From Many Workers

The letters, Mr.. Hughes stated,
were from leading workers through
out the district to Manager Dodson,
bearing on the campaign in progress,
and Mr.. Hughes stated in his letter,
it is reported that he saw no reason
why he should not use the letters
against Lewis and that he would prob
ably do So
Mr. Dodson at once Investigated his
letter files ard found that some let
ters were missing. how many he
could not discover. The porter re-
ported that one morning, during DOd-
sons absence, he found the window
and door of the office open and it is
presumed that it was on that occasion
that the thief entered the office and
distracted the letters.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Hughes ex-
plains his possession Of the letters by
saying that a man handed them to
him, with the words: Here are some
letters for you, Mr. Hughes; it is
none of your business where they
came from" Manager Dodson will,
it is understood, demand the name of
this mysterious person.
Hughes, it is reported, claimed in
his letter to Dodson that the letters
in his possession indicated improper
methods in the campaign Manager
Dodson's reply is said to be of the
hottest sort. Congressman Lewis, who
has just returned home from Wash
ington will it is said. issue an open
letter to the public dealing with the
theft of the letters and their proposed
use by Hughes. Current rumors are
to the effect that Dodson has made,
or is about to make a peremptory de-
mand on Hughes for the name of the
party from whom he received the let
ters in order that a warrant may be
issued for burglary. Manager Dodson
denies emphatically that any genuine
letters from his office would show
what Hughes claims and his letter to
Hughes is said to have placed the
onus on Hughes of being willing to
become the beneficiary of a crime
committed and paid for in his politi-
cal interest The correspondence has
not been made public yet, probably

ADVISE A SMALL FARM
IN KEEP OF CONWCTS
Grand Jury Has Suggested
This Idea.

The sale of the old Jail property in
Americus, and of the pauper farm
two miles west of the city, are sug-
gestions made by the grand jury in
the recommendations published else
where, and which are of interest.
Both valuable properties, it is sug-
geSted, be sold.
The proceeds, in the opinion OF
that body, should then be applied to
the purchase of another farm near
the city, upon which the county con-
yicts may be kept.
1t is argued that a farm, such as
proposed, would reduce the cost OF
keeping and feeding the half hundred
or more chaingang convicts, as a
great deal in the way of grain and
vegetables and meat may be raised
by this labor.
The idea is an excellent one and
doubtless will receive, the considera-
ton of the commissioners.
Just why the sale of one farm and
the purchase of another is made is
difficult to understand, unless it be
that the cOunty's pauper farm is
deemed too small, or lacking in fer
tIllty, for the requirements of d con
vict farm.
IhIs farm is we'll and conveniently
located and, it would seem, could
he made o meet all requirements il
the suggestion of the grand jury is
adopted
Surely a large amount would be
saved to the county in fitting up the
property already owned rather thar
to sell it at a probably low price ano
buy more costly tract. The old J1i
property would doubtless sell fol
good value.
The recommendation is a good one
whether or not the present paupel
farm be utilized in the manner sug-
gested.

CRIME IN SUMTER MUCH
DIMINISHED BY COURT

In taking leave of the grand jury
upon its adjournment, Judge z. A.
Littlejohn took occasion to note the
marked decrease in crime in Sumter
county, and expressed gratifica-
ton thereat. This decrease he at
tributed in great measure to the eff
fective administration of justice in
the city court, before which tribunal
the very large number of misdemeanor
cases are tried, and in this connection
the court paid a fattering tribute to
Judge Charles r. Crisp. The swift
melting out of justice and the GER
tainty with which crime was punish
ed there has had a decidedly deter
rent effect, Judge Littlejohn said.

POLITICAL SENSATION
IN CONGRESSIONAL RACE
W. A. DODSONS OFFICE ENTERED AND LETTERS TAKEN SAID TO BE
NOW IN HANDS OFDIDLEY NJ. HUGHES--SZZLNG CORRESPON
DENCE BETWEEN TWO MEN.FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS EX-
PfCIEDANY MOMENT.

In special from Americus to the
Savannah Press Of Thursday is a
red hot article on the Congressional
race in the Third District. 1t ap-
pears from the article that the private
office of w. A. Dodson, manager for
Congressman e. B. Lewis was rified
and letters abstracted from Mr.. Dod-
sons files placed in possession Of his
opponent, Dudley NJ. Hughes.
The following is the article taken
from the Savannah Press:
The Third congressional district,
embracing fifteen counties, extending
almost from Macon to Albany, is ap-
parently on the verge of the greatest
political sensation III its history.
Some time prior to May 18th the
Office Of Hon. w. A. DOdson, at one
time president of the Georgia senate
and a we'll known figure in Georgia
politics, was entered, presumably by
some person acquainted with the poll
tics Of the Third District The letter
files of the office were ransacked and
a large number Of letters relative to
the present congressional race be-
tween Congressman Elijah B. Lewis
stolen, together with answers there
to- Whoever the party was he did
his work neatly and took his time, as
it was necessary to go from one file
to another to secure the replies. The
files were left in an apparently undis-
turbed condition. The stolen letters
were apparently selected with care
and view to their future use.
Mr. Dodson, who is campaign man
ager for Congressman Lewis, was alb
sent from the city at the time of the
ransacking of his office and as he had
no occasion to refer 10 the files be-
yOnd the current letters, knew moth
ing of the theft until Tuesday when
he received a letter, it is stated, from
Hon. Dudley NJ. Hughes, who was
defeated by Lewis, in the congression-
al race two years ago and is now
opposing Lewis again, stating that
a package of fifty or more letters,
with carbon copies of replies there
to, had been placed in his hands.

In Consultation

Mr.. Hughes spent Wednesday here
in consultation with Solicitor General
Charley Hill of Atlanta, who is his
brother-in-law, and with other politi-
cal friends. He processes confidence
in the result Of the election.
Manager DodsOn claims that Lewis
will carry at least ten of the fifteen
counties of the district, and will
have a majority of 1000 in the popu-
lar vote. Lewis's majority two years
ago was 100. Dodson claims that the
burglarizing of his office and Hughes
proposed use of the letters stolen
therefrom has aready injured Hughes
candidacy and will bring about an
overwhelming defeat for him. Two
letters passed between Dodson and
Hughes on Wednesday, but Hughes
has made no move to return the stol-
en- letters. DOdson has made no re-
quest for their return, it is stated,
contenting himself with vigorous de-
nunciation of the actions of the par
ties who instigated the theft and of

stolen letters, retaining them, and

Warm Correspondence

1t is believed the correspondence
may prove a trife too warm for the
newspapers to publish and that it
will be issued in circular form and
placed in hands of every voter in the
district between now and election day.
Candidate Hughes speaks at Hawkins
Vile on Saturday, and the district is
waiting with eagerness his remarks at
that time as a probable continuation
of an incident that promises to keep
the district in a turmoil for the next
week or two
The following is a salty extract
from the letter of Manager DodsOn
to Mr.. Hughes, in answer to the lat
ter's notification of the possession of
the letters:
Your statement that you received
the letters without solicitation, com
plicity or knowledge on your part
does not alter the case. You know
must know, that such letters must
have been stolen from my office
through the connivance of some of
your political managers; that money
was used to pay the thief for such
work, and the fact that you are will
ing to use them to promote your race
for Congress makes you appear will
ing to become the beneficiary of the
crime"

PMSENTMENTS
OF GRAND JURY

General Presentments of the Grand
Jury Sumter Superior Court, May
Term, 1908
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn for the May term, 1908, of Sum
ter Superior Court, beg leave to sub
nit the following report:
We desire, first of all, to congratu-
late our County upon the evident
and great decrease of crime, which,
in our judgment, is attributable in
no small measure, to recent legisla-
ton prohibiting the sale of intOXi-
cants, and its honest and rigid en-
forcement by the officers of law, as
sisted by our people. Our judiciary,
speaking in no uncertain terms, have
given cOgent and convincing rea-
sons for a fearless enforcement of
this law; the WOuld-be violators seem
to have taken notice and needed the
advice of our judges, not to come
before them under penalty of receiv-
ing the limit of the law. We expect,
as a result of the rigid enforcement
of this law in Sumter County a far
better citizenry, more cOntended
and prosperous labOring element than
we have known in years gone by.
