AND REDUCE TAXES.
Candidates for Aldermen in the
December Primary Will be
Asked How They Stand
on “Blind Tigers” and
on reducing the city
Tax Rate.
This is an off year in Cordele
politics. What is meant by “off
year” is that only three aldermen
are to be elected, whereas, the
mayor and three aldermen hold
over another year. Any measure
favored by the three aldermen to
be elected, unless some hold-over
aldermen or the mayor shoulc
support the measure, would be de
feated.
The city primary to nominate
three aldermen for a term of two
years, is only about 60 days off .
It is almost certain that any can
didate who aspires to fill this
position will be asked how he
stands on blind tigers, whether
for or against. He will not be al
lowed to occupy a half way ground,
neither will he be allowed to say
they ought to be suppressed but
they cannot be suppressed. He
must say they can be suppressed
and that he will fight to suppress
them.
Then, again, this year the city
tax rate is one and one half per
cent, last year one and one quarter
per cent, while previously it had
steadily remained at one per cent.
It seems almost certain now that
the candidate will also be asked
how he stands on reducing the tax
rate.
These two questions are appa
rently the main questions up to
this time that will be involved in
the city election, and that these
two will be forced on the alder
manic candidates seems true be
yond peradventure, and the candi
date will be expected to take no
uncertain stand against “blind
tigers” and “for a lower tax rate,”
The people are stirred up over
these two things and if candidates
fail to announce, and announce
favorably, as above stated, then
an effort will be made to get good
men and who will take the stand.
It is said that three good aider
men can accomplish much along
these lines and that they will not
be wholly without the influence of
at least some of those who hold
over

ARGUES IT DOES NOT.
A Remedy Suggested by Which
Barrooms and Blind Tigers
flay Give Way to a Better
Plan. “A Solution to
the Whole Liquor
Problem.”
BY C. J. SHIPP.
A large majority of the best
people of the state seem to be op
posed to barrooms; this opposition
has been shown in the large num
ber of counties that have voted
• ’or prohibition in local option
contests, and notwithstanding the
fact that in practically all of
these counties blind tigers begin
to arise and flourish as soon as the
barrooms are closed. This major
ity against barrooms is steadily
increasing. The sentiment seems
to ^ j^ese tigers are
l e8 s evils than barrooms,
I have during the past few years
visited a number of prohibition
towns and have yet to find one
where the illegal sale of whiskey
was not carried on to some extent.
The people are going to have stim
ulants ; the better class will order
them from a distance while the
negroes and old soaks will patron
ize blind tigers; if any one doubts
this let him take the trouble of
visiting any so-called dry town in
the state that has a population of
2000 or more and he will see the
truth of this assertion verified.
Absolute prohibition will do for
the country but not for the towns
and cities. The remedy that sug
gests itself for the prevention of
this evil lies in the legislature of
the state; the courts have tried
for twenty years to prevent vio
lations of the local option law and
have completely failed; if the leg
islature would so amend the local
option law that dispensaries could
be voted for in local option elec
tions with a provision that the
dispensary should be properly re
gulated so that whiskey could not
be sold by the drink or drank on
the premises and so that minors
and drunkards could not purchase
them, and require the profits
to be given to the educational
fund of the county, it would be
a short time before every
in the state that had a
large enough to support a
barroom or blind tiger would
a dispensary; break up the
barrooms and tigers, have a school
fund sufficient to educate every
boy and girl free; build a school
in every country neighbor
hood and furnish it with a com
petent teacher, whether there is
a large number of children in at
tendance or not. It is frequently
the case in sparcoly settled com
munities that it is impossible to
secure the services of competent
teachers because the school fund
is not sufficient to pay the salary.
The bill creating the dispensaries
should be formed so as to remedy
this, as the government is inter
ested in seeing that every child
has a good practical education so
that he can be properly prepared
for the duties of citizenship. A
direct tax would fall as a heavy
burden on the tax payer, but to
turn the profits of the whiskey
trafic into the education of the un
fortunate would be turning an evil
into a blessing. Prohibition does
not prohibit. Let us take
money required to feed the
and give it for the education
the poor.
Mr. Jones Gave Bond.
Mr. Lee B. Jonea was arrested
m Macon last Thursday night and
the daily dapers say readily gave
a $5,(XX) bond to appear at the
next term of Dooly superior court
to answer the charge of embezzle
ment in connection with the de
funct Naval Stores – Lumber
mans Bank of Cordele, of which
bank he was the president Mr.
Jones did not see proper to appear
at the last term of court and
Judge Candler ordered Ins $2500
bond forfeited, and when arrested
to give a new bond for $5000,
which was done as above stated.
The assertion that he was going
under the assumed name of G. B.
Smith when arrested is denied by
his Cordele friends.
They Bolted.
Several Cordele boys went to
Fitzgerald Wednesday night to play
in a band corcert. Upon arrival they
found the contest in the interest of
barrooms and bolted—wouldn’t play.
The prohibition election was yester
day (Thursday) and Wednesday
night everything was at fever heat,
so the boys say. Piano’s and other
musical instruments were going in
favor of prohibition and church ser
vices were held at all the churches.
The boys thought prohibition would
win out.
