Atlanta, ^Ga., Sept. 14.—Hugh M.
Dorsey, the next governor of Geor
gia, was considered a confirmed old
bachelor before he went to Valdosta,
Ga., and married Miss Adair Wilkin
son, which was on June 29, 1911.
Mr. Dorsey was then forty years
old and had served as best man for
most of his old college mates. He
was in great demand for these occa
sions and frequently made long trips
to stand up at the wedding of a
friend. They had about come to the
conclusion that Mr. Dorsey was de
termined to die a bachelor, until he
surprised them on a day in June by
following their good example.
Hugh Dorsey was born on July 10,
1871, in Fayetteville, Fayette coun
ty, the son of Rufus T. Dorsey and
Sarah Bennett Dorsey. His father
was then a practicing attorney of
Fayetteville, and afterwards moved
to Atlanta and opened an office here.
Later he established the well-known
law firm of Dorsey, Brewster, Howeil
and Heyman, of which Hugh Dorsey
became a memoer when he gradu
ated. Judge Dorsey presided over
the city court of Atlanta for many
years and was a man beloved by a
host of friends. He died in 1909.
His widow survives him, and resides
at No. 10 East Sixteenth street in
Atlanta.
Some of Hugh Dorsey’s family
connections were rather humorous
ly “mixed” in his campaign for gov
ernor. His brother, Dr. Rufus T.
Dorsey, married a daughter of W. S.
Witham, the Atlanta banker. Mr. i
Withom strongly supported Gover
nor Harris, but Mrs. Dorsey support
ed Mr. Dorsey, her bother-in-law.
Hugh Dorsey's sister married Luther
Z. Rosser, Jr., and while 'ie support
ed Mr. Dorsey, her brother-in-law,
ther, Luther Z. Rosser, Sr., was
against him. Mrs. Hugh Dorsey is a
girlhood friend of Mrs. L. G. Hard
man, wife of the Commerce, Ga.,
candidate, ar;l there was a friendly
rivalry between <hem as to whether
Hugh Dorsey or Dr. Hardman would
carry Lowndes county, their girlhood
home.
Dr. Rufus T. Dorsey is known to
his friends as “Dutch” Dorsey urd
was one of the greatest football play
ers that ever wore an Auburn
form. Cam D. Dorsey, another bro
ther of the governor-elect, was a star
player at the University of Georgia,
while Roy Dorsey, a third brother,
also played at the University of
Georgia. Cam D. and Roy Dorsey
are Atlanta lawyer?. Mi. Dorsey
has one other sister, Mr?. S. B. Yow,
of Lavonia, Ga.
The governor-elect went lo school
in Fayetteville and Atlanta, gradu
ated lrom the University of Georgia
in 1893, and took a law course at th<
University of Virginia, after which
he entered the firm of Dorsey, ll.ew
ster, Howell ami Ilpyman. of which
he has been a member since. He was

Mr. W. W. Webb Will Run Orphans*
Home Excursion Saturday.
On Saturday, September 16th, Mr.
W. W. Webb will run his annual Or
phans* Home excursion from Val
dosta to Macon and intermediate
points on the “shoo-fly” schedule,
leaving Valdosta at 5:40 a. m. and
Tifton at 7:20 a. m. Returning spec
ial train will leave Manor, at 6:30 p
m., running from Macon to Valdr :ta,
arriving at Tifton at 9:45 p. m.
Tickets good to return on special
train or any regular train up *o
Monday night, September 18th.
Round trip fare from Tifton is:
whole ticket $1.75; half ticket 90
cents.
It ia especially urged that all who
can possibly do so take advantage
of this opportunity to visit the Or
phans* home.
Mr. Webb began running these ex
cursions sixteen years ago, at whicn
time there was not an orphanage in
the state that would accept children
under two years of age. He realized
the need of such an institution and
requested that a “Baby Annex” be
added to the Orphans’ Home, and
offered to give a part of the proceeds
from his excursion toward the build
ing of thi3 annex; the result is, the
annex now cares for thirty-three ba
bies, all under two years old, and it
has been paid for during this time
out of the proceeds of the Annual
Orphans’ Home Excursions.
On arrival of the excursionists the
Home will be engaged in some of its
daily operations, such as gardening,
housekeeping, cooking, etc., and the
visitors will have an opportunity to
get some idea as to what the institu
tion is doing for the orphans of the
state.
It is requested that everybody car-
a picnic dinner at the Home for the
visitors and orphans.
