   WILLIAM S. MANN, practicing attorney of McRae and senator from the Fifteenth
Senatorial District, is readily conceded to be one of the most rapidly rising
young professional men in Telfair county. Not yet four years in the professional
world, he has in that brief time accomplished what it has taken other men many
years of effort to attain, and those accomplishments give rich promise of the
possibilities of his future career.

   Born in Berrien county, in 1884, Mr. Mann is the son of Frank R. and
Henrietta (Sykes) Mann. The father, a prominent turpentine operator and
lumberman, who also conducted a naval store's supply house and did some farming,
still lives in Berrien county, although his wife is deceased. She was a native
of Montgomery county, and her husband of Tattnall county. When William S. Mann
was an infant the family removed to Telfair county, and there he was reared and
educated. He attended the common schools and later entered the University of
Georgia at Athens, pursuing a literary course. He concluded his studies there
with a course in law and in 1908 was graduated, receiving his degree. He
immediately began the practice of his profession in McRae, and such progress did
he make in his labors and so well did he impress the public with his ability and
progressiveness that in 1910 he was nominated for the office of senator from the
Fifteenth Senatorial District, comprising the counties of Telfair, Montgomery,
Dodge, Ben Hill and Irwin, and his election duly followed. He is now discharging
the duties of that position, and his labors thus far in behalf of his
constituents have been all that could be desired.

   On August 15, 1909, Mr. Mann was united in marriage with Miss Floris J.
Perkins, daughter of J. AV. Perkins, one time operator in turpentine in Georgia.
Both parents are now deceased. They were former residents of St. Louis,
Missouri, and there Mrs. Mann was born. One son, William S., Jr., was born to
them on July 14, 1910.

   The family affiliates with the Episcopalian church, of which Mrs. .Mann is a
member. Mr. Mann is a member of the Knights of Pythias. A sister of Mr. Mann,
Aleph, is married to Oscar B. Burch and resides in Jackson, Georgia, while a
brother, Frank R., Jr., is a physician and surgeon of Lumber City, Georgia
