Office: 2d Floor Peek Building, Fhones 138 and 1M, Cedartown, Ga. 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. THE THERMOMETER Will soon commence its downward journey, bringing calls for Warm Goods, And we have them. LATEST STYLES IN LA DIES’ COATS AND NEW DRESS GOODS. AND A FINE LINE OF SHOES. C. M. SAWYER & CO. 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.
