The Hanna-Payne ship subsidy bill—
the biggest steal of the age,next to the
padded pension list—is proving so un
popular with the people that its repub
lican progenitors are likely to aban
don it, for this session of Congress at
least.
The Constitution nominates Hon
Amos G. Cummings, of New' York, for
Vice President on the Democratic
ticket—with Hon. ffm. J. Bryan, of
course, for President. The Standard
don’t believe the suggestion can be
improved upon.
Hon. W." A. Broughton,a well known
citizen of Madison, has entered the
race for State Treasurer since the re
tirement of W. J. Speer. The race be
tween lion. Ii.E. Park,of Bibb county,
and Col. Broughton for this place will
be one of interest.
“I am glad to see you devoting s
much attention to the white primary,
said Eld.N. A. namnck, one of Polk’s
best citizens, to a Standard man;
“it is the best movement ever started
in Polk, and means more to the people
than anything else right now.”
The triumphant tour of Bryan
through the East has surprised the
country, and this, with the fact that
Democrats of all shades of opinion are
getting together, is worrying the re
publicans. Between the trusts and the
imperialists,the administration is hav
ing a rocky time.
The white primary is the most effec
tive movement in favor of decency
and honesty in politics that lias ever
been inaugurated in Polk, and not
even the most selfish and sehemin
politician can afford to oppose it. His
opposition would prove a “dead give
away ”'to his motives.
The white people of Polk are in
tensely in earnest in this white pri
mary movement. It means more to
the good people of the"county than
the triumph of any candidate, faction
or party. 11 means decent and orderly
politics, without the corrupting use of
money and whiskey in-bur elections.
Hon. Mark Everett, of Stewart-
county,'has decided that- he will not
run for Prison Commissioner against
Hon. Tom Eason, one of the Commis
sion’s most popular and efficient mem
bers. Col. Everett is a prominent
citizen of his section, and will proba
bly be a member of the next State
Senate, as he was of the last House.
Senator A. O. Bacon has written let
ters to all chairmen of County Demo
cratic Executive Committees iu Geor
gia, requesting that the people' be al
lowed to express their choice for a
United States Senator at the party-
primaries this summer. And thi
proper. The people should have the
right to name their Senators by popu
lar vote.
ATTEND the mass meeting.
Every white voter in Polk county
should attend the big mass meeting to
be held at the Court Houseou Monday,
Feb. 28th, at 1 p.
this is not a partisan movement. It
' s neither Democratic, populist, re
publican nor factional.
It Is for every WHITE man in Polk
county!. '
It is a protest .against- the campaign
scandals and corruption of the past,
and the only effective method for pre-
tenting their repetition in our future
elections.
It is a movement in which every
white man wlio loves his home and his
Own honor, and who despises corrup
tion, should — and does—join most
heartily.
There has never been a more popular
movement inaugurated in Polk than
this. It commands the instant respect
of every thinking man, and the self-
seeking politician who for his own
selfish ends might at heart not favor
it, would be effectually crushed by the
weight of public sentiment if he
should openly oppose it.
The only thing necessary to insure
the complete success of the movement
is a large and represntative turn-out at
the mass meeting on the 20th. Let
all districts in the county be well rep
resented, and let three good citizens
from different parties be selected from
eacli district to arrange for the non
partisan management of the white
primary.
The day that Polk joins the white
primary procession in Georgia will be
one of the best in her history, and
every white man in'the county should
have a part in the movement.
Come yourself, and bring your
neighbors witli you, to the mass meet
ing.

TO RE OUR SENATOR.
In the Thirty-eighth Senatorial dis
trict, made up of the counties of Polk
Paulding and Haralson, the name of
Hon. W. E. Spinks, of Paulding, lias
been mentioned for the Senatorsliip.
A leading citizen of Dallas, who eame
down to the city yesterday,is authority
for the statement that while Repre
sentative Spinks has not announced
his candidacy, he is regarded by many
as the logical candidate from the
Thirty-eighth. The member from
Paulding in the last House of Repre
sentatives was looked upon as one of
the leading members of the General
Judiciary Committee, and his support
of a measure, particularly one with
legal aspect, was in nearly every case
followed by its passage. It is under
stood that no opposition to Represen
tative Spinks has developed, and that
he will in all probability announce in
the next few weeks for the Senate.—

We are in favor of applying John

As predicted by The Standard last-
week, Mr. J. E. Houseal lias no opposi
tion for re-election as County School
Commissioner—and this is as it should
be. At the examination Saturday for
this office there were no other appli
cants, and the County Board of Educa
tion will meet tomorrow for the elec
tion. The examination was conducted
by Prof. H. L. Sewell,and it is needless
to say was thoroughly satisfactory.
The Cedartown Standard says:
“Let this year he a year of Democratic
harmony, of business prosperity, and
of peaceful serenity in Georgia. Let-
the time-honored custom of rewarding
unfailing and irreproachable public
service obtain in the political councils
of the people, and the contented and
industrious yeomanry of a great state
will enjoy the fruits o| holiest Demo
cratic government another two years.”

The cotton speculators and gamblers
are at their old game—every spring
they run up the price of cotton to in
duce the farmers to plant a big crop
and get low figures in the fall for their

lion. William J. Bryan—the next
Democratic candidate for President—
will speak in Atlanta next week on
Friday night,-the 23d. lie is to speak
under the auspices of the Young Men’s
Democratic League, of which Colonel
Edgar Latham is tiie popu lar presiden t.
Georgia will roll up a majority of 100,-
000 for Bryan this fall, and we believe
that other states will help make this
distinguished Democrat the ruler of
this great country.
Kentucky affairs have quieted down
somewhat during the past week. Tay
lor, the usurping republican Governor,
has dissolved his “rump” legislature
at London, and has dismissed most of
the troops from Frankfort. Governor
Peckham is confident of the legality
of his position, and is relying on the
courts to establish the same. Taylor
in desperation applied to Judge Taft,
of the Federal Court, but lie has dis
claimed jurisdiction. "The Democrats
seem to have both the justice and the
brains” of the situation in Kentucky.

We are glad to hear through The
Standard that, there are still other
business industries likely to go up in
Cedartown this year. We hope and be
lieve that the people of Polk county
will give men of capital all necessary
encouragement to locate in Polk. We
need wealthy men to locate among u*.
These men of wealth and business do
things; create both business and work.
Material prosperity is absolutely
necessary to the growth, progress and
happiness of this country. Whenever
you hear any one grumbling, whining
and kicking against men of -capital,
you can be sure that person is a super
ficial thinker. Sometimes these men
of business are abuspd by shallow
thinkers and cheap sensational news
papers who pander to what is lowest
in man’s nature — greed anil envy.
Even the pulpit at times lets forth
torrents of abuse upon tile men who
can build up this country. There is a
class of men who envy the mail who is
a success in his business. ..It is like
the crank who said he was without
education himself and did not want
his children educated.
Now for the white primary! Every
white man in the county will have a
chance to express his views at the
mass-meeting at the Court House the
20th inst. The Executive Committee
has recommended this mass-meeting
and has turned the matter over to the
people. Now, if any one lias a better
plan to harmonize the white voters
and do away with this past corruption
which has been a disgrace to our
county, let him come up and say what
it is. OmikRon.

Fertilizers, like everything else but
newspapers, have largely increased in
price, and it is going to cost the farmer
a great deal more to make his cotton
crop this year than for some time past.
The expected rise in the price of cot
ton has finally come,—(it was bringing
8>2 cents here yesterday,)—But it is
too late to do the farmer much good, as
most of it is now out of his hands, lb
may do him a great deal of hurt by
inducing him to increase liis acreage
this year, and thus help to reduce the
price in the fall. However, if a man
raises his own supplies, he can afford
to take chances on the'uncertainties
of the price of cotton; but if he has
o in debt for his supplies, he had
better go slow in planting cotton this
pring.

on; then Addie, making three in less

THE VACANT CHAIR.
When the little family circle is broken
and we sit sadly looking upon the vacant
chair, we think of the things that perhaps
we might have done to keep the loved one
with us. Why not think of these* things
now- before it is too late ? Is it a kind, lov
ing and liard-working mother who is giving
all her strength and efforts for the family
well-being and happiness ? Is it a delicate,
fragile sister; or a weak and ailing wife?
Try to give her the tender care she needs.
Do not let her fade away for want of ear
nest effort to preserve and restore her.

taken three bottles she began to improve; she is
living to-day and we have given your medicine
the credit. My mother was sixty-six yeais old
when the tumor commenced to grow: she is
seventv-six now and the tumor is all gone. She
had gotten awful large, and her limbs began to
swell before she began to
value it so much that I
