I UCIUS CORNELIUS MATTOX, physician and planter, Homerville, Clinch Co., Ga., son of Col. Elijah Mattox, was born in Tattnall county, Ga., May 5, 1829. His father was a native of Colleton district, S. C., came to Georgia and set- tled in Tattnall county when young, and was aide-de-camp to Gov. Charles J. McDonald. His maternal grandfather held an office in the colony of Georgia under King George III. Dr. Mattox received as good an education as the common schools of the time and locality afforded, and, part of the time, was under the private instruction of a tutor. After preliminary preparation he entered the Eclectic Medical college, at Macon, Ga., in 1849, from which he was graduated in 1851. He located in Madison county, Fla., and after practicing there two years he came back to Clinch county, where he has practiced since. In 1862, he enlisted in the Fifth Georgia cavalry, which was assigned to duty with the army of the west. During a part of the time he served as a surgeon. He was wounded, but not seriously, at Saltville, Va. After the war he returned to the practice of his pro- fession, ranks the foremost practitioner of it in the county, and enjoys a very large and very remunerative practice. In addition he conducts very extensive planting interests, takes great pride in agricultural matters, cultivates scientifically, and by his neighbors is considered a model farmer. In 1890 he was elected a member of the general assembly from Clinch county, and served on the committee on

agriculture, insane asylum, temperance, and deaf and dumb asylum. He was nominated for congress by the people's party, in opposition to Congressman Henry G. Turner, and was defeated. Dr. Mattox was married April 6, 1854, to Miss Sarah A., daughter of Thomas J. Shinholser, of Macon, Ga., by whom he has had six children. She died January 2, 1882; and he afterward married Miss Eliza L., daughter of Rev. Robert F. Lanier, Jasper, Fla. He is a member of the masonic fraternity; in religious belief is a Second Adventist, and is a regularly ordained minister of that faith.

DAVID J. SIRMANS, farmer, Dupont, Clinch Co., Ga., son of Benjamin Sir- mans, was born in Emanuel county, Ga., March 1, 1819. After his birth his father moved first to Appling, and afterward to Lowndes (now Clinch) county. Mr. Sirmans was raised on the farm, and educated at the common schools of the county; and when he reached manhood entered upon farming and stock-raising, which he has followed all his life, with satisfactory success. He served during the Seminole war as a volunteer soldier under Capt. John J. Johnson, Col. Brown's regiment. In 1845, he was elected tax receiver and collector of the county, and served one term. In 1859, he was elected to represent his senatorial district in the general assembly, and has served as tax assessor in both Echols and Clinch counties. Mr. Sirmans has been married twice: First, in 1840, to Miss Eliza, daughter of John Wilkinson, of South Carolina, who died in 1886. His second marriage was to Miss Lucinda, daughter of William Roberts, of Echols county, Ga. He has two sons living: Ezekiel, farmer, Clinch county; and Benjamin, farmer, near Waycross, Ware Co., Ga, Mr. Sirmans is a quiet man, devoted to home and its associations, and is highly esteemed by his fellow citizens.

FRANKLIN B. SIRMANS, farmer, Dupont, Clinch Co., Ga., son of Ezekiel J. Sirmans, was born in Clinch county, Sept. 22, 1853. His grandfather, Benja- min Sirmans, came from Emanuel to Lowndes (now Clinch) county, and was among the first settlers of the county. Mr. Sirmans was raised on the homestead, and was educated at the common schools of the county. On attaining to manhood he engaged in farming and stock-raising, which he supplemented with a general merchandise business. Such has been his foresight, and so wisely and energetically has he managed that he has been extremely successful in all his enterprises. In 1886 he was elected to represent the Fifth senatorial district in the general assembly, defeating by a large majority one of the most popular men in the district-a gen- tleman who had served ten terms in the general assembly and had been a delegate to one constitutional convention. In 1892, he was again elected, defeating the people's party candidate by over 2,000 plurality. During his last term he was chairman of the auditing committee, and a member of the following standing com- mittees: Banks, finance, agriculture, penitentiary, journalism and education. Young, enterprising, progressive and public-spirited, he has a bright prospect for the future, presenting to him a field for great usefulness. Mr. Sirmans was mar- ried Feb. 28, 1878, to Miss Amanda, daughter of Charles Strickland, of Clinch county (sister of L. and B. Strickland, at Valdosta, Ga.). Two children are the fruit of this union: A son, Chandler, born Aug. 29, 1880, and a daughter, Edna, born Oct. 16, 1892. He is a member of the masonic fraternity, and very prominent in the local lodge.

MOSES TOMLINSON, farmer, Stockton, Clinch Co., Ga., son of John Tom- linson, was born in Clinch county, Dec. 29, 1840. His father was a well-to-do farmer, and was reared on the farm and given such education as was obtain-

able at the common country schools. He enlisted in Company H, Twenty-ninth Georgia regiment, Aug. 31, 1861, which command was assigned to Gen. W. H. T. Walker's division. He was made second sergeant of the company, and served until disabled by the loss of his arm-Aug. 31, 1864, the third anniversary of his enlistment-in an engagement near Jonesboro, Ga. In 1873 he was elected ordi- nary and held the office two terms-eight years-and afterward was elected tax collector, to which office he has been continuously re-elected since. He still fol- lows farming, and is a good farmer, enjoying the respect and esteem of his fel- low-citizens. Mr. Tomlinson married Miss Elizabeth, daughter of H. P. Matthis, who has borne him nine children-five sons and four daughters-all of whom are living. They are as follows: Orin L., Lawton H., Horace C., John B. G., Wayne P., Laura E., Hattie P., Jessie E. and Alice M., all of whom reside in Clinch county.

GEORGE H. CAMP, Marietta, Cobb Co., Ga., a retired cotton manufacturer and capitalist, son of George and Elizabeth Camp, was born in the city of Utica, N. Y., in 1818. His grandfather, Talcott Camp, was a native of Connecticut, but moved to Utica and was in its early history the first mayor of that city. Mr. Camp's father was born in Connecticut, and was related to the first and most conspicuous member of the Hale family, the descendants of whom have marked their way by deeds of patriotism and valor. He commenced business life as a publisher and editor in Utica. Upon removal to Sacket's Harbor, N. Y., he established the "Gazette" in 1815, which he edited some years. Subsequently he became connected with the Sacket's Harbor bank, as president, which position he held until the removal of the bank to Buffalo, N. Y. Remaining in Sacket's Harbor, he engaged in the drug business, in which occupation he continued until his death. Mr. Camp's mother, who was a daughter of E. Hitchcock, was born in Connecticut, and was descended from prominent social and revolutionary families, Admiral Foote, Commodore Hitchcock and Commodore Howell of the United States navy being among her relatives. Mr. G. H. Camp was raised in Sacket's Harbor and was principally educated in the excellent high school of Jefferson county. In 1842 he came to Georgia and settled in Roswell, Cobb Co., where he identified himself with the Roswell Manufacturing company, just then started by Mr. Barrington King. In that business he continued until 1864, at which time he retired from the presidency of the factories-they having been burned by the Federal armies that year. Since that time he has not been actively engaged in any business. Mr. Camp was married in 1850 to Miss Jane M. Atwood, who was born in McIntosh county, Ga., in the year 1830. She was the daughter of Henry and Ann (McIntosh) Atwood. Mr. Atwood was a native of Connecticut and a lawyer by profession. He came to Georgia quite early in life and settled in Darien, where he practiced his profession several years. After his marriage he became a planter of Sea Island cotton, and owning a large number of negroes who were endangered on the coast during the war, he purchased the cotton mill at Curtright, Greene Co., Ga., to which place he removed his negroes for employment in the mill. Mr. and Mrs. Camp have five children living:

CLAY. What magnetism there is in that name! How the blood bounds at its mention. No matter by whom borne, or whenever, wherever or under what- ever circumstances it is written or spoken, it involuntarily and invariably creates an exultant thrill, as it brings to mind the chivalrous and patriotic "Harry of the West." Cobb county contributes to these Memoirs one bearing this talismanic name-one of the coming men of the "Empire State of the South." Alexander S. Clay, lawyer, Marietta, Cobb Co., Ga., son of W. J. and Ann (Peck) Clay, was born in Cobb county, in 1853. On his father's side he is of Scotch descent, his great-grandfather having emigrated from Scotland to this country about the middle of the last century, and settled in Virginia, where he lived and died. His paternal grandparents were W. M. and Margaret (Rose) Clay. He was born in Virginia in 1764, migrated to Georgia and settled in Washington county toward the close of the last century. He accumulated quite a large estate-owning 3,000 acres of land in one body-became one of the largest planters, and was one of the wealthiest citizens of the county at the tinie of his death, which occurred in 1853, in the ninetieth year of his age. Mr. Clay's father was born in Washington county in 1828, was reared on the plantation and has continued farming as his life occupation. He moved to Cobb county in 1846, which has since been his home. He served three years during the war between the states, and is a member of the Methodist church, of which he is a steward. Mr. Clay's inother is a daughter of James and Mary (Turner) Peck. Her father was a native of what is now Taliaferro county, Ga., was an ordained minister of the Baptist church, and preached until his death in 1890, aged eighty years. He moved to Cobb county in 1859, and for many years was county school commissioner. Mr. Clay was reared on the farm and during boyhood schooled at the near-by country schools. Later he went to Palmetto, Ga., where he received his preparatory education and then entered Hiwassee col- lege, Monroe county, Tenn., from which he was graduated in 1876. Returning home he immediately began the study of law under the preceptorship of Hon. David Irwin, and in 1877 was admitted to the bar. He located in Marietta, where he at once was accorded an advanced professional position, and has steadily risen until now he is acknowledged to be one of the best lawyers in the state, as well as a potential political factor. In 1881 he was elected a member of Marietta's city council, and was re-elected the succeeding year, but resigned and did not serve. In 1884 he was elected to represent Cobb county in the general assembly and served on the committees on railroads, finance and privileges and elections. In 1886 he was re-elected, was chosen speaker pro tem., appointed chairman of the committee on manufacturing, and made a member of the committees on finance, corporation and railroads. He was again elected in 1888 and unanimously elected speaker of the house. His labors and services during this term were unusually

arduous, of inestimable value to the state, and placed him high on the roll of Georgia's coming statesmen. In 1890 he was elected to represent his senatorial district (Cobb, Fulton and Clayton counties) in the general assembly and was unanimously elected president of the body-presiding with his usual ability, to his own credit and the advantage of the state. In 1894, he was made chairman of the state democratic executive committee and conducted the Akinson-Hines guberna- torial election. His political career may be said to have just begun, as he is only on the threshold of matured manhood, and the prospects and probabilities-aye, almost certainties-are, that he will attain successively to the highest positions within the gift of the people of Georgia. He is closer to the hearts of the people, and nearer to the front in the race for preferment than any man in the state. His name has already been mentioned in connection with the governorship. Mr. Clay was married in 1880 to Miss Fannie-born in what is now Douglas county, in 1863 -daughter of A. J. and Margaret (Butner) White. He is a native of Campbell county, Ga., and a large farmer. He volunteered in the Confederate service dur- ing the civil war, was captured and confined in Camp Morton, where he died. Of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Clay four are living: Eugenia H., Alexander S., Jr., Frank B., and Ryburn G. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. and of the masonic fraternity, and himself and wife are valued members of the Methodist church.

J R. HUMPHRIES, physician and surgeon, Acworth, Cobb Co., Ga., son of G. W. and Zula (McIntyre) Humphries, was born in Franklin county, Ga., in 1833. His paternal grandfather, Richard Humphries, of English extraction, was a native of Chester district, S. C., and followed farming. Leaving South Carolina he came to Georgia and settled in Franklin county, where he continued farming and stock- raising until he died. He served as a major in the war of 1812. Dr. Humphries' father was born in South Carolina, came to Georgia when a young man and lived awhile in Franklin county, moved from there to Morgan county, thence to De Kalb county, and finally moved to Calhoun county, Ala., where he lived until he died in 1890. He was a very ardent and prominent member of the Methodist church. Dr. Humphries' mother was a daughter of John Gunter McIntyre, who was a native of Scotland. Emigrating to this country he came to Georgia and settled in Franklin county. He was a farmer, a trader and miller, and became very rich. He lived all his life in Franklin county. Dr. Humphries was reared on a farm, receiv- ing his primary education at the nearby country schools, and a higher education at the Decatur high school. In 1852, he began the study of medicine under Dr. James F. Alexander, one of the most eminent physicians of Atlanta, and now (1895) president of the board of health of that city. He then attended lectures at the medical college of Georgia, Augusta-from which he was graduated in 1854. Sub- sequently he took a post-graduate course at the New Orleans college. Locating in De Kalb county he was establishing a fine reputation when the war between the states began. He entered the army and served as assistant surgeon for some time, but in 1863 permanently settled in Acworth, where he has since practiced his pro- fession, his patronage extending for miles around and into adjoining counties. Professionally his attainments are extensive and his ability superior; while his intel- ligence and winning social qualities have gained him great popularity.

Dr. Humphries was married in 1859 to Miss Sarah-born in De Kalb county, in 1842-daughter of Robert Joyce. He was a native of North Carolina, came to Georgia when a young man and settled in De Kalb county. He was a good and successful farmer, and spent his days in that county. This lady died in 1861, and Dr. Humphries subsequently married Miss O. H .- born in Forsyth county, Ga .- daughter of Hardy Strickland. Mr. Strickland was born in Jefferson county, Ga.,

but early in life moved to Forsyth county, where he successfully engaged in farming and mining, and became a large slave owner. He was a man of unusual natural ability and force of character, attained to great prominence and influence politically, and represented Forsyth county in the general assembly fifteen years. Later in life he moved to Cobb county where he died. Dr. Humphries has one child living- John R. Mrs. Humphries is an active member of the Baptist church, and the doctor is a master Mason.

JAMES L. LEMON, banker, Acworth, Cobb Co., son of James and Mary B. (Telford) Lemon, was born in Decatur, De Kalb Co., Ga., in 1835. His paternal grandfather, Robert Lemon, of Irish lineage, was a native of South Carolina, was a prosperous farmer, and was a soldier in the patriot army during the revolu- tionary war. He came to Georgia in 1822 and settled in De Kalb county, within six miles of where Atlanta now stands, where he died in 1848. Mr. Lemon's father was born in Anderson district, S. C., moved to Georgia, settled in what is now De Kalb county in 1821, built the first frame house on the ground now occupied by Decatur, and commenced merchandising in connection with farming. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, represented De Kalb county in the general assembly a number of terms, was a working member of the Presbyterian church -of which he was an elder-and assisted in organizing the first Sunday school in Decatur. In 1843 he moved to Marietta, then near Acworth, where he died in 1849. Mr. Lemon's maternal grandfather, William Telford, was a native of Scotland. When quite young he came to this country and settled in what is now Pickens district, S. C., and served as a soldier in the continental army. He afterward engaged in farming and died in Pickens district in 1841. Mr. Lemon was reared on the farm, and received only the limited education obtainable in the schools of the time and locality. In June, 1861, he enlisted in Company A (Capt. O'Neil), Eighteenth Georgia regiment, and went to the front. He, with his command, participated in the battles at Epling's Landing, Seven Pines, seven days' fight around Richmond, Gaines' Mill-famous for the desperate and formida- ble charge of the Black Horse cavalry on the position of the Eighteenth Georgia, by whose stubborn and deadly resistance they lost nearly every officer and heavily of the troopers-and Sharpsburg. About this time he was detailed for hospital duty and served three months. He then returned to the field and served as captain during the battles of Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and Knoxville. At this last battle he was shot and badly wounded and made prisoner, was in the hospital for the sick three months, and then left in prison until after the surrender. Before the war he started in life as a farmer, but in 1853 engaged with his brother, Smith Lemon, in merchandising at Acworth. The business was continued until 1885, when his brother went into the banking business, remaining in it until he died, in 1889. Mr. Lemon has been exceptionally prosperous and has acquired mnuch property. He is now largely interested in farming, has extensive milling interests and conducts a banking business. He possesses unusually fine business capability and excellent judgment; hence his continuous success. Mr. Lemon was married in 1856 to Miss Eliza-born in Cobb county in 1837-daughter of Thomas and Clara (Pierce) Davenport. He was born in South Carolina and early in life came to Georgia and settled in Cobb county, where he has prospered as a farmer and where he now lives. Mr. and Mrs. Lemon have ten children living and have three sons in business in Acworth. Mr. Lemon and wife are ‹levout and active members of the Presbyterian church.

I EANDER NEWTON TRAMMELL, chairman of the railroad commission of Georgia, son of Jehu and Elizabeth (Fain) Trammell, was born in Habershanı county, Ga., June 5, 1830. His paternal grandfather, William Trammell, who was of Scotch-Irish descent, was born in South Carolina, and married a Miss Lynch. He enlisted and served three years in the continental army during the revolutionary war under Capt. Daniel Duff and Col. Brandon, and participated in the siege of Savannah, December, 1778; battle of King's Mountain, S. C., Oct. 7, 1780, where he lost an arm, and battle of Cowpens, S. C., Jan. 17, 1781. He died in Macon county, N. C., December, 1843. Col. Trammell's father was born in Union district, S. C., and came to Georgia and settled in Habersham county in 1818, where he soon attained to great popularity and influence, and was twice elected to represent the senatorial district in the general assembly. His maternal grandfather, Ebenezer Fain, was of French extraction, a nephew of Baron Fain, a gallant member of Bonaparte's staff. Members of the family emigrated from France to this country before the revolutionary war and settled in Pennsylvania. Mr. Fain was born in Chester county, in that state, Aug. 27, 1762. While in Washington county, Va., in June, 1776, and not fourteen years of age, he enlisted for three months in the patriot army and was stationed at Black Fort and Mont- gomery Station, during which he was engaged in two battles with Indians-in one of which sixteen were killed. While in Washington county, N. C. (now Ten- nessee), he served three months, from June, 1780, as light horseman, under Capt. Trimble, Col. Robertson's command, joined with other troops at Gilberttown, and all marched to Pacolet river, S. C., where they had a fight, taking a number of prisoners. At Buffalo Creek, on Broad river, while on duty in the night as a sentinel, he shot John Fenlon, a spy, on whom was found an express note from Lord Cornwallis to a tory, Capt. Moore, urging him to defend his fort until troops could reach him. The Americans captured the fort, with Capt. Moore and 100 men, and the British reinforcements were intercepted at Musgrove's mills and dispersed. At Wofford iron works the patriots were suddenly attacked at night, and after a desperate struggle were compelled to fall back, but rallying, renewed the fight and defeated the enemy. He was subsequently transferred to Capt. Cunningham's company, which was attached to Col. Elijah Clarke's Georgia regiment. Col. Clarke started for Augusta, Ga., but finding the British occupy- ing that place and Georgia and South Carolina, he returned to Rutledge's Ford, on the Saluda river, S. C., where the command was discharged. In September, 1780, he re-enlisted for two months as mounted horseman, and as a substitute under Capt. Taylor and Col. Sevier in pursuit of Col. Ferguson, who was over- taken at King's Mountain, S. C., where, Oct. 7, 1780, a battle was fought, Col. Ferguson killed and 900 prisoners taken. In this battle Mr. Fain was wounded in one of his legs. From November, 1780, he served with Capt. Gibson and Col. Sevier against the Indians, who were badly defeated and their towns destroyed. He continued in the service until April, 1781. In 1783 he moved to South Caro- lina and settled in territory known as "Ninety-six," which comprised what is now Pickens and Pendleton and Anderson counties. Thence, in 1792, he moved to Buncombe county, N. C., and finally, in 1818, to Georgia, and settled in Habersham county. He was married in Jonesboro, Washington Co. (then North Carolina), now Tennessee, in June, 1781, to Miss Mary Black. She died in Gilmer county, Ga., Feb. II, 1846. Col. Trammell was reared and worked on the farm during his boyhood and youth, alternating between farm and school as the necessities of the crop demanded. At the age of nineteen he entered a boarding school at Batt's Creek (now Hiwassee college), Tenn., where he remained fifteen months. After leaving there he taught school a while, and then read law . under Simpson

Reid, at Blairsville, Ga., and in 1856 attended the law school at Lebanon, Tenn. Having been admitted to the bar, he located at Ringgold, Catoosa Co., Ga., and entered upon the practice of law as the junior member of the firm of McConnell & Trammell. In 1861 he was elected to represent Catoosa county in the general assembly, and in 1863 was re-elected without opposition. In March, 1862, he entered the Confederate service as quartermaster, with the rank of captain, the duties of which he performed in all its details with that promptness and exactitude which is characteristic of him in everything he does. His fidelity and patriotism elicited from the auditor in the quartermaster-general's department a letter com- plimenting him upon the evidence shown in his reports for his vigilance and honesty in the discharge of his duties, saying that this was the only letter of the kind he had had the pleasure of writing. In 1866 he resumed the practice of law in Calhoun, Gordon Co. He was elected a member of the constitutional convention of 1867-68, in which he did his most valuable work for the state. He was the recognized leader of the little band of fourteen dauntless patriots in that con- vention known as the "Hancock democracy," whose unflagging courage and un- relaxing labor saved and secured to Georgia the supremacy of the white race- a service which endeared him to the people, and will never be forgotten. At the election next succeeding he was unanimously tendered the nomination to the state senate, but declined the honor. In 1870 he was elected to represent the senatorial district in the general assembly, and was elected president of the senate. Gov. Bullock having resigned, Mr. Trammell became, by right, governor pro-tem. of the state, but the former president of the senate, Mr. Benjamin Conley, claimed the right and assumed the duties of the office, which came near precipitat- ing serious consequences. Fortunately the blended blood of Scotch-Irish con- servatism and French chivalric magnanimity, as represented by Mr. Trammell, interposed and prevented it. He was strongly urged by leading democrats throughout the state, and by the general assembly, to assert his rights, but fore- seeing the certain disorder and confusion, and the possible injury to the highest and best interests of the state that such a contention would provoke and prolong, he wisely and patriotically declined to do so. As president of the senate he was distinguished for his fairness, impartiality and parliamentary ability, and in 1873 was re-elected without opposition, and closed his four years' incumbency without having an appeal taken from a decision he had made. He was a Tilden elector in 1876, a member of the constitutional convention in 1877, in which he served on the committee on revision. He was president of the state democratic conven- tion in 1881, and chairman of the democratic executive committee in 1882 and 1883. Speaking of him as president of the memorable state convention of 1881 to nominate a governor, Col. Isaac W. Avery, in his history of Georgia, has this to say: "The Hon. L. N. Trammell was elected unanimously president of the convention. There has never been in the history of public conventions a finer piece of parliamentary presiding than Mr. Trammell's government of this fiery convention. It must be held in mind that he was a warm Colquitt supporter, and he had to steer between the expectations of his friends, for that decided leaning to his own side that an experienced chairman can so helpfully give, and the proclivity of the opposition to suspect his fairness and censure his rulings. It was the highest possible tribute to Mr. Trammell that both sides were satisfied and deemed his action fair. Not only this, but the clash of parliamentary strategy -and, in the turbulence of heated debate, there were repeatedly two dangerous contingencies constantly threatening, namely-inextricable confusion in the order of business, and an ungovernable turmoil. Mr. Trammell met both these perils with a most masterly skill and fairness. His solution of parliamentary puzzles was
