The standard is heartily In favor of any movement which will make Cedartown really greater and better, and wants to Fee our present limits extended. Wc would be very glad to see nil the people who live within a reasonable radius come voluntarily within our city Irnlts, and thus avail themselves or our school faolllti *s, i ■ T. t | rotictlon, street Improvement*, sower, water and lights, and other municipal advantages, but we do not want them brought In against their wll!—even If It were possible to do so. Neither do we want to see a move ment pressed that might result In more harm than good to our growing city. It must be recognized that new In dustries seek sites where water Is easily obtainable und where they are exempt from city taxation. It will be remembered that In order to secure the location here of the Standard Mills—one of our most useful and valued Industries, it was necessary to cut h section out of our city limits to give them this tax exemption, and this was done by popular vote with only two adverse ballots cast; and Cedartown has never had any reason regret her bargain. The cotton and knitting mills und the box factory on the hunks of Big Cedar, are out side tho corporate limits without special provision In their behalf. And It is on the banks of Big Cedar that other industries must locate when they come—as we hope and have good rea son to believe they will. Furthermore, If put beyond the proposed mile limit, It would place them too far from our business section for advantageous lo cution at present. Everybody knows the vast benefit Cedartown has derived from her big manufacturing plants, and our people should do some careful figuring be fore they attempt anything which will drive away instead of securing new industries. We would rather have "Greater Ce dartown" In the amount of capital In- zested and the number of people act ually living and trading here, than to have it In the shape of extended cor porate limits—much as we would like see that also. it Is possible that on investigation the authors of the movement, may find that the mile limit would take In more farm property in some directions than would be profitable for the city to i for, and more than they could possibly offer compensating ad- antages in return. A study of the map of the territory affected shows that It may be best to approach the matter In a spirit of Intelligent com promise. All parties interested, .of course, should and will have an opportunity to be heard. We want to annex our suburbs within reasonable limits ns far and as fast as they are willing to come In, but do not want to attempt to force them in. We are anxious to have a really "Greater Cedartown," and nb mis take should be made as- to the best method of securing it. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. The Georgia Anti-saloon League is actively circulating petitions through out the state asking the Legislature to provide for an election in which every voter can say at the ballot box whether we shall have "Saloons" or "No Saloons" in Georgia. Mrs. C. K. Henderson, of Cedar town, Is a W. C. T. U. representative on the State Board of Trustees of this rapidly growing movement. The Rome Herald wants tho Floyd county dispensary moved off from the , Hill City’s main street. But wouldn’t that be pretty tough on some side street? You can’t make a better Investment for the small amount of money it takes than to keep your buildings well painted. It preserves the prop erty and then, too, It looks 10 much better. Mrs. McKinley, widow of the mar tyred president, died at home in Can ton, O., Sunday at 1.30 o’clock after a lingering illness. She was afflicted practically all her life, and was the object of President McKinley’s de voted attention throughout their union. The heart of the nation bows in at her bier. COMPULSORY EDUCATIONAL TAX. The Atlanta Journal calls attention to the fact that Georgia U appro prlatlng only a third as much as most of the other states, and says; "In studying this situation we must dismiss from our minds every element of false pride and look the facts squarely in the face. It is a statistical fact, according to the figures of the lust Federal census, that the states which constituted the Southeru Con federacy while furnishing only twenty- four per cent of the population of the country as a whole, furnished six ty-four per cent of all the white Il literates over ten years of age to be found In the United States. This la a simple statement of an unfortunate fact, and ther,? Is no need to attempt to disguise it. The duty which rests upon us is to remedy It." As a remedy, the Journal proposes a compulsory tax of $o u year on every voter and property-owner In Georgia, to be collected lr. either cash or work, for local school purposes In addition to the regular ad valorem tax. Certainly something must be done to stem thr? tide of Illiteracy in Geor gia. ENDORSES OUR POSITION. Rev. N. Beecher Mathcs, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church her but now of Euharlce. udds the follow ing note to the many words of com mendation The Standard has received on Its editorial in favor of prohibi tion last week:— • Messrs. Russell & Coleman: — I never felt as much like giving you an extra warm grasp of the hand ns when I read your recent article on State Prohibition, lu which you com mitted yourselves unequivocally to the great cause of Tetfiperance, which has engaged the attention or the noblest men and women of our coun try for a generation past. May every right-thinking man and woman In Polk county join you in your fight for right. And may the time soon come when K. M. Rose and his gang of law-breakers shall be put out of business and every blind tiger throttled. I enclose subscript font for The Standard for another year. It was always a good paper, but I think It Is now better than ever. Sincerely yours, for better condi tions, N. B. MATHES." More NVwh from the Mew England rttatf*. If any one has any doubt as to the virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stlmpson, of Wfllimatic, Conn, who, after almost losing hope of re covery, on apeount 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. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. E. Bradford. niton WINGS BUDGET. The prospect for a cotton crop Is somewhat discouraging in the greater portion of our section on account of bad stands. Mr. Bob Hutcheson and Miss Nan nie Ingram were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Sunday at the home of Esquire Tibbltts. The couple being among our highly re spected and most promising young people, we wish for them a pleasant Journey through life. Preaching and ulto the Sunday School and missionary society were well attended at County Line last Sunday. Mr. P. II. Coplan visited hbme folks In Rome the first of this week. Mrs. N. V. Paris returned home last week, after a few days visit with relatives near Dallas With best wishes to the Standard and its many readers. Header. Sore Nipph'ci. Any mother who has had experience with this distressing ailment will be pleased to know that a cure may be effected by applying Chamberlain's Salve as soon as the child is done nursing. Wipe it off with a soft cloth before allowing the babe to nurse. Many trained nurses use this salve with best results. For sale by E. Bradford.

The Endless PrayCr Chain fraud which has been circulating all over the country, deluding a lot of good people and attributed to Bishop Law rence, Is not worthy of the thoug'it of any intelligent Christian or Protes tant. It is a perfect example of the life less system of prayer against which Luther and the other great Reformers of the Sixteenth Century fought an 1 freed themselves of. to their great glory. Wm. Lawrence, Protestant Episco pal Bishop of Massachusetts, does not know anything about this "Chain,"nor as to why it has been promulgate! in his name. He requests all who re ceive them to destroy them. And now, good people who have sent out this "Prayer Chain." kiudly inform your friends of this fraud so that this harmful fake may be brought to an end, and hereafter be ware of "spiritual benefits" obtained in such fashion. ALEX L. BROOKS. Cedartown, May 27. Chambprlain'n Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Hemedjr. 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 in use, people have learned that it is the one remedy that never falls. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take. For sale by E. Bradford. Mr. J. P. Billingsley bas moved back from Talladega, Ala., to Esom Hill. He spent Saturday in Atlanta. A Narrow Escape. G. W. Cloyd, a merchant, of Plunk, Mo., had a narrow escape four years ago, when he ran a jimson bur into his thumb. He says: "The doctor wanted to amputate it but I would not consent. I bought a box of Buck- len’s Arnica Salve and that cured the dangerous wound." 25c at E. Brad ford’s, Druggist. When a boy wants a favor from his parents he asks his father's per mission and tells his mother he is going to do it. Notice ot First Meeting ot Creditors.
