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.

Last Thursday afternoon about 230 o’clock while the members of tlie fam ily were away from home at work in the field, a negro entered the house of Mrs. Isaac Jones two- miles south of Rockmart, and carried off a lot of tilings. The burglar took along a shot gun, two razors, a gold watch, gold cuff buttons, a hat,two suits of clothes and several shirts,ail belonging to the sons of Mrs. Jones.
