The Best.
The Sentinel has moved, ac
tually moyed, and the public will
not know how it was done unless
we tell how, and as a newspaper
lias no secrets we will have to tell
it. The last issue of the Sentinel
was issued a few hours earlier
than usual and bright and early
Friday morning a machinist was
tearing down our large presses
and a large force of hands began
bringing over our plant, load after
load in the large two-muie dray of
Mr. W. H. Thornton, who had the
contract to move us. We used
the big freight elevator in the
back of the store to be occu
pied by Mr. A. L. Powell. Some
pieces of machinery were so large
that only one piece could be haul
ed at a time, but we got up here
just the same, that’s all.
Saturday morning at 8 o’clock
our 1500 pound job press was at
work in our new quarters and our
job presses have been going ever
since. It is all in knowing how
and the Sentinel knows how, if
you don’t believe it bring us the
job.
Our new location in the new
postoffice building, which we have
leased for five years, is 50 by 90
feet and has plenty of light as
well as room.
The Sentinel is “still on top,”
“up higher” which is in keeping
with our business, that is “pick
ing up.”

secretary of the meeting. The chairman asked .Judge .1. B. Scott to
state the object of the meeting, but Judge Scott stated that he had
nothing to do with the call and did not know the object. Editor C.
M. McKenzie was called upon to say who gave him the call that ap
peared in the News. Mr. McKenzie stated that it came from the
mayor and council. Investigation proved that the mayor and all
members of council were absent at the time.
Mr. J. A. Littlejohn, city clerk, was present and was called upon
to say what lie knew about the call. Mr. Littlejohn stated that while
absent from the city Monday' the mayor and council held a called
meeting, he understood, but that no minutes of what was done had
ever been turned over to him. Uity attorney, Col- - s . IL Fields, was
called upon and he stated that he had been requested by one of the
councilmen to draw a notice to be published to establish a o ispemary
in Cordele, that he drew the notice, but wanted it understood that he
was against dispensaries and favored prohibition.
COUNCILMAN SCARBOROUGH.
At tins point councilman R. B. Scarborough came m and was
called upon to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Scarborough
stated “that the mayor and city council wanted an expression from
the citizens relative to establishing a dispensary in Cordele.” Mayor
Cutts and councilman Lasseter came in while Mr. Scarborough was
talking, but before they had anything to say, Rev. J. D. Winchester
offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted by
a rising vote: W inchester’s Resolution,
Rev.
Whereas, notice has been given that a bill is to be
introduced in the State legislature providing for a liquor
dispensary for the town of Cordele, and
Whereas, we are here assembled as citizens of Cordele
at the request of the Mayor and City Council action to therefore express
our opinion and desire concerning such :
Be it resolved, 1st. That we are positively opposed to
the establishment of said dispensary or in any otherwise
legalizing the sale of intoxicating liquor as a bevei age in
our city or county ; that we solemnly protest against this
attempt to force the liquor traffic upon us, and earnestly
request our representatives in Atlanta to thej«^©s)t
efforts that said bill be not. passed. —^
Resolved, 2nd. That we earnestly request of our city
authorities a more strict enforcement of our present pro
hibitory laws, and that we interest ourselves as citizens to
assist and to see to it that said laws are rigidly and right
eously enforced.
After the adoption of the above resolution, Judge Whipple took
the floor with a resolution. Before reading his resolution Judge
Whipple said he wanted it distinctly understood that he had nothing
but the kindliest feelings in the matter towards everyone, but that he
had no sympathy with the assertion that blind tigers could not be
suppressed, which assertion was received with loud and Judge prolonged
applause. ■ The following resolution was then read by Whip
ple and unanimously adopted:
Judge Whipple’s Resolution.
Whereas the city council unadvisedly issued a license
to Mr. Hull to sell wines and ciders in the City of Cordele,
the same being against the State law now of force in this
State inasmuch as this license allows sale in any quantity;
therefore, resolved, That city authorities be earnestly
Be it our
requested to revoke said license ; and if this can not be
legally done in toto, then
Be it resolved by the citizens of Cordele, that our
council be earnestly requested to so modify said license as
to make it conform strictly to the present law, and that a
strict surveilance be maintained to see that only such wines
are sold under this license as the present law authorizes
and only in such manner.
After the adoption of Judge Whipple’s resolution, Judge Scott
moved that all the county papers, the Atlanta Journal and Macon
Telegraph be requested to publish the above resolutions. Adopted.
During the progress of the meeting, Rev- Mr. Owens, of the Pres
byterian church, called attention to the fact that he wanted his people
to establish their boys school in Cordele, that he wanted the people
to pull for it, but if established here he certainly did not want liquor,
all of which was received with enthusiastic applause.
The meeting then adjourned, and summed up in a nut-shell by
Sentinel, evidently meant; “sic semper dispensarara tyrannis” tigers

Same Partnership to be
Proprietors of Cash Drug
Store Corner Bolton
Building.
Mr. A. M. Stead, proprietor of
the Cash Drug Store, has taken in
a partner, Judge U. V. Whipple,
of Cordele. The partnership will
own and continue to run the Cash
Drug Store in the corner of the
Bolton building and in addition
will open anew drug store in the
room recently vacated by the
Peoples’ Bank at the corner of
Seventh street and Eleventh Ave.
The new drug store will open
for business about December first,
and will have one of the best lo
cations in the city.
Messrs. Stead – Whipple are
well known and popular, conser
ative business men and hustlers.
Cordele already has throe drug
stores, but that there is room for
one more is evidenced by the fact
that a new drug store is to open
under the firm name of Stead –
Whipple.
A younger brother of Judge
-Whipple’s, Mr. Cliff Whipple, of
Savannah, a graduate in phar
macy, will hold the position of
pharmacist in the new store and
will probably own an interest in
the business, while the direct
management of both the “Cash
Drug Store” and “Stead – Whip
ple” will be under A. M. Stead,
who has made such a wonderful
success in the drug business in
Cordele.
Since the above was put in type
we learn that Mr. Cliff Whipple
will own an interest and be one
of the partnership.

Messrs. P. IT. Willis, J. A. Wil

charter to begin a wholesale gro
cery business in Cordele, which
will be known as the Willis—Wil

Tins application appears else

and asks permission to increase
the same to $50,000 when deemed
proper to do so.

A NEW OPERA HOUSE
And Possibly a New Railroad From
Cordele to Hawkinsville in the
Near Future.
Mr. T. Edward ITalilton. capi
talist, of Baltimore city, the
owner of a majority of the bonds
of the old Cordele Security Co.,
and president of the Albany –
Northern railroad, that runs from
Cordele to Albany, and Mr. J. S.
Crews, of Albany, general mana
ger of the above road, were in the
city Friday and Saturday of last
week, and Wednesday of this week.
The present opera house is a
part of the property owned by the
bondholders of the old Security
company, and Mr. Hamilton said
while here, that Cordele deserved
a better opera house and by an
other season he would see that
there was a better one.
It is also understood that Mr.
Hamilton favors extending the A.
– N. railroad on to Hawkinsville
and thus fill in a gap that would
give an outlet to AugOstaand
Charleston by direct line. The
Sentinel reporter failed to see
Mr. Hamilton on this subject and
all Mr. Crews would say about the
report was that the talk was news
to him. However the extension
of this road was said to be un
doubtedly a part of Mr. Hamil
ton’s business to Cordele.
