FOR SHERIFF.
To the Voters of Polk County:—I
have, for some time, contemplated en
tering the race for Sheri ft of Polk
county. I Lave withheld a public an
nouncement for a settlement of the
question as to whether or not a white
primary would be held for the selection
of county officers, being unable to buy
votes, and also opposed conscientiously
to vote buying, even if I were able to
buy them. That question being settled,
since nearly all the people of the county
who have expressed their wishes and
opinions on the subject have pro
nounced in favor of a white primary,
and the Committee the people elected
to manage it have called for a white pri
mary to be held on August the 15th for
the selection of county officers, I feel
that there is an open field and a fair race
for all, whether rich or poor, upon their
merits and qualifications for office. I,
therefore, announce myself a candidate
for the office of Sheriff, subject to the
white primary on the date above men
tioned. If 1 am not the nominee of the
white voters of the county for that of
fice, I am for the man who is. If elected.
I shall endeavor to show my apprecia
tion of the confidence my fellow-citi
zens repose in me by making the best
officer in my power. My Deputies will
be Messrs. T. C. Hagan and W. A. Hack
ney. J. C. Knight.
HON. DANIEL BAUGH,
FOR clerk.
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for re-election as Olerk of Polk Superior
Court, and ask the votes ol the people
of the county, thanking them most
heartily for their support in the past.
* W. 0. Knight.
FOR TAX RECEIVER.
I take this method of letting the
voters of Polk county know that I am a
candidate for the office of Tax Receiver
of Polk county. Should I be elected, I
will do my utmost to make the people a
faithful officer, and will very much ap
preciate their help. Election, Wednes
day, Oct. 3d, 1900. Bespectfully,
Em era C. KingsRery.
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for re-election to the position of Tax
Receiver of Polk county.
M. *E McCormick.
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for the office of Tax Receiver for Polk
county, and will very much appreciate
the support of the general public.
T. B. McCurry.
FOR TAX COLLECTOR.
Thanking the people ol Polk for past
favors, I hereby announce myself a can
didate for re-election as Tax Collector,
and solicit your support.

FOR TREASURER.
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for re-election as County Treasurer.

The Able President of the Cedar-
town Company, Is Here from
Philadelphia—A Distin
guished Visitor.
Hon. Daniel Baugh, of Philadel
phia, the honored president of the
Cedartown Company, is in the city,
having reached here Saturday. He
is accompanied by his estimable wife,
and they are the guests of their pop
ular young son, Mr. Paul Baugh, at
the latter’s beautiful residence, “Uw-
chlan,” on College street.
Mr. and Mrs. Baugh are just back
from their annual yachting crnise in
the Mediterranean, and are spending
a few days quite pleasantly here,
where Mr. Baugh lias large financial
interests and personal attachments.
In conversation with a Standard
man, he talked entertainingly of his
trip abroad, but he is vastly more in
terested in Cedartown and her grow
ing affairs. He feels more confident
than ever of our splendid future,
and his company is persistent in
some important plans for our further
development and greater expansion.
Mr. Daniel Baugh is looking over
the field here ior the special purpose
ol establishing an industry at the
head of which his son, Mr. Paul
Baugh, will 'stand. That matter is
not fully determined yet, but Cedar
town people will be pleased im
mensely to know for a certainty that
some industry will be built and op
erated by Mr. Baugh, in addition to
the business of the Cedartown Com
pany. This will ensure the perma
nent location of Mr.PauI Baugh here,
and we are sure that we _ voice the
unanimous wish of our people that
the family ties and business relations
of these Philadelphians may induce
the distinguished head of this com
pany to become also a permanent
resident of our city.
Incidentally Mr. Baugh remarked
that if there had been an agreement
reached between the City Council
and his company last spring, the
handsome $15,000 brick block on the
corner of Main street and West av
enue would now be well on towards
completion, and a lot of money for
the merchant, the mechanic, the day
laborer and lor materials would now
be enlivening these summer days.
By the way, Mr. Baugh has again
remembered substantially our excel
lent musical organization,the Baugh-
Zimmerman Band, by handing the
treasurer a $100 check Tuesday morn
ing,this making his handsome dona
tion the neat sum of $200. His gen
erous liberality to every Cedartown
enterprise increases the esteem and
admiration of our entire people for
this broad minded and clever gentle
man.
