It not, dear Teddy, Better “sit steady” And say “No” if you eare for yourself —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. FOR THE FOURTH. RET EVERYBODY HELP IN THE CELEBRATION.

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 crowd on the 4th of July—and one week from next Wednesday is the day. Cedartown will pnt on her holiday attire in honor of the day,and all who can should aid in making every fea ture of the occasion a success. Flags and bunting should ornament, our stores and residences. Every owner of a bicycle should decorate his or hec wheel and partici pate in the bicycle parade, which will be an especially attractive feature. Mr. M. T. Borden, leader of the Baugh-Zimrnerman Band,urges every body who can sing to meet with them next. Tuesday evening at the Opera House to practice singing the familiar patriotic airs for file occasion. There should be a large and fine chorus or ganized. 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. lit-so I ti I Inns on the Deal It of Mr..

Rich ardson of Atlanta, gratified the wishes of her many Cedartown friends by giv ing a musical entertainment at the Booz Honse last Friday evening. This charming young lady, just blos soming into womanhood, has remarka ble mimical talent, and her rendition of piano selections was exquisite. She has a clear, sweet voice as well, nnd her singing was especially pleasing. She is a graduate of the Prather Homo School in Atlanta, and her fine natural ability has been supplemented by- the best of training. Miss Florine is a Cedartown girl by birth, and has a host of friends hero who rejoice at her progress and snccess. THF. DEATH OF MRS. AKE. Marshal J. II I’liilpnt, assisted by Messrs J. M. Jolly and Bob lings- dale, made a raid on a .lUrepuable house on Thompson’s hill, kept by a woman named Jennie Sparks, who came here a few tlays ago from Rome. Tlie posse made its appear nice ja.st in lime, as one of the young men in the house laid blown out Hie lights with tlie suggestion tiiat they have “a rough house,” and lot of promiscuous shooting was started, in which tlie fellow who made t lie suggestion received a shot in Hie hip. The wounded man was placed under arrest but taken to the bou-e of a friend. Six men and the Sparks woman were taken to jail. Marshal Philpol has tbe thanks of tlie good people of Unit neighbor hood for breaking up this disorderly house. A telegram yesterday morning an nounced the dealli of Mr. Geo. Cross ley at Fl.

If you want a nice Rockmart resi dence at a bargain, if will pay you to communicate at once with TiieStaiid- aki> at Cedartown -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. Mbs. S. N. Clary, Mbs. ,T. E. Good nnd Mrs. Wm. Bradford, Committee.

We are having plenty of rain nnd Kev. J. W. Tittle, of Macon, was . crops are getting in bad shape. with Rockmart friends a part of last week. The O’Neill Manufacturing Com pany, of Rome, has drawn plans for the new chapel to he built for Pied mont Institute. The chapel will cost about $5,000, and will be one of the 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 tile large furnaces of 'the leading iron and steel concerns of the southern territory.—American Maimfacturer. the kind in North Georgia.
