is a trustee of the Lucy Cobb Institute, and of the Thornwell Orphanage. He is
trustee and secretary of Nacoochee Institute, and co-laborer in Rabun Gap
Industrial School, president of the Hodgson-Comer Go., director of the Athens
Railway and Electric Co., vice-president and director of the Southern

stores. He has been a member of the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues
of Clarke County with the exception of about three years since its organization.
During his service as such commissioner, Clarke County Court House, all of the
permanent roads and bridges of the county, including Mitchell's Bridge, have
been constructed.
