HON. CHARLES ADAMSON,
The Energetic President of the Adamson Cotton Mil! Company, a Welcome
New Addition to Cedaatown*s Enterprises.
Victoria, Queen of Great Bri
tain and Empress of India,passed
away Tuesday morning, and the
whole civilized world joins with
her own dominions in sorrow at
the death of this noble sovereign.
For almost sixtv-four years she
Inis been the ruler of England's
vast domains, and her eighty-two
years of life have covered one of
the most notable eras in the
world's history. She has ruled
wisely and well, and deep and
sincere is the grief at her death.
Albert Edward, the Prince of
Wales, succeeds to the throne
under the title of King Edward
All. May bis mother's mantle
of wisdom, justice and modera
tion fall upon him!
A Birmingham dispatch says
that Air. Eugene Zimmerman lias
disposed of all his Alabama fur
nace, iron and coal interests to
Landonberg. Thnlman A Go., of
New York.
Air. T. A. J. Alajors, who
formerly edited a paper at Rock-
mart, lias taken hold of the
Slate at that place,and will issue
bis first paper this week. We
are glad ro welcome him back
to Polk county newspaperdom.
will move here when the mill is completed, and become a perma
nent resident, of Cedartown.
The mill will lie built for 10,000 spindles, but will start opera
tions with 4,000. The mill will manufacture the finest of hosiery
and underwear yarns. A dye-house will be added, and the plant
will be devoted to the manufacture of colored goods only.
The location has been selected on the west side of Cedar Greek,
the Cedartown Company furnishing the site. No bonus is asked I
from anyone for the location of this important new enterprise, but :
the county will be asked to build a bridge across the crock opening!
up a new road—a continuation id' Vine street. As every new fac
tory adds to the taxable values of Polk and thereby reduces the tax
rate for the entire county, we are satisfied that our County Com
missioners will readily grant this. Air. Adamson asks only for the j
construction of a substantial wooden bridge, for which Mr. .S. S.
Evans will do the civil engineering and superintendence without
charge.
I his new industry will lie a most welcome addition to Cedar-
town's growing li*t of manufacturing enterprises. Both our busi
ness men and farmers have felt the beneficial effects of the location |
of cotton factories here, and every new mill—and especially a big!
one like this—adds to the welfare of all our people.
Cedartown is already largely indebted to Air. Adamson for her
growing prestige as a cotton manufacturing center, and this new
enterprise puts us under yet deeper obligations to him. lie is wide
awake and progressive, and the promotion of Cedartown’s growth
has become, as it were, a part of himself. This, as lias been and
will lie abundantly shown, is a right go id tiling for Cedartown.
All'. Adamson left Aiondn.v for Philadelphia to make arrange
ments for the early starting of work oil this big plant, and Tun
Standard voices the unanimous wish of our people that the Adam
son Mill Company may have a most prosperous career.
Til 13 lU'lLlllNG COMPLETED.
And the Josephine Mills Have lie-
cetvcd Ten Car-Loads of
New Machinery.
The building for the new Jose
phine Mills i> now practically
completed, and ten car loads of
up-to-date machinery have been
received. The foundations are
now nearly finished for the big
engine and boiler.
The machinists are expected
from the North next week to put
up the machines for the spinning
and knitting departments, and
other shipments of machinery
are on the way. Air. George If.
Wade, the hustling vice president
and general manager, lias every
thing well in hand for the early
completion of this splendid mill.
With one new mill definitely
secured for 1901—and with the
whispered certainty of another
big one,—Cedartown is "strictly
in it.”
The year 1901 starts ouf with
the richest promise for Cedar
town of any year in her history.
Let us all pull together to see
that this promise is realized.
The Staxdakd is in receipt of a
couple of handsome volumes of
the “Confederate Memorial”
from Mr. AL II. Clark, of Clarks
ville, Tenn., a large stockholder
in our Wahnetn Alilis. He was
President Jefferson Davis’ con
fidential clerk throughout the
war, and played an important
part in the Confederacy.
BONDS REFUNDED.

Intornul Improvements Need Not
Stop—Good Work of City
Ofllelals.
Cedartown has a bonded in
debtedness of $50,000 for her
Water, light and sewerage sys
tems. These bonds commenced
to fall due Jan 1st, 1901, at the
rate of $2,500 a year for the next
twenty years.
To meet these bonds as they
fall due would necessitate cither
a raising of the tax rate or a con
siderable cessation of internal
improvements — either horn of
the dilemma being most unwel
come. *
Our people will accordingly be
happy to learn that through the
good work of Dr. L. S. Ledbetter
as Mayor and Col. J. K. Davis as
City Attorney, without expense
to the city, arrangements have
been made for the re-funding of
these bonds as they fall due for
the next ten years, when they
can either be paid or re-funded
in a lump as desired. The ileal
is made through Air. Roby Robin
son, of Atlanta, and is a most
fortunate one for Cedartown.
Mr. A. II. Shaver lias sold his
Dalton Argus to Air. B. L. Heart-
sill, of Cleveland, Tenn., who
took charge last week. Shaver
is one of the best newspaper men
in the South, as his work on the
Argus lias plainly shown, i llis
successor is a man of the same
stamp, however, and Dalton will
not suffer from this change [of
editors.
Polk county secured an in
crease of over $550,000 in the
value of her taxable property in
1900, and the first year of the
new century is going to witness
another big advance in our per
manent wealth.
A long pull, a strong pull, and
a pull altogether for Cedartown.
