A BANNER COUNTY.
POLK'S TAX RETURNS INCREASE
HALF A MILLION.
Every District in the County But
One Shows Increase.
Old Polk is the banner county of
Georgia in her rare combination of
varied natural resources. Where is
there another county in the State that
can show such an array of agricultural
and mineral wealth, with abundant
water power for manufacturing pur
poses?
Sbe’s “little—but, ob, my 1”
Polk is one of the smallest counties
in the State when it comes to area, but
is big—very big—in every other re.
spect.
The latest evidence of this—and
where could you find a better?—is in
the fact that Polk’s state and county
tax returns for 1900 show an increase
of $555,973 over those of last year.
This is in large measure a direct re
sult of the location of cotton factories
in the county and the resumption of
furnaces and mines. Every district in
the county but Buncombe shows an
increase over last year,and the figures
by districts make interesting reading

The city of Cedartown last year re
turned $393,785 worth of taxable prop,
erty, and this year $555,973—by a curi.
ous coincidence exactly the amount of
gain for the year in the county—show
ing a gain for the city of $162,1S8,
which is also something for Cedartown
to feel good over.
Messrs. M. E. McCormick and E. C.
Kingsbery, our capable tax receivers,
have completed their consolidation of
the returns for the county and for
warded them to the State authorities,
where the increase has been the sub.
ject of much favorable comment.
From present prospects we can con
fidently predict another big increase
in old Polk’s tax returns for next
year. May the good work go on
throughout each and every section of
the county!

To be Built in Cedartown
At Once.
THE JOSEPHINE MILLS
WILL BE A SPLENDID ADDITION
TO CEDARTOWN INDUSTRIES.
Application for Charter has been
Tlade, and Work on Plant Will
be Rapidly Pushed.
Cedartown is to have another mag-
nificentaddition toiler industrial en
terprises.
And it represents one of the largest
single investments ever made in this
section.
Hon. Daniel Baugh, the honored
president of the Cedartown -Company
and the Cedartown Cotton Company,
and his wife have been spending some
time here as the guests of their son,
Mr. Paul Baugh, returning Monday to
their home in Philadelphia. Mr.
Baugh came for_the purpose of making
investments especially for his son, Mr.
Paul Baugh, a popular young gentle
man who has made a host of friends
during his short residence here.
After thoroughly investigating the
situation, Mr. Baugh decided that the
best possible outlook is in the line of
cotton manufacturing, and that a
$100,000 mill combining both the man
ufacture of yarn and its transforma
tion into fine underwear, would be a
good paying investment.
Mr. Baugh is a prominent capitalist,
and when he decides that an invest
ment will pay, that settles the matter
and he makes it forthwith.
As a result of Mr. Baugh’s visit, Ce
dartown will have this splendid new
plant, which will add so largely to our
growth and prosperity. He is always
a welcome visitor, but this visit is
especially appreciated by our people.
Mr. Baugh has been very fortunate
in enlisting with him in this enter
prise Messrs. Geo. H. and Louis D.
AVade, of the Wahneta Knitting Mill.
The AVahneta lias proved such a suc
cess that it has been found necessary
to twice double its capacity, making it
one of the best knitting mills in the
South. They will retain their connec
tion with the AVahneta, but will devote
much of their time and attention to
the knitting department of the new
mills. They are thoroughly capable as
well as deservedly popular gentlemen,
and their practical knowledge of the
business will be of great value to the
new enterprise.
THE'JOSEPHINE MILLS.
An application for charter for this
new $100,000 enterprise appears on our
first page.- The Josephine Mills will
be the style of the institution, and its
incorporators are Messrs. Daniel
Baugh and Edwin P. Baugh, Jr., of
Philadelpha, and Messrs. Geo. H.
AVade, Paul D. Baugh and Louis D.
AVade, of Cedartown.
The plans are not yet fully de
termined for the mills, but $100,000 in
cotton mill machinery will necessitate
a very large building.
The new plant will be located right
across the Big Spring branch from the
AVahneta Mills,making it an especially
desirable location—one of the finest,
in fact, that the city affords.
Col. C. P. Ball,of the East and AVest,
was in the city yesterday to make ar
rangements for extending the side
track to the site of the new mills.
Plans will be perfected and material
ordered at once, and the plant will be
rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
Ail of which means great things for
Cedartown—whereof we are exceed
ing glad 1
It means additional work for our
mechanics in building the mill.
It means a very large increase in our
wage-earning population, and a good
percentage of it will be skilled labor.
It means increased business for our
merchants and professional men.
It means the building of more
houses, for there is not a vacant house
in Cedartown, and the present demand
is constant and increasing.
It means a larger and better market
for our farmers for'their produce, and
that they will find in Cedartown a
better market than ever for their cot
ton. If any one fact has been clearly
demonstrated here, it is that cotton
factories make the best sort of a local
market for cotton, enabling the farm
ers of this vicinity to realize much
more for their crop than those in less
favored sections.
It means that Cedartown thus takes
another long onward and upward
stride in the march of industrial pro
gress. She has been taking a.number
of them lately, but none that mean
more than this for her future develop-

It means, too, that Cedartown is
under renewed obligations to Mr>

here. Our growing city has already
profited greatly from his enterj, r j se
and foresight in investing capital
largely here, and we that his
previous investments have been suffi
ciently profitable to ^induce him to
come again.” Thigr'enterprise is in

Bev. T. B. McCarty, the beloved
pastor, is playing the part of host most
acceptably, and the committee to pro

J. B. Barber and J. W. Barr—have done
their work well. A large nnmber—
nearly two-thirda—who were expected
have failed to come, so that many fami

The meeting Tuesday afternoon was
devoted to hearing reports from the
various preachers, all of which showed
the canse of Methodism to be in a

district. Bev. W. B. Branham, of
Cartersville, preached an excellent ser

Yesterday morning at 8.30 o’clock an
interesting service was conducted by
Bev. C. C. Davis, and at 11 o’clock Bev.
C. E. Dowman, the distinguished presi

LEGS CUT OFF./
WELDON HAWKINS, A POPULAR
BRAKEMAN,
Lost Both Legs Thursday at ihe
C. R. & S. Station.
Just as The Standard went to press
last Thursday morning a distressing
accident occurred at the O. B. & S. sta
tion, of whiohit was possible at the
time to make only the briefest mention.
Mr. Weldon Hawkins, one of onr
cleverest young men and one of the
moat popular employees of the O. E. &
S. , was engaged in braking on the
northbound local, which was being
made up in the yards. Conductor Tal
iaferro was in oharge of the train, and
Mr. Lucian Yance was on the engine as
hostler. Yonng Hawkins had jnst set a
switch, and in attempting to step on the
pilot of the approaching engine made a
misstep and fell in front of the wheels.
He was dragged for several feet, and his
legs were ent off abont midway between
the knees and ankles.
In spite of the terrible nature of the
accident, Hawkins retained presence of
mind enongh to throw himself dear of
the track by a supreme effort before the
drive-wheels canght him.
Medical assistance was promptly sum
moned and the victim was soon in a
condition to be moved to the nearby
home of his father, Mr. Hal Hawkins,
one of the most popnlar condnctors on
the C. B. & S. Mr. Hawkins was in
Borne at the time of the accident, bnt
on-receipt of a telegram announcing his
son’s accident, came through with the
road’s surgeon, Dr. T. B. Garlington,
on a special engine, making the run in
phenomenally short time.
The limbs were amputated by Drs.
T. B. Garlington, J. A. Liddell, W. G.
England, C. Yan Wood and H, M. Hall,
and the patient is doing as well as conld
possibly be expected with snob an
injury.
The many friends of this clever yonng
man and his family sympathize with
them in this great affliction, and earn
estly hope for his ultimate recovery.
It was found impossible last week to
secure a sufficient number of season
subscribers to engage tbe lecture
course proposed by Miss S. Gordon
AViliiams, of Atlanta, bnt efforts are
now being made to arrange for a
shorter course, with either Governor
“Bob” Taylor or Gen. John B. Gordon
a good concert company, and two or
three other entertainments. A good
lecture course is a fine thing for any
town, and Cedartown should certainly
have a good one this fall and winter.

Curry-Arrington Co., Rome, Ga.:
Dear Sirs:—Among the important and
unimportant events of a Cosmopolitan
on a tour of eight weeks,covering nearly
thirty states of this Union, eating all
sorts of grub and drinking all sorts of
water (no beer, wine or whiskey,) I find
that a bottle of Curry’s Diarrhoea and
Dysentery Specific is not only a good
companion “but a very present help in
every time of need.”
Yours truly, Sam P.‘Jonks.
It has cured thousands, and will
cure you. Only 25 cents for large
bottle.
