FOURTH CITY IN STATE

Ensley January 11.-(Special. )-By a vote of nearly three to one the city of Wylam became a part of Ensley and makes Greater Ensley an assured fact This will give the greater city popu- lation of nearly 25,0OO and makes 1t the fourth city in the state. While the vote today was light the. interest manifested was intense and though the opposition made vigorous fight the advocates of the greater city won out by the decisive vote of 106 to 46.
 Nothing now remains but for the city council of Wylam to canvass the vote and the mayor of each town to issue a proclamation and the annexation will be effected.
 The Greater Ensley scheme was first advocated by the Commercial club, but election Mayor Sugg and his forces ad- vocated the greater city and won out on every proposition down to the election today. Mayor Sugg, Aldermen McDow- ell, Byrum, Brigman and Culpepper; w. R. Stewart, president of the Ensley Com
 
 cause in Ensley. while Mayor John E. Nolan, Joseph Martin, w. A. Spencer, N. B. Stack, Adam Pow, W. J. Stacey, Dr. Revier, W. w. Wilson, Will Miller, s. w. Glasgow, Chief of Police Eubanks and others were the principal workers in Wylam.
 The consultation of the two. cities, if is claimed, is of great advantage to them both and while the. result was foregone conclusion, the fact that it car ried so overwhelmingly caused much sat isfaction. The Commercial club will give a Greater Ensley smoker in a few days at which all the citizens are invited and the hope is expressed that all past diff ferences will be forgotten and all work for the peace, prosperity and upbuilding of the greatest steel center in the south.
