The poll resulted as follows:
Major Hope. Unionist, 6,021; Alex

The loss of the Midlothian seat to the

THUNDERB0LT THREATENED
FLAMES AND HEAVY WIND
Savannah Firemen Control
Fire After Damage of S12,
900 Is Done
Especial Dispatch to The Jol,rnall


SAVANNAH, Ga. Sept. 1O.-The
residents of Thunderbolt, a well known
resort near Savannah. were aroused
from their slumbers at o'clock this
morning during the blowing of a thir-
DISQUALIFICATION gale. to fight an in
cendiary fire that threatened for a time
20 destroy many OF the houses along
the river front.
The fire was discovered in the boat
works of Israel Elmgren. These with
their contents. were quickly destroyed
and the fire ate its way into other
structures while the residents, becom-
ing alarmed, telephoned to Savannah
For aid.
Mr.. Elmgren's loss will be about So
900; three houses belonging to A NJ
Bannon were also destroyed, and a
building belonging to S. L. Bird was
damaged. There were a large number
of private launches and motor boats
noored in the river and caretakers and
owners hurried to get them to points of
safety. Two of them, however, were
destroyed.
The handsome launch of DIR. ]. Law
ton Hires worth about $4,000. was sunk,
but will probably be raised. The fire
was made more dangerous than 1t
would have been ordinarily by the fact
that a thirty-fve-ni1e wind was blow
ing and this famed the flames to a
white heat and caused the spread much
more rapidly than it would have done.
The telephone messages sent to Sa-
vannah for assistance were answered
and two auto fire engines were hurried
to the resort. They did good work in
stopping the spread of the flames. The
loss is about $4,000

lsnecial Dispatch to The Journal.

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
DALTON. Ca, Sept. u.-Given the OPP
portunity of lifetime to act the hero
and save the inmates of the local county
jail from burning to death, Cicero Fain,
a negro, found himself in the unpleasant
position Of being an innocent prisoner
in the burning bastile here Tuesday aft
ernoon.
Smoke pouring out of the jail and the
wild cry OF the inmates caused Mrs. Gill
bert, wife of Sheriff Gilbert, to investi-
gate. She gave the keys Of the jail over
TO Fain and asked him to liberate the
prisoners. AS he entered the door and
started down the corridor he heard the
door slam behind him, and found himself
a prisoner.
Had it not been for the fact that the
smoke was caused by a burning mat
tress, and the fire was subdued before it
gained Roadway, ii would have probably
resulted seriously, for Fain bolted when
he heard the noise of the slamming

GrotULS at Heat

On First Cool Day

F. L. Stocking, postmaster at Tacoma,
Wash, sat in the coolest corner of Post
master McKee's office Wednesday morn
ing, and talked of the heat, while every
one else observed the nip of fall in the
air, and the winds that had blown away
the fag-end of summer.
Postmaster Stocking established the
system of postoffices in the Philippines
and did it in the troublesome days when
the islands were continually disturbed by
instructions. But though he Travelled
10000 miles through the islands, and at
innumerable times was within earshot OF
battles between the natives and the reg
ulars, he was not actually engaged in
any Philippine warfare.
But we always felt uncertain in those
days" he said Wednesday morning. I'VE
never knew when We were going to be
shot or feel a bolo in our ribs"
He finds that fall here is midsummer

weather is distinctly summary to him.

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
URGED BY JUDGE FIFE
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)


DALTON. Ca. Sept IA bill to
establish the strict Australian ballot
system in state and county elections in
Georgia is what Judge A. w. Fite, of
Gainesville, believes to be the only eff
fectuaI remedy to purge the state of a
corrupt electorate in different sections
Of Georgia.
Judge Fite said: You can indict the
vote buyers and purchasable voters. and
many will escape; but with the Austral-
ian ballot system the buying of votes
will stop"
Another matter discussed by him was
the proposed act enabling judges to
grant charters to corporations during
vacation, of which he is a strong ad-
vocate. He hopes to see the act ratt-
fed by the voters in the November
election. While here, he granted
charter to the Clark Publishing com
pany. and had to go through the form
of opening court. which is, in his opin-
ion, altogether unnecessary.

THIRTY BALES RECEIVED
BY TH0MAST0N MARKETS
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
THOMASTON. Ga. Sept 1.-THE first
week during the cotton season saw
thirty bales brought to Thomaston,
which is one Of the best cotton markets
in the middle of this state. The first
bale was brought in by Mr.. ]. F. Gray
and was sold to the Thomaston cotton
mills at the premium price of fourteen
cents per pound. The farmers in this
section are all busy picking and over
100 bales are expected this week. The
crop I'm this county, though over two
weeks late, is much better than in some
of the bordering counties. because the
season has been good. and the boil Wee
vii never made his appearance.
While some dry weather damaged the
cotton, 1t is a safe estimate to predict
over 1900 bales for this county Last
year the output was over 1900, but that
was $500 bales more than this county
had ever before made.
