You, Spring!
You gladness tiring;
That’s why wo say
We hope you’ve eoino to stay!

The Democrats and populists of
Lincoln county last week decided to
unite in a white primary for county
officers.
All over Georgia the people are
moving in the matter of a white pri
mary. Several counties have already
ordered white primaries for county of
ficers.
“I believe the white primary a good
thing, and I am certainly going to be
on hand April 4th to vote for it” said
Mr. J. W. Rogers, a good citizen of
Rockmart district, Saturday,
“I don’t care how far behind we may
be with our work,” says Mr. John
Kerr, one of Polk’s cleverest farmers,
“ Iain going to stop on April 4th to
vote for the white primary.”
Yon “can’t lose” Atlanta. She is
going to have another big fair this
fall, and this time it will be called the
Southern Interstate Fair, opening
Oct. 10th and closing Oct, 28th.
The Socialists held a convention in
Indianapolis, Ind., last week, and nom
inated Eugene Debs, of •Indiana, for
President, ami Job Harrison, of Cali,
fornia, ior Vice President. Funny,
isn’t it?
If you raise your own food supplies
you can aflord to take tile cliances on
the price of cotton this year. But if
ytm have to go into debt for supplies,
you had better figure carefully-on your
cotton acreage.
To the White Voters of Polk: “It
is up to you” to say on Wednesday,
April 4th, whether you prefer tile
honesty and decency of a white pri
mary -to. the vote-buying and liquor-
using methods of the past.
Tite State Democratic Executive-
Committee meets tomorrow in Atlanta
to decide on dates for the state pri
mary* and state convention. Tim
Standard hopes that primaries will he
ordered for everything—United States
Senator, Governor and State House
Officials, Judges and Solicitors Gen
eral.
The Baptist Convention will con
vene in Griffin on the 2S)tli of March,
and will be largely attended. The
Polk County Baptist Association will
be represented by_a -delegation of
prominent citizens, among tile number
iieing.Rev. C. K. Henderson, Col. J.IL
Sanders, Dr. W. G. England, Maj. .T.
A, Blance, Prof. J. M. Lawson, Mr.
X. B. Hunt, and others.
Negotiations are pending for the
building of a big cottonseed oil mill
here, and it is to be sincerely hoped
the project will be completely success
ful. It would mean great things to
tiie farmers of Polk, bringing'them a
better price for .their seed, and en
abling them to get seed products at
lower figures. Our farmers should
give tiie new enterprise every possi
ble encouragement and support.
Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon is the most
widely read author in America today.
“In IIis Steps” and “The Crucifixion
or Philip Strong” have taken a strong
hold on the reading public, and every
thing that Dr. Sheldon writes is re
ceived witli interest. “Robert Hardy’s
Seven Days” is tiie title of his latest
story, and it will be good news to~our
readers that The Standard will begin
its publication in serial form in the
near future.
The Rockmart Slate makes a sug
gestion, to which The Standard gives
a hearty “Amen,” that Hon. W. C.
Rnnn be sent as a delegate from this
district to the National Democratic
Convention at Kansas City on July
4th. Col.Bunn is a staunch Democrat,
broad-minded and patriotic, and a
gentleman of marked ability. Tiie

the republican party is in power,
whether two years or 20. it is silly as
well as cowardly for those who call
themselves republicans to lie about
tiie matter.”
THE REIGN OP THE PEOPLE.
Prom the inception of tiie white
primary movement in Polk county
the Slate lias occupied an unequivocal
and unalterable position with reference
to the various phases of the question
Believing in the efficacy and effi
ciency of tiie white primary for the
accomplishment of greatly needed
changes in our political methods, the
Slate lias thrown its influence in the
scale on the side of right as we see it,
and has sought to stimulate dispassion
ate argument and discussion of this
vital question among the citizens of
Polk county. Understanding from
tiie start that this movement for tiie
people must be of and by tiie people,
we favored a thorough and impartial
investigation and discussion by tiie
people as a preliminary step to their
final action in tiie matter. We real
ized, as did the leaders of the move
ment and the leading citizens cf the
county, that this question would never
be settled until settled right, and that
it could on|y he settled right by tiie
people.
The people themselves viewed the
question in this light, and took hold
of the problem with a determination
to master it and the purpose to reject
the plan if it failed to measure up to
their standard of right.
Following this period of investiga
tion and discussion, came tiie mass
meeting at Cedartown on Feb. 26th, of
representative citizens from every sec
tion of the county. This mass meet
ing declared unanimously for a white
primary, hut believing that the best
plan was to further submit the matter
to the judgment ot the people, an
election was called to be held April
4th, at which tim.e every qualified
white voter of Polk county may ex
press himself for or against a white
primary. In addition to this every
voter may at the same time designate
three men, a Democrat, a republican
and a populist, as his choice lor judges
ol the election.
It seems to us that this is Democracy
reduced to its purest element. It is a
case where the free expression of tiie
will of the people will become law
There is no opportunity for the inter
ference of tiie political ring or boss,
no chance for tiie politician to pull the
wires and set in motion his dirty
schemes. The entire matter is in the
hands and under the control of the
people.
Is this right?
Certainly!
Tiie matter has arrived at the exact
status to which all friends of the
white primary have labored assiduously
to bring it. We want the people to
sit in judgment on this case, and we
will accept their verdict!
If on April 4th the people decided
in favor of a white primary, then
what! Well, the people are empow
ered to hold it. Without the
people it is safe to predict that a
white primary will never occur.
This narrows the matter down to
the main point which we wish to im
press' upon our readers.
If the people decide against a white
primary, it will clearly evince the
fact that the people are afraid to trust
themselves!
We have yet to meet the citizen of
Polk county who is opposed to the
primary because it is wrong. All
agree that the necessity for adopting
tiie primary plan is urgent. This
leaves the opposition (if there is any)
witlWfcrgromius for'Sjihtingthemove
ment, and we repeat tiie statement
that; a defeat of the primacy movement-
would simply mean that—
The people are afraid to trust them
selves!
We do not anticipate defeat, how
ever.
The people can be trusted with per
fect safety to the best interests of
Polk county. 7“ ;|
The people can purify polities and
establish good government—and they’ll
do it!—Rockmart Slate.
MOVED TO CEDARTOWN.
EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF ALA
HAMA & GEORGIA IRON CO.
AS-
ived Here I’rom New York—Vice
President Swayin' in Charge.
The executive offices of the Ala
bama and Georgia Iron Company are
now located at Cedartown, having
been moved here from New York
City. That this will be agreeable
news to Cedartown people goes with
out saying.
Mr. Noah H. Swayne r tlie vice pres
ident of the company, is- in direct
charge, and he and bis wife will make
Cedartown their home. Air. Swayne
is a member of one of I lie most prom
inent families and leading law firms
in the country. His father, Gen.
Wager Swayne, Is Colonel and brevet
Major General, U. S. A., retired, and
was Provost Marshal of Alabama im
mediately after I lie war. He then
practiced law at Toledo, O., until 1SS0,
since which time he lias been a promi
nent practitioner in New Y’ork City.
Mr. Swayne’s grandfather was a Jus
tice of tiie Uuited States Supreme
Court, appointed by President Lincoln
in 1865, which position be resigned in
1883.
Mr. Swayne himself was born at.
Toledo; Ohio., Dec. 29, IS71. He was
educated at St. Paul’s School, Concord,
N. H., and at Yale University, gradu
ating from tile latter institution wilh
A. B. degree in 1893. He graduated
with LI.. B. from University of the
State of New York in 1895, and in the
same year was admitted to the New
York bar. ne practiced as a member
of the noted firm of Swayne & Sway ne
in New Y’ork City from that time un
til his recent'coming to Cedartown.
He was happily united in marriage
Sept. 25," 1898, with Miss Christine
Siebeneck, of Pittsburg, Pa. Mr.
Swayne is a genial and talented gen-i
tleman, and be and his accomplislied
wife are warmly welcomed here.
The Alabama and Georgia Iron
Company is the fortunate possessor of
some of ihe most valuable iron prop
erties in tiie Sonih. The Cedartown
holdings embrace tl e splendid' prop
erties of both the Augusta Mining
and Investment Company, including
the furnace and tiie big mines at Ce-
dartown and Grady. Besides this tiie
company owns furnaces and mines at
both Talladega and Decatur, Ala.
And all of these properties are to be
managed directly from Cedartown.
President Zimmerman will be a fre
quent visitor,'but Mr. Swayne will be
in direct charge of the executive de
partment. Mr. M. O. Guiss, the clever
auditor of the company who has been
here for several weeks, will remain
in charge of that department.
With Mr. J. R. Barber as the efficient
local manager, Mr. W. P. Munson
bookkeeper, Mr. S. A. Edmondson in
charge of the checking, Miss Kate
Russell stenographer, and Messrs.
W. C. Barber and Frank Ford in the
commissary, Mr. Swayne will have
about linn a clever force of assistants.
Cedartown gladly welcomes this
transfer of the general offices of the
company from New Y’ork to this place.
While it is a matter of convenience to
the Alabama and Georgia Iron Com
pany to have their executive offices
here, the action of the company in
moving them here is none the less ap
preciated by our people.
POLK COUNTY TEACHERS 1
SOCIATION.
At the request of Commissioner J. E.
Honseai, the teachers of Polk connl y
met in regular Institute at the city
school building Saturday.
At 10.30 o’clock the Institue was called
to order by Pres. Oltin King. After a
song, “Nearer my God to Thee,” and
prayer by J. L. Perryman, the regular
program was begun. The general sub
ject was “Discipline.”
Prof. J. R. Walker lead the discussion
with an interesting discourse on the
“Object and End of Discipline.” He
was followed by Mis Ida Hunt, who
read an excellent paper on the “Rela
tion of Parents to Discipline.” Miss
Hunt emphasized the fact that many of
the troubles of school discipline could
be avoided if parents would give proper
co-operation, rather than aid the pnpils
to continue his or her disorder.
Prof. B. B. Callaway and Miss Irene
Wood spoke of the “Devices in Slat
ters of Discipline.” Miss Wood offered
many useful suggestions in a well pre
pared paper.
J. M. Hnnt spoke of “Corporeal
Punishment.” Mr. Hnnt stated that
corporeal punishment was an invalu
able method in discipline, but that it
must be used only as a last resort, and
then with the very best judgment and
deliberation.
J. L. Perryman made a very earnest
talk on “Practical Experiences in Dis
cipline.” He insisted that much more
than one might think could be accom
plished by love, but that occasionally
the rod was the only remedy.
Aliss Lou Sewell read a very humor
ous and practical paper based upon
her personal experience.
’ Alost of the county teachers were
present and much permanent good was
gotten from the general discussion.
The committee'appointed to prepare
a reading course for the county teach
ers made its report, and the following
books were adopted as a reading course
for the year 1900: DeGrafTs School-
Room Guide, Painter’s History of Edu
cation, Baldwin’s Psychology and Edu
cation, and Baldwin’s Psychology Ap
plied to the Art of Teaching.
The election of officers for the year
1900 was next in order and the .follow
ing were unanimously elected: Pres.,
J. M. Hunt; Vice Pres., Mrs. Jud Crabb:
Sec., Miss Irene Wood. It was decided,
by unanimous vote, to hold the next
meeting April 7th at Rockmart.
The following committee was ap
pointed to prepare a program for that
day: Prof. H. L. Sewell, Misses Willie
Wood and Louise Honseai.
The Institute was then declared ad
journed until April 7lb,-1900.
