Sentinel d Farmers, Here’s a (Jure Tor Rust, A Bibb county farmer tells of a sure way to cure rust. This is his suggestion in correcting land: “Green cotton seed and peavines make about the best fertilizers that we can get in this country. Peavines plowed under will pre vent rust on the land.” he says. “Several years ago I was manag ing one of Col. Henry Lamar’s plantations for him. We had some very strong hammock land on an island in the river. It was in the habit of rusting everything that grew on it. We planted it in wheat one fall, and the next spring I planted it in peas. It made the finest peas I ever saw. I turned them under with big two-horse plows just about the time thepeas were filling out. We never had any more trouble with rust. The next season I made more than a bale of cotton to the acre, and never did we again hear of rust.” Farmers’ Excursion to Savannah.

GA., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1899. THE SCHOOL BOARD TALKS. It is Not The Board’s Intention to “Sell Out" the Eights of the People To the eitizent of CordeU: Feeling it the duty of the school board to advise the public as to the status of affairs in connection with the rebuilding of the school bouse since the Hornet has, by its remarks, “Don’t Auction Off the School Building,” publicly inti mated that it is the desire of the board to locate the new school house on a site that would be se cured by the highest bidder, there by thwarting the will of the citi zens signing a petition requesting the the choice of a site by popular vote, we wish tostate that there are now only a few dollars in the school treasury available as a building fund and the board some time back made requisition on the city for $5,000 to rebuild a school house with request that prompt consideration be given the matter and reported as early as possible to the board. As yet the school board has not been advised by city council that necessary funds are available to start th9 new building, and as soon as the board is advised of this fact, we can assure the citi zens that some immediate action will be taken toward providing a new and suitable school house. Provide funds first and then the matter of location will speedily follow. We have not in any meet ing officially discussed the site for a school building, as the city now owns a school site, and the change of location would only be made in case of material advantage revert ing to the citizens and tax-payers of the city. We will state that the petition of citizens requesting the choice of location by popular vote was lengthily and respectfully discus sed, and members of the board deemed it the best interest of the city not to call an election for this purpose, whereby possibly our city might again be disgracefully advertised by bitter and unfriend ly contests, and possibly engender much bad feeling among now ex esting friends.

THB SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. The School Board meeting at the office of Dr. H. B. Roberts last Monday afternoon and evening, while perfectly harmonious, was nevertheless full of earnest dis cussion both by the members and by outside citizens. The board transacted some routine business, It accepted the resignation as a member, of Presi dent Jno. E. Howell, expressing regrets that he resigned and thanks for the able manner in which he presided and performed his duties while a member of the board. Vice-President H. B. Roberts was then unanimously elected to the presidency, and Mr. R. L. Wilson to the vice-presidency. Some matters of more or less importance with reference to tem porary quarters for opening school next Monday were discussed and disposed ot. The main question before the board which was discussed more or less all the while during the two hours afternoon and three hours night sessions and upon which but slow progress, to say the least, was made, was that of a new school building. The board had voted that a new one should be built rather than undertake to repair the old, ivhen Mr. A. J. Comer presented the board with a petition containing the names of 104 citizens asking that location of a site for the building be left to a vote of the white peo ple of Cordele. This petition was not to be lightly considered and the merits and demerits of a vote by the people was eloquently dis cussed by logical speakers both from the members of the board and visiting citizens. By a vote of 4 to 1 the petition was tabled. The one who voted for the peti tion, did so because he could not conscientiously over-ride the re quest of 104 citizens. The four who voted against the petition or in favor of tabling it did so for many stated reasons. They thought the board should assume the duty of locating the building, should avoid the bitter feeling liable to be engendered in a hot fight at the polls, to steer clear of politics iu the school, to avoid the delay and expense incident to an election, etc. Messrs. B. B. Pound and J. C. Tracy were present with a sealed business proposition to locate the building on block 86, which is on the west side of the G. S. <fc P. railroad, the present location be ing on the east side. In present ing their proposition Messrs. Pound and Tracy, both for selves and parties they represented, ex pressed their confidence in the ultimate decision of the board and stated they would be satisfied at whatever the board decided upon. The proposition has been kept quiet by the board, and, without further action, the board ad journed until a future meeting. A Wortl to Mothers.
