arbor day.
Most of our sister states have
adopted the custom of setting aside
one day in each year for the planting
of trees, the observance of the day
, lH ,i n g especially by the children of the
public schools with appropriate exer
cises. The rapid denuding of Georgia’s
forests makes the adoption of this
custom a wise one for this state, and
every thoughtful person will commend
the following proclamation just issued
by Governor Candler :—
Following a precedent established in
sister states and in compliance with a
request of the Georgia Federation of
Woman’s Clubs, 1 hereby designate
Friday, the 7th day of December, 1900,
as Arbor Day, and I recommend to all
the people and especially to tile child
ren in our public schools, that the day
lie devoted to the planting of trees,
plants, vines and shrubs in public
places and about our schools and homes
and along the public highways, thus
beautifying and adorning them and
contributing to the comfort of the
parents, the children and the wayfarer,
and conforming to a beautiful custom.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the executive department at the Capi
tol in Atlanta, this the thirtieth day of
April, in the year of our Ford one
thousand nine hundred, and of the in
dependence of the United States of
America the one hundred and twenty-
fourth. A. D. Oandi.kk, Governor.
WHAT IT COSTS US.
The war we are waging on the Fili
pinos, who are just as much entitled;
to their freedom as Americans, has
cost us already 2,25(1 men, besides
the several thousands wounded and
maimed for life. These killed and
wounded mean more millions annually
for pensions from the government.
In the Santiago .campaign, we lost
1,088 men, besides the wounded and
maimed,all of whom will want pen
sions from the government.
This year for our standing army o
100,000 soldiers, an appropriation of
$111,000,000 was made for its mainten
ance at home, in Hawaii, -Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines.
And yet we just started out to free
the oppressed Cubans from the yoke
of Spanish misrule! A standing army
of 100,000 men,—four times as large as
it was at the beginning of tlie Spanish
war, and two years after the batlle of
Manila wo are paying $111,000,000 for
the “benevolent assimilation” of the
Filipinos and the “manifest destiny”
of republican expansion!
Miss Laura lIaygood,a well known
Methodist missionary who has been in
China for a number of years, died at
her post of duty last week. She was
a sister pf the late Bishop Atticus G.
Ilaygood,
Vaccination is the only certain
remedy against small-pox. As that
disease has made its appearance at.
Rome, Piedmont and Tecumseli, it.
would be the part of wisdom for all to
vaccinate who have not yet, done so
Maj. II. .1. Mills,who recently moved
from Prior’s to Canton, has bought
the Cherokee Advance at that place.
He is a gentleman of talentandahility,
and his many friends in this section
wish him success in hi-: new venture.
The people are fully as much inter
ested—and certainly have as many
rights—as candidates in an election.
It is to tlie interest of the people to
have a white primary, and the can'd!
dates will all find it to their interest
to go into it.
Germany is said to have had no cases
of small pox for many years, for the
simple reason that she has adopted the
sensible precaution of general com
pulsory vaccination. Our law-makers
would make no mistake if they would
do the same in this country.
May, nay, Rro. Fain, The Stan baud
lays no claim to the Aragon Milt
for Cedartown, but claims them for
Polk county. Furthermore,we rejoice
sincerely with Rockmart iji every
item of benefit she derives from their
proximity. Everything that helps one
•part of Polk county helps the other.
At least,The Staxoxtso firmly believes
that this is the only sensible view to
take of it.
The SyAXDAitn did not go into this
white primary movement for political
advantage, but in the interests of
decency and much-needed reform ii
the political methods of tlie county
We have no axe to grind by its win
ning or losing, but are with the best
people of the county in advocating it.
1109 to 9 will be found to very correctly
represent, tlie proper!ion of public
sentiment in favor of it.
The daily papers are full of news
about strikes all over the country.
Laborers of every kind in every branch
of business are protesting against the
criminal aggression of the trusts. The
shutting down of many infustrial
plants, the discharge of honest and
competent employees, the payment of
low wages while tlie salaries of trust
officials and the prodnets of trnsis are
going higher,—all these things mean
something, and the people of this
country are goingjo have a change in
administrations when they see how
things are drifting.
The most .common —and at the same
time the weakest—'argument against
the while-primary is that “I don’t
want to lie bound by the result of a
primary if it shouldn't go my way;”
Wliy, bless your soul, honey, yoii have
to be bound by the result of a general
election, don’t you? Now, which
would you really prefer—to be bound by
the action of tlie fuller,thinking while
men of tlie county in a white primary,
or by a conglomeration (J votes, in
liuene.ed more or less by money and
whiskey, in a general scramble at tlie
polls? Think well on this point, an
then go heartily to work to make tl:
white primary no August loth Die sm
ess U deserve: in be. ■':£*
THli DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Oil the 15th inst. there will be
held in Georgia a Democratic pidmary
for Governor, State House officers and
United States Senator, and in this dis-
trict fora Congressman.
I here is no Democratic opposition to
tlie present worthy incumbents, and
we fear there will be as light a vote
cast as in the vote on the white pri
mary, when there was no opposition
to the proposed plan. We take it,
however, to be the duty of everj' Dem
ocrat to go to tile polls, if possible, on
Tuesday, May 15th, and cast Ins vote
in the primary.
Governor Candler, Commissioner
Stevens and the entire corps of State
officials have made enviable records in
ofiice, and Georgia deiights.to do them
honor. Treasurer Speer is to be suc
ceeded without opposition by Hon.
Robert E. Park, a sterling citizen of
Bibb county. lion. A. O. Bacon has
no opposition for re-election to the
United States Senate, and tlie Demo
cratic party in Georgia is to be com
mended for practically placing his re-
election ill tlie hands of tlie people.
Congressman John W. Maddox lias
proven himself a faithful servant of
the people, and deserves re-election
without opposition.
We are aware that it takes opposing
forces tjo bring out much of a vote, but
tiiese distinguished gentlemen all de
serve that a large vote should he cast
for their renonjination.
The following is the excellent ticket
to be voted for:—
For Governor,
ALLEN D. CANDLER.
For Secretary of State,
P1IIL COOK.
For Comptroller General,'
wm. a. wnroirr.
For Treasurer,
ROBERT E. PARK.
For Attorney General,
JOSEPH M. TERRELL.
For Commissioner of Agriculture,
O. B. STEVENS.
For School Commissioner,
G. R. GLENN.
For Prison Commissioners,
C. A. EVANS,
THOS. EASON.
For Uni ted States Senator,
A. O. BACON.
For Representative in 57lh Congress,
JOHN W. MADDOX.
Tile entire ticket is worthy of tlie
support of all Georgians, whatever
their past political affiliations have
been. Tlie State Democratic Execu
tive Committee did wisely-in inviting
all white men in Georgia who would
abitlr.the result to participate in the
primary, and through their chairman,
I)r. Win. Bradford, the Polk County
Democratic Committee joins most
heartily In this invitation. Owing to
tlie impossibility of -securing a
“purged” registration list for this
primary, tlie County Committee does
not insist on registration for 1900, hut
invites every qualified voter—that is,
every voter who registered in 1898 and
who lias paid his ’98 and ’99 taxes—
to participate in the primary.
The Justices of Peace and Notaries
Public of the county’are asked to take
charge of tlie primary in each district,
with':", such Democratic, assistants as
they may call'in, though in event of
their inability or indisposition to
serve, three Democrats in any district
are authorized by tlie Executive Com
mittee to hold Hie primary.
Tlie people of P-fik county should
turn out on the 15th inst. and compli
ment these high and‘worthy officials
by a large vote for their re-iiomina-
tion.
AN APPRECIATED VISIT.
. Cedartown was agreeably surprised
Thursday afternoon by on unexpected
visit from prominent Southern Railway
men. Col. J. B. S. Thompson, the pop
ular A ssistant General Superintendent,
Mr. Jos. Squires, a veteran mining en
gineer, and Mr. Snmter Leo, a clever
civil engineer, were in the party, and
Col. Thompson wns accompanied by his
accomplished and attractive wife.
They came through the country over
one of the proposed routes for the ex
tension of the Southern’s spur into Ce
dartown. They-called on Col. DeBarde-
leben’s attorneys, ..Messrs, Sanders &
Davis, who arranged for our business
men to meet the visitors informally in
the parlors of the Cherokee Club,which
was much enjoyed by our people.
As The Standard stated last week,
the Southern is ready to extend into
Cedartown provided right of way and
terminal facilities are famished. This
is a reasonable requirement, and there
should be no delay in granting same.
The property-owners along the line
should be prompt to recognize its
great advantage to theni, and should
“come across” at once.
Many people in this country are
greatly exercised over tlie British and
tlie Boers, but they seem to be both
deaf and blind to our troubles in the
Philippines. These United States had
better settle our own affairs before in
terfering with other nations. What
about our own army of (15,000 soldiers
over 8,000 miles from home, at an an
nual expense of ‘ $100,000,000 to our
people?
St. Raul, Minn., went Democratic
on Tuesday for Mayor and Council by
several thousand majority. Two years
ago everything went republican by
several thousand majority in that Mc
Kinley stronghold. All of which shows
that the tide,is turning. The country
is against tlie prekeut extravagance,
tlie militarism,' the expansion policy,
the criminal nggressitiji of trusts,
the outrage on -belple’Ss L o’lo Rico,
and all the otiier evils of i.-epubiican-
ism.
OUR FUBLiO_SCHOOLS.
A BRIGHT CLASS Td GRADUATE
^ '/y. -. THIS YEAII;
Announcements l*or the Coiniriehfce-
iricnr Week—The Schools
Prosperous.
A splendid year of work is drawing
to a close at-our city public schools.
A bright class of young people is pre
paring to make its final bow to the
world as High School pupils and to
enter the ranks of alnmni of this ex
cellent institution.
The annual commencement exerciseB
will be held at the Court House on
Friday evening, 2otli inst., with the
following graduates: Misses Flora
Burbank, Myrta Dodds, Mary Good,
Madge Stubbs, Mattie Stubbs and Rosa
Vance, and Messrs. Walter Bntlet and
Rnel Hunt. --
The commencement sermon will/ be
preached on the preceding j Sunday at
the Methodist church by Rev. C. N.
Donaldson, pastor of the Baptist
church at Kirk wood.
The nsnal interest will be felt this
year in these commencement exercises,,
as the occasion is always ono which
appeals to every patron ami friend of
the school.
Our public schools have grown with
Cedartown’s growth, and it is going to
be necessary in the near future to pro
vide additional accommodation. There
is room for only about 300 pupils at the
white school building, and there liav
been 347 boys and girls on the rolls of
that school during the past year. The
mere statement of this fact, together
with Cedartown’s present and prospect
ive rapid growth,shows that onr present
quarters will have to be enlarged in
some way.
Prof. Sewell and his excellent corps
ol teachers are closing one of the best
year’s records in the history of the
school, and the nrofpects for Cedar-
town’s splendid public school system
were never brighter than now.
