November 3rd! That's the day
YOU and YOU and YOU are sup=
posed to be at your Voting place
and vote for the President of the
United States. You cannot take
this matter lightly! It is every
man and woman’s responsibility
to vote their convictions, and then
forever hold their piece, If youdo
not cast your vote, then just be
quiet about who is elected. After
all is said and done, you may vote
one way, we may vote another....
but had you thought of it this way?
Whoever is elected is just as
much your president as he is ours
or ours just as much as he is
yours.
Let us go to the polls and vote!
That is the important thing. There

some few Republicans also who
will vote the Democratic ticket.
We, personally, have always been
a Democrats We voted once dur=

This proposal provides the
procedure which must be followed
relative to the consolidation,
merger, divisionor dissolution of
counties. There aretwo methods
of accomplishing either of the
above purposes: (1) The General

ered to consolidate, merge, div
ide or merge counties or portions
of counties with other counties.
(2) A petition may be filled with
the ordinary of a county signed by
not less than 207 of the qualified

ision. The ordinary must then
transmit a certified copy of the

other affected county. Eachsuch
ordinary must thenpublish a copy
of the petition in the official or=
gan of his county. If a similar
petition is filed with the latter
ordinary or ordinaries within two
years after publication, the or
dinaries of all affected counties

the Governor to call an election
. to be held the same day in each
affected county which day shall
. be not less than 30 nor more than
60 days after the filing of the last
~ petitions If a majority of the

dation, merger or division, the
- same shall become effective not
later than two years following
the date of the election. Noelec~
‘tion held persuant to the call of
the Governor, however, chall be
effective unless 517% of the re=-

The Constitution presently
provides for a homestead ex

This proposal amends the pro
vision of the Constitution creating
the Vidalia Development Author=-
ity, It authorizesthe Authorityto
extend its operation into Mont

tenants and lessees of the Author=
ity the same exemption from

as a general amendment for the
latter reason,
