STEPHENSON DENIED
CORRUPT ELECTION
1t is Claimed He Has Spent
$lO7,973

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 3.-That the
S107973 expended by United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson in his cam
piagn for nomination at the primaries
was used legitimately for campaign
advertising and was not employed
corruptly, was the gist Of testiOmny
given today before the senatorial in
vestigating committee.
The committee, which is investigat-
ing charges that Senator Stephenson
obtained his seat in the senate by
bribery and other corrupt use Of
money, examined E. A. Edmonds,
manager of theStephenson campaign
in, 1868. Mr.. Edmopds described in
detail the method of organizing in the
state. He said the thoroughness of
the campaign explains the large
amount of money spent, but all he
declared was used for the nomination
and none of it for the election by the
legislature.

LEE CITIZENS
TO VOTE FOR
BOND ISSUE
SIS BOND ISSUE PROPOSED
Money to Be Spent on New
Court House and Roads
Especial to The Times-Recorder.)

NOPNSAol " A4N lillN -IAtCOIuGI.J
Lesburg, Ga, Oct 8, 19ll-At their
regular meeting held today, the coun-
ty commissioners of Lee county voted
to issue call for an election to de-
eide whether the county will or will
not issue bonds to the extent of S75.-
900 for the construction Of a new
county courthouse here and the furth-
er improvement of the public roads
of the county.
The date of the election to deter
mine the fate of the bond issue was
fixed for November %. $4,000 of the
proposed bonds are to be exuended in
the building of new courthouse to
take the place of the old structure
now being used AS the present court
house is old and in dilapidated condi-
ton, the new building will be well
come addition to the improvements
being made by the county.
The remaining part of the funds,
$4,000, will be spent in improving
the roads of the coun ty which are al
ready in excellent condition. The new
road now being constructed from
Smithville to Leesburg as a link of
the Andersonville-T -Thomasville high
way has been pronounced by compe-
tent critics to be one of the best places
of roadbuilding in the state. It is
no better, however, than the stretch
of road from Leesburg to the Dough-
erty county line, which is as good as
could be desired. With the addition
al funds made avaiiRble for the work
recently, the roads of the entire coun-
ty will be so improved that they will
compare favorably with any in the
state.

Atlanta, Oct 3.-The city council Of
Atlanta is divided on the question of

entirely, the resolution has been de-
bated, but no conclusion as yet been
reached. 1t is not considered likely
however that whipping will be en-
tirely abolished. Council and the
board of education have already de
creed that there must be no more
cruel or unreasonable whippings, and
that any teachers guilty of cruelty
will be proptly dismissed.
