BIG FIRE IN sMITHvILIlE.
Academy and Residences YIELD to
the Flames.

the FLAMES.
Dawson's little neighbor up the
Central railroad. Smithville, had a
disastrous fire Friday morning.
The academy was discovered to be
on fire about 10 O'Clock, and despite
the combined efforts of both white and
colored citizens was totally destroy
ed. It was a large wooden building,
newly painted and the pride OF the
town.
The residence of Mr.. f. S. Adams,
next to the academy, was also COM
pletely destroyed. His household
goods were saved. The house belong
ed to Mr.. w. H. Richardson and was
insured.
Another residence more than block
away, occupied by Mr.. G.. A. Rhodes,
was discovered to be on fire and was
completely destroyed. 1t belonged to
Mr.. A. H. McAfee, and the loss is
partly covered by insurance. Several
residences caught, as the wind was
blowing from the west, but were put
out before any damage was done.
The coal chute was burned also.
The town has no facilities for fight

EDITOR TOM LOYLEss.

The announcement that Editor Tom
w. Loyless had obtained full control
of the Augusta Chronicle was received
with much interest in Dawson. Mr..
Loyless was born and reared in this
city, and began his newspaper career

rapid rise is a source OF much gratifi-
cation to his many friends here.
Mr.. Loyless is one of the strongest
and best-known writer's on the daily
press. and under his management The
Chronicle, already one of the fore
most papers of the south, has still
brighter future ahead of it.

3 One objection that is quite generally
urged against the South Carolina sys-
TEN is that it invariably requires two
primaries instead of one to nominate
a state ticket, and when the system is
applied to the counties and senatorial
districts in the nomination of mem
bers of the general assembly it means
a series of elections that is not only
expensive but tends to keep up agita-
ton and political excitement for too
long a time.
In THE DAWSON NEWS of the cur
rent week Hon. M. j. Yeomans, chair
man of the state democratic executive
committee, discusses at length the
proposition to adopt the South Caro-
lima system, and one strong point
made by him is that the system in
Georgia would give the cities the po-
litical control of the state. The ten
dency of this would be to increase the
corporate influences in all the affairs
of the state.

THE CARE OF CRIMINALS.

Announcement is made OF many
improvements in the Bibb county
iail. 1t is stated that there will be
all modern sanitary convenlences,
and that the grounds will be made
beautiful with flowers, plants and
shrubs, while sunshine will be let
into the corridors. In short, the
Bib county lookup is to be made
very pleasant abiding place for
those who must perforce accept
! its hospitality.
The above, which we find in the Sa-
vannah News, calls to mind Judge
Henry Sheffield's famous charge to
the Quitman county grand jury IN
1897, when the late Governor Atkinson
had the private chaingangs in the
state investigated, and because of al
legged abuses directed the superior
court Judges to have all misdemeanor
convicts returned to the jails of the
counties in which they were convicted.
Judge Sheffield, of this circuit, was
not only not swept off his feet by the
sentimentaiity that was rampant
throughout the state at that time, but
he absolutely refused to order the re-
turn to the jails of the cOnvicts who
had been sentenced by him. He also
took occasion to publicly speak his
mind on the subject at the first oppor-
tunity. which was at session of the
superior court of Quitman county,
when he said, among other things, in
charging the grand jury:
''Convicts are not supposed to
be furnished with feather beds,
carpets on the floor and chicken
pie. When we undertake to raise
viOlatOrs of the law from the plane
of life to which they belong to
where they are treated as gentle
men we may become accessories to
the crimes they commit
Judge Sheffield was the only judge
in the state who did not hasten to car
ry out the governors orders in this
matter, and his failure to do so, to-
gether with the vigorous manner in
which he expressed his very decided
views, attracted much attention and
was widely commented upon.
THE NEWS recently stated that
Hon. Hoke Smith had had his recent
letter on the cotton situation printed
in pamphlet form and was sending it
broadcast over the state. presumably
for political effect. We have just
learned that an Atlanta firm of brokers
is distributing the letter, and in justice
to Mr.. Smith we voluntarily and
gladly make this correction.
IT is stated that the warden of the
Ohio state prison expects to coin
money by the admission fee OF %
cents from the visitors who will flock
to look at Cassie Chadwick in her cell
sewing on hickory shirts for the men
convicts. OF course, says the Savan-
nah Press, such inhumanity could not
be tolerated in a civilized country.

From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
Some of the newspapers have been
discussing the fact that it was alleged
that Hon. Pope Brown favored the
South Carolina plan of primary for
the selection of state officers.
The Telegraph has said a dozen
times within seven or eight years that
the Carolina plan was a better plan
than the Georgia plan-particularly
such a plan as we had last year. A
more unsatisfactory and tangled
scheme was never invented.
Hearst could not have carried five
counties in Georgia, and yet under the
plan adopted his friends came near
blocking the state convention.
The Telegraph is still of the opinion
that the old county convention plan
and the Carolina plan are both better
than the present one.
The objection urged 1hat the larger
counties would, under the Carolina
plan, have a larger voice than the
smaller counties is sample of dema-
gOgism pure and simple.
If representation according to pop
ulation is not a democratic doctrine
then we do no. know what democracy
is.
Under the present plan there is one
delegate from Fulton county in the
state convention to every 19, 500 peo-
pie. From Echols county there is one
delegate for every 1903 population.
To give every voter an equal repre-
sentation in Georgia, wherever he may
live, they tell US, is to discriminate
AGAINST the small counties. This nub-
rank that it smells!
The small counties are as good as
anybody, but it is not democratic for
one man in one county to have as
much voting power in a state conven-
ton as nineteen in another.

From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The proposition of Hon. Pope
Brown and others to introduce the
South Carolina primary plan in this
state is not likely to meet with favor.
The main objection to it, as pointed
out by Hon. M. j. Yeomans, chair
man of the democratic state executive
committee, is that it would give to the
few large counties the power to name
the state house officers. 1t would prac-
tically eliminate the smaller counties
from the contest in the event of sec
ond primary. Under the present sys-
TEN the small counties are sure of
having q voice in the selection of the
candidates. That being the case, it
would seem to be far the wiser plan to
stick to that system.
If there were more than two candi-
dates for the nomination for governor,
or for that matter for any other one
of the offices, it is pretty certain that
no one would have a majority of ali
the votes cast Under the South Car
DINA system a second election would
| be necessary.
These elections are very consider
able burden on the taxpayers-sO
much of a burden, in fact, that there
ought to be no more of them than is
absolutely necessary Besides, a bet

ond, for the reason that big per-

trouble to vote at second primary.
Georgias primary system answers
very we'll. If there is no choice of
candidates at the polls let the peoples
representatives fight the matter out in
convention. A convention chosen by
the people isn't any more likely to
make mistakes than the few voters
who would take part in a second pri-
mary would be.
