The Democrats held the legislature and elected to the United States Senate Walter T. Colquitt over Charles J. Jenkins. Although a member of the minority party, Mr. Toombs was appointed chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Here his high character and moral courage shone conspicuously. He proved a stone wall against the perfect flood of legislation designed for popular relief.
"He's the millionaire father of the missing boy that Colquitt and I are trying to find," Hibbert explained to Dick. "Have you any clue, as yet?" Prescott inquired. "Nothing worth while," sighed Lon Hibbert. "It's too bad," murmured Dick. "Mr. "He is," agreed Lon Hibbert. "His wife is dead, isn't she?" "Perhaps if he doesn't find his son it may be as well," Dick hinted. "Why, as well?"
"Ah! you may talk of your great men, but none on 'em is equal to brother Colquitt; for he, in our county, tried a man for his life, and sentenced him to be hung, preached a sermon, mustered all the men in the county, married two people, and held a prayer-meeting, all in one day. Now, wa'n't that great?" Before a jury he was unequalled.
"You get outside, my man!" broke in Detective Colquitt quietly, but he took hold of the deputy so forcibly that Valden was quickly on the outside of the tent. "Now, you come along with me, my man," Colquitt continued, "and I'll tell you who's who. First of all, this boy is Mr. Mr. He is indignant with you, already, for maltreating his son when you had him under arrest at another time. Mr. You "
"Won't you stay and have an ice with us?" urged Hibbert. "Too much to do," replied Colquitt, shaking his head and walking out. Now the high school boys found themselves doubly, trebly puzzled. If Mr. Hibbert were an amiable lunatic, what of Colquitt? Both had appeared to know something mysterious about young Holmes. Tom Reade, also, was thinking deeply. Dave Darrin was frowning.
You had better wait for further proofs until after you have found the boy -who, according to all accounts, stands badly in need of a real father just now." "You are right -quite right," admitted Mr. "Yes, we will find my son first. But tell me something more. Didn't the boy know that Bill Mosher wasn't his real father?" "No; it had never been hinted to him," Colquitt answered.
"I know that my boy is alive, and that he needs a father. Moreover, I feel certain that he is at this moment not far away from me. What shall we do next? Did you wire for more detectives from your agency?" "There was no need to do so," Colquitt replied. "There are several officers now looking for the lad, and they are certain to come upon him. Hibbert and I will aid in the search.
Outside they encountered Mr. Colquitt once more. "May I have a word aside with you, sir?" demanded Colquitt. "A dozen," agreed Hibbert readily. The two walked apart from the boys, going down the sidewalk together slowly. But the youngsters heard Hibbert say earnestly: "I tell you, Colquitt, that is the boy. He has the ear and all. And he'll be in luck with the money he'll have!"
He thereupon moved that Judge Joseph E. Brown of Cherokee be selected as the compromise man, and that his name be reported to the convention. This was agreed to unanimously, and Joseph E. Brown was nominated; and yet, if the written ballots had been counted, it would have been found that Alfred H. Colquitt, who afterwards became so distinguished in Georgia, had been nominated by the committee.
Charles J. Jenkins, a compeer of Lumpkin and Colquitt, was essentially different from both in many of the features of his character. His mind was more logical, more analytical, and capable of deeper research. He had little ambition, and whenever he was before the people, it was when his friends thrust him there.
