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. ’ Y 1 . J \ :.a. ip 4 WU n – K \ 'sflr' % \ 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.

Jones, chief clerk at Hind – Church well’s big depart ment store of this place, will leave in a few days for New York, where he will spend several weeks selecting the handsomest stock of spring this and summer goods ever brought to market 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. A Card From Mr. Harris. Editor Sentinel. —For some time it has been currently report ed that there has been a case of smallpox in my family, Now while this report has been denied time and again, it seems that some lovers of gossip insist upon the truth of the report. of saying Allow me this method it is absolutely false.
