Monday was Farmers’ Union Day In
Cedartown!
And likewise the Business Men’s
Day!
In pursuance to the call issued by
President A. A. Pittman, of the Polk
County Farmers' Union, a moss meet
ing of the Union men was held Mon
day in the Court House behind closed
doors, at which there were present
over three hundred and fifty bona
fide members In good standing In
the order—the largest gathering of
active members ever held In Polk.
The Union Warehouse in Cedartown
Is situated at West avenue and Ware
house street, and the farmers made
this the rallying point of the day. Af
ter about sixty bales of cotton were
stored, the Union men fell into line
by twos, each one having on a rib
bon badge on which was printed
Farmers' Union.” They marched out
West avenue and down Main street to
the Court House three hundred and
fifty strong, and the demonstration
commented on by all In view of
the pretty weather when all the farm
ers are busy gathering their crops.
The fact that they took the time to
some here at a loss and Inconvenience
shows that the farmers are deeply a-
roused In their efforts to secure the
best price possible for their chief pro
duct.
The meeting was held for the pur
pose of considering the prevailing con
ditions of the cotton market In Ce
dartown and to arouse Interest In the
success of the Union Warehouse here.
The utmost harmony and perfect
unity prevailed, and the farmers show
ed the warmest enthusiasm In their
determination to see that the best
could be done to better the local cot
ton market In every way possible.
Whether right or wrong, the farmers
have believed for years that they
have not received all that they should
have gotten for their cotton from
the wagon, and their meeting Mon
day was to devise ways and means to
remedy the prevailing status of af
fairs.
Then, too, the Farmers’ Union has
invested Its money In two warehouses
which they rented here and In Rock-
mart, and they desired to enlist the
aid and friendly co-operation of our
business men and merchants In mak
ing this business venture of the farm
ers a success. The farmers Insist
that If they get the full price of
the current market, or can obtain the
figure of 15 cents as set by the
Union At Little Rock. Ark., they will
have just that much more money to
spend with all lines of trades and
benefit general conditions In Just that
measure.
As It Is well known. The Standard
has opened Its columns to the Farm
ers’ Union—many of whose members
are Its life-long subscribers—for such
contributions in behalf of the great
and growing organization ns might
be desired by the Union or its friends
Postmaster John I. Fullwood has been
writing some pointed articles over his
own signature on the local and gen
eral situation, and on this account
both The Standard and Mr. Fullwood
have been sharply criticized in some
particular quarters. The big gather
ing of Union men gave a' unanimous
rising vote of thanks to The Stand-
a:\I ,.jC Mr. Fullwood for their course
in the matter, heartily endorsing their
positions.
The farmers of Polk entertain the
kindest of feelings towards the mer
chants of Cedartown, and os they
have always maintained the most
agreeable and satisfactory relations,th
Farmers’ Union resolved to Invite the
business men to co-operate with them
In their efforts to solve the knotty
problem before them.
A committee of five prominent
farmers and citizens, who are lead
ing members of the Union—A. A.
Pittman, W. 0. M. Simmons, J. 8.
Davltte, J. I. Fullwood and J. M. Mc
Kinney—were appointed to request tl a
presence of tho business men of Ce
dartown at a conference with the farm
ers at 3 o'clock in the Court House,
and to serve with a like committee of
business men In considering the best
means of solving the cotton problem.
The invitation was promptly accept
ed, and the Joint mass meeting was
presided over by Dr. P. M. Rhodes, of
Taylorsville, who stated the object of
the meeting.
The situation was freely discussed,
the business men expressing the great
est sympathy for the farmers and
the bankers pledging themselves to
loan money on the warehouse receipts
for cotton to the limit of safety and
prudence.
It was a veritable love-feast between
farmer and merchant, banker and Un
ion man.
The following resolution was offer
ed by J. 8. Davltte and unanimously
adopted by a rising vote: —
"Resolved. That it is the sense of
this convention of the merchants, busi
ness and professional men, bankers
and farmers assembb U at Cedartown,
on tho 21st of October that it is a mor
al duty we owe our city, county uud
*Htate and ourselves to use our best
efforts to secure 15 cents per pound
for the present crop of cotton.”
Accepting the advance made by the
Union, the business men appointed a
like committee of J. S. Stubbs, chair
man, C. A. Wood. E. S. Ault, A. E.
Young ami E. B. Russell, to co-op
erate with the Farmers' Union com
mittee of five, and their first meet
ing was held at the Commercial Bank
on Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock.
JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Joint Committee adopted a res
olution that it was the desire of both
the business men and the Farmers’
Union that our farmers get 15 cents
for their cotton, and that everything
possible be done by all concerned to
secure the highest market-price.
In order to be absolutely certain
that Cedartown is paying the highest
possible price for cotton, it was decid
ed on motions of Messrs. Fullwood
and Wood that the Union should join
with our cotton buyers in securing
dally market reports, which shall be
posted In the store of the Cedartown
Supply Co. for the Inspection of our
farmers and the public generally.
The action of the committee was
thoroughly harmonious, and its mem
bers are deeply Interested In the wel
fare of both the farmer and Cedar
town, each being so largely depend
ent on the other. Further action
of this Important committee will be
reported from time to time.

JUDGE JOHN W. AKIN DIES.
Georgia lost one of her purest and
best men in public life last Friday
when Judge John W. Akin died. He
had been suffering from an attack
of the grip when his left side be
came paralyzed, and death relieved
the sufferer from his pain. A pe
culiarly sad incident connected with
his demise was the death of his
aged mother the day before, and the
funerals of the two occurred Sunday
in Cartersville.
Judge Akin was president of the
Georgia Senate, and had previously
served as a member of the House of
Representatives from Bartow county.
He was a ripe scholar, an able law
yer, a brilliant author and an elo
quent speaker. A large army of
friends all over the state, and espe
cially In North Georgia, keenly re
gret his untimely end.
lion. Wm. Jennings Bryan, the
Great Commoner, was an honored
guest of Georgia at the State Fair
in Atlanta Saturday, and received a
magnificent ovation. The State Dem
ocratic Convention at Macon and the
Seventh District Congressional Con-,
vention at Chlckamauga last year both
unanimously endorsed Mr. Bryan fpr
the Presidential nomination In 1903,
and there is every indication that he
will again be the Democratic stand
ard-bearer next year. Certain It Is,
he is the greatest American in private
life today, and insofar as President
Roosevelt has achieved popularity
with the masses It has been through
his adoption of the policies advocat
ed by Mr. Bryan.
