—THE KUSTLKK.
Brigadier General Joe Wheeler, of
the United States Army, has been as
signed to the eommand of the Depart
ment of the Lakes, with headquarters
at Chicago.
The National Educational Associa
tion, which meets at Charleston, S. C.,
July lOth-lSth, will be a most notable
gathering, and every teacher who can
possibly attend should do so.
If a community is to forego under
taking any measure of reform until
every office-holder and candidate gives
his gracious consent, how long before
Polk county will he permitted to un
dertake one ?
If any candidate refuses to submit
his claims for office to he passed upon
by his white fellow citizens,he probably
has a good reason for it. Ilis innate
modesty restrains him from making
his reason known.
The deal between Bro. J. T. Fain,
late of the Rockmart Slate, and the
Cartersville News has been declared
off, and Bro. Aleck Willingham will
continue to preside over the destinies
of that bright journal.
Tlie year is more than half gone and
only two candidates have announced.
To he spared a long :md hitter cam
paign is certainly some tiling to be
grateful for. The White Primary
thus diffuses its blessings months in
advance.
If you have not yet hail an oppor
tunity to sign tiiat petitl ioieasking all
candidates to go into the white pri
mary, call on Mr. J. II. Dodds, chair
man of the White Primary Committee
and do so at. once. Numerously signed
lists have already been returned to
him.
The Alabama & Georgia Iron Co.,
reported last week, has recently
opened up its Cherokee mine at Cedar-
town, and is mining about (',00 tons
per day; is also having furnace relined
and will put it in blast on July 1st as a
charcoal furnace of sixty tons daily
output; Noali H. Swayne, vice presi
dent.—Manufacturers’ Record.
Many a candidate has to pray to be
delivered from his friends. We doubt,
for instance, if the few men who have
been trying to create the impression
that the white primary was gotten up
to defeat one or two candidates, have
ever thought how very uncomplimen
tary such a charge is to those candi
dates. Such talk is calculated to hurt
the interests of any candidate for
office, besides being false {anil ridicu
lous, and we trust we shall hear no
more of it.
THE STATE CONVENTION,
democrats have big repre
sentative GATHERING,
argcly Attended and Harmonious,
splendid State Ticket Put
in Nomination.
Tlie Democracy of Georgia met in
tate convention in Atlanta last Thurs-
a J, and it was a large and thoroughly
representative gathering. Many of
eorgia’s most brilliant sons were in
attendance, and many were present
w 10 had affiliated with other parties
in tlie past—just as a number of ex
populists were nominated for office in
the recent Democratic primary.
Ion. Fleming duBignon, one of
eorgia’s staunchest Democrats and
most brilliant statesmen, was honored
i unanimous re-election as perma
nent chairman of the convention,which
carries with it the chairmanship of tlie
State Executive Committee for tlie
next two years. Mr. duBignon re
ceived a perfect -ovatibn, which showed
the high esteem in which lie is hold by
Georgia’s “unterrilied” Democracy.
Hon. E. T. Brown, a sterling Demo
crat of Atlanta,was elected vice chair
man.
I he convention got right down to
business at once, and the results of
the recent primary were ratified liy tlie
convention in the nomination of tlie
following splendid ticket:—
For Governor,
ALLEN D. CANDLER.
For Secretary of State,
PHIL COOK.
For Comptroller General,
WM. A. WRIGIIT.
For Treasurer,
ROBERT E. PARK.
For Attorney' General,
JOSEPH M. TERRELL.
For Commissioner of Agriculture,
O. B. STEVENS.
For School Commissioner,
G. R. GLENN.
For Prison Commissioners,
[Full Term,]
C. A. EVANS,
[Unexpired Term,]
TITOS. EASON.
For Associate Justices Supreme Court
W. A. LITTLE,
II. T. LEWIS.
For United States Senator,
A. O. BACON.
For Representative in 57th Congress,
JOHN W. MAllDOX.
The announcement, of Mr. Charlie
R. Pittman, our popular Comity Sur
veyor, for re-election appears in this
issue, subject to the White Primary to
be held Aug. 15th. Mr. Pittman has
made a thoroughly competent official
being a skilled civil engineer, and de
serves re-election without opposition.
Mr. Pittman very sensibly considers
the white primary a good thing for
the county, and does not. hesitate to
commit his interests to his wiiite
fellow citizens.
China is practically at. war with the
whole civilized world, and tile situa-
tian is one of intense gravity for mis
sionaries and all foreigners ill that
country. All inland wires have been
cut by the “Boxers,” and it is impos
sible to get reliable news as yet from
Hie interior. Tlie Chinese forts at
laku Bred on tlie allied fleetsof Europe
and America the other day, ami were
themselves captured. American troops
are being transferred from tlie Philip
pines to China to protect our interests*
there.
The Republican National Conven
tion is now in session in Philadelphia,
and the nominations will he- made to
day. President McKinley will he re
nominated without opposition. The
nominee for Vice President is still in
the “Guess Who” column, but Roose
velt can have it if he will take it. The
New York “maslieen” ;s anxious to
have him tail tlie ticket in order to
shelve him from tlie Governorship.
Long of Massachusetts, Dolliver of
Iowa, and Fairbanks of Indiana, are
strong possibilities.
The infernal hypocrisy of tlie North
ern republicans on the negro question
was never more thoroughly shown
than at their national convention in
Philadelphia this week. They profess
to love tlie “brother in black,”—blit it
is at a distance. The large hotels have
absolutely refused to house or feed
colored delegates or sell them drinks,
and they have been ostracised at. every
turn. Tlie matter is so notorious that
the Philadelphia Pablic Ledger reads
its fellow republicans a lecture on tlie
subject. The negro will some time
learn that all the love the republicans
have for him is for his vote.
Col. M. B. Eubanks, of Rome, who
has been employed to assist in tlie
prosecution of Mr. W. C. Hannah, of
this county, for the shooting of Mr.
E. J. O’Brien near Cave Spring a few
weeks ago, has been having an inter
esting correspondence witli state au
thorities about the matter. It will be
remembered that Hannah was tried on
a charge of lunacy before Ordinary
Hogg on the same day that lie shot
O’Brieil, and was promptly sent to the
asylum. O Brien’s attorneys and rela
tives claim that Hannah wassaue when
the crime was committed and that the'
deed was premeditated, and they do
not want him to escape justice on a
plea of lunacy. Attorney* General
'Terrell writes Col. Eubanks that Han
nah can be indicted, and if his mental
condition at that time permits, he can
be brought back to Polk for trial on
tile criminal charge. The case pre
sents a novel legal problem.
These gentlemen have all made
splendid records in office—(with tlie
exception of Capt. Park, who was
paid the deserved compliment of
nomination without opposition to suc
ceed retiring Treasurer Speer,)—and
their nomination is an honor to tlie
state as well as themselves. They are
all popular and thoroughly capable
officers, and Georgia delights to do
them honor.
The various Judges and Solicitors
nominated by tile people in the recent
primary were also placed upon the
state ticket.
Hoii. Boykin Wrigiit of Augusta,
Hon.J. J. Spalding of Atlanta, Hon.
L. F. Garrard of Columbus, and Hon
Wylie Burnett of Athens,were elected
delegates from the state at large to the
Democratic National Convention, with
the following alternates: Mr. V. T.
Sanford of Rome, Col. C. II. Brand of
Lawrenceville, Mr. H. C. Fisher of
Newtiail, and Editor John Triplett of
Thomasville.
The Seventh district did itself honor
ill the selection of Hon. W. C. Bunn,
of Cedartown, and Col. A. S. Johnson,
of Cartersville, as delegates to the
convention. The alternates are Col.O.
N. Starr, of Calhoun, and Mr. II. R,
Harper, of Rome.
The many friends of Col. Bunn
throughout the district congratulate
him most heartily on his election as
delegate. It is a high compliment to a
prominent and worthy Democrat,
who has proved himself ever ready
and willing to fight the battles of his
party.
The district elector chosen for the
Seventh is Hon. J. P. Jacoway, of
Trenton, with Dr. D. S. Robinson, of
Dallas, alternate.
Tfie new nipnibers of tlie State Ex
ecutive Committee for this district are
Messrs. J. Z. Foster .of Marietta.aud S
P. Maddox, of Dalton.
The Seventh was represented on the
Committee on Platform and Resolu
tions liy Hon. J. M. McBride,of Talla
poosa, and Hon. P. B. Trammell, of
Dalton. The excellent work of that
committee is found embodied in the
party platform, which we publish
elsewhere in this issue.
Polk was well represented in the
convention by Dr. Win. Bradford,
chairman; Editor W. S. Coleman, sec
retary; non. W. O. Bunn, Col. J. H.
Sanders, Col. W. J. Harris and Col. F.
A. Irwin.
The convention did excellent work
throughout, and Georgia lias never
had a more representative or harmo
nious state convention.
And Georgia never had a better state
ticket—from Governor Candler down
—than the one which was unanimously
nominated by the Democracy of Geor
gia last Thursday.
ADDITIONS AT FURNACE.
The Alabama and Georgia Iron Com
pany continue their work of improve
ment at the furnace, and it is hoped
to have everything ready for going
into blast again by July 1st.
In the meantime stock is beingaccu-
mulated pending the resumption of
iron-making. Owing to a scarcity of
charcoal cars, this accumulation is
rather slow, but Mr. Swayne hopes to
get a sufficient supply to keep the fur
nace in blast when it does start.
The company is re-fitting its wood
working shop, and is making some ex
tensive improvements. Machinery is
being added to do ripping and planing,
tongue and groove work, and to make
weatherhoarding. Mr. M. J. Lynn,an
experienced and competent man, is in
charge of this department as well as
of tlie foundry and machine shops
The company will soon be prepared
to do all kinds of wood as well as
foundry work.
Mr. J. V. Oppert lias leased some
land from the lompany near its wood
working plant, on which he will estab
lish an extensive lumber yard, carry
ing a large stock of rough and dressed
lumber of all kinds.
A corps of civil engineers is survey
ing a switch track from the C. R. & S,
road near the Tannery to tlie furnace,
the line running back of Cedar Iliil
and reaching the furnace through tlie
old Cherokee farm in the rear of the
public school building. President C
B. Wilburn, of tlie C. R. & S., has
been in tlie city this week,looking over
the situation.

GEORGIA’S BROWN ORE FIELDS.
When tlie people of onr county have
given the White Primary a fair trial,
they will wonder why they never tried
it sooner—just as tlie good citizens of
Cedartown do now, after trying that
plan in two elections.
Hon. Fnlton Colville, of Atlanta, an
old Cedartown boy, was elected last
Thursday by the Stato Democratic Con
vention as one of tlie Electors for the
state-at-large. This brilliant young
lawyer is gaining a state reputation as
an orator of prestige, and his numerous
friends in Polk are congratulating him
and the Georgia Democracy on Iur for-
tnnato selection.
To say"that the White Primary was
gotten up to defeat any candidate
would imply that he did not stand well
with the white people of the county,
and true friends of any candidate will
be careful how they give expressions
to such views. All parties and fac
tions were represented in tlie call for
the White Primary mass meeting, and
every candidate caivthus stand on an
equal footing in that respect- in tlie
f primary to be held August loth.
The brown ores of Georgia, which
are attracting attention, are confined
mainly to the northwestern part‘of
the state, in wiiat is known as tlie
paleozoic area. Many of tlie desposits
are extensive, and have, in tiie last
few years, yielded large quantities of
high grade ores. These ores occur
chiefly in the lower Silurian formation,
blit are also found associated with the
carboniferous and the Cambrian de
posits. The most abundant iron de
posits of lower Silurian exist in what
is known as tlie Knox dolomite series
which consist of extensive magnesian
limestone depofits, with a maximum
thickness of more than 8,000 feet.
This magnesian formation often con
tains an abundance of chert and usu
ally gives rise to low, well rounded
ridges, along which the iron ore de
posits generally occur. The ore is
found in pockets,or irregular deposits,
in the residual clays tiiat have resulted
from the weathering of tlie magnesian
limestones. In connection witli these
ores, frequently more or less chert and
manganese are found. In the more
valuable deposits these impurities are
rarely ever present ill sufficient quanti
ties to affect the commercial value of
the ore. The extent of the deposits is
quite variable. In some cases the banks
contain only a few tons, while others
have produced several thousand car
loads. It is said tiiat tlie Ledbetter
mine at Cedartown, which covers an
area of about ten acres, lias paid a
royalty of $30,000, at tiie rate of 25
cents per ton and tile ore is by no
means exhausted. The ores are pres
ent in tlie banks in tlie form of graves,
nodules or bilge masses, tlie latter
often weighing several tons. In some
cases tlie ore is porous,or honeycombed,
but more generally it is compact and
free from all foreign material. Tlie
former method of mining these ores
was by a shovel, pick and screen, blit
in tlie last few years steam shovels and
log-washers have been introduced, and
as the result, the cost of mining has
been reduced in some instances as low
as 10 cents per ton. This amount pays
the entire cost, not of mining alone,
but of washing and placing the ores
aboard tlie cars ready for shipment to
the furnaces. The screen method of
working tlie ores is still adopted where
the banks are small or where the de
posits are unfavorably- located for
obtaining water for washing purposes.
This method, however, is necessarily
wasteful, as ail of the fine grained ore
is left on tlie dump. Some of these
dumps are being profitably worked by-
means of tlie log-washer.
With blit few exceptions tiie ores
are mined by open cuts varying in
depth from five to sixty feet, or to
water level. The extent of the ores
varies greatly in depth in different
localities. In one instance at Oredell
in Etna Valley, a borehole demon
strated that these brown ores extended
to the depth of more than 175 feet be
low the surface of tlie valley. Valu
able deposits in the vicinity of Cedar
town have been worked to the depth of
70 feet, without any- apparent decrease
in tlie richness of the deposit. It
seems probable that these deposits are
limited only by the magnesian lime
stone which underlies tlie residual
clays in which the ores occur. It
Cedartown will entertain a big

The-elegant new uniforms for tlie
Band are expected today and will
make a handsome outfit. Tile boys
will look well—besides furnishing the
best, of good music—on tlie Fourth.
Picked teams from the Fire Depart
ment are practising for the-contests,
which will be very interesting. Tlie
Department will have the annual pa
rade and inspection, which will he of
interest to all.
There will be some good speeches
at the Opera House, the full pro
gram for which will he announced
next week.
It will be a fitting celebration of the
anniversary of our nation’s birth, and
everybody should help to make it tlie
big success it deserves to he.

-The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Pres
byterian church, at their meeting Mon
day last, adopted the following as an
expression of their sentiments npon tlie
loss of their beloved sister, Mrs. -Kate
P. Ake:-
In the death of onr senior member,
Mrs. Kate P. Ake, this society loses its
most valued and faithful officer. For
more than twenty years wo have en
joyed the pleasure and benefit of her
almost uninterrupted attendance at our
meetings. In all these years she lias
been our wise and prndent counsellor, a
faithful and efficient officer, a kindly
and sympathetic adviser, a devoted and
nntiring worker.
One of its original founders, and its
Secretary and Treasurer since its first
organization, her presence at onr meet
ings came to be sneb a matter of coarse
that in lierrare absences we felt as if
no meeting was held. Now that we are
no more to enjoy her companionship or
benefit by her counsel, we begin to
realize the sore calamity that befell onr
Society when she crossed over the Dark
River and joined onr little gronp of
members who have gone before her in
the Great Beyond.
While to ns this separation is a sad
and distressful bereavement, it is sweet
to know that to her it is a peaceful and
grateful rest from n life of duty and
labor well and faithfnlly done. Her
example of patience, forbearance, gen
tleness, kindness nnd charitable con
sideration for the views and feelings ol
others, will remain with ns a goodly
heritage, a soothing benediction uud
constant inspiration for carrying on the
work that devolves upon ns.
Onr Secretary is directed to record
these sentiments npon 'a page of our
minnte book aud to send to the bereaved
husband a copy.

expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis

often happens that the ore deposit is | most convenient and handsomest of
interrupted by huge masses of clays,
technically known as “horses,” usually
vari-colored, but often almost white,
and are comparatively pure kaolins.
The locations of the ore deposits, as a
general rule, are indicated by the oc
currence of m ire or less float ore
strewn upon tlie surface. The abund
ance of ore upop the surface, however,
is not always a criterion of the quan
tity of tlie ore below. It often hap
pens that the surface ore is not abund
ant, but beneath valuable and exten
sive deposits may frequently be found;
while on the other hand, an extensive
surface outcropping is sometimes
found to be quite limited in depth. One
of the most valuable deposits in tlie
vicinity of Cedartown, the Lindsey
bank, lias a remarkably poor surface
prospect. The only surface indication
here to be. seen is a few scattering
boulders occurring in a heavy mantle
chert, while beneath this mantle,which
is only a few feet in thickness, the ore
occurs in considerable abundance, in
the mottled, red clays.
The more extensive mining opera
tions now being carried on ill the state
are mainly confined to Polk and Bar
tow counties. Since the civil war the
brown ores of these counties have been
mined on a more or less extensive scale.
Prior to that time, in the latter county
they were mined to a considerable ex
tent, and were reduced in small char
coal furnaces, the remains of which
are still to be seen at various places in
the county. The present output from
the counties of Polk and Bartow, which
amounts to something like 75 carloads
laily, is shipped chiefly to Birming
ham, Rock Run, Chattanooga and
South Pittsburg, where it is used in
