movement thwarted
All The Property Owners Con
sent Except One. But Alas!
Without The Consent of
That One The Wall
Street Idea Van
ishes Away.
The conversion of the alley in
block eleven into a new street
will not convert, and the efforts
in this direction appear to have
all been in vain. It is said that
consent of all property owners ex
cept one was obtained, but with
out the consent of that one the
movement is no. go. All efforts,
however, in behalf ot the new
street have not entirely ceased, so
it is said, and there is still a fee
ble hope that the street may yet be
opened. It is suggested that all
the other property owners may see
enough m the movement for the
city and for themselves that they
may come together and buy out
the one, or make some other sat
isfactory arrangement.
It is to be hoped that this is true,
for the opening of this street
would wonderfully effect the ap
pearances of the city and would
add much to the value of central
business property and it would
undoubtedly be a big mistake not
to seize the present opportunity,
but, as stated above, it seems now
that the Wall Street is no go.
Jim Banyan Shot*
In Cordele last Friday afternoon
late Mr. John Ball, son of Mr. W.
H. Ball of Wenona, became in
volved in a difficulty with Jim
Banyan, a well known gentleman
of color. It is said that both were
under the influence of “blind
stuff” and while Jim was advanc
ing upon Ball with a hammer he
received three pistol balls from
Ball’s pistol, one took effect in
the arm, one in the left jaw, while
the third broke the right jawbone.
Jim was doing well at last ac
counts. Ball not yet arrested.

a reflection even remotely on
either of our county court officers;
in fact I understand that they
both favor such a court, and I
presume that they are not afraid
to risk their chances with the peo
ple. It was thought at first that
Cordele would oppose the estab
lishing of this court at Vienna
but after discussing it with a great
many people here, I have failed to
find a single man who will oppose
the bill if the grand jury’s recom

The Citf Cam V
AND THE ELECTION OF
Judge and Solicitor by a Direct
Vote of The People.
Why the Court Should be
Established, and What
It Will Accom
plish.
BY C. J. SHIPP.
It seems that our county is at
last in a fair way to secure a city
court. The last grand jury, after
carefully considering the subject,
made a recommendation that our
representatives introduce a bill to
establish one at Vienna with
county jurisdictions; they further
recommended that the judge and
solicitor of this court be elected
by vote of the people instead of
allowing the governor to appoint
whom he pleases. Under the ap
pointive system a and man without would
influence at home, who
not even have the courage to make
a race before the people, can easi
ly be imposed on a community if
he stands in with the powers that
be Once in an applied adjoining county
a young man to the gov
ernor of the state for the position
of solicitor of the county court; his
recommendations comprised a ma
jority of the leading citizens the of the
county; three-fourths of mem
bers of the bar wrote personal let
ters urging his appointment. The
gentleman who ran against him had
scarcely a dozen responsible men
to endorse him, but he had the ad
vantage of being a political friend
of the governor and on this ac
count the will of the majority of
the people was defeated ; the suc
cessful candidate based his race
entirely on the fact that a large
family influence of his in a differ
ent county had materially aided
the governor in his race. No one
can blame the young man for ex
erting an influence of this kind to
secure his appointment, and there
are very few people who would
blame the governor for appointing
his friend; but I think that all
people should condemn the sys
tem under which merit can be so
obscured, incompetency so ad
vanced and the popular will so
thwarted; I am in favor of a city
court rather than a county court
because I believe that great ex
pense can be saved by trying cases
that are now carried to the supe
rior court, but the feature of
electing the judge and solicitor by
the people is in my humble judge
ment of more importance to a free
people who do not wish to be dom
inated by corporate influences
the mere matter of expense.
Let the judges feel responsible to
rather than to a
Story of a Slave
To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich

free. He says: “My wife has
been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work.” This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melan
choly, headache, backache, faint

Week of Prayer.
This week is being oi served by
tiie Baptist church as a week of
prayer for Missions. Services are
being held every evening at 7:80.
The programs,consisting of prayer,
readings, addresses and special
music have been interesting and
well rendered.
To-night Deacon R. C. will read
a historical sketch of the local
church. To-morrow night the la
dies’ work will have special prom
inence and some interesting
prayers will be read by them. On
next Sunday the church will make
its annual offering for State Mis
sions, and it is hoped that every
member will make a liberal con
tribution to this worthy cause.
Death of Mr. S. T, Bridges.
Mr. 8. T. Bridges, after an ill
ness of two weeks with slow fever,
died at his home two miles west
of Wenona last Saturday morning
about 1 o’clock. He was conscious
up to the hour of his heath. The
deceased was about 42 years old,
was single and lived with a sister.
Mr. Bridges was a farmer and
highly esteemed by his neighbors
and friends. His remains were
interred Sunday morning at cedar
creek church.

The executive board of the
State Fair at Savannah, realizing
the importance of thoroughly ad
vertising the Fair, has selected
Mr. W. T. Christopher, an old
newspaper man of experience,
large state acquaintance and ex
pert advertiser, to travel over the
entire state within the next five
weeks, advertising, talking and
writing up the Fair. The Sen
tinel calls attention to a large
double column advertisement to
bo found in this issue, of the
State Fair, and a glance at the
same will convince that prepara
tions are being made for a great
success of the fair this year.

YES, WIDE OPEN!
City Authorities With Open Eyes
Are as Blind as a Bat.
1 his is Said to be The Con
ditions Existing in The
City of Cordele
To-Day.
Blind tigers with wide open eyes,
are said to be in Cordele to-day,
as bad, or worse, than ever before.
They are open and exposed to view,
except to the city authorities
whose business it is to see them,
but the authorities are as blind as
a bat, so said.
In short, the above is said to be
the conditions existing in the city
of Cordele to-day.
It took a shooting frolic to
start the discussion, but the shoot
ing took place and the discussion
started . John Ball, white, sent a
ball into Jim Banyan, colored,
(account elsewhere in the Sen
tinel), and the next morning the
News jumped onto blind tigers as
the cause, said there was one with
in 200 yards of the Methodist
church with wide open eyes. At
the Epwortli League Sunday af
ternoon, a Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union was organized
and blind tigers were then charged
to exist in Cordele with wide open
eyes.
So now. it seems that the tigers
are in Cordele—blind or open
eyed—it makes but little differ
ence, they are here, or else quite
a large number of people are mis
taken.
It looks kind ’o strange that the
public has to always find out that
the tigers exist before the officers
open their eyes to the situation,
but this is the situation ever exist
ing in Cordele.
It is slightly hoped that now,
the officers’ attention having been
directed to that which they should
have known, that the said officers
will open their own eyes, and close
those of the tigers.
