Bureau to Have Cedartown Kiwanis
Club as Guests.
• The farmers of Polk will combine
.business and pleasure next Wednea-
i d»y-
/ Mr. W. H. Garner, our efficient
. County A (tent, and the Farm Bureau
/ are arranging for a big Anti-Boll
* Weevil Meeting at Fish at 10 a. m.,
and they want every farmer and his
family in the county to pack a baa-
| r Vet of good things to eat and enjoy
! a big picnic dinner together.
The Farm Bureau, as a token of
appreciation of the good work done
by the Kiwanis Club of Cedartown in
i the recent bond election for good
. Voads, has invited the members to
' take dinner with them as their guests.
The invitation was duly presented at
L the Club’s luncheon Friday, and was
H* promptly accepted.
[
How boat to fight the boll weevil
will be discussed by farm experts, and
there is no question in which the
farmers of Polk are and should be
more interested. It is a matter of
vital importance to them, and it is
very much to their interest to hear
and heed all these prominent agricul
turists have to say about it.
There is going to be the biggest
kind of a crowd Wednesday at Beth
lehem church to hear these speeches
and to sample the cookery of Polk's
good housewives.
Be there, Brother Farmer, prepar
ed to loam all you can about the wee
vil and how to fight him. You can't
learn any younger, and the informa
tion is going to be of great vnluc to
you.

Remarkable Family.
Ill speaking of the recent visit to
Georgia of MaJ. Gen. P. C. Harris, of
Cedaitown, the Atlanta Georgian has
the following to say of the four dis
tinguished brothers, of whom the
General Is one:—
This is a rather remarkable fam
ily of Georgians.
Prof. James C. Harris, the oldest
brother, superintendent of the School
for the Deaf at Cave Spring—is one
of the most distinguished educators
in the United States. Not only did
he make a reputation that extended
throughout the nation ns superinten
dent of tho very excellent public
school system of Rome, but In his
present work at Cave Spring he has
become equally famous. You do not
see so much in the newspapers about
Prof. “Jim" Harris, but you will not
find a man in the least prominent or
well known in educational circles
who has not known of him for years,
Peter C. Harris, the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Army of the United
States, has had a career of steady
advancement in the service. Coming
out of West Point a second lieutenant
scarcely more than thirty years ago,
he has progressed steadily until he
has reached one of tho very highest
stations under the flag. IIo is known
throughout the nrmy as an officer of
remarkable efficiency.
United States Senator William J.
Hnrris, still a young man, served in
the Georgia Legislature most credi
tahly, was Director of the Census,
a member of the Federal Trade
Board and chairman thereof, during
part of which time he was acting Sec
retary of the Interior—he is now U
nited States Senator.
Dr. Seale Harris is one of the most
distinguished physicians in Alabama,
and is known throughout tho medical
profession of the South nnd East as
an eminent authority in his work.
It is rather remnrkablc that one
family should hnve produced four
such brothers.
Adamson is Treasurer
OF NEW STATE REPUBLICAN OR
GANIZATION.
At the call of the national organi
zation, a meeting of Georgia Repub
licans was held Tuesday in Atlanta to
wipe out the old organization and
“start over.”
Mr. J. L. Phillips, of Valdosta, was
made Chairman; and Hon. Chas. Ad
amson, of Ccdurtown, waH elected
Treasurer.
A new executive committee was
chosen, composed of 40 whites and 10
negroes.
Left For New York.
S. M. Jacob*, of the Jacob* Com*
pany, ha* left for the Northern mar
kets to secure an up-to-date line of
fall merchandise, such as dress goods,
clothing, shoes, hats and other wc
ing apparel. This company opened
their place of business here March
25th, and began to get * the lion’s
share of business by putting out new,
clean merchandise at low prices.
While not being able to secure larger
quarters yet, this did not stop them
from doing business in the little
store. It is the right prices that the
public is looking for. Not only Polk
county but from surrounding coun
ties people come for miles to trade at
pie Jacobs Company. The Standard
wishes the new enterprise great suc-
| cess. * •**

Firemen’s Trip to Florida^
We had a most enjoyablo visit to
Florida, arriving at Jacksonville July
!8th, all stopping at Hotel Seminole.
We had 20 in our party. Of course,
many of the boys hnd been there be
fore, but those of us who hnd never
visited Florida met pleasure on every
hand.
We chartered a sight-seeing bus,
which would carry 35 passengers. We
proceeded to St. Augustine,anil cross
ed the $2,500,000 bridge over the St.
John’s river. There Is only ono other
river in the world which flows north.
The first Interesting sight was the
old city gates, eroded by King Philip
of Spate in the 15th century.
That/ to uk! Ft. Marion, located on
Matanws Bay, which was very inter
esting. From the top of tho fort we
could sye the great light house, locat
ed on Anastasia. On a dark night, it
throws a light 25 miles.
Wo saw other Interesting points a-
bout the ancient city, such as tho old
Huguenot cemetery. Our guide look
us thoh to the Ponce de Leori Spring,
or Fountain of Youth, and there we
had a drink (spring water,of courso.)
Here Ponce do Loon’s monument was
left in the shape of a eroBS 15 stones
east and west nnd ISstonex north nnd
south, indicating date of landing
1513. He also put in his Christian
symbol of religion.
Wc nlso had n look at the oldest
house in America, which was built in
1565.
The old gates were built In 17-13.
Ft.rt Marion was started in 1065.
The narrowest street wc could find
was 6 feet 4 inches in width.

CANNING CLUB GIRLS ENJOY
OUTING.
Girls from All Over County Attend
Camp at Fultwood Springs.
"The beRt time I ever hnd,” wns the
expression heard from the 20 girls
who attended the Short Course and
Camp at Fullwood Springs Inst week.
The following are some of tho things
contributing lo the enjoyment of the
crowd: A cook room; of courso, this
is the most Important pari, of n camp,
and the cooks were the best ever,the
following among other things proved
to be a sure euro against homesick
ness—potatoes, benns. tomatoes,corn,
butter, bread, coffee, ham, cake, cus
tards. fried ch ; eken, pickles,prcRCiver.,
and canned stuffs galore; threo big
meals a day and fruit between. For
sleeping quarters, two large rooms
with hav for beds, which was kindly
donated by Mr. Dingier. Sleeping In
the hay was such a novolty to the
g'rls, that they could hardly wait for
night to come.
The girlH wore given instructions
in Canning, Sewing and Basketry.
Of course, wo didn't forgot recrea
tion, after the work wns finished. The
time was then devoted to playing
games, singing, and pleasures of all
kind. All courtesies possible were ex
tended by Messrs. Cason, Davis and
fanwlses—in fact, the whole commun
ity joined in making the girls hnve a
good time.

BILLIE SCHWARTZ
And His LaGrongersCom
ing Monday.
A little quiet here this week, isn’t
it?
Reason: No ball game!
But just look what’s coming!
Bill Schwartz and hia LnGrungcrs
will be here Monday, nml our fans
will sec three of the most exciting
games ever played in Cedartown.
Cedartown nnd LnGrnngc nre hot
rivals for the pennant now, and that
is going to be enough to make them
interesting.
And then,too, Schwartz started out
as Manager of the Cedartown team
before he went to LaGrange, and ev
erybody is going to want to sec “Old
Bill” in nc'ion jndrr his new sur
roundings, environments, et cetera
and so foi .h.
Our boys have been at Griffin this
week, nnd go to Carrollton today.
LnGrsngo Is here Monday, Tues
day nnd Wednesday.
Then next Thursday we go to Lln-
dale for threo gnrnes, and have no
mure games here until Lindalu pays
us a return visit Aug. 11th.
Carrollton's Visit.
Oh, joy! What a game that was
Thursday. Cnrrollton put up Reis,one
of her best pitchers, against our Var
danian, but Vardy put it over him in
great shape. Wc copped four runs in
the first inning—one of them a hom
er by Bindley, nnd the visitors could
n’t rally, though playing nlr-tight
hall. Tutlcr made a spectacular run
ning catch in loft field thut took the
crowd off its feet. Shaw got two 2-
baggers, Tucker a 2-bagger, and Si
mon both a 2- nnd 3-bagger. And
when it was ail over the score stood
6 to 1 in our favor,
Friday's game was rained out.
And there wns nothing dry about
Saturday’s exhibition, for wc plnyjd
a double-header and won both of
them.
The first was a beautiful game in
which Hawkins pitched for us and
Hathaway for Carrollton. Shaw nd
Kelton got 2-baggors. Score, 1 bo 0
in our fnvor.
Hathaway war put back In the box
for Carrollton In the second gnmo,but
two games In succession soon proved
too much for him. Vungrannu to>k
his place for a few minutes, and then
Wntson went in, but wc already had
a start of 9 runs. Lehman pitched a
fine game for us. Bradley, Shaw,
Simon, Suggs, Tucker and Lohm n
lined out 2-baggcrs, Tatler hit the
horsehair for 3, and Kelton got one
of his home runs. Double plays were
made by Shaw to Suggs, and Suggs-
Brndley to Kelton. The gnmc ended
with our piling up a score of 16 to 2
against the visitors.
Visiting Griffin.
Our team has boon spending throe
days this week in Gridin, and opened
'he series Monday in a game in whieh
neither side especially distinguished
itself, the score being 10 to 9 for
Griffin. Vardanian and Culp pitched
for us. Kelton harvested a 2-bagger.
We made 6 errors and Griffin 3.
Tuesday we got back into our win
ning clothes, and won 6 to 2, with
Hawkins in tile box for ua. Shaw
pounded out a 2-bagger and a homer,
and 3-bnggcrs were gathered in by
Tucker and Tatler. Each team had
only one error, and the game was u
“game” on both sidos.
How They Stand.
At noon yesterday the standing of
the. clubs wns ns follows:
Won Lost Pet
Cedartown II 3 .386
LaGrange — 8 6 .615
Lindale 6 5 .500
Griffin 6 9 .400
Rome 6 9 .400
Carrollton 5 10 .333
Naturally, there is moro to say by
all papers about puzzling pitchers and
“Pabe Ruth” w'llow-wleldera than the
other plnyers, but wc figure it thut
Cedar;.- wn now hns un all-star team.
Special mention should be made ev
ery once'in n while of our hard
working catcher, Carter. His is con
stant duty, six days in the week, and
to say he has made good U putting it
mildly, llis judgment in calling
bolls is excellent, and he doesn’t let
anything get by him.
Umpire Evans can’t suit everybody
—that goes as u matter of course.
But everybody recognizes the fact
that he both knows the game and is
earnestly trying to be absolutely im
partial. He would be the laRt man to
claim thut he never makes any mis
take?.
