In a few hours he returned saying
the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,

COL THOMPSON ANNOUNCES.
He Will Make the Eace for the Leg"
Mature.
He is a Strong Man ami Will Make an
Able ReprexentaTive.
Col. W. S. Thompson, of this
city, was interviewed by our
reporter this week, and said he
would be a candidate for repre
sentative from Dooly for the leg
islature Col. Thompssn has for
some time past been considering
the matter, and has concluded to
make the race. Several friends
throughout the comity have been
urging him to enter the race for
the legislature, and they have
prevailed upon him to do so.
He says he does not consider
that the people of Dooly county
owe him anything in the way of
office, but that because of the
great importance of the next leg
islature of Georgia, and of the
fact that of so many important
measures to be brought before
that body at the next session, he
believes he could be of much ser
vice to the people of his county.

COL. W. S. ilftOMPBON.
Col. Thompson has been hon
ored by the people of this county
once, and he having a wide ac
quaintance with the leaders that
will most likely occupy seats in
the next house, he believes that
he could render effective service
to his people in shaping matters
that are certain to come up be
fore the legislature, and which
will vitally affect this particular
section of the state.
It is true that the most intelli
gent member cannot serve his
constituency as well the first time
in either house as he can the sec
ond. It takes time for a member
to become acquainted with the
situation, or informed among
those who exercise much influ
ence in the shaping of legislation
in the state.
Because of this fact, Col.
Thompson believes be is well
qualified, having been a member
of the senate, to take an active
hand in the important measures
that are sure to come up at the
next sesaisn of the legislature.

Mr. Jones is an experienced buyer,
and will be sure to select patterns
and styles that will surpass anything
yet brought to tliis’market.
INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Col. W. A. Hawkins, representing
fifteen complainants filed an equity
bill before Judge Littlejohn this
week asking that the Board of Health
be enjoined from locating pest
houses at the junction of Third
street and Ninth Avenue. The
plaintiffs allege that they live in a
radius of from sixty-five feet to 200
yards of said location, and that they
would be irreparably damaged, etc.
Col. J. T. Hill, representing the hoard
of health, filed answer that the
Board acted after mature delibera
tion, and after consulting the best
medical authorities. Judge Little
john reviewed at some length the
rights of both plaintiffs and defend
ants and passed an order refusing
the injunction and allowing the pest
houses to remain as located by the
board of health. Col. Hawkins says
the case will be carried to the su
preme court.
NO. 36
IS IT SMALLPOX?
It is, Says Soma of the Cordele
Physicians About the Disease.
Othero Call it by the Naiuo of “Im
petlxo,” »r a “Skin IMiiwie,"
Both neltix Contagion*.
There is a disease in Cordele.
It is a contagious disease. The
Seninel will not misrepresent it.
The facts will pot be suppressed
nor the disease exaggerated. To
suppress the facts might endanger
life, and to exaggerate matters
would tend to destroy business.
Some of the doctors call the
disease smallpox, while others
of them call it “Impetigo,’’ or a
“skin disease.” They ^1 say
it is more or less contagions. They
say that from their information it
is the same disease that has, and
is existing in other localities
Some patients who are well of the
disease deny that they have had
smallpox. A large majority who
have not had the disease say that,
they know it is smallpox, and
that they don’t want the disease.
Under these conditions the Board
of Health took matters in charge.
The board said everybody must
be vaccinated. This is simple. It
is a mere matter of preventative
and precaution. If no good is
done no harm is done. Forced
vacoination is now in order and
all cases arenyw isolated.
If any other localities have an
idea that Cordele is a smallpox
death hole, or that this “break
ing out” disease is any worse here
than is the same disease elsewhere,
then those localities are sadly
mistaken. Our Board of Health
is going upon the idea of taking
the disease in hand, by whatever
name you want to call it, and if
possible stamp it out. upon the
idea that “an ounce df preven
tion is worth a pound of cure.”
The Board desires to do only
what is considered a duty to the
Board, the town and the commu
nity. The public schools have
suspended for two weeks; the
Dooly County Teachers’ Institute
has been postponed for a month,
and Dooly Superior Court has
taken a two week’s recess, It is
hoped that in that time quiet will
be restored. In fact more publicity
has been given already than the
facts warrant. The plain facts in
a nut shell are, that the Cordele
authorities, by vaccination and by
isolating cases, are earnestly en
deavoring to put an end to a more
less contagious “breaking out’
disease, now existing in Cordele,
and for some months past, and
even now, is existing in other
neighboring localities, and they
are doing their utmost to stamp
it out of Cordele now and for
good.
