The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-06-20

News comes from Fargo convict
camps, in south Georgia, that the Ia
nous gang of pickpockets, who were
sent there from Valdosta some time
ago, and who have been so much
trouble to the prison officials, have
been separated and are to be sent TO
different camps. Two of them Will go
to the Durham coal mines, one to the
camp at Broxton and the others will
remain at Fargo.
1t is said that last week they made.
desperate attempt to escape, and their
plot was discovered just in the nick OF
time to foil their efforts. They secur-
ed saws and cut the iron bars to the
prison windows and took them out
The bars were replaced and held to-
gether with soap, the men expecting TO
skip out at night. The plot was DIS
covered as the guards were on their
rounds at night and the men were re-

Those deluded souls who have cher
ished the notion that either Hoke
Smith or Clark Howell would be the
next governor of Georgia have anoth-
err guess coming, according to anthem
tic information from that glorious
commonwealth. "Plain Dick" Rus
sell is coming to the front like an am
bulance wagon, bringing his remedies
with him. "Farmer jim" Smith Of
Oglethorpe forces a sob of sympathy
from every farmer in the state. Col.
Estill's mysterious Fabian policy
puzzles and affrights his more snowy
antagonists. SO the plutocrats of
Peachtree have mutual foes to fight
in addition to the agreeable task OF
wiping each other off the earth.
1t would be highly agreeable to re-
count the reasons why Farmer Jim, of
OgIethorpe, is popular with his com
patriots, and the recital of Col. Es-
til 5 campaign plans would be delec-
table to the world; for the present the
candidacy of Plain Dick Russell en-
cages our attention. On authority OF
our esteemed contemporary, the Toe

PLAIN DICK RUSSELL"
AND "FARMER JIM SMITH >
From the Washington ID. c. Post.

Goa Record, it is declared that every
word of Plain Dicks 'cOmes fresh
from a great big heart whose pulsa-
tions are with love for the common
people of his beloved state" He goes
fearlessly from county to county,
Injecting the people face to face, i'm
pressing them singly and collectively
with his eternal faith in the integrity
and virtue of the people," Nothing
dauntS him.
"Plain Dick has kept everlastingly
at it, going before the people day af-
ter day and week after week, undaunt-
ed by weather or vituperatiOn or by
the big papers, and with no help but
his own strong arm. He did it
with a smile on his strong bronzed
face; no fear, no fawning, no hesitat-
ing there, but, like the cavalier that
he is, he charged the forts made of
paper money"
The first battle cry of Plain Dick
was ga Square Deal and a Full
Neal" This swept the red hills like
prairie fire. Then he challenged
Hoke Smith and Clark Howell to NOR
tai wit combat. Howell artfully side
stepped, HOke fell into the trap. They
wrestled at Monticello, and the result
was a dogfall. They clinched at Dab
lonega, and HOke counted time. The
death struggle ensued at McDonOugh's
CORY field, where Plain Dick clapped
his wings and crew, while HOke was
withdrawn for repairs. HOke's friends
refused to permit him to go up against
Plain Dick at ToccOa, and thence
forth Plain Dick was forced to face
the people all alone, but still unterri-
fed.
An impassioned Georgia poet has
immortalized Plain Dick in verse set
ting forth part of his platform. No
form of verse yet invented can en-
blazon this platform in its entirety of
course. But an inkling of the good
things in store for Georgia when
Plain Dick is elected is conveyed by
the laureate. He begins:
''Two-cent-a-mie passenger fare he adyo-
DINERS deal in generalities in railroad rates. !"
And continues:
"He advocates removing tax burden that
StingS
BY exempting three hundred dollars Of house
hold things
And ends:
You see his platform deals with questions
much bigger.
While others devote all their time to the
niger"
Let Hoke's friends shout and How
ellis henchmen return the cry: they
cannot any longer deceive the cOun-
try. The peaches of Georgia do not
all grow on Peachtree street. Plain
Dick Russell, his square deal and his
square meal, his eternal love of the
people. and the poetry he has inspir-
ed must all be reckoned with.

MAN MI IBERATELY SAWED HIS ARM OFF
Convict Serving Sentence at Fargo Camps Put Limb
Against Whirlng Saw When Arm was Ou'
Off He Cody Threw 1t Over to Guard

moved to other cells.
1t is now learned that the man who
had his arm cut off in the single saw
the other day was from Savannah,
and was the white man who had such
a desperate fight with the turnkey
there. 1t is understood that he was
wanted for burglary and probably for
some other crime in Atlanta.
1t is said that he deliberately caught
one of his hands in the other and
pushed the arm that was thus held
against the saw, saving it in two;
Then he took the severed arm and
threw it to one of the guards, asking
him to take care of it," What his
object was in inhictiug such injury
upon himself is not known unless 1t
was to MAIN himself so as to prevent
being given hard tasks, or it may
have been a case of cutting off the
nose to spite the face"
1t was reported that this man was
one of the Valdosta pickpOckets, but
he is said now to have been the Sa-
vannah man.

FEWER CoNvICTs IN GEORGIA.
Interesting Information from Annual
Report OF Prison Commission.

Interesting Information from Annual
Report of Prison Commission.
Secretary Yancey, Of the prison
commission, has about completed the
work of getting up the annual report
of the penitentiary department.
From advance sheets the following
information is secured: There are
now in the :penetentiary 2,244 con-
victs, as against 9, go for last year.
The report shows quite a decrease
in the number of white convictS. Last
year there were 284 white conyicts, 7
of whom were women, while this year
the number is 2l3, of which number
there are 6 women.
There are now in the penitentiary
l, 107 prisoners who are married, and
l, 237 who are single. OF this number
l, 1914 can read and write, 243 can read
only, and 907 are illiterate.
One of the several tables embraced
in the report shows that two prison
ers are now serving their twelfth SEN
tence, three their seventh, and three
their sixth. From this it would ap-
pear that many of the state convicts
are spending their lives in the peni-
tertiary.

CAMPAIGN COST 100000.
The Man With Vote Had Time OF
1t in Savannah.

The Man With a Vote Had a Time Oh
1t in Savannah.
Savannah has lust had one of her
red hot elections, such as only Sa-
yannah can have, and the Savannah
News says it was great day for
those whose votes were in the market.
1t was estimated that nearly LOCO
votes we're purchased, and there was
little less than no secrecy about the
bargaining. The man who was
fixed" was led to the box and watch
ed while he deposited marked bal
lot. The worker who had engineered
the bargain was prominently in evil
dence, and he was not at all timid
about it being known who he was.
Professional and business men made
no attempt to work secretly.
Oftentimes two workers would light
on to a purchasable voter about the
same time, and the bidding would be
spirited. AS high as $40 was said to
have been paid for single vote The
prevailing price during most of the
early part of the day was $25, though
in one instance of spirited bidding a
fancy price was offered. Late in the
afternoon so was the price in most
instances, though nobody was turned
down because he wanted more.
Prominent men were unabashed by
the presence of the crowd when it
came to the getting of votes, and the
leaders stood by and watched the
methods.
A representative of one of the fac
tions stood in side street and waved
a handful of money above his head
and invited voters to sell their votes.
Money was spent freely and, as one
worker put it, without limit. 1t is es-
timated that the campaign cost be-
tween SIS, 900 and 800, 900

BUILDINGS DAMAGED AT Triton
Presbyterian Church Ruined, and
Many Miraculous Escapes.

A terrific cyclone struck Triton
Tuesday afternoon, coming from the
east. 1t first struck the town just
north of Capt. H. H. lifts home, tear
ING down trees and fences till it reach
ed Love avenue, where it tore away a
part of C. c. Guests residence and
all out-houses in the alley between
Love and Central avenues, where ev-
ervthing was more or less demolished
within the track of the storm, which
was about three hundred feet wide.
The Presbyterian church was com
pletely ruined. The Baptist church
was damaged. All barns and out
houses on the places of DR.. Julian,
MIR. Paulus and the Harrells, on Cen
trail avenue, were demolished.
The storm kept up its reign OF ter
ror as it went westward, and tore down
four houses on the knitting mill prop
erty, injuring three people, one Mr.
Proctor seriously.
The plant of the Triton Manufacture
ing Co. was badly damaged. All tel
ephone and telegraph connection with
the surrounding country has been cut
off for some time.
A number of narrow escapes from
death have been reported. In all,
about twenty houses were badly dam
AGED and many shade trees were
ruined. 1t seems a miracle that
number of persons were not killed.

STIRRED UP HORNETS NEST
SENATOR BACON'S RESOLUTION
TO CHANGE GEORGIA AVENUE.
Residents at Capitol Protest and Say
Present Avenue Was Laid Out
by Washington.

Senator Bacon has caused stir
among the residents of the eastern
section of Washington by his pro-
posal to change the location of Geor-
gia avenue. At present Georgia ave-
nue. is situated in southeast Wash
ingtOn, in an almost obscure part of
the town, and recently Senator
Bacon sought to have his state more
highly honored by introducing a bill
changing North Capital street to
Georgia avenue. North Capitol street
is one of the leading thoroughfares of
the town, and the Senator is anxious
that it shall be called Georgia avenue.
But the residents of southeast Wash
ingtOn, who, so to speak, have come
to love Georgia avenue by reason of
it's having been there ever since the
city was established, are vigorous in
their protests against it being robbed
of its name.
OF Historical Value.
"It is not purely from local patriot
ism that we will fight" declared one
of the residents of southeast Wash
idgton, in speaking of the matter,
"but Georgia avenue as it now lies
has it's historical value. 1t was in a
house on Georgia avenue that the
headquarters of President Madison
and the army in the war of 1914 were
maintained. This house still stands,
and if our association has anything
to do with it we will see that Georgia
avenue will remain with US and not
be transferred to the northwest sec
ton of the city,
This gentleman says he visited Sen
ator Bacon about the matter, but
that the senator told him he did not
care anything for the sentiment of the
people of that section in the matter.
81 want the street changed" are the
words attributed to the senator.
George w ashington laid out the city
as it now is" said another resident
of the southeast section, land the
streets named after southern states
were put in the southern section of
the city. We cannot see why any
senator at this late day should want
to undo the work of Washington"
The east Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION has taken up the matter by
inaugurating fight to save Georgia
avenue to their part of the city. At
meeting the other night a committee of
the association reported that they had
waited on the commissioners of the
District of Columbia in protest to the
contempt ated change, but that they
informed them that I'VE can do moth
ing to help you, and you had better
take what you can get" Quite a
spirited debate ensued, and as re-
suit a vigorous protest against the
proposed change was drafted and for
warded to Senator Gallinger, chair
man of the senate district committee
having in charge Senator Bacon's
bill to change the street. This petit
ton opens with ''protest against the
senate bill which seeks to deprive our
Georgia avenue of its time-honored
name.
