$500, 900 Fire At
Dawson Monday Night

DAWSON, Ga, Oct. llth-The
Planters Warehouse was burned here
Monday night about 7:30 and it was
some time before the firemen had the
big blaze under control. For time
due to the heavy wind, it seemed as
if the whole of South Dawson was
doomed.
The Planters Warehouse is one OF
the oldest firms of the city and this
is the first time any amount of cotton
has been lost here. Andrew Hill and
Miles Hill are proprietors of he con-
Germ both are away from the city.
The warehouse was under direct man
agement of J. T. Coker.
Stored In the building were upward
of 1900 bales of cotton and every thing
is total loss. At the present price
of cotton the damage totals $500, 000
Most Of the cotton was completely
covered by insurance. The office was
in the building and whether the rec
ords were burned is not yet known.

New Criminal Court
Needed In Atlanta
Boykin Declares Crisis Has Been
Reached Due to Congestion
Of Court Dockets

ATLANTA, Oct. 12-That a cri.
sis has been reached in the operation
of the criminal division of the Futon
Superior court due to the congested
condition of the trial docket is the
declaration made gy Solicitor Genera,
John A. Boykin, the noted prescott.
ing officer who exposed and drove
from Atlanta the most notorious band
of swindlers the South has ever known
There is such mass of business
confronting the court that unless I'M
forseen remedy is found I do not see
how the docket will ever be cleared
Solicitor Boykin said to the cores
pendent of this southern news serv-
ice. II think the creation of another
division of the criminal court would
give the necessary aid, but all the
efforts ] have made in this direction
have come to naught."
Solicitor Boyilin said that he has
recently sent out missionaries to
a large number of Judges throughout
the state asking them to say when
they would be available to assist in
the work Of the criminal division OF
the Futon superior court.
The criminal division has been act
i've practically every court day this
year said Solicitor Boykin, but the
ever increasing mass of cases seems
unaffected by our efforts.
