A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.
THIS WAS THE VERDICT OF THOUSANDS
WHO V1STED CORDELE’S CARNIVAL.
The City Enthusiastic Over the Success of This Car
nival-—A Greater One Next Year.
Far beyond the expectations of
those who most ardently advosat
ed holding the Carnival in Cor
dele last week, was the success of
the great free show. Not only
were the thousands of visitors
agreeably surprised at Cordele’s
ability to hold a Carnival, but
hundreds were heard to say that
the mammoth show was anperior
to any they had seen in this sec
tion, Americua and Macon not ac
cepted.
Reaching a half mile in length,
led by the Fitzgerald band, which
furnished excellent music, follow
ed in mid-line by a band com
posed ot home talent and mem
bers of the Spooner Dramdtio Co.,
pressing its way with difficulty
through the immense throng of
people, standing on Seventh
street and on Eleventh Avenue,
the trades display attracted not
only admiration and praise from
the public present, but their
amazement and wonder that Cor
dele did it. Each display tried to
outdo the other, and yet it would
take a committee capable of ren
dering a close decision to pick the
best one. It would take skill and
ability as a writer, and more space
than can be spared in the Sentinel
to attempt to give a pen picture
of each display separately, and
therefore it is only attempted to
give the names of those enterpris
ing persons who had the larger dis
plays in the parade: The fire
company, three displays; Tomlin
Harris Machine Co., Cordele Sash
Door and Lumber Co., Frank
Teuber’s carriage shop, Hill Gro

The plaza performances in the
afternoon and evening, the cake
walk by the school children and
the fireworks at night deserve
special mention. Prof. Erhart,
the promoter and director of the
Carnival, as well as the commit
tees who aided in the Carnival,
deserve thanks for their work.
The fact has been thoroughly
demonstrated that Cordele knows
how to give a Carnival and the
reputation made this year will be
more than doubled another, for
those who were fearful of 1 his
undertaking are now enthusiastic
and will take hold another year
and pull together for success, for
the advertisement to Cordele and
Dooly county, and for even a
larger crowd of visitors than was
in Cordele last Thursday and

FORT AND LEWIS.
Botb Candidates for Oongrew in Oor
dele During the Carnival
The Prospeota Are That There Will
Be Qnlte a Lively Race Between
These Two Gentlemen.
Congressman E. B. Lewis of
Montezuma, and Judge Allen Fort
of Americus, were in Cordele last
week during the carnival. It is
thoroughly understood that the
former will be a candidate for re
election to congress and it is just
as well understood that Judge
Fort is squarely in the race. Both
were losing no time meeting their
old friends and in making new
ones. Possibly no two men are
better known to the people of the
Third congressional district than
are these two, and the heated race
they made three years ago for
congress will not soon be for
gotten. Mr. Lewis was the
V,
CONGRESSMAN E. B. LEWIS.'
successful candidate at that time,
and is now serving his second
term. The friends of Congress
man Lewis claim that he is
stronger now than he was then,
and that his chances are better for
a re-election to a third term than
ever before. The friends of Judge
Fort are equally sanguine that
now is the accepted time for him
to make the race and that he will
be a sure winner. The friends of
Lewis say that he has not only
made a good record so far but that
he has represented the district
just long enough to get the gener
al run of things and that the
people should recognize this fact
and return him to congress.
The friends of Fort say that h e
has had a life long experience in

public affairs and that he is amply
able to hitch in harness anywhere
at any time and the fact that
Lewis has had four years is one of
the very reasons why Fort should
now be elected.
Be all this as it may, both can
didates are taking time by the
forelock in meeting the people
and letting them know that they
are in the race and iu to stay, and
judging from what could be seen
in Cordele last week neither will
allow the grass to grow under
their feet between now and the
primary which will not lake
place before the summer of next
year.
That the race will be a lively
one there seems to be no doubt,
but to make any bind of a pre
diction this early would seem but
foolishness.
Death of Miss Lizzie Holder.
Miss Lizzie Holder, aged 05
years, died of paralysis, after
three or four days’ illness, Sun
day, night at 8 o’clock, at the res
idence of her sister, Mrs, M. N.
Haynes, corner 9th avenue and
6th street. Her remains were in
terred in the cemetery Monday
afternoon at 8 o’clock, Rev. J.
W. Weston, pastor of the Meth
odist church, performing the
burial services at the grave.
Miss Holder was a good, Chris
tian lady, a member of the Meth
odist chuich, and was much loved
by all who knew her. The be
reaved sister has the sympathy of
her friends.

COMMISSIONER EASON.
Passed Through ('ordele Oast Tues
day En Route to Atlanta.
Hon. Thomas Eason, of the
State Prison Commission, passed
through Cordele last Tuesday en
route to Atlanta. One of the last
official acts of Gov. \V. Y. Atkin
son was the appointment of Mr.
Eason to this position, and it goes
without Baying that it was one of
the very best appointments he
ever made. For twenty years Mr.
Eason was solicitor general of the
superior court of the Ocmulgee
circuit, which position he was
holding at the time of his appoint
ment to the office he-is now hold
ing. Mr. Eason’s home is at
McRae, Ga., but he is no better
known there and no more popular
than among the people of Cordele,
who are always glad to give him
a hearty shake of the hand.
The prison commissioners of
Georgia, under the new law, are
showing to the people of Georgia
and other states that the legisla
ture did the proper thing when

they inaugurated the present cgn
' edicts,
tte dispoaitio. of
as to those lured out and as to the
state farm, are very gratifying
and seems to have met with the
full approval of the people.
Commissioner Eason was ap
parently enjoying his usual good
health. The rush of his official
duties would only allow him to
stop in Cordele between trains,
but during even this short stay
his friends were glad to see him.
