DR.. G. Carmichael
Likely Successor
To DR.. Miller In
Afro Hospital

YAZOO CITY, Miss, March 12-
Dr.. George A. Carmichael, widely
known and successful physician of
Canton, Mississippi, is being promi-
nently mentioned in we'll informed
circles here as the most likely sue
cessor to the late DR.. l.. T. Miller
as Medical Director of the Afro
American Sons and Daughters, and
chief surgeon of the Afro Hospital
here
For the past two years DR.. Car
michael has been closely associated
with DR.. Miller in the surgical de-
partment of the hospital who had
q high RECORD for his knowledge,
ability and skill.
While it was pointed out that
Dr.. R. E. Fullilove has long been
associated with DIR. Miller in the
work of the hospital it was the
general belief that he would not be
willing, because of his advanced
age, to assume the heavy response
bility but would remain to help a
younger man in the direction of the
work.
