GRADY COUNTY PROGRESS, CAIRO.
next term, and we shall urge the passage of thi hond
measure regardless of the personality of the City Govern
ment for the next term.
With all our soul we decry any effort to stir up dis
cord at this time, and we 1)011070 it is not the part of any
good citizen to declare that they will help to defeat
bonds because the particular person they may have
wanted for some particular place was not selected.
As we said last week at this time of all others it
should be; All for Cairo and Cairo for All.

Sewerage an Imperative Need for Cairo
Shutting our eyes to the fact will not change the sit-
u ition, Cairo has outgrown the time when she can afford
to do without sewerage. Stroll down our streets any
quiet night an 1 your nostrils will give you sufficient evi
dence of the condition prevailing. It is with no desire to
advertise our lack to the world that we mention these
things at this time, but with the hope that we will rouse
to the necessity that confronts ui. We need unity of ac
tion in Cairo right now that will result in an emphatic
vote in favor of a bond issue that will permit the speedy
installation of a system of sewerage in our town that will
make it a more desirable place for every body to live.
This is of all times no time for potty politics to have
place among up. We believe it is true no one set of offi
cers could be chosen in any manner that might be sug
gested that would suit all the people of the town. No
manner of selecting these officers could be proposed that
would suit everybody, but because these things are true
is no reason why our town should not accept in good
grace whatever set of men may be selected, and then
enter heartily into the effort to have this much needed
improvement accomplished at the earliest possible mo
ment.
We believe that whatever body of men that may be
selected by a majority of the citizens of Cairo may be
trusted to realize the responsibility resting upon them,
and to do nothing that will bring discredit upon our
town. For our part we are willing to accept whatever
Mayor or Council the votes of the people select for the
PLOW UNDER COTTON STALKS
Cotton will soon all be gathered. Cotton prices are
good this year ani very likely will continue so next year.
This fact will not benefit Grady county next year if we
do not grow the cotton. The experience of every com
munity from here to the Rio Grande proves conclusively
that if we sit supinely by and expect to grow cotton un
der the conditions and methods that we have always
done, we most assuredly will have no cotton.
Now that the cotton is gathered for this season there
should be no loss of time on the part ofevery farmer in the
county in quickly turning under the stalks. This is the
first step toward growing a successful cocn crop next
year and it is one that must be attended to right soo 1 oi
not at all. Plow under your cotton stalks. Do it SOON
Greetings fudge Luke
It is no doubt a matter of gratification to nil South Georgians
that two of t'm new Appellate Cour! .) i Igei are from this station of
the state, an I all the more se, bacaus eof all the splendid men who
aspired to these places these two were generally recognised ns being
among thoso best qualified. But to this immediate section there i?
more than sectional prill in fie sol .via u of Rucee Luke as one of the
members of this court. It is a nutter of personal gratification. Mr.
Luke is so well known to wide a circle of his people here, and is
fully recognized as one of them, Ilia! the congratulations that are going
to he showered upon him are more personal in their nature than arc
common to most men.
We believe that the three new judges just chosen are going to add
decided strength to the Court of Appeals and we confidently predict
that Roscoe Luke will add unto himself new laurels.
