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.

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.

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.

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 ^ Gr< ^ wou ^ a Bacr i* fice ioT 8ome of them to be 8ure > 8t ^ ** * . 8 ur S e( ^ * be sacrifice 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. Cure Eczema and Itching Humors Through the Blood.—Costs Noth ing to Try. B. B, B.
