THE CITY COURT.
The Vienna Progress last week
contained an editorial on and
against, the city court for Cor*
dele. As to whether the
ot ... the contents . . ol ... the
was ignorant,
hill, or whether it tried to deceive
the public as to . the .. amount m of „ lit!- .....
gation from Cordele, we leave the
Progress to answer the Cordele
Morning Call.
The Progress asks four
and lays more stress upon the
fourth, which is: “is it right?
This is the main question alter
all. Is ;it constitutional and
MORALLY RIGHT, KoR ONE SECTION,
EOR CONVENIENCE OR SELFISH GAIN TO
TAX ANOTHER SECTION WITHOUT THEIR
(X. •nsent?” This great question No.
I, asked by the Progress about the
Cordele city court, and in which it is
attempted to convey a negative
answer, must have eminated
from a great, brain, a brain
capable of figuring out only twenty
eight court eases from Cordele per
annum against one hundred and
eighty eases from the balance of the
county.
Lets take ono case from Cordele
last spring, out of which there
sprang one hundred and fifty cases
from Cordele— The municipal con
test case. Discard all other cases, if
you please, from Cordele this year,
for these are practically sufficient to
balance those one hundred and
eighty cases from all the balance of
the county claimed by the Progress.
Wo will not bother with timo lost in
staying in Vienna waiting for cases
to be called, hut merely call atten
tion to the cost to the people of Cor
dele in going to and from Vienna to
have an opportunity to reach just
one man, a judge, to try the cases.
What is the result ? Three hundred
witnesses per day paying fifty cents
railroad fare, fifty cents for dinner,
twenty-five cents for dinner, a, cold
lunch for dinner or no dinner at
Three hundred witnesses at one
dollar per day expense going to Vi
enna and ret ui’n for six days is $1,800
Out of the same affair about one
hundred and fifty cases are now
pending in the county court, for
legal voting. If they are ever dis
posed of you can safely count on
each party spending three dollars ex
tra because of having to go to Vi
enna. One hundred and fifty cases
at three dollars each is $450.00 which
added to the $1,800 makes a grand
total of $2,250 expense to the people
of Cordele to get to and from Vi
enna.
In the words of our esteemed con
I temporary, the Vienna Progress, the
Sentinel asks “is it right?” A city
i of 5000 people, with a third of the
1 voting population of the entire coun
ity, paying one-fifth the ad valorem
(taxes of the entire county, furnish
ing about half the litigation of the
t entire county, lias to be bled for
1 $2,250 expense money to read) a
town eight miles distant, just one
fourth the size of Cordele. “Is it
constitutional or moralLright, ” for
one small town, * ‘for convenience or
-elfish gain” to insist upon forcing
another four times its size to go
there to try her home litigation?
The city court bill for Cordele pro
vides a suitable place for holding the
eourt; provides to try the business
of the Cordele district, provides, in
short, for the protection of the peo
ple of Cordele without one dollar ex-
sof the coun
cil course it is
right, Brother Progress, with theac
cent on the right.
Our neighboring paper may he
against t ho people of Cordele and
their rights, in this matter, it may
bo able to deceive some of the people
with its “28 to ISO theory” but it
can’t fool the people here who want
their rights only, in this matter.
Right will prevail sooner or later,
and the sooner certain individuals
realise that they should lay aside
their selfishness in this matter the
better it will be for them.
A TEXAS WONDER.

The editor of t he Vienna Progress
has been called to task by the edi
tors of the Cordele Morning Call for
trying to predjudice agninst, the city
court for Cordele by trying to pull
the wool over the faces of the
“boys,” claiming that Cordele
furnishes only twenty-eight cases in
Dooly courts to 180 from the rest of
the county. It is claimed by the
Call, that during the last eleven
months Cordele has furnished the
bulk of the litigation, both civil and
criminal for the county, Verily
somebody has either prevaricated or
else allowed someone to impose will
ful misrepresentations upon them.
What say you Progress? Call!
i O V EIt NOUS MESSAGF..
A message from Governor Cand
ler to the Georgia legislature last
week, jnade at the request of the
Fulton county grand jury, states that
the receiverships of the present day
are alarming. That men licensed to
practice law and their paid agents
and coadjutors, have in many in
stances brought unnecessary ruin
upon corporations and individuals.
“It is true, too, that when corpo
rations and individuals are wrecked
nefarious methods of these
enemies of society and of the bind
ness of the country, the creditors
usl1:ll1v suffer with the debtor. He
most frequently at the end of the
litigation, gets nothing, while the
debtor and his children are reduced
to penury, the entire estate being
consumed in court costs, receivers’
salaries and lawyers’ fees. The
court costs are fixed by statute, but
the salaries of receiyers, sometimes
two or three in number, when one
would be better, and the fees of the
lawyers, frequently a score or more
in a sin*le case, are fixed by the
court, on the testimony of other law
yers as to the value of the services
performed in the case by their pro
fessional brethren.
“The result has been that exhorb
itant. salaries have been allowed to
receivers, and often fees out of all
proportion to the work done, have
been allowed to the lawyers repre
senting the various interests involv
ed in the suit.
“These evils have assumed such
magnitude that they demand a rem
edy, and I heartily concur in the
recommendation of this grand jury,
and earnestly advise that a Jaw be
enacted requiring that at the time of
a for injunction and re
ceiver against any corporation, firm
or individual, the plaintiff shall enter
into bond with good and ample se
curity, payable to defendant, in an
amount sufficient to cover all dam
ages sustained and expense incurred
in defending the suit in case the al
legations are not proven and the suit
is unsuccessful.”

Governor.

SURE CUKE FOR CROUP.
Twenty-ttve Years’ Construe Use
Without a Failure.
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject
to that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at
tack. Following this hoarseness is
peculiar rough cough. If Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy is given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after thecroupy cough appears,
j t w iR prevent the attack. It is used
in many thousands of homes in this
hroad land, and never disappoints
the anxious mothers. \N e have yet
to learn of a single instance in which
it has not proved effectual. No
other preparation can show such a
record—twenty-five years’ constant
use without a‘ failure. For sale by
