Cordelo wants to steal some ot the trade that Americas gets from Sumter county. Cordelo Is pushing Its busi- i In various ways and It now casts i covetous eye across the Flint river to the broad and fertile regions oi. Sumter county. It thinks it may man-' uerer In such a way as to divert the| business of a portion of the county from Americus to Itself. The plan that has been worked up In Cordele Is to havetbe county com missioners ot Crisp county throw a bridge across the Flint river Into Sumter county and construct a good highway from the .bridge to Cor dele. The claim Is made that the far mers ot a large section ot Sumter county hare to come twenty miles or more to Americus, while If the Crisp Idea is carried out they would have to travel ten miles or so to Cordele to do their marketing. The county commissioners ot Crisp now have the matter under consider ation and propose to look Into the expense of building the bridge and constructing the road. Inasmuch as there Is a considerable stretch of swamp land to be crossed after the river Is bridged on both sides, It Is quite likely that the Crisp county peo ple will find that the cost Is a pro hibitive one. They could hardly ask 6umter county to assist In building the bridge and the approaches this side of the river In order to take business away from Sumter county towns. Americus now has good roads reaching almost to the edge of tho Flint river and during the present year or next will be further connected with the territory that Cordele de sires to annex. With One thirty-foot highways running from Amen that region It Is hardly ■ Cordele, even If It gets commissioners to build theb And Itself much better o« 1 suit In the way of Increased One kind of curiosity Is *' with two grandmothers spoiled.
