Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 49-NUMBER 39 A Voice in the Wilderness LITTLE FISH GET BIT The ENTERPRISE was notified in letter form, the plan for Reapportionment of the State of Georgia. The plan as presented would split Brantley County. The plan sent to this newspaper has been approved by the Committee for Reapport ionment of the House of Representatives and is scheduled to be brought before the General Assembly at the next session. Until a few years ago, Brantley County had as much voice in our State Government as any other county. When the County Unit System was abolished, Brantley lost much of it's voice and it has steadily deminished. After the County Unit System was lost, our representative also represented Pierce County and that was later changed to the present system. We are now represented by an elected official that must look out for the affairs of both Camden and Charlton Counties. When the people of our country grew tir ed of Taxation with-out Representation, with their governmental seat 4000 miles away, they rebelled and formed their own nation. They set up their own government that has stood until today. The states were formed in much the same manner and under the same princioals. Brantley County as many may remember, was formed primar ly because the people wanted government that would be closer and more responsive to their needs. For the people living in the eastern port ion of Brantley, could their problems be related to problems of the citizens of Jeff Davis County? Could a man elected as representative, whose home is in Douglas (Coffee County) be expected to know, understand and solve problems that will occur in Nahunta and Hoboken? Another interesting area that we may question is: Why are the preponderance of counties to be divided small, lightly pop- ulated and rural like Brantley and Long? What fish do the big fish gobble up first? FALL TERM of COURT UNDERWAY The September term of the Brantley County Superior Co urt began Monday, Sept. 13 with a full docket of cases to be heard. At press time, the Grand Jury had returned 12 true bills and one no bill.

Sister Davis Subscribe to the BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE ATCO FALLS TO HERONS 28-0 Atkinson County came to the Heron's field ranked number five in state class B football. They were greet ed by a tough defense and a sparkling offense that handed them a 28-0 set back. The Brantley County Herons were great in this moment of triumph. Larry Lane was one of the major factors in the Heron victory as he ran a touchdown, pass - ed for a touchdown, and made two interceptions. The entire team did a tr emendous job in their de feat of a good football team. The first quarter saw the two struggle on an even basis. Both were unable to generate an effective of fensive as the defensive unit of each team managed to prevfent any offensive drives. In the second qu arter the Herons gained the momentum through an in terception of a Rebel pass by Larry Lane. Rayford Blue made a long run to set up the first score. With 7:04 remaining on the clock in the second quarter, Paul Langford handed off to Robert Thomas who plowed three yards into the enzone to put the Herons out front 6-0. The PAT was unsu ccessful and the first half ended with this score. In the third quarter the Herons charged cownfield and from 12 yards out Paul Langford ran a beautifully executed Quarterback op tion and raced into the end - zone for the Heron's second touchdown. Paul then com - pie ted a pass to John Middleton for the PAT and raised the score to 14-0. In the final quarter the Heron offense continued to move. With 9:46 remaining in the game Larry Lane tossed a 25 yard pass to Archie Lee White in the endzone to make the score 20-0 and the PAT was blocked. The Heron defense got the ball back for the offense and Larry Lane made a 22 yard touchdown run with only 6:34 remaining in the game.
