Col. B. A. Enloe, Chairman of

and his death occasioned no sur

The deceased was one of the
great leaders in the State and
for a half century had been one
of its foremost and most dis
tinguished citizens. He was in
the Legislature In the early 70's,
and later served the 9Th District
in Congress. On two occasions,
when United Safe Senator'S were
elected by joint ballot ofthe SEN
ate and House of Representatives
he came within one vote Of an
election. On the stump and hus-
tings and in the forum no ADLER
or convincing speaker has lived
in the State. Thoroughly familiar
with the subjecturder discussion,
and bold and fearless in advocat-
ing any cause; his wonderful vo-
cabulary and ready witand burn
ing sarcasm made him feared by
all in debate, No stain ever fell
on his nublic career or private
