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.
