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 of Rnckly the Ash Bitters cures strength- disease the kidneys, cleanses and and bowels. ens Cash Drug liver, stomach Store.

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.
