Chairman of that meeting X hereby re
quest all members of the Primary Com
mittee elected yesterday to meet at the

This April 5th, 1900.
T. M. Pace,
Climr. White Primary Mass Meeting.
And now keep your eye on some of
tlie professed friends of tlie white pri
mary movement!
Messrs. Majors & Speer have started
a daily at Newnan, and are getting
out a bright little paper.
The State Teachers! Association will
convene at Cumberland Island from
June 26th to 30th inclusive.
The Polk County Teachers’ Associa
tion meets at Rockmart nest Saturday,
with an interesting program.
And now all together—candidates
and people—to make the white pri
mary t he success it deserves to be!
Chattanooga will have her usual May
Festival lasting from Monday, May
7th, to Saturday, May 12th, inclusive.
Allen Fuller, colored, was hanged
Monday at Macon for the murder of
Mrs. Eugenia Pottle on the night of
Nov. 20th.
The local elections Monday in tlie
North and West give about equal
comfort to both Democrats and Re
publicans.
It looks very much now as- if lion.
John W. Maddox would have no oppo
sition for re-election to Congress. And
he should have none.
Capt. R. G. Clark, one of Rome’s
oldest and wealthiest citizens, died
last week, lie was well known
throughout this section.
New houses,extensive improvements
and repairs, new paint—that is the
order of the day in Cedartown! And
we.can’t have too much of it!
Who will be the nominees for the
Vice President on the Democratic and
Republican tickets? It is easy to
"“throw heads,” but liow about “tails?”.
Cedartown is on a building boom,but
there is a pressing and constantly in
creasing demand for houses. Houses to
rent are a fine paying investment herb.
The British did not have tilings all
their own way in South Africa last
week, the Boers proving victorious in
the hard lighting of some minor en
gagements.
Tlie Southern Home Building and
Loan Association, of Atlanta, was put
in tlie hands of a receives yesterday.
Atlanta seems to furnish quite a grave
yard for such enterprises.
And now it is reported that Admiral
Dewey, the hereof Manila,hat re-con
sidered and would lie willing to accept
a nomination for President. Is this a
move to sidetrack Iiryan or McKinley?
General Piet Joubert, the gallant
commander-in-chief of the Boer forces,
died last week from disease at Pretoria,
South Africa. His death is a severe
blow to the Boer cause. lie is suc
ceeded in command by Gen. Louis
Botha.
Tlie republicans oil Tuesday forced
their Porto Rican tariff iniquity
through the United States Senate, as
was expected. All- the republicans
liut six vowtl for it, and all the Demo
crats but one against it. The repub
licans, by weakly yielding to the de
mands of the rich protected corpora
tions in return for promises of cam
paign hoodie, have put their party in
a hole from which they will lintl it
hard to extricate themselves.

WAS CEDaRtowN’S vote in fa-
'°R OF WHITE PltlMARV
1,1 <he Election Vesterday-And That
is About the Proportion of Sen
timent in the County.
1 here was a very light vote yester
day on tlie white primary question—
just as both the friends and enemies of
the measure expected.
Good men have been working ear
nestly for the measure, and popular
sentiment throughout the county is
overwhelmingly in favor of it.
But—
Ihe people did not take suflieient
interest to turn out and vote as they
should on such a momentous issue.
life “initiative and ' referendum”
plan never calls out a large vote, the
element of personal championship of
or antagonism to individuals being
eliminated. And while the vote yes
terday was small, the proportion in
favor of the white primary was grati-
fyingly large.
Cedartown district gave 152 to 1 in
favor of tlie Non-Partisan White Pri
mary, and Young’s gave 6 to 1. Exact
returns are not in from other districts,
hut at Fish yesterday over 40 had been
polled in favor of it and none against it
before noon, at Rockmait 24 to 0,
at Esom Hill 12 to 0, and at
Lake 'Creek at that hour it stood
about 12 to 1. The returns will not
come in till noon today, bnt it is reason
able to estimate that Jover 300 votes
were polled yesterday in favor of the
measure—not a large number—not one-
third as large as it should have been,
but the candidate who goes into a race
with that number of good white men
backing him as the white men’s candi
date is certain of election.
The following excellent Primary
Committee was elected yesterday
Cedartown—Joe II. Dodds, J. A.
Orebatigh, J. K. Howard.
Rockmart—J. A. Fatnbro, J. M.
Carlton, F. M. Randall.
Buncombe—J. S. Davitte, 11. B. Mc
Gregor, W. W. Camp.
Browning’s—F. II. MarbuE, J. W.
Lowe, M. II. Mosely.
Antioch—R. W. Everett, W. K. Rus
sell, P. A. McBride.
Fish—L. Y. Jackson, Jas. Sorrells,
M. F. Waddell.
Young’s—D. F. Neese, W. T. Lee,
F. P. Jones.
Blooming Grove—W. II. Hamrick,
R. R. McKibbin, W. E. Casey.
Lake Creek—Willis Reynolds, J. II.
Jordan, J. A. Tucker.
Esom Ilill—J. L. Branch, 6. M. Is
bell, IV. IV. Wheeler.
Hampton’s—C. A. Wood, D. N.
Hampton, J. N. Blankinsliip.
We presume this Primary Committee
will bo called together at once to carry
out the pnrpose for which they have
been elected. They are good men,
with backbone sufficient to do their full
duty, and there is no doubt that they
will order a white primary at a suitable
time and nuder wholesome regulations.
The various counties of Georgia are
lapidly falling into line for the white
primary for county officers, and Polk
must keep her place in Hie procession
of progress and decency.
The Baptists of Georgia have been
bolding a large and most enjoyable

ripe experience well qualify him.
Rev. Jo L. Gross, formerly a popular
member of the Cedartown bar, is in
charge of the Baptist church at
Griffin, and played the part of host to
the Convention in a most acceptable
manner.
Large amounts of money were raised
for the Orphans’ Home,the Missionary
cause, and other church enterprises,
and the affairs of the great Baptist
church in Georgia were shown to be in
a happily prosperous condition.
Rev. C. K. Henderson, the honored
pastor of the Cedartown church, was
a prominent figure in the Convention,
and was complimented by one of the
most desirable assignments of the
session—that of filling the pulpit, of
the First Baptist church bn Sunday
evening. It is needless to add that lie
filled the assignment with marked
ability.
The next session of the Convention
will be held at Valdosta.
ROME WILL GET A COURT.
Washington, April 3.—The House
Committee on Judiciary decided tc-
ilay.to give a favorable report to Judge
Maddox’s bill creating tlie Northwest
ern Division of the Northern District
of Georgia and establishing a court at
Rome. Tile sub-committee, of which
Mr. Fleming, of Georgia, was a mem
ber, made a favorable report to the full
committee. Judge Maddox went be
fore the committee this morning, and
the result of his presentation of the
facts in support- of his bill was a unan
imous report in its favor. Mr. Flem
ing drew the report. With this action
tiler > is no doubt of the passage of the
bill at this session.

of Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield,

Dawson, and will prove an especially
valuable member of the Commission.
The Board is now composed of Messrs.
B. F. Lowther, H. N. YonDevander

difficult to find three men in Cedartown
better suited for the dutie3 of their re
sponsible office.

A FALSE RUMOR.
Considerable excitement was oc
casioned in town Monday night by a
report that there was a case of sina'l
pox in the city.
Dr. .J A. Liddell, as chairman of
the Board of Health, and brother
physicians promptly proceeded to
thoroughly investigate the cast*, and
found that the alleged “suspect” not
only had no symptoms of the dis
ease, but had not been exposed to it.
Our city authorities are on tlie
lookout,mid will deal promptly with
any and all cases of contagious dis
ease which may by any possibility
creep in.

Fish, was in town Thursday. He is
just getting about again after a long
illness caused by an accidental fall
from a gin platform last October.
Every woman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own, will nestle in her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture in her mind,
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
of the joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
Kole^s Friend
which makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
