New Baptist Church at Hlchwood.
The Baptists of Richwood and
community have recently erected
a commodeous house of worship.
This work was planned and super
intended by the pastor, Rev. J. I.
Oxford, of Atlanta. The audito
rium is 40X60 feet with a raised
floor, a baptistry under the pulpit
platform with a dressing room on
each side.
The building is a credit to the
community in which it is located,
and shows a spirit of liberality on
the part of the people. Bro. Ox
ford informs us that the house will
be dedicated on the 3rd Sunday in
this month, the dedicatory sermon
to be preached by Dr S. Y. Jame
son, of Atlanta.

EDITOR PERRY ARRESTED.
Will Have to Appear Before the Oity
Criminal Court at Macon.
Editor John Perry of the Cordele
Daily Hornet, seems to be in some
what serious trouble. Last Tues
day was evidently not such a
pleasant fourth day of July as he
has possibly heretofore spent.
The crime with which Mr. Perry
is this time charged, if true, will
by far overshadow the persistent
efforts of certain criminals to
violate the law by selling white
flops, sweet cider and other intoxi
cants in Cordele. It will be re
membered that up to a month or
six weeks ago Mr. Perry had
working in the Hornet printing
office a female printer. Nothing
was thought of this at the time
other than she was a female
printer employed by Perry to aid
him in publishing the little daily,
the purpose of which—as stated
by its editor—was “t.o purify
Cordele.” The Sentinel scribe
does not know the woman, but her
name is said to be given in the
legal document, or accusations,
sent to Cordele from Macou.
The accusations contained in
this legal document are to the
effect that Mr. Perry, in company
with this woman, did on the 2nd
day of April, 1899, register at the
Ellis House m the city of Macon
as man and wife, and, as a promi
nent gentleman and wife of Cor
dele (the names as they appear on
the hotel register are, through re
spect to those parties, withheld
from the public). The accusaN
tions are that Perry and the
woman occupied the same room at
night and hence the main charge
in the document is adultery and
fornication. Bailiff George served
the warraut and Perry gave bond
for $250.00 to appear at the city
criminal court in Macon.
The defendant Perry is well
known in Cordele. He is about
six feet and three or four inches
tall, rather dark complexion, and
wears a dark mustache. Since the
23rd day of January last be has
been editor of the Cordele Hornet,
the columns of which he has used
for the maii\ purpose of abusing
Mayor Cutts and the present
aldermen of the city of Cordele
and claiming to be the representa
tive mouth-piece of the “Moral
Element” in Cordele. He claims
also that the object of his paper
is to purify Cordele, as the follow
ing quotation from a recent issue
of his paper shows : “The Hornet
has done its best to purify Cor
dele and there is no doubt but
what we will succeed iu the near
future.”
He was so unfortunate as to
recently make an unsuccessful at
tack upon our public schools and
also make uncomplimentary criti
cism upon Mr. John E. Howell,
the president of the Cordele Chau
tauqua Association, because the
latter saw proper to compliment
Mayor Gutts for his hearty co
operation in making the recent
Chautauqua a success. has tried hi*
Incidentally Perry and has
hand on The Sentinel
devoted many columns aud in
vain given laborious efforts to
prove The Sentinel a partisan
paper, rather than acknowledge
that this paper has no favorites in
municipal politics and that The
Sentinel is run onty upon a
strictly legitimate newspaper
basis. He.does not own directly
or indirectly any property in Cor
dele. Mr. Perry was receutlv
fined in the Mayor's court for
“drunk and disorder” and was
bound over to the State courts for
pointing a pistol at another and
for carrying concealed weapons
on his person.
Perry is not on the best of terms
with some people he has written
bad articles about in his paper,
and he finds it necessary to keep
his pistol on his office desk, as
he claims, to defend himself. It
is openly stated that his sheet has
created more talk in Cordele,
stirred up more stiife, engendered
more hard feeling, and, in fact,
the method of conducting his pa
per has done more as a hindrance
to Cordele’s growth and has be-

come a greater curse to
than any other thing in her
ten years’history. This is briefly
some of the history claimed to
have been made by Perry in Cor
dele since he rose to be editor of a
paper which, of course, placed him
more prominently before the pub
lic than lie would otherwise have
been.
Mr. Perry’s frieuds hope that
the charges made in Macou will
bn found to be not as bad as they
now appear, but the State claims
to have a strong case and that it
will be an easy matter to convict.

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicine* ?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel It a duty to say
a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would sa ve hours of suffering while
a physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Cliamber,
lain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by J.B

CURFEW ORDINANCE.
Be it ordained by the mayor and

Clerk, Mayor.
He who will bear watching is
the first to watch others.
County Court Adjourned.
Thecounty court deal adjourned Sat
urday. A good of business
was transacted last week, in fact
nearly every case except the “ille
gal voting” cases were disposed of
and there was a feeling of relief
among lawyers, judge, jurors and
witnesses. There has been noth
ing but court after court this year
in Dooly county and the treasury
is practically depleted.
\V. E. Smith of Cordele was al
lowed to pay $1,000 in settlement
for his five cases for violating the
local option law. J. B. Manuel
of Unadilla, convicted of the same
offense, received a fine of $75.
Judge Henderson gave him a light
er fine than he would have done
otherwise because it was his first
offense, and on account of the fact
that his father would be the maiu
sufferer in case of a heavy fine and
also on account of the young man’s
family. Joe A. Smith, for the
same offense, on account of his
physical condition, he fact that
he had stopped selling, his finan
cial condition and other extenua^
ting circumstances, was allowed
to pay cost in his case, and Judge
Henderson suspended judgment
during his good behavior.
The illegal voting cases will not
be taken up again until the su
preme court passes on one case
there pending, as all the other
cases ruling are depended upon their
in this case. Prospects are
bright for less courts in Dooly.
It’s your own fault if you use old
fashioned, greasy salves and lini
ments that soil your clothing and
offend your olfactories, when you
can get that very pleasant and stain
less liquid, Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptio.
