Secretary Dorris then read an interesting letter from Mr. Guy ler Smith, of Atlanta, in refer ence to a cottou factory for Cor dele. The following is a copy of the letter: W. H. Dorris, Esq., Cordele, Ga. Dear Sir.—Your letter of the 4th inst., received. I am just on the eve of departing to Lawrence ville, Ga., to organize a company to build a cotton factory at that place. It is impossible, owing to the lack of time, at my disposal this morning, to make you any proposition that will be suffi ciently complete for you to lay before i the board on Tuesday, though would be glad to do so if I had the time today. However, you may state to the members of the board, unofficially, that I can do this for them: Organize a company locally,get all the money we can subscribed in the district, which is the best plan for all con cerned, and then I can arrange to get the balance needed to build the mill from other sources which are in my hands for investments of this character. It is not at all difficult just now to get sufficient money subscribed to build a mill, but in order to do this the people of the place that desire the mill to be located there, must take stock to some extent. I do not seek any tax exemptions, but or spec- only ial privileges of this sort, good locations and progressive and men to put in they- money show their interest in the enter prise. 4 North who I have clients are seeking sites to move their mills to, and will see to this later with you if it is possible to direct them to Cordele. Speak of this matter to the gentlemen of the board on Tuesday, and look into the chanches of getting money locally for a mill, write me fully, the let ter to get here on Friday morn- do ing next. We may be able to something together. Smith. Cdyler The secretary was requested him to write Mr. Smith and request to be present at the next regular meetiug of the Board of Trade. The question of opening up Cor- one or two new dirt roads into dele, and especially the urged ne cessity of one leading north from Cordele, and east of the G. S. – F. railroad into the B. A. Wood set tlement, was earnestly discussed. A special committee of five was appointed to look into the matter, and to take some steps towards getting the roads. Outside of some routine business these were the main points under considera tion at Tuesday afternoon’s ses sion. The different committes are at work on the extention of the Waycross Air Line railroad, the increased rates on cotton to the Carolina mills, and the gov ernment building. tor the The evident necessity Board of Trade has been demon strated, and Cordele is at once feeling the benefits to be derived from this organized body of busi ness men. If the freight mills rates on cotten to the Carolina are reduced, the farmers will feel the direct good done for them. About forty are now members of this organization, and at least one hundred are wanted to join. The regular meeting will be held at the city council chamber next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The Cordele Sentinel, ACCEPTED THE PLANS. The New School Building Will be Started in Next Pew Bays. The Special Committee on Building to get Bide on Work With Least Possible Delay, The committee appointed by the Board of Trustees to select suita ble plans and specifications for a new school building appeared be fore the full board, in called ses sion, last Monday night, and made their report. All the mem bers of the board were present and discussed at some length the report submitted, and by a unani mous vote approved the report and instructed the committee to proceed to perfect the plans and specifications in every detail, and at the earliest moment practica ble obtain estimates and receive bids for the building, and let the work begin. The building is to be two stories high with four large class rooms on the lower floor, and four on the upper floor. The building will be sixty by seventy feet, sliding and folding doors will be so arranged that three large rooms can be thrown into one forming an auditorium seventy feet long one way and forty feet long the other, with seating capacity of from four to five hundred people. It is pro posed also to have the stage so ar ranged and the floor so planned that the audience directly in front of the stage will not obstruct the view of those seated behind them, but the floor in every direction will be so elevated that it will be very easy for everybody in the au dience to get full view of the stage. Still another great convenience being figured on, and which is al most a certainty, is the method of heating the building. It is pro prosed to heat the entire building by steam and hot air pipes. By heatiDg the building in this way it not only provides a more uniform heat, but it is actually less expen sive in point of fuel and about SUBSCRIBERS TO THE CORDELE CARNIVAL A List of Them With Amounts Given Up To Date.

Hi. Farewell Sermon. Rev. Elam Culpepper preached his farewell sermon here as pastor of the First Baptist church last Sunday night. The house was filled and every seat taken.
