HE CORDELE SENTINEL
VOL. 12.
To Legislative Candidates,
Only a few more days remain
before the primary, and why not
have a general debate ?
We suggest that all the candi
dates for the legislature meet at
the opera house in Cordele and
each candidate make a speech.
We despise a dull time, and
will do all we can to advertise and
bring the voters to such a gather
ing. What do you say, gentlemen ?
MR. LEWIS AT HOME
To Look After His Race, His Letter to
the Contrary Notwithstanding.
Jadire Fort's Popular Race for Con
gress Increases Anxiety Among
tlie Lewis Supporters—Fort
Challenges Lewis For Joint
, Discussion.
E. B. Lewis, candidate against
Judge Allen Fort to succeed him
self in congress, arrived at his
home Montezuma last Saturday,
April 28th, and it is said will re
main until after the election.
His coming home was somewhat
of a surprise to some people who
had read one of those letters writ
ten by Mr. Lewis just fifteen days
before he arrived at home, for in
those letters Mr. Lewis said that he
would leave his own interests in
obeyance and remain ‘at his post,’
and that he would rely upon his
friends to look after his race. Just
why he abandoned the idea so soon
is not known, but it is known that
he came home, and that he was ac
tually at home just fifteen days
after writing that he would leave
his race in the hands of his friends.
It is possible he heard that the
people were talking that his time
he asked to go to congress was out,
or that he had made too poor a
record to go back, or that Fort
was making a winning race this
time. It is possible that these and
other equivalent facts reached his
ears. It is also possible that the
following lines from the Americus
Herald furnishes the correct rea
son why: Lewis has
Lige come home.
We wonder why, we wonder why;
He said he wasn’t, but he is here,
We wonder why, we wonder why.
Things don’t suit him quite we tear,
We wonder why, we wonder why.
He must scent deteat in the air,
And fort will heat him sure this year,
That is why, that is why.
The Sentinel told last week
that the friends of Mr. Lewis could
see gloom in the situation, and
predicted that Mr. Lewis would
leave “his post’.’ and come home.
A Lewis paper hooted at such a
thing, but the Sentinel was cor
rect.
Now that Mr. Lewis is at home he
has the privilege of accepting the
following challenge from Judge
Fort, which in justice to “his
much abused record” he should
accept:
Americus, Ga., May 1st, 1900.
Hon; E. B. Lewis, Montezuma, Ga.
Dear Sir : Having been informed
that you have returned to your home
and would probably remain until after
the 15th of Mav, 1 respectfully request
that you meet me in a joint discussion
of the issues involved in the present
congressional race in the third district.
Should von consent to this suggestion, friend who
I will be glad to name representative a
will confer with your Know
and arrange places and terms.
ing that your duties required have your
presence in Washington, 1 re
frained from extending this challenge
until you voluntarily came home
A^ery truly, Allen Fort.

Chamberlain’s Pain Balm would cast
out demons,' but it will cure rheu

this quick relief which it affords is
