the festive chigger.
Oh, the chigger is mean,
Am mean as can be—
The worst old back*biter
That ever you see!
But, alas and alack !
We find it the case
T« not only the “back”
But any old placo!
Ami ho bites and be digs,
And sure has no match
For making folks come
Bight up to the scratch.
He’s small but he’s mighty—,
(Glad lio’s not bigger
When lie’s under our “nightie")—
The gay, festive chigger.

an OPEN GETTER.
Hon. J. S. Davitte, one of Polk’s
best and most prominent citizens,
sends us the following “open letter,”
with a request for its publication :
Davitte’m, Ga., June 20,1000.
“1)b.” Thomas Gibson
Dear Sir:—I accept tile sobriquet
you apply to yourself in last week’s
Slate—“Collins’ ram”—and tliat you
will butt wlierever you darned please.
Now the same legend is that his
rnniship never butted Collins, (some
of us think we know Collins,) but
did butt himself all away, except his
tail, at his own shadow.
1 was led to believe at tile mass
meeting from what you said that you
were in favor of the white supremacy
movement started by as good Demo
crats as there is in the state of Georgia
—Dr. William Bradford, chairman of
the Executive Committee of' the De
mocratic party of Polk county,and
unanimously endorsed by Democrats,
Populists and Republicans at the mass
meeting in February, and approved by
the white primary vote on April 4th at
a ratio of 30!) to !).
Please butt an answer to the follow
ing:—
1st. What lias changed you against
the movement?
2d. Is it not better to hind ourselves
and friends in a white primary volun
tarily than to have ourselves and
friends forcibly bound by such meth
ods as have been practiced for several
years at the general elections?
Respectfully, J. S. Davitte.
P. S. Every man that gets his mail
at, Davitte’s has joined the White
Primary Club but one. We now num
ber 10, and only one of the ninteen
went to the white primary election on
April 1th. J.S. D.

Editobs Standakd :
Aly dear Friends:—You will find en
closed one dollar for a year’s subscrip
tion to The Standard. We enjoy
reading it. It is a connecting link in
memory’s chain of many pleasant as
sociations. I would like to enclose a
“ten” as a small compensation for all
privileges granted us by The Stand-
abd. I might write many pleasant
tliiugs of our new home, hut 1 am not
runuiugthe Presbyterian budget now,
but if yon ever want to climb some
Pisgah height and view the land flow
ing with milk and maple syrup, come
up and we will put them on tap for you.
If Coleman will bring liis press gang
up here,we will show him what’s wliat.
With kindest regards,! remain,as ever,
Yours fraternally,
\V. S. Wallace.

There have been -three attempts at
rape by negroes near Rome in the past
few weeks, and it is safe to predict a
lynching there one of these days.
Hon. L. N. Trammell, the distin
guished chairman of our State Rail
road Commission, is lying almost- at
death’s door at his home in Marietta.
Senator Bacon has appointed Wm. C.
Fite, a son of Judge A. W. Fite of
Cartersville, to a West Point cadet
ship, under the recent act of Congress.
Bro. ,T. T. Fain, late of the Rock-
mort Slate, is now at the head of the
Rome Commercial Argus. We wish
this bright young journalist abundant
success in his new venture.
- The man who tries to argue against
the white primary idea is in as hail
shape as anyone would be wlvo would
undertake to argue against temper
ance, yirture and Sabbath observance.
Ten years ago Cedartown’s popula
tion was only 1323. Of course, the
present census figures are unavailable,
but Tnn Standard will register a
guess that they will show that we now
have nearly twice that many people
within our corporate limits, and some
thing over 4,000 including the factory-
district just outside.
The situation in China is one of the
utmost gravity. The allied forces of
America and Europe have had some
.hard fights the past week with the
“Boxers,” and have captured Tien
Tan, tile Americans being tlie first to
enter. Additional forces are being
sent to China as rapidly- as possible by
all the nations.
The White primary.
The white primary has come to stay
m Georgia—and it will finally come to
stay in i’ 0 ik,
Scheming politicians may light it
for their own selfish ends and succeed
In postponing its adoption for a time,
hut it win not take many more vote-
buying, whiskey-using elections to
convince the people that the white
primary is the best possible method
for maintaining white supremacy and
ensuring political decency.
1 he white primary- was suggested in
Polk in the interests of decency and
harmony, and its friends have been
open and above-board in their advo
cacy of it—and that, too, in tl e face
of industrious misconstruction and
misrepresentati in of their motives,
ft was intended as a measure for peace,
but its little ring of enemies Iqivc
sought in every way to pervert its
purpose,and upon them is the reponsi-
bility for the temporary defeat of the
best political reform movement ever
inaugurated in Polk.
It has been apparent from the start
to every- thoughtful friend of tlip
movement that the white primary
conld not he made a success unless all
the candidates for county office would
go into and abide by it. We have been
in hopes that there would be sufficient
wisdom and patriotism among the
various candidates—to say nothing
about their own best interests, if
rightly viewed,—to induce them all
to go into the white primary. This
hope,we regret to say,was dispelled last
week by the announcement for office of
Messrs.R.W.Everett, A.D.Ifoggand D.
H. Iluhbard against the white primary.
This action of Mr. Everett is certainly
a painful surprise to the friends of the
movement, when his prominent part
in inaugurating it is remembered.
It is with the profoundest regret
that we now feel compel le I to suggest
that tile White Primary Committee be
called together, and the ortl**r for the
primary revoked.
To further insist oil the holding of
the primary since these -announce
ments have been made, would really
make the movement one of war in
stead of peace, and would delay the
adoption of the white primary in Polk
for. many years. We are too sincerely
the friends of the measure to insist on
such a course, and we accordingly
make this suggestion to the White
Primary Committee, who alone have
power to act in the matter.
The Standard went into the fight
for the white primary purely as a mat
ter of principle, and would do the
same thing over again.
All reform movements must have
their pioneers, and all must undergo
more or less opposition and misrepre
sentation. We are satisfied that nine-
tentlisof the good white people of Polk
are at heart in favor of the white pri
mary,and we have every assurance that
our course has met their approval. The
little ring who have opposed it are
certainly welcome to all the capital
they get by it, and we hereby place
ourselves on record as favoring a
white primary two years from now.
The Standard went into the move
ment not to elect or defeat any candi
dates, lint because we saw the bene
ficial workings of the white primary
in our city elections, and were con
vinced that it would be productive of
commensurate good if adopteil in the-
county. Wherever tried, it has proved
of genuine advantage to both white
and colored citizens,effectively raising
the moral standard of the community.
The Standard has had no candidates
for ofiice this year, and will have none
unless some question involving prin
ciple arises, when we will he found—as
in this white primary issue—on the
side of decency and honor. Tins pa
per is not owned by office-seekers, and
can well afford to stay out of the ap
proaching scramble for i o n y offices,
knowing that after the October elec
tion tile white primary people in Polk
will be'‘as thick as leaves in Vallam-
brosia.”
We have been earnest, honest and
active in our support of the white pri
mary; we have no apologies to offer to
any one for our position, and we are
determined that the responsibilty for
its defeat shall be placed where it
belongs.
WEDNESDAY THE DAY:
POLK’S TEACHERS
AT THE COTTON OH, MIIAi.
All is activity at the site of the new
cottonseed oil mill, and a car-load of
machinery has already arrived. The
building is being prepared for the re
ception of what Mr. Van Winkle says
will be the finest equipment of cotton
seed oil machinery in the Sontii.
Mr. Ed. Van Winkle was np Saturday
from Atlanta, and The Standabd en
joyed a pleasant call from this gonial
gentleman. He will come here with
his bride in September, and will have
charge of the mechanical department
of tlio plant, with which he is thor
oughly familiar in every detail. They
will certainly be warmly welcomed here.
The now plant will he a model of its
kind; and with Mr. J. E. Honseal as
president, Dr. Ij. S. .Ledbetter as sec
retary and treasurer, and Mr. Van Win
kle in charge of its practical operation,
the enterprise certainly has a bright
prospect for abundant success. It
shonld certainly receive the co-opera
tion of our farmers in its seed -supply.

BEDARTOWS WILD CELEBRATE
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Good Speeches, Music, Parade,
Races, Decorations and—Crowds
of People.
Wake us early Wednesday’ morning—
Can’t too early if you try,—
Farit’s the Fourth of July,boys, ii’s the
Fourth of July!
Next Wednesday is the anniversary
of our nation’s natal day, ^nd Cedar
town celebrate the occasion in will
an appropriate manner.
Everybody who can should decorate
both business houses and residences,
and give Cedartown a genuine holiday
appearance.
There will be a-hig crowd in town,
for the program arranged is a most
attractive one.
The Baugh-ZimnSefman Rand, the
best organization of the kind in North
Georgia, will furnish the music for the
occasion, and that guarantees the ex
cellence of this feature of the day.
Promptly at 9.30 o’clock the annual
parade and inspection of our popular
and efficient Fire Department will
take place. The parade will form on
Main street in front of the Council
Chamber^ headed by our Mayor, Coun
cil and members of the School. Board
ill carriages, and the Baugh-Zimmer-
inan Band. The firemen will follow
with tlieir apparatus handsomely de
corated, and accompanied by tlieir fail-
sponsors in carriages—Miss Mary Bar
ton for No. 1, and Miss Jennie Hunt
ington for No. 2. They will he fol
lowed by the bicyclists on decorated
wheels. Tlie line of march takes in
parts of our principal streets, after
which the fire department will un
dergo its annual inspection.
At 10.30 o’clock a pleasing program
will be presented at tlie Baugh Opera
House, presided over by Mayor T,. S.
Ledbetter. Patriotic airs will be sung
by a large chorus,led by the Band—and,
by the way, all who can sing should
meet with the Band at tlie Opera
House at 8 o’clock this evening
for practice. Mr. N. H. Sway ne, the
honored Vice President of the Ala
bama and Georgia Iron ,Oo., will de
liver the oration of tile day, and Col.
W. IC. Fielder will read the Declara
tion of 1 ndepeiidence.
The Ooera Honso exercises will lie
well worth nltending, and will draw a
largo crowd.
At 3 p. m. the Band will give n de
lightful open air concert, preceding and
interspersing the contests and races
arranged by the Fire Department, of
which Dr. C. V. Wood is the popular
Chief. There will bo reel and hose
races, all run under the rules of the
North Georgia and Alabama Firemen’s
Association. Ladder-climbing contests
and foot-races, and an exhibition run
by the team which won the prizes at the
Gadsden tournament, will ho features
of absorbing interest. Tlio juvenile
company with its pretty new “jumper”
will also give on exhibition rnn. It will
bo a good program of sports, and with
the splendid music by the Band will he
worth coming from a distance to attend.
There will he o big crowd in Cedar-
town next Wednesday, and they will he
well re-paid for coming.
In the meantime, onr people shonld
plan to decorate extensively with flags
aud bunting; those who can sing should
go to the Opera House this evening to
practice for the music; and all who have
wheels should decorate them and par
ticipate in the parade. Let ns work
together to make the day a success in
every respect.
A HANDSOME COMI’LIMEN 1’.
The editor of the Canton Advance, who
attended tlio State Democratic Conven
tion in Atlanta recently, indites the
following handsome compliment to a
Cedartown man in his account of con
vention incidents:—
“Our old friend “Walt” Coleman, of
Tue Cepahtown Standard,and also the
energetic and ever obliging President of
the Georgia Weekly Press Association,
wa3 there in full force, and introduced
us to most of Georgia’s distinguished
sons present at both the Kimball and
capital. And to say he knows thorn all
hardly does him jnstice, for ho shullled
off a pedigree aud title to each with
some valiant political stroke, contem
plated, if not accomplished, till at
times we were amazed at his versatility
of men and affairs. One more trip with
him and we conld again renow onr old
time familiarity with Georgia editors,
politicians and diplomats. It must be
sack a happy combination of suave
facnlties aud his untiring, catering dis
position that induces so intelligent a
body’ of news keraldcrs as the Georgia
Weekly Press Assoication to retain him
so long a3 its head official. The asso
ciation is very intellectual and brainy,
and wields a power in the moulding of
both state and federal politics, aud
doubtless has many equally gifted, some
perhaps, more talented in certain lines
than President Coleman, but I very
much doubt if he will ever be succeeded
by any one who will combine the quali
ties backed by the pluck and energy to
sccnre the many accommodations to the
association that W. S. Coleman has
daring his management.”
Next Sabbath in the Presbyterian
church the Rev. C. O’N. Martirdale
will preach npon “Man’s Inability
to Save Himself,” and at 8 p. m. upon

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pnblio
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid' to he generous to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors
of Dr. King’s Now Discovery for’ Con
sumption, Conghs and Colds,have given
away over ten million trial bottles pf
this great medicine;’and have the satis
faction of knowing it lias absolutely
cured thousands pf hopeless. eases.

ARE HOLDING AN INTERESTING
COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Ar ilie Samuel Benedict Memorial
’■School —The" Program as An
nounced in The Standard Carried
Oat.
The teachers of Polk county are now
in session at the Benedict Memorial
School.
Hon. J. E. Houseal, Polk’s popular 1
and able School Commissioner, is the
directingspirit,and instead of listening
to the labored efforts of some expert,
the teachers are themselves giving
practical demonstrations of the good
effects of self-work. Mr. Honseal and
the committee of arrangements had
prepared an excellent program, which
The Standard has announced, and all
the teachers in the public schools of
the county have been attending the
daily sessions.
Three sessions are being held daily
—morning, afternoon and night,—
and an absorbing interest has been
maintained throughout the exercises.
While sickness and the heavy rains
have prevented a few from being pres
ent, yet the attendance lias been regu
lar, and the greatest possible good of
the practical kind has been derived
from tlie week’s work.
In addition to Commissioner IIous-
eal, such well known teachers as Pres
ident Geo. E. Benedict, Superinten
dent n. L. Sewell, Prof. Olin King,
Prof. Henry R. Hunt, Prof. J. M. Law-
soil, Rev. G'. R. Roman, Miss Ida Hunt,
Mrs. M. A. Crahb, Miss Mary Brumby,
Prof. B. B. Callaway, the Misses Rey
nolds and others have given the exer
cises this week a distinctive personal
ity, and the public school interests of
the county have been greatly eon-
served by the experience and training
derived from this gathering of intelli
gent anil energetic pedagogues.
A laughable and pleasing incident
last night added no little to the mirth
and enjoyment of the teachers’ work.
A moot court was held, at which
Prof. O. King was tried for breach of
promise. Miss Ethel Lawson was the
fair prosecutor, Col. J. 0. Walker was
the grave and dignified Judge, Mr.
Jud Crabb was the typical and inimit
able Sheriff, while the brilliant array
of counsel consisted of Cols. C. K.
Henderson, Jr., and Col. Tom If mil for
the defendant, and Cols. Henry R.
Hunt and Jndson Crahb for the state.
The trial was a rich proceeding, con
vulsing the crowded house n il h laugh
ter throughout the evening, and re
sulted in the conviction of the defend
ant, who was sentenced to thirteen
years in the Kindergarten.
The exercises will close Friday even
ing,and the teachers will return to
their homes greatly improved and de
lighted by the Institute of 1900.

WATCH THIEF CAUGHT.
A negro named Will Moore took a
silver watch to Mr. J. Ij. Turner, the
jeweler, for repairs last week. The
watch hail engraved thereon the mono
gram “A. W. R.,” and Mr. Turner at
once suspected that the- watch had
been stolen.
Moore called for the watch Saturday,
and in order to find whether or not
the suspicions were well founded, Mr.
•Idle Turner bantered the negro to sell
the watch. The darkey dropped from
.-flu to $2.50, which Mr. Turner paid
over to him and then commenced to
question him closely. The negro be
came alarmed, threw down the $2 50,
grabbed the watch and ran. Mr.
Turner gave chase, but the negro had
too much the start, of him and got
away. He was captured later by
Messrs. “Bunch” Green and Scott
Weaver about three miles from town.
The watch was found to he the prop
erty of Mr. A. \V. BurgdortV, and was
restored fo him, ami the negro became
a star boarder at the Hotel de Crocker.
Mr. W? \V. Com* went down to

Every woman loves to think of the
time when a. soft little body, all her
own, will nestle in her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture in her mind
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
of the joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
t’s Friend
v/hich makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives tho muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
