SUMTER LKaRS OFF.
Her Grand Jury Recommends »he
Dog Law.
The grand jury of Sumter
county drawn for December term,
1899 have recommended the
adaption of the general tax on
dog* in compliance with the acts
of the last general assembly, so
tbat dogs will be taxed for the
purpose of augmenting the school
fund of that county.
It is believed that, there will be
many a houud, whelp and cur of
low degree killed there under
this law. There are already some
dozens of applications for the po
sition of dog-killing bailiff. It is
believd that for a short time a bai
liff can make big money billing
dogs at 25 cents per dog.
Cotton Factory a Certainty.
Mr. Cuyler Smith of Atlanta,
one of the promoters and peti
tioners for charter for a cotton
factory for Cordele, was here
Tuesday of this week.
Mr. Smith says the factory will
be put in here beyond all doubt,
and all arrangements are being
perfected to that- end now. This
is indeed encouraging and it is to
be hoped that the day is not far
distant when the necessary ma
chinery will be placed in position
ready to operate.
South Georgia seems to be
awake to t.he importance of estab
lishing these factories in her bor
ders, and we are proud tbat Cor
dele is among those towns that
are advancing on this line.
It means a great deal to our
farmers, inasmuch as it will ena
ble them to. get the best prices
for their surplus crop. We sin
cerely hope that there will be no
backward step taken, but let our
people take hold of the matter
with a will and push forward the
movement until the factory is es
tablished and everything in run
ning order.
