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 MOXSTKIt HAUNTS EDITORS RUSSELL SOUTHERN RAILWAY EAN BE INDUCED TO COME TO 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? Hon. W. J. 8amford, who will most likely be Alabama’s next (governor, -Was born in Greenville, Meriwether county, Ga. Onr troops in the Philippines killed and captured about a thousand Fili pino “rebels” last week; and yet Gen. Otis lias been reporting regularly for several weeks that the war is over. Unless a candidate has done some thing which lie feels would forfeit tbe respect of good white people, we are at a loss to see why lie should object to going into a white primary. Cedartown will be a little north of the line of totality- of the eclipse of the sun on May 28th,blit it will be very- distinct here. Astronomers are com ing to Georgia from all parts of tbe country, to view this great phenome non. There is an interesting race on hand for llie Judgeship of. the Cherokee Circuit. Judge A. W. Fite, tile-pres ent worthy incumbent, is a candidate , for re-election, and is opposed by Col. R. J. McCauiey, of Dalton.- Col. Sam >F. Maddox, the popular Solicitor Gen eral, has no opposition as yet. I lie spur of the Southern Railway from Cave Spring to Mr. Deliarde- leben’s new village,on Big Cedar creek, halt way to Cedartown, is progressing rapidly.-- The g ra( jj rj g, j s we n um i e r way, and track has been laid fora con 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. country is too gooil to be lost. The Southern asks only what, is reasonable and customary, and it should not he kept waiting in the matter. TELEPHONE POLES WANTED. 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! ” I suppose tliose aforesaid olliee-liimt- The Alabama and Georgia Iron Company will be pleased to receivfe bids for oak or chestnut telephone poles to be delivered along the right of way of the E. & W. railroad, as follow.-:— From the Reed ore bank along the Woods!ock Branch line to the Wood ore bank; thence along the main liDe of the East & West road to Grady,—in all about ten miles. Poles to be the usual dimens sions, and distributed along the rail road as they will be used. Parties desiring contracts for all or any por tion of above work, should address or call on the company at their office in Cedartown. 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. Mr. Eugene Zimmerman,president of the Alabama & Georgia Iron Co. was in the city Saturday, lie left Sunday for Talladega, Ala. REGISTRARS’ NOTICE. The Board of Registrars for Polk County will meet at the Court Honso at 10 a. in., Monday, April :10th, for the purpose of purging the list of voters preparatory to the primary of May 15th. . J. L. Branch, Chmn. Elder W. II. Ilamrick, of Blooming Grove, formerly a prominent populist is a member of the White Primary Committee from his district, hut could not attend either the mass ineetinj the committee meeting on account of ill health. We are authorized to say however, that this sterling citizen was then and is now in favor of holdin the white prinmry for county officers in Folk. ROCKMAR'J NIC HA ers are “tile people” we have been hearing so much about as not favoring the white primary idea. Is there no way, Mr. Editor, to smoke out” those who are afraid of a white vote, and get them where they can be seen and known? Over in this neck o’ woods we want to know who tliey are. Just a White Voter 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 body. Yet Senator Clark is to lose his place, while “Marquis” Hanna holds on. Tiie difference in treatment is probably accounted for by the fact that Clark is a Democrat. Hon. Matt Quay, who was appointed Senator by the Governor of Pennsyl vania, will lose his seat in the United States Senate. The legislature failed to elect, and in accordance with Sena torial precedents in such cases, his credentials have not been accepted. Republican party feeling was so Mrs. E. IJ. Barber and Miss Witt Mosley ivero in your city last week shopping. Maj. J. A. Blanco nnd Col. W. W, Mundy, of the Cedartown bar, were in town Monday to attend Justice Court. Messrs. Jim Hays and Dan William son were in the Cedar City last Satur day on business. Mrs. M. E. Carpenter is visiting her daughter, Mrs 11. N. Upiuks, at Cedar town. The glorious April showers are mak ing the farmers look bine, and it looks now like an all wise Providence is so directing things that it will be impos sible to make a big cotton crop. Wheat and oats are looking well, and the prospects for a good wheat crop were never better. Mr. E. A. Heard, of Rome, was here last week looking after his farm and other interests. There is not an idle man around Rcckmart who wants to work. Every body here can find employment at rea sonable wages if they want it. Messrs. J. A. Morgan and John Hnl sey were in yonr burg Saturday. Mr. W. L. Craig, the enterprising slate and iron miner, jg in Atlanta this week. Col. J. O. Waddell, of Aragon, was in town Tuesday. Mrs. R. it. Beasley was in yonr city the first of this week, returning home Tuesday. Mr. H. H. Wingard, of Hamlet, was on onr streets this week. Mrs. C. R. Wingard, of Hamlet, was shopping in town Tuesday. Dr. R. R. Thompson and wife, of your city, are here this week to see the latter’s mother, Mrs, Minerva Morgan, who is very sick. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Adams, of the Ce dar City, came over Tuesday and are with friends in the city. Mrs. John B. Jones, of Walthrall, is in the city. The Masonic lodge will confer the third degree on some applicants here Tuesday night. Col. Max Myerhardt, of Rome, will be here, and an elegant snpper will be spread. Miss Mav Williamsom went to Cedar town Wednesday to spend a few clays with friends. IT I MLET ITEMS. Mr. John Brvant, Jr.,of Greensboro, strongly in his favor, however, that lie. is visiting the family of his unoie, Mr. loses his seat by but one vote. A. H. Bryant, this week. Mr. nnd Mrs. F. E. Randall and Misses Mary Colbert and Ida Randall, Services at the Presbyterian church ■ of Cedartown, were guests of Hamlet next Sabbath, at 9.30 a. in. is the ! leiatives Saturday and Sunday. As we understand it, tiie White Pri mary Committee had no intention to force a white primary on tiie county, hut simply acted in accordance with the instructions of the mass ineetin and the people, and as far as lay in their power have prevented tiie people from being tricked out of a white pri mary by a few scheming politicians. Gallant Joe Wheeler lias resigned his seat in Congress, and will retain liis commission in the U. S. Army. He is a Major General of Volunteers, hut will likely he made a Brigadier Gen eral in tiie regular establishment by President McKinley, and retired next fall when the age'iiinit of service is up. He is a brave hero of two wars, and is beloved by all who ever knew him. Tile South honors this patriot as one of her greatest living war vet-.

Mrs. Moore, wifeof Mr,G.W,Moorej, of Blooming Grove, died Tuesday after a brief illness, and the remains were laid to rest in the Lime Branch cemetery yesterday at 11 o’clock, Rev. J. R. Griffith, of Buchanan, and Rev. C. If: Henderson conducting the fu neral services. Mrs. Moore was an esti mable lady, a devoted member of the Baptist chprch, and an excellent neighbor. She was a daughter of the late Henry R. Hogg, of Walthall, and is a member of one of the leading fami lies of tiie county. She leaves two brothers, Messrs. J. I! and S. R. Ilogg, and a sister, Mrs. J. W. Casey, besides tier husband amLpine 'children to mourn her death. The sympathy of i large circle of,friends is extended to the family in .their bereavement, and . A number tended the fiineral services. Mr. John Atwood and wife, of Fish were visiting Mr. Ivy Thompson’s family Sunday. Rev. J. B. Roberts, of Calhoun, was the guest of Mrs. McBryde Sunday, preaching at Aragon in the afternoon. Labor seems to be at a premium there days. Hired help on the farm is hard to secure, and last week the cotton mills at Aragon were clamoring for three hundred new hands. Dr. W. T. Adair, of Rockmart, was making professional calls in this vicin ity the first of the week.' Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Wingard were shopping in Rockmart Tuesday. So much rain in this month is very discouraging to farmers, who are anxious to get through planting. The spring term of the school taught here by Miss Mary Barton, of Cedar town, closes this week. Miss Barton by her painstaking and efficient methods has endeared herself to both patrons and pupils, nnd the term jnst closing has been one of general satisfaction to all concerned. Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver nnd liidnoy troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, rnn-down feeling. But there’s no need to feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idnville, Ind. He says: Electric Bit ters are just tbe thing for a man when 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.

We hope to see tlie time when white people will walk together ill a friendly feeling to each other. Scribbler. Chlidlran ESOM HILL.
