Is as full of stories of the olden time as any

one of bis best:
There is a big difference nowadays in
the way things are done, and want TO tell
you of q very eccentric character who lived
In the long ago, and who was quite celeb
rity in has day. l allude to old man Dread
Swain Of Emanuel county. For twenty
eight years he represented his county in the
state legislature, and many amusing things
are told of him. There were few railroads
in his time. and the only way for him to get
to MiliedHeville was to go on horseback or
walk, aud then, of course, If he went on
horseback he would be put the expense of
keeping his horse while there, so he usually
walked, taking his rife and killing game
and camping out on the trip. and it is said
of him that instead of boarding in the city
like the other member, he used to camp out
in the suburbs and go into town every day.
He was very penurious old gentleman
and hated to spend his money for anything
| recall one amusing tale that they used to
tell Of him, and 1t has the merit of being
literally true. The story, with some varla-
ers, but Is true only when applied to old
man Swain. AS told you. he usually took
his rifle with him to Milledgeville, and
along toward the close Of his many terms of
service he started from his home to the
capital on foot, as usual, and reaching his
old camping ground In the suburbs late in
the afternoon he pitched his camp for the
night. or for the term, for that matter
Early next morning his ever vigilant hunt
ers eye lighted upon the dome of the capitol
built during his absence. OF course ole
man Swain had never heard of moi
seen such things, and he at once took il

in the morning sunlight. "Hi-pi," said old
