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.

Celebrated ir. an Appiopriate Manner with General Rejoicing. Addresses of Welcome Responded to by President Zimmerman, After Which Mrs. Barber ‘‘Touched the Button” and the Furnace Went into Blast. 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 e'time-honored custom of reward- g unfailing arifl" irreproachable pub lic service obtain in the political counsels of tjie people, and the con tented and industrious yeomanry of a great state will enjoy the fruits of honest, Democratic government an- ntkci^two years.

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. THE FIRST OF TIIE YEAR.
