Site of Sherman's March.
Georgia seeded from the Union
early in 1861 and furnished the Con-
federate army "a regiments and 36
battalions. On Georgia soil were
fought the battles of Chickamauga,
Ringgold, Resaca. New Hope
church, Kennesaw mountain, Peach
Tree creek, Atlanta, Jonesboro, AL
latoona, and the skirmishes that at
tended Sherman's march through
the state. When the war ended the
state was ravaged.
But thrift, ambition and pride
remained. The people Of GeOr-
gia began to rebuild - a diff
cult job, a trying ordeal. But
soon after the Civil war ended,
Georgia resumed her enter
prises in every industrial line,
not even waiting for her re-
entrance into the Union, which
came in 1870.
There never has been any ques-
ton of patriotism and loyalty
among Georgians. During the Span
ish American war, Georgia fur
nished more volunteers in proper
ton to population than any other
state. The heroism of Georgia's sons
in World War I and World War II
has written brilliant exploits on his
tory's pages. And in Georgia thou
sands of soldiers, sailors, marines
and airmen were trained for their
jobs in every theater of war.
Georgia is the largest state east
of the Mississippi. From top to bot
tom its greatest length is 800 miles,
and from side to side its greatest
distance is some 260 miles.
Leads in Industry.
Georgia stands in the front rank
of the southern states in the vari-

include cotton and wooden knit

"It Vas The first colony in The
Western Hemisphere to forbid
slavery to brobibit rnm, to
found an orbbanage, to alloO
married Women fuU property
rights, to charter a state uni
Versity, to charter q college for
Women."
So states a marker at the
highest point in Georgia, 4,784
feet above sea level, at Mount
Enota, atop Brasstown Bald
mountain.
Back of that marker is over 400
years of American history, begin
ming with the explorations of Her.
nando De Soto, the gold-seeking ad-
venturer who journeyed through
that area in 1540. And, if legend is
correct, islands off the coast were
regarded in those days as the "gold-
en- isles of Guale." Their winding
waterways were favorite haunts of
pirates of the Spanish main, and
today parties often search for treas
ure plate and "pieces of eight"
cached there by Blackboard. But
the real history of Georgia begins
in 1888 with the founding of Savan-
nah.
Refugees Get Charter.
Among the debtors in English
prisons were men of high charac-
ter, splendid education and great
ability. In London were benevolent
gentlemen, too, who sought to found
home for these unfortunates and
place of refuge for the Salzbur-
gen and other prosecuted sects of
the continent of Europe. They
obtained charter from George II,
king of England, in June, 1882, and
selected Gen. James Edward Ogle-
thorpe as governor.
A man of great liberality and
marked ability, General Ogle-
thorpe landed at Yamacraw
bluff in February, 1873, with 116
emigrants and laid the founda-
tiOns for Savannah, the first
American city to be planned
before building.
During the next eight years about
$500 persons were brought over,
two-thirds of them German Protes-
tants. The Wesleys, John and
Charles, came in 1876 as young
clergymen. George Whitefeld ar
rived in 1740. Thus, from a small
beginning, Georgia grew to take
its place, 40 years later, with
the other IL colonies in throwing
off British domination.
Ravaged by War.
Twice Georgia was ravaged by
war. In May, ITS, more than a
year before the Declaration of In
dependence, Col. Joseph Haber-
sham and Commodore Bowen with
80 volunteers seized the powder
magazine at Savannah and secured
$4,000 pounds of powder, of which
Georgia authorities sent 5000
pounds to the Continental army at
Boston. In March, 1776, the Geor-
gians under Colonel Mcintosh, aid
ed by Carolinians under Colonel
Bull, burned and disabled out of
II British merchant vessels which
were attempting to carry on trade
with loyalist planters.
In December, 1778, the British
captured Savannah and Augusta fell
few months later. After the fall
of Charleston, S. c., in 1880, the
British overran all eastern Geor-
gia. 1t was not until 1871 that Col.

with SO votes when he dramatically
withdrew his own vice-presidentiaI
candidacy in favor of MI. Tru-
man, then his Senate colleague in
the 1914 Democratic convention.
The Missourian, who succeeded
to the presidency upon the death
of Franklin D. Roosevelt last
year, was nominated on the next
ballot.
The Senate was working under
heavy pressure at the time of the
Alabama's senator's collapse. The
night before, Bankhead had work
ed until 2 a. m. on the OPA ex-
tension bill. A month earlier he
had boosted to fellow senator's,
after speaking for four hours
against the Fair Employment
Practices act:

Born July 8, 1872 at Moscow,
Ala, a rural Lamar county COM
munity 40 miles from a railroad,
he shared his family's rising poll
teal fortunes. His father, John
H. Bankhead, was elected to Con-
gress in 1887.
Later, the elder Bankhead be-
came a U. S. Senator and Johns
brother, William B. Bankhead, be-
came speaker of the house. Walter
Will Bankhead, a son of John Hol-
lis, was chosen to serve out the
unexpired term of his uncle, the
speaker, who died in office, like
his father before him.
Tallulah Bankhead the actress,
is a daughter of the late speaker.
While ne sponsored much New
Deal farm legislation and once
termed the late President Roose-
welt 1.-THE best friend that farmers
ever had in the White House,"
Senator Bankhead often broke with
the administration on major issues.
He fought federal abolition of the
poll tax, filibustered against the
FEPC.
Bankhead, a brilliant scholar,
was graduated from the Univer-
sity of Alabama at the age of 10.
Four years later he was graduated
in law from Georgetown univer-
sity in Washington, where he was
president of his class.
Engaging in private law prac-
tice in Alabama, his only public
office before coming to the Senate
was as a member of the State legis-
lature, to which he was elected
in 1903.
