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.

A. G. West. Mr. Swnyne arrived Inst Thursday in Xetv York from Europe, and the reports from Eastern Iron men ns to the quality of the charcoal iron made in Cedartown is very gratifying to the directors of tint company under his management. At the present prices of Southern pig, tlio product of the Cherokee furnace is netting the com pany a handsome margin, and Is quite ill demand. Only the other day one Arm placed an order for (10U tons lor immediate use, and the high grndu iron made here is having ready sale, notwithstanding tlio temporary de pression ill tlie iron market.

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 Democratic Ticket. For President, . Wit.LIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. For Vico President, ADLAI E. STEVENSON. Fo United Sink’s Senator, A. O.

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,
