The boards of county commission

Lucian l.. Knight, state Historian
and Compiler of Colonial Records. is
assembling into three volumes a
complete personal history of every
Legislature gathered together in
Georgia since the Revolution. so far
as such history, with all the data
available, may be assembled.
Mr. Knight already has completed
a list Of the various Speakers, and
has accurately made up the rolls OF
a number Of Legislatures. This his
tory is now scattered throughout
hundreds Of state documents of one
sort and another, particularly in the
various House and Senate Journals.
When Mr. Knight has finished his
work, il WIN be possible to locate the
Legislative terms of every member
who ever has served in the various
General Notwithstanding that
as matters now stand, il is all but
impossible to do.
In connection with a great many
of these former members Of the Vari-
Gus Legislatures, Mr.. Knight will be
able to carry in this work parts Of
their records-esp ecialiy concerning
the larger eNeUlS-bnu llllo W III gt
done in such wise that these records
may be located quickly and com
pactly, when desired.
Mr. Knight already has dug UP
many quaint and interesting bits of
history In connection with some
members-for instance, it Is not gen
orally known that Jones county
once furnished a Speaker of the
name of Joseph Day for three con
secutive terms Speakers then were
elected annually. Moreover at that
time. Jones county had four members
of the House, by reason OF lis vast
wealth and then extraordinary i'm
portance among the counties. There
were at that time only about one
third the number Of counties the
state now has. II used to be the law
IN Georgia, too, to send at least one
Representative and Senator from
each county which made the Senate
very large body. although not nee
essari so large as the House.
Mr. knights office in the capitol Is
one of the busiest, and certainly one
of the most interesting, of all the
State departments and it is admit
tedly one of the most intelligently
conducted.
