Mr.. Ennis was a member OF the last
senate, which expired when the pres
ent Legislature was elected in October.
If the legislature were summoned in
extraordinary session tomorrow, Mr..
Ennis could not sit in it, as Senator
Brown of Barlow, has been duly named
as his successor
The mere fact that the present legis-
lature will not be assembled and sworn
in until next June, in all probability, in
no wise affects the situation of Mr..
Bnnis-he is neither de jure nor de
facto a member of the present house.
Considerable misrepresentation seems
to exist throughout the state as to this
matter, arising, no doubt, from the
more or less endless confusion brought
about in the terms Of service of some
state house officials, when the meeting
of the Legislature was changed several
years ago from October to June.
There is nothing in his custody that
Secretary Of State Phil Cook guards
with more jealous care than the few
specimens of Georgia's early great seal
of state preserved in the department.
Those used toward the end of the
Eighteenth century-along about 1890
and up to within relatively modern
times, are genuine curiosities. Indeed,
it is necessary to go back quite num-
Der of years to find a specimen of the
present orn-out seal that can be deci-
phered.
The old seal of state used to be
about the size of a breakfast plate"
said Secretary Cook today, and the
way it was trimmed down from its an
Gent formidable proportions to it's
present thin and wafer-like form is an
interesting story.
"Old Nathan Barnett who was Sec
rotary for A years before the war, was
a very serious minded man, and mem
befs of the Legislature loved to joke
him. Besides his salary, he got moth
ing much by way of fees, $500 per an
mum, perhaps. being the limit of his
yearly receipts He was scrupulously
honest, however, and at the end Of one
year he turned in an expense account
