124 UNITS
ARE WANTED
That Many County Votes
For Governor of
Georgia.
It will require at least 124 unit
votes to win in the gubernatorial pri
mary on December 7 if the three can
didates run neck and neck, and that
is not probable. The winner will, no
doubt, have to go above 150. Under
the apportionment of representatives
in the lower house of the legislature,
there are 184 members, and each conn-1
ty will be entitled to two votes for
each representative it will have in
he next general assembly, not the pre
sent one, the 1911 reapportionment
governing in the gubernatorial pri
mary. That will mean 368 unit votes.
Six counties will have six votes each,
26 will have four votes each, and the !
remaining 114 two votes each. Fulton, ;
Chatham, Richmond, Bibb, Floyd and i
Muscogee are the six-vote counties.
The following list of counties shows ,
the unit vote each will have in the ,
primary. ,

The first American newspaper; the
first newspaper published in Ameri

was called Publik Occurances and it
j appeared in Boston September 25.
1690. Publik Occuranes started out
well. It promised to print all the
news without fear or favor and to pro
mote the interests of Boston. It also
I promised that in its next issue it
would publish the names of all the
bars in Boston. The authorities, tak
ing cognizance of the threat, perem
torilv forbade the publication. So
Publik Occurances gave up in dis
gust and died because the authorities,
then as'now. disapproved of the pub
lication of unpleasant truths.
THE DALTON ARGUS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1911.
ENGLISH
SPINNERS
COMING
MAY PUT UP GINS AND COM
PRESSES IN THE SOUTH.
WHY THEY ARE TO 00 SO
Want the Right Sort of Cotton and
in Just Such Bales as Would Save
Them Time and Money.
Representing the spinners of Man
chester, A. L. Hart, publisher of the
Manchester Guardian, a daily paper
chiefly devoted to the cotton trade of
that center is in Georgia. His mis
sion is expeced to mean much to the
southern cotton grower and the Brit
ish spinner, says the Macon Telegraph
Manchester spinners buy and spin
about five millionbales of cotton each
year, approximately one third of the
total crop. For long they have been
very generally dissatisfied with the
commpressing and ginning done in the
south. . Mr. Hart is here to arrange
for the opening of a plant or plants in
the south where the spinners across
the sea will buy their staple direct
from the planter as it comes off the
field, gin and compress it to suit their
standard so I hat it can be spun with
the least loss of time ad mechanical
energy. The British spinners will also
handle the by-products of all cotton
they buy ami handle and they plan
to handle five million bales.
Air. Hart was chosen by the spin
ners of his city to come to America to
choose a site or sites, and open up a
great ginning and compress plant.
For the past two weeks there has,
been a rumor to the effect that
ton did not pay as much for cotton
as some of her neighboring towns.
This is an error. The Argus has
taken pains to make a most thorough
and careful investigation and finds
that there is absolutely nothing in it.
There is another equally as false ru
mor regarding an alleged combination
here among the cotton buyers. The
facts about the prices are those to be
found in every cotton market. Wher
ever the quality comes up to the buy
ers' requirements the price here is the
same as in othr places. A complaint
is offered here by the buyers that the
quality as a rule > not of the sort to
bring the highest prices and another
big complaint is that the bales do not
come up ’to the weights required by
the spinners and factor. It will be
readily understood that it takes twice
the bagging and ties for two 300
pound bales that it does for one 600
pound bale and the spinner does not
care to pay cotton prices for bagging
and ties and will not do so. Then it
appears that if local cotton growers
want the top prices they must comply
with the requirements of those who
use the cotton. The demand for cot
ton is great and the Dalton buyers are
now full of orders for good cotton
in at least 500 pound bales and farm
ers having such can get the top price
if the quality is right. There are
many, of course, holding for a rise
and it is hoped it will go up but those
who are in position to know from
years of experience say that it w T ill
not probably go over ten cents this
fall but they think that no good cot
ton should go under that price and
indeed they do not want it to go low
er.
Boys’ Corn Club Exhibit.
Commissioner Judd Sapp has re
ceived a large numljer of samples of
porn grown by the Whitfield boys’
corn club and will ship them to Car
tersville next Monday ro be shown at
the Seventh district corn club show.
Mr. Sapp and a large number of the
boys will go down to Cartersville next
Friday. It is hoped and believed that
some of the Whitfield boys will come
back with some of the prizes.
YEGGNIEN PM
DALTON II VISIT
A couple, at least, of yeggmen, paid
Dalton a visit last night.
That fact was established beyond
peradventure this morning when Joe
Farmer opened the office of the North
Georgia warehouse and found the safe
scattered about in several parts.
Workmen connected with the Sou
thern railway found two boxes of pa
pers belonging to Mr. Dennis Barrett,
the proprietor of the warehouse, early
this morning, and brought them up
io Mr. O. G. Prentiss, the agent of
that road, who at once began an in
vestigation upon the theory that a
robbery had been committed during
the night, not thinking that profes
sional cracksmen had been on the job.
The whole city was aroused as soon
as the rumors began to spread abroad
and some time before seven o'clock
all of those who had come down town
arly were curious visitors at the scene.
The job was evidently that of profes
sional yeggmen. The safe which stood
in the northwest corner of the Hamil
ton street end of the warehouse had
been “doped” with nitroglycerine in
the cracks and sealed over with soap
and the explosive touched off which
blew open the inside and outside doors
of the strong box. * The charge was
fired just below the knob and lock and
they were blown out as was the fire
proof filling in the partition of the
outer wall of the front door. The
twisted and bent steel gave ample evi
dence of the powerful explosive used.
On top of the safe was found a por
tion of yesterday’s Chattanooga Times
which was greasy and showed that the
robbers had taken either the soap or
the nitroglycerine there wrapped in
it. The burglars entered byway of
a hack window as traces were found
in distinct reproductions of footprints
where they had come out through a
quantity of lime which was scattered
on the rear platform. One of the rob
bers had on a pair of sharp toed
shoes and made his getaway out over
the cotton platform next the railroad
tracks while the other dismounted
from the warehouse platform and took
down the wagon road back of that
building.
Chief Fincher is positive he heard
the explosion at two o’clock this
morning. It sounded to him like a
mighty, but muffled road reverberating
over the hill. Mr. Fincher lives fully
a quarter of a mile away from the
scene of the robbery. When he heard
it he awoke and looked at his watch
and found the time to be two o’clock.
So far as learned there were no sus
picious characters around town yester
day.
Fortunately Mr. Dennis Barrett, the
proprietor, went late yesterday after
noon, after the first National Bank
had closed for the day, and deposited
twenty-three hundred dollars. His
loss personally is only a badly damag
ed safe and twenty-two dollars and
five cents. His mother had about
seventy-five dollars in gold in the safe
which the robbers did not fail to take.
Miss Lola Seay, the stenographer, had
an initial ring in the safe which was
found after the debris was cleared
away. All day long the office down
there has been filled with curious
sightseers. The yeggs evidently
thought they had made a big haul
when they took the small tin box down
near the gas house and ripped it open,
but were doomed to disappointment,
as it only had a quantity of private
papers.
The safe blown open last night or
rather this morning was the one with
which the late Mr. Joe Barrette be
gan business here in Dalton about for
ty years ago.
For this reason Mr. Dennis Barrett
very much regrets its having been so
ruthlessly damaged. The funds that
have been in that safe if summed up
wuld make “old Jawn D.” green with
avericiousness. It has never bad a
dishonest penny in its compartments
and that is something of which Mr.
Dennis Barrett should and is no doubt
proud of. It has held dollars belong
ing to the church, dollars of private
funds and funds that belonged to
many but if ever a dollar got into or
spent therefrom that could be dis
credited there is nobody dead or living
who would dare say that Joe Barrett
kpew it.
