The first regular meeting OF the
Ordway Chamber of Commerce was
held In the Opera House Wednesday
evening OF this week. The attendance
was good, several ladies being present.
Matters Of Importance were discussed
and several other new names added to
the membership roll. Plans for a
Chamber Of Commerce building to
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
were brought before the association
by President Greene. Stock has al.
ready been subscribed In the amount
of 81, 100. There will be no difficulty
In raising the balance of the 1850 re.
qulred to finance the proposition.
The New Era has refrained from maxi
ing mention of this matter before by
request Of the board of directors. 1t
was thought best to wait until q
sufficient amount Of the stock had
been subscribed to insure its success.
An option on two lots In block 40,
opposite the Hotel Berendo, has been
secured and within a week it Is
thought the balance of the stock will
be signed for.
The plans for the building are not
completed. but will probably be simi-
lar to those outlined by President
Greene. The building will be 4ox80
feet, two stories, constructed Of Mil
waukce brick. Ten feet will be left
on the south OF the building for a ce-
ment walk and lawn. The lower floor
will be arranged to accommodate two
stores, two offices and q rest room

DECATUR COUNTY PLANS
DIRECT LEGISLATION

BAINBRIDGE, Ga, Feb. s5.-Direct
legislation and recall. the substance of
a bill introduced by Barrie Wright at
the last session OF the legislature is
sweeping Decatur county like a cyclone.
The county primary is to come off on
the 25th of March. and in a majority
of the cases all of the candidates that
have announced themselves for office
have stated in their cards that they stood
for the Wright bill, and urging this as
a reason why they should be elected.
IL is not only the candidates that are
running for the legislature that have an
nounced themselves for this principle,
but justices of the peace. sheriffs, clerk
of superior court, and even the constable
have pledged themselves for direct leg
islation and recall. Its popularity is
due to the personality of Capt. r. L.
Hicks, who began the agitation several
months ago by sending out cards at his
own expense explaining the meaning and
asking pledges for its support.
At first little was thought of il. but as
time passed IL has gathered strength,
and now those officers who had an
nounced without declaring specifically
on this platform have had to put in ad-
ditional announcements explaining that
they are for direct legislation and re-
cali" Those people who were inclined to
treat il as a Joke at first have now
changed their minds and are looking on
the situation seriously.

CENSUS TAKERS ARE
FEW IN SIXTH DISTRICT

MACON. Ga, Feb. 25.-There is
shortage OF census enumerators in the
Sixth congressional district, particularly
i'm Henry Jones and Bib counties, ana
the fact is causing the officials both here
and in Washington some uneasiness. BY
order of the government, $50 enumerators
will be employed in the ten counties or
the district However, only 175 have
passed the examination. out of total Of
SIS who applied for positions.
Supervisor Burns may be allowed to ap-
point men whom he personally knows
to be capable, or 10 hold special examin-
atoms of later applicants, in order 10
relieve the situation. Otherwise. the TAX
ing of the census in Macon. and in this
entire district. will be retarded
II is stated that the failure of the rural
postmasters to properly conduct the ex-
aminations. Swing TO lack of instructions
from the government, had much TO do
with many applicants not passing the
test II was also found that there was
a marked scarcity of negroes in the rural
districts who were competent to take
the census.

population of S,929s14. The expense to the
government was s44.3T7. There were but
IL states in the union at the time, but the
census OF Rhode Island and Vermont,
which came in later, was also taken.
In the taking of the first census very
little more than the number of people
were enumerated. Later the scope was
widened. and in 1850 the subjects of In
quiry included mines. manufactures and
agriculture. The scope has widened each
census. and so extensive was the llth
census, taken in 1890. that IL was not pub
lished until seven years after II was be-
gun.
Criticism of this delay led congress to
stipulate that the four principal reports
of the 18th census. taken in 1900. must be
published by July 1. 1902. At the same
time the bureau was given a building Of
it's own, thus simplifying the work of ad-
ministration.
For enumeration purposes the country
is divided into districts, each OF which
has a supervisor. There were about 500
of these districts in 1900. Under the d.
rection of the district supervisors were
81 600 enumerators. who went from house
TO house seeking information, which they
recorded I'm their portfolios.
