UPT.-ELECT MOORE

Rev. E. T. Moore, county school
superintendent-elect, returned to-
day from Athens, where he attended
the meeting of the County School
Officials assodiabidn. The assc-
citation was in session during sever
al days, and Mr.. Moore states much
useful work was accomplished. One
of the best talks made before the
assembled educators at the Univer-
sity there was that Col. ]. E. D.

panied Mr.. Moore to Athens, going
as a representative of the Sumter

chairman. The state association
honored Col. Ship by election as

FOUR YEAR TERM
BILL REPORTED

ATLANTA, July lin one
Of the most heated committee scs-
sions of the present session of the
Georgia legislature to date, the
house committee on constitutional
amendments Thursday afternoon re
ported favorably the house resolu-
ton of Representative Lee Langley,
of Floyd, providing four-year terms
for the governor and other state
house officers. The final vote i'll
approval of the resolution was 8 to
IS.
The committee also heard advo-
Gates of an amendment which would
allow counties and cities of the state
where the county population is
above a certain figure, to amalga-
mate the city and county govern
ments if they desired. This meas
ure was introduced by Representa-
tive Ben Fowler, of Bibb, on be-
half of Bibb county and the city
of Macon. Speaker w. Cecil NELL,
who represents Muscogee county, is
sponsoring a similar bill, on behalf
of that county and the city of CO.
lumbus. After some debate, the
committee voted to empower the
chairman to name subcommittee
to draft a bill which would incor-
porate the desired features. The
chairman stated he would appoint
this subcommittee later.
The resolution of Representative
Langley, one of the most important
questions before the assembly this
year, was considered after motion
to reduce the quorum of the com
mittee from Is to II had carried
by 9 to 6. Representative Langley
spoke vigorously on behalf of hi
plan and argued that it would bene
fit the state by reducing the num-
Der of political campaigns and by
Igiving the governor and other Of
ficers terms of sufficient length to
carry out the policies upon which
they were elected, without having
