The ItusTLEit.
Municipal politics are very,
very quiet again tliis year—f hanks
to our admirablo white primary
system.
The city registration books
closed Saturday evening, there
being 808 registered voters.
Saturday evening also brought
to a close Hie time for handing
to Col. W. W. Mnndy, secretary
of the Executive Committee, an
nouncements of candidacy for
city olliccs, and while the list is
not', a long ono from which to se
lect, it is an especially good one.
Tlio interest all centers in the
race for City Clerk, the other
candidates having no opposition.
Three excellent gentlemen—any
one of whom would make a Hon. A. S. Clay, our popular
model official—are contesting for niul distinguished junior Senator,
this prize, viz: Messrs. .1. 0.1 has introduced in the United
Walker, Danio Roberts and J. A. States Senate a hill which would
Wilson.
In tho 1st. Ward, Air. C. W.
Smith inis lmd not even talk of
opposition since ho was placed in
nomination by the unanimous'ac
tion of a representative ward
meeting.
Air. Tims. .1. Gridin lias no op
position for Aldormanic honors
in tho till Ward. Some friends
of Mr. 13. 'J'. Sowell handed in
his name, hut that gentleman
promptly withdrew it.
Air. A. R. Golightly also lias
tho race for Councilman to him
self in tho 4th Ward. Tho names
of Alossrs. .Ind Orabb, W. X.
Holmes and 11. J. Dempsey woro
also discussed and presented by
friends, hut wore speedily with
drawn l>y tho gentlemen them
selves.
Alcssrs. Smith, Griffin and
Golightly are progressive gontlc-
mon,in whoso hands the interests
of our city will ho faithfully
cared for.
Thrco vacancies are about to
exist, oil tho City School Board,
through the expiration of terms
of Messrs. R. A. Adams, W. T.
Gibson and W. G. England. The
first named gentleman has grati
fied his friends by consenting to
sorvo a^ain, hut Afessrs. Gibson
and England positively refused
to "run again. Afessrs. W. C.
Bunn and J. E. Good, two gen
tlemen who liavo served accepta

deal efi'eectunlly with the trusts
The hill proposes to admit, free of
duty any article which will cmn'o
in' competition with goods manu
factured by any trust. In other
words, Senator Clay proposes t o
remove tho tremendous advant
age which a protective tnrifi'
gives to tho trusts. This would
he' 1 a practical remedy for the
trust troublos, hut. we fear it will
never ho accepted by a republi
can Congress.
The Georgia House of Repre
sentatives has given the new At
lanta depot hill what it is hoped
is only a temporary defeat. It
may not ho best for the state to
own railroads, yet tho fact re
mains that Georgia owns the W.
& A. road and its terminal facil
ities, and as long as this is true
it is the duty of the state to man
age it with an oyo to the perma
nent bottorment of its property.
Tho prosont enr-shod in Atlanta
is a disgraco and will not bo much
longgr tolorated by other roads
subrenting terminal facilities.
A now union depot would provo
a profitable investment for the
state, and no unfortunate anti-
Atlanta feeling in other sections
of state should be allowed to en
compass the defeat of this pro
ject. We are glad to note that
Representative Ayers, of Polk,
is proving himself ft very staunch
friend of the measure.
.THE ICE FACTORY.
TO. DM MOVKI) HERE FROM CAR
TERS'VI LIjE SOON.
Ccdartown'H Conflicting Ico Interim h
lo bo Coii80ll(Iatc(l.
It really looked for awhile as
though Ccdartown was going to
have two ice factories, instead of
the one Tin? Standaiid recently
told its readers about.
But one is just right for our
present needs, and two would bo
one too many.
It came about, in this wise:—
For some time past, Afessrs. II.
N. VanDevander, J. R. Barber,
L. S. Ledbetter and B. F. Low-
tiler liavo been figuring on an ico
plant for Ccdartown, and last
yenr purchased a site for\same
near the E. ifc IV. freight depot.
Since that time they have been
quietly at work negotiating for
the purchase from the Ice Trust
of the plant at Oartorsville, which
the trust, bought out and closed
down some time since. As a
matter of fact, the trade has
been consummated for some
time, though the fact was not
public property.
In tho meantime, Alossrs, Ed
VanWinklo, W. J. and AI. I-I.
Harris and II. Stern made up
their minds that an ice factory
would ho a profitable investment,
and at once wont to work to so-
cure a charter and negotiate for
machinery.
Fortunately, howovor, the con-
llioting interests have lmd no
trouble in coming to a* mutual
understanding and combining
their forces.
The lot is being prepared for
the location of the plant, which
will ho moved over from Oarters-
villo in a few days. It 1ms not
yet been decided whether tho
water supply will he taken from
a line spring near by or from a
well. Tho site is on a spur of the
E. & W., and is well located for
shipping, and—
Gednrtown will make her own
ice in 1001.
STEAM I.AUND1IY.
As an ice plant iB in operation
only part of tho year, it, is more
than likely that other industries
will ho added, among them n
steam laundry, which will provo
a paying industry.
We congratulate tho gentlemen
at the head of this new industry
on their enterprise,and wish them
abundant success.
