He is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and for the past twenty years or more has been identified with the progressive public life of the State. He is a former chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, was the representative from Terrell county in the Legisla ture of 1915-16, and during that ses sion was intimately identified with all of the most important legislation then framed and adopted. His prac tice in law is a very extensive one in both the state and federal courts, and has taken him in the courts prac tically all over Georgia. In addition to his law practice and his interests in Terrell county, Mr. Yeomans is a large apple grower, hav ing extensive orchards in the vicin ity of Cornelia. There were eight or ten applicants for the appointment and Governor Hardwick’s selection was made only after an unusually close survey of the situation. Judge Yeomans will, it is understood, take office at once.
