Has the largest weekly circula tion in Dooly. VOL. 12. 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. x Narrow Escape.

D. HEARN, rm -V 1 Cordele, Ga. Wl iV/j l Sentinel. 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- CORDELE. GA., FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1899. 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.

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.

Meeting adjourned. W. W. Shipp, G. C. Cutts, 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.
