Every thinkingand patriotic citizen rejoices at the present tendency among the white people of the South to bury their political differences and again come together. This tendency is es pecially marked by the widespread inauguration of white primaries ev erywliere in the South, in which all white citizens are eligible to vote. Our people have tried strife, and have found it disastrous to tile white people and inimical to the best inter ests of the colored element. As an erstwhile populist leader of Polk remarked the oilier day, “The heated cimpaigns between the Demoratic and populist parties in Georgia brought about conditions which everyone must deplore; the negro’s vote was sought after, that it is little wonder many of them got wrong notions, and I attribute to this fact the epidemic of rapes and lynchings with which the Souti) has been cursed during the past few years.” And what thinking citi zen, whatever his color, can doubt the correctness of this diagnosis? It is this situation more than any thing else which is bringing the white people of the South together through tile medium of the white primary, and the best men of both parties are hearty co-workers in the movement. In Polk it was the worthy chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee who first brought the matter to the atten tion of the white voters of the county; in Lincoln county it was tlTe populist committee; in Washington county the populist committee urges the erstwhile members of that party to enter into and abide by the white primary or dered by the Democratic committee. The white primaryTs to the interest of the negro as well as the white man. It does not disfranchise him, but it does eliminate the mercenary element from his politics and' is thus of real value to his race. The white primary will be of es pecial value in Polk. The develop ment of our miffing industries is bringing in a large influx of negroes (a gentleman is in .South Geoigia right now after a carload of thein'jiind they will be found very different from the good old “family darkies” of Polk. It is needless io say what lignre tliey would cut in our county politics if no white primary were held. When the prospective candidates count the cost of a scramble this year, which the agitation of the white pri mary will naturally make more ex pensive than ever, we believe tliey will see it to their own interest, as well as that of the county at large, to enter actively into the white primary and loyally abide its results. It is high time for the white people of the country to come together, and the white primary furnishes the fair est method of doing so. The Primary Committee has ordered a Non-Partisan White Primary for county otlicers to be held Wednesday, Aug. 15th, and now let. I lie candidates and people work together to make it the success it richly deserves to be. THE WHITE PRIMARY ORDERED to be heed wed NESDAY, AUG. 15, For C<>u,lt y Officers—Seven Districts Represented Saturday. J he White Primary; Committee met M* T a ^’ In P ,lrsllal >ce to the call of f r ‘ ' ^* Race, tlie honored chairman le " k't® Primary Mass Meeting the Committee faithfully carried out the will of the people by ordering a * on-Partisan White Primary for county officers to be heldon Wednes day, August 15th. Seven out of the eleven districts of ie county were represented at the meeting, i n spite of the strenuous ef forts made in certain well known quar ters to render the meeting a nullity. And the Committee was thoroughly harmonious in its action. They wisely took the position that the resolution introduced by Dr. D. M. Russell and unanimously adopted by the White l rimary Mass Meeting, followed by tile majority of 300 votes in favor of the movement, made it obligatory on them to call a primary at suitable time and under proper regulations. As will be seen from the following official report of meeting, every qual ified white voter in the county regard less of party,'is invited to. participate in the primary. While the Committee requests th.e Justices of the Peace and Notaries Public in eacii district to take charge of the election, it is of course understood that in event they do not, from providential or other reasons,the law provides that three freeholders in any district can hold the election. The Primary Committee has done wisely and well, and their action will be heartily commended by the. good peopleof the county who honestly fa vor reform in election methods. Pub lic sentiment is certain to crystallize rapidly in favor of the white primary movement, and by the lOtliof August no one will have the temerity to op pose it. Following is a full report of the pro ceedings of the Primary Committee meeting:— Rryan and Dewey wouldn’t make a bad combination for the Democrats to nominate on July 4th. President McKinley has signed the bill creating the new division of the Federal Court to be established at Rome. It is now “up to” the candidates and the people to fay whether or not the Non-Partisan White Primary on August 15th shall be a success or not. Remember that The Standard lias no candidates this year, but will cheer fully accept the nominees of the Whi te Primary. In tile meantime, we shall ■ treat all alike, fairly and squarely, and, incidentally, charge each and eicrj candidate $5 for his announce ment, casli in advance. Poor Porto Rico! She welcomed our forces with open arms,- thinkiiq, our rule would be preferable to that of Spain. But she didn’t know our pow erful tariff barons,who are the “power behind the throne” under a republican administration,or General Miles would have received bullets instead of gar lands when he landed at Ponce. The Poik County Democratic Exeoit- tive Committee at its meeting yester day ordered a primary, in accordance with the previous action of the State and Congressional Committees, to be held on May 15th for State House of ficers and Congressman, in which all legally qualified white voters who will abide the results of same are invited to participate. The Atlanta Journal has changed hands, lion. Hoke Smith and his asso ciates having sold out to Messrs. II. M. Atkinson, Morris Brandon and .las. R. Gray. Mr.Geo.H. Dickinson, a promi nent New York journalist,took charge of the property for them Tuesday. The Journal is one of the leading af ternoon papers of tlie South, and lias been successfully managed. The new proprietors have- secured a valuable property, and with added capital and talent will largely increase its “sphere of influence.” President C. B, Wilburn, of tlie C. R. & S. road, was in tlie'city Monday on important business. Mr. Wilburn isbiie of the best railroad'men 111 tile country, and is making for the stock holders of the Chattanooga, Rome & Southern the largest dividends that road lias ever paid. The present man agement. is reaching out for trade, and it is expected that this road will soon have more to do with Oedartown af fairs than heretofore. Mr. Wilburn lias just put on an accommodation train, oppcrqUug lroin Carrollton and connecting with the Southern at Bre men for Atlanta. The White. Primary Committee met at tlie Court House at 1 p.m. Saturday, 14th inst. Seven districts were represented: Cedartown, Rockinart (by proxy,) Antioch, Fish, Young’s, Bluomin Grove and Esom Hill. Mr. Joe II. Dodds was elected chairman, and Mr. E. B. Russell secretary. The date for holding the primary was fixed for Wednesday, Aug. 15th'; and the Justices of the Pence and Notaries Public were made managers of this primary election, with the privilege of choosing their own assist ants; tlie returns to be consolidated at the Court House by 1 p. m. on the following day. The following resolution was unani mously adopted:— Whereas, It having been long ap parent to even casual observers that our present mode of selecting officers was open to grave criticism from any point of view; and, A call having been issued in tlie early part of this year, signed by many good citizens of all parties, ask ing that the white people of the county, irrespective of party, assemble at the Court House on a certain day to con sult together and devise some plan .of relief or reform; and. This meeting having been held and attended by a large and representative gathering of the good citizens of the county, and this public meeting hav ing decided by a unanimous vote to test the sentiment of tlie county on the subject by holding a primary election on the 4th of the present month, and directing that if a major ity of tlie votes cast at said election he in favor of a white primary for the nomination of county officers, then the Primary Committee voted for at said election should order a white pri mary to be held at such time as best suited farming interests, etc., Therefore, In order to carry out the expressed wishes of the people as voiced in said election held on tlie 4th day of April, we tlie Managers or Pri mary Committee hereby order a White Primary for tlie naming of county officers to be held on the 15tli day of August ft ext, in which all legally qualified white voters,irrespec tive of party,are invited to participate. Tile-candidate for each office receiv ing tlie highest number of votes shall he declared the nominee of the Non- Partisan White Primary. COTTON YARN ADVANCE. SOUTHERN HOSIERY SPINNERS’ ASSOCIATION MET AT CHARLOTTE. President Charles Adamson, of Ce* dartown, Presided Over 1 he Body— lie Spoke Interestingly of Condi- lion of Southern Spinners. DEATH OF MRS. WOOD. Charlotte, N. C., April 13.—The Souther Hosiery Yarn Spinners’ Asso ciation met in regular session in this city yesterday afternoon, adopted an advance, schedule of prices, and agreed with oinmi-.-iori merchants of Philadelphia, New York and Boston to abolish the payment by the mills of what 7 is' termed “second freights.” President Charles Adamson, of Cedar- town, Ga., presided. Tlie committee on price schedule reported, and after a full discussion a general advance was agreed upon. Mr. Charles Adamson, of Cedartown, Ga., president of the association, was asked about the prospect of increased price for hosiery yarns. He replied that in his opinion as long as the pres ent prosperous condition of the country continues there will be no decline in prices^ particularly on hosiery yarns. While now there is an apparent lull in tlie demand,” continued Mr. Adamson, “which might lead one to think that prices are softening, yet this is due to the fact that mills are full of orders and sold ahead, and also to the fact that the knitters are ltopin for a break in prices and are only buy ing what is'immediately needed with out placing any future orders. In ad dition to these facts, certain commis sion men in the East, working on plan somewhat similar to what was .1 - —. *1 n .ml-*V.* 1 tit! 1 li 4-1, -» .1 Gen. Ludlow has been ro-called from Cuba, where he has been in command of tlie city of Havana, and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has been ordered to suc ceed him in command of the new de partment of Havana and Pinardel Rio. Gen. Lee will win fresh lanrels in this important position, which lie should have held from the first. done in connection with tin cotton market, are trying to give the idea that markets, are declining in order to buy cheaply and' speculate. The pres ent price of cotton.and the known fact that Liverpool buyers have been badly caught this year and are short on cot ton for the requirements of the Eng lish mills, and also from the fact -that many mills will have to have more cot ton yet, will bring all buyers early the new crop season,and cotton won come down very soon after the new crop comes in “An examination of cotton prices fifty years hack will show that the price of cotton,like that of iron,moves in cycles—and a successful analysis indicates that in 1000 and 15)01 cotton will be high. “Until the weave mills cease doin tlie business they now are,the' hosiery men need have no apprehension ab >ut prices “Another factor that is opening op to cotton manufacturers is export trade. With the Philippines and the open-door in China, our country is on tlie eve of expansion in all lines of trade,and particularly tlie cotton trade that will only stop when the cotton trade of the world is in the hands of the American manufacturers,the same as tlie iron trade now is. “The projection of new mills mostly in the South. Therefore behooves the- .South to support move ments to extend this trade. Tlie prof its may not be large, but tlie demand is practically unlimited, and in my opinion we should all pay more atten tion to export than to any other line of goods. It is possible that some depression may for a short time show itself about the time of tlie presidential election but that will be short. With the re lection of President McKinley the country lias a certainty of four years more of prosperity. Our finances are now on a gold basis, and taking broad view of the situation, I can see no reason why the present prosperity and prices should not continue and form the greatest period of success in manufactures America has ever seen I am in a position to judge with toler able accuracy the feeling of Eastern capitaists with regard to manufactures. I am much in Philadelphia and am in close touch with some of the leadin.. ’ uvyers there, and it is easier now than ever to -interest capital in any nterpriess,and especially in Southern enterprises. “Philadelphia, which is one of the argest manufacturing cities in tlie United States, lias not given so much attention to factories in the South as New England has, but this is now changed, and f believe that before I011 the Philadelphia people will find the largest field for cotton manufacture in the South. “I am now formulating plans to- bnild a large export mill in connection with our cotton interests in Gedar- town.” The people of Rome should insist on the Constitution and Journal getting new correspondents in that city. They have a habit of claiming as Rome en terprises everything from Chattanoog to Columbus,which is right “gagging 1 to those who know better. For instance one of them the other day wrote of the new mills at Aragon, built in Polk county by New York capital, as a Rome institution. Twerity miles from Rome (and only thirteen miles from Cedartown, by tlie way,) and not a dollar of Rome money in it-yet a Rome enterprise, forsooth! Mr. .1. C. Knight is tlie first to an nounce his candidacy for county of fice, and his announcement for Sheriff makes interestingreading.

Davis died last- Thurs day, and funeral services were con ducted Friday morning at the Metho dist church. She was a highly re spected lady, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of all. ’Squire W. N. Strange represented the Rockinart Presbyterian church at the meeting of the Cherokee Presby- once. Mr. O. Davis is off to Thoinasvilie „ , , |aml Bainbridge in charge of some Hon. John 1. Morgan, the veteran | big jobs of slate roofing. Mr. T. J. Jenkins is home from an Alabama statesman, will succeed him self as United States Senator from our sister state. A warm contest lias been waging between Senator Morgan and Governor Johnston for this coveted position, and the result of Democratic primaries Saturday show tlie latter to be the worst beaten man who ever sought high office in that state. ’The people wanted Senator Morgan to re main in the Senate, and there is no better method of ascertaining the will of the people than by the primary method. The people of Georgia on May 15th will express their preference for Senator Bacon in tlie same way. The election of Mr. Joint M. Egan as President of the Central Railroad last Monday by tlie Board of Direc tors was the eminently proper thing for that road’s highest interests. As Vice President, Mr. Egan demonstra ted his ability and value as an execu tive officer, and the wisdom of his selection as the head- of the Central will commend itself to the patrons of that great system and die public gen erally. He is not only broad-minded and liberal, but is a shrewd manager and a sagacious adviser. There is no more popular railway official in Gcor- in, and the owner enjoyable trip to Texas. Mr. and Mrs. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jnnes were guests of their aunt, Mrs Ivy Thomp son, in Cedartown over Sunday. Revival services closed Sunday eve ning at tlie Methodist church, after a very successful series of meetings. Rev. \V. A. Harris was assisted in con ducting them by Rev. T. R. McCartj, of Cedartown, and there were a large number of conversions—in fact, it was tlie greatest religious revival Rockinart lias seen for many years. There were thirty-live' accessions to the Methodist church, and about twenty to the other churches of the town. His Life Was Saved. Mr. .T. E. Lilly,a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful dealh. In telling of it lie says: “I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hard ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up in lied. Nothing helped me. I expected to.soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis covery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong. I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvelous medicine is| of that splendid I the surest and quickest curo_ in the Wife of JDne of Polk’s Prominent Citizens Passes Away. Mrs. Bessie Wood, wife of Mr. Chas. J A. Wood of Prior’s Station, passed away last Friday evening, after several months of failing health, aged thirty- one years, leaving a husband and three bright little girls to mourn their irrep arable loss. Mrs. 'Wood was a daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Jas. Prior, and thus by birth and her marriage with Mr. Wood, belonged to two of Polk’s oldest and best families. In her young girlhood she united with the Methodist el-nroli in Cedartown,and has ever led a devoted Christian life. She was a lady of fine character ard sweet disposition, and waB beloved by all who knew her. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church here Sunday after noon, conducted by Revs. T. R. Mc Carty, G. E. Benedict and C. K. Hen derson, and the crowded church showed the esteem in which this excellent lady and her family are held. An especially sad feature of the fu neral scene was the arrival at the. grave of Mrs. Daisy Rose, the sister of the deceased, who received the sad message of her Bister’s death Friday night at her home in Cameron, Tex., and by provi dentially quick connections arrived at the cemetery jiist in time ior the burial. The bereaved family Jiave ,the heart felt sympathy of a large circle of rela tives and friends in their great afflic tion. Well Dressed I BURGLARY AT WRIGHT HOUSE. Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock while supper was in progress at the Wright House, a thief entered that hotel from the front stairway pre suinably and went through some of the room's searching for valuables: Several doors were ielt unlocked,and the marauder seized an overcoat and thrpe grips. Gnbe Greer, the negro call boy, started up tlie rear stairway from the main hallway for some purpose, and when halfway up he discovered a man on the second floor in the act «f turning out the electric light. .Tlie thief with his. booty ran over the eall boy, knocking the latter down and"escaping through the back door. In the scramble to get away, the overcoat and two grips were dropped.but the fleeing burglar took along with him the grip of Mr. Joseph Warburton, which contained $15 in money, two cheeks on foreign banks and some papers No clew to the idenity of the man has yet been obtained,the call boy being so fright ened that he says he never dis covered the color of the thief.

The principal office and place of Of a Former Well Known Cedar- town Gentleman—The. Original and Only “Colonel” W. R. Young. “Col.” Bill Young, of Dallas, Tex., dropped in on his old Cedartown friends unawares last Saturday night fresh from New York, and, like ihe bird of passage that he is, hied him self away Monday to the realm of the “dippers” in the Lone Star Empire. The genial Colonel has just, been in conference with the general officers of the American Tobacco Company, the gigantic trust which has absorbed all branches of the tobacco trade—chew ing and smoking, cigarettes and snnlf. This aggregation is capitalized at $85,- 000,000, and is operated from head quarters in New 'York City. Under the ' re-organization, the “weeding out” process shelved many of the former employees, and in the general shuffle several good men got left. But Cedartown has a knack of get ting there, and her hustling ^nd tal ented sons generally carry off the lion’s share of honors and emolu ments. Col. Young was one of the fortu- nates who made a landing,and the fact of liis retention in the service as one of tbe chiefs of divisions is asplendid compliment to his generalship and tact, and is the highest evidence of his business ability. His selection meant a turn down for four other managers of long experience in the trade, and was a deserved tribute to his worth and a handsome recognition of bis value to the snuff companies. He is assigned to practically the same territory that was under his former control, his headquarters remaining at Dallas, 'Tex., and still enjoys as here tofore a very tine salary. Two other Cedartown “boys,” who are excellent salesmen, Messrs. Char ley Barton and Tom Cornelius, are re tained under the new management. In the spirited contest for places, these two gentlemen had tlie valuable friendship and aid of Col. Young, and although equally as good salesmen were left off the list, Messrs. Barton and Cornelius will be the more warmly congratulated ill their retention in tlie service of the company. Thk Standard is among tile bust of friends of these three gentlemen who wish them continued good fortune and promotion in the business world. NOTICE TO TEACHERS.
