SUPREME COURT
. TO Count BALLOTS
Will Figure Election Returns
and Settle Result of Road
Bond Election.

or its own volition. the Supreme
Court of Appeals yesterday took upon
itself the burden OF :. trial of the an
cicnt and honorable occupation Of
counting election ballots and figuring
returns. lnasmuch as said ballots
have already been counted twice with
different results-once by the Judges
OF the election and again by the Judge
oil the Circuit Court OF Fauouier
county-this third and last test will
be final.
Primarily. tho intent OF the appeal
Is to make certain that n road bond
issue Is legal. The appellant Is the
Board of Supervisors of Tauquier, and
the contention Is over the result of a
good roads election held there on
August 10
When the mon who spent the day at
the polls got through with the re-
turns. there was Il majority of one
vote against n bond issue of $4,000 in
Centre Magisterial District. When
Judge Shackleford had finished his
counting, there was majority of two
for said issue
Vote Was Close.
The county as whole gaze a ma
jority Of nlnety-siX for the bonds
this is undisputcd. Majorities are re-
Quircd both in the county at large and
in the district or districts for which
the bonds arc to be issued. There are
two precincts In Centre District Ono
OF these. the county seat--Warrenton
gave 1919 votes for the issue and 1877
against. while eight votes were thrown
out. New Baltimore Precinct gave
twenty-five votes for and thirty five
against. This showed a defeat for the
DronOSition nv onn veto
The legality of the election in War
renton was attacked on the ground
that some voters had been illegally
assisted In marking ballots by the
judges, that crowds had been permitted
in the polling places and that GER
tain citizens had been prevented from
casting their ballots by a premature
closing OF the polls.
Judge Shackleford found that 1879
persons had voted for the bonds In
Warrenton, 1874 against and that eleven
were thrown ont. This means that he
threw out as Illegal three OF the bal
lots which were cast by opponents OF
the good roads Proposition.
In Its appeal the Board of Super
visors says that IL the election was
illegal no bonds can be issued as a
result While no reflection is intended
on the lower court. the board asks
that the Supreme Court recount those
ballots, for ''humanum est .errare"
The court decided to do It,. The bal.
lots were sent under seal to Clerk r..
Stewart Jones.
