BIG FIRE AT BARTOW
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
Cotton Warehouses With
2,000 Bales of Cotton and
One Store Burned. Loss Es
timated at $130,000.
Tlire warehouses filled with cotton
were destroyed by fire of undeter
mined origin in Bartow Friday
morning. The loss has been estimat
ed at si3o 000.
A night watchman, who saw a
dicker of ame about 2:00 o'clock in
the morning in the warehouse own
ed by C. S. Bryant, investigated,
thinking that gamblers were inside.
Instead, lie found the building in
Haines. An alarm was sounded, but
(ire fighters were unable to save
the property.
The allies spread to the cotton
warehouse of Smith Bros., which
was near, then swept on to Smith
Bros, guano plant that adjoins. A
car on the railroad track which was
loaded with cotton was soon in
flames. Just across the track a two
story wooden building owned by
Mr. John McMillan and occupied by
Mr. Ralph Malone, soon caught on
fire, and it, too, was destroyed,
though Mr. Malone was able to sa\c
some of his goods. In addition to
the buildings that were totally de
stroyed and the 1,200 or more hales
of cotton that were lost, the ex
treme heat did severe damage to
other buildings. The handsome plate
glass windows in the department
store owned by Smith Bros, were
broken by the heat. We understand
that loss done in the cotton ware
houses was covered by insurance
hut that certain other property was
uninsured.
Two of the warehouses were the
property of the Bartow Gin and
Warehouse Company, those contain
ing 715 hales of cotton. The third
warehouse was the property of the
Bartow Investment Company, and
contained 504 hales of cotton.
COTTON shipped to BAT

Cotton Factors of Savannah,

Macon Convention Passes
Without A Single Mishap;
Walker Formally Nominated
Simmons of Gwinnett Tries
to Force Nominations for
Senator But is Given Scant
Attention.
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO
SEW. THOS. E. WATSON
Primary Set on Date Picked
by the Vereen Committee;
Recess Had Until October
28th.
(Ity JOHN W. HAMMOND)
Macon, Ga., Oct. I—There wasn’t
in outstanding feature of real im
portance to the Walker state con
vent ion here Wednesday, unless it
could have been found in the rather
weak effort of Major Simmons, ot
Gwinnett, to get through a conven
tion nomination for the vacant of
fices, by blocking the primary al
most, if not quite universally de
manded.
Major Simmons attempted to
prove to the convention that there
is not time in which to comply with
the provisions of the Neill primary
law; that the necessary primaries
can't he held unless the run-off pri
mary for senator shall come after
the day of the general election, but
he convention was by no manner
of means willing to give the Major
hearing, much less to follow his
line of reasoning.
In fact, there was not a dissent
ing voice when Hie resolution by Mr.
M. H. Ledford was proposed, fix
ing; the same primary dates as those
announced by the old convention on
the twenty-eighth. 'The wheels were
greased in advance, and that went
through without a jar beyond the
major's mild effort. The same res
olut ion elected Elisha W. Jordan,
an “officer of Ibis convention” sole
ly for the purpose of having him
receive the fees and qualification
papers for'candidates in the primary
for Fnited States senator and for
pension commissioner, to arrange
the details for holding the two pri
maries. for receiving and compiling
the election returns and reporting
them to the convention on the 28th.
in order that there may be no legal
complication, which it is feared
would follow anything like.a sin*?
die adjournment at this time. Short
ly after four o'clock the convention,
after electing anew enlarged execu
tive committee, adopted a resolution
to recess until ten o’clock the morn
ing after the 28th.
The net result of the day's work
was the election of G. Ed Maddox,
of Borne, as the slate chairman;
Mrs. Anderson as the state secre
tary, with Hiram L. Gardner, of
Hatonton, and F. F. Middlebrooks,
as asistants, the burden of the work
in the convention falling upon Mr.
Gardner.
Convention In Session
The convention was called to or
der by Tobe Daniels, of Troup
county, a member of the old state
committee, after he had asked if
Chairman W. J. Vereen was pres
ent. Prayer was offered by Rev. W.
H. Crowder, of Macon, and the con
vention at once proceeded to busi
ness.
N. F. Culpepper, of Meriwether,
was elected temporary chairman,
and, in his keynote speech, review
ed the history of the democratic
party, and its ups and downs
through the ages. He offered the
prophecy that it will outlive the
present republican party, as it has
all others, because the republicans
are founded on unsound principles.
He referred to the spasmodic rise
and fall of the Bull Moose party as
an ofTshoot of republicanism, and
likened it to the populist party in
this state, which later was absorb
ed hv the democrats. In the course
of the review, lie paid tribute to the
late Thomas K. Watson, and inspir
ed the first and most applause of
the convention:
It was easily taken that Mr. Cul
pepper's speech was a forecast of
what Governor Walker’s policy will
he, the principal feature of the
speech in that respect being that he
has never known the legislature to
make extravagant appropriations,
hut rather, with an insight into the
needs of the state institutions, lie
would rather term them big-hearted.
What the state needs most, lie said,
is more money, and the sole way to
gel it is by taxation, which demands
a revision of the entire present tax
system. The unpaid pensions, he
said, arc a moral obligation on the
stale, and must he paid, lie classed
the state’s needs as schools first,
roads next, and the state's proper
charities in order. He expressed the
hope that some fair and equitable
form of taxation may ho revised by
the next legislature, ns lie fore
casted it will lie, and that it will he
enforced by the incoming gover
nor.
Starve the 801 l Weevil
Mr. Culpepper said, viewing the
economic situation as a whole, the
greatest need of the state and the
nation now is to starve the boll
weevil to death, and on that line he
eulogized Senator K. I). Smith, of
South Carolina, more highly than
was tribute paid to any other man
in the convention. He asked that
this state back up Senator Smith in
his demand upon the federal de
partment to find a remedy, and ex
pressed the conviction that congress
should take the regulatory measures
in hand even to the extent of pro
hibiting the planting of cotton long
enough to starve the boll weevil.
A resolution was ottered hv Kr
ncst Camp, of Monroe, to repudiate
the action of the old state commit
tee in postponing the convention.
But it was ruled out of order for

, democratic nominee for governor of
Georgia, ill his speech of acceptance
before the state convention.
!he nominee pleaded for stale
wide cooperation with the slate bu

declared is the surest and safest
way hack to normalcy and prospe

viiicc of the people has committed
us to its repeal.” He called on all
members of the incoming legislature

carefully and make suggestions for

Taking a sharp rap at professional
lobbying in the slate capitol, the
next governor promised to throw
the light of publicity “on all graft

was particularly severe in his de
nunciation of “a well known perni

headquarters in the Kimball House.”
“I am gratified,” he went on, “that

outrageous and powerful lobby. I
'believe the next legislature will fin

pierce Walden, one of the owners
of the mill, died shortly after
reaching the I’nivcrsity Hospital.
His injuries consisted of a broken
jaw hone, broken thigh, right arm
broken, left arm badly lacerated and
scalded over a major portion of the
Lmtiy .
The others who were working at
the plant at the time of the ex
plosion received injuries, but M is
not thought that any of them arc
injured seriously.
The result of the explosion, it
was said, resulted in the safety valve
of the boiler sticking.
'The following are the names of
the persons injured, and the nature
of their injuries: All of the injur
ed arc negroes except the Rhodes
hoy:
George Mills, scalded; Charley
Mat I hews. bruised and scalded:

ed that at the moment of the ex
plosion the boiler shot upward to
the tree-tops and fell on a pile of
lumber 15 feet from ils base. 'The
fireman was the only man not se
riously hurt by the falling iron and
timber or scalded by the live steam.
A negro who was hauling logs lo
the mill was the next to reach the
scene. His description of what he
saw is very graphic, stating that
dust and water vapor completely bid
everything from bis view, and the
only thing that broke the death
like stillness was the howling of a
dog that had been scalded. In a
few moments, the negro stated that
the ones who were not dead or fa
tally injured rose lo their feel and
began running, some of them jump
ing in a creek nearby, others run
ning aimlessly about screaming for
help.
According to reports from Wrens,
last night, the scene beggars de
scription. Kverything about the
plant was wrecked; even the saw
frame was blown out of position.
The heavy “idler” pulley was hurl
ed a distance of a hundred feet.
The hats worn by the workmen were
blown into strings and pieces of
them can he seen clinging to tree
tops. The surrounding trees and
piles of lumber are spattered with
blood of the victims.
