Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-10

When the Atlanta Constitution arrived in
this city yesterday morning gread deal of
enthusiasm was aroused among our citizens by
an article which it contained placing Northen
on the list of New Counties favorably reported
by the House committee. But alas, later re-
ports would tend to show that our jubilation
was premature. What our people are anxious
to ascertain is what happened to that report
between the time the Constitution got it's inside
information and its presentation to the House.
The Senate committee has not yet submitted
its report and, as we have unquestionably one
Of the strongest propositions presented, we may
vet receive favorable consideration from that
body, though such an event is hardly probable.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-10

noon stated they believed that
the report of the committee of
the house would be adopted by
that body and that the counties
named would be favorably passed
upon by both houses at this ses-
sion.
No committees of the general
assembly have had as strenuous
a time as the two committees APP
pointed to consider the matter of
new counties, and several mem
of both committees expressed
themselves yesterday as being
greatly relieved upon learning
that report had been formulat-
ed and transmitted to the house.
The members of the house COM
mittee who have had the matter
in charge are Chairman Hall, An
derson, of Chatham; Steel. of
Carroll; Branch, of Brooks; Nc
Mu1lan, of Hart; Jackson, of Mus
cogee; Moore, of Cherokee;
Hayes, of Macon; Armand, Boy
kin and Matthews.
Members of the senate COM
mittee on new counties are
Chairman Wheatley, Bum, King,
Copelan, Hogan, Rose and Ben
nett.
The report of the committee
will doubtless be taken up by the
house as soon as the general tax
act has been disposed of.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-10

committees expressing the opin-
ion that it was best to create only
a portion of the eight, four or
five, and allow sentiment to crys-
talize upon the others between
this time and the meeting of the
general assembly next year.
1t seems on the other hand,
that public opinion is against this
proposition and in favor of all
eight of the new counties being
reported upon and acted upon at
the present session.
When> seen after the house
committee had made it's report,
Senator Wheatley, chairman OF
the senate committee on new
counties and county lines, stated
that it was his belief that the
committee would favor the report
of the house committee. He
stated that he did not know this
positively, but that from what
had transpired while the COM
mittees had been in informal
Joint sessions he believed the
senate com mittee would make a
favorable report to the upper
house on the eight counties NAM
ed in the report of the house
committee.

From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta constitution.
After five weeks of strenuous,
unremitting work a report has
been rendered to the house of
representatives by the committee
on new counties and county lines.
This report which was sub
mitted to the house by Chairman
Hall just at the close Of the ses-
sion yesterday afternoon, pro-
vides for the creation of all eight
of the new counties as follows:
Jenkins county, to be formed
from parts Of Burke, Bullock,
Screven and Emanuel with Mil1en
as the county sert.
Tiff county, to be formed from
parts of Berrien, Worth and r.
win, with Triton as the county
seat.
Turner county, to be formed
from parts of Worth, Dooly and
Irwin, with Ashburn as the coun-
ty seat.
Crisp to be formed from Dooly
county with Corde1e as the county
seat.
Stephens county (formerly
known as Bleckley) to be formed
from parts of Habersham and
Franklin, with Toccoa as the
county seat.
Toombs county, to be formed
from parts of Montgomery, and
Tattna11, with Lyons as the coun-
ty seat.
Jeff Davis county (formerly
known as Cromartie) to be form
ed from parts of Appling and
Coffee, with sHazlehurst as the
county seat.
Grady county, to be formed
from parts of Thomas and Deca-
tur, with Cairo as the county seat.
With the exception of one coun-
ty, Turner. these are the counties
named in the Constitution yester-
day as the counties which would
be favorably reported upon by
the committee.
It was determined by the COM
mittee yesterday that no county
created should bear the name of
man now living; hence the
change in the name of B1eckley to
Stephens and Cromartie to Jeff
Davis.
NO MINORITY REPORT.
It is understood that Mr.. Hall,
chairman of the committee, sta.
ted that the report of the COM
mittee was substantially unani-
nous. AS was expected there
was some opposition to some Of
the counties reported.
There will be no minority re-
port, which is further indication
that the report as made was sub
stantially unanimous.
1t is generally known that
there was some opposition to all
eight of the new counties being
reported or being acted upon at
