The registration books will close 6 p. m., Wednesday, Sept. 12th, all who wish to vote in the state county election must register before that time. at and and Hon. O. B. Stevens, Georgia’s popu lar Commissioner of Agriculture, 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 sive spirit, and would make a first- class Commissioner. 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. And they tried to lynch a negro in Chicago last week for picking a lady’i .pocket 1 But this isn’t as bad as their actually killing innocent negroes at Pana, 111., last year just because they had gone there to wirk in the mines Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan -sas, died last Thursday. He was ; brilliant orator and writer, an erratic genius whose versatile tongue and pen were tipped with more or less venom ous satire, and has been one of the most picturesque figures in public life. Mr. W. S. Sbifiett, one of Polk’s most substantial citizens, announces himself as a candidate for Sheriff. Mr. John B. Hogg, one of the present clever Deputy Sheriffs, will be his Deputy, and Mr. J. E. Brooks, another popular gentleman, is on the ticket as , Jailer. The ticket is a strong one,and many predict that it will be a winner. There are some people who want to send an army to China and inaugurate a wholesale slaughter of natives be cause the Chinese have killed or mis treated some of our people. This is too much like the spirit of the mob in New York city last week, which brut ally attacked every negro in sight be cause a colored man killed a policeman Maj. W. R. Beck announces his can didacy for County Commissioner. He has in the past served Byears as chair man of the board,making an especially efficient Commissioner. He is a prom- inent citizen, an old Confederate veteran, and has a host of friends who would be glad to see him again a member of the board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues. -The Standard does not and will not have a candidate for any county office, and hence can afford to advocate white primaries or any other measure we be lieve to be for the benefit of the peo ple. Our rates for announcements are $5 each, and 6 cents a line for any mat ter in the interest of any candidate— for which, of course, we will take no responsibility. We can guarantee fair " treatment to those who treat us fairly 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. I Caleb Powers, ex-Secretary of State 1 of Kentucky, has been found guilty of conspiring to murder Gov. Goebel, and has been sentenced to life imprison- . ment. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty in forty-five minutes Friday afternoon. The fatal shot'was fired from Powers’ office window, and the evidence was very strong against him. Taylor, the “rump” Governor, is doubtleis acting wisely to remain under the protecting care of Governor VMount of Indiana. Wesincerely hope that every one of the murderous con i' spirators will be brought to justice. No, the W’hite Primary was not held on the 16th, and everybody knows who is responsible -for its defeat. The StanBabd is proud of its firm and open advocacy of the measure, and*we are I; glad to see that only two or three men | seem to care to glory in the doubtful “honor” of encompassing the defeat | this genuine reform movement. iThe-white primary has come to stay in W j" eorgia, and two years from now some ' -ipf the fellows who were instrumental t,in knocking it out this year will i praying that the people of Polk may. I forget their attitude in 1900. In the I meantime, they have fooled very few \ people, even the negroes having sized \up their motives exactly.

And that is that 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. ANOTHER NEW BUILDING MESSRS. SANDERS, DAVIS AND SIMS TO BUILD AT ONCE A Handsome New Two -Story SI rue- lure on Main Street. Main street is to have another hand some addition to her nice array of busi ness houses, and is to have it “right away quick.” Dr. B.F. Sims and Cols.j. H. Sanders and J. K.

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.
