BOOKKEEPER ON
TRIAL As $4,000
EMBEZzLER
R. A. Wilson's Defense Is That
Discrepancy Is Due to His
Errors.

With the State contending that he
is an embezzler and the defense
claiming that he simply is an incom-
petent bookkeeper and not a criminal
r. A. Wilson, former secretary and
treasurer of the S. w. Bacon Produce
Company, at No SO West Alabama
street, went on trial in Judge Hills
Court Tuesday on a charge of larceny
after trust.
Wilson is accused Of making away
with about $500 OF his employers
money during the years of 1911 and
1912. His attorneys, George Spence
and Walter McEreath, will contend
that the mistakes found in Wilson $
books were due to his lack Of knowl-
edge of bookkeeping and not to any
criminal act.
Employer on Stand.
Mr.. Bacon was the first witness to
take the stand after the trial opened
Tuesday. ell said that Wilson had
served him sometime as treasurer and
bookkeeper and that he never sus-
pected that anything was wrong until
one day he gave him 800 to deposit
in bank and later found that he
had deposited only $50.
Then an audit of the books. Sep
TENDER s, 1913, revealed the fact that
there was an apparent shortage of
several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bacon said that during the
time Of his service at the produce
company Wilson spent half Of his
time at work and the other half at
ball games.
Books Full of Errors.
Audit J. II. Cordes testified that he
examined the books kept by Wilson
and found hundreds of errors in them.
He said that according to the show
ing of the books amounts ranging
from 81 to $3.50 had been misappro-
priated at different times. The audi
tor said that Wilson offered no ex-
planatio when the mistakes were
called to his attention. He appeared
TO be highly excited and worried over
tn mattr but could throw no light
upon it, said Cordes.
Shortly after the alleged shortage
was discovered Wilson went to Cuba,
but returned to Atlanta and was in
dicted on a charge of larceny after
trust

is to get acquainted to make

For State Senator

w IlCIl YOU go 10 tHC IN'iIS

ing To find three men who are
asking for your votes for
State Senator and ii stands
you in hand to stop and think
well before YOU make your
cross after the name of the
man YOU are voting for.
This is an important office
one that cannot and should
not be voted for until YOU
are very sure that the man
is in every way qualified to
fill the position with credit to
the District.
You are not eIecting a man
for one session Of the leSisla- :
turc and if he does not suit
YOU can charge two years
from now. Your Senator is
heing elected toE six wears
Matters of great Importance

fore him during that time and
YOU must consider we'll whet =
her he is qualified to act in
tel|igently and honestly.
The state is burdencd with
a large debt on account of the
extravagances of the past ?
administrations. Our state
Institutions have been sadly
hampered because of the lack
of funds to successfully car
ry on their work. Money
which should have been spent
wisely has been squandered
and you are now burdencd
with taxes caused BY the ex-
travagance of Democrats.
If you vote for O. p. Nit
ten you will vote for a man
who has made a success Of
his own business and while
not rich man he has prop
erty interests and pays G.
nough taxes in four of the
counties of the District so
that it will be for his own per
sonal interests as we'll as
yours that he stands for an
economical administration.
Mr.. Mitten has for many
years in robustness in this Dis
trict been closely connected
with the farmer andthe bust
ness man and in the. counties
where he has been in business
and where he is best known
they are most generous in
their approval of his candida
cy for State Senator. Mr..
Mitten's record is clean; he
has never been an office seek
er or office holder. He was
the unanimous choice of the
Republican party for this of
flee and was also the choice
of many Progressives.
And in many instances in
the Primary election recciv-
ed as many or more votes
than the candidates on the
Democratic and Progressive
tickets combined
We earnestly ask the vot-
crs at the polls on November
3rd. to carefully consider how
they vote and when they cast
their vote for State Senator
sec that it reads:

Care of Oriental Rugs

Oriental rugs will last an ordinary life
time. when handled with care, but they
will grow soiled and unsightly unless
properly cleaned. They can and should
be scrubbed and secured. The process,
which professional cleaners use, is plain
scrubbing with soap, water and brush,
and thorough drying in the open air, at
ter rinsing. In the case Of small rugs,
they may be scrubbed at home in a tub,
and rinsed with a hose. The process OF
professional rug renovators begins with
removing the dust by the vacuum method
The rug is turned face down and scrubbed
then rinsed, rolled and dried.
