Official Orfran of Folk County. Ollctal Organ of the City of CeUartow I THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 1900. Cedartown mines and ships more Iron Ore than any other point in the whole South, out side of Birmingham. Spot any man who tries to throw cold water on the white primary, and mark him “for future reference.” John Young Brown and his crowd of I)emocratic(?) bolters in .Kentucky must feel mighty sick by this time of the game which they helped to play The fertilizer trust has advanced the prices on all brands of fertilizers in Georgia 33J£ per cent, and every farmer should keep in mind this addi tional cost in raising his 1000 crop. 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. Remember the date— Court House,Monday, February 2fitli at I p. m. THE FURNACE CAT. OUR HONOR ROM..

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.— Constitution, 13th. ATTENTION, VETERANS! We are in favor of applying John Sherman’s remedy to the paper trust, which has forced the price of all kinds of paper and envelopes up out of all reason. Congress should take off the' tariff on paper and paper-making materials, which makes the trust possi ble. This wouUHnrofck out the trust, - anff make the heart of the poor news paper man rejoice. 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.” It is well—Augusta Chronicle. Town killers are classified into eight separate branches, as follows: First, those who go out of town to do their shopping and have their job printing done; second, those who are opposed to improvement; third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and enter prise; fourth, those who imagine they own the town; fifth, those who deride public spirited men; sixth, those who oppose every movement that does not originate'with them; seventh, those who oppose every movement (hat does not appear to benefit them; eighth, those who seek to injure the creditor reputation of individuals. The Polk County Confederate Veter ans are requested to meet at the Conrt House in Cedartown, Monday the 2Gtli, the first day of court. The meeting will bo held immediately after the ad journment of the white primary mass meeting. D. M. RcssEuii, Com. Polk C. V. 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 cotton. 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.

Dear parents,don’t- grieve for little Vera, for “She is not dead, the child of ourallec- tion, But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor protection. And Christ himself doth l.ale. EJSH SCALLS. THAT INJUNCTION CASE. LAKE-CREEK LEl'JER. We have had rain until almost every Final Hearing ro he Held .at- La- kind of business is checked up, but it will quit in time for all kind of busi ness to succeed. There will ahvays be plenty of fair weather for every one to succeed in his avocation. The great est trouble with most of us farmers is that we don’t make hay while the sun shines. As Plunket says, the country is on a swing; the fellow who fails to fall in with the procession will still remain in the background. Rev. J. Davis preached an interest ing sermon at the Baptist church here Sunday. J. C. Atwood, of Collard Valley, at tended church here Sunday. J. V. Pliilpot says the hanging scaf fold near the postoffice is completed, all but putting on the rope. It is an excellent piece of carpenter work. Marcus Stringer and Allen Waddell recently called on their best girls and arranged for their absence from town not to be known, hot the entire trip and most of their sayings were made public by accident at school last week. While this was all a nice occurrence,it was a little funny. The public school here under the supervision of Miss Ida Hunt,assisted by Miss Florence Chapman, now num bers 70 students. Mrs. Lotiella Jackson,of Piedmont,is visiting relatives here this week. Coal, wood,lumber and ore are being shipped from this place. 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.

Houseal, Polk’s efficient School Commissioner, was in our bu one day last week looking after the school interests of the vicinity.- He will begin at an early day the erection of a new school bonise at this place. The enrollment of the school here has reached OS, with about 30 more to be enrolled. The teachers of our school are very busy these days teach ing the young idea how to shoot. Messrs.Cox & Jones have about com pleted their new store house and are moving their large stock of goods into it. Esom Hill loses one of her best and most highly honored citiz°ns this week in the person of Esq. S. A.

The English in South Africa have met with further reverses during the past week, and it is going to tax Eng land’s every resource if she finally whips the Boers—and that “if” is as suming pretty large dimensions. Miss Claire Norman, a charming young lady of Cave Spring .and a sister of Mrs. J. H. Phillips, of this place, was united in marriage last night to Mr. John Huff, of Cave Spring. Her many Cedartown friends wish the happy couple much joy. 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. Sheriff W. T. Crocker and City Marshal J H Philpot went toChalta nooga Friday and brought back three negroe—Juie and Charley Peek and Will Bell—wanted here on various charges. They will have a hearing before Polk Superior Court in March. No Right To Ugliness.

Last Sabbath morning about nine o’clock the bright angel of Heaven caine and bid little Addie Whitlow come 'home. Addie was willing to obey the call. She called her mother to her bed and said, “Mama, don’t you hear that pretty singing up yonder?” but mortal ear could not hear it. Ad die was a bright little Christain girl, and she always tried to comfort and make everybody happy wherever she went. Little May went first. God showed her feet the way; then He called little Bessie next, and she gladly followed on; then Addie, making three in less time than a month.

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. An Ohio lady, Mrs. Shopshire, living in Ballou. Shelby Co., in a thoughtful letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V.. says: “ My mother had an ovarian tumor which we thought w-ould re-* suit in her death, but we commenced using your ‘Favorite Prescription,’ and before she had 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 it in my house.” This is but one of many thousands of in stances in which this matchless “ Prescrip tion ” has restored such complete health and purification to the distinctly feminine organism as to dispel every possible trace of abnormal or dangerous conditions with out resort to surgery or similar obnoxious methods.
