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.

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. OUR HONOR ROUIi. The Standard has been made happy within the past few days by the pay ment of the following subscriptions : J H Hines, Cedartown ifl 00 W I Taylor, Briscoe JO B W Hunt, Cedartown 50 D A Whitehead, Cedartown 150 J I Fuliwood, Cedartown 1 00 T M Hightower, Ragan, Ala 3 00 J W Dean, Grady, 1 00 Rev W S Wallace, Vermont 1 00 J G Eubanks, Cedartown.. 3 00 J W Lee.Cedartown 25 S M Hightower, Cedartown 25 R T Owen,Cedartown 1 00 J B Pierce, Pickard 50 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. standpipe ordinance. Any person or persons excessively using water to the extent of exhausting i tie supply in the stand pipe, there by en dangering the property of tlio citizens Irom fire, shall be lined a sum oi not less than fifty dollars, for each offence.

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 “Why I Love Jesns.” Morning offer ing for the widows and orphans oi de ceased ministers and for infirm minis ters. Sabbath School and Teachers’ Meeting promptly at 9.30 a. m. Chris tian Endeavor Society at 4 p. m., the topic being “How has God Blessed Onr Nation?” Ladies’ Aid Society for work at home and abroad meets at the church Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock, at which pastor will lecture on “ The Conversion of Western and Northern Europe,” and every member is nrged to be present.

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. Mr. D. It. Neshil spent Saturday ill Piedmont, Ala.
