timates the cotton crop of Georgia
this year at 958,000, a reduction of
about 20 per cent from the average of
the past five years.
Mr. Jas. S. King, one of Polk’s-best
farmers, announces himself a candi
date for County Commissioner. He is
a gentleman of education and progres

Polk county should have a large and
very enthusiastic Bryan and Stevenson
Club. We are glad to say Col. J. K.
Barton is actively engaged in enrolling
such an organization, and has already
a large list of signers.
Farmers will do well to take the best
of care in gathering and housing their
cotton crop this year, and then bring
it to Cedartown. Opr mills will make
Cedartown the best market in the
South for high grade cotton.

many predict that it will be a winner.
There are some people who want to

-The Standard does not and will not

One hundred and fifteen of the one
hundred and thirty-seven counties in
b Georgia have sent in their tax returns
for the year. Ninety-four show an in
crease and twenty-one a decrease.
Only two counties thus far are ahead
of Polk in the size of the increase in
. returns. Chatham county’s increase
^is- $1,168,346; Tattnall’s, $616,714; and
Polk’s, $666,973. This is certainly a
fine showing for old Polk. The net
increase for the state of the counties
reported is $11,117,173, and our state
tax rate will doubtless he quite ma
terially reduced in consequence.

the association accepted the invitation
of the Polk county veterans to hold
their reunion next year in Cedartown
onjhe first Wednesday in August.
at they will be warmly welcomed
goes without saying, and that the
fu°i P !° P ' e ° £ Polk will give them
the best of good times here is another
well assured fact.
. T ! ,e / 0lk count y veterans who at
tended the reunion last week are
warm in their praises of the hospital
ity so generously extended and so
thoroughly enjoyed. But Polk will
try to equal or surpass it in 1901.
-k’ Bran ch, of Polk, who was
the fighting surgeon of the 1st Geor
gia, was honored by election as presi
dent of the association.
1 he gallant old 1st Georgia was or
ganized in this county by Col. John
C. Crabb, who was killed in July, 1S62,
at the first battle of Murfreesboro. He
was the father of our fellow-towns
men, Messrs. Jud and Jesse Crabb.
The late “Buck” Hutchings, the father
of Mr. John Hutchings, was 1st- Lieu
tenant. The following survivors of
the regiment are now residents of
Polk : J. L. Branch,Thos. W. Beasley,
John W. Crabb, Matthew Scott, T. A.
McCormick..!. M. and P. W. MoCnrry,
J. C. and A. H. York, Joe and Wm.
Morgan, “Red” Jarrell,Starling Lyons,
VV. T. Gibson, Coffee Williams, J. A.
Cambron, Frank Jones and Wm. Bar
nett. If any survivors now living in
the county have been omitted,they will
please notify Mr. Jud Crabb, who has
been, made an honorary member of
the veterans’ association on account of
his father’s leadership of the regiment.
Mr. X. N. Jones, of Rookmart, an hon
ored member of Co. A, passed away
since the last reunion.
There were about 150 members of
the 1st and 6th Georgia-present at the
reunion last week, and an especially
good attendance is expected here next
year. Secretary J. A. Wynn, of the
1st Ga., was a “whole team” in looking
after the pleasure of the veterans in
Rome, and Hon. John W. Maddox,who
is as proud of having been a private
in the 6th Ga. as of now being a mem
ber of Congress, made one of his char
acteristically line addresses of wel
come. The inimitable “Jake” Moore
made a splendid Master of Ceremonies.
Polk is glad that one of her repre
sentative citizens, Hon. J. L. Branch,
has been elected president of the
veterans’ organization, and will give
the battle-scarred heroes the most cor
dial of greetings in Cedartown next
year.
.The building will be 26x110 feet, and
will include for a joint stairway the
present exterior stairway on the south
of the Stnbbs store. The front is to be
one of the handsomest on Main street.
The plans and specifications are being
prepared by Mr. Clias. Walter Smith,an
Atlanta architect of high repnte, who
was in the city Saturday.
The grading for the building is now
being done, and contracts will be let
just as soon as the plans are adopted.
Messrs. Davis, Sims and Sanders are
three of onr most progressive citizens,
and they have chosen a most suspicions
time for inaugurating such an enter
prise. They have already, rented both
-floors of their building in. advance of
its erection.
Every new business structure going
up should be an improvement over its
predecessor!, and these gentlemen will
d jubtlesa see to it that their building
is eclipsed by nothing in the city.
A BLAZE AT THE FURNACE.
A fire occurred at the furnace Tues
day afternoon, which did considerable
damage to the hoisting apparatus.
A oharge was being made, when the
flames from the escaping gas were
blown into the elevator Bhaft, setting
fire to the woodwork. An effort was
made to extinguish the fire with the ap
paratus at hand, bnt failing in this an
alarm was tnrned in. The Fire Depart
ment responded promptly, bnt the
pressure happened to be low from the
standpipe, which prevented very effec
tive work at first. This was soon reme
died, however, and the flames were ex
tinguished after a hard fight by onr
gallant firemen.
The furnace was promptly banked as
soon as the fire was diseovei ed, and as
quick as it was put ont the work of re
pair commenced, the furnace missing
only three runs—six bonrs apart—as a
result of the fire, and is again turning
ont high grade pig iron in fine shape.
Everybody is giad that the damage was
not as extensive as was at firstexpected.
A NEW FIRM.
A new firm, Messrs. J. H. Philpot &
Co., succeeds the old partnership of
Pitts & Bunn, the popular grocers who
have been doing bnsiness in the Main
street building next door to the post-
office.
The sale has been under negotiation
the past few days, bnt was not consum
mated until Monday. The members of
the retiring firm will wind up its affairs
and olose ont its accounts. They did a
splendid business,- bnt each will nOw
'go it alone” in some other line of work.
The new firm will continue bnsiness
at the old stand, the formal transfer
after taking stock occurring Monday
morning. The senior member, Mr. J.
H. Philpot,is a well known and popular
gentleman. He has been the efficient
and capable obief of police for this city
dnring the past three years, and no
officer ever performed his duties more
conscientiously or acceptably.
NEW CITY MARSHAL.
Mr. J. Hud Philpot, who has been
City ;Marshal for the past four years,
resigned that position Monday evening
before a called meeting of the City
Council. He desired to go into the
family grocery business, and accord
ingly laid down his olnb and uniform,
after making an especially fine record
i this important office.
Mr. J. M. Jolly was elected to fill the
vacancy for tho remainder of the year,
caused by Mr. Philpot’s resignation.
Mr. Jolly has served on many occasions
s an extra policeman, and has had con-
'derable experience as a peace officer,
fe accepts the position of City Marshal
_t the same salary paid his predecessor,
$50 per month, and his numerous
friends predict that he will prove a good
officer as chief of the police force.

SIMS TO BUILD AT ONCE

and J. K. Davis hot long, since bought
the Caldwell lot on west side of Main
street, just south of the store now oc-
enpied by Mr. J. S. Stnbbs. . It is one
of the most desirable bnsiness lots in
the city, and they will bnild on it at
MR. T. J. THOMPSON DEAD.
A Good Citizen Near Rockmart
Passes Away at a Ripe Old Age.
Mr. Thos. J. Thompson, one of Polk’s
oldest and best citizens, died at his
home near Rockmart Monday night,
and the remains were laid to rest.in the
Van Wert cemetery Wednesday morn
ing. -
He had been ill for several weeks,
having sustained a sunstroke, and this
with his advanced years made sure bis
death many dajs before the end came.
He would have been seventy-three
years old in December, and although
he received the very best nnrsing and
medical attention, his once strong con
stitution rapidly gave way to the stroke.
Thomas Jefferson Thompson wasborn
in Gwinnett county Dec. 1C, 1S27, and
removed to Polk in 1837 with his par
ents, Ephraim and Naomi Thompson,
locating near the scene of his death
abont three miles from Rockmart. In
1852 he was married to Miss Mary
Chandler, who survives him. Six chil
dren blessed their union, four of whom
are living—E. W. Thompson, of Cass-
ville, Mrs. Sam Hagan and Mrs. Walter
Taylor, of Rome, and Jos. A. Thomp
son, of Spring Valley, Ill.
Mr. Tom Thompson was a good
neighbor, a loyal friend and an honest
man. He was a splendid citizen, and
was to be found always on the. right
side of all public questions as he saw
them. The esteem in which he was
held by his neighbors and friends was
attested by the large crowd who met
to pay homage to his memory.
The funeral services were conducted
in the old Van Wert Methodist church,
of which he was long a member, by
Rev. O. L. Kelly, and the interment
was by the impressive rites of the
Masonic order. He was one of the
oldest members of Rockmart Lodge,
and Worshipful Master T. J. Morris
and brethren committed his remains
to the silent grave.
Mr. Thompson belonged to one of
the oldest, most prominent and influ
ential families in Polk county, and
was a brother to the late Col. Ivy F.
and Lucius Q. C. Thompson, two noble
and useful citizens. A large circle of
relatives and friends throughout the
county deeply sympathize with the
family that this sterling citizen and
aged landmark has been taken away.
in remitting for his subscription,
Mr. J. S. Wood writes from Center
Hill, Fla., “Keep The Standard
headed this way; I feel lost if I miss
a copy.”
Rev. T. W. Griffith, the loyal pastor
of the Lime Branch Baptist chnrch, is
conducting revival services at that
ohurch, and is assisted by Rev- J. D.
Winchester, pastor of the Second
Baptist church of Borne. The meeting
is largely attended, and is arousing
much religious-interest.
WILL BUILD LARGER.
The New Colton Warehouse to Have
Three Coutpartmeins.
Work is progressing rapidly on-the
new cotton warehouse of J. E. Good
& Co., now going up near the Main
street crossing of the East & West.
Messrs. J. E. Good and C. Av. Smith,
the enterprising projectors, have de
cided to add a third compartment to
the building, making its capacity
much larger. '
The warehouse will measure fully
up to all the standard requirements of
the insurance companies for. safe
warehousing, thus securing the lowest
possible rates.
Mr. J. V. Oppert is furnishing the
lumber for the big building;- Messrs.
Ed. Mann and Jim Tate have the con
tract for the brick work, and an At
lanta house for the roofing.
Messrs. Good and Smith have shown
commendable foresight in deciding to
build larger, as the increased capacity
is certain to be needed.
It. will be an interesting item of
news to their many friends here la
learn that Mr. John A. Johnson,who
formerly attended the Benedict Me
morial School, was happily married
yesterday to Miss Hattie Smith, ol
Taylorsville.
Mr. Luther Neese returned Satur
day from Birmingham to spend a
enupleof weeks at (he home of his
father. Squire' D. F. Neese, south of
town. This clever young man is
employed in Birmingham as a mem
ber of the North.Side Fire Depart
ment.
Mr. W. F. Freeman has sold his
slock of-goods to Mr. Ira Willing
ham, who is now doing business at
the old stand at the Main street
crossing of the E. &'W. road. Mr.
Willingham will increase his stock,
and push his trade energetically
in the grocery line. He is an excel
lent young man, and his many
friends wish him a successful busi
