The groat Pennsylvania coal
strike was settled yesterday, the
■striking miners winning all tliei"
'demands.
There were only 28,000 popu
list votes cast in Georgia in the
recent state election, and the
Democratic majority in the state
is ’TO,000.
The trial of Youtsey, another
«f tho alleged conspirators in the
assassination of Governor Goe
bel, is now in progress at George
town, Ky.
OOpt. Shields and his com
pany, of tho 20th Regiment, who
wore recently captured by the
Filipinos in the island of Marin-
duque, havo been rescued.
Twb hundred Filipinos attacked
twenty soldiers of tho 24th.Regi
ment last week Wednesday while
they wore repairing a telegraph
lino in tho island of Luzon, kill
ing or capturing all but seven of
them. Yet the war in the Phil
ippines is over!
There was less bitterness in
the recent, county election in
Folk than lias existed for years.
In view of tliis fact it is tho ox-
trome of foolishness for any
friends of defeated candidates to
so,ok to stir up strife now that it
is ovor by threatening vengeance
■oil tlio majority of tho voters of
tho county.
TiiB Standard kept out of the
recent county campaign, and we
are accordingly in a position to
urge peace and harmony upon
• tho good people of Polk. That
was pur solo object 4n urging the
white primary for the county,and
•we are glad to know that some
•who helped to kill it lm vo changed
their minds about it sinco the
election.
There is no known reason wliy
cotton should go down in price
except that tho speculators are
interested in pounding it down.
Tlio crop is short fully 88 per
cent, and tlio factories are com
pelled to have more cotton than
was raised this year by tlio world
to keep their mills going. Every
condition and cause should keep
up tlio price of cotton to at least
10 cents.
“Three choors for our next
President!” was tho loud acclaim
with which Bryan was greeted
Tuesday by enthusiastic thou
sands in Now York City. The
ovation which he received there
was one of the greatest ever ac
corded a Presidential candidate,
and there are plenty of good
judges who Believe that New
York is electoral vote will go to
Bryan on Nov. (1th.
Cotton lias declined a cent a
pound, or $5 a hale, in one week,
which is a loss of several millions
to our farmers. Every intelli
gent man knows that the specu
lators are pounding down the
price because the bulk of the
crop is now being dumped on the
market. Will some distinguished
republican pleaso explain why
“McKinley prosperity” does not,
keep up the price to 101 cents?
It is really amusing to hear our
republican friends and their
allies claim 10-eent cotton as a
result of what, they call “Mc
Kinley prosperity.” If the pres
ent administration Brought us 10-
•cent cotton, why under the sun
did McKinley not bring it in ’09
atul ’98? If “McKinley pros
perity” brought 10-cent cotton,
why is the administration now
pounding down the price when
the bulk of tlio crop is thrown on
the market?

GENTLEMAN FHOM OAllltOLti.
When the Horn Newt Tumlin
rises to address the lyext Georgia
Legislature, Speaker Little will
recognize him as “the gontleman
from Onrroll.” And his many
old friends in Polk are glad of
tlio recognition of his popularity
and worth just given by the De
mocracy of Oarroll county in his
election to the Houso.
'While it lias been a number of
years since Mr. Tumlin moved
from Polk to Oarroll, there are
few moil better kno.wn or liked
than ho in this county. His rich
fund of wit and drollery will
make him in great demand in tho
cloak-rooms during spare mo
ments, just as his good sense will
lie of value in tlio legislative
halls.
Mr. Tumlin was hero last, week
as tho guest of his children’, Mrs.
Joint Hutchings and Mr.' W. Y.
Tumlin, and paid The Standahd
a most welcome visit.
NO NEW DISTRICT.
• The petitioners for a now mili
tia district with Aragon as its
capital, will have to change their
proposed boundary lines before
they can get what they ask for.
The County Commissioners at.
their regular monthly session
Monday acted adversely on their
petition, on tlio ground that the
proposed cuts from Buncombe
and Fish districts would not
len.vu in their districts one hun
dred white men- each between
the ages of 21 and 45, tlio legal
period of militia service. The
main cut, of course, would come
from Rocknmrt district, in which
Aragon is now located, and there
is strong objection in that dis
trict to parting with this valua
ble territory,

ANOTHER MILL HERE.
Ron. Chaa, Adamson Writes That
Cedartown Will Havo Another
Industry.
1-Ion. Gluts. Adamson, the inde
fatigable General Manager of the
Oedartown Company, writes ns
follows to Tiie Standard from
Philadelphia:—
“I. note with great pleasure
that the new Cotton Oil Mill lias
started, and we are all going to
aid it in every way tlm't is in our
poiver. That point 1ms been
positively settled ns it line of
policy by our Company.
“After the election I expect to
lpcate another mill in Oedartown,
in which I will ho personally in
terested. /You nre at liberty to
make an announcement that I
am organizing another mill for
Oedartown, and that the matter
is hold up at present until after
tlio election of Mr. McKinley. I
believe there will bo no hitch in
the organization as soon us the
election is settled. A further
announcement about this later
on.”
Gen. Win. L. Wilson, the hon
ored president of Washington
and Leo University, died yester
day. Ho was a gallant Confed
erate soldier, and was Postmas
ter General during President
Cleveland's administration.
While some people will have
to pay a penalty for carelessness
in giving in their tax returns,
the present advertising -of “un
returned tax sales” will result, in
much good. It will bring in a
groat deni of real estate that has
escaped taxntion, and will also
straighten out a great many tan
gled records.
Gov. Onndler last Thursday ap
pointed Col. Phil G. Byrd to suc
ceed the late Gen. J. McIntosh
Kell as Adjutant General of the
Georgia troops. Col. Byrd lias
been serving ns Assistant, Adju
tant, anil during Gen. Kell’s long-
continued illness lias lmd entire
management of the office, hence
his, appointment collies ns a grace
ful v ,recognition of liis'faithful
service to the state. His conduct
of the affairs of the office lias
been admirable, and lie lias found
ways of 'saving the state large
amounts of money in the care of
her public buildings—an import
ant duty connected with that of
fice. We congratulate Col. Byrd
on his appointment, and hope his
tenure of office may be long and
successful. •

COMMISSIONER STEVENS
THINKS COTTON IS POUNDED
DOWN
By Speculators for No Jnstinablo
Reason—Not Over 0,000,000
Bales This Year.
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.
Stevens declares that the present de
cline in the price of cotton is entirely
unjustifiable. He snys that cotton is
worth more than it is now bringing,
nnd that in his opinion the whole orop
will not exceed 9,000,000 bales.
Commissioner Stevens stated that
there was no reason for the fall in
price known to him, except specula
tion. He further stated that the esti
mate made by the commissioners of ag
riculture August 80th was larger than
the orop would really be, in liisopin-
ion. The estimate made was 0,805,000
bule3.
This estimate was made subjeot to
any deterioration in the crop, nnd to
enrly or inte frost. Since that time
there has never been any reaction in
tiie crop, but it has gradually deterio
rated nil the while. There is no top
orop; frost either late or enrly would
not affect the crop at all, and this ap
plied to all tiie cotton states from the
best information he could gather.
Mr. Stevens also stated that he lmd
been in direct communication with all
the cotton states, nnd that he was now
prepnred to assert that in his opinion
the present cotton crop would not be
above 9,000,000 bales, and that a num
ber of tile commissioners in other cot
ton states estimated the crop at less
than that. He is very confident in his
estimate, but asserts that only time
can settle this question; that the peo
ple who nre trying to bear the mnrkct
are doing so without anything to back
up their efforts to put tile price of cot
ton down.
Tiie commissioner Is of the opinion
that there will be fluctuations in the
market from time to time, and white
he will not commit himself as to what
the price will be later on, it is clear
tlmt he believes that cotton is good
purchase at the present price. He
urges tlmt the mills will need more
cotton than will be produced, and
while they arc at present buying from
week to week, tlmt the time will come'
in the near future when the mills will
be forced to lmve the cotton.
