THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, i9f0
SHOOI.fi havbno OPPOS,T.ON.
The published intention of Hon
Flem dullignon, cliairman.of the State
Pemoeratie Executive Committee, in
calling together soon the members or
that body to provide Tor a state Demo
cratic primary, lias brought to the
front speculation as to the successors
of Governor Candler and all the State
House officers.
This is an “off-year” in Georgia
politics, and there is less reason for
party differences add political scram
I,ling than for many years. The pres
ent officials, in the main, are serving
their .first term in office, and according
to the almost unbroken Democratic
custom, they should have file usual
endorsement of a re-election for faith
ful and competent public service.
-/ Governor Candler—that incorrupti
ble patriot and loyal Democrat—should
/ and will have no opposition. Georgia
f never had a better Chief Executive,
and the entire state will give him a
hearty and well-deserved endorsement
at the state primary.
Secretary of State Phil Cook is
serving his first term, and lias made a
good record in office. He will have no
opposition for re-election.
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B,
Stevens is rounding up one of the
most successful and eminently satis
factory year’s service ever given the
state by a new official during his first
term. He inaugurated from the first
many reforms in his department, and
has brought the Agricultural bureau
closer to the farmers of Georgia than
ever before. His splendid executive
ability; his practical knowledge of
farming and farm topics, and his close
identity with the masses of the people
• have made him one of the most popu
Iar and distinguished members of the
official household at the capitol. lie
is entitled to a unanimous re-election
. without tlie suggestion of opposition—
and his host of friends thougbout the
state assert that he will have none.
Attorney General Terrell, Comptrol
ler General Wright, State Treasurer
Speer and School Commissioner Glenn,
as old officers, are giving the state
another term of excellent service.
But the State Prison Commission,
composed of Uudge J. S. Turner, Gen.
C; A. Evans and Hon. Tom Eason, has
given Georgia the most successful and
conspicuous management of the state
. , convicts ever known in the history of
Georgia.
The new law under which the state
convicts arc now managed was in the
nature of an experiment when adopted,
hut the methods of handling convicts,
tlie conduct of the convict farm at
Milledgeviile, and the remunerative
figures at which the long-term inmates
were leased, have demonstrated the
Unwisdom and good judgment of the
.present commission. The proceeds of
the state farm the first year iiave
shown,a profitable and splendid mav.f
ageinent, and nothing but ^iest
praise and conimendc.tipn have been
spoken by I.egi£...tiVe visiting com
mittees and,V.,e press. Indeed, the en-

tire.-Gfuinral Assembly received the
report of the Commission with the
greatest satisfaction, and no depart
ment of the state government received
a higher testimonial of approval than
these faithful and pains-taking offi
cials.
The terms of Gen. Evans and Colo
nel Eason expire this year, and they
should neither have opposition for re-
election. They have such enviable
records for a uiie-term service that it
would bean exceedingly unwise thing
'tOf re Place either of them with any
•loan in Georgia. General Evans could
not he improved upon, and it is the
wish of all that this patriot auffsoldier-
.statesman should succeed himself.
In tlie case of Commissioner Eason t
t would be manifestly unfair to fail
i0 re-elect him, since he is servin
liily an unexpired term, and his
riends—and their name is legion
Hiroughoiit Georgia—say that his
|bility and popularity would win
igainst any combination.
Let til is be a year of Democratic
armony, of business prosperity, and
f peaceful serenity in Georgia. Let

g unfailing arifl" irreproachable pub
lic service obtain in the political
counsels of tjie people, and the con

THE BUSTLER.
Julia Morrison James, whose trial
in Chattanooga attracted wide atten
tion, was found not guilty yesterday
of the murder of Frank Leidenheimer.
”"d Harris, a negro murderer, was
hung in'stome last Thursday. Sheriff
Camp officiated as executioner,and the
hanging was private, not over two
dozen people being allowed to witness
it.
Hon. John W. Maddox, our popular
Congressman, was complimented yes
terday by re-election by. the Georgia
delegation as the Georgia member of
tlie Congressional Democratic . Cam-
pain Committee.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, Georgia’s' able
Commissioner of Agriculture, jvas
elected president yesterday of the
New Orleans convention of the Cot
ton States Agricultural Commissioners.
Tlie handsome compliment was well
deserved, as it was through Colonel
Steven’s personal efforts that this or
ganization was brought about.
The Cherokee furnace went into
blast yesterday—
And it was a day of rejoicing for
Cedartown!
The Standard’s suggestion that the
occasion of the blowing in of tlie fur
nace/be made a holiday struck a popu
lar chord with our patriotic citizens,
and the celebration was a success in
every, particular.
In spite of the threatening weather
nearly five hundred people, including
a number of ladies, assembled at the
furnace to participate in the rejoicing.
The Baugh-Zimmerman Band gave
an enjoyable open-air concert on Main
street at 9 a. m., and at 9.30 o’clock
headed a procession to the furnace.
Mayor L. S. Ledbetter, tlie city coun
cil and school board, the city fire
department in uniform, and a large
number of citizens participated in the
parade.
On arrival at tli^.fniuace they were
met bj Mr. E. Zimmerman, the genial
president of the Alabama and Georgia
Iron Co., to whom Cedartown
indebted for the resumption of work
at the old “Cherokee.’'
Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, Cedartown’s
popular Mayor, presided as master of
ceremonies, and after an appropriate
prayer by Rev. C. K. Henderson, made
an excellent address of welcome to Mr.
Zimmerman and congratulations to
the city.
Hon. IV. C. Bunn, the distinguished
senator from this district, followed
with an appropriate address givin
history of the furnace, its activity and
its long period of inaction, and hap
pily voiced a wish for its prosperity
under its new management.
Mr. Zimmerman was then intro
duced to tlie people in a felicitous man
ner by Dr. Ledbetter, and made every
body his friend from the outset, ne
said that he had investigated southern
iron resources very thoroughly, and
came to the conclusion before pur
chasing this furnace that iron could
not be manufactured more cheaply
anywhere than in Cedartown. We
have high-grade ore and limestone in
abundance at our very doors, with coal
fields within easy reach, making a sit
uation unexcelled for iron manufac
turing.
The furnace, said Mr. Zimmerman,
will be run for tlie present on charcoal,
but next summer large coke ovens will
be built and the fuel changed to coke.
A NEW FORNACE.
Mr. Zimmerman said that his com
pany is figuring on building a large
new furnace, with all the latest im
provements. and that in looking about
he had found no place he liked better
for its location than Cedartown.
It is needless to say that this state
ment elicited general and hearty ap
plause, and his brief and appropriate
talk was warmly received throughout.
Dr. E. H. Richardson, a former Ce
dartown physician who has won fresh
laurels in the practice of his profession
in Atlanta, spoke strongly of Cedar-
town’s possibilities and bright pros
pects. He always has a good word to
say for Cedartown whenever oppor
tunity offers, and has never lost his
identification with Cedartown’s inter
ests.
Hon. Chas. Adamson, the popular
and enterprising general manager of
the Cedartown Company, in welcoming
Mr. Zimmerman spoke from his own
experience of tlie cordial manner in
which such enterprises are received by
our people and the fairness with which
they are treated by our courts.
. Col. C. P. Ball, the genial general
manager of the East & West, was pre
sented to the people and warmly re
ceived. He briefly expressed his grati
fication at Cedartown’s constantly im
proving prospects.
Dr. Ledbetter then announced that
Mrs. J. R. Barber would “touch the
button” putting tiie mighty 'machinery
in motion, which was done annd the
blowing of whistles and the cheers of
the people.
The Baugh-Zimmerman Band inter
spersed the exercises with excellent
musical selections, and did credit to
their name.
The crowd then dispersed, with a
feeling of genuine rejoicing at Cedar
town’s present and renewed confidence
in her future.
WHAT n.ts BEEN DONE.
The furnace has been thoroughly
oVer-hauled and everything put in
first-class shape. It was built in 1874
by the Cherokee Iron Company, of
which tlie late A. G. West was presi
dent, and the first blast was made in
1877. After running steadily for sev
eral years, it finally went out of blast
Dec. 21th,1890,the price of iron having
steadily declined in the meantime. The
furnace has been idle ever since, and
there is no poorer advertisement for a
town than an idle furnace—hence the
general rejoicing at its resumption
under new management yesterday.
The furnace starts on charcoal as a
GO-ton furnace, but will increase its
output to 90 tons a day on coke next
year. Mr. G. W. Lindsey, an experi
enced coal man, has a year’s contract,
for charcoal supply, and is bending
every energy to furnish it as rapidly
as needed.
The Alabama and Georgia Iron
Company is to be congratulated on
securing the services of Mr. J. R. Bar
ber as the local representative of the
company. His long connection with
the old Cherokee Iron Company makes
him thoroughly familiar with every
detail of the plant and its business,
and he is exactly the right man in tie
right place. He has able assistants in
office work in tlie persons of Mr. W.
P. Munson as book-keeper and Miss
Kate Russell as stenographer, while
the big commissary .department is in
chargi-w •.T.es'srs. Wiley C. Barber and
Frank Ford.
Mr. J. M. Collins, an experienced
workman from Anniston, is the day
founder, and his son, Mr. J. H. Collins,
is in charge of this work at night.
Mr. R. L. Ivimball, of Rome, is the
clever machinist.
The new stock-house is a mammoth
affair, and will hold 180,000 bushels of
charcoal.
The furnace will employ about
seventy-five hands, and this will prove
a welcome addition to Cedartown’s in
dustrial pay-roll.
AT THE MINES
The Alabama and Georgia Iron
Company has-acquired in its purchase
of the properties of the Cherokee and
Augusta companies some of tlie most
valuable mines in the South, and they
will proceed to develop these more
energetically than ever.
At the Reed bank a new steam
shovel has been put in, and the big
four-log washer will soon be duplica
ted. A thousand feet of new broad-
guage sidetrack are being built there,
as a spur to the old Woodstock branch.
Seventy-five hands are employed at
this mine.
The Wood mine has not been opera
ted for the past few years, but thirty
hands are now employed there. The
double-log washer has been re-built,
and a big steam shovel has been put
actively at work.
New washers will be built at the old
Cherokee mines at Grady and on the
property adjoining the Ledbetter
mines.
Mining by wagon -is now going on
at the “fork field” near the Benedict
School, and at other points.
The Georgia and Alabama Iron
Company, when it actively works its
magnificent mines, will take out front
six to eight hundred tons of ore a day
—and every pound of it should be
used in Cedartown furnaces.
president of the Kentucky & South
Atlantic. He built the .Chesapeake &
Nashville line, and was its president.
Mr. Zimmerman is now vice-presi
dent of the great C.,-U. & 1>. system,
a director in tlie N. O. & T. P. system
and the Dayton & Union, and hat
large coal interests in Ohio.
The South has felt the benefit of his
enterprise recently, and within the
past few months he has been elected
president of tlie Birmingham & At
lantic road, which runs from Pell City
to Talladega, Ala., president of the
Northern Alabama Goal, Iron & Bait-
way Company, which owns the Talla
dega furnace Iliac goes into blast next.
Monday; president of the Coal City-
Coal & Coke Company, which owns
the big coal mines at Coal City, Ala,
and president of the Alabama & Geor
gia Iron Company, which owns the
furnace at Decatur, Ala , the Cherokee
furnace and mines and tlie Augusta
mines at Cedartown..
Mr.Zimmerman had the misfortune
to lose his wife a number of years ago,
amt has a daughter iii Cincinnati, O ,
where he makes his home. He has
offices in New^York. It is to be hoped'
that his southern interests will, grow
and prosper to such an extent as to
necessitate his location among them,
and it is needless to say that Ceiiar-
town would glad y welcome him as a
resident here.
. He has traveled extensively in both
Europe and Africa; and is an affable
gentleman with courtly manners. k '
RECEPTION TONIGHT;
In order that our people may have an
opportunity to become personally ac
quainted with Mr. Zimmerman, the
Cherokee Club has kindly tendered the
use of its parlors this evening for an
informal reception in Mr.. Zimmer
man’s honor, to which all are ccrlj^llyi
invited.
This courtesy on the part of the
Cherokee Club is greatly appreciated
by the community, and our people gen
erally should avail themselves of- it.
The ladies are especially invited.
BRIGHT FOR CEDARTOWN.
The blowing in of the furnace yes
terday lias added incalculably to Ce
dartown’s brightening prospects, -and
marks an epoch in our industrial- pro
gress.
We are glad to have such a progres
sive capitalist as Mr. -Zimmerman
identifiedyvith Cedartown’s interests,
and we confidently predict that his in
vestment here will not stop with the
Cherokee furnace, but that through
him we will ere long have another and
larger furnace and other iron indus
tries.
Cedartown cordially welcomes- Mr. :
Zimmerman and wishes him abundant
success in his undertakings.
COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Polk County Democratic Execu
tive Committee will meet Saturday at 1
p. m. at the court house, in pursu
ance to call of Chairman Wm. Brad
ford, and every member should be pres
ent. From every part of the county
comes strong pressure in favor of 'Dr.
Bradford’s suggestion of a white pri.
mary for county officers, good citizens
generally favoring it regardless of
previous party affiliation.
Mr. B. B. Bishop,committeeman froip
Buncombe, writes that democrats and
populists in his district are all anxious
loi--- , and similar reports cnnnvfrnm
other districts in the county.
MR. EUGEUE ZIMMERMAN.
In this: connection a few words per
sonally about Mf. Zimmerman, the
prominent capitalist, railroad man
and manufacturer to whom Cedar-
town is indebted for the present great
activity in icon, will be interesting to
our readers.
Mr. Zimmerman was born at Vicks
burg, Miss., Dec. 141 h, 1815, but when
fifteen years of age went to Ohio,
which has since been his home. He re
ceived his education at .Kenyon col.
lege, Gambier, Ohio.
At the breaking out of the war he
was made a master’s mate in the
United States navy, serving with dis
tinction in the Mississippi Squadron
onder Admirai Porter and the Gulf
Squadron under Admiral Farraguf.
He came out of the service with the
rank of lieutenant-commander—corf
responding to that of major in the
army,—and was the youngest ollicer of
that rank in tlie navy.
Having been educated as a civil en
gineer, after the war Mr. Zimmerman
engaged *n building and operating
railroads, in which he has ever since
had an active and successful career.
He was connected with the Eliza
bethtown & JI^LSandy road, and was
We regret to say that tlie East &
West raiirood litigation lias been re
vived. It was thought when the Ala
bama Supreme Court handed down its
decision a few days ago, that tiie long
law-suit was finally settled. This de
cision required the Brownings to pay
into court within sixty days about
$820,009 to re-imburse the Kellys for
receiver’s certificates issued for im
proving tiie road, after which they
would come into possession again of
the" original nine-elevenths interest
which they owned in the line. The
Brownings have tendered tlie money,
but tlie Kellys now ask for a re-hear
ing of the case, claiming that they
should be allowed interest from 1893
on their certificates, the court having
held that their possession of tiie road
during that time offset the interest.
There is now no telling when the
matter will be settled, and in the
meantime the uncertainty will cause
many enterprises to be hampered con
siderably. It seems to us that it would
pay both the parties litigant to agree
on some reasonable compromise, and
the interests of this entire section cer
tainly demand it.
A STRONG ENDORSEMENT.
Dr. Win. Bradford, Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Poik county, lias issued a call for a
meeting of the committee to consider
the question of holding a while pri
mary in Polk county. In this address
Dr. Bradford discusses at some length
the evils which, as he says, have
“fastened themselves like barnacles
upon our electoral methods.” Citi
zens of Polk county are perfectly
familiar with these evil methods, and
we believe every decent and honorable
citizen feels that the time lias come
when these practices must end. Dr.
Bradford further demonstrates that if
any effort to rid the county of these
evils is made, it must begin now.
Then he says tlie white primary is tlie
suggestion received most favorably as
a corrective of electoral evils; and a
meeting of the executive committee is
called for an early date to consider tlie
advisability of adopting this method.
Dr. Bradford meets the demands of
this vital question in a direct manner
and proposes to correct tlie evil before
it attains greater proportions. His
course merits the sanction of all good
citizens, and we believe all such will
array themselves in solid phalanx be
hind this movement and follow Dr.
Bradford to a glorious victory for
clean political methods and decent
elections.
The editor of the Slate is a strong
believer in the white primary. We
are disposed to believe that it will be
productive of better results than a
ballot reform bill. Certain it is that
in tlie absence of ballot reform legisla
tion it is by far the best method which
can be employed. Therefore, the Slate
pledges earnest support to the white
primary movement inaugurated by Dr.
Bradford.—Rockmart Slate.
