The South celebrated Wash
ington’s Birthday with quite a
snow storm at night.
King “Guano” is now the rul
ing passion with our farmers.
But next fall that mortgage on
that crop!
Some Kansas people object to
singing “Coronation” or wearing
carnations because the names
sound so much like Carrie Nation.
There is a great deal of specu
lation right now ns to whether the
Seaboard or the Central has pur
chased the C. K. & S. Our own
opinion is thut neither has bought
it—yet.
Every citizen should do his
part towards building up the
town. We all reap the benefits
of evory industry located here,
and no one should shirk his duty
in any effort to bring other facto
ries to Cedartown.
The farmers of l’olk are gar
dening and plowing for the crop
of 1001. More plows, planters,
fertilizers, distributors and im
proved machinery of every kind
have been bought, by Polk county
farmers than ever before in our
bistory.
Hon. (). B. Stevens, Commis
sioner of Agriculture, has been
confined to his homo in Griflin
several days with the grip, but is
out again at his post of duty. Col.
Stevens iB one of the ablest as
well ns one of the most popular
state officials at the Capitol, and
his recovery is gratifying to an
army of friends throughout
Georgia.
The farmer who rasises hog and
hominy, wheat and vegetables,
and everything else consumed on
a farm, can afford to experiment
with cotton as a side issue. But
the man who raises all cotton,and
neglects his hogs, wheat, corn and
other products to keep body and
soul together with his family and
his stock, comes out at the small
end of the horn in the fall, with
mortgages uncancelled and store
bills unpaid.
Mr. T. C. llagnn Isis been ap
pointed Jury lteviser by Judge C.
G. Janes, to fill the vacancy
the Board caused by the recent
death of Mr. C. W. Harris. The
selection of Mr. liagan is an ex
cellent one, coming as he does
from the same district and in the
east end of the county where his
predecessor lived. Both ns Dep
uty and later as Sheriff of Polk
county, Mr. Hagan made a good
record, and as Jury Reviser he
will exercise the same scrupulous
regard for his duty to the public,
and with the same efficiency ns
has always characterized his offi
cial conduct.
Indiana is forging to the front
as a maker of sensational news
items. A negro named George
Ward waylaid and murdered Miss
Ida I'inkelstein, a young school
teacher, near Terre Haute, Ind.,
as she was traveling a lonely road
on her way home from school. An
infuriated mob took him from
the county jail at Vigo, Ind., and
after beating and hanging him,
burned his body to ashes. The
lynching occurred about noon
Tuesday, and the members of the
mob made no attempt at disguise.
This item is respectfully referred
to the fool negro-philes of the
North who are so fond of talking
about “Southern outrages.”
THE JOSEPHINE MILLS
OKTTINO KKAIIY TO START THE
NEW MACHINERY.
One of tlio Most Subiianntl, Well-
Equipped and Beautiful Mill
Planta In the Whole
Country.
The progress of the work at tjre
Josephine Mills sineo the first, of
January is very marked, and the
transformation of the grounds,
wit.li tlie placing of the machinery
by the fitters, make a most cred
itable show at this new industry.
Considerable grading lias been
done on tlio streets projected from
the city limits, and the mill site
as developed shows the location
to bo a superb one.
Already the company has con
structed twelve double-houses of
the better grade of tenement cot
tages, each housing two families,
and will erect twenty more, with
capacity to house eighty families.
These cottages will be supplied
with hydrants and closets, and a
private system of water-works
will furnish water for the
grounds, the mills and the
cottages.
A 10-room, t.wo-story boarding
house is going up, and will ho oc
cupied mainly by the export fe
male help in the knitting depart
ment. Beautiful water-oaks and
elms adorn the grounds, and the
fringe of tall shado trees skirting
south and west along the hanks
Big Spring branch und Cellar
creek lends an added charm to
this naturally beautiful spot.
The neat office building at the
east entrance to tlio grounds is
nearly completed, and commands
an excellent, view of the buildings
and grounds.
The main building, which is
810x05 feet, is completed, and is
substantial and well-planned
structure. Tlio shafting is all un
der floor, and all bolts and oil
pans will lie out. of sight The
immense basement apartment
will tie used for storing stock of
any kind, and will also contain
the big dynamo which is to sup
ply tlio electric lights for the
grounds and all buildings. On
the main lloor will bp the pickers,
the spinners and all the complex
machinery for the knitting de
partment. Tlio machinery is the
newest manufactured, and from
start to finish every known appli
ance and modern invention liavo
been sought to render the mill
perfect and complete in every
detail.
Several car lends of the ma
chinery have arrived, and a num
ber of tlie titters are getting the
tangled mass into shape, shining
and bright. The balance of the
machinery is now in transit, most
of which was imported from
England.
The big boilers are placed, and
have a capacity of 400 horse
power. Tlie engine is a huge af
fair, being of tlie best type of the
Corliss make, and is 450 horse
power. The fly-wheel is sixteen
feet, in diameter, and is!l(l inches
wide. This immense piece of
iron is anchored on a firm founda
tion, imbedded in several feet of
cement and concrete, and bolted
down through big marble slabs.
The large smoke-stack is ready to
be hoisted, and soon the columns
of black smoke will give tlie plant
a manufacturing air.
The bleachery is also finished,
and as soon as the hard woods re
ceive a few touches of the paint
brush and a few minor pieces
of machinery are fitted, this ad
junet to the mill will be ready to
receive the finisned product of
tlie knitting machines.
Over the east entrance to the
main building is a handsome mar
ble arch, pure white, on which is
chiseled the name and date,
“The Josephine Mills —1000

and adds much to the splendid
facade of the big structure.

Tiik Standard offers this 'sug
gestion :— That the Mayor and
Council, all city officials and the
general public, headed by the
Baugli - Zimmerman Band, pro
ceed to the mill and participate
in the interesting exercises of
thiH corner-stone laying.
Tlio demonstration would he a
fitting recognition on the part of
our people of the part this large
industry is going to play in the
future commercial and industrial
history of Cedartown, and em
phasize the interest and appre
ciation of our citizens in the
work of the mill projectors in
contributing so effectively to our
city’s growth and expansion.
TIIK COMPANY OKKICKRS.
The official roster of this com
pany embraces names not un
familiar to the business circles of
Cedartown. Hon. Daniel Baugh,
the big - hearted and generous
Philadelphian, who lias 'been
identified very materially with
the industrial history of our city,
is the able President. It is the
regret of his many friepds here
that he will not have returned
from his South Atlantic cruise in
time to witness the formal dedi
cation of this new industry.
Mr. Geo. II. Wado is the capa
ble vice-president and general
manager, and has been one of
the main directors in the build
ing of this big mill. He had en
tire charge of the IVahneta Knit
ting Mill from its inception until
the first of this year, when lie
resigned the general managership
to devote his entire time to the
Josephine.
Mr. Paul Daniel Baugh is the
energetic and efficient secretary-
treasurer, and is tlio personal
representative of his father in
tlie latter’s absence. Tlie plans
and scope of this enterprise are
the product of Mr. Paul Baugh’s
brain, and from the moment tlie
site was selected and tlie first
brick laid, ho lias been the direct
ing mind in all its affairs. The
beautiful and appropriate name
of “Josephine” was given this
mill by this young gentleman as
a graceful and delicate compli
ment to his beautiful fiancee,
Miss Fay Josephine Glaser, who
lias since become his lovely bride.
Mr. Baugh is a gonial and pop
ular young gentleman, who has
most, favorably impressed himself
on all with whom ho has come in
contact socially and in a business
way. He 1ms won many friends
in Cedartown, who will join The
Standard in wishing this splendid
enterprise a brilliant and success
ful career.
Mr. Louis D. Wade is tlie bust
ing superintendent, and is pre
paring himself with a special
view to making the finished pro
duct of the knitting department
second to none in point of texture
and design in tlie entire South.
A SUGGESTION.
The eorner stone of this build
ing lias never been laid,a wooden
block having been placed in the
wall temporarily, and it is calcu
lated now to lay in about five
weeks tlie corner stone, which is

by the Alabama Legislature to

excellent sentiments, which are
worthy the attention of Demo

“Tile reference to political matters

to say that the/Democratic party, as
the great conservative force of the
country, is more than ever essential to
