PREACHED ON OUR POLITICS.
Bev. J- W. Weston, at the Methodist
Ohnrch Last Sunday Night.
Last Sunday night at the First
Methodist church Rev. J. W.
Weston preached a sermon on the
political situation in Cordele. He
offered good advice to both fac
tions, whether the defeated office
seekers and the present office
holders receive or reject his words
or not As we haven’t space to
print the sermon verbatim, we
give a synopsis:
Among other things, the rever
end gentleman said: “I advocate
adherence to government as an
ordinance of God, honor and re
spect and sympathy for those in
authority because they are the
representatives of government,
and because God’s word demands
it. I Would not ask either faction
—the Scaudrett supporters or
Mr. Cutts’ friends—to give up
its political organization; I advo
cate different political organiza
tions as I advocate different de
nominations in the Church. I do
not ask either side to give up its
political principles. To ask this
would be entering really into the
arena of politics, and this 1 shall
not do in the pulpit. It is not
now a question whether or not
Mr. Cutts holds the office lawfully
but he is the de facto mayor of
this city—the Supreme Court has
said so. I earnestly ask the Scan
drett men, for the good of Cordele
and for the welfare of our citizens,
lay aside prejudices: it is the
Christian duty of every good citi
zen to rally to the authorities that
be and help them to do their duty
for the sak– of the commercial,
social and religious interests of
the town.” The preacher then
warned the piesent city officials—
Mr. Cutts and his aldermen—to
walk in the straight path of duty;
not only because it is right, but
that the eye of criticism is fastened
upon them by the Moral Element
party.
This sermon delivered by the
sincere pastor of the Methodist
church contained much food for
thought, and the politicians, the
office holders and the office seekers
in Cordele will do well to review
it in their memory.
As to Mayor Cutts and the al
dermen, they do not need to be
watched; they will attend to the
affairs of the city without fear or
favor.

„ Negro Man In Her Room.
Report has reached Cordele that
a negro man was found in the
room of a white girl near Rich
wood one night this week. It. ap
pears from reports that the negro
was in the room when the girl
struck a match, and he make his
escape through a window. Dogs
were put on his trail and the nc
gro was soon caught. It is said
that he denies the charge brought
against him, and he has been put
in jail at Vienna to await further
investigation.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot, for
years by the chains of diseas is the

Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells
how such a slave was made free. He
says: “My wife has been so help
less for five years that could uot turn
over iu bed alone. After useing (wo
bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully imprvoed and able to
do her own work.” This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This mira

The Excursion Didn’t Run.
The Georgia Southern – Florida
railway didn’t run the excursion
train on Wednesday to carry spec
tators to the execution of Alabama
Red, the negro who committed
murder at Beech Haven a few
months ago.
And the people here have reached
the coriclusion that Alabama Red’s
life is not yet near to Death’s
door. Ed Russell, colored, re
ceived a letter from Red last week
saying that a new trial had been
granted and he entertains a hope
of escaping the gallows.
“What’s in a name ?” The word
“bitters” does notalwaye indicate
something harsh and disagreeable.
Prickly Ash Bitters is proof of
this. It cleanses, strengthens and
regulates the system thoroughly,
yet it is so pleasant the most deli
cate stomach will uot object to it.

Estimates and Specification Ready, and
Work Will Begin Right Away.
Superintendent. Grady, of the
G. 8. <fc F railroad, was in Cordele
one day this week and in conver
sation he spoke very encouraging
ly of the uew union depot for Cor
dele. He said that estimates and
specifications had been made for
a handsome depot building and
that as soon as the G. – A. road
acquiesces in the same that work
would begin. This is very grati
fying to Cordels and to the trav
eling public generally who find
occasion to stop over in our city.
Cordele has long since deserved
a handsome union depot, and she
has been too modest to be always
fussing with the railroads for not
giving us one, and the roads seem
to have appreciated this fact as
well as the fact that the travel to
and from Cordele demands and
warrants commodious depot facil
ities and they propose to give it
to us. In this connectiou it may
be of interest to our readers to
know that the G. S. – F. railroad
sells more tickets at Cordele thau
at any other point between Macon
and Palatka, Fla., and even more
tickets in point of number than
at Macon. This is also true with
the G. –. A. road between Savan«
nah and Montgomery, Ala., with
the exception of Americus which
sella practically the same number
as Cordele. The A. – N. railroad
also sells a large number of tickets
at Cordele, and since this road put
on their midday passenger train
and makes connection with the
other four passengers which meet
at Cordele it is doing, a hustling
passenger business.
All of these facts speak for Cor
dele as a raiload centre, and the
roads have reached the conclusion
that Cordele deserves a handsome
ten thousand dollar depot and are
acting on their own motive aud
purpose to give it with the least
possible delay. The new depot
will be located in the south-east
corner of the junction of the G. –
A. and the G. S. – F. roads, will
have a neat shed projecting over
both lines of roads and will other
wise have all coveniences and ac
commodations to satisfy a travel
ing public. Every one will rejoice
when they see the work begin and
thanks are in order to all these
roadg when the building is com
pleted.

FINANCE COMMITTEE’S REPORT, FOR
SECOND QUARTER, 1899.
We, the Finance Committee, beg
leave to report, that after days of
careful research we have checked
> submit the
up each officer, and re
port of the Clerk and Treasurer,
showing the condition on June 80,
1899.
We find the Clerk and Treas
urer’s books kept neatly and cor
rectly, having proper vouchers for
all money paid out and stubbs for
all collected.
The Mayor’s docket shows that
he is active in disposing of all
cases, and the fines are nearly all
collected. We recommend that
all the unpaid fines be collected in
at once. We would recommend
that where one is fined, that the
officer in charge either collect at
once before the party leaves the
council chamber or get such se
curity that will insure the prompt
payment of all fines.
We find that about $500.00 has
already been expended on the
streets and we think that if not so
much care had been taken on cer
tain streets and more work had
been put ou other streets, that the
public interest would have been
better subserved and less fault
finding from the general public.
We recommend that the officers
in charge of collecting street tax
be as vigilant as possible and see
that no one escapes.
We feel it our duty in looking
over the affairs of the city, to
make some suggestions which we

commend that the G. S.–F. , , R. R.
be notified to place sewer-pipe
sufficient to carry off the water
coining down 9th avenue and cross
ing the railroad. Also, we urge
the necessity of the Union Depot
connecting with the sewerage
system of the city as a sanitary
measure, and if they fail to com
ply with the request within ten
days, then, in that eveut. the city
have the work done and charge it
to proper persons.
We recommend that work on
streets be commenced at once, as
we find some of the streets in bad
repair.
