V I N TRAMMELL, or “Newt” Trammell, as those who love him are
Ha* ' o f calling him, was born in Habersham county, Ga., in June, 1830. He

W ' r and made even in his young days one of the best, most clear-headed rep
ll“ .ntatives that Catoosa county ever had.
n ' S the war Mr. Trammell located in Dalton, and was appointed agent of the
/ lt r v Atlantic railroad at this place by Campbell Wallace, then Superintend-
Western roa j” He continued in that position some years.

that '‘ i|i)(> || ht present occupies the position of Chairman of the Georgia Rail
i?’ miission. When the law constituting the railroad coininisgion went into
road 1 rtYammell was appointed a member of that board by Gov. Colquitt. Mr.
41 at first refused to accept the position, but upon being pressed accepted a
Bf 111 , 1 ”™ appointment,and when that term expired was induced to aecepta six years
yeaiS ‘ i p j )ag | jeeu on the commission ever since having been appointed

twice oy Xortheu last fall re-appointed him a year before his term of office ex

to hold “\ ew t” Trammell’s honorable and brilliant career in the state
well worth mentioning in this connection. He was a most important fac

Iler a military government, and continued the prey of republican plunderers
>me years longer.
The incident has been variously related by different writers, and is no doubt
hniliar to the readers of The Argus, and we will only recall it in brief. In Octo
er, 1871, when Bullock resigned the governorship of Georgia, Benjamin Conley,
was president of the senate and by virtue of that office became Gov
rnor, and was sworn in just two days before the democratic legislature met.
i hen the legislature met, “Newt” Trammell was elected president of the senate,
li 1 most of the leaders of democracy were outspoken in favor of declaring Mr.
rammell Governor at once. But Mr. Trammell would not have it so; he had seen
be dire effects of two contending state governments in Louisiana, and saw in the
liyonet rule-of that state a warning. He proposed to have a genaral election
rdered by the legislature, but the democrats feared that it would be impossible to
hss the bill by a two-thirds majority over Conley’s veto. But Trammell believed
leould be passed, and it was introduced. It passed both houses, ami went to Con
|y; he vetoed it. It went back, passed the house by a two-thirds vote, and then
rut to the senate. In the senate the vote stood 27 to 14; President Trammell cast
I s vote for the bill; it passed, the election was ordered and Smith was made Gov
tiior., The state was saved from carpet-bag misrule and bayonet terrorism by
Trammell’s clear, cool head and his patriotism.
■ Mr, Trammell now’ lives in Marietta. He has eight living children —three boys,
fcd five girls. Paul B. Trammell, of Dalton, is the oldest; IV. J. and L. N., jr.,
I'” 1 live in Marietta. Os the girls, Mrs. S B. Scott, lives in Atlanta; Mrs. G. L
■orris lives in Birmingham, Ala., and Misses Alice, Fleta and Maggie live at their
■mr s home.
Vr. Irammell, to Dalton’s sorrow’, 'removed from here in 1885, to reside nearer
j» duties, and to Dalton’s j >y, he will return here when his term of office expires
111I 11 the state can be induced to let him off and give him back to us. Dalton has
pays loved him, always been proud of him, and always delighted to honor him.
