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.

I hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election as County Treasurer. Thanking the people for their past sup port, I respectfully ask a continuance of i,he same,promising to continue to serve them, if re-elected, to the very best of my ability. John M. Hamrick.

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.
