From the Atlanta Constitution:


Surprise, shock and grief will
spring from the announcement of the
sudden death at his home in Dawson
of Congressman James NJ. Griggs of
the Second Georgia district.
Stricken down in the prime of life,
not having yet reached the half-cen-
fury mark, Judge Griggs has passed
at time when most men are COM
ing into years of repened experience,
reaching their period of greatest abil-
ity and usefulness.
Judge Griggs has been prominent
in the public and political life of
Georgia for more than twenty years,
and his steady and continued promo
ton was a tribute not only to his
ability, but TO his personal magnet
ism and widespread popularity.
Shortly following his admission to
the bar he came to Atlanta in 1887
as one of the under-secretaries to
the clerk of the house of representa-
tives. In those days the legislature
elected solicitors general and judges,
and his popularity brought him sue
cess in his candidacy for the former
Office in the Pataula circuit. Re-
elected in 1892, he resigned the year
following to accept appointment to
the judgeship, to which he was twice
reelected without opposition.
Then followed his election to con-
gress from the second Georgia dis
trict and a service of more than
twelve years in the national legisla-
tive body, where no member, per-
haps, has ever enjoyed a greater per-
sonal popularity, and where impor-
tant position and honors came to
him through that characteristic and
his ability in the performance of
their functions. He was one of the
few democratic members of the house
ways and means committee, the most
important committee of that body,
and twice held the distinguished hon
or of chairman of the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, in
which his splendid work bespoke the
wisdom of the choice.
Few men have enjoyed wider ac-
quaintance and friendship among
those of national and international
Importance and note, fact which
gave him distinct advantage in the
performance of public service.
Constant in his attendance upon
congressional sessions, energetic and
resourceful, always ready with re-
Spouse to call of party state or dis
trict, quick to answer the humblest
petition from constituent, many years
of capable and useful service might
have yet been his had death not
called so quickly.
Judge Griggs will be missed, not
alone from congressional halls, but
from his state, wherein he had made
warm friends from one end of it to
the other.

From the Macon Telegraph:

The announcement in The Tele-
graph yesterday of the sudden death
Of Hon. James M. Griggs of Dawson,
representative in congress from the
Second district created a distinct
shock throughout the state, for he
was yet young, and seemingly the
picture of health and bodily strength.
But one cannot always tell. The
only certain thing is the fact that
life is uncertain. Today one -four
ishes like a green bay tree, and to-
morrow he is cut down like stubble
and cumbers the ground.
The three men that have figured
most, perhaps, in the political life
Of the old Second district in our
time are now gone-Turner, Russell,
Griggs-and what mighty men they
were! Turner, for great ability and
pure patriotism, had few equals and
probably no superior in the broad
land. Tom Reed said he was one of
the few great men he had known.
Ben Russell, the white knight, the
Incompatible good fellow and bril-
liant orator, only recently passed

three in the domain of politics. The

From the Pelham Journal.

The community was panied and
shocked this morning to learn of the
death of Jim Griggs.
The close place he held in the
hearts of his people is evidenced by
the universal expression of sorrow
over his sudden passing away.
For over twenty years he held a
prominent place in public life, and
his popularity grew as his acquaint-
ance broadened and more years were
added to his public service.
His most conspicuous public SER
vice was as congressman from the
Second district of Georgia. Although
on the minority side in congress he
secured recognition on some of the
most important committees and was
a recognized power against the OPP
position.
He was faithful to his constituents
and always active in their behalf.
No appeal was ever addressed to him
from even the humblest of his con-
stituents that did not receive his
personal careful attention.
His magnetism won and held the
friendship of men from the time of
their first acquaintance, and no nook
or dark Granny of the district can
be found where the name Of jim
Griggs is not mentioned as the name
of a personal friend.
The Second district especially
mourns his loss.

From the Savannah News:

The announcement of the death OF
James NJ. Griggs, representative Of
the Second congressional district,
comes as a shock and surprise. 1t
will cause profound regret and sor-
row throughout his district and the
state. Indeed, it will cause feel
ing of sadness throughout the entire
country, because he was we'll and
widely known not only on account OF
his prominence in congress, OF when
he had been a member nearly ten
wears. but also because of the facC
that he was for so long a time the
chairman of the democratic con-
gressional committee.
His death came suddenly and
without warning. A stroke OF apo
plexy freed his soul from its tene-
ment of clay and in a moment MS
earthly career was ended.
He was a comparatively young
man, only forty-nine, and he hao
reason to expect many more years
of usefulness. He had served the
people of his county, district and
state we'll, and this fact will help 10
tighten the sorrow of his family ana
friends. AS solicitor general, Judge
and congressman he made record
of which any man might be proud.
His achievements were due to his
native ability and personal efforts.
He had neither wealth nor infiuen-
tial friends to assist him IN making
his way in the world. Now that ne
has crossed the great divide 1t VIII
be remembered that he was kindly
hearted gentleman in whose hand
clasp there was a generous warmth
and in whose friendship the utmost
confidence could be placed.

His death is a severe blow to the

He stood high in congress, and
was one of the recognized leaders

of strong convictions and high pur-
noses. He was true to his trlends
and never refused to aid them OF the
people of this district in any man

No congressman ever proved a
more willing worker for the district

universally admired by the people at
