THEY BOTH GO BACK.

Tho pooplo dear Jiavo Maid, 'do back!'
And pointod out to ouch tho track.

■—THIS IUJ8TLKU.
As wont Polk, so wont the
country!
Yes, it was a landslide for
Bryun—but he wns under instead
of on it. .
And now keep your oyo on
David Bonnott Hill for the next
four years.
MoKlnloy is re-elected—and
Oodartown is ready for that now
cotton factory!
All legal advertising Ceos are
payable strictly in advance. All
parties interejfted should take duo
notice.
And now for those great chunks
and wads of prosperity promised
in tho event of McKinley’s re-
election !
Elsewhere in this issue wo pub
lish'tho state and national gaino
laws in Ml. Sportsmen will do
well to read them carefully.
Oodartown needs badly a largo
number of bettor class cottages
and residences that would rent
for .$(1 to $15 por month. Many
desirable families have been
turned away for want of a house
to live in.
The Georgia Division of United
Confederate Veterans will hold
thoir annual reunion at'Augusta
next week, beginning Wednes
day and closing Friday. Augusta
is making extensive preparations
to entertain tlio veterans and
their friends with whole-souled
hospitality*
When you feel reasonably cer
tain how anything is going to
turn out, it is not so diilleult to
reconcile yourself to actual re
sults. Democrats throughout this
section aro accordingly not so
bitterly disappointed as they
might have been over tho results
of Tuesday’s olection.
The Aragon Gun Club lias over
18,000 acres of land “posted,”
lying between Aragon, Oedar-
town, Hoekmartand Seney. Any
one apprehended bunting or Ash
ing on these lands without writ
ten permit from a member ’ of
tho Club, will bo prosecuted to
tlio full extent of the law.
The Georgia Legislature carried
out the will of the people Tues
day by unanimously re-electing
Hon. A. O. Bacon as Senator
from Georgia. Ho had no oppo
sition in tlio Democratic white
primary, and his unanimous re-
election is a well-deserved com-
plimeht to his high ability and
faithful services.
Tho sending of republican elec
tion tickets through the mails
under Government frank is a
bigh-lmnded piece of biisinessfor
which somebody should be made
to suffer. Largo numbers of re
publican tickets were sent to Oe-
dartown in this way, and the
matter should be investigated by
tbo postal authorities.
Add now it transpires that the
Btou.'M. B. Walker, of Crawford
oouttty, did not “blow out the
gas” after all. He turned it off',
but there was something the
matter with the gas fixtures, and
tho Georgia Legislature came
dear losing a member from as
phyxiation. But Mr, Walker
wants it distinctly understood
that lie knew better than to
“blow out the gas.”

Polk County Goes Republican for
ProHldent, but Gives CoriKress
man Maddox a Good
Plurality.
Well, the “long agony” is
over, and tlio republicans will
rule in national affairs four years
more.
McKinley wns re-elected Tues
day by ap ovonvhelining major
ity of both the popular and
electoral votes, defeating Bryan
by greater odds than in 1800.
Not a single doubtful state went
into the Bryan column, with the
exception of Kentucky, Nebraska,
ami Idaho.
Of tho Southern states, Mc
Kinley carried Maryland, Dela
ware and West Virginia.
Bryan carried all other South
ern states and Avo Western states
—Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado, Ne
vada and Montana. From the
latest, election returns the veto
by states gives McKinley 284,
Bryan 108. In 1800 tho voto
stood: McKinley 271, Bryan 170,
thus showing a gain for tho re
publicans of 18 in the' electoral
college.
The next Congress will be re
publican by about 50 majority,
that party having a full sway in
all matters in tho White House,
Senate and House of Represen
tatives.
Kentucky goes Democratic for
both state and national tickets, as
does Nebraska, but by small
majorities in both states. Ne
braska elects two U. S. Senators,
and it is among the possibilities
that Bryan may yet go to tho
United States Senate.
Polk county gavo McKinley
529 majority, overy precinct in
tlio county going for him with
tlio single exception of Brown
ing’s district, which, gave Bryan
0 majority. Rockmart gavo Mc
Kinley 100 majority, while, Oe-
dartown raised the limit to 179
majority.
Congressman Maddox carried
Polk by a safe plurality of 141,
receiving at. the Codartown box
18 votes move than both his op
ponents combined. The total
vote for each candidate in Polk
is as follows:
l'OH l’HKSIDKNT.
McKinley 1011)
Bryan 400
MoICInley’a majority 520
POR CONI1IIES8.M AN.
Maddox 041
MoKnlirht 500
Hamilton 3111
Maddox’s plurality 141
Judge Maddox’s plurality in
the district over his populist and
republican opponents, S. J. Mc-
Knight. and J. J. Hamilton
respectively, is about 6,000.
Haralson and Paulding counties
alone went for McKnight, popu
list, but by very small pluralities.
Hon. Phil Cook, Secretary of
State, makes a* suggestion
which may be a good thing for
Philip, but, which will not be
appreciated by.tlie weekly press
of the state. He wants all char
ters for manufacturing enter-
jn’ises to be grnnted by the Secre
tary of State, instead of by that
officer, the Legislature and the
courts as at present. Nearly all
of them are granted by the courts
at present, and the press of the
state is made happy by receiving
various and sundry charter fees,,
which they need in their busi
ness. Mr. Cook wants to got, a
state record of industries in the
way lie proposes, but tlio same
object could be ns easily attained
by requiring the Clerks of Courts
to report the granting of all char
ters to the Secretary of State’s
office.
CARD OP THANKS.
Rev. J. M. Crow and sons wish to
return heart ielt thanks through The
Standard to many kind friends
for their constant acts of Christian
kindness and assistance during the
long Illness and at the death ot the
late Mrs, Crow.
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.
President Howell, of the Geor
gia Senate, and Speaker Little,
of tho House, announced the per
sonnel of tho various committees
in tho General Assembly on
Tuesday, and that body lias now
settled down to business.
In the Senate, our district rep
resentative, Hon. Wm. E. Spinks,
fared well at tho hands of the
President. Senator Spinks waB
made chairman of the committee
on education and public schools,
.which will shape legislation on
tho great question of public edu
cation in Georgia. Besides this
important chairmanship, Senator
Spinks is also a member of the
following leading committees:—
Appropriations, general judici
ary, special judiciary, immigra
tion and labor, penitentiary and
public library.
In the House, Polk’s repre
sentative has a splendid assign
ment on committees. Hon. John
B. Ayers was placed by Speaker
Little on tlio following lending
House committees: — Corpora
tions,’ stnto sanitarium, roads and
bridges, immigration, labor and
labor statistics, and mines and
mining.
In both Senator Spinks and
Representative Ayers this dis
trict and county aro handsomely
recognized, and their friend's be
lieve that they will fully sustain
themselves and aid all wise and
conservative legislation in the
coming sessions of the Legisla
ture.
A GUNK ROUS GIFT.
Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta,
lias just done a praiseworthy and
generous act. He has given to
sixteen counties in Georgia a
circulating library of sixty vol
umes by standard authors, and
Polk is one of tho beneficiaries
of his bounty.
Each library is strongly boxed
in a good book-case built for hard
traveling, and tho library will ho
allowed to remain for a month or
two at eaeli school-house in tho
pounty, giving each child in the
district access to these valuable
books. The library for Polk has
been sent to our popular School
Commissioner, Hon. J. li. Hou-
soal.
Mr. Smith has the thanks of
the people of Polk for this kind
and'thoughtful act.
Old Polk maintained her po
litical record Tuesday by going
republican. Cleveland is the
only Democrat who ever carried
the county since the war.
We sincerely hope that the
Polk county farmers who voted
for McKinley because cotton hap
pened to bring a better price this
year, will not have reason for re
gret. They can rest assured,
however, that it was the short
ness of the crop that made the
increased price, and that a big
crop next year will lower the
price accordingly.
Mr. R. D. YanDyke, of Rome,
lias been appointed Jury Com
missioner for the new Federal
Court in that. city. He with
Clerk O. C. Fuller, of the United
States Circuit Court at Atlanta,
will prepare the jury box with
800 names of citizens of the coun
ties in the northwestern division
of this court. For the first ses
sion of the court, which will
meet in Rome on Monday, Nov.
19, they will draw about sixty
names. There is no distinction
between the grand and traverse
jurors. They are drawn from the
same box, and are each paid $2
per day and mileage.
Put your money in Ceilartown
dirt and build new houses, foru good
investment.
Mr. Luke McDonald, of Rome,
was here yesterday looking ufier the
interests of the McDonald Furniture
Co.
The properly of the estate of the
late Dr. B. F. Wright was sold Tues
day by his son, Mr. Wm. H. Wright,
administrator, to Dr. C. W. Peek for
$2,217. Dr. Peek thus comes into
possession ol a splendid property,
the old homestead of his former
partner and friend.

Another effort will ho made to
exempt church property, parson
ages and school property from
taxation. For several years such
a bill has been pending in the
General Assembly, and at. one
time it. passed, but on account, of
it being an amendment to the
constitution of the Btate, it wns
not ratified by the people.
