A REUNITED PEOPf E.
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

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.

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.

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

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

President Charles Adamson, of Ce*

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

Gen. Ludlow has been ro-called from
Cuba, where he has been in command
of tlie city of Havana, and Gen.

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!

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

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.

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.

Every woman in tlie country’
ought to know about
’s
rW
Those who do know about it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It has robbed child
birth of its terrors for many a
young wife. It has preserved her
girlish figure and save 1 her much
suffering. It is an external lini
ment and cariies with it therefore,
absolutely no danger of upsetting
the system as drugs taken intern
ally are apt to do. It is to be
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen the muscles which
are to bear the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning sickness and all of the
other discomforts of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, Ga., says:
“ I have sold a large quantity of
Mother’s Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to produce the good results
claimed for it.”
A prominent lady of ’ Lam-
berton. Ark., writes: “ With my
fust six children 1 was in labor
from 24 to 30 hours. After using
Mother’s Friend, my seventh was
born in 4 hours.”
