HON. DuPONT GUERRY
Spoke at the Opera House
In Cordele Yesterday.
Hon. DuPont Guerry, addressed
the citizens of Cordele and Dooly
county at the opera house yester
day (Thursday) the issues at 12:45 o’clock
upon involved in the
gubernatorial campaign.
Mr. Guerry was to have spoken
at 11:80 o’clock, but owing to the
fact that Rev. Sam Small was to
speak at the Christian Workers
Conference at the Baptist church
at that hour, the speech of Mr.
Guerry was postponed until 12:45
which gave him one hour and fif
teen minutes before his train left
tor Ashburn, where he was booked
for a speech in the afternoon.
Despite the unseasonable hour
and the short time for people to
get dinner and go to the opera
house, Mr. Guerry had an audience
to begin with of at least one hun
dred people, which was increased
in a short time to one hundred
and fifty to two hundred.
Mr. Guerry, although cramp
ed for time, held the close atten
tion of his audience throughout
and was liberally applauded. He
discussed the tax and prohibition
questions at some length, closing
question, eloquently on the prohibition
amidst the applause of
friends, and in time to catch his
train for Ashburn.
Mr. Guerry was introduced by
Col. Pearson Ellis, and while in
the city was entertained by Judge
J- B. Scott.

SHALL WE HAVE PROHIBITION ?
Bjk Philip Sober.
Editor Sentinel :—I very much
enjoy the contributions to your
excellent paper and I do admire
your method of giving space to a
free discussion of vital questions.
There is certainly a vital ques
tion now before the public and
through your paper I would like to
throw out a few thoughts—senti
ments if you please—and perhaps
figures.
Every age of mythology, as you
well know, has its monster of
frightful character and destiuc
tive power celebrated in fabulous
story. Intoxicating liquor stands
out as a great monster of this age
of history, whose frightful face we
daily see, under whose destructful
power people daily groan and
whose workings of desolation and
woe are more impressive than any
of can
He is brainless and thinks not,
heartless and knows no pity, eye
less and sees not his own devasta
tions, earless and hears not the
lamentations of his own victims.
He possessses powerful instincts,
but they are only to decoy, to
bind, to sting and to kill.
I present the character of this
monster in order to show, that not
only he, but this very name should
be blotted from before the face of
God and humanity. I present him
as a criminal—grim and fierce, as
an offender against all that is
good and precious.
A commonwealth which rests
upon a weakened foundation is a
house built upon the sand, and
the one thing, more than any oth
er, that demoralizes a people and
weakens the foundations of a com
monwealth, is that which makes
the brains of men to reel, the
hearts of men to be inflamed and
the wills of men to be weak and
unsteady—that which leads to
nineteen twentieths of all the
crimes; that which assasinates
moral nature and that which
blunts the moral faculty—liquor.
Now regard the destruction of
crude material and capital through
this agency. To use the figures of
another, the produce used in mak
ing alcoholic liquors, consumed an
nually, in Great Britian, amounts
to 78,000,000 bushels of wheat,
which would make 1,100,000,000
four pound loaves of bread, give
150 four pound loaves to every
family—enough for three months.

the body depends on those small but
important organs. They extract uric
acid from the blood which if allowed
to remain in the system would cause
dropsy and Bright’s disease. Prickly

tonic; it heals and strengthens the

CORDELE, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1901.
Used as paving stones, would pave
a road ten yards wide and 1900
miles long, The people of this
country pay annually for liquor,
over $900,000,000, which is nearly
twice as much as for bread, nearly
three times as much as for meat
and nearly ten times as much as
for public education.
The Hon. Mr. Voorhees, in a
speech, once asked his audience
what the farmers would do if the
distillers should cease to buy grain
for the manufacture of liquor,
when an old farmer replied; “we
will raise more pork and less hell.”
There is vast wisdom in the quaint
words of “Uncle Remus.” “When
I sees a man goin’ home wid a
gallon o’whiskey and a half pound
of meat dats temrance lecture
nuff for me, I knows dat ebery’
ting in his house is on the same
scale, a gallon o’misery to ebery
half o’comfort.”
Now it has been urged that
prohibition does not prohibit.
Do the Ten Commandments—
which are only ten prohibitions—
prohibit ? Should they be abol
ished because men violate them,
kill and murder and steal?
Why do liquor men fight prohibi
t i on to fc he bitter end if it doesn’t
prohibit? Liquor men well know
that prohibition is the last thing
for them and they fight it with
the high license argument, the
dispensary fallacy, or any other
old way—“prohibition don’t pro
hibit”—but they don’t want pro
hibition.
The liquor evil, Mr. Editor, is
like the poison in a seroent’s toothi
not to be diluted, but extermina
ted. It is the father of crime, the
mother of sin, the curse of curses,
and Satan’s own tool, and my idea
is to chain it with complete prohi
bition, All other efforts and plans
have failed. High license is a com
plete failure. It only concen
trates the sale of liquor in the
hands of the monied few. The
same amount of liquor will be
consumed whether sold in groger
ies, gilded saloons are varnished
dispensaries. Taxation only lega
lizes the traffic. It does not re
Let prohibition be enacted, for
but prohibition can effect
end so devoutly to be wished
by every earnest, unselfish patriot.
WOULD SMASH THE CLUB.
If members of the “Hay Fever
Association” would use Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
the club would go to pieces, for it
always cures this malady, and Asth
ma, the kind that baffles the doctors,
it wholly drives from the system.
Thousands of once-hopeless suffers
from Consumption, Pneumonia,
Bronchitis owe their lives and health
to it. It conquers Grip, saves little
ones from Croup and Whooping
Cough and is positively guaranteed
for all Throat and Lung troubles.

NO CANDIDATES YET
But the Mames of a Number of
Prominent Men are Mentioned.
City Executive Commute to Soon
Name a Date For The White Pri
mary Which Will be in Lat
ter part of December.
The city executive committee
will soon name a date for the
white primary to nominate three
I candidates for aldermen. This
date is usually fixed in the latter
part of December and there is no
reason to expect that it will be
different this year.
There will be, as stated, three
aldermen to name, and those who
have had an idea that no interest
w'ould be taken in who are to be
named will probably be very much
mistaken, for there is a strong un
dercurrent already astir to get
three good men, who are interested
in the city as property owners and
business men to make the race.
Those aldermen whose term of
office will expire and whose places
are to be filled are: Aldermen
Weisiger, Scarborough and Fain,
It is known that at least one, pro
bably two, and possible neither
of these gentlemen, will allow
their names used for re-election.
Just who will be candidates is
not known, for there are no can
didates yet, and it will possibly
be several days before any are de
veloped. The names of several
prominent citizens have been sug
gested but whether there is any
thing more than a suggestion,
cannot be posBitively stated, or
whether these gentlemen would
consent to become candidates or
to serve if elected will only be

should be made for the good of
the city.
The name of Judge U. V.
Whipple has been suggested as
a large property owner and popu
lar citizen who has the city’s in
terest at heart.
Mr. B. H. Palmer is called a
progressive and representative citi
zen who would conscientiously
perform his duties as a city father
both for the sake of the city aud
his holdings here.
No citizen, it is said, would
more faithfully look after the
city’s interest in so far as an al
derman’s duty lies, than would
Judge J. B. Smith, and it is urged
that no mistake would be made
in naming him an alderman.
The names of J. S. Pate, W. H.
RugeJy, C. P. Rouse, A. M. Stead,
J. T. Westbrook, D. Ed Kennedy,
Mr. C.A. Mims, G. L. Dekle, Dr. H.
M. Smith, C.B. Bowen and others
have been mentioned as excellent
men who would faithfully serve
their city if called upon.
Of all the names mentioned, it
is said that each is “against blind
tigers” and favors “a lower tax
rate” if possible. In fact, these
two questions may prove to be the
controlling issues in the campaign.
