COON COUNTY
LOSES OUT
BILL WILL BE RECONSIDERED
BUT WILL HARDLY PASS AT
THIS SESSION OF THE LEGIS
LATURE.
\
The bill featured by the Representa
ive Knight of Berrien, creating the
ew county of Cook, failed to pass the
louse Tuesday by eleven votes. A
.vo-thirds vote of the membership
necessary in the case of such con
itutional amendments. The vote was
for the county, 52 against it, with
i members absent.
Representative Knight gave notice
of a motion to reconsider, which will
come up Wednesday. He stated that
he believed that, with a larger attend
ance, the bill would pass.
Cook County, as proposed, is made
up of the western half of Berrien
county, which, as it stands now, is
nearly as large as the state of Rhode
Island and is one of Georgia’s largest
counties. Adel is to be the county
site.
The proposed county' is named in
honor of the late Phil Cook, hero of
the Civil and Indian wars, former
secretary of state and father of Phil
Cook, the present secretary of state.
PETERSON AND RELIHAN’S
BIG ANNUAL SALE
W’e call special attention to Peter
son and Relihan’s announcement of
their annual clearance sale. This sale
always attracts a great deal of atten
tion, in view of the fact that they
make unusal low prices on high class
merchandise. No cleaner or better
stock of Gents Furnishings and shoes
can be found in Georgia. Store will
be closed Thursday, In preparation
for sale, sale starts promply at 9:00
o’clock Friday 21st. The fact that
this concern never puts on a fake sale
makes their annual clearance sales
more attractive, to people that know
and appreciate honest merchandise
at reasonable prices.

OR. WEATHERS
IS CANDIDATE
The legislative race seems to have
opened up, at least there comes for
ward a man who says that, so far as
he knows, he will be in the race. This
gntleman hails from Ambrose in the
person of Dr. A. H. Weathers, who
is president of the local hank there.
We presume he will have his official
announement later, but sends us this
as a beginner:
“You may say for me in this week’s
issue of your paper that so far as I
know I will be in the race for repre
sentative by urgent request of friends.

BROWN QUITS; ILLS ELECTED;
NO IRE HEADQUARTERS HERE
As predicted in The Enterprise last
week, the expected has happened, at
least most of it. We refer to the
meeting of the Farmers’ Union in
Macon this week, Wednesday and
Thursday.
Hon. J. J. Brown resigned os pres
ident of the Georgia Division and J.
H. Mills, the present secretary, was
elected president of the organization
to succeed Mr. Brown. This much
)we were adsolutely correct about.
A. J. Fleming, of Jenkinsburg, was
elected secretary and treasurer. This
moves the union from Douglas, that
Ji», th secretary will not move heie
■but will conduct the business from
Jenkinsburg, as it has been for the
past few months. So we were about
right on this, although nothing was
done in reference to a vote on moving
the headquarters, still the headquar
jters of a con cern is usually located
/whre its secretary resides, and in this
[instance, it will not be in Dougla. Mr.
I Fleming is a school teacher and a very
[fine gentleman. W’e happen to know
| him and know further that he could
jnot afford to move here for the salary
the secretaryship pays, as he gets
a good salary as teacher now. So
thre you have it.
The union also voted at this meeting
fto suspend the Gilmer county union
[for sixty days for circulating alleged
,false reports about J. J. Brown. At
the expiration of that time, if satis
factory amends have not been made,
; th Gilmer county charter is to be re
voked.
j Mr. Brown seems to have the un
divided support of the union. They
; are back of him in every instance, and
;he retires as their president, carrying
• with him their esteem and confidence,
j Messrs. Melvin Tanner and J. R.
Overman attended the convention
[from this city. Mr. Overman was
I succeeded as chairman of the execu
tive committee by Hon. Thos. G. Hud
json, who is a candidate for congress
i in the Third.
j) Just when the desk and typewriter
I will be packed up and moved from
SI.OO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Douglas, no one is advised, but we
'don’t believe that the headquarters
here will ever be operatd again as
“headquarters,” at least for the Ga.
Devision of the Farmers’ Union. We
wish them God speed.
Later: We are advised that the
typewriter has been taken away some
weks ago.
