This gratifyig word concerning
the present session of the General
Assembly comes from none other
than Bro. S. M. Griffin who ought
to know what he is talking about.
He says: “The General Assembly
convened in Atlanta Jan. 12th. I
think the members will do a good
job. I know most of them personal
ly. I have known some of them for
many years. In looking over the
new Senate I find a cross section
of business men in our state. Out
of 54 Senators there are 6 lawyers;
3 doctors; 2 country newspaper
editors, (exclusive of the presiding
officer), 1 housewife, and she is
also the National Democratic Com-
mitteewoman; 1 preacher, and 1
mortician. The remainder are
business men and farmers. I am re
liably informed by female Senate
attaches that there are four bache
lors in the body.”
