“The Enterprise Covers Every Nook and Cor ner of Coffee County and Then Some” JEWS OBSERVE NEW YEAR’S OS! ON LAST THURSDAY. LOCAL JEWISH PEOPLE CLOSED THEIR PLACES OF BUSINESS ON THIS DAY, WHICH BEGINS THE YEAR 5677. The local Jewish people made prep aration for the celebration of the an nual high holidays, the first of which is that of the new year, which fell on September 28. The holiday will con tinue until the Day of Atonement, which is October 7. New Year days is known as Rosh Hashanah and, al though it was September 28, the cele bration really began the evening be fore, September 27th. The more orthodox observed not only Thursday but Friday as well, it being their custom to keep a second day in connection with practically all the morel important Jewih holidays and festivals. This custom on their part! grew out of certain co)mplex conditions in the calendation of early rabbinical times and the practice, once established, has been kept up by them even through the original reacon no longer obtains. The reform Jews observe only the day Scripture prescribed. The date of Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the month of Tishri and the new year now to be ushered in is, according to the traditional Jewish calendar, the year 5677.

TWO NEW JUDGES OF COURT OF APPEALS "i iv..'' HON. W. FRANK JENKINS. Douglas Enterprise VOLUME XXVII, NUMBER 22 TURNS TURTLE 2 MILES OUT NARROW GUAGE FORD TURNS OVER AND OCCUPANTS ARE UNHURT. REPRESENTATIVE ELECT JOHN PAULK MEMBER OF PARTY. What came near being a very ser ious accident occured on last Monday morning about two miles north of Douglas, when a narrow guaged Ford tured turtle, and the occupants were all pulled out from under the car. The car was on its way to the Macon convention, leaving here about nine o’clock. It was driven by Col. R. J. Cornelius, and the other occu pants of the car were Representative elect John Paulk and J. M. Dent. A washout in the road caused the wreck. The driver was speeding along about 12 miles an hour but in some way the narrow guage did not work as well as a standard gauge would, and the washout gave the car a very quick turn which completely turned it turtle. The most miraculous part about it is that the occupants were not killed, but none received injuries except Mr. Paulk, whose foot was mashed. However the crowd was not dismay ed and were brought back to town where they hired a car from Mr. Hen ry Love and Mr. Lester Vickers drove them thru to Macon. LEO LEE. THE CHINAMAN, ROBBED SATURDAY NIGHT. Leo Lee, the chinaman who conducts a laundry in Douglas, was robbed on last Saturday night of $35. in money, and other valuables. Lee was on his w T ay to Macon and nearing the depot to take the night train when a negro jumped on him and proceeded to take off his person the money and other valuables. The negro escaped in the dark. This is the second time Lee has met with similar treatment. Evidently he is watched by these parties and way layed when an opportunity like this presents itself.

D. A. S. campus last Monday the Aggies triumphed over their op ponents to the time of 18 to 7. The game was hard fought and aside from some very unsportsman like conduct from some of the Fitzgerald players, such as kicking and slugging, was a good game. Had it not been for the bad fumbling of the Aggies they would have scored at least six touchdowns. A bad fumble from a punt gave the visitors their only score. Neither team scored until the 3rd quarter, when the visitors recoved a fumble from a punt near our goal line and ran across for a touchdown and kicked goal, the first score made. The Aggies picked up and scored one touchdown in the third quarter and two more in the 4th fail ing to kick goal each time. In the early part of the game Capt. Thurmond broke his arm while mak ing a tackle from kick-off. Griffin our spicey little quarter came out with a badly bruised knee and has not been able to be at practice this week.

George, of Vienna, Ros coe of Thomasville, and W. Frank Jenkins, of Eatonton, were de clared the nomin/ees for the three newly created seats on the state court of appeals, by the democratic state convention in session in Macon Tues day, the most spectacular feature of the jugdeship contest being the high pitch of enthusiasm which the Luke candidacy reached during the last few minutes of the convention. Delegates left their seats and cheer ed every mention of Luke’s name and he was speedily brought from sixth place in the running up to second place and nominated aolng with Geor ge and Jenkins. Three ballots were required to se lect the successful candidates for the court of appeals, the first being a more performetory recording of the ballots of the delegates as they had been instructed by their respective counties. Bloodworth led on the first ballot with 184 votes, George came second with 170 and Alexander Stevens ran third with 77 votes. The George tide rolled high and when tabulated, and the result announ ced, he was found to be elected with a convention vote of 219. On this ballot Jenkins gained 34 votes and Bloodworth, the leading candidate, lost 14, practically throwing him out of the running. Luke on the second bal lot, gained 14 votes, and Stephens lost 16, also eliminating him. Jenkins ran strong from the first county called on the third ballot, and when 100 counties had voted, his elec tion was assured. Luke ended the sec ond ballot lacking 30 votes of having the necessary 191. When the third ballot was taken, changes began to be made quick and fast, and before the end it was evident that Luke would reach the required number. He was nominated on this ballot. SACRED CONCERT.
