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, J A Berry, H W Branch, T.

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. CHINA IS DANGER. Those “Boxers” will put old China In a box of tlie worst type; Then to drop tlie box and smash it The time is surely ripe. TIIE RUSTLER. The Standard has no candidates. Bring in your announcement, $5 cash in advance. The State Epworth League Conven tion will he held in Rome on June 21st The Cedartown League will he well represented. A number of candidates are gettin. ready to announce for the various county ollices, subject to the white primary. Captain A. B. S. Moseley', of Rome, has been appointed vice consul gen eral for the United States at Singa pore, Straight’s Settlement,China. Airs.”Rebecca D. Lowe, of Atlanta, has been honored by re-election as president of the National Association of Women’s Clubs, which met last 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: Messrs. W. C. Bunn, W. J. Harris, E. B. Russell, D. T. Colquitt, W. F. Gas ton, J. S. Brewster, C. R„ Wingard, Jack Davis and A. E. Young. 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.

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.

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.
