COMPLIMENTARY TO COL. BUNN
Senator W.C. Bunn,who represented
the Thirty-eighth district in the upper
house of the last General Assembly
was in the.city yesterday on legal busi
ness and returns home today. Sena
tor Bunn for several years has been
one of the most prominent attorneys
of Cedartown, and as a member of
the Senate proved himself an able
thinker and speaker.
lie reports unprecedented activity in
tlie iron mines of his section, and
states that the celebrated Cherokee
furnace, which has been. idle for the
past seven years, lias started up again
and is turning out an immense amount
of pig iron.
“The iron mines about Cedartown,’
said Senator Bunn, “are conceded by
experts to be among the richest in
this country, and of late they are
being worked to great advantage by
their owners. I understand that for
eign orders are being taken in number,
and the furnaces arc taxed to their
utmost capacity in order to meet the
increasing demands for the best grades
of iron.
“Several new furnaces are being
talked of in our section, and it is pos-
• sible that one or more large corpora
tions will invest considerable capital
in the district. It is rumored that the
iron mines of the old countries are
beginning to fail and that the for
eigners are now looking to America
for tlicir supplies. The outlook is
unusually encouraging and the mine
owners are working night and day.”
Senator Bunn is the legal representa
tive of several large concerns owning
valuable iron mines in Polk county,
and lias already taken deep interest in
tlie mineral wealth of the South and
particularly of Georgia. He is spoken
of as the next representative to the
Legislature from his county.—Consti
tution, 19th.
FOR THE WHITE PRIMARY.
The Marietta Journal says: “This
will be a great political year, but the
wilite primary ought to be adopted for
the nomination of candidates and thus,
do away with all purchasable elements
and scrambles for individual success.
The white primary has worked well
under strict rules and regulations;
where tlie registered voter only is
allowed to vote and decide results.
We have hope to see the democratic
party adopt this fair and just measure
to arrive at the will of tlie people in
the selection of candidates.”
This is the right sort of advice to
the Democrats of Georgia and the
South. We coinmend the plan. It has
given the highest satisfaction in Rome.
Wo hope the white primary will stay
with us forever.—Rome Tribune.
Polk county will' receive $10,408.00
from the state public school fund for

John Ruskin, the famous English
essayist and critic, died Saturday in
London, aged eighty-one.
“I am in favor of the white primary,
and as far as I know all my neighbors
do the same,” says Rev. A A. Pittman,
one of Walthall’s sterling citizens.
i lion. Ilewlett A. Hall, of Newnan,
has been appointed by the President

Commission to Paris, with a salary of
$3,000 and all expenses paid.
“X have always favored it,” said Col.
P. A. Irwin, one of our prominent at
torneys, speaking of the proposed
white primary the other day.
“I don’t see how any decent white
man can oppose the white primary; I
am certainly in favor of it,” said Mr.
S. 0. Jones, a prominent citizen of
Hamlet, when in town Tuesday.
‘‘I wouldn’t vote for my daddy if
he refused to go into a white primary,”
says Mr. J. E. Houseal, Polk’s popular
School Commissioner; “and I don’t
see how any decent -white man can
oppose it.”

him and commending Gov. Candler on
his re-appointment.
We do not believe that Cedartown
is any better or worse than the rest of
Polk county. YetCedartown went with
one accord into the white primary, and
"loyally abided the result. We have
sufficient confidence in honest public
sentiment to believe that Polk County
will he no less honorable than Cedar
town in going into a white primary
and standing by the results.
Col. J. S. Davitte, one of Polk
county’s prominent citizens who was
a populist leader while that party was
in existence, writes a letter to Dr.
Bradford and tlie Democratic Execu
tive Committee strongly endorsing tlie
movement in favor of a white primary.
He says: “I promise you my active
and earnest support, and to faithfully
abide by and support the nominees of
the white primary.”
The ‘ iron furnace at Cedartown,
which has been idle lor the past sev
eral years', lias been put in blast,there
by giving employment to quite a
number of hands. This gives Cedar
town a first-class, furnace, a knitting
factory, three cotton mills,(the third
in process of construction) a foundry
and machine shops. A company is
now organized and chartered for a
cotton seed oil mill soon to go up.

the white primary again.
There has never been a movement
inaugurated in Polk which has taken
sue i a strong and general hold on the
people as the suggestion of a white
primary for county officers.
Tlie thinking people of the county
—men who have become disgusted at
t ie disreputable practices and cor
rupting tendencies of election methods,
and who earnestly desire reform—are
a mo.it unanimous in their desire for a
" bite primary, knowing that in tills
"aj only can any adequate alleviation
of the evil be obtained.
Cedartown has tried the plan with
the most satisfactory .results. Two
elections have been held under this
system, and they have been such great
improvements over the old method
that we doubt if anyone would have
the hardihood to suggest a retrograde
movement. Tlie results of the primary
were loyally accepted in belli in
stances — in fact, public sentiment
would not have tolerated any other
course.
I'ulton, Floyd and oilier Georgia
counties have the white primary sys
tem, and nothing could induce them
to change it. Fulton has pursued this
course for several years, but Floyd
tried it for the first time in her last
county election, and it is a significant
fact that men who bitterly opposed the
plan then are now numbered among
its warmest supporters. Candidates
have no desire to return to the corrupt
and hankruptingly expensive methods
of the past; and even if they would
the people—having had a taste of clean
politics—would forever “snow under”
the man who proposed it.
Ever since otir last county election
in which, by the way, very few are in
a position to throw stones at tiioir
neighbors,—many of the best citizens
of the county have been talking ear
nestly in favor of a white primary for
Polk. Such representative men as
Messrs. Wm. Bradford, T. M. Pace, J.
C. Hand, J.E. Houseal, J. H. Phillips,
O. VV. Smith, J. K. Davis,W. O. Cornel
ius, Lafayette Sutherlin, J. II.Sanders,
R5v. N. A. Hamrick, J. A. Tucker,
and scores of others equally as promi
nent, have been busily engaged in
sowing the seeds of sentiment in
favor of this great movement.
The Standard last week gave the
names of some sixty of these good
citizens, and no sensible man familiar
with county politics could read this
list and then for a moment claim that
the suggestion was made in the inter
ests of any faction. Nothing but wil
ful ignorance, blind prejudice or cul
pable deinagogism could inspire such
a charge after seeing this array of
good men who agree in favoring
white primary in tile interests of har
mony and decency.
As stated last week, Dr. Bradford
made his suggestion thus early in
order that it could not possibly be
charged by any fair-minded man that
the movement is for or against the in
terests of any candidates or factions.
That his suggestion was a happy ip«pi-
ratioii is proven by its enthusiastic
reception by the good people of the
county without regard to factional or
party lines. There is a general feeling
that if a man is not the choice of a
majority of the white people of the
county, he does not deserve a county
office; and we venture the prediction
that no reputable white man who
aspires to couuty office will refuse to
enter the primary, and we are certain
that no good white than would forever
ruin his standing and his prospects by
running against the primary nomi
nees.
We take it for granted that the Ex
ecutive Committee, when it meets Sat
urday at 10 a. m , will take steps to
insure a white primary in which every
white voter will be invited to partici
pate, and at which the representative
citizens of the various shades of polit
ical b-lief will serve as managers;
and that the measures taken will he
such as to secure the hearty co
operation of every good white man in
the county.
If the Committee should feel that a
fuller expression of the will of the
wliite people of the county can be ob
tained, by referring the matter to a
mass meeting of citizens during court
or to district meetings, or if they
themselves order the primary, The
Standard assures them of its hearty
co-operation. There are very few to
whom it makes any difference whether
it is ordered by the pemocratic Execu
tive Committee, a mass meeting or
district convention). What the peo
ple want is a wlii e primary, and the
great majority of them do not care
how it comes, only so they get it.
Perhaps a good solution of the mat
ter would be for the Committee to call
a'mass meeting of citizens of the
conntyte-be^Jie]d at the Court House
on the first day of court, at which a
non-partisan committee would be ap
pointed from each district to take
charge of the primary. The original
suggestion of a white primary was
made' in the interests of harmony, and
if tlie committee finds that this would
in any way promote this object,we are
certain they will adopt it.
The Standaed pledges its loyal
support to the nominees of this pri
mary, whoever they may be, and we
are confident the other papers of the
county will do the same. Bro. Fain,of
the Rockmart Slate, is an ardent advo
cate of the white primary, as our
readers have seen from his editorials
which we have taken pleasure in re
publishing. Bro. Gibson came out
strongly last week in favor of a pri
mary for the selection of Judges and
Solicitors—in which we heartily agree
with him,—and we have no doubt that
he will also support the white primary
nominees for the county'.
The suggestion is so evidently in
the interests of harmony and decency
that public sentiment in the county is
rapidly crystallizing in its favor. It
is only a question of timeWhen every
county in Georgia will adopt the sys
tem, and Polk county has the best or
reason's for adopting it now;. Only
those interested in perpetuatingstrife
could have any reason for opposing it,
and tlieir motives would be so mani
festly selfish that tlie-w_couId hardly
aiford to bring them under the search-
iight of public opinion.
The following good citizens have
expressed themselves during the past
week jn favor of the white primary:

ROBERT E. DEE.
Last Saturday was the anniversary
of the birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee,the
South’s great soldier-statesman. The
day is a holiday in Georgia, and our
public schools and the bank closed
their dGors in observance thereof.
The name of Lee is one of the
greatest in American history, and we
can do no better than to re-produce
the panegyric which the Hon. Benj.
H. Hill, one of Georgia’s giant sons,
pronounced upon him“When the
future historian shall come to survey
the character of Lee, lie will find it
rising like a huge mountain above the
undulating plain of humanity, and he
must lift his eyes high toward heaven
to catch its summit. He possessed
every virtue* of other great com
manders without their vices. He was
a foe without hate; a friend without
treachery; a victor without oppression,
and a victim without murmuring, lie
was a public officer without vices;
citizen without reproach; a Christian
without hypocrisy, and a mail without
guile. He was a Caesar without his
ambition; Frederick without his
tyranny; Napoleon without his selfish
ness, and Washington without his
reward. He was obedient to authority
as a servant, and royal in authority as
a true king. He was gentle as
woman in life; modest and pure as
virgin in thought; watchful as
Roman vestal in duty; submissive to
law as Socrates, and grand in battle as
Achilles!”
