Big CHIEF AFTER
SISTER SHELTER
SANITARY DEPARTMENT WANTS
YOUR ASSISTANCE IN KEEPING
A CLEAN TOWN THROUGH THE
SUMMER MoNTHsI CooPERA-
TON NECESSARY.

The shelters will get you if you
don't watch out This is the warning
of Big Bill, chief sanitary inspector
i'll Cordele. He has gone the full length
Of the big ditch and it is cleaned out
and oiled so as to make it hard liv-
ing for Sister Skeeter. Now he urges
that everybody clean up,sure enough,
clean up, so that you might call the
place cleaned up when you get
through.
Big bill wants it understood that it
is all unfair for you 10 put the fruit
parings, the water melon rinds and
other waste on the rear veranda till
it sours and attracts the flies before
you decide that you want to put it
where the sanitary carts can get it.
When you wait till things are in that
bad way, you want the whole sanitary
department the next minute and raise
big fuss because you cannot get it.
Well, that isn't right. When you yell
out, Big Bill says he is coming com
ing right now, but you want to give
him time to get there. That's his best
argument for fair play.
Now he asks that you get together
all the tin cans, all the waste about
the place and put it out where he can
get it. He wants you to come down
with the tall grass and the weeds
and keep them down. He wants you
to stay on that job all summer and
he'll give you a clean town. That's all.

THERE is NO LAW THAT FIXES
SALARY FOR SCHOOL BOARD MAN

The Dispatch assumed responsible
ty Of telling the people OF Cordele
that their newest man of power on
the city school board draws a salary
of $500 a year out of the school tax
fund without the shadow of legal au-
thority for it. The Dispatch finds no
special pleasure in having to tell the
people that such is the case, but The
people ought to know. There are some
other things, too they ought to know
and think about.
Last Friday this newest man at the
head of our city school board under
took to justify himself in drawing that
salary and at the same time tried to
make it appear that we belonged to
The lowest order of liars.
TO DO THAT THING HE QUOT
ED A SECTION OF AN AMEND
MENT TO THE OLD CITY CHAR
TER OF 1883. HE FATHERED THAT
SECTION AND WAS RUNNING THE
SCHOOLS or CORDELE AT THE
TIME. IT FINED HIM A SALARY
or $500 A YEAR NOW THAT
CHARTER is Superseded BY AN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ONE THAT
WAS DRAWN UP BY OTHER PEG
PIE. HE HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH 1T AND THE CITY CHAR
TER UNDER WHICH WE ARE LIV-
ING TODAY DOES NOT PERMIT
HIM TO DRAW HIS $500 1T LEFT
THE SECTION OUT COMPLETELY
AND DOES NOT so MUCH AS RE
FER TO a SALARY FOR THE HEAD
OF THE SCHOOLS OR FOR ANY
BODY EXCEPT THE TEACHERS. IF
THE MAKERS OF OUR CHARTER
OF 1911 HAD EXTENDED THAT
THIS SALARY SHOULD REMAIN,
DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY WOULD
HAVE LEFT IT OUT? WHEN WE
ADOPTED THE NEW CHARTER,
WE REPEALED THE OLD. n CAN
NOT NOW BE THE LAW UNDER
WHICH WE LIVE.
The new charter Of 1911 provides for
a president Of the school board, vice
president, and q secretary and treas
urer, and it also provides that the
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-07-01

school funds shall be used only for
maintaining the schools. The dead
section of an amendment to the old
charter of 1888 provides for a clerk
and treasurer. The new charter pro
vides for a secretary and treasurer,
but does not provide for salary for
him. Was the salary simply forgot
ten? We think not.
The mere quoting of that dead law
without telling where it came from
was a bold effort to destroy the force
of what the Dispatch had said. Our
school boss had presumed that we
could not explain it. But we hope we
have explained it in its true light.
There is no law that provides $500
for this office.
We want to tell the people of Cor
dele again that he would not have
spent one minute in the shameful
scramble for that place had il not
been for the $500 The work he claims
to do for it simply belongs to the Of
ice of school superintendent, He ought
not to draw it. No man ought to do
il. 1t is a small piece of graft that
ought not to be permitted. Neither
he nor any other man ought to draw
for his own use of public fund that
is not specifically provided for by law.
Not many men would want to do it.
The work of the members Of our
school board ought to be gratis. There
are some as good citizens in this com
munity as live anywhere in Georgia.
There is one man here alone who is
as capable Of doing school work in
this capacity as any average man in
Georgia. He has never been asked
to serve But he has nothing to do
with partisan politics and is therefore
ret needed on the board of educa-
tcn He would serve,-has recently
said so There are others that like
wise have nothing to do with partisan
politics 10 you suppose they will
ever be asked to serve? And yet
and yet, they are the very men we
ought 10 be relying on most to man
age The schools. All of us have faith
il them, Why not use them?

Here's good news for Cordele.
1t is Of particular interest to most
everybody in Cordele and a great
many who live elsewhere. 1t is an i'm
provement that will be worth great
deal just for the satisfaction that it
will give hundreds of automobilists
and drivers of other vehicles.
The street committee of council, J.
S. Sheppard, chairman, has made
plans to pave railway crossings on
Sixth and Seventh streets of both the
Seaboard and A. B. & A. railways and
the Twelfth and Thirteenth avenue
crossing on the Georgia Southern &
Florida railway.
The work will be started immediate
ly and will be under the direction Of
Street Overseer S. r. Bolton. The
crossings to be paved have unques-
tionably been the toughest at railroad
intersections in the city.

CHIEF.

The call of the President on the i'm
mediate need of recruits did not go
unheeded in Cordele and Crisp coun-
ty by any means, and the responses
have been rapid and continuous
through this immediate section. The
President has called for $500 men
from Georgia to augment 10000 new
troops needed altogether from through
cut the country, and if all sections of
Georgia respond as readily and effec-
lively as this section Georgia's quota
would probably be raised in a short
time.

patriotism on Friday when seven
