Characteristic Of the Man


few months after the occasion last
mentioned, there occurred a little in
cident which was characteristic of the
man during his whole life. and which
serves to explain, in part, his wonder
full hold upon the people. In those
days before the public interest had
been aroused in the matter Of good
roads, there was one of those barriers
to progress which by some inexplic-
able inertia and lack of enterprise the
people Of a community will let stand
for a generation-a long steep hill in
a great market highway, three hun
dred feet of which will diminish by
half the ability Of team to draw a
load over a road sometimes thirty
miles long, although there may be a
convenient way the road could be led
around the hill with little work and
slight expense. My father and / had
started to Marietta with a two-horse
wagon loaded with two bales Of cot
ton-not half a load for the team on
any other part of the road, but when
we got half way up the Joe Green
hill, the red surface of which was rem
dered slick as glass by a light rain
which had fallen the night before, the
horses could not retain their foothold
sufficiently to pull the load. After a
long time spent in vain efforts to get
the load up the hill, my father urging
forward the team, and | scotching the
wheel with a rock to hold every inch

BEAUTIFUL SKETCH
BY MR.. McELREATH
Former Cobb County Citi-
zen, Now Member of
Legislature, Writes
of Clay's Life.

The movement for the erection
of a bronze statue of Senator
Alexander Stephens Clay in the
Public Park in Marietta is meeting
with great success.
The friends of Senator Clay are
subscribing rapidly and if every
committeeman pushes the work the
fund will be completed by the time
the committee meets again on the
First Tuesday in April.
The Atlanta Journal and the
Atlanta Constitution to have taken
up the work and both papers have
published cuts of the proposed
statue, and editorials calling for
subscriptions.
If the people of Cobb do their
part, as they are doing, their efforts
will be promptly seconded by
Senator Clay's friends and admirers
all over the state and there will be
ample funds to erect a monument
of which we will feel proud.
We reprint below an exceedingly
interesting sketch of Senator Clay,
written by Hon. Walter McElreath,
formerly of Cobb county, and now
a member of the legislature from
Fulton county, published soon after
the death of Senator Clay. 1t is
worthy of a place in every scrap
book in the county and should be
an inspiration to our boys.
