Atlanta, Ga., Sept., 29, 1966.—At
torney General John r C. Hart was no
tified today that Jsftge John A. Par
dee of the United States Circuit
Court, has refused to interfere in the
case of Tom Fears, -of Butts County,
who appealed through the attorney
O. M. Duke, from a decision of the
state courts under which Fears was
sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000
spend twelve months on the chain

Hots Cast In Times-Enterprise Contest,
Vashti Rome Ahead In Thomasviile-Who
Will Get the Library and Piano.
The biggest contest that , the
Tlmes-Enterprise has ever held, I*
what the voting of the first few days
Indicates. Below la found the stand
ing of the contestants. The contest
ha* been In progress only a little
while, but already more than 5000
votes have been cast. Thl* la itself
a good start. But this dons not
mean that all those who have paid
on subscription during the last week,
have voted. A number have paid
their subscriptions, and have received
coupon* entitling them to vote at any
time betwween now and the Satur
day before Christmas. It is not neo
essary to vote at the time the money
is paid. This “holding" of votes Is
practiced by some people, and that
la always a factor at the end of every
contest
The management Is much grati
fied at the Interest the readers of the
paper are displaying In this contest.
It Is quite the topic of conversation
In the town and county, and there
will be as much Interest In this re
port as Is that of the general elec
tion.
The leader In the contest for the
piano Is the Vashti Home. This la
the lastftutioa that Is doing such a
good work In training girls to' lives
of usefulness. The friends of the
home In Thonmsville are anmereua,
and they seem determined that the [
Rudolf piano shall be presented to
It. Second In the race comes the Y.
M. C. A. This also Is very popular
with the young people of the city
who recognize what a great thing It
Is for the young men to have an In
stitution of this kind. A piano Is In
constant use there, and the one they
now have has seen Its best days. The
third factor in the race are the Elks.
This Is one of tho most popular se
cret orders In the city with a member-
thlp of more thorn 160. Many of
them have been beard to declare
that the piano ahall have no other
resting place than the parlors of the
elnb house on Jackson street. Close
behind the Elks came the 0811 Fel
lows, who have the largest and most
enthusiastic membership of any
lodge Is town, and who thin!; -east
opening odes, and closing -songs
wonld sound well when played on a
Rudolf.
Those sterling stand-bys -of the
fraternal world, the Haaont and the
Knights of Pythias axe also candi
dates for the prize.
Here Is the detailed standing
advance the cause of education in
any section it may find a home.
This contest la Just starting, but
Peterson went to North Carolina on
a visit. Her husband found that
she had marrler while there. He
entered suit for a divorce and dis
covered that his wife had had a hus
band eren before she had married
h|m, He bad no trouble getting his
■marriage annulled aa the woman had
no legal right to marry him with a
husband living, and no more right to
attach herself to another husband
than she had to take on Peterson.
,The one Jury ground out several
divorce cases at one sitting, but once
thtirp was a balk when Judge Cann
told : the Jury that duress had not

Is already spirited, and shows the [j>eeu ehown, as one of the plaintiffs
deep Interest that the people of the
county feel In educational mattei
It Is attracting attention In town too,'
Of course subscribers may rote in
either contest they wish.
The leading candidate this week is
the school at Metcalfe, of which W.
H. Searcy, one of the county's best
known educotors is principal. Sec
ond comes the school at the flourish
ing, city of Ochlockone, and only a
few' totes behind Is the school at
Boston. The pride which the town
of Meigs feels In Its graded school la
shown by a substantial vote, and Pa-
vo is alio In the running.
The figures to date are as follows:
Metcalfe BOO
Ochlockonee 875
Boston 300
Meigs 200
Pavo '..180
There are a number of other
schools In the county, and these too
will be heard from within a short
time. Keep your eye on both cop-
testa. They will be worth watch

dially received by the people of both
town and county, and many expres
sions of pleasure have been heard,
as to the liberality of the manage
ment In offering such splendid
prizes.
