Place Your Ad. through The Sentinel. VOL. 14, NO. 14. Is 1 CD 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.

This is not intended as 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 mendation to elect the officers by the people is regarded. The county court has saved the people a great deal of money in the way of jail fees, court expenses, etc, The city court will save more. Let us have it.

CORDELE, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1901. 1 PiWR 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 tells how such a slave was made 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 ing and dizzy spells.

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. Mr. W. T. Chirstopher. 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. Veterans’ Reunion, October 23 - 24 , Macon, Georgia.

The coming fair will be much greater. i II 1 i M 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.
