Col. Davitte Wriles About Oi$>aniza- tion in Buncombe. Davitte’s, Ga., May 26, 1900.« Eds. Russell & Coleman Knowing that you are interested in the results and success of the White Primary and the success of white su premacy, I take the liberty to write on the subject. On last Monday evening there was a small crowd of men at the postoiiice here, and on polling the crowd they were as unanimous in favor of the white primary as the mass- meeting held at the Court House on the last of February. To make the test more pointed, I asked how many would join a white primary club, and was pleased to enroll every man pres ent, and we endorsed Clabe Knight for Sheriff. We propose to have a rally and a barbecue about the 1st of August, and if yon will find a speaker who is opposed to white supremacy and is a white man, we will pay his railroad fare and give him a good dinner to talk to us. We also request the friends of white supremacy to organize a white pri mary club at every precinct and con venient place in the county,, and co operate with us in making white supremacy a success. Our club num bers 10 at present. Respectfully, ■I. 8. Davitt-e. IDE CENSUS MAN. He’ll beard you at your very door, And ask you questions by the Score; But if you think that it’s a bore, ’Twill cost Five Hundred—maybe more— To make him ask ’em o’er and o’er. More are the queries than of yore— More “sarchin” far than ero before; Buteach must answer have in store, Or Uncle Sam will hunt for gore. So treat him right, we’d fain implore,— The census man, so tired and sore. THE EUSTLER. The republicans have scheduled the adjournment of Congress on June Gth —next Wednesday. The South needs and must have more cotton mills and other kinds of manu facturing establishments to make us a wealthy people. It will be seventy-nine years before Georgia has another total eclipse of the sun. We have laid aside our piece of smoked glass to wait for it. Tlie National Democratic Conven tion meets in Kansas City on July 4th, to renominate William Jennings Bryan, the next President of these United States. Nine-tenths of the white people of Bartow county have made up their minds that the white primary is the proper way to nominate candidates, and will abide by the results there from.—Cartersville News. The census enumerators begin their work tomorrow. They may seem in quisitive, but tiiey will ask only the questions prescribed by- the govern ment, and your refusal to answer would cost you at least $500. Suppose anyone had been trying to run in Polk against our popular Con gressman, Hon. John W. Maddox. Does anyone think the vote in the Democratic primary would have been a small one? Nay, verily'I Every thinking man knows that it takes op position to bring out a large vote on any line. Dr. Wm. Bradford, chairman of Ihe Polk County Democratic Executive Committee, announces the appoint ment of delegates to cast Polkas two votes in the State Democratic Conven tion's follows: Messrs. J. II. San ders, N. V. Parris, W. C. Bunn, I,. J Spinks, L. S. Ledbetter, W. S. Cole man, II.B. McGregor, F. A. Irwin and J.E. Pennington. The State Conven tion meets in Atlanta on Thursday, June 14th. One of the wisest things ever said by the late Capt. A. G. West was that a few country merchants swap ping and trading their wares created no wealtli and made no money for the country. The factories of England have controlled the commerce and finance of the world, and the nianu facturing centers of the United States have long since learned the lesson Still there is a notion among many Southern people that keeping a little store is the only way to make a livin. outside of farming. A BRILLIANT CLOSE. Enjoyable Commencent Exercises of Our High School. The commencement exercises of onr city public schools last Friday even ing were full of interest, and the nnditorinm of the Court Honso was packed to its ntmost capacity. The platform was beantifnlly decorated with the class colors—yellow and white, and with daisies—the class flower. “Not finished, but begun,” was tbe appropriate motto of the graduating class. The Baugh-Zimmerman Band discoursed excellent music at intervals throughout the program. This was the first opportunity that many of onr peo ple have had to hear this fine band,and to say they were delighted would be put ting it mildly. They snpplied the masie for the evening in a manner highly creditable to themselves and thoroughly pleasing to the large audience. In fact, if anyone ha'd been inspired to pass a subscription paper through the audience for the purpose of purchasing for them the uniforms they so richly deserve, we believe the necessary funds wonld have been most speedily forthcoming, so meritorious was their work. The literary part of the program was equally as enjoyable, each and every member of the class performing well the part assigned. The class is an excep tionally bright one, and their many friends have the best of reason for congratu lating them on their success in school work as well ns their graduating exercises' The following excellent program was presented : Prayer by Kev. C. K. Henderson. Overture, “Kentucky Medleyi” arr. by E. Boettger, Baugh-Zimmerman Band. Essay, “Glories of the Age,” Miss Madge Stubbs. Essay, “Be Oaks, Not Mistletoes,” Miss Rosa Vance. Oration, “What Constitutes Success in Life,” Mr. Walter Butler. Concert Waltzes, “Daughter of Love,” C. W. Bennett, - BAUGn-ZlMMERMAN BAND. Essay, “Always Tie a Knot in the End of Your Thread,” Miss Mary Good. Essay, .“Let Principle, Not Expediency, be Your Motto,” Miss Flora Burbank. Essay, “The New Mail,” Miss Myrta Dodds. Music, “Plantation Echoes,” arr. by Thos. Coates, Baugh-Zimmerman Band. Essay, “The Student’s Reward,” Miss Mattie Stubbs. Oration, “The Future of the South,” Mu. Ruel Hunt. Diplomas conferred., Schottische, "Lit and Lou,” R. B. Hall, Baugh-Zimmerman Band. Benediction liy Dr. Henderson. The diplomas were conferred by Mr. J. S. Stnhlis, the honored chairman of the Board of Education, in a brief anil happily appropriate manner. Four of the class received diplomas in the Classical department, as follows:—Misses Myrta Dodds and Rosa Vance and Messrs. Rnel Hunt and Walter Butler; fonr yonng ladies in the English course—Misses Madge and Mattie Stnbbs, Flora Burbank and Mary Good; and Mr. Wm. England received a certificate in an irregular conrse. Mr. Rnel Hunt and Miss Myrta Dodds won tbe first and second honors of tbe class respectively in the Classical department, and Misses Madge and Mattie Stnbbs in the English. Mr. Walter Butler made the highest average for the past year. Prof. H. L. Sewell, the efficient Superintendent, and his able corps of teachers are to be heartily congratulated on the flattering snccess of tlie year’s work, jnst as Cedartown is to be congratulated on the possession of such an ex cellent public school system. AT THE COLORED SCHOOL. The annual commencement exercises of the Colored rnblio School were held Friday morning. “Live for Something” was the subject of a well-written paper by the one gradnate, Carro E. Hays, to whom a diploma was presented by Mr. E. B. Rnssell in behalf of the Board of Education. Rev. M. E. Can tiiorne, of the A. M. E. church, delivered an enrnest and eloquent address highly com plimentary to tho schools aud to their principal, Prof. L. E. Hall, who is recog nized as one of the best colored educators in the Sonth. THE ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT | Vine One at the Samuel Benedict Memorial School. Tlie closing exercises of the Sanmel Benedict Memorial School have drawn large crowds this week, and have been very pleasant and interesting. The primary and intermediate grades gave an entertainment Tuesday evening, which was enjoyed by a large audience. The Baugh-Zimmerman Band added to tlie pleasure of the occasion With its splendid music, and the.children all acqnitted themselves nicely. Yesterday morning at 9.30 o’clock the annual graduation exercises were held, with the following program :— Hymn. Prayer by President Benedict. Speech—“The Future of America,”.. John Lee. Speech—“The Return of Regulus,”... John Garner. Song by the School. Essay—“Georgia Authors,” Liliie Hudson. Song by the School. Address by Mrs. W. II.Felton, of Car tersville. nymn and Benediction. The graduates gratified their friends by their creditable part in the exer cises, and the address of- Mrs. Felton was full of good sense and sound advice upon subjects concerning the home and school. Her words will be long re membered by all who heard her. President Benedict authorizes us to announce that a free summer school will be held for one month at the Memorial School, to begin at some time in July to be announced later. The Samuel Benedict Memorial School is doing a great work for the neighborhood in which it is located, and President G. E. Benedict and his capable corps of teachers are to be con gratulated upon the success of this excellent institution. non. Seaton Grantland, of Griffin, has withdrawn from the race for tlie presidency of the next State Senate. This leaves a clear field for lion. Clark Howell—and we hope it will remain that way. AND HEBE’S ANOTHER WHITE PRIMARY CLUB. The work of establishing White Primary Clubs in Polk, which was in augurated last week by Hon. J. S. Da vitte in Buncombe district, bids fair to spread throughout tlie county. Mr. John L. Moore, one of Ihe best citizens of Polk, writes us that a White Primary Olnb lias been formed at Hamlet, and adds: “We are not afraid to say we will support the man who comes out in favor of white su premacy.” He sends tlie following pledge and list of signatures of good citizens composing I he club at Ham let: Hamlet, Ga.,May 28,1900. We Ihe undersigned voters hereby .pledge onr votes and influence to the successor the White Supremacy move ment in Polk county, and we endorse Clabe Knight for Sheriff. ,T. L. Moore, S. O. Jones, T. N. Vin cent, C. R. Wingard, D. H. Winganl.O. II. Randall, A. H. Bryant, T. E. Col lins, D. W. Collins, W. T. McCurry, 11. Yarbrough. DEATH OP MRS. AKE. TnE Standard is not a prophet, but it did predict that with no opposition the vote in the Democratic primary in Polk would be light, and also foret ild the very line of argument which this light vote wonld be used to bolster up. We regret to say that the prediction 1,eS3- lias been verified in both cases. The law provides that, the Justice of the Peace in each militia district shall furnish the Tax Receiver with a list of the taxpayers in his district, and this work has bpen dune in Polk. This law is intended to catch tax- dodgers. Anyone failing to make their returns within the specified time will be double-taxed. Price, McCormick it Co., tlie big New York cotton speculating firm, went, to tlie wall last week, creating quite a flurry in the cotton market. This firm lias usually been on the “bull” side of the market, and would get considerable sympathy now were it not for the lying “bear” telegram that they sent out to calcli a lot of newspaper “suckers” last winter for the purpose of-breaking the market, The Standard extends heartiest congratulations to Hon. Clark Howell thebrillianteditorof the Atlanta Con stitution, and is likely to keep on do ing so. He is the Democratic nomiuee for the State Senate from his district without opposition, and his election as President of tlie Senate seems now an absolute certainty. Then, too, he is to be united in marriage on July I2th with Miss Annie, the accomplished daughter of tlie lafe Col. H. M. Comer, of Savannah, and this is certainly a subject for especial congratulations in which tlie entire press of Georgia cor dially unite. The republican administration is much wrought lip over the develop ments as to the stealing by their car pet-bag officials in Cuba, who seem to be lineal descendants of the thieving republican carpet-baggers Who cursed the South after the war. The old fel lows were never brought to justice, and we very much duubt if these rascals in Cuha will ever get. their just deserts. One of them—Major Rnthbone—helped to buy Hanna’s election to the United -tales Senate from Ohio, and Ills bribery then will doubtless save him from the conse quences of stealing now. 'Monday morning was lieaiitifiilly clear and pleasant, and the eclipse ap peared promptly on schedule time. It is wonderful the absolute accuracy with which astronomers can and do figure out the exact time and precise location of the patli of these interest ing phenomena. The eclipse here was almost total, and the gradual obscura tion of the sun as the moon moved be tween its face and the earth, the weird shadows and peculiar lialf-light, made a spectacle of rare interest. Hundreds of people turned out in tlie early morning hours with pieces of smoked glass to witness the strange sight. Next Sabbath at the Presbyterian church the Teachers’ Meeting at 930 a. m., Sabbath school at 945 a. m..

The Pastor. An honored and useful life came to an end Monday afternoop, when the spirit of Mrs. M. V. B. Ake was re- lesed from its tenement of clay and returned to the God who gave it. She had been in failng health for some time, suffering fron the dread dis ease of cancer, and her death was not unexpected. It was not the less grief and shock to the many friends of this noble Christian woman and her family. Mrs. Kate Patton Ake was born in Williamsburg,Pa.,March 13th,1845, and was the youngest, daughter of John K. Neff. At tlie age of seventeen she joined the Presbyterian church, of which she has ever since been a de voted member, and which sustains a heavy loss in her death. On Oct. 5th, 1863, she was united in marriage to Mr. M. V. B. Ake, wlio was then a resiuent of Washington, D. C., and tlie first seven years of their married life were spent in that city, during which time two children were horn to them—Edwin Lincoln and Clarence Neff, both of whom have pre ceded her to the better world. Ill the spring of IS71 the family moved to the Etna Iron Works, in this county, to join Mr. Ake who had come south tlie fall before to engage in the iron busi- Two years later Mr. Ake pur chased the plantation known at that time as the Battle place, and moved his family there in the fall of 1872, where Mrs. Ake spent the last twenty-eiglit years of her life. Here she found no church of lier choice, but it was not long (1873) when she with others or ganized the little Presbyterian church to which her after life was devoted. She served as organist 25 years,and also as Sabbath School teacher, having had in her class some young boys who have become prominent in life, among the number being Rev. Joseph II. Lump kin, now the honored Secretary of Education of the Southern Presby terian church. She was secretary and treasurer of tlie Ladies Aid society for a number of years. She loved her church, and always had a kind word for those with whom she was asso ciated—not only those of her own church, for she had many dear friends in Cedartown and community, and among tlie last words she said to her .husband were, “Yon must tell all my friends how much I appreciated their kindness shown to me in my long sickness.” She leaves a devoted husband to mourn her loss, and a sister and brother. The former, Mrs. E. II. Van- Devander, of Williamsburg, Pa., is now here, and tlie latter, Mr. W. L. Neff, lives at New Haven, Pa. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church by her pastor, Rev. C. O’N. Martindale, in the presence of a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Tlie bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community in' their great affliction. Mr. F. S.

Great interest is being man ifested, and tho meeting Tuesday night was especially marked with “slionts of rejoicing.” Other denominations are joining heartily in these meetings, and the prospects are bright for an especially snccessfnl revival. Mr. McCarty’s success as a revivalist of power is most marked, and lie is to be assisted next week by Miss Jennie Armstrong, a talented and consecrated lady and a teacher in the Atlanta public schools. Miss Armstrong will arrive Satnrday evening, nnd will take ebarge of the meeting Sunday morning. Large crowds will be drawn to hear her, and it is expected that her coming will re sult in much good.
