Cordele politics—««<«'*, enperq^e.
The May Edition of the Washing
ton, Ga., Chronicle is a beauty.
A cattle-raiser near Valdosta re
cently killed a beef which weighed
nearly 2,000 pounds.
The Weekly Press Association
will hold its annual session next
July in the city of Dublin.
The poultry and pet stock display
will he one of the important features
of the Georgia State Fair.
The Atlanta Constitution has
named it—the little jiaper over on
the other side of town; * ‘The Cordele
Hermit,”
The “Elkonian,” a little three
months-old paper that has been
printed at EJko, Ga., by Editor Mc
Nair, has suspended publication.
The Southern Farm Magazine says
that Mr. A. W. Walker of Spauld
ing county, Georgia, recently skip
ped 400 bushels of wheat of his own
raising to Atlanta,
The Sentinel not being n partisan
paper in Cordele municipal politics,
nevert heless, to both sides takes the
privilege of saying, “Rim lien, </ui rira
It dernier. ’’
It seems that marriages over in
Irwin county haven't got the prop
er sticking qualities. The superior
court, recently in session in that
county granted thirteen divorce
cases.
The Constitution has called our
little contemporary over on the other
side of town “The Cordele Hermit,”
ami we are wondering yet how the
big paper ’way up in North Georgia
ever found it out.
The curious fact that corn, pota
toes and other plants thrive better
when placed in rows running north
and south has now been proved.
Planted thus they obtain more uni
form and regular light.
The printer on the Moultrie ob
server must have been ox-eiled
when be was setting a headline over
an article setting forth the particu
lars of the lynching of Sam Hose.
He made the head road : “Burned at
The Steak!”
“A convention is to be liehl in
Atlanta to discuss methods of put
ting a stop to lynching. If there is
any way in which this end can he
accomplished it is to be hoped it will
be discovered and applied.”—Macon
Telegraph.
“If The Cordele Sentinel would
change its name to Bumble Bee it
and the Hornet would make a fine
i>air. ”—Waycross Journal. The
Sentinel does not want to sting
end it doesn't have to change its
name to Bumble Bee. in order to
hum.
The courts in Dooly have assumed
very large proportions. Indeed our
Superior Court this spring held six
weeks, nearly three times as long as !
usual: about 300 cases were trans
ferred to the County court, and this
court’s session has been more than
doubled; and at "the present
writing” our honorable Justice’s
Court of the Holst District. G. M., is
“peggingaway,” and will hold for
several more days. Now, “ain't we
getting there ?”
Lynch Law.
Well, the lynching bee and a)l its
concomitants have passed and a
calm reflection of all its incidents is
now in order. No one, it seems, at
tempts to palliate or excuse the
miserable fiend, Sam Hose, but there
are I hinking people all over this land
who do not believe in lynch law. If
lynch law is right, why is it that in
almost every case of its exercise we
see that the crowd of lynchers are
not apl)e ased by the killing of the
culprit alone but innocent parties
must go to appease the hunger of
this ravenous appetite for blood,
Lynch law is a monster that makes
the meat it feeds upon in a
many cases, We are only too glad
to see that almost without exception
the newspapers of the state condemn
it. These great palladiums of the
people’s liberties and controllers of
public opinion almost universally
urge that law and order should
reign and that one murder will not
atone for another.
The laws of Georgia make lynch
ing murder, and that God who in
His good and holy Book teaches
mortals to beware of vengeance and
to obey laws of the country, no
where commands us to do murder
even on such a fiend as Sam Hose.
Can any Georgian doubt but that
umler our strict law Sam Hose would
have been convicted and hung ?
There is a Gospel of Peace and love
of order and there is gospel of re
venge and disregard of law and a
yielding to our passion. Even so
good a paper as the Vienna Progress,
which generally advocates such
wholesome views, goes daft on this
question and puts on its leading
editorial page the following :
< 4 He ought to be lacerated, tarred
and feathered and burned to a stake,
in presence of the living victim and
the spirit of the departed. His eyes,
the eagles ought to pluck them out,
his body burned and his ashes cast
into the river ot this and similar
turpitude, which is flowing through
our land, as a warning to the living
and to terrify the souls of them who
are so mean as to think of doing
such deeds.”
STOCK LAW.—FARM PRODUCTS.
Sumter has long been the banner
cotton county of Georgia as Dooly
has been excelling in number of cat
tle ami sheep raised. But Sumter
will lose this pennant if things Keep
on as they now trend. Cotton is not
king any more. Thousands of cattle
are being slaughtered here now for
the North and West. Rich compa
nies are being formed and cattle are
herded here, fed a short time on cot
tonseed hulls then slaughtered and
shipped to foreign markets. The
business is proving profitable and
cattle are bringing better prices and
more are being raised than ever be
fore. But the money crop of this
county is not cotton, nor cattle, but
hogs. Everyday in Americus wagon
loads of home-raised bacon are mar
keted here. Some of our farmers
have made a great deal of money
raising hogs. Geo W. Council, who
lives five miles east of Americus and
who . claims . . to , . have dug , all „ lus , .
wealtli out, of mother earth, has
made a groat success in raising ba

RoUfdrO flf thfi nnrtnrc’ There is not the slightest doubt that the
DOnulv Ul lliC UuifiUld doctors do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of

The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of
this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash
^nd mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system
more damage than the disease itself.
Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: “I had spent a
hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
befly, and these soon broke out into running sore9, and I
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try S. S, S. as a last resort, and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc
tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the smaller, large splotches before on long my
chest began to grow paler and perfectly and and fe'i
disappeared entirely. I was soon cured my
skin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my

It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors
to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be
yond their skill. Swifts Specific—
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the
rid of it entirely. Hence it the '
poison out of the system and gets cures
disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever,
constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat

law was not obtained without a I
struggle and only after several elec
tions, but now its advantages are so
manifold that no one in this county
can be found who would go back to
the ancient way of fencing crops and
turning loose the stock. Hundreds
of acres that were barren are grow*,
ing up in wild oats and the branches
are growing up in cane that furnishes
fine feed for winter pasture.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The public schools of Americus
now have 1600 pupils and embrace a
course of eleven years. So thorough
is the course that last year six of our
students who attended other col
leges after graduating here took first
honors. This public school cost a
great deal of money but the unani
mous verdict of all our people is that
the school is worth all it costs. It
is now being discussed, but no def
inite shape lias been assumed, by
those favoring the addition of an in
dustrial department for the larger
boys and girls of our school. In
nothing has our city lavished so
much care and attention as on our
schools.
PROHIBITION.
Our merchants who thought they
could sell cider tinder our local op
tion law have all been stopped They
were ignorant of the fagt that the
local option law which prevails iu
this county as well as in Dooly ex
pressly provides that cider shall not
be sold at retail, and when they
ascertained that such was the fact
i they promptly paid the internal reve
nue license and went out of business,
They were laboring under the de
lusion that if the cider was non
intoxicating they cou'd sell it when
the statute expressly provides that
cider shall not be sold at retail in
barrooms and the Supreme Court
has in 79th Georgia Report declared
that a barroom is any place where
liquor or wine or cider is kept for
sale. Prohibition does prohibit in
