FROM VALDOSTA, OA.
An Evidence of Cordele’s Worth
As a Distribution Center.
The Lumber Interests of
the Hutchinson Lumber
– Supply Co., is Back
in Cordele.
The lumber business of the
Hurthinson Lumber – Supply Co.,
has been moved back to Cordele.
For the past several months their
large lumber business has been
carried on at Valdosta, to which
city it was moved from Cordele.
The entire force that conducted
this branch of the business has
already returned, and Cordele will
in future remain the permanent
headquarters from which same
will be conducted.
The Hutchinson Lumber – Sup
ply Company is one of the largest
concerns that conducts a general
mill supplies, hardware, buggies,
wagons and lumber business in
this section and the fact that the
above step has been taken speaks
a great deal for Cordele as a dis
tribution center.
Mr. W. B. Hutchinson, a capi
talist of Michigan City, Indiania,
is president of the Hutchinson
Lumber – Supply Co. He has
been in Cordele and Valdosta to
gether, for the past two or three
weeks, and in conversation with a
Sentinel reporter with reference
to moving his lumber business
from Valdosta back to Cordele,
said: “It was a mistake in the
outset to have moved our lumber
business to Valdosta. Cordele is
a much better point for us to car
ry on this business and. of course,
this is for moving back 1
our reason
to Cordele,”
“It is my observation and it is
now my experience” continued
Mr. Hutchinson, “that Cordele
connot be excelled by any other
town in southwest Georgia as a
business center. The new railroad,
union depot and much building
going on, only go to strengthen
my faith in Cordele’s great future.
And by the way, I would like to
see that new street opened up
that your paper is talking about”
—to which the Sentinel reporter
said, amen, and bid the capitalist
boodbye. Cordele back home
welcomes
the force that conducts the lum
ber business of the Hutchinson
Lumber – Supply Co.
The company will still conduct
a branch hardware Jstore at Val
dosta. for a while, at least.

ing illness, died at his home on
12th avenue at 4 o’clock Monday
afternoon. He died of a compli
cation of troubles, congestion of
the brain and stomach, and later
typhoid fever.
Mr. Sims was a young man,
manager of the Cordele Ice Com
pany, came from Newnan to Oor
dele some three years ago and had
many friends here. He was a hard
worker and his close application
to business probably inured to
his physical disadvantage.

AS TO BLIND TIGERS.
Against LocaiOption and
Dispensaries as a Complete
Solution to The Whole
Question and a Panacea
For the Liquor Evil.
Why, Etc.
bv c. J. SHIPP.
A great deal has been said by
the local press recently, about the
illegal sale of whiskey in Cordele.
It is charged that despite the vigi
lance of the officers there are sev
eral real healthy tigers getting in
their work among us; this evil is
not confined to Cordele, but we
hear of it in almost every couuty
in the state where the legal sale of
the ardent is prohibited. The
grand jury of Mouroe county re
cently returned a number of true
bills against prominent citizens
of Forsyth for violation of the
prohibition law. In Americus, Ga-,
it is said that the sale of whiskey
is so open that a stranger can buy
it; the same is true of every other
prohibition town in the state.
A number of remedies have been
suggested to prevent this great
evil; the most unique one comes
to me from Dr. C.N. Howard, Jr.,
of Cusseta, Ga. In a letter to me
a tew days ago he says that under
the present law prohibition is a
failure, but suggests that if a law
was made making it a crime for
a man to buy whiskey from a blind
tiger, that they would not be pat
ronized, and that prohibition
would then be successful. Well,
this plan might work, but it
strikes me that it would only
make it harder to secure evidence
against the man who made the il
legal sale; however, I have no
doubt but that it would keep a
great many people from buying it.
The plan that I would suggest
for breaking up these tigers 'is for
the legislature to create dispen
saries all over the country; let
them be well regulated so that no
minor or drunken man can pur
chase from them, and let the pro
fits go to educate the poor child
ren of the state. Let the dispen
sary be kept by a man of good
character and require him to give
bond just as our postmasters do,
and there is no reason why it
shonld not be as well regulated as
our post offices are. There are
several of them in the state and
all of them have proved profita
ble. Those in South Carolina,not
withstanding the charges of defal
cation in the head officers, are on
a splendid paying basis and have
considerably reduced the taxes of
the state.
It strikes me that if we rid the
country of the barroom evil that
either dispensaries or blind tigers
are then certain successors.
In our own city of Cordele the
blind tigers have been a source of
trouble and vexation from the be
ginning, but if we could get a dis
pensary there would be sufficient
trade to create a profit that would
pay all of the school tax, and in a
short while reduce ad valorem tax
to one per cent, besides leaving
money in the treasury to pay off
the outstanding bonds as they ma- We
ture. Let us have kill a dispensary.
have tried to out blind tigers,
but failed, and a dispensary will
kill them out.

In Memoriam.
On the 18th of Sept. 1901, Hugh
Paul, youngest son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. J. Morgan, died of con
gestion, at the age of three years
and three months.
So quickly was he taken away
that the fond parents scarcely rea
lized that he was seriously ill be
fore the icy hand of death was on
their darlings brow and God had
called his precious spirit to its
eternal home
Though slightly indisposed for
three days he was confined to his
bed but little more than twenty
four hours; it is comforting to
think that he seemed to suffer but
little pain.
He was a handsome,manly little
fellow and of a loving disposition;
so often be would put his arms
about his deyoted mother’s neck
and say so lovingly, “Maina, I love
you.”
Father, mother, brothers and
sisters, though it is sad to miss his
smiling face from the family cir
cle, yet know that his face is now
lighted with the radiance of the
Etornal City and that by faith
you may see his face again and
feel his presence near. Let his
grave point you to the home above
and mark the path that leads to
life.
