The Daughters of Confederacy in
Georgia are" doing much to advance
the educational, historical and pat
riotic interests of t.ie state, and the
recent convention in Augusta Hliowed
their work along all these lines.
The Cedartown representatives,
Mosdamcs W. 9. Coleman and G. 8.
Borders, were delightfully entertained
while there, and report an enjoyable
meeting socially flfld In every other
way.
The Standard has been roiiueated Cedartown, and this
to publish some facts reported by the
delegation from the locul chapter,
giving information to those who
could not go to Augusta.
Tlie Daughters conferred last year
in Georgia 724 Crosses of Honor, and
"AH Saints' Day," Nov. 1st, and "Jef
ferson Davis Day,” June 3d, are
hereafter to be observed and in ad
dition to other special days, Crosses
may be bestowed on old veterans
on these two dajs.
The badge or pin of the Daugh
ters should he worn only as a de
coration or token of membership in
tho order, and not as a clothes or
hairpin. Many owners abuse this
badge of honor by bodily use, for
getting that the state laws go so far
as to make it a misdemeanor to so
pervert this insignia.
The monument to Maj. Wirz, the
military commander of Andersonville
prison during, tho war, will he lo
cated at that plase, the Augusta con
vention (I finitely deciding that long-
dlscusstd ’problem. It Is to bo a
$2,r>oo marble shaft. d
The Rabun Gap school is a benefi
ciary of tlio Daughters’ bounty, and
their dormitory for girls is progress
ing finely. Cedartown chapter hah
contributed regularly to this noble
work.
"A Home for the Old Women of
the Confederacy,” iu probably tlie next
special work if the Daughters in
Georgia. Mrs. Helen Plane, the
honorary state j r s'.dett, has launched
the movement, and some day a home
for aged and helpless Confederate
widows will be built in this state
by theso patriotic women.
Miss Alice Baxter, of Atlanta, was
elected president, and the state con
vention w.ll meet next yen- m Sav

SCHOOL NOTICE.
At
ecent meeting of that body
the Board of Education of Polk
county passed a resolution provid
ing that the public school term may
begin either Nov. 18th or Nov. 25th,
and continue five months unless other
wise ordered by'the Board, with one
week’s vacation for Christmas. Oth
er holidays are to be observedc by ap
propriate exercises in the schools.
Programs for tho observance of
Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28th, Arbor
Day, Dec. 6th, and Georgia Day,
Feb. 12th. have already been mailed
to the teachers.
The Board requires also that all
public school teachers, both principals
and assistants, who do not hold a
teacher’s license issued by this
county, or a first grade license is
sued from another county of this
state, take a special examination In
this county before beginning work as
public school teachers. I will give
special examinations for the conven
ience of such teachers at my of
fice on Saturday, Nov. 16, and also
Nov. 23d. Teachers who expect to
teach in this county on license issued
from another county are required to
present their license on one of the
above named dates for approval and
record.
Very respectfully,
J. E. LOVVORN.
County School Commissioner.
Col. W. E. Christian, for several
Years the popular Assistant General
Passenger Agent in Atlanta of the
Seaboard Air Line, has resigned
his position to accept a connection
with a New York financial institution.
He is succeeded by Mr. J. J. Pul
ler, who has been with the Seaboard
in Philadelphia for some time. Mr.
Puller spent some time in Cedartown
as the successor of Mr. W. L. Wood-
row in the traffic management of
this division of the Seaboard, and
has many friends here who congrat
ulate him on his position. .»
The find duty of a bank is to its
depositors, for their deposits are in
the nature of trust funds. Its sec
ond duty Is to its stockholders, who
have invested their money in the en
terprise, and its third obligation Is to
its patrons and the publ.c at large.
The banks of the country have
very, generally taken tnio view of the
matter, and have handled the diffi
cult situation resulting from the re
cent panic in accordance therewith.
Never was the streng h aid stability
of the banking institutions of the
country better demons r. t d than dur
Ing the past two week/, and It wat
In full accordance with the three du
ties above nient oner—o depositors,
stockholders and the public—that
nioLt of the banks of tin country
have Issued clearing house certificates
to tide over the currency famine. Our
excellent banks here in Cedartown
have not felt the necessity for such
action, but have continued to hand
out currency freely. The Atlanta
clearing house certif.calis are accept-
as full legal tender by our banks
and business houses, and are prov
ing a valuable aid in relieving the sit
uation.
Probably nowhere in tho South
have the banks undertaken to do as
much for the farmer by advancing]
money on cotton as right here In
fact is gen- |
erally appreciated. Long after banks !
elsewhere ceased to loan money on
cotton—or much of anything else, I
for that matter,—on account of the
scarcity of currency and the neces
sity of protecting their depositors,
our banks have been able to extend
accommodations, and our local pay
rolls have all been In currency. This
!h certainly a splendid showing for
these strong Institutions.
The Cedartown Farmers’ Union
at its meeting Saturday decided to
recommend the l83u.uice of local clear
ing house certificates, but In view of
the brightening financial situation
throughout the country it was deem
ed unnecessary to resort to that ex
pedient as yet. The New York banks
rapidly building up their re
serve to the legal requirements, and
as soon as this is done the shipment
of currency to tho South and West
will commence on an adequate scale,
and iho money market will resume
normal conditions.
[’here is Just as much money In
i country as there ever was, and
! slien-like l imic i t ,Nu\v York
following the fd.ure of tho big cop
per speculator, Ileinz was without
good reason. The ban! s^o^course,
have been obliged to keep their funds
subject to the call of the depositors,
and this has creatid a scarcity of
circulating medium.
Advices from the money centers in
dicate a mo: t gr.it.tying brighten
ing of condilions, and we hope to see
plenty of money turned loose very
soon for handling the cotton crop In
a satisfactory manner. It Is indeed
fortunate that the Farmers’ Union and
planters generally were holding their
cotton, for if it had been rushed on
the market as usual the panic would
doubtless ha*e forced the prices to
a much lower level.
If you want to help the situation—
and every patriotic ci then should try
to do this,—put your moii.y prompt
ly in the banks, and pay your bills
by checks, just a3 business men gen
erally do.

OBITUARY.
Died, at her home three miles from
Cedartown, on Nov. 8th, Miss Tab-
itha Adams. She was one of the fin
est Christian characters I ever knew,
gentle as a lamb and never wearied
doing good for her family and friends.
She had helped to raise her brother’s
orphaned children, and her death was
like the death of their own mother.
All was done that could be done for
her, but God wanted her to come
and receive her crown of glory for
the good she has already done. Don't
weep for her, dear brother and sis
ters and neices and nephew, for she
will he one of the bright.'sts angels
in heaven.
Time, like an ever soothing stream,
Bears all Its daughters away..
They fly remembered ns a dream
Dies at the opening day.
