Bonds for school and sewerage purposes
are necessity.
IF we are to have school buildings for the
next school term, or the sewers before the
latter part of next year, prompt action is neces-
sary.
We have not been patient about the sewer
matter, for the reason that we have not been IN
position to issue sufficient bonds until now,
and we oppose breaking dirt for the sewers
before cool weather sets in. Last year we
thought next October, (1906,) would be proper
time to start to work, and now we urge that it
be done. If the work is not begun early in the
winter then we must wait another year. The
risk will be great and in view of the recent
impetus to our general progress, it would prove
disastrous to our expansion and we will run
greater risk of fever than ever before, on
account of the great increase in population.
The schools have been neglected ali too
long. Our present school buildings have BEEN
suddenly out-grown, with prospect of much
greater demands The grades are scattered
over the city in buildings unsuited in character
and location. Certa1ly it will not be ques-
toned that very much more room is immedi-
ate1y necessary, and no reasonable man will
deny that we have vastly out-grown the charac-
ter of our present buildings.

Why reasoning beings will congregate and

thousands of broad and fertile acres in salub-
rious climate, the healthest in the world, where
there is room for millions, and where the tee-
graphic, mail and transportation facilities of the
age make it possible to learn all the facts
within month, and easy to make the transfer
within year, is beyond our ken. We need sew

Vesuvius seems to want to be rid of them, at
least inclined to give them the shake.
Of course those that have been consumed in
the rivers of lava or ncinerated in the flood of
hot cinders that have buried their homes and
cities can not be expected to do a great deal in
the immigration act but those who' have es-
capped and realize that the destruction of homo s

thing must happen over again, might fud it to
their advantage to investigate the advantages
that this God blessed section offers.

A lady asks us to explain why it is that Fitz-
gerald can produce fruit aud vegetables earlier
than Cordele can. She simply couldn't do it if
we had the truck farmers to develop our resource
es: in fact, we have two truck farmers
who have as early truck as the Fitzgerald PEG.
pie, but not enough to supply our city. Fitz-
gerald is furnishing Cordele with strawberries
aud some other vegetables, but it is not ac-
count of superior soil or climate conditions, but
because. we need more truck farmers. Mr.
Adams of the Adams Market, says that Cordele
presents the prettiest field for some good
truck men that he ever saw.-Cordele Ram bier.
