GOVERNOR MATTHEW
TOLBOT WAS CHIEF EXU
UTIVE FOR ONLY 13 DAYS
(By Lawson E. Thompson
Washington, Ga.)
Matthew Tolbot, Wilkes coun
ty farmer, holds the distinction
uf being the chief executive of
Georgia for the shortest periol
of time of any of the long and
distinguished line to hold the
office of governor. Histories
tell us very little of this man
but public records and tradition
toupled with the histories reveal
ihe fact that he was quite a dis
tinguished man. born in
Governor Tolbot was
Virginia in 1767 and moved to
Georgia in 1785, settling in
Wilkes county. The next year
he became a Captain in the Geor
gia Militia, which office he held
under Colonel Dooley and later
under Colonel Graves, both dis
tinguished military heroes. He
served in the militia for several
years, the exact length of time
being unknown, but it is certain
that it was more than six
years.
There is no accurate record to
show when he went to Elbert
county, but the records show
that he held the office of County
Clerk of Elbert about ftv a
months in 1790 and 1791. H o
resigned lhis office and the next
year became a Justice of the
Peace in Wilkes county, and
Ihen in 1793 he resigned this of
llce to become county surveyor
of Wilkes county. There is no
record to show how long he held
this office, but in 1795 he was a
delegate to a Constitutional
Convention as a representative
from Oglethorpe county. He
must not have lived in Ogle
thorpe county very long for in
1798 he was again a delegate to
a Constitutional Convention but
this time he was representing
Wilkes county.
Following this he became a
State Senator from Wilkes from
1799 to 1803. He was in retire
ment until 1808, when he was
again elected to the State Senate
serving continuously until 1822.
Six of these years he was presi
dent of the Senate, and it was
during one of these six years that
he was president of the Senate
that he became governor. On
October 24th, 1819, Governor
William Rabun died and Mat
thew Tolbot succeeded to the
governor’s chair. He served
only until November 5th, a pe
riol of thirteen days.
He died in 1827 at the age of
sixty years. Though a native of
Virginia this adopted Georgian
held public office in Georgia for
The practically his entire adult life.
records of Wilkes county
show- that he was the owner of
large tracts of land and was one
of the county’s foremost citizens
and farmers. He belonged to
that class of slave owners who
formed the upper class in the
ante helium days.
He died on his farm about ten
miles from Washington and was
buried at Smyrna Methodist
church nearby. A simple stone
marks the last resting place of
this unusual man. Here his re
mains have slept peacefully for
more than a century freed from
all mortal cares.

One of the most valuable stamp col

by (fount Philip von Ferrari, duke of
Galliera. Of unlimited resources, he

It wa* found that he had willed his
collection, valued at million* of dol
lars, to the German postal museum at
Berlin. French courts seized it as
alien property and sold It at public
auction. The sale of the 25,000 speci

amount realized was $827,000 which

(tough surfaced weaves are the cen
ter of attraction In the fabric realm.
There is a whole list of names to Men
tlfy these materials which are so at
tractive and so new, such as mate
taffe, cloque or cioky, and they are
also referred to as quilted, blistered
or puffed cloth, for they are finished
In various effects. Enthusiasm for this
type of materials extends eve,t into
cottons. Many resort costumes are be
log made of them. For party frociis
the quilted or puffed taffetas and
satins are particularly attractive. The
beauty about these rough-surfaced
weaves Is that no matter tow ex
tremely rough-looking they may be.
and the rougher the smarter, they are
exquisitely thin and lightweight. Be

matalasses It U sure to have that look
of elegance which rich materials si
ways impart. The gown In the picture

Unfortunate Chick.
At Altoona, I’a., two bantam chicks
starved to death because they were
unable to cat as a pigeon does—from
the mouth of the mother. The ban
tam eggs were hatched by a pigeon
along with a number of pigeon eggs.
The mother pigeon accorded her
mixed brood the same treatment, feed
ing all with her bill. The ptgeona
thrived, but the chicks, unable to fake
food from the bird's mouth, died.
