THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1901.
Cerlartown mines and ships
more Iron Ore than any other
point in the whole South, out
side of Birmingham.
8llOl)f,D nil lillOKKN UP.
Tliero is 11 certain crowd in Oe-
dnrtown who need some special
attention, we regret to say. They
commit acts of vandalism at
night when honest people are
asleep, which deserve and will
finally receive due punishment.
It is thought that the work is
done by a few men and boys—
some of whom doubtless belong
to good families—who take pos
session of up-stair rooms with
out permission of the owner and
then spend a largo part of the
night gambling. If they don’t
have a key that will lit the door,
they do not hesitate to break the
lock—although the breaking of a
lock is punishable as burglary.
Our attention has been called to
doors served in this way, whose
owners are naturally indignant.
The destruction of the plumbing
in the up-stairs of the Richard
son building by some vandals one
night recently was an outrage de
serving heavy punishment, and
Dr. Richardson otters a reward
in this issue for the arrest and
conviction of the miscreants. It
is time that a stop is mado to
such malicious mischief,oven if it
should become necessary for the
city authorities to employ a night
watchman.
If an immediate stop is not
mado to {such ilugrant abuse of
other people’s property, wo hope
the grand jury will thoroughly
investigate the matter, and we
are satisfied that the court will see
that some ono wears the stripes
to pay for such cussedness.
Georgia’s Democratic Governor
could not bo inveigled into an on
dorsement of Mark Hanna’s ship
subsidy bill at that maritim con
gress in Brunswick.
Mules are bringing a better
price throughout the South than
any spriug since theciyil war. All
of which means that there is go
ing to be more cotton planted in
1001 than ever before in our his
tory. *
The government of Canada has
taken steps to pirrehase all tele
graph systems with a view to
operating' and extending them
with the postollice department.
All telephone lines will likely
pass under control of the govern
ment.
Mrs. Nation, the Kansas bar
room smasher, is still breaking
the laws as well as the saloons of
the Sunflower state. “Bleeding
Kansas” has furnished all sorts
of reformers, cranks and mon
strosities, and this latest freak is
but a natural product of those
fanatical people.
It is dollars to doughnuts that
those Atlanta and Augusta
gentlemen who have been giving-
one another the lie lately and
then lotting their friends stop
any duel, would have had a lot
to say about the cowardice or
lack of grit of New York or New
England men under like circum
stances.
Senator A. S. Clay has the solid
and enthusiastic support and
backing id' the Georgia democ
racy in his light against Ilanna’s
ship subsidy bill. This bill is
nothing short of a cold-blooded
steal of about $0,000,000 a year
from the public treasury by a lot
of millionaire ship-owners for
about twenty years, and in the
■ m um-time, the dear people will
have to “pay the freight.”
STANDARD OIL COMPANY
WILL BUILD A BULK STATION
If RUB,
And Supply a Large Territory from
Cedartown an a Distributing Point
—Another Convenient;*; for Our
People.
The great Standard Oil Com
pany lias had its eye on Oedpr-
town for some time, and is going
to he identified with our progress
in a lifting and substantial way.
Mr. K. R. Hugh,of Atlanta,the
general manager for Georgia of
tlfat big corporation, was hero re
cently looking over the situation,
and selected a site for bis com
pany on which will bo erected
large stationary tanks to hold
several thousand gallons of coal
oil.
The lot lies in the “Y” formed
by the E. <fc W. main line and
the switch track connecting that
road with the C. R. <k S., in the
center of the city. The site is
an admirable one, and is conve
nient to all patrons of that oil
company. The improvements
will consist of big iron tanks, u
warehouse, a wagon yard and
ofllco, and a delivery wagon will
work the town regularly to the
great convenience of that com
pany’s patrons.
It is also the.intention of the
Standard Oil people to supply
Cave Spring, Rockmart, Esom
Hill and all near-by places direct
from Oednrtown as a distribut
ing point, and that means the
constant use of a good team and
oil wagon and a regular driver,
besides their agent and manager,
Mr. J. E. Good. The town of
Buchanan will also likely bo sup
plied from this place.
Eor many years Rome has been
the distributing point for all
these places, a regular office with
full equipment being maintained
there. This change brings Oe-
dartown to tho front, and the
Standard Oil Company will here
after he recognized as one of tho
business institutions of our city.
Oedurtown has heretofore been
only a subordinate station with
the Standard Oil Company, their
shipments boro being always in
barrels of only car-load lots.
Hereafter their big stationary
tanks will ho supplied here by
their Union Tank Lino cars,
which hold 5,000 to 8,000 gallons
of oil.
Heretofore tho local consump
tion of oil lias not justified that
company in placing such equip
ment here, hut Cedartown lias
grown so rapidly within the past
few years that their old quarters
became totally inadequate for
their increasing business,.and tho
determination of that company
to enlarge its plant and keep
pace with the demands of their
trade is a splendid tribute to and
a recognition of the progress and
growth of our city.
Cedartown must broaden her
ideas and liberalize her views
along with her industrial expan
sion and growth.
CEDAHTOWN OIL MILLS
Have Made a Fine Record for the
Firm Season.
The Cedartown Oil Mills have
mado such an excellent record
for the few months they have
been in operation that they are
justly entitled to a place in the
front ranks of our thriving and
successful industries.
About the first of last Novem
ber, this splendid plant got fairly
under headway, and although
verytliing was new, the mana
gers Jin ve gone steadily ahead,
turning out fine products of oil,
meal and hulls.
Only last week these mills
shipped 88,000 gallons of cotton
seed oil, receiving therefor the
igliest market price, this ship
ment bringing the output of this
industry so far up to 80,000 gai
ns.
These mills have sold already
about 100,000 pounds of the finest
cottonseed meal, besides tons of
cottonseed hulls.
This industry effects directly
all oqr people—farmers, mer,
'limits and consumers of every
kind—and all are glad that its
initial year is proving such a
uceessful venture. Tho diur
etic and hustling gentlemen at
the head of this establishment
among Cedartown’s best busi
ness men, and the fact that home
capital is largely interested in its
operations appeals strongly to
ocal pride in tho success of the
enterprise.

HO! FOB THE NEW CENTURY!
Our farmers will find it all
ri^lit to plant plenty of cotton
this year, provided they raise
their own food supplies. But it
won’t do to het on high prices for
cotton this fall!

celebration of the anniversary.
Mrs. Carrie (or Helen D.) Na
tion, who has been smashing
saloons in Kansas with her little
hatchet, is doing one good thing
by her violent and lawless acts.
Kansas is a prohibition state, yet
saloons are'openly run in nearly
every town in open violation of
the law, and Mrs. Nation is do
ing good service in calling wide
spread attention to the fact.
