individual who recruited them
into the Army.
They return to their

30-day period while enroute to
their first permanent duty
station. More than four
hundred soldiers participate in

Commissioner
Tiller Cast
Deciding Vote
Commissioner Tiller cast the
deciding vote last Tuesday to
team up with two of his old
political cronies, Mclntyre and
Neal. Mclntyre in his
nominating speech handed out a
dish of pious platitude,
“Because of serving as
commission chairman for two
years, I know what it takes to
be chairman, I know the
his tory of the commission and
its chairmen.” Newly-elected
commissioners should have
ample time to observe the
inner workings of county
government before attempting
to chair die commission, he
said.
“I recommend we nominate
a commissioner who has
worked hard and knows the
county government,” Mclntyre
added and nominated Tiller for
the post. After the three votes
were cast for Tiller, Mclntyre
recommenced the Commission
vote to let the minutes reflect
that Tiller had been elected by
acclamation, but Mrs. Scott
and Barnes refused to vote on
the former chairman’s motion.
After this subtle maneuver,
Mclntyre gave his lame-duck
state of the county report.
Newly elected Commissioner
Barbara Scott nominated
Travis Barnes for chairman, but
no vote was taken after Tiller
received the three needed
votes.
After he completes his tour of
duty as a Recruiter Aide, he
will be assigned to Ft. Gordon.
