ALEX. BROWN FOREWORD OLLOWING a resurgence of interest in genealogy and Fmuch conversation in the family about collateral lines and allied families, my work was cut out for me when my grandson, the fifth Billington Sanders Walker asked for a history of the Walkers. Members of the family who had been collecting data for almost a lifetime put their material in my lap and gave me their blessings, pleased that the youngest of the loved and honored name was interested in its perpetuation. I accept the assignment with humility and a fervent desire to accomplish it worthily. My most difficult assignment, because it is a labor of love, will require much thoughtful planning and research, and were it not for the wholehearted cooperation of the Walkers, I should hesitate to undertake it. The youngest generation is my challenge for I am deeply impressed with the importance of placing in its hands the history of its forebears, in the hope that members of this young generation will be inspired to add luster and honor to the name. The problems of the early seventeenth century Walkers cannot be compared with those of this young generation be­ cause of the great difference in them. Who is wise enough to say which are the more difficult? The pioneers, facing the dangers, and uncertainties of carv­ ing new empires out of the wilderness of the newly colonized land, beset by attacks by Indians, and starvation, when crops failed, living in crudely constructed homes, with little or no medical attention in their illnesses did indeed require stout hearts and true bravery, and because of their strength and bravery, we, today, enjoy comforts, beauties and advantages for which they died. lX X FOREWORD Life in the Atomic Age is baffling and uncertain for its twentieth century generation. Decisions which vitally affect the future must be postponed indefinitely or at least delayed, for reasons of military protection for the country, for which the ascendants made such sacrifices. The youth of today is accepting this condition without complaining and is adjusting to sacrifices and delays with the same courage, and heroism displayed by its progenitors. Never say that this generation is soft or has lost any of the hardiness or initiative of the pioneer, as long as they carry on, high in the air, under the seas and in strange lands, among unfriendly people with so little understanding of our way of life. Youth, today, merits strong encouragement, true admira­ tion, and, a deep understanding of its problems. We, of an older generation shall fall short of the example set by our fathers if we fail to give this encouragement, ad0 miration and understanding to these fine young representa­ tives of the strain sired by our honored ancestors. _ MARIE STEVENS WALKER WOOD MERRIEWOODE Macon, Georgia September, 1956 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To MARY (WALKER) MCCRARY and To IRENE (WALKER) FIELD whose .contribution of family facts was invaluable, and whose un­ failing trust and enthusiasm was a constant source of inspiration.

PITTMAN: A HISTORICAL INQUIRY OF HIS LIFE, LEGACY AND LEADERSHIP by PAMELA FROST ALTMAN (Under the Direction of Meta Harris) ABSTRACT This dissertation is an inquiry into the educational leadership style of Marvin Summers Pittman, April 12, 1882 – February 27, 1954. Pittman was a transformational leader with a vision to set goals that sometimes appeared to be ‘outside the box’ during his time as an educational leader. Pittman introduced new and innovative programs in education, including his zone plan for teacher training, and theories for the consolidation of schools. Pittman understood that education was the tool needed to give power back to the people, and to enable them to be productive citizens. Education was Pittman’s tool to bring the poor farm boy from the cotton fields into the classroom.

Wells and To the twenty-five thousand Georgia girls who have entered the portals of the old Executive Mansion FOREWORD President and Mrs. Guy H. Wells have asked me to write the story of the one hundred years of the old Executive Mansion, and to no pleasanter task could thei writer devote herself. There are many in Georgia today whom she would like to summon to adorn the tale with incidents from memory or tradition. “The most im¬ portant history for any community is its own past, not that of far countries or ancient times,” says a Georgia historian, Dr. Merton Coulter. Many of us realize our debt to the future but forget that we owe a debt to the past. Our excuses for failure to write the history of Milledgeville, Georgia’s capital for more than sixty years, are like those in Arthur Ketchum’s poem “The Grieving Men”.

PREFACE There is a saying that the world progresses on the fee~ of little children. The writer thinks this saying is true. Children's active minds begin early to inquire into historical facts even, and when they meet indifference or ignorance on the part of their elders, they keep on asking until their minds are satisfied. It is because school children continually come and ask about the historic sites which have been marked in this county, that these history stories are presented to them. The stories began to develop in the long ago when the writer was President of The Federated Clubs of Baldwin. County, and with her club members would go twice a year, to every one·of the sixteen schools of the County, and present programs of song and literature and history.

Since the 3d edition of the Gazetteer of Georgia was published, in 1837, some forty new counties have been organized, making the whole number 132. True, since that date Rev. George White* has issued two statistical works; but as great changes have been made, a new edition of the Gazetteer is demanded. The census of 1859 has not been included, because it was not complete at first, as published by the Comptroller General, in the hope that the enumeration of 1860 would be out in time for this work. The papers will print it as early as pos sible, and when desired can be pasted upon the inside cover of this book. The Railroad routes, with the distances from place to place on the rude maps, will be a great convenience to travellers, and furnish all the information necessary in the cars.

  • Speed Camera and Red Light Programs
    PS COMMITTEE #1 September 13,2012 MEMORANDUM September 11,2012 TO: Public Safety Committee FROM: Susan J. Farag, Legislative Analyst ~ SUBJECT: Update Speed and Red Light Camera Programs Today the Public Safety (PS) Committee will receive an update on County's speed and red light camera programs. Those expected to brief the Committee: Captain Tom Didone, Police Department Bruce Meier, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) BACKGROUND The County Police Department currently operates two automated enforcement programs, including the Safe Speed Program and the Red Light Enforcement Program. The Red Light Enforcement Program has been in effect since 1997. The County has issued over 700,000 since its inception. The County implemented its Safe Speed Program in May 2007. The Maryland General Assembly authorized the use of automated speed enforcement systems in Montgomery County only, and required the County to report back to the General Assembly by January 2009 regarding the program's effectiveness. The law permitted the County to use automated enforcement in both school and residential zones where the maximum speed limit was 35 mph or less. When the program began, the Department had 18 mobile cameras located throughout the County. In 2009, there were 60 fixed and 59 mobile speed camera sites. Currently, there are 56 fixed pole sites, 20 portable units, and six mobile vans. The current contract provides the option of expanding this number with 10 additional portable units. In 2009 the General Assembly expanded the authority to use automated enforcement to the entire state, and expanded the use to include highway work zones. The 2009 law also increased the minimum speed violation from 10 mph to 12 mph over the posted speed limit.

In analyzing specific information about the receipts and disbursements of the state of Georgia as well as neighboring Southern states, more information can be divulged on how they handled the Great Depression. What is important about the topic is the situation that the states were currently facing during this time period, mirrors in some sense what the states are currently facing right in the present. With a wide and devastating economic downturn and the federal government literally stepping in to allocate funding and try to alleviate the burden on the economy, it plays similar to the Great Depression and The New Deal programs that allocated funding to the states to help the economy. The paper looks at the political structure of the state of Georgia, tax structures and other financial data to understand how Georgia dealt with problem, and areas in which they did not do so well.

Bishop Vice-President Trail of Tears Association, Georgia Chapter Under a joint partnership between The National Park Service and The John Ross House Association, Inc. Funded in part by The National Park Service Challenge Cost Share Program April 2007 2 JOHN ROSS HOUSE CCSP – BISHOP -- 2007 Acknowledgements This project was managed by the John Ross House Association, Inc. and its president, Larry Rose, whom I thank for allowing access to the John Ross House to conduct field research and for providing numerous helpful documents, such as the Ruskin correspondence and the scrapbooks of the John Ross House Association. Carey Tilley, the original historian on this project, laid the groundwork, defined the scope, and prepared the research questions. The University of West Florida’s Special Collections Department was especially helpful in providing access to the papers in the Panton, Leslie & Co. Collection. The state of Georgia’s GALILEO project was crucial in providing access and leads to numerous relevant historical documents. Likewise, Google and its associated websites, Google Books and Google Earth, are tremendous tools for the modern researcher and should be acknowledged. Dr. Georgina DeWeese of the University of West Georgia deserves special recognition for establishing a definitive date of construction for the John Ross House through dendrochronology. Dr. Sarah Hill provided information on Cantonment Wool and has been a staunch advocate and supporter in all my research-related endeavors, for which I am extremely grateful.
