COL. HERBERT CLAY
His Gircular Letter--His Steam And His
2 Merry Brown Eyes.
# Col. E. H. Clay, candidate for Solicitor-General, is mailing out
hundreds of circulars to the voters of the circuit. He mails each voter
three circulars---one with reference to what the Marietta papers had to
say when he announced---one containing a letter dated Washington
City, and signed “Josiah Carter” with glowing reference to himself,
Col. Herbert, and one containing an editorial from the Macon News
with reference to Col. Clay's pretended advocacy of placing Solicitors
on a salary. Col. Herbert is not satisfied with having these references‘
to himself published and copied in the papers of the circuit. He is‘
mailing them out to the voters at a heavy expense and he seems de
termined that they shall know, if they have negligently failed to findi
it out long ago, what a real sure enough, big and important man he is.
Let us for a moment consider these circulars: {‘
' THE MARIETTA PAPERS. |
. At the time the Marietta papers made the reference they did to
Col. Herbert, Hon. J. P. Brooke had not announced for re-election.
When Mr. Brooke did announce the following is what they said
editorially about his candidacy. |
Marietta Daily Herald, April 13h, 19i2: “Col. J. P. Brooke an-i
nounces his candidacy f{or Solicitor-General in another column. His
present assistants, Hon. Wm. Butt and Col. Gordon B. Gann, will re-‘
main with him, if elected, and these three make up a team that is hard
to excel in ability, alertness, cleverness and conscientious devotion to‘
duty. Col. Brooke's record as state’s attorney is one that any man
might justly feel proud of, and is guaranty of efficiency and fidelity,
should he be elected for another term.”
Marietta Journal and Courier, April 11th: “Hon. J. P. Brooke, of
Alpharetta, announces for re-election to the office of Solicitor-General
of the Blue Ridge Circuit. He has made an enviable record as solici
tor and this seems sufficient reason for retaining him in a position he
has filled so well. He has many friends in Cobb county. Mr. Gordon
B, Gann, of Marietta, who is so popular in his native town ond county,
will be one of his assistants.”
The above editorials from the home city of Mr. Clay speak the
truth and they give the unanswerable reason why Col. Brooke and
his assistants should be re-elected for a second term, as is customary
where they have faithfully discharged the duties of the important and
responsible position of Solicitor-General.
JCSIAH'S WASHINGTON LETTER.
The most of this letter has references to the lamented Senator Clayi
and his many good qualitics. We want to remind candidate Clay now
that he should have learned when he was studying law that “estates
tail are prohibited in Georgia” and the fact that the people kept his
beloved father in office for nearly a quarter of a century is no good
reason why he should be elected Solicitor. In other words, Col. Her
bert you must “paddle your own canee,” you can't discharge the great
and responsible duties of the office of Solicitor and prosecute criminals
on the reputation of your distinguished father.
But let us go back to “Josiah's” letter. It is a peach. Quoting
his exact language, he says: There is something about the boy (re
fering to Col. Herbert) that reminds me of Henry Grady. He has
Grady's merry brown eyes.” All this must be true, for Col. Herbert
is mailing it out to the voters so they can read it to the family. Re
markable, remarkable, great reason why he should be elected solicitor!
COL. HERBERT'S STEAM.
Further quoting from Josiah’s Washington letter in comparing
candidate, Herbert to Grady, he says, quoting verbatim: “It was the
steam he carried---one hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch---
and Steve Clay’s boy (Herbert) is the same way.” . :
Let us figure a little, dear readers, on this, for it is getting excit
ing. Col. Herbert weighs about two hundred and twenty pounds.
That would make eleven thousand square inches in his physicial make
up and with 150 pounds of steam to the square inch would make him
contain, according to Josiah, 1,661,000 pounds of steam, enough steam
to run 469 saw mills, 313 cotton gins, 87 steamboats and 13,313 wind
mills. Just think of it We have in our midst one of the wonders of
the age---Marconi's wireless telegraphy isn't in it---all this must be

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
true because candidate Herbert has indarsed it in toto for he is mailing
it out to us dear voters. We think this too much steam to concen.
trate in the office of solicitor general for it might explode while court
was in session and blow the Judge Jury, Witnesses, defendants and
'spectators from Klondike to Africa!
' THAT CYCLONE.
Josiah in his Washington letter further says: “So I warn the
rest of the circuit that if they hear anything like a cyclone just re
member its Herbert.” All this must be facts, pure and simple, else
candidate Herbert would not be mailing them out to the voters to
read. You must not get too badly frightened, however, about this
cyclone business, for cyclones generally play up in the air, they come
and go quickly, flash out like a meteor and are gone for good. The
Good Book says: “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell from whence it cometh
nor whither it goeth.”
SOLICITORS ON SALARY.
Col. Herbert's third circular undertakes to show that he is in favor
of placing solicitor generals on a salary. Do you voters believe he is
really in earnest about the salary proposition, or do you think he is
just letting off a few pounds of that steam to get votes? If he is
really in favor of the salary system he is trying to get the “wrong
sow by the ear,” he ought not to be running for solicitor, that office l
has no law making powers; he should run for the Legislature and in
troduce a bill to change the law. If Col. Herbert is in favor of such a.
law, he is a very recent convert on the subject, for last year, 1911, he
had introduced into the Legislature a bill to create a City Court forl
Cobb county, naming himself in the bill as solicitor of the court on
the fee basis, that is, he was to have the same fees where there were
convictions that the solicitor General of the Circuit now gets. 1
This bill passed the General Assembly and Col. Herbert Clay now
candidate for Solicitor-General, 2ppealed to the Governor to sign the ‘
bill but the Governor refused to do it and vetoed it because of several
obnoxious provisicns in it. ‘
CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK. ‘
In one of the circulars Col. Herbert is mailing to the “now dear
people,” reference is made concerning him as follows: “Herbert Clya
the son of the late Senator Clay, is a candidate for Solicitor Gencra].l
It is said by those who know him best that he is a ‘chip off the old
block.”” Can there be any mistake about this reference? llsn't it the
other way? Don't Col. Herbert think he is the “block’ and the late
Senator was the “chip’™?
COL. HERBERT MUST RUN FOR OFFICE.
Col. E. Herbert has a great haukering after office. He takes him
self very seriously. Soon after his distinguished father’s death he was
a candidate for U. S. Senator to succeed his father, but everybody took
his candidacy as a joke except Herbert. Next he said he was going
to run for Judge. Next he had a bill passed by the Legislature
creating a City Court for Cobb county, naming himse!f Solicitor on
the fee basis. This bill was vetoed by the Governor. Next he was a
candidate for the office of Assistant U. S. Attorney, but for some reason’
clear to everybody except Herbert, he could not impress the Washing
ton authorities of his ability to fill the office and another party got the
job. Now he is a candidate for Solicitor-General. Oh well, after all,
Col. Herbeit has got to let off some of that “steam,” so let him “cy
clone” around awhile and unload some of it---BLUE RIDGE POST.

THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE.
Do not sap the springs of life by neglect of the human mechanism, by allowing
the accumulation of poisons in the system. An imitation of Nature’s method of ‘
restoring waste of tissue and impoverishment of the blood and nervous strength is |
to take an alterative glyceric extract (without alcohol) of Golden Seal and Oregon
grape root, Bloodroot, Stone and Mandrake root with Cherrybark. Over 40 years
ago Dr. Pierce gave to the public this remedy, which he called Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. He found it would help the blood in taking up the proper ele
ments from food, help the liver into activity, thereby throwing out the poisons from
~ the blood end vitalizing the whole system as well as allaying and soothing a cough.
No one ever takes cold unless constipated, or exhausted, and having what we
| call mal-nutrition,which is attended with impoverished blood
i and exhaustion of nerve force. The ‘‘ Discovery’’ is an all-
N %2 round tonic which restores tone to the blood, nerves and
\\ =3 heart by imitating Nature’s methods of restoring waste
of tissue, and feeding the nerves, heart and lungs on rich
| 3@' &&) red blood. - laf
