Dooly’s Social and Educational • Ad
vantages.
Dooly county has* an excellent up to
date public school system, equal to
any county In the state. For several
years the progressive cltlxena of the
county have supported with enthu
siasm, the school officials in building
up an efficient public school system
Social conditions will compare most
favorably with Georgia’s most pro
gressive counties and few sections have
a more intelligent, moral and enter
prising citizenship. Though there
other religious denominations In the
county, the Methodist ahd Baptist are
the leading churches. The churches
are liberally supported by the people
generally.
Cordele, The Magic City of the Pines—
Its Remarkable Growth—Its Rail-
raids and Commerce—High Moral
and Social Status and Excellent Ed
ucational Advantages.
As towns grow In Georgia. Cordele
has a remarkable history. Few towns
have had such a rapid and substan
tial growth starting in the woods six
teen years ago in a sparely settled re
gion it has grown to be a modern city
with all the Improvements and conven
iences of the large cities—waterworks,
sewerage, electric lights, telephones,
fire department,, etc. Excepting trolley
cars. It has all the facilities of an up
to date city.
Cordele had In 1900 a popuplation of
8.473. Its growth the past four years
has been greater than during and pre
vious similar period. No census has
been taken since, but the population
is estimated at 5,000. This is a con
servative estimate to Judge by the Im
provements the past year in the busi
ness section of the city. During the
past twelve months fifteen or twenty
modern brick business houses have
been erected, besides numerous resi
dences. and there is not a vacant
building in the city. Many of Cordele’s
residences and business structures
would do credit to much older and
larger cities.
Tn commercial Importance Cordele’s
advancement has been extra ordinary
According" to figures given out hy the
board of trade. Cordele did a business
last year of $14,000,000. This Is truly
n remnrkable showing for a young
city, la the plney woods.
Cordele has 158 business concerns
including ten wholesale houses and a
numbei* of industrial enterprises giv
ing employment to several hundred
people. There are variety works,
foundry and machine shops, cotton oil
mill. sash, door and blind factory, mar
ble works, four bottling works, steam
alundry. cotton icompress, two public
ginneries, two grist mills, shingle mill
and two plalnnlng'.mllls. These Indus
tries furnish employment to onslder-
nble number of men and add largely
to the commercial Importance of the
city. The cotton receipts of Cordele
have grown from 1.000 hales annually
a few years ago. to about 18,000 bales
this season, estimating the total re
ceipts by the 16.000 hales received up
to date, hy the warehouses and sold In
town. Independent of the 30.000 bales
received by rail to be compressed and
reahlpped for export.
This splendid growth of Cordele’s
cotton receipts gives a fnlr Idea of the
growth of the town and development
of the surrounding agricultural terri
tory. No other town and section In
Georgia can make a better showing.
As a cotton market Cordele rates at
the top notch hy reason of Its first class
transportation faeolltles furnished hy
four railroads, three of which are Im
portant lines and the other a short
line traversing a fine agricultural sec
tion between Albany and Cordele. The
Atlantic and Birmingham.’ and Georgia
Southern and Florida are two of the
best and most enterprising roads In
the South, while the Resboard Air
Line Is one of the big systems, reach
ing nearly every part of the country-
other lines are projected and will
doubtless reach Cordele at no distant
date. These advantages make Cordele
one of the best cotton markets In the
state, as well as a first class market
town generally. The enterprising mer-
rhants of erdele Ccompete with and

allowing no place to undersell them.

12. Dooly county voted by a sub
stantial majority ‘n favor of the con
stitutional amendment, providing for
the creation of eight new counties in
georglo, having full knowledge that f
Cordele and south Dooly, In the event 1
the amendment carried, would aak that ;
a new county be created from the ter
ritory herein described.
13. Ih forming the proposed new
county, we leave old Dooly with an |
area- larger than we take and a popu
lation and wealth exceeding that of
the entire county at the time Cordele
was chartered In December. 1888. with- *
out a dollar s Indebtedness upon the
old'^ouhty. either bonded or otherwise.
14. The people of south who have for
long years lived remote from the coun-
aeat and thereby put to Inconven
ience and expense In attending court
and other county affairs, would be re
lieved of this burden by the making of
new county with Cordele ns the
county seat, while it would In no way
add to the burdens of the other section
the county.
Many other good reasons could be
stated why this new county should
established, but It Is deemed un
necessary to enlarge on them.
Certain conditions exist touching the
movement for a new county here.
hlch indicate the successful culmina
tion of the enterprise that do not favor
similar efforts In other locations. For
instance. South Dooly 1 is not asking
for territory from any other county.
Dooly county alone to settlle nnmng
themselves and there is no visible or
active opposition to the movement In
any portion of the county. Dooly coun
is entirely out of debt, bonded un
usually low, owing to the great In
crease of taxable property at Cordele
and in South Dooly the county has
modern public buildings erected In
recent years, therefore the establish
ment of the new county would entail
> burdens on the mother county.
Besides the creating of the new
county would forever settle certain Is
sues that might come up In the future
to worry the Northern section of the
county. Cordele and South Dooly may
grow strong enough In the near future.
If they malutnin their present rate of
Increase In wealth and population, to
move the capital from Vienna to Cor
dele. Such things have been done In
other communities, though it Is only
suggested here ns a probable. Issue In
case Cordele Is defeated in securing
the new county.
As stated, the committee appointed
to manage Cordele’s new county move
ment. Is not asking for outside terri
tory for the formation of the new
county, but this does not necessarily
mean that they would object to por
tions of other counties being attached.
The position nssuined by the commit
tee Is that while outside territory Is
not being considered In the movement.
If sections of adjacent counties desire
to come In. no objection will be raised
and they will be welcomed.
For several reasons. Cordele’s new
bounty movement Is an unusually
strong effort. A combination of con
ditions adds strength to the naturally
strong situation, ns already described,
by reason of favorable geographical
location, railway facilities, population
and commercial Importance. In the
first place. Cordele Is a city of $6,600
people among whom are scores of In
fluential men who formerly lived In
cry part of the state and of course,
will have Influence with the members
of the general assembly from nil sec
tions. The population of the city Is
composed principally of people from
prnctleally every county In Georgia.
This fact was developed st a mass
meeting recently held In the Interest
of the new, county enterprise, when the
roll of the members of the legislature
was called, for the purpose of appoint
ing committees to confer with every
senator and representative, It was dla
closed thnt there were acquaintance!
and personal friends of every member
of the house and sennte.HHHIHHH
Cordele has a way of going down for
whnt she wants, seldom falling to get
It. The town’s splendid success Is due
to the united efforts of the people who
have learned to smother personal feel
ings and to give and take In formu
lstlng plans nnd pllcies for the city’s
welfare and advancement, combining
their means nnd their energlcn In car
rylng them out. If there Is a croaker
In the city he has a hole nnd ntnys In
It—he would not dare to croak In
public.
As before remarked, the pluck and
progressive spirit demonstrated by the
citizens of Cordele In the building of
their superb city, deserves the county
sent—nnd they will get It.^H
The Men Who Are Making Cordele the
Gem City of the Wiregrass Country
Socially, morn’ily, educationally nnd
ns a first-class msrket town, there may
he other cities thnt equal Cordele, hut
none nurpeas it—It Is ns good ss the
best in the South, nnd the men who
have worked so well In building It,
surely have many nuhntnntlal reasons
for encourngement. for whnt city enn
compare with It ns to prospects for
the future, with Its unequaled railway
fncllltlea. Its healthy location, unsur
passed agricultural nnd horticultural
territory and U* public spirited citi
zenship?
The men who have exemplified such
superb energy nnd enterprise In build
ing the city can be depended on to
push the work In the future to a mag
nificent success.
