ROME DID—CEDARTOWN DIDN’T.
The Standard last week entered a
modest protest against the long-con
tinued practice of til ’ Koine corres
pondents for metropolitan journals in
claiming the entire face of the earth
for,Koine,and it seems to have aronsed
the ire of our clever brethren of the
“great and good” Rome Tribune, as
will be seen from the following screed
in its Saturday’s edition:—
“TOO BAD, TOO BAD—T11E GREEN-EYED

CEDARTOWN
If Gedartown Will Offer t he Custom
ary Reasonable Inducements.
& COLEMAN.
“Who would have believed it?
“The ‘green-eyed monster’ now doth
tear and rend the placid, smooth tem
pers of those two worthy gentlemen,
Messrs. Russell & Coleman, who guide
the destiny of that most excellent
journal, The Cedartown Standard.
Alas and alack! Listen to their plaint |-'
of woe:—
“ ‘The people of Kome should insist
on the Constitution and Journal get
ting new correspondents in that city
They haveahabitof chiimingas Rome
enterprises everything from Chatta
nooga to Columbus, which is right
“gagging” to those who know better,
For instance, one of them the other
day wrote of tile new mill at Aragon
built in Folk county by New York cap
ital, as a Rome istitution. Twenty
miles from Kome (and only thirteen
miles from Cedartown, by the way,
and not a dollar of Kome money in it
—yet a Kome enterprise, forsooth!’
“Let’s see, our good and rotund
friends. Mayhap Rome has not a dol
lar in tiie Aragon mills, but lias Cedar-
town?
“The best you can claim is that tbe
mill is situated on tbe soil of good old
Folk, of which Cedartown lias the dis
tinction of being the county seat, but
the Aragon mills do all their bankin
in Rome and no small part of" their
trading also. Tbe Howell Cotton
Company furnishes the bulk of cotton
used by them. Don’t it strike you
tiiat Koine lias tbe bigger claim on the
Aragon mills from a commercial view
point?
“In the meanwhile it is probable that
tbe present Koine correspondents for
the Constitution and Journal will con
tinue at tile same old stand in the same
old way. Verbuin Sap.” *
“Verbiun Sap,” eli! Well, speakin
of “sap,” did you ever see such a
spring-time exhibition of sappiness as
the above?
Cedartown lias laid no claim to the
Aragon mills, though we are frank to
say that we wisli we could. It is a hi,
enterprise, with good men and big
capital back of it,and we would like
to see every section of Folk county se
cure a like investment of capital for
manufacturing purposes. Cedartown
didn’t claim it, but Kome did—and
that’s where the sap shows itself—see?
Now, Kome is a good town,tile Kome
Tribune is a good paper, and the Rome
correspondents are clever fellows, and
they all deserve everything they get—
both good and bad,—and we wish them
all well. All we ask is that they re
member that it takes Koine capital in
vested in Folk to make anythin
within our boundaries a Rome enter
prise. Tbe Aragon mills will pay their
taxes in Folk, we are happy to say,
thus benefiting the entire county, and
it is Folk county farmers who will be
benefited by the market newly created
by the big factory. In the meantime,
The Standard will rejoice with the
Tribune if Kome really succeeds in
getting a big mill of any kind within
her own borders. We hate to see her
obliged to go out from twenty to fifty
miles, doncherknow, to find something
to claim.
V. bat argument can any man with
pure motives advance againstthe hold
ing of a white primary?

Unless a candidate has done some

respect of good white people, we are
at a loss to see why lie should object
to going into a white primary.

siderable distance.
1 he Southern Railway would like to
ex A e Dd this spur to Cedartown.
this is a “straight tip,” and our
people can rely upon tbe truth of
the statement that the great Southern
Railway system is knocking at pur
door and seeking admission.
there are always certain considera
tions as to right-of-way and terminal
facilities which have to be arranged
for in order to secure a new line of
railway for any town, and we have
positive assurance that this is all that
stands in the way of the Southern ex
tending its line at once to Cedartown.
No one can doubt that its coining
would be of inestimable value to
Cedartown and to every property-
owner along tiie proposed route. There
is a large tract of valuable mineral
property which would be opened up
all along the new- line, and we have no
doubt that every land-owner will con
sider himself fortunate to have the
road pass through his place, and will
gladly and freely give the right-of-
way. It. is just wiiat they need to
make their ores available, and they
cannot fail to appreciate the advan
tage of securing it.
The same applies--with equal force
to the Cedartown land-owners through
whose property the line must pass.
The coming of the road and tlie loca
tion of the terminal facilities on their
property will greatly enhance the
value, besides giving the virions in
dustries of our growing city increased
shipping facilities.
There should be organized effort at
once to see that the right-of-way from
the bridge over Big Cedar creek to
Cedartown and the desired terminal
facilities are secured at once. The
opportunity to secure such a rich prize
for Cedartown :nl the sum utdin.

Southern asks only what, is reasonable
and customary, and it should not he

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
COUNTRY VOTER HEARD FROM.
Messrs. Editors :—Some of
backwoodsmen over in the“East-End”
are, to put it mildly, surprised at tiie
attitude of certain candidates, and
their organ, on the white primary
question. The proposition or assump
tion on their part that reforms of any
kind—even political reforms—should
not he undertaken by the people with
out the advice and consent of a few of
fice-hunters is, to say the least, not
distinguished for its modesty. True,
tliey do not state it in these words;
they are merely insisting now that it
is “unjust and unfair” to candidates to
try to force them to go before men of
their own color and plead their claims
for office. A little later we will prob
ably hear from this same source that
it is really outrageous for the respect
able white people of the county to
even think of having a white primary
until those worthies give permission!
.It does seem a’triile hard, wjien you
ome to think of it, that the hungry
hunter for an office should have to
suimiit his chances to tiie judgment of
sober white men, don’t it, now! Per
haps tliis great inorafaml political re
form moveihefit'should be abandoned
by the thousand or so of unimportant
citizens wiio desire to see it suceeel,
rather than to offend the tender sen
sibility of those -worthy gentlemen—
tiie candidates! ”

AT THE FURNACE-
The Alabama & Georgia Iron Com
pany are making some much-needed
repairs at their furnace in this city,
and it was found necessary to sus
pend operations last Saturday. The
fires were accordingly blown out, and
the work of repairing at once began
on the furnace.
Everything is being pushed along as
rapidly as possible,and the old “Chero
kee” will light her fires again in about,
two weeks. In the meantime, the
company is piling up materials of
every kind in the stock houses, and in
ar few days an immense amount of
of charcoal, iron ore, lime rock and
coke will be stored for use on tile re
sumption of pig-iron making.
Mr. Jas. K. Barber, the well known
and popular local manager of the fur
nace, who has held that position for
twentj years, has resigned, the same
to take effect May 1st. The iron com
pany has not yet determined on his
successor.
The company has begun work at
Grady on a large four-log washer,
which is to be thoroughly modern and
equipped with • up-to-date appliances
of every kind. When tliey begin ore
raising at tiiis plant, several hundred
tons of iron ore will be mined and
shipped daily from Grady.

Senator Clark, of Montana, was
elected to the United States Senate by
the same boodle methods .that gave
Mark Ilanna, of Ohio, a seat in that

probably accounted for by the fact that
Clark is a Democrat.

Cedartown, Ga;; April 24, 1903:
Eds. Standard :— 1 There lias hetn
birculated in Polk a misstatement of
fact, and an erroneous conclusion
therefrom, which should be corrected.
It has been said that there were only
six members of the White Primary.
Committee present at the meeting
which ordered the White Primary for
August lath. As a matter of fact,
there were seven out of the eleven dis
tricts represented, as follows:
Antioch—P. A. McBride; Blooming
Grove-.- R. R. McKibben; Esom Hill—
J. M. Torrence; Fish—M. F. Waddell
and L. Y. Jackson (tiie latter having
also, the proxy of the third committee
man, Jas. Sorells>; Young’s—W. T.
Lee and D. F. Neese; Mr. J. A. Fam-
bro, of Rockmart, asked Mr. T. M.
Pace to appoint a proxy for him, and
Mr. E. B. Russel] represented.that- dis
trict by his appointment; and J. H.
Dodds represented Cedartown dis
trict.
Some of the members of the commit
ted were providentially detained from
being present. For instance, in Cedar
town district, Mr. J. A. Orehaugli, one
of the staunchest white primary men
in the county, was confined to his bed
by illness. Hon. J. S, Davitte, of
Buncombe, and Eider W. II. Hamrick,
of Blooming Grove, were also sick, and
lion. J. L. Branch, of Esom Hill, was
likewise prevented by illness from at
tending, but sent a letter to the meet
ing strongly endorsing the movement.
Mr. C. A. Wood, of tbe 17th,could not
attend on account of the fatal illness of
his wife, and I have no doubt that
others were kept away by other reasons
than lack of interest in this great re
form movement. As is well known,
all these mentioned are staunch advo
cates of the white primary. It is pos
sible, of course, that some yielded to
the pressure brought to bear by anti-
white primary men, hut an investiga
tion will show that a large majority of
the White Primary Committee elected
May 4th are heartily in favor of the
holding of the white primary on Aug.
15th.
The inference Unit the committee
triejl to force the white primary on the
people is not borne out by tiie facts.
It would be much nearer the truth to
say -that three or four men in the
county are trying to trick or force the
people into not holding one. The reso
lutions adopted by the mass meeting,
followed by a majority of 300 ill favor
of the white primary at tiie polls, left
tlm Committee With nothing else to do
but to fix the time and prescribe the
regulations for holding the primary.
The Committee looked upon it as their
duty to regard tiie will and protect the
interests of the great majority of the
white people of the county, rather
flan to yield to the wishes of a few
candidates-who may think they have a
stronger following with the colored
than with the white race.
I am convinced that the Committee
acted wisely and in accordance with
tiie wishes and commands of the white
voters of tile county, and I have no
apologies to offer to anyone for my
part ill it. The White Primary Com
mittee is composed of men who do not
try to force any measure' on tiie peo-
pl“,but who cannot-be forced todoany-
tliing hot- their simple duty in such an
important matter. Committeeman.

prevents nine-tenths of the
suffering incident to child
birth. The coming mother’s
disposition and temper remain unruffled
throughout the ordeal, because this relax

usual distress. A good-natured mother
is pretty sure to have a good-natured child.
The patient is kept in a strong, healthy
condition, which the child also inherits.

crisis quickly and almost painlessly. II

off the dangers that so often follow de
