SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Vacancy in Board Filled. Additional
Teacher Has Been Named.
Ihe school board met in the
office of S. D. Ravenel last Tuesday
afternoon and transacted a good
deal of business looking towards
a good opening of the schools on
Monday, the 4th day of Septem
ber. There was a full board pres
ent.
Mr. G. M. Bulloch was unani
mously elected to fill the vacancy
on the board. Mr. Bulloch has
four childreu of school age, has
property in the city, and it is
freely asserted that the board
made a wise selection and that
Mr. Bulloch will make an excel
lent trustee.
Miss Annie Lou Bolton was
unanimously chosen as a teacher
to fill temporary positions in the
school g ade vacant from time to
time by a teacher being absent
through sickness or other cause.
Miss Bolton has just completed a
collegiate course at Gainesville
and the board was quite fortunate
in making this arrangement, as
the Superintendent has heretofore
suffered some inconvenience in
filling this place.
The matter of enlarging school
building and making other im
provements was referred to build
ing committee.

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines ?
From Sylvan Valley Newt, Brevrad, N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say
a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while
a physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by J. B
Byals – Co., druggists .1

Bear* the °ir
Signature
of
The Factory May Remain.
Since tlie fact was made kncwu
that ihe authorities of the
Manufacturing Company were
about to move the cotton factory,
business men of Cordele have been
trying to devise some plan to keep
this valuable plant from being
moved, either by buying the fac
tory or offering inducements to
the present, owners to let it remain
in Cordele. It is now proposed to
relieve the plant of all city tuxes
and furnish it with water at a
small cost. In order to legally
relieve it from taxation it will be
necessary to change the incorpora
tion line so as not to include the
property.
It is hoped that the present
owners of the plant will see it to
their advantage to accept this
proposition and allow the factory
to remain where it is.
MAJOR HANSON REPLIES.
Since writing the above, Major
J. F. Hanson has replied to the
above proposition and, among
other things, says: ‘‘Exemption
from city taxation would not
prov* an inducement for ns to
try and operate this system of
machinery at your place. When
this mill was built the city of
Cordele net only promised to ex
empt us from taxation, but prom
ised also to furnish us with wa
ter. He then states that the
ipill was put to $1,500 expense to
get water, had to pay the city $50
per month water rent and, after
a number of years, had to pay
taxes, thus costing the company
six or seven thousand dollars.
Major Hanson then adds: “In
view of this experience, even if we
were inclined to let the machinery
remain at Cordele as a considera
tion for exemption from taxation,
we would have no assurance that
city would abide its contract.”
He then states that no proposition
other than a refunding back taxes
and back water rent would be con
sidered.
MAJOR HANSON MISTAKEN.
It is not known what further
steps the committee will take, but
from a statement from the clerk
and treasurer of this city it ap
pears that Major Hanson is mista
ken; that $50 per month for water
was never paid, and that since
1897 only $10 per month has been
paid.
It appears from the city tax
books that no taxes were paid un
til 1895, and that then and since
only on half the capital. As to
the city having agreed to exempt
permanently from taxation and
not carrying out the agreement,
the following from the clerk and
treasurer shows that it was for
only five years, and that the city
did carry out her agreement:
\ “At council meeting July 8,1889;
present, Mayor G. M. McMillan,
and Aldermen Toole, Tommey,
Skinner and Smith, the following
resolution was adopted:
“Whereas, a charter has been
applied for incorporating J. the Han- Cor
dele M’f’g Co. by Maj. F.
son and others, and Cordele Guano
Co. by J. M. Green and others, to
be built at or near Cordele, Ga.
“Resolved, That said factories
shall be exempt from taxation for
the space of five years from date
by the city of Cordele; provided
the same are located within corpo
rate limits of Cordele, and in con
sideration of the fact that said
factories will sell its products to
merchants in Cordele as cheap as
to the foreign trade.”
August Flower.
“It is a surprising,” says Prof.
Houton, “ that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, I have met more people hav
ing used Green’s August Flower
than any other remedy, for dys
pepsia, deranged liver and stomach, find
and for constipation. I for
tourists and salesmen, or for persons
filling office positions, where head
aches and general bad feelings from
irregular habits exist, that Green’s
August Flower is a grand remedy.
It does not injure the system by
frequent use, and excellent for sour
stomachs and indigestion.” Sample
