was born in Jefferson county. Georgia,
in 1915, and be was therefore at the
time Of bis death So years Of age. He
graduated at Franklin College in 1884.
began soon after the study Of law, was
admitted TO the bar in 1926. and in the
following year WAS chosen Solicitor
General Of the western circuit OF Geor-
gia He entered Congress in lS43,
where be remained until 1850. In 1850
he became the candidate OF the Union
wing OF the Democratic party for Gov
e0or Of Georgia-his opponents being
the foes Of the compromise measures
and was chosen. In 1855 he was again
elected to Congress. On Mr.. Buchan-
an accession TO the Presidency MIR,
Cobb became Secretary OF the Treasu-
ry, 10 remaining till the outbreak Of the
Rebellion. He was o General in the

Such was the career Of this once pop
