Atlanta July 22.

He warned he would challenge the bill’s constitutionality under the Bill of Rights if it became law. The opposition drew from Mrs. J. K. Ottley Atlanta club woman Mrs. W. A. Covington of Moultrie and Rev Marvin Williams of Grace Methodist Church. Also noted, Judge R. L. Maynard returned from Leesburg where he attended the City Court, and others in Atlanta social circles.
