At- tho annual session of tho
Grand Lodge of Georgia Minions,
Hon, Max Meyerhart, of Romo,
was elected Grand Master yes
terday.
Instead of being for McKinloy,
as Governor “Terrible Toddy”
Roosevelt says,Gen. Joe Wheeler
is an active supporter of Bryan
and Stevenson.
Everyone who has occasion to
over visit Atlanta will be glad at
the prospect of a new depot on
the state’s valuable property ill
our capital city. The present
car-shed is a disgrace.
A vote next Tuesday for the
re-election of Hon. John ,W.
Maddox is a vote for one of the
most, faithful and capablb repre
sentatives this district, has ever
had at tho National Capital.
Judge Maddox has many warm
personal friends in Polk outside
of the Democratic party, and
they should every one go to tho
polls next Tuesday and help to
swoll the size of his majority.
Tho influence of Bishop H. M.
Turner, tho great, leader of tho
African M. E. Church, is actively
for Bryan this year, and will
bring many a colored voter to the
support of Bryan and Stevenson.
The Census Department has
announced the population of
Georgia, as shown by the recent
count, to bo 2,210,829—an in
crease of 878,070 over that of ten
years ago. This makes Georgia
the third largest state in the
South,tho vast, territory of Texas
and Missouri,being the only ones
to show a larger population.
Senator Hanna, of Ohio, says
"there are no trusts. His bosom
friend and political ally, Senator
Scott of West Virginia; says
trusts are a good thing. In the
meantime, the trusts are hacking
McKinley and Roosevelt with the
largest campaign fund ever
known, and are threatening their
employees with discharge unless
they vote as their bosses and
would-be owners dictate.
PUBLIC SPEAKING.
GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
TORE PROCLAIMED
At Various Points In Polk by
Strong Local Orators.
That Polk county will place
herself in the Bryan and Steven
son column next Tuesday is a
matter of. little doubt, but the
majority should be made as large
as possible.
With this idea in view, Ool. J.
II. Sanders ns chairman of the
County Democratic Executive
Committee, and Ool. J. K. Bar
ton as president of the Bryan
and Stevenson Club, have per
fected arrangements for a thor
ough canvass of tho county‘in
tho interest of Bryan mul Steven
son and of Congressman John W.
Maddox. Col. Sanders ‘set the

It is urged that all who have
the welfare of our country and
county-at heart will turn out to
hear the issues of the day dis
cussed. All tho gentlemen who
lmve been nsigned to campaign
duty as above are good speakers,
and what they say will he of in
terest and weight.
A GOOD SHOWING.
There is a strong movement in
tho Logislauture in favor of again
changing the method of election
of Judges and Solicitors. They
wore elected by the people at the
last election, and there are many
who believe it would he better
to tmvo them elected liy the Leg
islature or appointed by the Gov
ernor. We do not see the neces
sity,however,for a sudden change.
Wliy not, give tho system of elec
tion by tho peoplo a fair trial?
Tho Rev. Sam Jones is not al
ways as “wise as a serpent” in
his use of the English language.
For example, lie said in an inter
view tlie other day : “If Speaker
Little will not give us a temper
ance committee,with Seal) Wright
at the head of it, then there’s go
ing to lie a trainload of us fel
lows that’s going to give Speaker
Little a great deal of trouble.”
As i matter of fact, Speaker
Little had tendered the chair
manship of this committee to
Mr. Wright and had asked his
aid in selecting the committee.
After Sam Jones’ published
threat, however, Mr. Wright
publicly declined to accept the
chairmanship. It would seem
that Sam owes Speaker Little an
apology for some of the unfounded
and confounded things he has
been saying about him.
The Bnugh-Zimmermnh Band
have leased a special Western
Union wire running into the
Opera Houso, and will charge
only 50 cents admission to those
wishing to hear the presidential
election returns and some good
music Tuesday night. No extra
charges for reserved seats, if pro
cured at Turner’s jewelry store
before 7 p. m. that evening. One
lady admitted free with a gentle
man accompanying her. Come
out and hear the returns—they
will be full and interesting—and
enjoy the music by the band.
The last census shows the pop
ulation of the United States to
ho 70,205,220. Now York has
the largest population of any
state in the Union—7,268,009;
Pennsylvania comes second, with
0,801,805. The smallest state is
Nevada, with only -12,831—less
than the population of a good-
sized city.
lion. Fleming duBignon,one of
Georgia’s most brainy and bril
liant statesmen, must be consid
ered among the gubernatorial pos
sibilities two years lienee. Hon.
J. M. Terrell, our popular At
torney,General is understood to be
actively in the race, while two
other distinguished Georgians—
Hon. Clark Howell and Hon.
Pope Brown—are both said to
contemplate entering the field.
This is certainly good timber from
which to make a selection.
The Cedurtown Company receives
numerous letters of inquiry these
days about Ccdartown—In fact, Ce-
durtown’a fame has spread fur and
wide through tho well-directed ef
forts ot this enterprising company.
There are comparatively few larger
cities in the South more widely or
favorably known than Cedartown,
nnd the prosppets lor our thriving
town grow brighter every day.
Among tho Inquiries recently re
ceived by the Cedartown Company
was one from Mr. Bowden, of
Coiner,to which Mr.Adamson makes
the following categorical and truth
ful reply, which raukes a splendid
showing for Cedartown:—
Cbdaiitown, Ga„ Oot. 80,1000.
Mu. Paul A. Bowdkn, Comer, Ga.
Dkaii SlitWe have to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor dated 28d
Inst., addressed to Cedartown Invest
ment nnd Improvement Co., asking for
various information In regnrd to Ce-
dnrtown, Ga. We can probably best
reply to your request by categorically
answering eaoli of your questions.
“Are there any business openings
there, if so what are they?”
There Is most assuredly no other
town in this section of the state offer
ing such excellent business openings
and opportunities for profitable invest
ment of capital; these opportunities
are such us may be found in a rapidly
growing nnd prosperous community,
ns is this, nnd are almost too numer
ous to mention, as they practically
oovor the entire range of commercial
pursuits, in wliloh a man of energy
nnd business ability may here Dnd rich
reward.
“What is the last census?”
No returns have as yet been received
from the last census enumeration, hut
it Is probably safe to say that Cedar-
town lias a population of about four
thousand.
"Wlint kind of Schools and Churches
have you?”
In the way of educational facilities,
Cedartown is well equipped. We lmve
nn excellent graded Public School, in
charge of n most eflioient corps' of
teachers; also a private institution,
established about three years ago by
Itev. Geo. E. Benedict, Hector of the
Episcopal church.
Our ehurclips include two Methodist,
an Episcopal,Baptist and Presbyterian.
“IIow many stores, foundries, facto
ries, bntiks and business houses have
you?”
Cedartown lias one Bank, nnd needs
at least one more. It also lias about
60 or (10 Stores; 1 00-ton Iron Furnace;
1 Cotton Seed Oil Mill; 2 Foundries;
1 Grist Mill; 8 Cotton Mills, nggregnt-
ing 88,002 Spindles; 1 Knitting Mill,
cnpnolty 200 doz. suits Underwear per
day; I Knitting and Spinning Mill
(combined;) 2 Cotton Gins; 2 Pinning
Mills; 2 Iron Ore AVasliers (mining
plnntsO 2 Newspapers; 2 Hotels and a
number of boarding houses.
The largest and most important in
dustries are, of cousc, the Cotton nnd
Knitting Mills, which together have
an aggregate of 85,7-12 spindles.
Tlie pay rolls of the Furnace, Mines,
Railroads, Cotton ami Knitting Mills
and the other smaller industries
amount to $40,000 per month. This
sum is paid out ill weekly cash
amounts, and almost immediately goes
into tlie hands of tlie merchants, pro
fessional men and others.
These monthly payments represent
a totnl annual business, thrown to the
local trade, of $-180,000.
You will readily understand that
suoli a considerable annual disburse
ment of cnsli puts Cedartown on a
most sound and substantial business
footing, and means prosperity to the
entire community.
“How does property sell? What is
land worth in and around Cedartown?”
Land values will, of oourse, vary
with the location and character. Close
to town tlie price will range from $25
to $100 per aore; farther out, good
land may be had at from $10 to $20 per
acre. There is very little Improved or
unimproved property within thn city
limits now being offered for sale, and
it is therefore difficult to quote any
price. City property is, however, held
at good figures. The demand
stores and dwellings is constant, and
greatly in excess of the supply. There
is not a vacant building of any de
scription in the town.
Ill this conneotion wo think that a
person with capital might be able to
do a very profitable loan business, put
ting out his money nt good interest,
and on safe security, to parties wish
ing to build; thus, while benefiting
himself, at the same time helpiug the
development and growth of tlie town.
We send you under separate cover a
limp of Cedartown, with a small pam
phlet descriptive of this section, from
which we think you will be able to ob
tain some vnlunble informntiou.
Very truly yours,
Cedartown Company,
Per J. Wmonr Adamson,
See. nnd Treas.
