HON. J. C. TRACY.
Will Introduce Two Important Local
Bills—What Mr, Tracy 1 Says. 3
As wilLbe seen in a ’‘notice of
local legislation” published else
where iu the Sentinel, at least
two bills will be introduced at
this session of the Georgia legis
lature which will materially effect
Cordele. One ot these is to be
entitled “an act to amend an act
creating a system of public schools
for the city of Cordele, so as to
change the manner of electing a
board of trustees for the public
schools of said city, to define their
powers and duties, also to further
amend charter of Cordele con
cerning election laws, and for
other purposes.”
It is understood that the object
of the bill under this notice will
be to have the trustees elected by
the people instead of by the trus
council. tees subject It to is approval also understood of city
to be an object of the bill that in
municipal elections the election
managers shall withhold certifi
cates of election for five days.
These are said to be the only
changes to be made under this
notice to amend the city charter,
although under the notice other
changes can be incorporated in
the bill touching elections.
The other bill is to be entitled
“an act to establish the city court
of Cordele in Dooly county, to de
fine its jurisdiction and powers,
to provide for the appointment of
a judge and solicitor and other
officers thereof, and to define their
powers and duties; to provide for
pleading and practice and mo
tions for new trial therein, and
writs of errors therefrom, and for
other purposes.” The object of
this bill is thoroughly stated in
the notice. The fact that Cordele
furnishes such a large amount of
litigation in Dooly county and has
to many inside
of the Cordele district that

should have the city
Practically everybody in
it is claimed, favors this
and it is freely stated that
large majority of the citizens in
the county have reached the con
that the establishment of
court would not only save
to Cordele citizens, but
that the county treasury would

WHAT MR. TRACY SAYS.
Representative Tracy did not
hand the notices to the Sentinel,
but they were handed in for pub
lication by entirely different par
ties. After they were handed in,
however, the natural presumption in
was that as Mr. Tracy lived
Cordele he would be asked to in
troduce the bills, and so a repre
sentative of the Sentinel called
on him to get his views.
u Yes, I have been requested to
introduce two bills.” said Mr.
Tracy. “1 have heard but little
as yet in favor of introducing a
bill to change the method of elect
ing trustees of the Public schools,
but if I am convinced of the wisdom
of such a change, and convinced
that our people want the change,
I will take pleasure in introduc
ing the bill and push for its pas
sage.” reference to amending the
“In
charter,” he said, “so as to have
five days’ intervene before the
electiou managers deliver the
certificates of election to the suc
cessful candidates, I am convinc
ed that nearly everybody wishes
this change. As many belonging
to one political side as those who
belong to the other are in favor of
this change, and believing that
this change meets the approval of
practically everybody, I have
concluded to introduce a bill to
make the change. ’
Mr. Tracy’s attention was also
called to the fact that notice was
given of intention to introduce a
bill asking for a city court for

in Cordele favors the city court
and 1 find that there are a large
number of people who live in
different sections of Dooly county
who have given the city court
matter some thought and consid
eration who are of the opinion
that this court should be estab
lished in Cordele. Tin bill should
be very broad, and give the very
fullest jurisdiction in order that
the wisdom of the measure should
be fully tested. I believe there
exists a large sentiment in the
county and an overwhelming sen
timent In Cord<-le favorable to the
city court, and I am willing to
introduce a bill for the couit pro
vided the bill drawn gives as full
and complete powers as those
given to any other city court in
this state.’’
So it appears that at least these
two measures will be intro
duced at this session of the legis
lature, and they may go through
without opposition, or there may
be opposition, but none has
yet come to light.

A Thousand Tongues
Could not express the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard
St., Philadelphia, Pa., when she
found that Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption had completely
cured her of a hacking cough that
for many years had made life a bur
den. All other remedies and doctors
could give her no help, but she says
of this Royal Cure: “It soon re
moved the pain in my chest and I
can now sleep soundly, something I
can scarcely remember doing before.
I feel like sounding its praises
throughout the universe.” So will
every one who tries Dr. King’s New
Discovery for any trouble of the
Throat, Chest or Langs. Price 50c.
and $1.00. Trial bottles free at any
Drug Store: every bottle guaran

After an Automobile.
The attractions for the carnival
are getting in good shape. A
good deal of work has already
been done on the place of amuse
ments, and the great free show is
assuming proportions. One of
the committee on attractions was
heard to remark that in all proba
bility there would be on hand an
automobile. Now, that is a good
suggestion, for an automobile
would in itself prove quite an
attraction to a large number of
people.
A Frightful Blunder
Will often cause a horrible Burn,
Scald, Cut or Bruise. Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve, the best in. the world,
will kill the pain and promptly Fever heal
it. Cures Old Sores, Sores,
Ulcers, Boils, Felons, Corns, all Skin
Eruptions. Best Pile cure on earth.
Only 25 cents, a box. Cure guar
anteed. Sold at all Drug Stores.
Committees at Work.
The Sentinel gave last week a
full and complete list of many of
the different committees appoint
ed by the Cordele Carnival Asso
ciation. Most of those belonging
to the committees are at work,
and the carnival is moving right
along. Now let a few others
begin to do their part and find
that just a little work from all
will answer to make the show a
complete success.

New Postoffice Building.
Postmaster Hall has an enquiry
from the supervising architect of
, ^| le treasury D. department, at. Wash
information in gtOu, C., relative to certain
of looking to the orec
tion a postoffice building in
Cordele. The information asked
for is the cost of a suitable loca
tion, and full particulars as to
tho general amount of business
done by the Cordele office.
It is altogether probable thaf
the time is nor. far distant that
Cordele. this building will be erected in
Kobbeil the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as
follows: “I was in a most dreadful
condition. My skin was almost yel,
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides
no appetite—gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunate
ly, a friend advised trying “Electric
Bitters:” and, to my great joy and
s orprise, the first bottle made a de
cided improvement. I continued
their use far three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim.” No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cts., guar
anteed. at any Drug Store.
$107 Offered for Cordele
Bonds.
In 1898-4 it was a hard matter
to dispose of Cordele city six per
cent, bonds for $90. Within the
last eight or ten months some
eighteen or twenty thousand dol
lars of them have chauged hands
at $106. Today an offer of $107
is standing open for Cordele city
bonds, and there appears to be
none for sale at this price.
