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. , Appling’. 2 , Baker 2 r Baldwin 2' r Banks 2 Berrien 2 Bibb 6 Brooks 4 Bryan 2 Bulloch .. 4 Burke 4 Butts 2 Calhoun 2* Camden 2 Camphell 4 Carroll 2 Catoosa 2 Charlton 2 Chatham 6 Chattahoochee 2 Chattooga 2 Cherokee 2 1 Clarke 4 ' Clayton 2 Clinch 2 1 Cobb 4 ' Coffee 2 Colquitt 2 Columbia. 2 o Coweta. 4 , Crawford 2 1 Crisp 2 ° Dade 2 Dawson 2 t Decatur., 4 e DeKalb 4 v Dodge 2 Dooly 2 Dougherty 2 ( Douglas 2 t Early 2 1 Echols 2 - Effingham 2 Blbert 4 Emanuel 4 < Fannin - Fayette 2 , Floyd 6 Forsyth - Franklin•• - Fulton b ' Gilmer “ Glascock “ o Glynn “ Gordon '2 Grady ■ Greene Gwinnett 4 Habersham. 2 Hall 4 Hancock - Haralson 2 Harris 2 Hart 2 Heard 2 Henry 2 Houston 4 Irwin 2 Jackson 4 Jeff Davis 2 Jefferson 2 Jenkins 2 Johnson 2 Jones 2 A Laurens 4 F Lee'.. 2 Liberty 2 Lincoln 2 Lowndes 4 Lumpkin 2 Macon 2 Madison 2 Marion 2 McDuffie 2 Mclntosh 2 Meriwether 4 Miller 2 Milton 2 Mitchell 2 Monroe 2 Montgomery 2 Morgan 2 > Murray 2 Muscogee 6 Newton 2 Oconee 2 Oglethorpe 2 Paulding 2 Pickens 2 Pierce • 2 Pike 2 Polk 2 Pulaski 2 Putnam 2 Quitman 2 Rabun 2 Randolph 2 Richmond 6 Rockdale 2 j Schley 2 1 Screven 2 I Spalding, 2 Stephens 2 Stewart 2 Sumpter 4 Talbot 2 Taliferro 2 Tattnall 2 T vlor 2 Telfair 2 Te-rell 2 Thomas 4 Tift 2 Toombs 2 Towns 2 Troup 4 Turner 2 Twiggs 2 Union 2 Upson 2 Walker 2 Walton 4 Ware 4 Warren 2 Washington 4 Wayne 2 Webster 2 White 2 Whitfield 2 Wileox 2 Wilkes 4 Wilkinson 2 Worth 2 Total36B O—Oo—o—o 0 0 0 0 SOME “FIRST” THINGS.

Housed in a great hanger at a Lon don Aerodrome is the largest aero plane in the world. It is called a tan dem biplane, and the aera covered by the planes is a thousand feet. The frame work is entirely constructed of light steel tubes which take the place of wire. There are two engines of 80-horse power each, which actuate two huge propellers. As showing the gigantic area and weight-eartrying ca pacity of the machine, the inventor says he can construct a stage to car ry six to ten passengers. The first American newspaper; the first newspaper published in Ameri ca, never got beyond its first issue. It 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.
