Official Orgran of Folk County. Official Organ of the City of Cednrtov T ORSDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 19C0. 9. D. M, and H. N. Sheffield, our efficient board of County Commissioners, met special session Monday to fix the tax rate for the current year. And one of the best protfs of their efficiency is seen in the rate which they have fixed—$1 per $1000 for county taxation. This is a reduction of $1.80 per $1000 from last year, and is made possible by the increase of over half a million dollars in our taxable values—the third largest increase of any county in the state,—by the steady reduction of the past few years in our court ex penses,and by economical management on the part of the Commissioners. The state tax rate has also been' re duced from $5.36 to $5.20, so that Polk’s combined state and county tax for tbis year will be only $9.20. This total re duction of $1.46 on each $1000 worth of property is certainly appreciated by our tax-payers. FOB THE UNIVERSITY. Col. D. B. Hamilton, of Borne, who is the father of one of Polk’s promi nent citizens, Mr. Aleck Hamilton of Etna, is an enthusiastic friend of the State University in Athens. He has been one of its trustees for fifteen years, and is now the Seventh District member of State Committee, which is working for the Alumni Endowment Fund of $100;000. Colonel Hamilton talks for the Uni versity wherever he goes, and is organ- -izirigafi^iUcStudents and friends of that institutionTn every county in the Seventh District. The movement is for the erection and endowment of a dormitory on the University grounds for the purpose of educating the poor young men of Georgia, who are now unable to meet the ordinary expenses of a college course.

Following the address of Judge Maddox,the organization of the Bryan and Stevenson Club will he perfected. Col. J. K.' Barton has secured a large number of members for this organiza tion, and his work is appreciated by Democrats. Both the National and State Executive Committees urge the organization of these clubs every- where, and old Polk should have one of the largest and best clubs in the state. HON. DANIEL BAUGH Is Down from Philadelphia to Or ganize the Josephine Mills. Hon. Daniel Baugh, of Philadelphia, reached, thejcity Tuesday, and is busily en gaged concluding all preliminaries for the permanent organization of the Josephine Mills Company.

The Atlanta architect, Mr. C.Walter Smith, reached the city last night, and some minor changes were made in the original plans. In addition to what The Standard said of this big enter prise last week, there is to be a large 60,000 gallon iron tank which will sup ply water not only for fire protection but for the bleachery and dye house.

The Mill of Justice Grinding Out Its Grist at Good Speed. Polk Superior Conrt opened Monday for its regular fall term, with Hon. G. Janes, onr popular presiding Jud on the bench. The congestion of business which fell to the portion of this judicial circuit on its creation has been steadily whittled down in a qniet, business-like way until now a very light calendar is dock eted for trial, and each term of conrt sees it growing beantifnlly less. The consequent rednction in conrt expenses has borne good fruit in helping materi ally to reduce the tax rate for the county, and Judge Janes certainly has the thanks oi appreciative tax-payers on this account. The state authorities haye not yet acted on Sheriff Crocker’s resignation, and that clever official was in his accns toned place—where the people would be glad to see him stay for the re mainder of his term. His popular Deputies, Messrs, T.C.Hagan and John B. Hogg, are looking well alter the du ties of their office. Judge YV. C. Knight, than whom there is no more efficient or popular Clerk in Georgia, is in his accustomed place, assisted by his clever Deputy, Mr. W. L. Knight. Hon. W. T. Roberts, a Solicitor Gen eral whom everybody likes and respects, could not reach here until - Monday noon, on account of illness in his fam ily, and in. his absence the jurors and bailiffs were sworn in by Col. J. H. Sanders. Col. Roberts has as his bailiff Mr.'Ed. Wright. Col. H.‘ M. Nicholes, onr efficient Court Stenographer, is taking down the evidence in his usual correct and speedy manner. Twenty-three of Polk’s good citizens are serving this term as grand jurors, as follows: .John T. Garner, John W, Judkins, BeDj. F. Hawkins, John W. Crabb, Sr., Jesse T. Bright, Chas.

Bright Prospects for Successful Year—Good C orps of Teachers. Our city public schools opened Mon day morning for the fall term of the new school year, and never before has the initial attendance been so large nor the prospects so encouraging. The first day saw 238 pupils en rolled—a large increase over any pre vious year, and the enrollment has steadily increased during the week. Some of llie rooms are filled to their (JillS i n the State, aild Will gill utmost capacity, and the indications ° are that every grade will soon be in the same condition. Prof. H. L. Sewell, the esteemed and talented Superintendent of our excel lent public school system, has a fine corps of assistants in the teaching force. Prof. Sewell and Prof. L. G. Smith have the 9th, 10th and 11th grades, Miss Lenora Melson the 7th and 8th, Miss Willie Wood the 5th and 6th, Mrs. Mary Janes the 4th, Miss Stella Russell the 3d,Miss Portia Bunn the 2nd, and Miss Della Russell the 1st. These are all competent and ex perienced teachers, and will continue to keep the Cedartown public schools in the front rank of such institutions in.Georgia. It is Cedartown’s pride that there are no betted public schools in I he state, and the patrons are glad to know that its past high standard will be fully maintained. The Board of Education has had the school building thoroughly renovated during the summer vacation, and it is now in good condition. The same is true of the colored school building, where Prof. L. E. Hall, the efficient principal, opened Monday with twen ty-one pupils. Our citizens should give the city public schools—the property of the people—their solid support. The high standing of the Cedartown schools is recognized throughout the state, and the present large attendance shows two things most satisfactorily—first, that Cedartown is growing; aud, sec ond, that our people are appreciating the advantages offered by our excel lent public school system.
