Inasmuch as *no ono was appointed at the White Primary Mass Meeting to call the Primary Committee together,as Chairman of that meeting X hereby re quest all members of the Primary Com mittee elected yesterday to meet at the Court House at 1 p. m. on Saturday, April 14th, for the purpose of organiz ing and arranging for White Primary. 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. ]o‘2_T0l! 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 convention at the hospitable little city of Griffin, and the sessions have been harmonious and profitable. Ex-Governor W. J. Nortlien was honored by re-election as President, a AIR. K. W. COLLINS Elected to Kill Vacancy on Water and Light Commission. On the recommendation of the re maining members of the Wal er and Light Commission, the City Council at its meeting Tuesday evening elected Mr. Emmett W. Collins to fill the va cancy on the Board caused by the resig nation of Mr. J. Wright Adamson. Mr. Collins is an experienced water and light man, having himself served BAPTIST CONVENTION. GEORGIA BAPTISTS IX SESSION AT GRIFFIN. The Largest and Best Convention in the History of the Organization. ROOKMART’S MARBLE. OHIO CAPITALISTS TO DEVELOP BIG QUARRIES. President Hughes Here Saturday to Close the Deal. position for which his talents and 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. The hill provides that the counties of Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Chattooga, Gordon, Floyd, Bartow, Polk, Paulding, Haralson and Carroll, in the state of Georgia, shall constitute the Northwestern Division of the Northern Judicial District of Georgia, and a term of the circuit- and district courts for said district shall be held in said division at tlie city of Rome on the third Monday of May and the third Monday of November of each year. Capt. P. C. Harris, quartermaster or the 9th Infantry, sailed Saturday from the Philippines for home, on his special detail as a member of I lie Ex position Commission at Buffalo, N. Y. The appointment was a high honor to this gallant young officer, and his many relatives and friends here will be glad of his return from the antipodes. as superintendent of the city plant at Dawson, and will prove an especially valuable member of the Commission. The Board is now composed of Messrs. B. F. Lowther, H. N. YonDevander and E. W. Collins, and it would be very difficult to find three men in Cedartown better suited for the dutie3 of their re sponsible office. Mr. W. E. West, who is now in the Philippines as a member of the 2d Battalion, 43d U.S.V: L, writes that he likes the country—even if he diu have to go through a skirmish to get on terra lirina. In the Presbyterian church next Sabbath at 11 a. in., Rev. C. O’N.

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.
