UNDER WHICH FLAG ARE YOU?
The wisdom of deferring until -Aug.
15th the date for the white primary
for the nomination of county officers
becomes more apparent daily. It will
he only six weeks then till the regular
fall election, and as the time draws
nigh the white people will more and
more see the wisdom and. appreciate
the necessity of assembling ill a quiet,
orderly, decent manner and choosing
their officers rather than wait: till
October and have the disgraceful
scenes or the past renewed. Already
there may be heard daily expressions
from representative men in every eoin-
mimity showing a growing Sentiment
andstrengthingdetermination on their
part to try the White Primary.
The contrast between the two ineth
oils offered by which we may this year
choose our o.llicers is so great that it
seems impossible that any thoughtful,
order-loving citizen would hesitate to
try the primary plan. The “hand-
tying” bugaboo we hear of is a confes
sion on the part of those who ruse it
that they have no reason to offer
against a While Primary. The only
voters whose hands are tied by the
White Primary are the colored con
tingent. For their good,as well as for
the good of the whole community, the
colored voters’ hands will be tied till
the white voters can assemble and
name the men of their choice f >r their
ollicers. Then all can meet in October
and ratify this choice.

CEDARTOWN’S FINE MUSIC.
Oh, the hammer and the saw
Make us give a glad Hurrah,
For they-show that Ceilattown is grow
ing fast.
And their melody's so sweet,
Swelling ont'.on every street,
That we hope its music will a long time
last.
And th« sounds that from them
come
Better far than life and drum,
.Show that Cedartown is in the “forward
march.”
And they cheer ns on our way—
Aid they cheer ns every day—
As we build our city’s great “triumphal
arch.”

There are a bo at 300 districts presided

President C. B. Wilburn, of the C.
R. & S. road, and Messrs. Simon Borg
and Leopold Wallack, of New York,
leading bond-holder and general coun

on an inspection tour Tuesday. It- is
rumored that the long-conteinplated
extension of this road is among the
early probabilities in its development.
Tlie Boston Journal of Commerce
shows that of the capital pledged in

mill construction, New England gets
$800,000; the Middle Slates, $550,000;

States, $11,245,000. in other words,
nine-tenths of tlie cotton mill con
struction is in tliis section of tin*
country.
Democrats should turn out and vote
in the state primary next Tuesday.
Tlie vote is certain to be light, and
then some one will claim that tlie few

county, or will say that tile vote is too
light to justify Governor Candler and
the other State House ofijeers in rtin-

to the white primary, don’t you?
0t]R R IRE DEPARTMENT
IN excellent shape for the
BIG TOURNAMENT
Gadsden Next Wednesday and

Our City Eire Department is get-
o ' self into fine trimforthe big
ournament at Gadsden, Ala., next
wee and the team that beats them is
„oing to have to “hit the grit” at a
ra 'ghty lively pace.
Dr. C. \ . Wood, the popular Chief
of the Department, will take with him
to Gadsden'next Wednesday the best
aggregation of fire-fighters that Ce
dartown has -everxsent to a tourna-
me . nt an< * that is saying much, as is
evidenced by Cedartown’s long series
of victories and fine array of prize
trophies.
iheboys are in good spirits, and
feel ready to meet and cope with their
brother firemen of -the Association,
and to uphold Cedartown’s prestige in
tlie approaching tournament:
Mr. J. h. Phil pot, our clever City
Marshal, is manager of I he team this
year, and the boys are now iraining
daily,and never had brighter prospects
for proving themselves prize-winners.
The assignments for duty are as fol
lows: J. H. Phiipot, plugman; As
sistant Chief Chas. Beasley, nozzle-
man; Peter Harris, disconnecter;
Walter Good, buttman; Tom Beasley,
pull-oil: These gentlemen, with tlie
exception of Mr. Good, have filled
these stations for several years, and
have ever proven themselves the right
men in tlie right places. They have
covered themselves with glory and
rendered the most effective aid in car-
rying off the prizes for Cedartown at
the tournaments of the past few years.
Mr. Good succeeds Mr. J. M. Rudolph
as buttman on the removal of tlie lat
ter to Dalton, and is filling Ibis place
most acceptably.
The running team has an exception
ally line aggregation of fast sprinters.
Messrs. John Wright and Hughes
Roberts will he found on the end of
the rope, and they can be depended
upon to set a hut pace, as bolli of
them are speedy enough for any team
in the Association. Messrs. John Jud
kins and Fred Wood, two of the “old
reliables,” are in their accustomed
places on the rope, and are valuable
men wherever planed. Mr. Bob Wood,
while one of the “youngsters,” is a
very fa=t min; he and Mr. Walter
Good are also trying for the ladder
climbing contest, and are making good
time. Mr. Gus Phiipot is at liis usual
place on the pole, and it takes a regu
lar “Cousin Jim” to beat Guson the
sprint. Mr. Joe Langford is another
youngster on the pole who can he de
pended upon at all times.
Tlie substitutes are Messrs. Olin
Mann, Carden Bunn,Londz Smith and
Sam Hackney. All are good men, and
in case of an accident are competent
to fill in.
Col. Ball lias kindly arranged fora
special train on the East & West,
which will transfer to the L. & N. at
Duke’s. It will leave Cedartown at
7 20 a. ni. next Wednesday/ reaching
Qadsden at 10 a. in., and will leave
Gadsden for the return trip after the
banquet Thursday night. Fare for
the round trip, $175/
The Standakd voices the senliinent
of Cedartown in expressing tile wish
that our gallant firemen may have a
plesaut sojourn at Gadsden, and that
they may prove winners in every con
test which they enter. If training,
speed and a thorough knowledge of
and adherence to tournament rules
avail, we believe the boys will con
tinue to keep Cedartown at the head
of the column in tlie North Georgia
and Alabama Volunteer Firemen’s
Association.
Cedartown is going to make a strong
pull to get- the next Association meet
held in Cedartown in 11)01, and have
votes pledged from the Departments of
Gadsden, Cartersville and Anniston,
which assure us of the next Tourna
ment.
Let everyone remember this, fact,
and let’s give tlie jolly firemen a royal
welcome. Tub Standard hopes that
all citizens who can will attend tlie
Tournament at Gadsden, and give the
boys and Cedartown a good semi-oil'.
A convention is being held in Mont
gomery, attended by distinguished
men of different sections, for the pro

surroundings.
IMPROVEMENTS IN '‘BAUGHTON. 1 '
The Cedartown Company is doing a
splendid work on their properties and
the streets in' “Baughton-,” the hust
ling little suburb just west of Cedar
Creek.' The continuation of West ave
nue beyond the bridge lias been
straightened and graded, and substan
tial sidewalks are being laid and
cindered. The grade of the street is
up with the far elevation of the bridge,
andagooddrainage by large terracotta
pipes will conduct the water under the
street into the creek.
A tall fence encloses the beautiful
grove about the site of Mill No. 1, the
entrances to which are guarded by-
large gates. Loafers and shiftless
parties are thus shutout of the grounds
and excluded from the mill buildings.
The park will be well kept for the
pleasure of the company’s employees,
the grove being one of the most at
tractive spots about the city.
Atlanta street, which parallels the
E. & W. road and on which are located
large warehouses of the company, the
several dwellings and the business
establishments of VanDevander &
Bro. and W. F. Prewett, has been
brought to a perfect grade, and splen
did sidewalks are being constructed,
surfaced with cinders.
Altogether these improvements add
much to the city air of that expanding
borough, and show tlie spirit of enter
prise which tlie Cedartown Company
has in mind in the fuller developmri.tr
of their splendid properties.
“Baughton,” which derives its name
from Hon. Daniel Baugh, president of
the Cedartown Company, is destined
to become in the near future one of
the most populous outlying districts
of Cedartown, and its beautiful and
exact proportions show' what money
and judicious' engineerng can do in
the business of town-building.

And that means that you have only-
three weeks left in whicb-to attend to

And if you don’t attend’to it, the
City Charter provides heavy penalties

which there, is no escape for the delin
quent.
Both reajwnd personal property is
to be returned, the city having the
light, ’of course, to raise your fig
ures by arbitration if your own esti
mate is deemed too low.
Some people have an idea that they
don’t have to pay city tax on (their

they are much mistaken, as the. tax

erty within the city limits.

the occasion with excellent music.

Cedartown, was especially bright, giv
ing a clear, succinct and true history
of Methodism. The articulation, em
phasis and word painting of the yonng
woman were marvelously impressive,
and stamped her as line of the shining
lights in the church cause in North
Georgia. Miss Adams is'tbe daughter

ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continned to use it, and now am well
and strong. I can’t say too mneb in its
praise.” This marvelous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.

war taxes unabated.
The prevailing impression in Wash
ington is that nothing whatever will
be done at. this session of Congress
toward the repeal of the recent war
taxes, it is said that a definite agree
ment to this effect lias been readied by
the steering committees of the Senate
and House and the President.
We had hoped that the war stamp
taxes, at least those on transfer and
exchange, checks, deeds, mortgages,
notes, and all legal papers, especially
of the smaller denominations which
the common people have to pay, would
be taken off before the adjournment of
Congress. No good reason can be given
for not taking them off. They are a
burden upon business-and a bother to
the citizen. The'revenue raised by
these stamps is not needed for any
legitimate purpose of the government.
. Secretary Gage, of-tlie Treasury De
partment, tells us that there will be a
surplus of over $50,(XX),000 this year in
spite of the enormous appropriations.
Why, then, continue to impose the
odious war stamp taxes upon the peo
ple? :
Citizens of all parties and classes
demand the abolition of the special
stamp taxes.
Those who will make such an effort
will receive tlie grateful appreciation
and remembrance of the people of all
classes and all shades of political opin
ion. The republican war tax, in all
its drag net severity, two years after
tlie war is over, is odious and oppres
sive witiiout reason. Repeal the war
stamp tax, or prepare to give an ac
count to the people for your refusal to
do so, gentlemen of the republican
Congress!
No Right To Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and run down, she will be
nervous and irritable. If she has con

blood will cause pimples, blotches,
skin ernptions and a wretched complex

cine in the world to regulate stomach,
