John W. Davis Papers, Series VI: General File contains a variety of material and correspondence, reports, press releases,
and grants especially in the early years. The General File, as well as, Legislative, reflect the increasing sophistication
of Davis' filing system. In the years 1961 to 1968 (87th - 89th Congresses) General Correspondence-Subject Files includes
legislative correspondence. The 1969 and 1970 material is filed together, as was 1971 and 1972. However, 1973 and 1974 were
both filed separately (with the exception of the federal agencies and county files which were maintained together). Topics
include roads and interstates (I-75), water resource management (Carters Dam and Coosa River), Lockheed Corporation, rural
electrification, busing for integration and civil rights, county grants, housing, Medicare, and science and technology.

John W. Davis Papers, Series XI: Rivers, Harbors, and Watersheds files contain correspondence, clippings, news releases, and
Department of Agriculture reports on the federal watershed projects in the Seventh District. The file was maintained separately
in Davis' office and therefore was kept as a distinct series, although the file is small and somewhat similar to folders found
in Series VI. General File. The series is arranged alphabetically by name of project, then chronologically within each category.

Contents: |
Hardman was very active during his tenure in the Georgia House of Representatives and the State Senate. Co-authoring Georgia's
Prohibition bill and sponsoring the Conner Act, which established the Georgia College of Agriculture, are among as his primary
accomplishments. However, Hardman also introduced or sponsored other important legislative measures. He sponsored legislation
creating the State Board of Health, petitioned Congress to authorize a federal commission to conduct a drainage survey of
Georgia farmlands, and introduced a bill making rudimentary civic and agricultural education mandatory in Georgia public schools.
The files in this series contain correspondence relating to these and other legislative matters from Hardman's terms in the
House (1902-1906; 1909-1910) and State Senate (1907-1908). Papers from his last term in the House are not included. The series
is comprised of four subseries: correspondence, bills, speeches, and general information. Arrangement is chronological.

Lamartine G. Hardman was elected governor of Georgia in 1926 and again in 1928 (term 1927-1931). The Governor series consists
of correspondence and material pertaining to political appointments, bills, speeches, and miscellaneous information used by

government (a process completed under Hardman's successor, Richard B. Russell, Jr.), health care issues, education, and Governor
Hardman's interest in fingerprinting and phrenology. For additional information on Hardman's gubernatorial years, the researcher
