There was a man whom ] knew

was to take a few friends who had
financial ability and plenty of cour-
age into my confidence.

Uranus rules powerfully for good to-

The rule is for alert mentality and

speculative reasoning.
The government is peculiarly for

DROPS ELECTION
FRAUD CHARGES
ACquittaI of Artope Causes the
Solicitor to End Prosecution
of Others in Bibb County.

MACON. GA, Feb 22.-Following the
of fraudulently conducting the last Au-
gust primary, it was announced today
by Solicitor Ross that the indictments
age inst Dolvin, Harrison and Umpback,
the clerks in the court house precinct,
will not be prosecuted This terminates
the alleged election frauds cases.
How the votes became altered an0
others were destroyed is still unex-
planned. Fifteen witnesses testified in
court that their ballots were changed
and fifteen other ballots were proven
missing.
Artope, prominent Macon business
man, was found not guilty of the
charge of altering and destroying bal
lots in the August, 1912, Bibb county
primary election, while acting in the
capacity of manager at the A to l. pre-
cinct of the upper city district The
jury last night acquitted him of the
| charge, after staying out an hour.
Artope and George Dolvin, John Har-
rison and r. A. Umpback were in
charge of this precinct, where a dis
crepancy was discovered in the re-
| count on the day after the election suf-
ficient to change the legislative re-
suit.
In the trial of Artope the state pre-
sented ballots which had been changed
after deposit in the box according to
men who voted, and also presented evil
dence to prove that fifteen ballots were
missing.
In his statement to the jury, Artope
declared that there had been no col
fusion to defraud any of the candidates.
and declared that the ignorance of him
self and associates as to the methods
of conducting an election, and the cir
cumstances under which they received
and counted the votes, were RESPONSE
BILE for the seeming Irregularities He
attributed the discrepancy to uninten-
tional mistakes by himself and the
other three clerks.
