DEFEATED CANDIDATE
REFUSES TO DECLARE
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept bit cost the
various candidates for state and county
offices $4,000 in Richmond county All
of the candidates except three filed their
expense accounts with the clerk of the
superior court within twenty days after
the primary, as is required by law.
r. W. Pitcher, defeated candidate for
clerk Of court, was one of the candidates
who refused to file an expense account.
He gives as his reason that the white
primary was not conducted fairly and
that official ballots which were supposed
to be obtained only in the private booths
were all over the city and that many bal
lots were marked before the voters went
into the booths.
Joe Watkins, defeated for solicitor OF
the city court, spent 81 200, while l. S
Peoples, Jr,. defeated for solicitor general
of the Augusta circuit. spent S1,195.25
Congressman Hardwick spent $1,000 in this
county. Candidates for the legisla ture
also expended considerable sums of mon
ey and the successful candidates. Messrs
Samuel l.. Olive. C. A. Piquet and Samue
F. Darlington, spent about $40O each.

NOT
MADE GOOD


Charges made against Sheriff Bill
Gates Of stephens county by the coun-
ty commissioners were declared unsus-
tanned by Judge Frank NJ. Bailey, fol.
lowing a hearing that was concluded
yesterday at Duncan.
The charges originally included mall
feasance in Office, drunkenness, gam
bling and other counts. bgt after argu-
ments were made by the attorneys 1t
all simmered down to the one accusa-
ton that the sheriff drank too much.
On this point testimony was introduc.
ed. An effort was made to show that
Gates was drunk when somt Stephens
county prisoners whom he was taking
to Granite were allowed to escape
from the county Jail here several
months ago. It was brought out. how
ever, that the sheriff was not at fault
in that transaction as the jail key had
been left where the inmates could
reach it, The testimony failed to bear
out the charges ana the court there
fore dismissed the case.

County Commissioners will Sub
nit Bond Issues for Court
House Purchase and
Bridge Building
SPECIAL ELECTION AT
AUGUST PRIMARY
Speake Offers to Sell Court
House Property for $17,5O0
Amount Proposed for
Bridges is $40, 900.


BY action Of the board Of county
commissioners, in regular session at
the court house, July 10, two bond is
sues win be submitted to the voters
Of Grady county for approval Or re-
lection at the general primary, which
is TO be held August 6
One proposition calls for bonds
to the amount Of $4,000 for bridge
building and she other provides for a
bond issue to purchase court house
property
A petition signed by 75O citizens
was presented to the commissioners
BY J. W. speake asking that an cleo
ton be called to vote on the court
house deal MI. speake made the
commissioners a proposition to sell the
present court house and jail property.
including 200 feet on choctaw avenue
and 100 feet on Pennsylvania avenue
for S17.5O0. An agreement between
Mr. speake and the board, giving an
option on the property at that price, is
being drawn up By the assistant eoung
tg attorney who is also looking up the
law to determine whether a larger sum
than the purchase price can be voted.
In the event that the deal is approved
by the people 1t IS the plan Of the
commissioners to spend about $500
more on the building in order to pro.
vide accommodations for county Of.
fiees that are now scattered over
town. The county's rent roll is now
about S96lo annually and it is figured
that the saving on rents effected BY
purchasing the property would be more
than sufficient to meet the interest
and sinking fund on the bonds.
The call for the bridge bond elec.
ton grows out Of the demands for
bridges coming from all parts Of the
county At the present time 10s
bridge petitions are on file in the
county clerks office Among them
are three bridges across the Washita
and one across the Little Washlta.
Under the law funds for bridge con.
struction can be derived in only two
ways: A direct levy or bonds, and
the commissioners take the view thae
tie bond method is the better way.
A bridge bond issue for the same
amount was rejected by the voters
about a year ago. Since then the pc.
titions Tor bridges have been lncreas-
ing in number.
In compliance with the Indian land
tax decision Of the supreme court, the
commissioners acted on a number oa
petitions Of Indian citizens asking that
their lands be dropped from the tax
rolls and that the taxes on their lands
for the years l9lo.iis2, that have
been on the delinquent list. be remit
ted.
The only other important business
before the board at the July meeting
was the making up OF the annual eai.
mates for the excise board.
