Cedartown mines and ships more Iron Ore than any other point in the whole South, out side of Birmingham. The Boers in South Africa are now getting badly bored. Every patriotic citizen should favor any movement looking to the better* ment of the roads of Polk county. Don’t forget that Wednesday, April 4th, is tlie day set for the white people of Polk county to vote on the question as to whether or not they want a white primary for county officers. Farming and gardening are now the order of the day .and everybody is busy. The frequent rains have been against early working, but all are 'ready to put in good time when the- weather permit*. _ :. Twenty-nine states and territories now have laws which are intended to restrict or prohibit trusts. Twenty now levy inheritance taxes in some form. Nearly all the states are taking progressive steps in favor of good roads. \ The primary system is coming in Georgia from United States Senator down to county officers. The white people of Georgia are going to take this question in hand and put . an end to many of the disgraceful practices of the past in our elections. ‘Official reports state that the total casualties to the British forces in South Africa since the beginning of the war have reached 12,834. Of this number 1,993 have been killed and 6,838 wounded. The number of deaths from disease is 830, and there are 3,137 missing. ‘ - Governor McMiilin, of Tennessee, lias practically entered the race for U. S. Senator from that state to suc ceed Senator Turley. With Congress man Carmack, Justice Snodgrass and the Governor in the field, Tennessee may look out for lively politics this summer. Remember that Wednesday, April 4th, is the day on which the white people of Polk county will declare whether or not they want a white pri mary—whether they prefer honesty and decency in our county politics,or a continuation of Whiskey-using and vote buying. In all probability Senator A. O. Ba con will have no opposition for re election, and this is as it should be. He has served only one term, is an able and distinguished Senator, and the Democracy of Georgia will give him a unanimous endorsement at the pri mary this summer. - A negro brute assaulted an aged white lady near Fitzgerald Monday night. The victim is 67 years old, and was in feeble health. A ripe lynching bee is booked for that town whenever the fiend is caught. The lady was from Minnesota, having gone to that soldiers’ colony in South Georgia. Mr. J. H. Wright, of Piedmont, Ala., says that lie and GpT. J. M. Mc Bride, of Tallapoosa, have come to the conclusion that there is too much “blowing” about Cedartown—our fac tory whistles woke them up too early Friday morning. Come often, gentle men, and you will get used to that sort of thins;. Gen. Joe Wheeler arrived Monday in San Francisco from Manila. It is not known yet what steps will be taken by the General about his seat in Congress. No man can hold two Fed eral offices at one time, and as the General held a commission in the army while lie was a Congressman, he is held to be a dnal office-holder by many Commissioner of Agriculture Ste vens says the department has sold, on a reasonable estimate, 1,000,000 more, fertilizer tags this ypy--' Jliaii last. “This ..indicates,” saiiTtlie Gommis- -'STofier, “that the farmers are sowing every available piece of ground they have in cotton. In a few days they will be plowing up the oat fields,where the crop appears to be injured, and will plant it in cotton.” Dan Mims, a respectable farmer liv ing- near Hazellinrst, was murdered Monday night by two negroes who had just hired to him. His little child was also killed, and his wife beaten into insensibility. Arson and rape are supposed to liave.been their object, but the woman barely escaped with her life. The greatest excitement pre vails in Appling county, and it may not be possible to prevent a lynching. Hon. Fleming duBignon, the dis tinguished chairman of the State Dem oqratic Executive Committee, has called a meeting of that body to be held in Atlanta on Friday, 16th inst. In addition to selecting a date for the state convention and the settlement of such preliminary ar rangements as will come before the body, the members will be called upon to interpret to a degree the spirit of the constitutional amendment which has placed in the hands of the people direct the election of Circuit Court- Judges and Solicitors. Upon tbesu gestion of circuit primaries as the best mean's of carrying out the intent ami purpose of . the amendment, the majority of the State Committee have spoken, and with few exceptions the plan has met with hearty endorsement; Chairman duBignon himself is jjn favor of the primary plan of 'these important H E WILL NOT BUN. Hon. Fleming duBignon, of Savan- " a i >. chairman of tlie State Demo cratic Committee, has made the an- nouncement that lie will not be a can- d'hate for UnitedStates' Senator against Senator Baron. There have been many newspaper suggestions and intimations about his probable candi- * acy,but liis positive statement sets at rest all doubt- as to his attitude in the senatorial contest-'. ... ■ This action of Col. duBignon in re- fusingto enter the race is highly com mendable to that gentleman. His en try into the senatorial contest' would have precipitated a heated campaign in Georgia when there should be the best of harmony. REVIVAL SERVICES. Rev. C. O’N JIarlindale will con.- inenee a series of meetings in the Presbyterian church Monday night at 7 30 o’clock; services every night injthe week (no morning services ) to continue so long as warrantable. Everybody invited ..to attend who can. Members especially urged to come. At the Presbyterian church next Sabbath at 11 a. m., Rev. C. O’N. Mar- tindale will preach upon “God’s Call for Volunteers and Man’s Answer,” and at 7.30 p. niT upon “The Test of Manls Love for God the Savior.” Sab bath school at 9.43 a. m., Little Folks’; Society at 3 p. m. Prayer meeting and It ik known that strong jiressure was blackboard lecture by pastor oil “God’s brought to bear on this distinguished Democrat to induce 111 into oppose Senator Bacon, and his flattering as surances of support would have turned tlie heads of most men. While he would have been a formidable op ponent, this -brilliant Georgian pre ferred harmony in the Democratic party to the possibility of a Senator- ship at the end of a state campaign that would have done the party no good. , ~ Fleur duBignon is all right. The state is not yet through with liis able and valuable services, and the future holds out to him just as tempting and important political promotion as many of his zealous friends now see in the senatorial plum. FLANAGAN DEAD. Flanagan, the notorious innrderer, died Tuesday in tlie .DeKalb county jail, thus ending one of the most noted cases of the century. In. December, 1896, Flanagan shot and killed Miss Ruth Slack and Mrs. Martha Allen, gave" Dixon Allen a wound from which lie died, and at tempted the life of George Allen. The crime was committed at Poplar Springs, and grew out of Flanagan’s infatuation for little Leila Allen; Ever since that time the case has furnished a very strong argument in favor of lynch law, for the red-handed murderer was permitted by legal quib bling to escape the hanging he so richly deserved. Col. W. C. Glenn, the noted lawyer, took the case in hand, and sacrificed health and finally his life in his efforts to clear Flanagan by prov ing him insane. Flanagan has made several attempts to escape from the DeKalb county jail, endangering the lives of Ins keepers, and has required the most constant and careful watching. The good peo ple of DdKalb will breathe easier now that this unnatural monster has passed away, and there is nO one in Georgia who will be sorry. * • OUU HONOR ROLL.

The wave 'of indignation which swept over the country against the treatment of the Porto Ricans by tlie republican majority in Congress on the tariff question, gave the imperial ists a bad scare, and they adopted a pretty political trick last Friday to offset their costly mistake. President McKinley sent in a special message to Congress recommending that the reve nues derived from the.customs duty in Porto Rico shall be used in the gov ernment and for the benefit of tl at island. Tlie measure passed the House by a strict rarty vote. By this action tlie republicans hope to he able to crawl out of the hole in which they fell when they insisted on levying a tariff on Porto Rican products, after making PortoRico a part of our own country. Justice, however, demands that no tariff should be between the United States and Porto Rico any more than between New York and Georgia, FROM EMORY COLLEGE. Oxford, Ga., March 6, 1900. Editors Standabd:—The Senior Class of Emory College, at the suggestion and with the assistance of Prof. W. L. Weber, head h| the English. Depart ment, has undertaken the compilation of a bibliography of Gt;6rfc^~3nre, which, itTs hoped, will meet the pres ent needs of the state in this direction and serve to perpetuate the name of every Georgia writer who, with his mite or much, has aided, bur literature in gaining the prominence it now possesses. Since such a book will be valueless unless it is exhaustive, every exertion is being put forth to make it thorough in every respect. However, it is impossible for a few, though repre senting every, section of the state, to learn of every writer who has contrib uted to our literature since the found ing of the state, unless the public will volunteer its assistance. That this worthy undertaking may be attended with suocess. it is earnestly requested that all who are interested in the litera ture of the state will lend their co operation to this work. This can he done by sending an exact copy of the title page of any Georgia book, or the address of any Georgia author, or any surviving member of the . author’s family, to the below address. The probable question as to whp : Geor gia authors really are may be answered thus: The productions of any writer who was born, who passed Mb forma tive period, or who has always lived in Georgia, will he included in the bibli ography. Any response to this request will meet with the highest appreciation from the class of 1900. C. K. Hendebsox, Jb. Decrees and Their Execution,’ Wednesday night at- 730 o’clock. A Christian greeting and welcome for all who can attend,; whether citizen or stranger, man,'woman or child. The Pastor. Lois, the bright'little two-year old girl of Mr. and Mrs. M. E.

No Right To Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form’and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attrac tive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and run down, she will be nervous and irritable. If she has con stipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complex ion. Electric Bitters is the best-medi- eine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich com plexion. It will make a good-looking, charming woman of a rnn-down invalid. Only 50 cents at E. Bradford’s Drug Store. ~ Messrs. H. E. Kelly and R. D. VanDyke, two prominent business men of Rome, were here the first of the week attending court. Tlie demand for houses to rent in Cedartown is unprecedented. People are kept away from this city for the simple and only reason that houses cannot be had to live in. Why dors not some one with money build houses in Cedartown? Messrs. Thos. L. Bishop and God. P. Roberts, attorneys from Atlanta, were here Tuesday on business be fore Judge Janes in connection with the defunct cotton mill at Douglas ville. Col. W. T.

He taught school during vacation and worked for means to pay his way in college. Just the other day he took first hon ors in a class of 37 in Nashville, re ceiving two medals in surgery and anatomy. He is courteous and re spectful!..;-and is a credit to the younger generation of his race. Gov. Candler lias appointed Mr. C. H. Clark one of the delegates from Georgia to the International Mining Congress which convenes in Milwau kee in June.
