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. Oxe White Man. 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.

The Confederate Veterans’ Reunion in Louisville this year will lie one of the largest and best in the history of that organization. A large number of Polk county veterans liope to partici pate. Ex-Congressman Towne, of Minne sota, who left the republican party oil account of its gold-buggery, is being prominently suggested as a ritnning-niate-for Bryan on the Demo cratic ticket. ' . . Atlanta’s Mayor lias been on an other drunk, and the Rev. Dr. Brough ton is trying to force his resignation. It strikes 11s that the man is no worse now tiian when elected Mayor, 'and having been foolish enough to elect a drunkard, Atlanta ought to lie .willing to stand the consequences of her own folly. There are a bo at 300 districts presided over by supervisors for the taking of the census by the United States Government. These supervisors will .have under them about 40,000 enumera tors, gathering the information de sired for tile record of.our progress as a people for tlie last ten years. 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 sel respectively, went down the road 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 the first quarter of this year to cotton mill construction, New England gets $800,000; the Middle Slates, $550,000; the West, $100,000, and tlie Southern 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 voting are tlie only Democrats in ’Jtlie county, or will say that tile vote is too light to justify Governor Candler and the other State House ofijeers in rtin- ning. You see tlie point as applicable to the white primary, don’t you? 0t]R R IRE DEPARTMENT IN excellent shape for the BIG TOURNAMENT Gadsden Next Wednesday and . TIl ">'sday_A Winning Team. 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 motion of the study of the race problem. It ison tlie right line, and the discussion of this question is par ticipated in by men who know some- tiling practically or tliejiegro and his 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.

Don’t forget that you must give in your city property for taxation before June 1st,— And that means that you have only- three weeks left in whicb-to attend to this important duty.

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 household and kitchen furniture, hut they are much mistaken, as the. tax schedule covers every form of prop erty within the city limits.

The subject of birds was continned in the refreshments, the ice cream be ing served in bird’s-nests made of spnn. sugar. The prize, which was won by Mrs. C. G. Janes on the cutting of a tie by several ladies, was a stuffed red-winged blackbird, handsomely mounted. Misses Mary Harris and Ger tie Knight added to the enjoyment of the occasion with excellent music. KOO/CMA R'J.

His many friends here are rejoicing over liis high stand at Emory College and the flattering recognition of his worth: If the opponents of tlie white pri mary had fought it openly instead of stabbing it in the back by stealth,they would have gotten out more than' 9 votes in the county against it,but they would also have largely multiplied tlie 309 votes in favor of it.

Miss Martha Adams participated in the program of the Epwortli League Convention in Cartersville last week, and the Cartersville correspondent of the Constitution pays her the follow ing nice compliment: “Many inter esting, papers were read, .and among them one by Miss Martha Adams, of Cedartown, was especially bright, giv ing a clear, succinct and true history of Methodism.

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.
