   DAVID S. ATKINSON. In no profession is there a career more open to talent
than is that of the law, and in no field of endeavor is there demanded a more
careful preparation, a more thorough appreciation of the absolute ethic*s of
life or of the underlying principles which form the basis of all human rights
and privileges. Unflagging application and determination are the concomitants
which insure personal success. Possessing the requisite qualities of the lawyer,
is the young man whose name introduces this paragraph—Mr. David S. Atkinson.

   Mr. Atkinson was born in Camden county, Georgia, November 1, 1884, the son of
Dr. Dean Dunwody and Sarah Hardee (Scarlett) Atkinson, of Brunswick, Georgia.

   Mr. Atkinson received the advantages of a thorough education, his public
school training being supplemented by attendance in Gordon Institute at
Barnesville, the University of Georgia at Athens, and the law department of
Mercer University at Macon, from which last-named institution he was graduated
with the class of 1907. He then entered upon the practice of law in Camden
county and was, in 1909, appointed by Gov. J. M. Brown, judge of the city court
of St. Marys, Georgia. In October, 1908, he established himself in the practice
of law in Savannah.

   Mr. Atkinson has become actively associated with the various affairs of
Savannah. He was in 1913 appointed assistant city attorney of this city. He is a
lieutenant in the First Regiment of Infantry, National Guard of Georgia, and a
member of various clubs and societies. He is a past chancellor of the Knights of
Pythias, a Mason, an Odd Fellow, an Elk, and Eagle, and is secretary and
treasurer of the University Club of Savannah. Mr. Atkinson is unmarried.
