Beginning with a whole-aouled
welcome to our visitors on Tuesday
evening, June 27th, the homes of Ce
dartown will be thrown open to the
state gathering of the Children of the
Confederacy, which will hold its an
nual session here the 28th.
It will be a notable gathering, and
some of the features will be of great
public interest. The address on
Wednesday evening of Dr.Mcmming-
er,of Atlanta,will be one of the good
things that nobody should miss. He
is not only a polished speaker, but he
has delved deep into the truth of his
tory—and it is to preserve this truth
untarnished that is the object of the
Children of the Confederacy.

New Tea Room.
Miss Myrtice Cone is opening a
new place of entertainment which
will be very popular with the Cedar
town public ut her home about three
miles north of town. She has built
an attractive log cabin, which she
las fitted up as a tea room, and in ad-‘
dition to the usual service at such es
tablishments will serve chicken din
ners any day in the week from 6 to
8 o’clock on special orders.
Her announcement appears else
where in this issue.
Judge of the Superior Courts of the
Tallapoosa Circuit—a position in
which he is now most ably serving his
first term—is striking a responsive
chord throughout the Circuit, where
the people have learned to know and
honor him. Tho following are a few
of the good things heing said about
him by the newapapers, which in this
case certainly reflect the sentiments
of the people:—
It is with a degree of pleasure not
expressible by words that we an
nounce to our readers the fact that
tho Hon. F A. Irwin, of Cedartown,
will offer fur re-election as Judge of
the Tallapoosa Circuit. This grand
gentleman of Polk county has moro
than made good during his first term
of office, and we feel sure that the
people of the circuit will gladly re
turn him to office. We copy from
last week’s Cedartown Standard a
front page story referring to the
Judge, to which article wc wish to
say “Amen.”—Rockmart News.
Judge Irwin is serving his first term
on the Superior Court bench, and has
made an admirable record in fairly
and honorably administering the laws
of the state. He is a man above re
proach, and his friends and admirers,
who are legion, will rally to his sup
port.—Bremen Gateway.
Judge F. A. Irwin, of Cedartown,
has announced his candidacy for re-
election as Judge of the Superior
Courts of the Tallapoosa circuit.
Judge Irwin was elected to the office
four years ago when he defeated
Judge Bartlett, of Dallas. During
his tenure of office he has made a
large number of friends and backers,
who will doubtless rally to^his sup
port in the coming primary.—Talla
poosa Journal.
The Judge has made many friends
during his term of office; and with
hiB record to his credit, his judicial
temperument and pleasant manner of
mixing with the people, he will be
hard to beat. —Douglas County Sen
tinel.
Judge Irwin is just rounding out
his fourth year in this position, dur
ing which time he has made enduring
friendships by his fairness in the
court room. Judge Irwin is a man of
strong Christian character and is, as
everyone knows, eminently qualified
for the position he again seeks and
has so well filled. Judge Irwin has
earned the love and respect of the
people of the circuit, and they will
rally to his support in the September
primary.—Buchanan Tribune.
State School Superintendent M. L.
Brittain will not stand for re-
election, but will devote himself to
college or university work in order
to obtain relief from the constant
travel ami absence from home entail
ed by the duties of his present office.
He is one of Georgia’s leading educa
tors, and his decision will be received
with regret by all who arc interested
in education throughout the state.
Richard F. Willingham, former
prominent Macon capitalist, was last
week found guilty on one of fourteen
indictments against him for larceny
after trust growing out of the gigan
tic failure of his firm last year. He
was sentenced to one year at the
state farm, but his attorneys prompt
ly made application for a new trial,
and he was released under $2,000
bond.

E. P. BRIDGES.
which Hon. J. J. Brown is the able
hoad, visited Cedartown last Friday.
Many of Polk’s good farmers
bought the poison, and will see for
themselves just what it docs in con
trolling the boll weevil pest. Most
of our farmers, of course, “slept over
their rights” and missed the oppor
tunity offered by tho State to get
this valuable poison at actual cost.
If those good farmers who bought it,
however, will faithfully follow the di
rections given for its use, tho qnun-
tity used next year will be vastly
l»ger.
I Mr. .1. C. Mnncss, of the State En
tomological Department, says that in
South Georgia, where the weevil has
been working so much longer than
here, a car-load of the arsenate is
quickly taken by each county this
year. In North Goorgin, where wc
have thus far had only a little fore
taste of what the weevil can do, it
takes three or four counties to con
sume n car. The probability is that
next your, if the State Department
of Agriculture can arrange to repeat
its present wise program, there will
be ns strong demand for It here as in
South Georgia.
Mr. Mnness repeats wlint we have
heretofore quoted him in these col
umns as saying;—
"The federal and Htnte govern
ments and authorities have tested out
thoroughly and systematically every
means known to science or chemistry
in poisoning and controlling the boll
weevil, and have reached the follow
ing conclusion: First, we recom
mend nothing but calcium arsenate.
Other poisons will kill the weevil,but
will injure the plnnt. It should he
remembered that the weevil does not
belong to that class of bugs poisoned
by contact but to the class which cats,
has a mouth and must cat the poison
to be affected by it. This we have on
ly successfully accomplished by the
use of calcium arsenate. Sucond,wc
recommend only the uho of the cal
cium arsenate in the dust or powder
ed form. It should not be mixed
with water, molasses or anything
whatever, and only those machines
should be used suited to it as a pow
der. No boll weevil trap would be of
any benefit in destroying the weevil.”
Mr. Wm. Booth received a cable
gram Tuesday morning that the Mau
retania, on which his wife and Miss
Myrta Dodds sailed for Europe, had
made a safe passage in which it
broke ail records for speed.
CEDARTOW-ANNISTON HIGHWAY
Put on Government Map for Federal Aid—Al
lotment for Rockmart-Paulding Road.
The Standard has tho best of good I When this is done, all that will be
news to give to its readers this week, lacking on the great highway will be
Chairman J. K. Davis, of our!a short stretch between Yorkville
and Dallas in Paulding county, and it
is inconceivable that Paulding will
long allow herself to be deprived of
its advantages.
When Cedartown, Rockmart and
Piedmont became enthused a few
years ago over the proposed northern
route of the Bunkhead Highway,
many of our people felt that we had
wasted time and money when the of
ficial decision was given to the route
along the Southern Railway, and was
afterwards placed still further south,
but. the fact was developed that the
route through Dallas, Rockmart, Ce
dartown, Esom Hill, Borden Springs,
Piedmont and Anniston was the best
in grades and beauty of any of the
three—-and The Standard wants all
three of them to be built and to do
their share of service to the public.
We rejoice, however, “with an ex
ceeding groat joy” over the great
news that we can gi”e our readers
this week about our own highway,
and we congratulate our own County
Commissioners and those in Alabama
for the success of their excellent
work.
of
board of County Commissioners, re
ceived a message Monday that the
highway from Cedartown through
Esom Hill, Borden Springs and Pied
mont to Anniston, has been accepted
by the United States States Govern
ment as a part of its highway sys
tem, and has been “put on the map”
for Federal Aid.
The importance of this announce
ment can hardly be over-estimated
for this section as a business-builder
for the towns touched by it, tho far
mers along tho way, and tho thous
ands of tourists who will use it.
This highway will be the most
feasible automobile route between
Atlanta and Birmingham, and —
It will be the official route be
tween Camp McClellan at Anniston
and Ft. Oglethorpe at Chickamauga.
In addition to this good news, and
as an integral part of the plan for
the highway between Atlanta and
Birmingham, Chairman Davis also
had the good news that the Federal
Aid allotment has been made for
building the highway from Rockmart
to tho Paulding county line.
PAGEANTTODAY

COUNTY SINGERS
To Meet at Palace July
23d.
President S. H. Lewis, of the Polk
County Singing Association,has made
arrangements for the 1922 conten
tion to he held here at the Palace
Theater on Sunday, July 23d.
Thia is always a largely attended
and enjoyable occasion, and the an
nouncement of time and place will
be of widespread interest.
The Association was invited last
year to meet at Fish, and the change
to the Palace is made because it will
seat so many more people, keeping
them comfortable with electric fans
during the sessions.
For Chamber of Com
merce.
At the luncheon of the Kiwanis
Club last Friday at the Wayside Inn,
the organization of a live Chamber of
Commerce was discussed, and Mr. C.
I. Scarbrough, was appointed chair
man of a committee to report at the
luncheon tomorrow. And every Kl-
wanian should be Bure to attend this
meeting.
A pleasing feature of Friday’s lun
cheon was the enjoyable music fur
nished by the Versatile Four—Misses
Paula Peacock, Annie Neely Irwin,
Albert Allsman and Alma King, —
who delighted the company.
Can Connect Now.
I wish to correct an erroneous im
pression that has unfortunately
spread to some extent. Some people
along the new sewer lines think they
have to wait for some action by the
city authorities before they can make
connections.
The fact is that the city would be
glad to have every property-owner
make connection before the sewer
pipes are covered, as much labor and
expense are thus saved.Property-own-
ners cannot be too strongly urged to
make these connections as rapidly as
possible.

The bill of Senator W. J. Harris to
amend the Federal Warehouse Act so
as to broaden its provisions for all ag
ricultural products, and which re
cently passed the Senate, has receiv
ed the approval of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. The bill is-
now pending before the House Com-
I mittee on Agriculture, and Senator
Harris has asked the chairman for its
I early consideration. The quicker it
j it is passed the better for the farm-
[ ers of the entire nation.
