The Board of Trade as organized this
week, is along the right line. It looks
like business. To employ a secrelary

rate him for Ids services f* a departure
from the former methods of such or

way we can expect the organization to

If all the Smiths should support can
didate Smith, the tieless gentleman
from Oglethorpe would have no occa
sion to feel very badly on the guberna
torial nomination day.
We don’t hear from “Eledroc" on
the city tax rate question these days.
As “Eledroc” is “Cordele" spelled
backwards, lie has probably concluded
that he is backwards on defending a
high tax rate.
Let those who can do so hear Mr.
Terrell Monday. Give nil the candi
dates a respectful hearing and then
make up your mind deliberately. There
is no use rushing at a decision, you’ve
got plenty of time.
We shouldn’t judge that Mr. Estill
will drop out of the gubernatorial race
by June 1st, as some editor so gratu
itously predicted, judging from the
way he is skipping about over the coun
try meeting the people.
Dooly furnishes the most timid lot
of candidates in the state. Wile can

in their home papers in nearly all the
counties in Georgia, the Dooly candi
dates are waiting on the other fellow j
to announce first. Come across with
the “five." boys—the sooner the better.

HOW TO REDUCE THE RATE.
How to reduce the city tux rate from one and one half per cent, to
one per cent, straight, as it was two years ago. is not such a puzzling
proposition as som« would think at first glance And this is true
even if the belated financial statement should prove the city owing as
much as twelve months ago, provided it is only necessary to raise the
same fund that was figured necessary to raise twelve months ago when
the rate was fixed at one and one half of one per cent.
Since our article last week, “what are the conditions” the Sentinel
has received hearty congratulations, but we have been asked to ex
plain how we can figure on a one per cent- basis sufficient "despite pre
vailing conditions.” This is an easy matter, provided the plan is
adopted and is h meetly and faithfully carried.
1st. Property values in the city of Cordele, as shown by the returns
on file in the clerk and treasurer’s office, as a general rule, show about
the same, with no perceptical increase, during the past several years.
2nd. Some property owners have decreased the values of their
properties systematically to fit the increase in tax rate—so that the
tax payer paid about the same tax year before last at one and one
quarter us the year before at one per cent, straight and, last year at
one and one half as the year before at one and one quarter, or pre
cious little more tax at one and one half than at one.
3rd, The following examples are give?) illustrating that if the as
sessors would force property values to very nearly their market value,
that one per cent, will bring as much or more taxes this year than
one and one half brought last year. These examples are not picked
from the extremes but these parties pay their just proportions ; possi
ble better proportion than the average city tax payer, under tne valua
tions in vogue at the present writing.
(a) $20,000 will not purchase a bunch of property returned last
year at $12,500. One per cent at the former figure would bring bet
ter results than one and one half at the last year returned valuation.
(b.) $10,000 would not buy a piece of property returned last year
for $0,000. Apply the two rates to these figures and note the $10 in
crease in favor of the one per cent. rate.
(o.) There’s a certain building insured for $5,000* From $8,000 to
$10,000 would not purchase this property. One per cent, at $8 000
would be more by $5 than one and one half on $5,000.
(d.) The same rule is true as to a piece of property returned at
$3 500, the building cost $4,500 and front five to six thousand would
not
(e.) There is another piece returned at
sometime ago—its worth more today, A resident property returned
at $2 000 that $3-000 would’nt buy. Another resident piece at $1250
that sold for $2,000. and another resident property for $1200 with
nearly one-third more insurance on the residence alone, etc.
4th. We do not argue putting values up where they ought to be, as
above pointed out, and, at the same time, agree that the tax rate
should remain above one per cent, but do urge the city fathers to
consider and put the values right and the rate right—at one per cent.
5th. If the property values were one million dollars last year and
the proportion of increase in values as compared with the examples
given, which is a reasonable- inference, then the property values this
year would jumpt to one and one half million and one-fourth and
three-fourths respectively would run the schools and city government
—make a better showing as to the total property values, better show
ing as to the rate of taxation, relieve the conscience of the fellow who
reduces his values to be able to meet the higher rate and, best of all,
bring in as much tax money to the city as one and one half brought
in last year under the low valuation plan.

Death of Hr. Needham.
The Reaper, Death, garnered
another sheaf of his harvest Sat
urday night, February 15th, when
Mr. J. B. Needham, like a tired
child going to sleep, sank to rest.
He had been in bad health for
seyeral years, but made a brave
fight for health and life.
Mr, Needham at different times
occupied responsible positions with
the Western Union and Seaboard
Air Line Railway, but had not
been actively employed for about
a year; spending a part of that
time in Texas in search of health,
and a number of months in this
city.
He was a native of Tennessee
and was in his thirty-eighth year.
In 1887 he was married to Miss
Louise Atkins, and leaves a wife
and four little daughters, who
have lost a devoted husband and
father.
The funeral services, conducted
by Rev. L. C, Birch, were held at
the residence of Miss Atkins Sun
day afternoon, with interment at
Sunny Side cemetery. The music
was furnished by the male quar
