Chapter IISTATE ELECTED OFFICESEXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTTHE GOVERNORThe Governor of the State of Georgia is a constitutionalofficer, recognised as such in all of the State Constitutions fromthe first of 1777 through the tenth of 1983. As the head of theExecutive Branch he is vested with many powers and chargedwith duties too numerous to be listed here. He is thecommander-in-chiefofthe National Guardand is the chief lawenforcement official of the State. By law he is ex-officio amember of many boards, bureaus, commissions and committees. The Governor has the power of veto over enactments ofthe General Assembly with the exception of ConstitutionalAmendments. The General Assembly does have the authorityto override a Governor©s veto. The Governor has five days,excluding Sundays, in which to approve bills received by himfrom the General Assembly while it is in Session. After theGeneral Assembly adjourns, he has thirty days, excluding Sundays, from the date of adjournment in which to approve or vetobills. If the Governor fails to approve or veto a bill within therequired time, the bill automatically becomes law without hissignature. The Governor makes appointments between sessions of the General Assembly to fill most appointive offices ingovernment, but all original appointments made by him mustbe confirmed by the Senate. He likewise appoints to fill unexpiredterms in most elective offices until the next regular orspecial election.The Governor is elected at a general election held on Tuesday, after the first Monday in November, in each fourth yearafter 1946. The Governor serves a four-year term and may seekre-election for one additional succeeding term. The term commences with the Governor©s inauguration which occurs duringthe first week of the General Assembly session which immediately follows the general election.Minimum eligibility requirements for the Office of Governorare U.S. citi/enship for fifteen years, legal residency of the Statefor six years immediately preceding the election and at leastthirty years of age.Authority and responsibilities of this Department are enumerated in OCGA, Title 45-12 and the State Constitution.HISTORY. The Office of Governor traces its origins tocolonial times. Although Oglethorpe, the first executive officerof the colony, had no official title, he is referred to as "ResidentTrustee". Those succeeding Oglethorpe during the Trusteeperiod were titled Presidents of the Colony of Georgia. The titleof Governor was first used during the Royal period. During theRevolutionary War, a provincial government came into powerand gubernatorial responsibilities shifted to the President of theCouncil of Safety. However, the Royal Governor and hiscouncil remained in office until 1776 when the Council ofSafety placed the Royal Governor (James Wright) under housearrest. Wright fled from Georgia but returned in 1779 and©continued as Governor of the British held portion of Georgiauntil 1782. The Constitution of 1777 provided for a governor tobe elected by the legislature, but greatly limited his authority.The Constitution of 1789 provided the Governor with vetopower over legislation. An 1824 amendment to the 1798 Constitution provided for the popular election of the Governor. Inthe case of death, resignation or disability of the Governor, allConstitutions since 1789 provided for executive power to passto the President of the Senate (the 1777 Constitution providedfor executive power to pass to the President of the ExecutiveCouncil). The Lieutenant Governor was designated as President of the Senate in the 1945 Constitution.Governor©s StaffThe Governor©s staff is responsible for providing a broadvariety of services to the executive branch of state government,the General Assembly, and the general public.Staff functions are varied and diverse and include policyanalysis, scheduling the Governor©s appointments, answeringhis correspondence, writing speeches and press releases, representing the Governor at functions when he is unable to attend,preparing executive orders and executive minutes and otherexecutive documents, processing criminal extraditions, processing resignations and other vacancies and appointments ofjudicial officials and executive officials, monitoring legislationand monitoring state programs for effectiveness and efficiency.The Governor©s staff also handles special projects andresearch for the Governor and must also maintain records onstate licensing and examining boards, regulatory commissions,and on other executive boards and commissions.

It was one of the nation©s pioneer stateagencies in combining into one operation the important functions of budget analysis and policy planning.In the area of budget analysis, OPB has three majorresponsibilities fiscal policy development, development of theannual state budget, and management of the budget and fiscalaffairs for the Executive Branch.OPB©s role in policy planning involves efforts to ensure theorderly and balanced development of Georgia©s human, economic and physical resources. This process includes a comprehensive assessment of the needs of the state and, working withbudget analysis, an assessment of how the state can best allocate its resources to meet these needs.In addition to policy planning, OPB©s policy analysts also areresponsible for guiding and coordinating the functional planning efforts of state agencies.Other specialized activities of OPB are described in thefollowing descriptions of the responsibilities of each of thedivisions within OPB.The Office of Planning and Budget is headed by a Directorappointed by the Governor.

The Office of Planning and Budget traces itsorigins to the Budget Bureau which was established in 1931 inthe Office of the Governor (Ga. L. 1931 Ex. Session, p. 94). Thisforerunner of OPB was charged with promoting economy andefficiency in the management of the State©s finances. The enacting legislation for the Budget Bureau repealed the Acts of 1918and 1922 which established the Examining Commission andState Investigating and Budget Commission respectively. Theoperations of the Budget Bureau were amended in 1943 withthe establishment of the Finance Commission charged withacting on any budget appeals filed by State agencies (Ga. L.1943, p. 298). All acts relating to the Budget Bureau weresuperseded by a 1962 Act (Ga. L. 1962, p. 17).During the 1972 executive reorganization of state government, the Budget Bureau was abolished and all of its functionstransferred to the newly formed Office of Planning and Budgetin the Governor©s Office. 1973 saw passage of an amendatoryact to comply with constitutional requirements for annualappropriations and to comply with the Executive Reorganization Act of 1972.Clark Talmage Stevens, Atlanta.Director, Office of Planning andBudget, April 28, 1977-date.

The Office of Secretary of State is one of theoldest in Georgia©s executive branch. The Constitution of 1777mentioned "the secretary" of "the governor and the executivecouncil" (Art. XXX, Marbury and Crawford, p. 10) and the29

Act of September 16, 1977 required certain documents relatingto land grants to be filed with "the surveyor general©s office"and"the secretary©s office" (Marbury and Crawford. p. 318). TheConstitution of 1789 declared. "The great seal of the state, shallbe deposited in the office of the secretary . . ."(Art. II, Par. 11,Marbury and Crawford, p. 17), but made no other reference tothe office. It was the Constitution of 1798 that formally established "a secretary of state" and "a surveyor general" (Art. II,Par. 12, Marbury and Crawford, p. 27), who were both, like thegovernor, elected by the General Assembly fora two-year term.The Constitution of 1877 continued only the office of theSecretary of state, who assumed the duties of the SurveyorGeneral.The Constitution of 1877 (Art. 111. Sec. VI I) also empoweredthe Secretary of State to incorporate banking, insurance, railroad, canal, navigation, express and telegraph companies.Other businesses and organizations were incorporated by thestate©s superior courts. Beginning in 1938, copies of applications for incorporation and orders of the superior court judgethereon were required to be filed with the Secretary of State©soffice, which then issued certificates of incorporation (Ga. L.1938, p. 218). In 1976, the legislature directed that all articles ofincorporation should be filed directly with the Secretary©s office(Ga. L. 1976. p. 1102).The Secretary of State first became involved in the management of elections by the Act of February 18, 1873(Ga. L. 1873.p. 26). The legislature transferred the duties of consolidatingand proclaiming election results from the Governor to theSecretary of State in 1921 (Ga. L. 1921. p. 91).The Secretary©s duties relating to professional certificationbegan with two laws of 1908 which created the State Board ofExaminers of Public Accountants (Ga. L. 1908, p. 86) and theState Board of Veterinary Examiners (Ga. L. 1908, p. 88).The legislature first required dealers in securities to registerwith the Secretary in 1913 with passage of the "Georgia BlueSky Law"(Ga. L. 1913. p. 117). then seven years later created aSecurities Commission consisting of the Attorney General, theCommissioner of Commerce and Labor, and the Secretary ofState as chairman.The Department of Archives and History was established asa separate state agency in 1918 (Ga. L. 1918, p. 137), operatingunder direction of a State Historical Commission.The State Government Reorganization Act of 1931 (Ga. L.1931, p. 7) enhanced the Secretary©s powers by abolishing theSecurities Commission and the State Historical Commission,thereby transferring regulation of securities and control of theDepartment of Archives and History to the Secretary of State,and consolidating the examining boards under his administration.Joseph Maxwell (Max) Cleland,Lithonia.

Georgia©s legislative concern for its naturalresources dates back at least as early as 1763, when the Assembly passed "an act to prevent persons throwing ballast orrubbish, or falling trees into the rivers and navigable creekswithin this province" (Marbury & Crawford, p. 364).In the decades following the Civil War, when many of Georgia©s leaders spoke of creating a commercial and industrial NewSouth, the General Assembly passed many laws promoting theuse and development of natural resources.By the early I970©s, the various aspects of managing Georgia©s material resources from controlling pollution to administering state parks and historic places -- were thus regulated bymyriad agencies, departments, boards and authorities. Manyof these were consolidated by Ga. L. 1972, p. 1015 into theDepartment of Natural Resources, substantially forming theagency as it exists today. Changes since then have generallyrefined and extended the Department©s powers to administer,regulate and promote the state©s natural resources, recreationalareas and historic sites.49

Other members of the Department were: Chairman of the Revenue Commission, Chairman of the HighwayBoard, the Comptroller General and a member of the GeorgiaPeace Officers Association. The Department was charged withthe responsibility of appointing the Commissioner of PublicSafety. This initial Act provided for the Uniform Divisionknown as the Georgia State Patrol. In spite of numerousamending acts related to the Department, the primary responsibility of the State Patrol remains unchanged. In their 1937Fords with bullet proof glass, the first state troopers patrolledthe rural and public roads and highways of the State to "prevent, detect and investigate criminal offenses appertainingthereto, and to safeguard the lives and property of the public"(Ga. L. 1937, p. 337). The enacting legislation of the Department also provided for the establishment of a Division ofCriminal Identification, Detection, Prevention, Investigation,which became known as the Georgia Bureau of Investigationand was established as a separate state agency in 1974. Anamending Act of 1943 (Ga. L. 1943, p. 197), changed thecomposition of the Department and changed the name of theadministrative officer to Director of Public Safety. The Executive Reorganization Act of 1972 established the Board of Public Safety, mandating it with policy making functions over theDepartment of Public Safety. The responsibilities of theDepartment of Public Safety were retained under the Reorganization Act, however, the name of the chief administrativeofficer was changed to Commissioner.In 1973 (Ga. L. 1973, p. 1301) the Georgia Crime Information Center was established as a division of the Department.The functions of the G.C.I.C. were transferred to the G.B.I.when it was established as a separate state agency.

Later that year, during the regular session ofthe General Assembly, the offices of State Tax Commissionerand Commissioner of Revenue were abolished, with all of theirpowers and duties transferred to the newly formed StateRevenue Commission (Ga. L. 1931, p. 31). Additional responsibilities assigned to the Commission included those previouslyvested with the Secretary of State in relation to motor vehicles,motorcycles, and chauffeurs.

VIII, Sec. 4, Par. Iand OCGA 20-3).The University System of Georgia consists of eighteen universities and senior colleges and fifteen junior colleges. Theseinstitutions offer comprehensive programs of instruction,research and public service, and are located throughout theState so that approximately ninty-six percent of the populationlive within thirty-five miles of at least one of the institutions.The fifteen member Board of Regents includes one memberfrom each of the ten congressional districts and five membersfrom the state-at-large. The members, who serve seven-yearstaggered terms, are appointed by the Governor, subject toconfirmation by the State Senate.Board MembersThe Chancellor of the University System is appointed by andserves at the pleasure of the Board of Regents. As chief executive officer of the Board, the Chancellor is responsible forperforming any duties directed by the Board. He also serves asthe chief administrative officer of the University System, andgenerally, supervises all institutions.Authority and responsibilities of the Board of Regents andthe University System are enumerated in OCGA 20-3.HISTORY. State supported higher education in Georgiatraces to an act passed by the General Assembly in February1784, setting aside 40,000 acres to endow a college or seminaryof learning. That year, Abraham Baldwin drafted a charter forsuch an institution to be named Franklin College in honor ofBenjamin Franklin. In January 1785, the legislature adoptedthe charter, making Franklin College (which became the University of Georgia in 1859) the oldest state-chartered universityin the nation. Baldwin was named college president by its firstboard of trustees, although it was 1801 before Franklin Collegeactually began operation. The same act also created a SenatusAcademicus of the University of Georgia, comprised of theBoard of Visitors and the Board of Trustees. The Board ofVisitors, charged with "the general superintendence and regulation" of the University was comprised of the Governor andCouncil, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, and the ChiefJustice of the State. The Senatus Academicus, a forerunner ofthe Board of Regents, was specifically charged with responsibility for governing the University, managing its property, andappointing its president, nominated by the Board of Trustees.The Board of Trustees had power to fill vacancies on the Board,to appoint professors and other university officers, set salaries,and prescribe the course of studies (Marbury & Crawford, p.560). At various intervals, the General Assembly establishedadditional state colleges and placed them under the control ofindividual boards of trustees. The passage of the Morrill Act in1862 stimulated the expansion of state schools by providingfederal land grants to support colleges which would emphasizeacademic programs related to agriculture and mechanical arts.An 1890 amendment to the Morrill Act provided annual cashgrants to the land-grant colleges."wn©5 "V rv i A IK University of Georgia under a newly created Board of Regentswiiuam i. uivme, jr. .......................

It is his duty to administer and enforce allrules and regulations made by the Board.Authority and responsibilities of the Department of Veterans Service are enumerated in OCGA 38-4.HISTORY. Georgia©s concern for her veterans may betraced to the post-Revolutionary War period, long before theformal establishment of a Department of Veterans Service.Through various legislative acts, the state provided veterans ofthe American Revolution and the Civil War with certain, specified benefits. In response to the needs of Spanish AmericanWar and World War I veterans, a Service Bureau was established in 1923 to assist ex-service men and women in securingbenefits provided by federal legislation. The ReorganizationAct of 1931 abolished the Service Bureau and the GeorgiaSoldiers Roster Commission and transferred all functions tothe newly established Veterans Service Office. In 1937 thefunctions and responsibilities that related to Confederate veterans and their dependents were transferred to the StateDepartment of Public Welfare; two years later these functionswere transferred to the State Division of Confederate Pensionsand Boards. Responsibility for non-Civil War veterans affairsremained with the Veterans Service Office until 1945 when theDepartment of Veterans Service was established (Ga. L. 1945,p. 319). The Department became a constitutional entity underthe 1945 Constitution. In 1955 the Georgia State War VeteransHome was established and responsibility for it was vested withthe Veterans Home Commission. In 1960 the Commission wasabolished and responsibility for the home was transferred to theDepartment of Veterans Service. Also in 1960, the Division ofConfederate Pension and Records was abolished; its powerswere transferred to the Department of Veterans Service and itsrecords to the Department of Archives and History. In 1983 thetitle of Director of Veterans Service was changed to Commissioner of Veterans Service (Ga. L. 1983, p. 1401).Peter Wheeler, Crawford. Commissioner.

Unified judicial system. All courts of the stateshall comprise a unified judicial system.Cite: Consti. Ga. Art. VI, Sec. I. Pars. 1 and II.THE SUPREME COURTThe Supreme Court was created by an amendment to the1798 Constitution, which became effective under the Act ofDec. 22, 1835: but no enabling legislation was passed until theAct of Dec. 10, 1845 (Ga. L. 1845, p. 18). It was organized in1846 some seventy years after Georgia had become a state andthen consisted of three justices who rode the circuits. Thepresent organization of the Supreme Court is defined in theConstitution of 1983 (Art. VI, Sec. VI).The Supreme Court exercises exclusive appellate jurisdictionin the following cases: all cases involving the construction of atreaty or of the Georgia or U.S. Constitutions and all cases inwhich the constitutionality of a law, ordinance or constitutional provision has been drawn in question; all cases of election contest; cases involving title to land; all equity cases: allcases involving wills; all cases in which a sentence of death wasimposed or could be imposed; all habeas corpus cases; all casesinvolving extraordinary remedies; all divorce and alimonycases.

It also hasresponsibility for supervision of the State Bar of Georgia.There are seven justices on the bench of the Supreme Court,and from time to time, they elect their Chief Justice and Presiding Justice. The qualifications for the office are admission topractice law for seven years and any additional requirementsprovided by law. The terms of office are for six years each,staggered so that two vacancies occur in one general electionyear, two in the next, and three in the following. The justices areelected on a non-partisan basis. The Governor fills any vacancyby appointment until the next general election when a successorto complete the unexpired term is elected.The Supreme Court makes and publishes its rules coveringevery phase of practice in and before the court.

Thefirst term of the court was held on the first Monday in January1907, and the court originally consisted of only three judges.The court now consists of nine judges and its present organization is defined in the 1983 Constitution (Art. VI, Sec. V) and intheO.C.G.A. 15-3-1 through 15-3-12.The Court of Appeals is a court of review and exercisesappellate and certiorari jurisdiction in all cases not reserved tothe Supreme Court or conferred on other courts by law. Thedecisions of the Court of Appeals insofar as not in conflict withthose of the Supreme Court shall bind all courts except theSupreme Court as precedents (Ga. Const. Art VI, Sec. V, Par.III).The court sits in three divisions of three judges each, with themembers assigned by the Chief Judge. The Presiding Judge ofeach division is appointed by the Chief Judge, who is elected bythe court in such manner and for such time as may be prescribed by rule or order of the court (O.C.G.A. 15-3-1). TheCourt of Appeals is not an intermediate appellate court. Itsdecisions are not reviewed by the Supreme Court as a matter ofright but only on the grant of a writ of certiorari.An Act of March 8,1945 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 232) provided thatthe three divisions of the court, sitting as one court, shall passon and determine each case in which there is a dissent in thedivision to which the case was originally assigned. When themajority of the judges of the division to which a case is assigned,are of the opinion that certain question(s) should be passedupon by all members of the court, the question(s) may bepresented to all the members of the court, sitting as one court.In the event of an equal division of the judges when sitting as abody, the case shall be immediately transmitted to the SupremeCourt (Ga. Const.. Act VI. Sec. V, Par. V).To qualify to serve as a Judge of the Court of Appeals, aperson shall have been admitted to practice law for seven yearsand shall reside in the geographical area in which they areselected to serve. The General Assembly may provide by lawfor additional qualifications (Ga. Const. 1983, Art. 6, Sec. 7,Par. 2). All judges of the Court of Appeals are elected on anonpartisan basis for a term of six years and are elected at thesame general elections at which members of the GeneralAssembly are elected. The Governor fills any vacancy byappointment until the next general election at which time asuccessor to complete the unexpired term is elected.William LeRoy McMurray, Jr.,Cordele Born April 11, 1925 inYork Co., S.C.

SUPERIOR COURTS Alcovy Circuit— Newton and WaltonFor seventy years prior to the organization of the SupremeCourt, the Superior Courts of the various counties were thehighest courts of record in the state. At present there are onehundred fifty-nine Superior Courts, grouped into forty-fivecircuits. The Superior Courts have jurisdiction in all cases,except as otherwise provided in the Constitution. They haveexclusive jurisdiction over trials in felony cases, except in thecase of juvenile offenders as provided by law; in cases respectingtitle to land; in divorce cases; and in equity cases. The SuperiorCourts have such appellate jurisdiction, either alone or bycircuit or district, as provided by law (Constitution of 1983,Article 6, Section 4, Paragraph 1).The Superior Court judges and district attorneys are electedby the voters of the state at the same general elections at whichmembers of the General Assembly are elected. The term ofoffice of each is four years (except in the Atlanta JudicialCircuit which has eight year terms, Ga. Laws 1956, p. 636),beginning on the first day of January following the election.Vacancies in unexpired terms are filled by appointments of theGovernor until successors are elected at the next general election. The minimum qualifications for Superior Court judgesare age of thirty years, three years residence in the state, andseven years of legal practice. District attorneys must be residents of the state three years just preceding election orappointment; permanently reside in the circuit at the time ofelection or appointment; be twenty-five years of age and havebeen licensed to practice law in the Superior Courts for at leastthree years.Ga.L. 1968, p. 1567 changed the title of Solicitor General toDistrict Attorney. Ga. L. 1976, p. 586 (Sec. 38-41) changed thetitle Judge Emeritus to Senior Judge (eff. January 1,1977). TheJudicial Administrative Act (Ga. L. 1976, p. 782) provides forten judicial administrative districts under the jurisdiction of theSuperior Court judges presiding within the ten congressionaldistricts of the state.Thomas W.

In 1879 the General Assembly of Georgia passed an actchanging the flag to a vertical band of blue next to the staffoccupying one-third of the flag; the remainder was divided intothree horizontal bands with the upper and lower in red and themiddle in white. In 1905 the state Seal was added to the verticalblue band.The present state flag was established by Ga. L. 1956, p. 38. Itis described as follows:"The flag of the State of Georgia shall be a vertical bandof blue next to the flagstaff, and occupying one-third ofthe entire flag; the remainder of the space to be a squareof two-thirds, the length of the flag, having the groundred; therein a broad saltier of blue, bordered with white,emblazoned with white mullets or five pointed stars,thirteen in number, corresponding in number to that ofthe Confederate States of America as recognized by theConfederate States Congress*; so that the said remaindershall be the same as the union of the flag of the Confederate States as approved and cited in Statutes at Large ofthe Confederate States Congress, 1st and 2nd Sessions,1862-3-4, and approved May 1, 1863, such remainderbeing popularly known as the Battle Flag of the Confederacy. On the blue field shall be stamped, painted, orembroidered the coat of arms of the State."engraved on it "Wisdom," the second "Justice," the third"Moderation"; on the right of the last pillar a man standingwith a drawn sword, representing the aid of the military in thedefense of the Constitution; the motto, "State of Georgia 1776."(O.C.G.A. 50-3-30)GEORGIAN'S CREED"Accepting, as I do, the principles upon which Georgia wasfounded, not for self but others; — its Democratic form ofGovernment, based on 'Wisdom, Justice and Moderation'; itsnatural resources; — its Educational, Social and Religiousadvantages, making it a most desirable place to live.I will strive to be a pure upright Citizen, rejecting the evils—loving and emulating the good.I further believe it is my duty to defend it against all enemies,to honor and obey its laws, to apply the Golden Rule in all mydealings with my fellow Citizens.I feel a sense of pride in the history and heroic deeds accomplished by my fore bearers, and shall endeavor to so live that myState will be proud of me for doing my bit to make my State abetter Commonwealth for future generations."(Ga. L. 1939. pp. 1425-26).FLAG ALLEGIANCE(Ga. L. 1935, p. 1253)"I pledge allegiance to the Georgia Flag and to the principlesfor which it stands; Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation."THE GREAT SEALExcept for the date it bears, the present Great Seal has beenin use since 1799 with the exception of the period 1863-1865,when a specially designed Great Seal was used, and the period1868-1871, when it was hidden by Secretary of State Nathan C.Barnett. I n 1872, it was restored by M r. Barnett after Georgianswere again in power in the state. During the three Governors'controversy in 1947, Secretary of State Ben W. Fortson, Jr. hidthe Great Seal under the cushion of his wheelchair until theGeorgia Supreme Court decided who was the rightful ChiefExecutive.In 1914, the date on the Seal was changed by legislativeaction from 1799 to 1776 to correspond with the signing of theDeclaration of Independence. The device on one side is a viewof the seashore, with a ship bearing the flag of the United Statesriding at anchor near a wharf, receiving on board hogsheads oftobacco and bales of cotton, emblematic of the exports of thisState; at a small distance a boat, landing from the interior of theState, with hogsheads, etc., on board representing the State'sinternal traffic; in the back part of the same side a man in the actof plowing, and at a small distance a flock of sheep in differentpostures, shaded by a flourishing tree; the motto thereon,"Agriculture and Commerce, 1776." The device on the otherside is three pillars supporting an arch, with the word "Constitution" engraved within the same, emblematic of the Constitution, supported by the three departments of government, viz.,the legislative, judicial, and executive—the first pillar having•Confederate Stales Congress recognized Kentucky and Missouri, whichaccounts for the 13 stars. Each of these states had Union and ConfederateGovernments. Representatives of their Confederate Governments were admitted to the Confederate States Congress.THE CHEROKEE ROSEGeorgia State FlowerThe Cherokee Rose was designated the state flower by Ga. L.1916, p. 1046. It is believed that the rose was introduced into theState, perhaps directly from China or from China by way ofEngland. One well-known horticulturist agreeing with this viewgives the year 1757 as the date of its introduction into Englandand advances the belief that it reached the United States shortlyafterwards. The name, Cherokee Rose, is a local appellationderived from the Cherokee Indians who widely distributed theplant, which elsewhere is known by the botanical name of rosasinica. Growing wild the rose is a high climbing shrub, frequently attaining the proportions of a vine, is excessivelythorny and generously supplied with leaves of a vivid green. Itsblooming time is in the early spring but favorable conditionswill produce a second flowering in the fall of the year. In color,the rose is a waxy white and large golden center and the petalsare of an exquisite velvety texture. Because of its hardy naturethe plant is well adapted to hedge purposes and has been usedextensively in this fashion throughout the South.THE BROWN THRASHERGeorgia State BirdThe Brown Thrasher was designated by the General Assembly as the official Georgia State Bird (Ga. L. 1970, p. 418). TheThrasher is common in the eastern United States, rangingnorth to Canada and west to the Rockies. This bird is migratoryin the north, it winters in the southern states. The BrownThrasher is almost a foot long. It has rich brown color with awhite stripe on its wings; brown feathers stripe the creamywhiteness on its breast. The bird is one of the finest songstersnative to America; it is a very fine mimic, thus resembling themockingbird, to which it is closely related. It nests in low bushesor brush piles, and its eggs are thickly peppered with brownspecks. The Brown Thrasher, though vegetarian in part, is atrue friend to the farmer because of the grasshoppers, caterpillars, and worms it destroys.252
