new HIGHWAY
WILL Be BUILT
WORK SOON TO BE COMPLETED
ON ROAD FROM CORDELE BY
WAY OF SEVILLE TO ABBEVILLE
BUILDING FOR BETTER TRADE.

Through the cooperation of the
county commissioners OK Wilcox coun-
ty and the commissioners of this coun-
ty, a highway will be constructed be-
tween Cordele and Abbeville, by way
of Seville and Pitts, that will success
fully compare with any highway in
this entire section of country. The
work is expected to be completed with
in the next month or six weeks. The
Seville road leading out of Cordele will
connect with a highway at the Crisp
county line which the changing of
Wilcox county is now working thor
oughly and placing in most substantial
condition. Representatives of the
board of commissioners Of that coun-
ty have appeared before the commits
sioners of this county to secure OPP
GRAFTON in the matter of having the
highway worked out of Cordele to the
county line.
The Crisp county changing is now
working on the fremont road and it
is probable that as soon as work on
this road is complete the camp will
be moved over to the Seville road. All
of the highways Of that section will
be placed in fine repair before the
camp is moved from that section.
There is another road leading out
from Rochelle and tapping the main
highway between Cordela and Able
Vile that is being thoroughly repaired
by the Wilcox gang. This road con-
meets with the cemetery road leading
out of Cordele, and the commission
ers of this county are also urged to
make repairs on this road as soon as
practical.
Cordele attracts an immense trade
from Seville and that section and
good highway is considered one OF the
greatest inducements to enlarge this
trade The Seville road, while in good
condition for the most part, that part
lying within Crisp county, has been in
rough condition for several miles, and
comparatively little work will be re-
quired in placing this road in splen-
did condition.

SURVEY SHOWS
MAIDS RECEIVE
TOO Low WAGE

Cooks and maids in the homes of
Richmond are underpaid, have made
quate hours for social life and are not
gfven the opportunity of promotion
and increased wages with increased
efficiency, according to the report of
the survey committee relative to
Household and Institutional Service.
The following recommendations are
made by the survey committee rela-
tive to the household and institutional
service:
The Survey Committee earnestly
calls the attention of employing wom-
en-, and employed women to this re
port, with the hope that these prob
lens may be squarely met and solved.
When employers and employed reach
just decisions regarding standardiza-
tion of work, wages and hours OF
labor, and the training required of
workers for entrance, efficiency and
promotion, the Richmond schools will
be justified In providing the necessary
day courses for those who wish to
enter work, and continuation courses
for those already in the work.
DR.. R. ]. Leonard, head Of the sur
vey, said today that he expects that
the citizens of Richmond, generally
will not accept the report of the sur
vey committee favorably but that it
represents the true situation.
'It is impossible to estimate accu-
rately the number of domestic serv-
ants employed in the homes of Rich.

ORDERS INSIST /
that SCHOOLS OBSERVE
MEMORIAL DAY THIS YEAR.


The question OF whether the chill
dren attending the city public schools
win have half day holiday on Memor-
ial Day will be a question the school
board will have to pass upon.
Under a ruling of the state board of
account teachers in the public schools
would receive no pay If the schools
were closed on Memorial Day.
Members of the G. A. R.. the Sons
Of Veterans and other patriotic organ
izations are asking that the school be
dismissed on Memorial Day, as was
the custom in former year.
Miss Sarah Hill, member of the
school board would be willing to pro-
vide at least a half holiday on that
occasion if arrangements can be made
whereby the teachers will not lose pay
for services. She thought it probable
that arrangements could be made for
an extra half day of school later in
the term.
Miss Hill said that when a two days
vacation was ordered last Thanksgiv-
ing arrangements had to be made to
curtail the length of the Christmas
holiday vacation corresponding
length of time.

Miller sets Price.


Mr. Miller said that he has placed
a price on both the warehouses, but
that the deal with the Richmond Bak-
ing company and other parties for the
organization of separate wholesale
grocery company, which will operate
a warehouse in connection with en-
largement of the bakery, has not been
closed. He has been in negotiations
with officials of the baking company
for several days, and said that pros
poets are bright for closing the deal
in the near future.
II is understood that several other
offers have been made for the building
which the baking company is con-
templating to use In the event the re-
organization plan Is successful No
option has been taken on the property,
MIR. Miller said.
Although the building which the
baking company is contemplating US
ing is much larger than the building
directly east of it, the latter building
Is amply large enough to accommo-
1ate commission house larger than
any of the businesses in Richmond at
present. Mr.. Miller would not say
whether any of the local companies
are involved in the deal.

HUNT NO SUCCESSOR
FOR PROF. DENNIS

So far no arrangements have been
made to fill the vacancy left on the
teaching staff of Earlham college by
the death of Prof D. W. Dennis.
1t is likely that no one will be seeur-
ed to take his place. During the last
several years DR.. Dennis had been con-
nected with the college as a sort of
research professor, and had few
class. These classes are now being
cared for by Profs. Raymond Binford
and Mr.. NJ. Markle.
DR.. Dennis was head of the biologi-
cal department. This includes both
the botany and zoology departments.
These department probably will be
separated. Prof. Markle is head of the
botany department, and Prof. Binford
is head of the zoology department

CIRCUS DAY
AT EAST JORDAN
THIS SATURDAY

Strange sights and still stranger
animals will be among the many things
that will be unloaded when the big
show train of the Sun Brothers Worlds
Progressive Shows arrive I'm East Jor-
dan on Saturday, July 22nd. This is
the date of the appearance here of this
we'll known amusement enterprise.
Long before dawn, the railroad yards
will be the center of attraction for the
younger generation of town and many
household will be startled from its
peaceful slumbers at an unseemly hour
by the tinkling of the alarm clock under
the pillows of the small boy. In fact, a
few comfortable beds will be left un-
disturbed throughout the entire night,
their usual occupants preferring to re-
main awake and thus run no risk of
missing the opportunity of witnessing
the arrival and unloading of these great
shows. The Sun Brothers Shows for
this season have an all new equipment
and brand new plethora of acts and
performances in all its departments, in
fact it can truthfully be said that it is
an all new show. The only recogniz-
able thing of its past seasons is the
adherance to of their old time policy of
never allowing at any time or place any
gamblers, sure thing men, confidence
games, fortune tellers, dancing girl
show or anything in the nature of a
roper-in-device. These issues have
never been tolerated with this show
nor will they ever be countenanced.
Two complete performances will be
given here during their engagement
and the assurance is made that both
performances will be presented with
out any curtailment whatever Many
new and novel free outside exhibitions
are offered this season and are said to
be of an unusually entertaining and
"thriler" character.
