MAYOR J. JORDON JONES.
“We ‘have a state prohibition law
now of force which, if enforced by the
officers of the law, will drive out the
blind tiger, boot-legger and. all who
would defy the law of both state and
city,” he said. “I shall do my duty,
and if the officers of the city will do
their full duty, Cordele will be free
from the curse of rum, and those who
would deal in it for illegal purposes.”
Mayor Joneg asserted that senten
ces on the ‘public works will in future
be meted out to all violators of the
prohibition laws of the city.

ENCE LAST WEEK WITH RAIL
WAY OFFICIALS LOOKING TO IM
PROVEMENTS IN CORDELE.
. During the past week Mayor Jones,
has lield conference with the different
railroad: officials, with a view of get-
V;lng;;;;iifindérpa’ssés constructed on all
slg'égisand avenues in the city where
%&}i:fli&n’km‘ent of the roads are of
suffidgient weight to authorize the work
| Mayor Jones, had in the city last Wed
nesday John B. Munson, Vice Presi

ENTHUSIASTS WORKING TO SE:
CURE EXPRESSION FROM PEO
. PLE OF CITY AND START NOT
FAR AWAY.
The organization of a semi-profes
sional or all-college baseball team to
represent Cordele during the summer
in games with surrounding towns
many of which have already organized
clubs, has been under advisement for
some weeks, but active efforts are now
being put forth by some of the staunch
est enthusiasts to determine the ques
tion of whether or not the city will
have a ball club this year.
A committee composed of Frank
Batholomew and Alex Martin is mail
ing out letters to the business men urg
ing the importance of a baseball club,
and are requesting expressions on the
subject. This is a primary move to
ward the raising of money to start the
season.
The cities of Dublin, Montezuma,
Fitzgerald, Hawkinsville, Eastman and
Dawson have already organized teams
and raised sufficient funds with which
to finance their team. The city of
Americus is contemplating a team.
With these teams in the field Cordele
would have no difficulty in arranging
sufficient match games to furnish this
form of amusement during the dull
summer months in first class form.
Cordele has an opportunity to se
cure as captain of the team John Hen
derson, who is at present captain of
‘the University of Georgia ball team.
If the city should be so fortunate as
‘to secure Mr. Henderson, confidence
is felt that he would only engage such
players as to furnish clean sport and
a team which would represent the city
creditably.
It is estimated that a fund of from
twelve to fifteen hundred dollars would
be sufficient to finance a team through
the summer months without calling on
the public for further donations.
_Already keen interest has been man
ifested, and it looks as if the fund will
not be hard to raise. : :
NEIL' REELECTED PRINCIPAL
. . CORDELE COLORED SCHOOLS
At its meeting Saturday afternoon
the city board of education again re
elected E. H. Neil as principal of the
colored public schools of the city. Neil
has been in charge of the colored
schools for a number of years, and his
work has given the greatest satisfac
tion to the boadrd ahd to all interested.
The schools have advanced rapidly un
der his direction.

SOLICITOR GENERAL IN ENTER
ING COSTEST DECLARES THAT
HE HAS SOME “POSITIVE VIEWS
ON VARIOUS ISSUES.” ‘
Atlanta, May 7.—4olicitor General
Hugh M. Dorsey, oi Fulton superior;
court, yesterday formally announced
his candidacy for the governorship in
the coming primary.
His announcement precedes a com
ing statement of the platform upon
which he will base his eampaign. This
platform, he says, will be forthcoming
at an ‘early date, but he gives no ink
ling of what matters will be discussed,
further that that they will be ‘“the va
rious issues which effect the welfare
of our state and the administration of
its laws” upon which he says he has
“positive views.”
‘Solicitor Dorsey stated some weeks
‘ago that immediately aiter the meet
ing of the state democratic convention
at Macn he would make known his
}attitude toward the gubernatorial race,
’and his announcement of his decision
to enter the race is not surprising,
lfor his friends have freely predicted
for a long while that he would be a
lcandidate.
Light promotes cleanliness.
A clean mouth is essential to good
health.

foundation of adult health.
l istaatiae
lPROHlB!TION LAW REQUIRE HIM
. TO KEEP TAB CN U. S. REVENUE
LICENSE IN COUNTY.
A new cflicial duty has fallen on
Sheriff Ward because oi the new pro
hibition law, and as things stand this
cofficial doesn't know just how to go
about the performance of this duty. It
may come about that he will get a free
trip to Atlanta every month, and don’t
let anyone suppose that the sheriff is
worrying so much about doing that.
He even said that he didn’t mind it
much.
The new prohibition law makes it
incumbent on the sheriff of each coun
ty in the state to secure the names
of all holders of internal revenue li
cénse each month. and has a provis
ion that the officers be paid for such
services, including all expenses and
cost of securing same.
The only available,place from which
{0 secure this information is the office
of A. 0. Blalock, collector of internal
revenue for the State of Georgia, and
it so happens that Mr. Blalock is in
the employ of your Uncle Samuel and
not the State of Georgia.
Mr. Blalock would think it quite a
task to furnish the names of the hol
ders of revenue license to the one hun
dred and fifty-three sheriffs in Geor
gia, especially in view of the fact that
he has no certainty under the law of
being paid for such service. But his
bogks are public property and open for
investigation at any time, and the sher
iffs may ge to Atlanta and get the re
quired names first-hand, or perhaps,
they might get some of their Atlanta
friends to send it to them.
The Crisp sheriff says he would be
willing to try the latter plan if this
prohibiticn law wasn’t such a strict
piece of machinery. He prefers to get
the information first-hand.
POLICE CHIEF IS AFTER
LOCAL BICYCLE RIDERS
Chief of Police Sheppard is after
the children for riding bicycles on the
sidewalks of the city. This source of
anncyance to the -ladies ' especally
comes from the failure of small hoys
and girls .to exercise any discretion
in this practice. Not apprehending any
‘danger they ride rapidly along the
side walks, causing pedestrians to be
on the alert to prevent acidents.
The podice would be grateful to the
parenis if they would caution their
children against riding on the' side
walks.

In City 5¢ Per Week
OFFICER HELPS
~ HOLD SERVICE
PATROLMAN NEEDED TO ASSIST
IN THE CALLING OF A PASTOR
—LENDS TELLING ASSISTANCE.
Officer J. T. Persall of the police
force of Cordele is of the opinion that
there is about as much dissention and
wrangling within thé,_'pbrtals of the
house ‘of worship sometimes as there
is at a baseball game when the fans
get huffed up with the umps, or the
manager doesn’t like the way things
are going, or at a political convention,,
unless it be such a peaceful one as the
all-Wilson, non-Hardwick affair that
Macon entertained last week.
~ The officer thinks that when a police
jm.m is called to a church to see tha!
‘quict prevails when religious servi
ces are going on, that trouble must
be lLrewing. But that is what officer
Fersall did last Sunday. A negro
church on the outskirts of the city was
a2bout to call a pastor, and the breth
rcn and some of the sisters as well,
were & bit divided in opinion over the
question of whom they should call.
Things hadn’t been moving along
with the same calmness! that would
characterize a school for tbw deaf and:
damb, anvhow, and (:liiccj::rs had been
called to this house of wdi‘éhip on Sev
eral previous 'occasions to see that or
der was maintgined. This being a
special oecasion, ‘it i ‘was | anticipated
that dissenting opinion might run rife
end come to something more serious’
than just a difference of opinion. So
the officer was notified in advance, and
a‘ the usual hour of meeting Sunday
he took up his post at the church. His
presence there seemed to have the de
sired effect.
