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.” mckinley wihsi BRYAN DEFEATED BY HEAVY ODDS. ‘‘imOSPEIUTY” TALK CAPTURES VOTES. y 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.
