The Congressional Candidate Who Grabs the Six
l otes of Richmond County in the Congressional
Convention Will Have a Bulge On the Others
i'lide; the County Unit Plan Richmond Has Three Times As
Many Votes As Other Counties. Yet Individuality of
Country Counties is Preserved
THERE ARE THIRTY VOTES IN
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
The Winning Candidate Must Capture 16 of These—Some
Interesting Times Ahead in the Tenth District. Maybe
Five Candidates—and Possibly More.
(By the Political Reporter.)
The candidate lor congress who is able to Influence a greater num
ber of Richmond County voters than any of his opponents will have u
big bulge on the others in the tenth congressional campaign, which is
now beginning to warm up. Ricnmond cannot exactly be called a key
stone In the arch of the historic tenth, but she wields considerable In
fluence just the same. The reader will not have to ponder long lor a
reason why each candidate win expend Ills moHt laborious effort* on
Richmond, for when he comes to consider the situation he will at once
realize that Richmond, under the county unit plan, with her six votes
in tiie congressional contention, is equal to the combined votes of tnreg
small counties. , . .. ,
For each representative a county has in the state legislature it has
two votes in the congressional convention. This county has three rep
resentatives and therefore has six votes in the convention, which will
nominate a candidate lor congress from the democratic party.
There are now twelve counties in the tenth district, one more than
she had a few vears ago by reason of Baldwin having been admitted.
Each countv with the exception of Richmond and Washington, has two
votes in tiie convention, while Washington lias four, by reason of nor
two representatives, and Richmond has six, ns stated, by reason of her
three representatives. . . „ . .
Here is a list oi the counties and the number of votes each has in
the congressional convention: , .. .

tv It will be necessary for the winning candidate to gbt 16 votes In the
convention.
Curious to relate, the exact num
ber o' votes is required to get a ma
jority in the convention with Baldwin
a m< tnber of the tenth district as was
leuuired before that county was ad
mitted. When there were eleven
counties in the district and 28
in the convention it required lb
votes, because 14 is clearly not a ma
ioritv of 28 and since the votes are
in multiples of two and a county s
vot° cannot be divided, it was impos
sib'e for vne candidate to get 15 votes
and the other 13. Therefore, the win
ning candidate, prior to the admit
tance of Baldwin, had to poll 16
votes in the convention, the identica
number which he will hove to poll
now.
There is no question about the time
honori d county unit plan being adopt
ed'Bgain when the congressional exe
cutive committee meets, this plan
preserves the individuality 91 the
country counties of the district and
does not allow the big popular vote
in such counties as Richmond and
Washington to have so much to uo
with deciding the issue. For instance.
Richmond may poll 0.000 votes and
(iiascock only 400, vet Glascock has
one-third as much to say regarding
who shall be congressman as Rich
mond although Richmonds popular
vote ma> be more than 12 times as
great a sthat of Glascock.
If there should he a deadlock in
the congressional convention then i
is probable that a candidate who re
ceive the highest number of votes
from all over the disdr f le f h p^'primary
rlnred the nominee of the primary.
However this it not considered as
exactly fair by some peop e who

RELATES STORY
Garbed in Black, Tells of Her
Married Life and Wliat Led
to Tragedy.
■ i »■ ii. f
Pari*. —Madame Caillaux, gowned in
black, gave her version of the killing
of Gaston Calmette before Henri Bou
card, the investigating magistrate to
day.
Mme. Caillaux began with a brief
history of her married life. Then she
remarked:
“I always took groat interest in the
public life of my husband, sharing the
pleasures and the cares of politics."
The prisoner's recital was suspended
temporarily when she began sobbing.
On resuming her testimony she said:
"For two years an abominable cam
paign was directed against my hus
band, who was attacked on every oc
casion, notably on the charge that he
had secretly ceded a portion of the
French Congo to Germany and in con
nection with the Agadir incident in
Morocco. I was deeply grieved by
these calumnies which became partic
ularly venemotis at the time of the for
mation of the Doumergue cabinet. The
feeling of histility I noticed especially
at receptions. My indignation was
aroused because I had implicit faith
in my husband's probity.”

There are no richer lands anywhere,
not even the liiinoua cotton lands ot
Texas, than the alluvial lands in this
I vicinity. This land is famous for tin
; production of the very finest short

Itles, adjacent to Augusta are: Burke.

Augusta is an Important distribut
ing point for cotton seed for domestic
and export use, and ranks as the
largest distributing |H»lnt in the south
for forage seeds or all kinds. It is
also the center of the largest aspara
gus-growing Industry In the world.
The peach-growing Industry In this
section has assumed large proportions
and, aside from it certain district in
.South Georgia, Augusta Is considered
the largest center in the south for
thl- industry Very large orchards
are located at Thomson and Mavfielil,
Ga.. and ( lurks Hill and Trenton, fi.
• In one year alone the Georgia
IfallroHii handled 325 ears of the fa

A Manufacturing Center.
As a miiiiiifaeturlng center Augusta
ranks high among the cities of the
South It is llrst in the hrlck manu
facturing Industry, the annual output
being 75.000,000 hrlck The extensive
kaolin mines of Georgia and Carolina
within a radius of tlfteen miles of
Augusts are famous for tho quantity
or kaolin produced. This Is also tne
home of the turnons Augusta gravel
used the country over wherever good
roads are appreciated.
Fourteen cotton milis In and around
Augusta consume over 100,000 bales
of cotton annually. This home con
sumption plays an Imiiortant part in
the price of spot cotton. The farmer
kets a higher price and the mills can
afTonl to pay more rather than go
elsewhere and have to pay brokers'
commislson and freight.
Ollier Industries are Iron foundries,
pals manufactories, lumber, fertilizer
oil mil Is. cigar factories, broom and
mattress factories and various other
mauufaetiirlng industries of every de
scription.
We have the finest bonded cotton
warehouse In tho south, having a ca

The bn liking facilities are unex
celled anywhere, eight hanks having
a combined capital and surplus of five
million dollars. The bank clearings
are over *100,000,000 per year. Thus
It can readily he seen there Is no lack
of banking facilities which are so
necessary to the development and
progress of n community.
Power Development.
The greatest boon possible for the
industrial development of a city Is
ample power at cheap rntes. Au
