Official Organ of Polk County, Official Organ of the City of Cedartown THURSDAY. MARCH 22, 19C0, WISE DEMOCRATIC ACTION. General State Primary , Hay 15th. State Convention, June 14th, These dates were fixed by the State Democratic Executive Committee at ^ its meeting in Atlanta last Friday. Besides the regular ticket for State House officers, the people will have an opportunity to vote direct for United States Senator to succeed Senator O. Bacon, who it now appears will have no opposition. In those judicial circuits where the terms of Judges or Solicitors expire, tlie people will vote direct for their choice to (ill the vacancy,and the con soiidated vote will be reported to the State Convention, and the name of the one receiving the largest number of votes cast in his circuit will placed upon the state ticket. This thoroughly Democratic, and does away with the possibility of the will of the people being defeated by any conven tion combinations. Registration for the year 1900 is re quired, as the state law demands, but not tax-paying for the year. Of course,all taxes for the previous years must be paid. The “glad hand” was extended by the committee to every white man the state to vote in the primary who will agree to abide liy the results, thus giving an opportunity for erstwhile members of the disintegrating pop ulist- party to return to tile Democratic fold as tiie “white man’s party” in Georgia. The State Executive Committee is to be congratulated on its wise action throughout, and its action will greatly strengthen the party. It makes, more and more apparent tile fact that the Democratic party will continue to be the controlling political factor Georgia, and that all who wish to have a hand in shaping public affairs must work within its fold. To Hon. Flem ing duBignon, the distinguished chair man, is due much of the credit for this wise and conservative party action spring’s cold shoulder. Gentle(?) Spring, we’d like to scold her; She hasn’t-done just as we told her, Eolus has thus far controlled her, And none there are who will uphold *er. But, Spring, now you’re getting older, We find our hopes are growing bolder That you’ll get warm instead ot colder, And not give us tho cold, cold shoulder. —THE RUSTLER. THE WHITE PRIMARY. One week from next Wednesday the white people of Polk decide whether or not they want a white primary for county officers. Tlie people want it! And they are in earnest about it! We have never seen such unanimity of sentiment among tlie good people of the county, in spite of the sneakin work of a few scheming politicians— whose motives are well known—to “wet blanket” the movement. The thinking people of Polk regard it as the greatest movement for tlie practical purification of county poli tics that could possibly be devised. Th (1 y want 110 more such disgraceful campaigns as tlie last one proved to be in Polk, and they know that the white primary is the only way to stop such rottenness. " herever the white primary lias been tried, nothing would induce tlie people to go back to the old vote- buying and whiskey-using methods. Candidates for county, office, where the plan has been adopted, find that it enables a poor man to run for office as well as the man with money. Turn out and vote for the wlii e primary on Wednesday, April 4th, and vote for three members of the Primary Committee in your district who are straight-out white primary men. Select, if possible, one from each party—Democratic, populist and republican. I11 some districts there are no white republicans, and votes will have to be cast for representative citizens of other parties, but be sure tg_.select men J.a.. larod| -of"tliej*w.ove r ment. Remember that it is a strictly non-partisan movement. The Staxdard will be glad to pub- lislunext week suggestions for com mitteemen from the various districts. °UR PROSPEROUS CITY. V LAR GE, PERMANENT AND IN CREASING PAY HOLD From Our Manufacturing Indus tries Gives Substantial Basis Tor Prosperity. Cedartown-has a solid and perma nent foundation for her present pros perity. u j s iijjyjjj. U p 0n a ro,.]^” an d 1 s r f. u P ers *' r ucture is substantial. you ever figure on tlie amount Did 0 cash turned loose in Cedartown ? v l : ry Saturday evening by our various industrial enterprises? -1 lie result of the calculation would surprise you by its size, and gratify you by its importance as a prosperity maker. A Standard tnan interviewed Mr. • 0. Pitts, theaccommodatingcashier of the Commercial Bank, on this sub ject the other day, the amounts for the various pay-rolls passing through his hands. Something over $7,500 a week, or between .$30,000 and $35,000 a month, or nearly $400,000 a year is paid out by these industries! the enterprises which make this gratifying showing for Cedartown are the Cedartown Cotton Company, the Alabama and Georgia Iron Company, the North Georgia Mining Company, the VValineta Knitting Mills, the G. Featlierston Mining Company, the East & West and C. R. & S. railroads, the W. W. Prior Foundry, G. W. Lindsey’s coaling operations, and the new Standard Mills now in process of construction. Just think of it—$7,500 a week in cash, the most of which goes over the counters of our merchants or finds its way to the pockets of onr house owners! And every one of these industries is constantly increasing its output and pay-roll, every one of them being in a growing and prosperous condition. This shows the importance to Cedar town of her manufacturing enter prises, and shows besides that Cedar- town’s foundation for prosperity is substantial and her future prospects unsurpassed in brightness. May these enterprises all prosper, and may others follow! The many friends of ex-Sheriff G. W. Bullard, of Buchanan, regret to learn of his’death by accident at Tal lapoosa last week Wednesday night, lie was spending the night there, and fell .from a second-story window, strik ing the ground on his head and death resulting from concussion of the brain. The opponents of tlie white primary are going to be as much surprised at the size of tlie vote on Wednesday, April 4th, as they were at the size of the recent white primary mass meet ing. The people are in earnest and aroused on this matter, and there is a land-slide of popular wrath awaiting any scheming politicians who may op pose it. Cedartown, the queen city of the rich and resourceful Cedar Valley, is given considerable space in this issue of the Tribune. It is one of the most enterprising and progressive cities of its size in the South, and has had re cently a wonderful industrial awaken- Sucli enterprise as Cedartown shows is deserving of the prosperity that city enjoys,—Rome Tribune, 18th. lion. C. G.-Janes, and lion. W. T. Roberts, the popular Judge and So licitor General respectively of this ju dicial circuit, express themselves as highly gratified at tlie action of the State Democratic Executive Committee ordering circuit primaries for tlie selection of Judges and Solicitors. They pronounce it the only sure and fair method of registering tlie choice of the people of each circuit, and strongly favor the plan.

The fourth and last week of Polk Superior Court closed yesterday- afternoon, and Judge Janes finished up the work of the mills of Justice this morning by passing sinenses on all parties convicted. AH court officials rounded out an especially good record lor the term just closed, and. they deserve the thanks of the people for the prompt ness and dispaleh with which the public business oi the county has been transacted.

Judge Janes is whittling down thp docket in Polk county where litiga tion had congested for years, and now the court calendar is the small est it has been for fifteen or twenty years. He is growing in public favor as an able'and impartial jurist, and the dockets of all four counties the judicial circuit show the inis mense amount of litigation he has waded through to reduce t he busi ness of the courts to their present gratifying conditions.

Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhappiness. Just as there Is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health. A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look well while the organs that make her a woman are weak or diseased. She must be healthy inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There are thousands of women suffering silently all over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence. While there is nothing more admirable than a modest woman, health is of the first importance. Every other con sideration should give way before it.
