Tha lumber company at whose camp

The application was given approval
for the reasons urged by Mr. Alex

on the ground that the sentence had
been longer than would have been the
case had he hoen able to serve a
shorter one in n private camp.

that he again would carry hla state.
After nearly three hours spent In his

ELECTION IN -BIBB WAS QUIET
ONLY HALF A VOTE IS POLLED
Rain Came as the Bulletins Commenced,
But the Crowd Remained Until the
News Became Too Tafty—Vote to.be
Consolidated at tioon Today. .
The election Yesterday'' passed off
quietly, and a Small vote was polled,
especially In the country •precincts,
where the vote was exceedingly light.
With the coming of night a crowd
gathered in front of The Telegraph of
fice to watch the first of the bulletins.
These had barely began to come In wfien

At first It was plain that the bulletins
were of the kind to relieve the tedium of
waiting, being wild guesses and esti
mates. and the crowd took them good
naturedly. Then os the night grew On
and the rain continued to fall, and the
bulletlna looked Taffy, the rain beedme
wetter and the people began to notice it
more. Then the crowd began to get
away, and by 11 o'clock there was none
to see the remaining bulletins.
It waaTL noticeable fact that very few
negroes voted. Now and then some of
the old war horses, those 4rho had In' the
days gone by taken great interest In the
national elections, could be seen around
the polls, but it

There were over one thousand votes poll

It was said last night that it was
probable that the republicans would con

ground that it was without a justice of

that votera of other difetricts were al

BAD COMPANY LED
THIS YOUTH WRONG
ATLANTA. Nov. 3.—The finding by
detectives of the'picture Qf a pretty
young woman in the pocket book ol
Otis BrOgdon, 23 years of age. scion
of highly respected and Influential pa
rents In.* North Georgia county, prov
ed the key to the motive thdt prompt
ed the young man to operate one of
the cleverest steals unearthed in At
lanta In a long while.
Behind the bars of a police station
cell, Brogdon. a young man of neat
appearance, with a pleasant and Intel-
gent face, frankly confessed that he
Is a gas meter robber, and attributed
hls downfall to his love for a woman
and bad associates. Declaring he has
nAver gambled in any form and that
he does not drink, the young prisoner
exclaimed:
•Women and bad associates have
led m# to this prison cell. My natural
Instincts and training would never
have caused me to steal. This Is all
the excuse I have for my conduct.”
Toung Brogdon, who boards at 177
Luckle street, was arrested Monday
afternoon by Detective Roberts, who.
with Detectives Harper and Doraett,
has been for several days trying, to
solve the mystery of the many ga*
meter robberies in the city. He was
'taken into custody after he had-been
shadowed for some time and had bean
seen to loot several meters.
Brogdon was connected with the At
lanta Gas Light Company for two
years and knew well how to operate
hls game. He would-,go Into a resi
dence, representing himself as a mater
reader for the gas company, and, stat
ing that he wanted to read the meter,
would theh rob It of all Its coin.
He would open the meters with a spe
cially prepared key, which he admit*
he had made for this purpose. .
While confessing his guilt,, young
Brogdon Insists that he only operated
on two days—one day last motith and
again yesterday. On these two occa
sions, he says, he obtained about 260
or 175. all in quarters. These quar
ters he had changed into greenbacks.
Tho detectives say the gas company
last month alone lost more than S300
by the work of meter robbers, but
Brogdon declares he did not get all
of this money.
The young man says hls arrest has
taught him a lesson and that he wgnts
to begin life anew. He will probably
be tried Wednesday In police court.

ter King died she also rejoiced-; that
Mrs. Rucker stopped going to her church

there: that Mrs. Rucker, though very
wealthy, would visit the poor house
(arm, saying she wanted to see what It
was like, as she expected to go there
some day. • •
