by Mitchell’s Resolution
After Lengthy Discussion
Demosthenian Literary Society
| voted 54 to 40 against impeachment
of George Doss. Canton, president,
ill till' Wednesday night meeting.
The vote followed three hours of de
liberation, debate, and parliamentary
dispute.
A group of 10 Demosthenians, led
by Bobby Mitchell, Muselln, pre-
I sented a written resolution asking
for impaechment of President Doss
at the Jan. 22 meeting. The reso-
j hit ion ohurged Doss with not uphold-
j ing his oath of office and ruling a
j member out of order after recogniz
ing said member.
The defendant maintained that the
charges against him were unfounded
will | in that the introduction of a motlbn
when a prior motion was already on
the floor for’ consideration was out
of order. Doss further asserted that
the insistence of Mitchell that the
second motion was “superseding” or
"amending” to the prior motion was
not Justified by parliamentary pro
cedure, and thus his ruling Mitchell
out of order was therefore manda
tory.
180 Attend Meeting
Preston Hill, Atlanta, vice-presi
dent, called the meeting to order
with approximately ISO members
and candidates for membership pres
ent. As Hill started to administer the
oath of membership to the new men,
there was some discussion about
their eligibility. A motion was made
not to admit any new members un
til the next meeting. A call for the
roll of eligible voters was made be
fore a vote was taken. About 110
men were qualified to vote. The mo
tion was then passed by a vote of
75 to S.
Frank Hamilton, parliamentarian,
called for an executive session, ask
ing that all visitors and non-quali-
fied voters leave the Hall. A few
men rose and asked the society’s
permission to remain as visitors.
This was allowed.
Jimmy Hammond. Atlanta, solici
tor-general, secured the floor and
started to present evidence of the
Impeachment charges. An objection
was made to this, but Frank Ham
ilton. Atlanta, parliamentarian, ruled
Hammond within his rights. An ap
peal to this decision was made and
the society overruled, forcing Ham
mond to yield the floor.
Trial Is Held
A vote to decide whether to hold
the trial or not was taken, the so
ciety voting 53 to 49 in favor of a
trial. George Anderson, Rome, chief-
justice, took over the chair for the
trial. Hammond read the Impeach
ment charges and rested his case.
Jimmy Moore, Hagan, council for
defense, called the defendant aB his
only witness.
Acting upon a motion by Hamil
ton, the society gave Doss a rising
vote of confidence after he took the
chair.
