HON. IiOKB SMITH
DELIVERED AN INTERESTING
A 1>I)K I0SN H13It 1$
At the Court House on Thursday
Morning, Principally to
Fanners,
lion, Hoke Smith, who was Presi
dent Cleveland’s Secretary of the Inte
rior, addressed a large crowd at the
Court House Inst Thursday morning,
and his speech was highly appreciated
by all who heard him. tie was intro-
ductal in complimentary terms by Col,
U. \\\ Everett.
Mr. .Smith is a distinguished law
yer, but bis address was principally to
farmers about farming, and lie held
the closest attention of his hearers.
Me is an earnest and pleasing speaker,
and our people were glad of the oppor
tunity to hear him.
While Mr. Smith is not an announced
candidate, there is a general, impres
sion that he is an aspirant for some
high olllce. lie is making 'a large
number of speeches throughout the
state, and it is a matter of regret to
many who heard him that for s^pme
reason he did not embody in bis ad
dress the argument which he has made
in other counties in favor.of the white
primary. It Is hoped that >lr. Smith
will some time have another oppor
tunity to express his Views on this
subject before a Polk county audience,
Mr. Slrtifcli has recently purchased
the Wm. M. West place south of town,
and has been elected president of the
new bank; at Roekmart, thus becom
ing identified with our county—a fact
for which the people of Polk county
are glad indeed, and they hope to have
an«opportunity of becoming better ac
quainted personally with this distin
guished Democrat.

Mr. J. E. Lilly,a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says: “I was taken
with Typhoid Fever, that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became hard
ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. One bottle gave great relief,
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong. I can’t say too much in its
praise.” This marvelous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.

the quality of the charcoal iron made in

The committee on resolution* r
ported the following, which was heart
ily approved:—
1. Tlio Democracy of Polk county, in
convention assembled, looks'with hope
and pride upon the drift of afiairs point
ing to tlio election ol that distinguished
Democrat and Incorruptible patriot,
H«»!». William J; Bryan, and his distin
guished associate, Hon. Adlai E,£}teven-
soh The infamous Porto Rican tariff
1)111, the sham pretepce of civil service
reform, the increase of our standing
army to one.hundred thousand men for
the purpose of subjugating those who
do not accept willingly the authority of
the United States, the grasping and
overpowering influence of the oppres
sive trusts, fostered and engendered by
the republican party, all point to the
Ultimate end of republicanism in this
country; and we, in common with the
Democrats ot this great country, call
upon all patriots, regardless of past
party affiliations, to rally to the stand
ard of the time-honored principles of
the Democratic party.
2. We take great pleasure in giving
our hearty endorsement to the services
of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress. Especially do we commend
our neighbors and friends, the Hons.
A. »S. Clay and John W. Maddox. They
have been true and faithful servants of
the people,,and deserve our hearty and
united support in their struggle against
the aggressions of the republican party
upon the rights and interests of the
people.
3. We esteem it a privilege to give
our hearty endorsement to the splendid
administration of that honest and dis
tinguished Democrat, Governor Allen
D. Candler, and the entire set of state
officers, who have so faithfully per
formed their duty as the representa
tives of the party in the state.
4. The Democracy of Polk county
heartily endorses the choice of the
county of Paulding of Hon. Wm. E.
The busy season should not prevent
our people from turning out next
Wednesday , to vote, in the state and
county election. Every man in Polk
should cast his ballot for Gov. Candler
and all the State House officers.
Voters should look well at their
tickets next Wednesday before depos
iting them in the box. The names of
nearly all the candidates arc printed
on most of the tickets, and you can
vote lor only one man lor each office.
The Cedartown Cottonseed Oil Mill
is not in the trust, and is, therefore,
the object of the trust’s hostility.
Every Polk county man should .stand
by this home factory, and see. that all
the cottonseed raised in the county is
sold to this mill, as It pays the highest
market price.
The voters of the 38th Senatorial
District should remember that Hon
W. E. Spinks, of Paulding, is a candi
date. lie is a good man, of splendid
character and admitted ability. Ills
record is without Haw, and he deserves
an overwhelming election. The dis
trict would be proud of its representa
tive, and—“Senator” Spinks It will be
Gov. Candler—“honest old Allen,”
as he is known—deserves the votes of
all good citizens next Wednesday with
out regard to party. He has made
Georgia an excellent Chief Executive,
and should have a hearty endorsement
at the- hands of the people. Polk
county should turn out at the polls
and give the full state ticket a rousing
vote.
The drift in national politics is cer
tainly towards the election of Bryan
and Stevenson. The foreign policy of
McKinley’s administration-, the out
rageous Porto Ricun tariff law, tl)e
trusts and militaryism, with Hanna as
the dominating influence over all, are
too much for the republican party to
carry. All signs point to the over
throw of the McKinley administration

Pig iron in Birmingham is quoted
at prices ranging from $12.60 to $0.76

The ballots to be liked next Wednes
day at the election are the largest in
the history of the state, and most of
the tickets printed contain the names
of nearly every candidate for state and
county ofllces. The voter will, there
fore, be compelled to scratch tlie names
of those whom lie opposes, leaving the
name of tlie candidate for whom he
.wishes to vote on tlie ticket. This
should not be forgotten, for the man
agers will not count the ballot for any
man where more than one candidate
is voted for,
