ONE OF THOSE PATHFINDERS.
Dr.J.L.Branch,one of Polk’s best and
most respected citizens, wa3 in the
city Monday. He says that the wliite
people of his community are heartily
and overwhelmingly in favor of the
white primary ordered for Aug. 15th,
and brought in a petition with forty-
two signatures of good citizens asking
all candidates to announce subject
to this primary. The following sub
stantial citizens of Berry’s signed the
petition: John k Branch, Ed H
Branch, J T Garner, A F Garner, L Q
West, IV T Thompson, J T Hackney,
C M Jameson, J II Pettit, W R Barn
well, G G Pettit, G II Pettit, J R West,

T Hackney, A M Hackney, Jas
Diamond, J L Roberts, J N Torrence.
Dr. Branch made no effort to get
signatures in other vicinities, know
ing that others were looking after the
work there. He says that witli scarcely
a single exception the white people of
his section favor the white primary—
and it is just that way all over the
county!
BUNN FOR DELEGATE.
lion. W. C. Bunn, of Polk, who is
a member of tile present State Senate,
readied Atlanta yesterday afternoon
on his return from a business trip to
New York, Washington and the East.
It lias been generally conceded the
past few weeks that Senator Bunn
would he one of the two delegates
from tlie Seventh district to the Kan
sas City convention. On. being asked
in reference to the matter yesterday
Senator Bunn said:
“I have taken no active interest in
tlie matter as yet, witli the exception
of having communicated with a few
of my friends in tlie district who have
been kind enough to urge me to
allow the use of my name. I have
been out of the district for about ten
days, and do not know what lias taken
place during my absence. If matters
stand now, however, as they did when
I left, and if my friends still want me
to make the race, I will agree to the
use of my name.”
This may be taken in the nature of
a definite announcement, and it goes
without saying that if Senator Bunn
consents to the use of his name he will
he chosen as one of the two represent
atives from tlie Seventh district.—Con
stitution, 7tli.

has been honored by re-election as

week in Milwaukee, Wis.
Hon. J. S. Davitte writes us to in
quire if the people who favor the
white primary won’t be accused in
.certain quarters of trying to “force”
white supremacy on the people. Tlie
query is certainly a pertinent one, but
we agree with bin!that tlie wliite pri
mary folks can stand it.
The Democracy of Georgia in state
convention assembled in Atlanta to
day, will re-nominate unanimously
and enthusiastically the faithful ser
vants who have served the- state so
well the past two years. It is a ticket
which commands tlie respect and con
fidence of every patriotic citizen.
Dr. Win. Bradford, chairman of the
Polk County Democratic Executive
Committee, announces the appoint
ment of tlie following delegates to the
Democratic Congressional Convention
for the Seventh District, which meets
at Calhoun on Wednesday, July 18th:

Bro. J. T. Fain, recently of tlie Bock
mart Slate, has leased the Cartersville
News, and hod taken hold of that" live
paper. Bro. Fain is an enterprising
newspaper man, chock fallcf “hustle.”
He has given Rockmart an excellent
paper, and in his new and larger field
of labor his journalistic talents will
have better opportunity for expression.
The Standard is glad he is to remain in
North Georgia, and wishes him abund
ant success in his new field of labor.
Tlie situation in China is very grave
indeed. The movement of tlie “Box
ers” against foreigners—especially' the
missionaries—is proving more wide-
spead than was thought at first, and
the government seems powerless to stop
tlie insurrection, if not in actual sym
pathy with tlie rioters. The United
States government has ordered addi
tional vessels to Chinese waters to
protect Americans and their interests
and the. European nations are doiu£
likewise.
review of the
3 SITUATION.
Early this year Dr. Win. Bradford,
airman of the DenioeraticExecutive
Committee of Polk, in order to bring
0 a . focus the generally expressed
sentiment favorable to the white pri
mary' idea before it could possibly be
a lar ®ed with any semblance of truth
that it was for or against the interests
0 an y candidates, addressed an open
letter to the committee and' people
advocating the calling of such a pri
mary for county officers. It has since
transpired that other parties were
preparing at about this same time to
circulate a petition for a mass meeting
to order such a primary.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee met and endorsed the movement,
but did not order a primary.
In the meantime a petition was cir
culated strongly endorsing the white
primary in'the interests of decency
and harmony, signed by such repre
sentative citizens as Hon. R. W.
Everett, Hon. J. S. Davitte, lion. J. E.
Houkeal, Hon. W. C. Bunn, Dr. D. M.
Russell, Col. J.H. Sanders, Dr.L.8.Led
better, Mr. C. W. Smith, Mr. J. C.
Hand and scores of others,and calling
for a mass meeting to be held at the
Court House on Feb. 20th to order a
white primary for county officers. In
view of tlie fact that two or three
I THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
men in the county are charging that
the movement was started to beat a
certain candidate, we will say that
this petition was drawn up and circu
lated by one of the warmest personal
and political friends of this same can
didate, which should dispose of this
bugaboo with any thinking man.
Tile mass meeting was held,and was
very largely attended. On a rising
vote tile meeting declared itself unan
imously in favor of the white pri
mary. In order, however, to leave no
possible ground for kickers, it was de
cided to refer the matter to the people,
with instructions that in event a ma
jority of the votes cast were in favor
of tlie wliite primary, the Primary
Committee elected at the same time
should order a white primary for
county officers.
A special election was held, and 300
votes were cast for tlie primary and
only 9 against it. In view of tlie fact
that, there was no open opposition to
the measure, thinking men cannot fail
to regard this as a good vote and cor
rectly representing tlie sentiments of
the white people of the county. This
is further proven by the fact that only
91 votes were cast in the recent Demo
cratic primary in Polk, tiierc being no
opposition to any of tlie candidates.
Does anyone, suppose for a moment
that if there-had been opposition to
Governor Candler, Senator Bacon
Congressman Maddox, Comptroller
General Wright, Commissioner Stev
ens or any of our excellent State
House officials, there would have been
such a light vote? Hence we repeat
that tlie vote oil the white primary
with no open opposition,was in reality
gratifyingly large.
The Primary Committee met, seven
out of eleven districts being repre
sented, and in accordance with tlie
plain instructions of mass meeting,or
dered a white primary for county of
ficers and fixed Aug, 15th as the date
for holding same.
In view of the impression sedu
lously sought to be created in certain
quarters that tlie expression of the
people in favor or the white primary
had not been sufficiently large, the fol
lowing letter and petition were last
week sent, out to a number of good
citizens in the various districts of the
county
Cedautown, Ga , June 1st, l'.lOl).
Dear Sim-
Knowing that you are interested in
tlie maintenance of White Supremacy
and in tlie cause of decency and reform
in our election methods in Polk, we take
tlio liberty of asking you to sign the
enclosed petition and get as many of
your neighbors to do so as possible,after
which . pleaso return same to us
promptly. Hon. J. S. Davitie lias in
augurated the establishment ol Wliite
Primary Clubs in tlie county, and tlie
movement is growing rajiiidiy. Your
immediate activity in tins mailer will
greatly’ help the cause of Wliite Su-
inreiriacv and political decency in Polk.
1 ' J. H. Dodds,
Ch’m. White Primary Com.
E. B. Russell., Secretary.
TIIE PETITION.
To those proposing to run for county
offices this year in Polk County:—
Many good citizens of this connty—
nearlv all of them, in fact—think that
the public welfare and even common
decency require that the methods and
practices that have of late years pre
vailed in onr elections, and in the cam
paigns preceding them, should lie im
proved, and that they can be. We be
lieve that the White Primary, that has
been called for Aug 15th next by over
3)0- law-abiding and order-loving ei i
zens, will relievo ns of many of the
worst evils that beset us during polit
ical campaigns. We are confident
that if those who con tern plate entering
the race for connty offices will announce
snbject to the white primary, its snccess
will be at once assured. The white
people of the connty owe it t > tlie nom
inees of that primary to see that they
are elected, and we believe they will do
s .. We respectfully and most earnestly
ask that yon announce snbject to the
action of yonr white fellow-citizens,
and thus enable us to to give this plnr
a fair trial.
This petition has already received
several hundred signatures, and it is
probable that within the next few days
at least three-fonrths of the white
voters of the connty will have been
seen and their signatures secured. As
stated elsewhere. Dr. Branch haB
brought in a petition from Berry’s with
42 signatures from that immediate
neighborhood alone, and we believe
that this is a fair sample of the senti
ment all over the connly. About 300
signatures have already been obtained
at Cedariown alone.
.The people are in favor of it. They
want it, and they will have little patience
with the scheming politicians who
would undertake to thwart their will
The Standard favors the movement,
not becanse it is popular, but becanse
we believe it to bo right. We are not
built on eneh narrow lines that we feel
that we must oppose anything just be
cause some one else suggests it: In
fact, if onr worst personal or political
enemy had been the author of the
suggestion, we should still have given
it onr hearty support. Tiie Standard
has no candidates this year, and wo
will not be benefited a dollar by the
success of the white primary, nor
would wo he at all injured by its fail
ure. Wo believe it to be the best thing
for the connty, and we have never been
found lacking in courage to stand tip
for our convictions on anything affect
ing the welfare of the people among
whom wo live.
- We give these facts becanse the wliite
primary is the most talked of subject
at present in the county, and will con
tinue to bo so until tiie elections are
over. /
LET EVERYBODY HELP IX THE
IBLEBUAIION.
THE MEETING CLOSED
Singers to Meet for Practice Tuesday
Evening at Opera House.
Everything is moving along nicely
in the preparations for Cedartown’s
big Fourth of July celebration.
The Baugb-Zimmerman Band had a
good offer for out-of-town playing on
that day, but—
What would a Fourth of July cele
bration amount to without a hand?
The boys preferred staying here, but
they need tlie money for their new
uniforms—something which they well
deserve and ought to have. Our pro
gressive City Fathers cut- tlie Gordian
knot by offering to pay tlie Band as
much for their services here on the 4th
as they would receive elsewhere, less
their expenses, and their action in so
doing was wise, liberal, and in every
way commendable.
This action guarantees tlie success of
the celebration, and everybody should
help the good work along.
Mr. M. T. Borden, the capable direc
tor of the Band, asks all who can and
will sing in the choruses to meet with
the Band next Tuesday evening at 8
o’clock at the Opera House, to practice
together tlie familiar patriotic airs
suitable to the occasion.
The Fire Department is preparing
for the annual parade and inspect ion
to be held on that day, and for the
interesting contests which will form
such an attractive feature of tlie day.
Many of our business houses and
residences will te handsomely decora
ted witli flags and bunting, and Cedar-
town will wear a gala appearance. All
who can should arrange to decorate.
Mayor Ledbetter will soon announce
an excellent program of addresses,
which will draw the usual large crowds
to tlie Opera House.
With the best Band, the best Fire
Department and tlie best town in
North Georgia, Cedartown will have a
Fourth of July celebration worth com
ing miles to see.
And the people are coming!
There will be big crowds here"from
all parts of tlie county to hear tlie
speeches and music, and to see the
decorations, parade and contests.
Let us all pull together to make this
year’s celebration of our nation’s
natal day a big success.
A FINE NEW BUILDING.
Col. Will Harris to Build Handsome
Two-Story Brick.
Col. Will J. Harris, the popular pri
vate secretary of Senator A. S. Cloy,
recently purchased from Messrs. K. O.
Pitts and L. H. Poolo their splendid
property on the corner of Main and
Stubbs streets, and he will at once pro
ceed to put up a line two-story brick
building thereon.
This is one of tho most desirable
bnsiness sites in the city,and Mr. Harris
is to be congratulated on his enterprise
and foresight in securing it.
The building will have two good
store-rooms fronting on Main street,
with stairway entrance on Stubbs street.
The second story wijl bo attractively
fitted up for offices.
Mr. Harris has great faith in Cedar-
town's fnture, and docs not hesitate to
show his faith by his works. The in
vestment will prove a highly profitable
one for him, and Cedartown is to be
congratulated on securing another
handsomo addition to her nice array of
bnsiness houses.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT TUB METHO
DIST CHURCH.
Miss Jennie Armstrong Proved an
Effective Christian Worker—Re
vival Services to Begin Next Sun
day at the Baptist "Church. *
The two weeks of revival meetings
at the Methodist church ended on Sun
day night, with unflagging interest to
the last. Miss Jennie Armstrong, the
consecrated Christian worker, took
charge of the meetings on Sunday
morning, tlie 3rd of June, and from
the first of her appearance, large
crowds flocked to hear her. earnest ap
peals to men and women to live better
lives. Her Bible readings and their
clear and forceful expositions were
most impressive, and never lias public
speaker been given a more attentive
hearing in Cedartown. Her gentle
manner, her gracious persuasion and
the power of her burning words won
all hearts, and her labors here resulted
in a number of conversions and the re
claiming of many who liad grown in
different in the Master’s cause.
Mr. McCarty could not have selected
anyone for liis co-worker in tiie meet
ing who would have made a more pro
found and lasting impression. Miss
Armstrong’s coming proved a bless
ing to so many, and universal regret
was expressed at her leaving on Mon
day evening.
On last Saturday evening, Mrs. An
nie Laurie Cnnyus, of Cartersville,
joined Miss Armstrong in the meeting,
and with her sweet voice charmed the
large throng who crowded the Metho
dist church. Her singing proved
quite an attraction for the meeting,
all hearts being toucheitby the melody
of her lovely voice. Iler selections
were most appropriate, and her pres
ence added much to tlie effectiveness
of the work. These two charming
women, witli their talents and gifts
consecrated to God, can be assured
that their noble efforts here will lin
ger always in the memories of all who
heard them.
TIIE baptist revival.
Rev. C. K. Henderson, tlie beloved
pastor of the Baptist church, will be
gin a series of protracted services at
his church next Sunday, and tlie meet
ing will continue for several days. All
Christian people are invited and urged
to attend and co-operate in the ser
vices.
Mr. Henderson is an able and elo
quent preacher, and his sermons will
be helpful and instructive to ail.

dered a complete ontfit of uniforms,and
this will lie good news to the many
ftionda of this splendid organization.
Tiie suits are to bo of dark bine
trimmed with black braid. This will
make a handsome uniform,and the boys
will present a fine appearance in their
new suits. Tho new snits are expected
to arrive in lime for the 4th of July
celebration, which will add to the at
tractiveness of the parade. The boys
are to be congratulated that events have
so shaped themselves that they arc aldo

town is to be congratulated on the pros
pect of having a nicely uniformed band
as well as one capable of furnishing
snob excellent mnsie as the Baugh-

The engineers have completed tho
survey of the Southern Railway from
Cave Spring to Cedartown, and officials
say that if the right of way and termi

right of way has been given by Capt.
T. M. Pace, Mr. W. J. Richardson, the

The committee appointed by the Board

WOMAN
IS LIKE A OEZJCATE
MUSICAL MSTiWMENT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and sings life’s song on a joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
is one key note to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There
are thousands of v/omen suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health is
of the first importance. Every other con
sideration should give way before it. Brad-
field’s Female Regulator is a medicine for
women’s ills. It is
thesafestandauick-
est way to cure !eu-
corrhea. falling of
the womb, nervous
ness, headache,
backache and gen
eralweakness, You
will be astonished
at the result, es-
, pecially if you have
been experiment
ing v/ith other so-
called remedies.
V/e are not asking
you to try an uncer
tainty. Bradfield’s
Regulatorhasmade
happy thousands of
women. What it
has done for others
it can do for you.
