There is a good deal of interest in the
meeting of the Georgia Bar Association to
be held at Warm Springs, beginning Thurs
day. and il is probable that number of
savannah lawyers will be in attendance.
Several of the leading members of the
Savannah bar will leave here Wednesday
night. 1 believe" said Judge Robert Fall
giant of the superior court yesterday, land
1 would like very much to be one of the
party, and unless the work of the court
prevents it, l shall go.
AZ have talked about the trip with sew
eral of the members of the Savannah bar
and several of them declared that they
will go If they can possibly get off for
the trip from their work. 1 think Savan-
nah ought to be well represented. These
annual meetings of the lawyers of the state
do a great deal of good. Matters of gem
eral interest to lawyers and the judges
who preside over the courts are always
discussed by the leading barristers of the
state and much is gained by those who at
tend the meetings"
1t is understood that the programme OF
the annual meeting of the lawyers this
year will be unusually interesting. 1t is
probable that there win be a larger at
tendance than ever before. Among the
lawyers in Savannah who have been con-
spcuous at previous meetings of the as
ISOLATION and who are thinking of going
this year, are Mayor Meldrim, Mr.. Elem
ing G. duBignon, Mr.. Walter S. Chisholm
Mr.. Walter G. Charlton, Judge Robert
Falligant, Mr.. Samuel Adams and others
1t is not definitely known yet just who
will go from Savannah this year, but an
effort was being made at the court house
yesterday among the attorneys who
CHANGED TO be there on legal business to
canvass the crowds and see if a party
could not be made up to represent the Sa-
yannah bar. A number of leading lawyers
declared ii their wish to 60 if their bus
mess would permit their absence
Capt. Joseph White of this city is in
possession of rare old book giving the
lineage of the royal families of Great Bri-
tain, including ireland, Scotland and Eng
land, which just at this time, in a season
of celebration abroad in honor of the
queen is interesting. There has been
much printed in the newspapers lately
concerning the genealogy of Queen Victo-
ria Somebody who figured out the his
tory of the family far back as William
the Conquerer neatly put it in the follow
ing language:
queen Victoria is the niece of William
~, who was the brother of George ",
who was the son of George III, who was
the grandson of George II, VINO was the
son of George 1, who was the cousin of
Anne, who was the sister-in-laW of Will
liam III, who was the son-in-law Of James
II. who was the brother of Charles II,
who was the son of James 1, who was the
cousin of Elizabeth, who was the sister of
Mary, who was the sister of Edward VI,
who was the son of Henry VII, who was
the cousin of Richard III, who was the
uncle of Edward V, who was the son of
Edward VI, who was the cousin of Henry
VI, who was the son of Henry " who was
the son of Henry ", who was the cousin
of Richard II, who was the grandson of
Edward III, who was the son of Edward
II, who was the son of Edward l. who was
the son of Henry I'LL who was the son
of John, who was the brother of Richard
!, who was the son of Henry II, who was
the cousin of Stephen, who was the
cousin of Henry l, who was the brother
of William Rufus, who was the son of
William the Conqueror, 800 years ago"
The old book in possession of Capt.
White goes one better. 1t takes the fam
fly of Queen Victoria clear back to Adam,
the very first man that ever wore his
sovereignty beneath his hat 1t shows
that the queen is just 1856 generations re-
moved from Adam, 1t isn't worth while
to run the list all the way back but skip
ping over 125 generations we trace her lin
cage TO Japhet, who was son of Noah,
who was a son of Iamech, who was son
of Methuselah, who was son of Enoch,
who was a son Of Jared, who was son
of Mahalaled, who was son of Cainan,
who was son of Enos, who was son of
Seth, who was a son of Adam, the first
man."
