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.

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.

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. 0 , hallowed spot where baby’s body lies! Hidden forever from these mortal eyes.
