A okkat many newspapers arc mak

The cotton crop in Dooly lias turned
out tar better than the average farmer
recently supposed.
Over 500 cars of peaches have left
Fort Valley for foreign points. Dooly
could peach a little more if she would.
The way of the transgressor is hard,
and the pedestrian is by no means
smooth on Cordele sidewalks.
There is a perfect calm after the re
cent storm in the newspaper world in
and around the city of Vienna.
The city grows, despite the fact that

The election of lion. Dudley Hughe ”
as president of the Georgia State Agri
cultural society meets with favorable
comment from all sources.
Ik you are opposed to the open door
liquor traffic and to the domination of
the state by corporations, you ought to
be in favor of Guerry for governor.—
Sparta Ishmaelite.
These Georgia politicians are hard to
please. First, they worried continually
because Henry G Turner wouldn’t
speak. And now they are worried be
cause he did speak.—Monroe Adver-
1 iser.
It certainly cannot bo charged that
Dupont Guerry is afraid to take a stand,
nor that he fails to let the people know
what his Convictions are. After all,
this is a quality much admired by the
masses.
Coroki.e will have more cotton buy
ers than ever before this season and
will pay the highest market prices for
the fieecy staple. Surely fanners will
find it to their advantage to bring their
cotton to Cordele.
The Progress announces the depart
ure of Major Butler, local editor, with
out leaving word where he was going
or when he would return, ‘•but. says
Editor Smith, "T on
tinue business at the same][old stand.”
Atlanta’s newspapers would prob
ably lose their hearts if deprived of the
privilege of discussing the depot situa
tion, the contentions of the street rail
ways, those biggirders. and that White
hall street \ iaduct.
Tukkk is many a slip betwixt the
cup and the lip, nevertheless, it is said
to be an absolute certainty that work
will actually begin on that new
depot next week. Don’t forget
time and place, Cordcle, Ga.,

The Sentinel would remind its de
linquent subscribers of the
of casting a dollar into our almost
pleted treasury during the Fall season.
Somehow it lias kind’o an
effect on our constitutionality when
you remember us thus substantially.
The tax rate for the state! has been
fixed at $5.40on tin! $ 1 , 000 , which is
percent, higher than last year, despite
the fact that the taxable property has
increased over twenty-three million
dol\ars. Increased appropriations by
the last legislature did it.
SouTif Georgia has plenty of good
timber and might easily furnish the
next attorney-general, provided each
section of South Georgia doesn’t take
a notion that the man for the place is
its own candidate, in which even 1 ,North
Georgia will again furnish the attorney
general,
Mr. H. H. Cabaniss’ name is men
tinned for mayor of Atlanta, to sue
eeed Major Mims, when the latter’s
term expires, and there is said to be
now no prospective opposition to lmn.
Atlanta could not do herself more
honor than by electing Dim with an
unanimous vote, if he wishes the of
lice
The Tilton Gazette thinks that the
surmise of Henry G. Turner that the
Savannah Morning News and the At
Junta Constitution have formed an
alliance, whereby Mr. Estill is to be
governor for four years, and then Mr.
i 1 lark Howell for the next tour, is
rather ttn erroneous surmise, and an
unbecoming charge on the part of the
statesman from Brooks.
THE LAST GRAND JURY.—
At the last term of Dooly superior
Judge Littlejohn announced that
lie would request future grand juries
to read carefully the recommendations
the preceding grand jury. The
trusts that the following
taken from the presentments of
last grand jury will not be forced
into the presentments of the grand
that meets next week, although,
we are fearful that it will be the case,
to the present inefficient method
of road work. Following is what the
grand jury said :
‘‘We also find from reports from
every district in the county that there
is scarcely a road in the county worked
as the law directs and beg leave to
urge every road eomniissioner and road
overseer in the county to use their
efforts to have ail the public roads in
the county worked better and kept up
near as they can lie in the way which
the law directs.”
A NEW CHARTER.
It is time the city fathers were con
a new charter for Cordele, if
propose to do so at this session of
legislature.
The present charter was approved
became operative November 22 ,
Since that time Cordele has
to be a city of factories, shops
mills, holding within her borders
four thousand souls. Since 1888
has sprung Into existence a pub
school system, waterworks system,
electric light system, telephone
a sewerage system, sanitary
ment, and other additions relying
the public welfare of the city
ment.
Citizens who pay the same rate
tax and do not get the advantages
the water mains, and sewerage, elec
tric street lights and the protection
the city’s tire department, claim
they are being discriminated against by
the expenditures of the city’s money
for the improvements.
Cordele’s rapid growth demands
charter equal to its progress, and
broad enough to allow the proper
lation by the city council to
and support, in the most
manner, the public improvements
the city.
Evil thoughts swarm only in
pied minds.
