OiSoIal Organ ot Polk County. OT.cial Organ of the. City of Cedartown THURSDAY. JANUARY 25, 19C0 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 1900. 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 . to a position under the World’s Pair 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.” __ The Cherokee furnace at Cedartown, which has been idle for several years, has started up again amid many de monstrations of joy.

Byrd as Assistant Adjutant General of the State Militia, which is just like all appointments the Gov ernor makes—excellent and deserving. Col. Byrd is a fine officer, and is popu lar with the militia. His numerous friends in Georgia are congratulating 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. Tile Cedar City is all right.—Buch anan ’Tribune. 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: Rev. A. A. Pittman, Rev. R. S. Ham rick, Wliil K. Russell, Tlios. Wright, M. C. Bobo, J. T. .

Lee, and scores of other good citizens irrespec tive of, party. Let us ail come together as decent, patriotic citizens^nd agree on a white primary for Polk! 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!” MULE STOLEN!
