To the Voters of Polk Couni y:-I have, for some time, contemplated en tering the race for Sherift of Polk county. I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement of the question its to whether or not a. white primary would be hold f' r the selection of county officers, being unable to buy votes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were able to buv them. 1 rat question being settled, since nearlj'all the people of the county who have expressed their wishes and opinions on the subject have pro nounced in favor of a white primary, and the Committee the people elected to manage it have called for a white pri mary to he held on August the lath for the selection of county officers, I feel that there is an open field aud a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon their merits and qualifications for office. I, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date aboye men tioned. If I am not the nominee of the white voters of the county for that of- tic", I am for the man who is. If elected. I shall endeavor to show my apprecia tion of the confidence my fellow-citi zens repose in me by making the best officer in my power. My Deputies will be announced later. J. C. Knight. R.

Adamson has been home the past week from Philadel phia, where he is vigorously pushing the development enterprises of the Cedartown Company. Mr. Adamson says that Northern capital was never so ready and eager for Southern investment as at pres ent,and he has ample assurances that he will be able to interest capitalists . largely in Cedartown. “I fully expect,” says Mr. Adam son, “that during the next two years Cedartown will take on sueh growth as Birmingham enjoyed during her boom period.” And with our present cotton and iron industries and the location of others which Mr. Adamson now lias well under way,to say nothing about the great natural resources of tills vicinily, Cedartown will have the healthiest sort of a basis for such u rapid growth. For instance, Mr. Adamson Is now negotiating with Philadelphia capi talists tor the location here of a mammoth export mill with 50,000 spindles and 3,000 looms, which* would employ about 3,000 hands. This is a big thing, and it will lake time to get it, but those who are familiar with Mr. Adamson’s record as a successful promoter of industrial enterprises, will have no doubt of his ability to land this rich prize for Cedartown. Besides this Mr. Adam son is figuring on a box and crate factory and another cotton factory. Mr. Adamson attended the meet ing of the Southern Yarn Spinners’ Association, of which he is the hon ored president, in Charlotte, N. C., last week, ar.d will return to Phila delphia today, where he will con tinue his work of hustling for Cedar town. He has the solid backing oi Cedartown in his effiris, which we trust will | r >v« liappi y suras-ful.
