THE CEDARTOWN STANDARD
-rr^rTo^an of Polk County.
o1«u of the City of Cedartown
THURSDAY. AUGUST 30, <900.
This is “Tobasoo sauce” weather—in
other words, it is the “hot stuff.”
There is not a more thoroughly
.‘live town” in Georgia than Cedar
town. .
The amount of the appropriations
of the last session of Congress is $710,-
150.862.88. [ [
Next Monday has been designated
by Governor Candler as Labor Gay, a
legal holiday.
Keep your eyes on Cedartown. And
if you have any surplus cash, put it ib
“dirt” or buildings in Cedartown.
Election tickets this year must be
paid for in advance, and candidates
will take due notice that tickets will
not be delivered until paid for.
They had another prize fight in New
York last Thursday night, and ex-
Champion“Bob” Fitzsimmons knocked
out big Tom Sharkey in two rounds.
Governor Pingree, of Michigan,says
he will probably vote for McKinley
just because he is the republican nom
inee, but will have to hold his nose to
do so. _____
Mr. T. H. Adams, one of our clever
est citizens, announces his candidacy
for Commissioner of Roads and Keve-
nues. He is a popular and progressive
gentleman, and will run a very strong
race.
The state tax rate has been reduced
from $5.36 to $5.20 on the $1,000, and
Governor Candler last Saturday issued
an order so fixing the rate. This is
certainly a most gratifying show for
the grand old Empire State of the
South.
Mr. W. W. Cone, one of Polk’s best
' citizens, announces himself a candi
date for Sheriff. He served the county
acceptably several years ago in that
office, making an excellent record. He
will announce his Deputies in the near
future.
Sam Robinson, the negro assailant
of Mrs. Inzer in Cobb county, is to be
banged Saturday in Marietta, his exe
cution to be in private. It is said,
however, that it may take a strong
■guard of soldiers to prevent a public
lynching of the brute.
Mr. Geo. W. Peek, of Antioch, an
nounces himself a candidate for
County Treasurer, with Mr. Jas. Mor
ris, of Buncombe, as his assistant.
Both are good men and old Confeder
ate veterans, and Mr. Peek held the
Treasurer’s office several years ago.
• ..—Mr. tv. S. Sbiflett has added to his
ticket for Sheriff as Deputy the name
of Mr. Dave Heslep,one of Rockmart’s
most popular citizens. Mr. Heslep
was Marshal of Rockmart for two
years, and made an excellent officer.
Mr. Shiflett has greatly strengthened
his ticket by this addition.
If there is not an ordinance against
hitching to shade trees, there should
be one; and if there is one, it should
be enforced. Some of our prettiest
shade trees are being girdled by horses
hitched to them, and our streets are
too poorly supplied with trees of this
sort to permit the practice to continue.
Mr. O. R. Simerville, of Rockmart,
is one of Polk’s best and most highly
respected citizens, and lie ha's yielded
to the request of good citizens from
the east end of the county to run for
County Commissioner. His neighbors
and friends have certainly shown good
judgment in getting him into the race,
as he would make a thoroughly level
headed Commissioner.
Capt. Frank Crenshaw, who was
wounded in the Philippines,died Tues
day in the hospital in Atlanta. He
was a son of Hon. T. O. Crenshaw
chairman of the State Railroad Com
mission, and was a gallant young of
ficer. His inhuman treatment or
board the transport “Sherman” while
en route for home should receive at
tention from the government.
The County Commissioners have had
posted in each militia districtthe num
bers of the lots of land unreturned for
taxes in each district the past ten
years. This is done in order that
property-owners may investigate and
compare lists, and see if they have
given in any of their lands under the
wrong number. This is important, as
the unclaimed lots in each district will
be advertised in October as wild lands
for the January sales.
The populists recently nominated
Bryan and Towne as their national
•.ticket, but Hon. Chas. A. Towne, their
candidate for Vice President, resigned
from the ticket and announced his de
termination to support the Bryan
and Stevenson ticket. The popu-
-- list national committee in session
Tuesday in Chicago accordingly ac
cepted Mr. Towne’s resignation, and
substituted for his nhme on the ticket
that of Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, mak
ing their ticket identical with that of
the Democrats.
-- The-Southern press has been treat
ing the recent race troubles" in the
North exactly right by giving them
the same prominence that the rabid
Northern papers have given to such
occurrences in the South. The whole
South,with all her perplexing troubles
on the race question, has never fur
nished anything equal to the Akron,
O., horror of last week. And, by
way, the race riots in New York L--.
have continued during the past' week,
the sight of a negro on the street
some quarters of the city being suffi
cient to call together an angry mob.
w °hk has begun
on the xew Josephine cot-
ton factory.
The Sidetrack Completed to the Site,
the Work Begun and Material
Will Now Be Rapidly
Delivered.
Less than thirty days ago the first
move was made in the location of the
fourth big cotton factory and the second
knitting mill in the list of Cedartown’s
industries.
No sooner than the announcement
was made that such a plant would be
bnil$ here than the forces of construc
tion were set in motion, and already
enough has been accomplished to speak
definitely of the enterprise.
WORK AND SIATEBIALS.
The E. & W. sidetrack has been com
pleted to the beantiful site at the junc
tion - of Cedar Creek and Big Spriu
branch, and several tons, of sand have
already been delivered on the grounds.
The orders for the brick and lumber
have been placed, and everything will
be rushed to completion. The lime,
cement and rock for building purposes
are soon to arrive, and every kind of
materials need in the construction of
the big plant have been ordered with a
'rush” tag attached. Saeh, doors and
roofing are scheduled for arrival as
needed, and an army of mechanics and
masons, and laborers of every kind,
will swarm about this real, live enter
prise like the proverbial “hives of in
dustry.”
THE BUILDINGS.
The main building is to be an im
mense affair, about three hundred and
twenty feet long and abont seventy-five
wide. In this bnilding will be stored
the bulk of spinning and knitting ma
chinery.
A large power honse will be separately
constructed, in which the big engine,
boilers, dynamo and pumps will he
placed, and in this annex the heating
and lighting for the plant will be gen
erated.
The bleaehery and dye honse will
be of considerable size, and will con
tain an apparatus and appliances for
bleaohing and dyeing the products of
the mill.
An elegant office bnilding, also sepa
rate from the factory, will be con
structed.
Abont forty cottages for the mill
operatives will be built, and the aggre
gation of bnildings at this plant will
form qmte a colony in the expansion of
Greater Cedartown.
Last week Messrs. Paul Bangh, G. H.
Wade and J. fl. Hines were in confer
ence with Hon. Daniel Baugh in Phila
delphia, where they met the represents
tiyes of mill machinery manufacturers,
and contraots for the very latest models
and up-to-date machinery for the manu
facture of cotton goo Is were practically
closed. These gentlemen have returned
to Cedartown, and while they are talk
ing very little either in private or for
publication, they are doing a lot of
work in closing up eontraots for ma
terial and labor, and olearing up all the
preliminaries for the heavier work to
follow.
Hon. Daniel Baugh is expeoted down
next week from Philadelphia, and just
as soon as Judge Janes grants the char
ter incorporating the company, the-
stockholders will meet, formally organ
ize and seleot .executive officers.
In the meantime, the promoters of
this enterprise are saying little, hut are
yery energetio in consummating their
plans and pushing along the work of
construction.
An old criminal was once asked
what was the first step that led to his
ruin,when he answered: “The first
was cheating an editor out of two
years’ subscription. When I had done
that, the devil had such a grip on me
that I could not shake him off.”
The regular fall term of Polk Supe
rior Court will convene next Monday
morning, September 3d. There are
eight prisoners in jail awaiting the
court,and the civil docket shows forty-
nine new cases filed for the appearance
term. The calendar as set and pub
lished shows that the heavy docket,
which had accumulated for years in
Polk, is now whittled down by Judge
Janes so that litigation in this county
is not such a paying thing for lawyers
as was formerly the case.
Mr. E. J. Deupree, a clever gentle
man who moved from Cedartown to
Texas in 1895,has moved from Crockett
to Oakhurst, but is still in the employ
of the big Columbia Lumber Co. Mr.
Deupree writes The Standaiu.: “It
is with pleasure that I note the steady
growth of Cedartown and grand old
Polk county. With the natural re
sources of the country in and arouud
Cedartown, and the splendid array of
business men at the helm, it is no
wonder that the town if growing into
a city and the country one vast scene
of enterprise. It was with genuine re
gret I noted tlie failure of the pro
posed white man’s primary in Polk. 1
send best wishes for yourselves and
regards to my friends generally.”
The republican organization in Geor
gia lias indicated directly that the
populist nominees Jor^.Governor and
State House Oni'cer? cannot get their
indorsement. While this is undoubt
edly a disappointment to the pops as
well as a staggering blow between the
eyes, it is immaterial so far as the final
outcome is concerned. “The report
that the republican organization is
pledged to the populjsts,” said Chair
man Walter Johnson, of the State
Central Committee, Saturday,
wholly withistfiffoundation, and I wish
that it b'e corrected. It is true the
Centra”! Committee decided not to
aSi ticket in the field, but “’-hen it
mes to voting for a Governor and
tate and county officers, the republi
of v Georgia have been ljffto their
i' i s crVit ion.” —Const it>
IFF CROCKER RESIGNS.
Sheriff W. T. Crocker has tendered
his resignation of that office, and has
moved to his farm west of town.
Mr. Crocker is serving his second
term as Sheriff, and has made an ex
cellent officer. He is one of the clever
est men in the county, and retires from
the office with no enemies and a host of
well-wishers.
The resignation has not yet been ac
cepted,but the vacancy will be filled by
appointment in accordance with law.
In the meantime Mr. Geo. J. Weaver,
one of our clever and efficient bailiffs,
is in charge of the jail under direction
of onr County Commissioners.
Postmaster J. J. Hamilton. * f
Rome, was in the city Monday en
route to Etnn to visit his brother,
Mr.Aleck Hamilton.
Mr. J. M. Jolley, our efficient
City Marshal, captured a full-grown
“blind tiger” last night. The
liquor-venders were two young ne
groes, Jim McWilliams and Jim
Pills, who are now in jail awaiting a
hearing.
Miss Della Harris gave a delight
ful party last evening in honor ol
her popular guests, Misses A'lie
Trippe and Frankie Johnson of At
lanta,and Miss Daisy Campof Rome.
Delicious refreshments were greatly
enjoyed, and the entire evening was
spent most pleasurably.
Dr. and Mrs C. Van Wood gave a
delightful parly last eveuing in
honor of Misses Louise Houseai, Lu
cite Hightower, Jennie Huntington
and Myrtice Wright, to which a large
number of young people were invi
ted. ' The dainty refreshments were
served at the close of a most pleasant
evening.
Work begins today on the new
residence of Mr. G H. Wade, on the
corner of Wissahickon avenue and
Walnut street. Mr. Geo. Whitfield
has the contract for masonry,and Mr.
T. J. Griffin for the carpenter work.
The house will he built of stone and
stucco work, and wall be one of the
handsomest residences in the city.
CEDARTOWN’S FIRST BALE,
Mr. John.J. Green Takes First Prize
lor 1900.
The first cotton bale for the 1900
season came to town Monday, the27th,
and was marketed by Mr. John J.
Green, one of the Cedar Valley’s pros
perous farmers.
It weighed 460 pounds, and brought
9J£cents.
Mr. J. S. Stubbs bought the bale for
the Standard Cotton Mills, and that
enterprising industry is to be con
gratulated on capturing the first pro
duct of Polk’s cotton for the new sea
son.
The cotton was picked by-thirty-two
hands from the fields on Monday
morning, ginned by the W. W. Cone
ginnery, and sold on the streets of Ce
dartown by four o’clock.
Last year there was an exciting con
test between Mr. Mark Cornelius and
Mr. Green, each bringing to town on
Monday, Aug. 21st, a new bale, but Mr.
Cornelius lauded his bale about one
hour ahead of Mr. Green.
Last year the first bale brought only
6^4 cents, which was rather a poor
opening for the season.
The bale sold Monday was classed
as “low middling,” or about a No. 8 in
grade, and the price of 9% cents was
very satisfactory. A good grade of
ordinary middling would have brought
10 cents, and the improvement this
year over’99 prices is certainly grati
fying to our farmers and business
men generally.
Cedartown is firmly establishing
her credit as one of the best cotton
markets in Georgia, and the presence
of our numerous cotton factories here
will maintain the excellent and well-
deserved reputation our buyers have
for paying the highest market price to
be obtained for cotton in the state.
As has been her custom for some
lime; Mrs. C. G. Janes came with
her husband, Judge Janes, on his
judicial visit to Dougiasville, and
will remain with him until court has
been brought to a close. Mrs. Janes
has superior gifts and attainments
that make her a charming member
of any social circle.—Dougiasville
New South.
The many Cedartown friends of
Mr. W. S. Campbell, of Carrollton,
congratulate him on his marriage
last Sunday with Miss Nellie B.
Kirkley, .an accomplished young
lady of that city, the ceremony be
ing performed by Rev. J. R. Mc-
Glesky. “Bill” used to live in Ce
dartown, and has a host of friends
who congratulate him most heartily.
Mr. J. R. Barber has opened a real
estate and insurance agency in the
Richardson block in the office at
present occupied by Dr. W. A. Chap
man, who will move to .the Harris
building on its completion. Mr.
B.irber will make a specially of
mineral lands, with which lie has
had such an intimate acquaintance
through his long connection with
the furnace.

A large parly of young people en
joyed a delightful barbecue Tuesday
evening at Ake’s Grove, about fifty
being^in attendance. The meals
were barbecued by Mr. J. T. Gar
rard, a prince of barbecue artists,
and were delicious. The party had
a jolly good time at this beautiful
grove, and then spent the balance of
the evening very pleasantly at the
parlors of the Cherokee Club.
A Night of Terror.
Awful anxiety was felt for the widow
of the brave General Bnrnham, of Ma-
chias, Me., when the doctors said she
could not live till morning,” writes Mrs.
S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that
fearful night. “All thought she mast
soon die from pneumonia, but she
begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery,
saying it had more than once saved her
life, and had cured her of consumption.
After three small doses she slept easily
all night, and its furthernse completely
cured her.” This marvelous medicine
is guaranteed to enre all throat, chest
and lnng diseases. Only 50o and $1.

The state will watch with considera

The white people have failed to decide
the legislative race in primary, and
the result is that the negroes will hold
the balance of power in October. The
position is pitiable, but-it is one which
may be expected whenever a departure
