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 bly on theJBoardlin tlie past,with 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. BIG I2ST FINE FURNITURE!
