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 1809 1900 Cedartown 1,336,992 1,631,050 Lake Creek 38,389 40,489 Hampton’s 82,545 119,788 Esom Hill 67,536 74,417 Blooming Grove... 29,224 70,238 Young’s 112,467 127,314 Antioch 92,837 95,225 Fish Creek 34,783 37,411 Bockmart 402,584 565,762 Buncombe 104,568 104,439 Browning’s 19,025 19,830 Total return of Col ored for all Dist’s 62,384 - 71,323 Total return Wild Land 47,428 39,445 Total amt.

Total Polls 2,278 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!

AVith four cotton mills and two knit ting mills, Cedartown will certainly be “strictly in it!” An increase of half a million dollars in taxable values for one year is some thing for old Polk to be proud of. Tile annual meeting of the State Agricultural Society will be held at Dublin next AVednesday and Thursday. Senator Wellington (republican,) of Maryland, has declared war against imperialism and President McKinley’s re-election. “Sockless Jerry” Simpson was mobbed by a gang of negroes while making a speech at Fort-Scott, Kan last Thursday. A cotton mill which would use the lower grades of cotton would prove profitable here, and should be located in Cedartown in the near future. It is said that Aragon, the new mill town in the east end of the county, will show a population of about 1,200.

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- ODISTS WELCOME. THE ROME DISTRICT CONFER ENCE IN SESSION. It means, too, that Cedartown is under renewed obligations to Mr> Bangh for this additional investment 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 dependent of his other investments here, and caIJ4f or n o “bonus” from onr An Interesting Gathering of Meth odists from All Parts of the District. The Borne District Conference con vened at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, with Bev. J. F. Mixon, the honored presiding elder, in the chair. Prof. Olin King, of Rockmart, was elected secretary. - The train schedules made the gnests late in reaching here, so that the con ference could not open in the morning as intended. The delegates were late in arriving, bnt were none the less wel come for that—and Cedartown is their’s while they stay. Bev. T. B. McCarty, the beloved pastor, is playing the part of host most acceptably, and the committee to pro vide homes—Messrs. L. S. Ledbetter, 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 lies have been disappointed in the lack of opportunity for their hospitality. The ministers in attendance are: Dr, J. F. Mixon, Dr. J. H. Eakes, Bev. W. T. Hamby, Bev. A. M. Pierce, Bev. W. F. Colley and Bev. J. F. Davis, of Borne; Bevs. W. O. Fox and W. P.

Enhanks, Mr. H. B. Parks and Mr. J. B. Hill, of Borne, and Mr. A. J. Camp, of Dallas. The lay delegates from the Cedartown chnrch are Messrs. T. M. Pace and W. K. Fielder. 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 flourishing^ condition throughout the district. Bev. W. B. Branham, of Cartersville, preached an excellent ser mon in the evening. 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 dent of Emory College at Oxford, preached a powerful sermon. At 4 p. m. Bev. A. M. Pierce preached a good sermon, and last'night a grand educa tional rally was held at which interest ing addresses were made by Dr. J. W. Boberts, a former popular Cedartown pastor, now president of Wesleyan Fe male College at Macon; Bev. B. W. Bogers, of Beinhart College; Bev. O.' L. Kelley, of Piedmont Institute; Bev. J. H. Eakes, of Borne; and Bev. Bnfus Smith, of LaGrange. A large amonnt was subscribed for the cause of educa tion. At the bnsiness meeting yesterday the following gentlemen were eleoted dele gates to the Annual Conference: W. C. Connally, W. K. Fielder, H. B. Parks and O. King; alternates—M.B.Enbanks and A. J.

The Conference will probably adjonrn at noon today. Cedartown has enjoyed the sojonrn here of the visitors, and we are glad to say that the pleasure seems to have been mntnal. - 1 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.

The melons were delicious, and after they were disposed of" Mr. Knight asked to be excused to see about the carriages, and asked that a box of souvenirs be distributed among the ladies during his absence. The souvenirs turned out to be taek- hainmers and hails, with which the party could “take a drive” if they desired. The “.-ell” was complete, and created much merriment among the jolly crowd.

The negro murderer was finally found and killed, bnt shot two more officers and wounded several citizens before his desperate career was' brought to an end.
