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.

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.

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. Dr. A. H. Weathers, Ambrose, Ga.” Candidate For Congress t« U.. . v i,* £ Vf‘ V 1 ■_ t - * JUDGE WILLIAM E. THOMAS One of the four congressional candidates of the Eleventh Congression al District 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. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
