All the Property Owners On Block Eleven Have Consented Except One or Two. The idea, as suggested by The Setixel, of creating a new street, to be called “Wall Street” or by some other appropriate name, has evidently met with the approval of the property owners who will be af fected by the change. It is said that consent has been given by all interested with the possible excep tion of one or two parties, and that it is thought their consent will also be obtained. This is only true, how ever, with reference to the property owners on block 11, and if the street is to be extended through block 10, arrangements will have to be made some time in the future, pos sibly in the near future. The pro posed plan, as heretofore stated, is to extend the boundary lines of th e north ten lots on block 11, which is the first block from the depot as you go up town, 50 feet further north, which would fix the north end of said lots adjoining the waycross Air Line track, and the other end would front the new street. This arrange ment would also make the south ten lots in this block much more valu able, for the reason that the the rear of the south lots would front the new street, and buildings could be erected thereon. The plan, in other words, is to convert the 20 foot alley into a 50 or 60 foot street, which, by common consent, would probably be called “Wall Street.” The idea seems to be an excellent one, and there appears now to be little doubt but that Cordele will soon have a “Wall Street.” If you eat without appetite you need Prickly Ash Bitters.

BEST EQUIPPED JOB OFFICE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. /[PPLY fOR PRICES $1.00 A YEAR GUERRY’S SPEECH. BY C. J. SHIPP. A very respectable crowd greet ed Dupont Guerry at Vienna last Wednesday, and heard him urge his claim to gubernatorial distinc tion. His speech was made in the courthouse, during the noon re cess of the superior court and was about two hours in length, the greater part of which was confined to a discussion of prohibition, though some time was given to an arraignment of the lobbyists and the railroads’ dereliction in giv ing in their property at a less than its market valuation. His argument, for the most part, was clear, forcible and logical, though, in a few instances, he de scended to mere sophistry. Thus in answer to the frequently used argument of the whiskey men, that large revenue was derived key dealer, he said that the State and cities really received nothing in this way, as the dealer would give in his property for taxes for enough less to save this li cense, and the government would thereby lose what it collected by this license. However, I suppose that this was merely intended as a clap-trap, to catch the ignorant, as he is a man of really fine rea soning powers. His audience was sympathetic, being composed generally of pro hibitionists. He was loudly cheered when, during his speech, he referred to the Hon. J. M. Terrell and Pope Brown as being Frank Potts’ local option ists. He illustrated the ridiculous ness of Major Estill’s candidacy by telling a story. He said that once in one of the North Georgia counties there lived a man who was a chronic candidate for gov ernor, and that on one occasion, while making a speech in the in terest of his candididacy, he made the remark: “Friends and and fellow-citizens, I don’t care anything about being governor, but the office has been pursuing me for over fifteen years,” when a very uncouth individual from the audience arose and said, “Mis ter 1 you are shore gaining on that job.” Mr. Guerry’s speech was, on the whole, very entertaining. He has a rich voice and magnetic person ality, and displays a fine choice of words. In fact, he is admi rably equipped as a political stump speaker, and I dare say that there are few men in Georgia who can handle him in debate; he is also valiant for what he considers the truth, and but for occasional sophistry, I have never seen greater candor in a public speaker. The people of this county I be lieve to be in thorough accord with him in his suggestions as to requiring railroads to pay a larger proportion of taxes, and before it was he rumored a few days made his speech that he would condemn the companies giving of passes by the railroad to mem bers of the judiciary of the State, but, for some reason, he did not refer to this great evil at all, so it seems that even Dupont Guerry is not brave enough to antagonize this, the greatest of all curses in Georgia politics. Joe Hall, or “Oom Joe,” as lie is frequently called, seems to be the only man before the people who has the courage to condemn this bidding on the part of the railroads for the favor of the courts. Mr. Guerry will get a good vote though the county is still mission ary ground, and I think that Ter rell and Brown have quite as much following as he. In fact, I think that Terrell has some better fol lowing than either of the others. FOR SALE —Houston Ryals County Seed Rye. J. B. – Co. Subscribe for the Cordele Sicsr-. vinel.
