QUALITY and quantity. Cotton bids fair to bring a good price this fall, but our farmers have it , their power to regulate the price to a large extent by their handling of the ccpp. The exhortations of The Standard on this line last year, at the sugges tion of Mr. C. W. Smith, one of the most successful cotton-buyers in North Georgia, accomplished a great deal of good, and we wish to remind our farm ers of the same facts in., due season this year. As Mr. .1. S. Stubbs, one of our most prominent buyers, remarked the other day, too much stress cannot be laid upon this matter. Cedartown now has three cotton factories, running day and night, and all using none but the highest grades of cotton, for which they are willing to pay the highest market price. For the lower grades there is no local market, and they con sequently command a much lower proportionate price. Every farmer can improve the grade of his cotton by beeping it free from trash, and picking and ginning when dry. So many farmers are careless on these points, and they invariably in this way cut down the price and cut off the profit of their crop. A half-cent or a cent a pound often represents the margin between profit and loss for a farmer,and he can easily place it on the profit side of his ac count by using proper care in the handling of his crop. Cedartown is going to furnish the best market in North Georgia again this year for high grade cotton. See that your cotton is properly cared for, bring it to Cedartown, and get the highest market price for it. FOR THE PARK. EVERYBODY ENTHUSIASTIC FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT. CEDARTOWN TO HAVE ONE THE COMING SEASON. Important Committees Appointed to Pash the .Work Along. POhli'S WHEAT CROP. Thk Standard a couple of weeks ago published some eye-opening fig ures as to the wheat Crops of this vicinity, but there is an especial rea son for getting the fullest possible re ports as to the size of the crop. There is only one way to do tins,and that is through the co-operation of the owners of threshing machines. We would accordingly ask that they re port either to Tbk Standard or to Mr. John II. Phillips, one of our promi nent farmers who is greatly interested in wheat culture, the amount of wheal, which goes through their machines this season. They will find it. to their interest to do this because of tile in creased wheat acreage which will fol low next year as a result. The reason is this: The Alabama and Georgia Iron Co., who own t he old Cherokee mill,will change it to a roller process mill of the latest and mpst improved type if they can be shown that the amount of wheat, raised in l’olk will justify it. There has been comparatively little wheat raised in Ibis county until the past two years, but the low price of cotton necessita ted attent ion to other lines of farming, and wheat cull nre has proved so profit able that it has doubtless come to stay. The changing of the old Cherokee to a modern mill would encourage our farmers to engage more extensively than ever before in wheat-raising. Mr. W. O. Cornelius, one of Polk’s best farmers, raised 350 instead of 225 bushels, as reported two weeks ago, an average of twenty bushels to the acre. Some of his land . which had been cleared fifty years averaged fifteen bushels to tile acre. Farmers will do well to urge the threshing machine men to send in their reports promptly, and the ma chine men will certainly serve their own interests by so doing.

The park project is moving along with added impetus this week, the ladies having taken the matter in hand in good earnest. And when Cedartown ladies take hold of an enterprise its success is as sured from the start. The giving of an ice cream festival at the park last Friday evening was an inspiration, for it was not only a big success financially bnt gave to many of onr people new ideas as to the possi bilities for park improvement. The mere cutting of the grass and weeds gave the place a park-like appearance, and by the time the contemplated fence, band pavilion and rustic bridges are built, it will be one of jtlie prettiest places in this section. The Baugh- Zimmerman Band furnished the best of music, and ice cream and lemonade were served .to the large, crowds in attendance. The property around the Big Spring has belonged to the city for several years, but little has been done to beautify it. .The work of individuals in planting trees lias been ruthlessly destroyed by two and four-legged ani mals, and it has seemed impossible to give the place any adornment until the idea was suggested of pleasing the property absolutely at a nominal sum to an association of ladies for park purposes for a long term of years. This has been wisely done by the city authorities, and the ladies of Cedar town are now in full possession of this property, with all its possibibtes for beautifying. The Ladies Park Association is well, officered, as follows: President—Mrs. W. C. Bunn; vice president—^Mrs. H. L. Sewell; secretary—Mrs. E. B< Bus sell; treasurer—Mrs. Wm. Parker. The following committees have been appointed to take charge of various items of the work: — Committee on Pavilion and Bridges— Mrs. J. A. Peek, chairman; Mrs. E. B. Russell, Mrs. S. F. Marshall, Mrs. H. N. VanDevander, Mrs’. J. VY. Barr, Mrs. J. R. Barber, Mrs. J. H. Dodds, Mrs. Wm Parker, Miss D sllsi Harris, Miss Gertie Knight, Miss Elizabeth Booz. Committee on Fence—Mrs. G. H. Wade, chairman; Mrs. J. H. Sandeir Mrs. W. K. Holmes, Mrs. J. A. Dodds, Mrs. J. A. Liddell, Mrs. C. Vann Wood, Mrs.J. Wright Adamson, Mrs. W.S. Coleman, Mrs. M. T. Borden, Mrs. J. O. Crabb, Miss Delia Russell, Miss Mary Harris. Committee on Grounds—Mrs. R. O. Fitts, chairman; Mrs. Jud Crabb, Mrs. B. F. Sims, Mrs. W. T. Gibson, Mrs. R_ A. Adams, Mrs. F. S. Bunn, Mrs. II. L Sewell, Mrs. L. S. Ledbetter, Mrs. Mary Janes, Misses Jennie Backer, Alice Birkbeck, Kate Booz, Sara Harris, Lucy Ghambless and Nancy Pitts. Committee on Anapging Entertain ments lor Benefit of Park-Mrs. J. H, Sanders, chairman; Mrs. W. C. Bunn, Mrs. C. W. Smith, Mrs. N. H. Sivayne, Mrs. J. K. Davis, Mrs. R. R. Parks, Mrs. A. W. Birkbeck, Mrs. O. E. Mar shall, Mrs. J. H. Hines, Mrs.J. M. Curt- right, Mrs. .1. H. Phillips, Mrs. .1. A Peek, Mrs. H. N. VanDevander, Mrs.J. W. Barr, Mrs. F. S. Bunn, Mrs. C. K. Henderson, Misses Sallie Trimble,- Martha Adams, Rena May Ledbetter, Pauline Chapman, Maiie Stubbs, Mary Barton, Fannie Lon Moore, Gussie llouseal and Willie Wood. Every lady in Cedartown is nrged to enlist in the work of park adornment. Every visitor to Cedartown is taken to see our splendid Big Spring, and it will be a good thing for Cedartown if they can see a nice park as well. The work of collecting subscriptions and sebnring new one? is progressing nicely. Col. C. P. Ball, the popular general manager of the East & West, lias forwarded to Mrs. Bunn, who is doing snch excellent work as president, bis check for $100 for the park, which iB the largest single subscription yet re ceived, and one for which the genial Colonel has the thanks of the com munity. Every lady in the oity is asked to contribute $1 toward the building of a fence around the park, and there should be a general response. The park project is proving a. big success—and YOU should help to make it so. All ladies interested in the movement are urged to meet at the Booz House at 5 p. m. today to farther discuss the plans for the park. Cedartown bids the Rome District Conference a hearty welcome for its meeting here next- week. Tlie American ilag is reported to be Hying over a portion of Tien Tsin, China. Will the imperialists insist that it shall never be hauled down? The many Cedartown friends of Mr. Wade W. Milam and family will regret to learn of his death, which occurred last week at his home in LaGrange. Mr. Milam was City Recorder of Cedartown for several years and was generally liked here. Elijah Clark,a negrorapistat Hunts ville, Ala., was lynched Monday, after a strong resistance on the part- of the Sheriff. The negro confessed his guilt, but said that as his victim was “only a poor factory girl,” he didn’t think he would be bothered about ft. The mob showed him his mistake, however, in an effective manner. Something probably unprecedented in the annals of history occurred Sun day at “Fiddlers’ Hollow” near Etna. Ailsie Prior, a colored woman 105 years old, was baptized by immersion. Her great age seems to be well authen ticated, and we doubt if the immer sion of anyone of such advanced years is elsewhere recorded. Tlie unanimous re-election of Hon W. J. Neel, of Rome, as chairman of the Democratic District Executive Committee at the Congressional Con vention in Calhoun last w r eek, was a high and well deserved compliment to a staunch and capable Democrat Polk will be well represented on the committee for another' two years by one of her favorite sons, Hon. W. C Bunn, and the selection could not be improved upon. A LECTURE COURSE. It will be a Good One, and ihp Price Within the Reach of All. A good lecture course is of great, value to a community, arid wherever tried it- usually becomes a permanent feature. Cedartown will have one this fall and winter—that is, she will if a'suffi cient number of our people subscribe season tickets to warrant engaging the talent for the course. Miss S. Gordon Williams, of At lanta, has been in the city this week representing the ' Alkahest Lyceum, which presents a fine array of lecture and concert attractions, which can be secured in combination at*very* low rates. A course of six to eight high class entertainments is offered, the number being determined by our ability to secure Governor “Bob” Taylor and General Gordon in the course, r The Chicago Glee Club, one of the finest musicial aggregations on the road, will be one of the attractions, and would by itself command at least 75 cents a ticket here, just as any of the other entertainments would cost any one from 50 cents to $1 to attend. Yet the ticket will cost only $2 for the six or eight entertainments! Who can afford to miss it. Of course, those who do not buy season tickets will have to pay the usual 50 cents to $1 for single enter tainments they may choose to attend. A large number have already sub scribed for season tickets, and those who have not should call on Mr; J. W. Barr, president of the local lyceum ; Mr. R. O. Pitts, treasurer; or Mr. E. B. Russell, secretary. In order to secure the course, it will be necessary to have the entire amount subscribed in advance, so ail who are interested should . come forward promptly and help the good work along. As will be seen, this low.price for season tickets means that you will get these fine entertainments for about 25 cents a piece by buying season tickets. The attractions will be selected from the following: “Bob” Taylor, Gen. Gordon, Chicago Glee Club; J. DeWitt Miller, Ralph Bingham, tire versatile entertainer; Mrs. Emma Moffett Tyng with her illustrated stereopticon lecture on travels; Edwin L. Barker, monologuist; Alton Pack ard, cartoonist: Hon. Luther Manship, humorist lecturer, and others. Mrs. Tyng’s stereopticon views arc secured from abroad and are exceptionally fine. The lecture course is a good tiling- help it along! AGAIN IN BLAST. THE CHEROKEE BLEW IN AGAIN MONDAY. President Zimmerman a Visitor Here Over Sunday. The damage caused by the recent explosion at the furnace has all been repaired, some exceedingly quick work being done'to accomplish this in so short a time. The furnace went into blast again Monday morning, everything start ing off nicely, and has been making two runs a day. ever since, turning out iron of tlie very finest quality— just such as that on which the old Cherokee won her wide and enviable reputation. Mr. Eugene Zimmerman, the pop ular president of the Alabama and Georgia Iron Company, has been spending the summer at Naragansett Pier, but was a welcome visitor here, over Sunday, remaining to see that everything started off right Monday morning. It will be good news to our people that Mr. N. H. Swayne.the esteemed vice president and general manager of the company, is now steadily im proving in health, and his early and complete recovery from his severe illness may be confidently expected'. A. MILITARY, COMPANY. Movement Now on Fort, to Organize a Fine Company Here. Born—To Mrs. D. C. Randall Hamlet last week—a fine girl. Mr. John B.

Elberton covered herself with glory in caring for the Weekly Press Asso ciation at its meeting there last week, and is the toast of Georgia quill-drivers. After leaving Elberton the editorial excursionists visited Toccoa and Tallu lah Falls, and then went to Charles ton, S. C-, where they have been taking their “annual bath” at the Isle of Palms.. Besides honoring Mr: W. S. Coleman by aga-’n re-electing him as President, the Association made him a present of a purse of $50 as a token of their ap preciation of his services. The Charles ton News and Courier says of him: “Mr. Walter Seott Coleman, who has served as president for the past eight years is enthusiastic over, the trip here. He is held in great esteem by the mem bers of the Association,and his services are of snch value as to elect him presi dent for the eighth consecutive time. Mr. Coleman is one of the editors of The Cedartown Standabd, a bright weekly sheet. Ho is also State oil in spector for'Cedartown and Rome. A very gratifying thing to him, as well as an unexpected one, was the gift of a large purse from the members of the Association,” RUNNING DAY AND.NIGHT. The New Standard Mills Put oil Night Force. The .Standard Cotton Mills have nearly all their machinery installed, and cotton is now being pat through at a lively rate, the product being a fine qnality of hosiery yarn. Messrs. Birkbeck and Parker, the enterpising managers of the mill, have pnt on a night as well as a day force, starting last Monday night;the demand for the Standard product necessitate this doubling rip. The Standard Mills already employ afeotit 150 hands, making a more than welcome addition to Cedartown’s in- dneirial pay-roll. J. t . The announcement of Mr. IV. A. Calhoun, a clever farmer of Posco, ap pears in this issue as a candidate for Tax Collector. He was crippled about fifteen years ago by a fall from a tree, wliieji lias made hard labor a physical impossibility for him. He is honest and worthy, and will get a large vote. A Narrow Escape.

While all would hope that its useful ness might be confined to parade and holiday affairs, yet there is no telling when its services might be required to qnell some serions'distnrbance. Snch, at least, has been the experience of many of onr sister cities. A number of onr young men are tak ing an active interest in the . formation of a company, and Col. J. C. Walker recently wrote to Col. Phil G. Byrd,the popular Acting Adjutant General,in re ference to the matter, receiving the following reply:— Atlanta, Ga., July 17, 1900. Mr. J. O. Walker, Cedartown, Ga. Sir:—Replying to yonrs of the 10th inst., . I have the honor to inform yon that, under the law, there is now not a vacancy in the infantry arm of the Georgia State Troops. I regret this very mnch, in one sense of the word, for I have long desired to see a com pany imbned with the life and energy enjoyed by every individual and organ ization which becomes an integral part of Georgia’s “Iron City.” In reply to questions asked, I make the following statement:—First, Geor gia, nader Goy. Candler’s administra tion, supplies her State Troops with • Forty new uniforms to a company. The State also, for the first time, under Governor Candler’s adihinstration al lows each company organization for armory rent and other company ex penses the sum of $150 per annnm. Second, the minimum number of en listed men was,by act of the last Legis lature, increased from Thirty-two to Forty, making the company organiza tion very mnoh stronger than ever be fore in the history of the State. While I see no prospect now of a va cancy which will enable a company at Cedartown to secure admission into the State service, I would at the same time advise you, if ^ on think it best to make application for admission, filing in this department yonr petition signed by not less than forty men giving their ages opposite their name.
