The cause of temperance has made rapid and most gratifying strides of late. Knoxville, Tenn.,a liquor strong hold, recently went “dry” by an over whelming majority, and Tennessee is on the highway to absolute prohibition South Carolina has abolished her state dispensary and has gone out of the liquor business. Here In Geor gia, where under local option nearly all our counties have prohibition, the people are hammering hard at the few dispensaries ill the state. Down In Terrell county, which furnished the stock argument for dispensary advo cates because that Institution paid all the county expenses, the people have Just decided that they would rather pay taxes than to have this form of the grog-Bhop In their midst. The people of the dry counties of Georgia have grown tired of letting u few wet counties reap all the reve nue and they get nothing but the re sultant drunkenness and crime, and they will soon rise In their might and blof'out the accursed traffic in every form in Georgia. And The Standard proposes to play its humble part In helping them to do so. With this thought in view, we lust, year refused to accept new advertising contracts for whiskey houses, and at the ex piration of present contracts whiskey advertisements will be seen no more In these columns—we trust, forever! We arc glad indeed that the move ment Inaugqrated a few years ago to establish a dispensary In Cedar town died a-boruing, thanks to the tears and prayers of the good wonieu of the community. It Is hard to pay taxes—and still harder it seems, to hold expenses down,—but either econ omy or high taxes is preferable to a death-dealing groggery of any kind. The editors of this paper have never voted any but a “dry ticket” in their lives, but we are frank to confess that we have never felt so strongly in the matter as since learning on in vestigation that nearly all the crimes of negroes against the white women of the South—in fact, nearly all our growing list bf crimes—are caused jby whiskey. For this reason, if no I other, we want to see the hellish traf fic wiped out of Georgia In every form and fashion. And we firmly believe that the good people of Polk will give a hearty Amen to this sentiment, and that they will be with us in the fight. With Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee getting rapidly Into line for state prohibition, for the first time In her history Georgia will have a chance to reap the benefit of such enactment without having it largely nullified by shipments from our next- door neighbors. There is a growing restlessness and disatisfaction among our people here, whatever their point of view'. The friends of the dispensary and the liquor people generally are not satis fied with existing conditions, and our temperance folks are not pleased with the half-prohibition we have under our local option law. We are certain tp move either forward or backward. We cannot stand still, and let us take no backward stop. The G. O. P. is having Us spat early in the campaign in Ohio. The friends of big Bill Talt and Senator “Fire Alarm” Foraker are scrapping in good fashion already over the presidental nomination next year PROF. Pt'KKft arPKKINTKSPKNT. A Leidliff Edintor Secured at a Salary af 11,76#. The City School Board last week elected Prof. J. K. Purka, of West Point, as Superintendent of our city public schools for the coming year at u salary of $1,750. While there was some opposition lu the Board to the Jump of $350 in salary (the present incumbent receiving $1,400.) the mem bers nre unanimous in believing that they lisve secured for our schools ono or He oevt educators la Georgia. Prol. Purks has been at the head of the West Point schools for the past nlnn y»*u - aid ’ ut the : • *t that tl.c m< |l< t: lMe* p.rce cannot rui/tc the $t.50i* i.niit t >e/ are now l»4>ihg hh»» brings at out he 'tinge hi khiii'Ti*»teiidenc> there. He is a grad'i.tf. * r L'moiy Ctl'a^e and h-ia Io»ig been tecoguised «ia * i e of the most able and successful educators in the state. He is a gentleman of high Christian character and an active church worker, having been the be loved superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School at West Point for several years. His Influence as a citizeu will be of vast value in the community. Prof. W. T. Garrett, the talented gentleman under whose superin tendency our schools have^ prospered so greatly the past three years, was not an applicant for re-election. The Hoard decided to increase the salaries of the grammar and primary teachers to $50 a month for the nine months term, their present salaries being $40 It is expected that the present rapid growth of the town will necessitate the hiring of at least two‘additional teachers, either at the present build ing or at the suggested new budding in Eastvlew . which is so badly needed The Board Is doing all In Its power to increase the efficiency of our splendid public school system. Its recent action In requiring the teachers to attend the county institutes, al lowing them $2 a day each for ex penses, is an earnest of their good intention in this respect. Prof. Purks came up Saturduy from West Point to be the guest for a few* days of Mr. C. W. Smith, and spent Monday and Tuesday at the public school building to study methods and conditions there. We bespeak- for him the cordial co-operation of the friends and patrons of the school. If the parents of Cedartown are wise enough to-operate with him. we shall have a good school. The Board has gone to unusually heavy expense to secure his services, and we hope to see our people fully sustain him. Chamberlain’* Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. There Is probably no medicine made that is relied upon with more Implicit confidence than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dur ing the third of a century In which it has been iu use, people have learned that it is the one remedy that never fails. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take.

Stimp8on, of Willimatic, Conn, who, after almost losing hope of re covery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Fo ley’s Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing” for him. as four bot tles cured him completely.
