about this movement that means so
much to them.
THE COUNTY FAIR
A good start was made Thursday
on the County Fair, to be held in Ce
dartown this fall, for the best kind of
a good start is to get the right men

admirably in this respect, and the suc
cess of the Polk County Fair for
1922 is assured from the outset.
At the meeting held here Thursday
the following excellent officers were
elected:—
Prest.—C. H. Graves.
Vice Prest. and chairman Woman’s
Work—Mrs. G. S. Borders.
Sec. and Treas.—Wm. Janes.
And now' let’s gol
Let every farmer and business man
in every section of the county, and
the Kiwanis Club and the Chambers
of Commerce of Cedartown and
Rockmart get busy and “put some
pep” into the Fair project.
It isn’t fair for three or four
have to do all tho work of the Fair,
which is held for the benefit of all.
Let all pull together and make
1922 a banner Fair year for Polk.

town National Farm Loan Associa

WITHHOLD NOT GOOD:—
Withhold not good from them t
whom it Is due, when It Is In th
power of thine hand to do It—Prov
erbs 3: 27.
No one has more at stake in this
matter than the farmers’ families,and
every good farmer’s wife should see
to it that her husband gets there and
that she goes with him. Bring the
boys and girls along—and don’t for
get that basket.
There has never been a movement
started in the South whose success
means as much to the farmers as this.
It is modeled on the plan that snved
the farmers of California from ruin,
and it is much easier managed with a
product like cotton than with perish-
ble stuff.
Don’t fail to hear Mr. Dean and
other speakers explain the details of
the plan Saturday at Fish, and spend
a profitable day together.
THE COAL STRIKE
Is Now Over, but Rail
Strike More Acute
After having reduced the country
to the stago of a coal famine, tho coal
miners huve finally consented to
buck to work.
Incidentally, they get nothing that
they could not have obtained by
pcuceful negotiations when they
went on strike April 1st, and are out
of pocket over four months pay.
Also incidentally, the mine owners
have had a profitable summer shut
down, for the public is going to have
to pay heuvily for the coal shortage
resulting from the strike.
Also and likewise incidentally, the
strikers huve to bear the odium of
the Herrin niussacre, which it will
take the mine workers a long time to
get over.
The miners need a leadership which
has some more intelligent idea than | their visit should do much good here,
that of brute force.
The rail strike continues, and is
ndered more acute by the disposi
tion of trainmen to leave their jobs
n some sections of the country on
the ground that they object to troops
guarding the railroad properties and
because they claim the shop service is
not efficient. Out in Arizona a crew
left a train at a desert station, caus
ing greut suffering to helpless women
and children. Such a thing could not
happen in Georgia, of course.
The whole matter hinges —as it
has for about three weeks—on the
question of seniority, the railroads
insisting that it is their right and du
ty to retain men who have enabled
them to keep running during the
strike, and the strikers insisting that
they be allowed to walk back with
xactly the same standing as when
they walked out.
President Harding has made vari
ous suggestions of settlement, but
both sides have rejected them, and he
will now put the matter before Con
gress. It is difficult to see, however,
how Congress can make men work a-
gainst their will, or how it can com
pel the railroads to discharge em
ployees they wish to keep. There
will have to be yielding somewhere,
however, or a general break-down of
transportation is possible.
The big roads of the country had
men ready to take the place of the
striking Shopmen, and it is more
than likely they have them ready to
also take the places of others who
may walk out—In fact, they would
be well pleased to see this happen;
but the situation is bad, for those
roads and sections like the Southeast,
where the management and em
ployees have always gotten along
well together, and where no provision
has been made for taking the places
of those who walk out.
GOES TO AUSTRIA
SENATOR HARRIS IS MEMBER OF
INTERPARLIAMENTARY
UNION.
Senator Wm. J. Harris sniled Sat
urday from New York with the other
delegates from the American Con
gress as Representatives at the Inter
parliamentary Union, meeting in Vi
enna, Austria, from Aug. 27th to
30th. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Harris and daughter, Miss Julia.
Senator Harris expects to return
nbout Oct. 1st. While away from the
Senate he is paired with Senator
Spencer, Republican,Missouri, and he
has a pair with Senator Calder, Re
publican, of New York, in case the
bonus legislation! and the Ford offer
for Muscle Shoals comes up before
he returns.
The appointment of Senator Har
on this important duty is indeed
high honor to him and to the State
he so ably represents.

A Slight Decrease.
“Votes for wimmen” gives Polk a
large increase in polls this year, the
law assessing the tax against them
whether they register and vote
not. The total poll tax for 1922
listed at $5,649, a gain of $2,858.
Our board of Tax Equalizers and
Tax Receiver J. W. Hunt have com
pleted ther work, and Polk shows
aggregate value of taxable property
(aside from the public utility corpor
ations) of $7,794,949. This is $344,-
082 less than last year, but is a good
showing considering the slump
through which we have just passed.
A
Big New Store.
The new clothing store of Scar
brough & Hamrick is now open to the
public, as will be Reen from their page
announcement in this issue of The
Standard—and ns you will see at

dartown boy who started his mercan

Scarbrough came here from Middle
Georgia five years ago, and has won
