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 Democracy of the Seventh could not ■it'-Her than to send lion'. W. C. ^jind Jlon. W. J.

It is going to stand as long as 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. ~ J. M. Hunt, See.
