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. I SMOKE CAIRO MADE CIGARS ? EGYPTO and | Porto Rico Special 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.
