Bartlett's charge of irregu larities in the count of the ballots of ' tin s. counties of the Sixth district which gave J. W. Wise a plurality will very probably result in a recount of the 17.000 votes cast in the whole district. The Bibb < ounty executive committee today unanimously granted the request of J. W. Wise for a recount. Judge Bartlett himself concurred in the re quest, declaring that he did not want the office if it was won unfairly or as the result of an inaccurate count, "However," lie added. "I have written proof in my pocket of irregularities in several counties of the district that went against me.” Mr. Wise immediately declared that he demanded a recount in Bibb county, not because of any feeling or discon tent, but because the glaring discrep ancies in the recount of the legislative race showed that the ballots had been improperly handled. As for the other counties alluded to by Judge Bartlett, I he said: "I will join with Judge Bartlett in obtaining a recount of the whole dis trict, so that there can be no possible . doubt as to the real winner and, fur thermore I hereby offer to defray the expenses of the recount in the eountie.- earried by me." Tlie recount in Bibb county In the congressional race will be conducted by ■ four members of tlie executive com mittee. Bartlett and Wise jointly named tills committee. Oliver <’. Hancock, who was defeated ’ for tlie senate from tlie Twenty-second district by 900 votes, lias also demand ! ed a recount and his request, will be acted upon tliis afternoon. The recount in the congressional race I begins as'soon as the recount in the I legislative race is finished, which will probably be early this afternoon. 1 --- - ■ - > THE FATNESS OF HEALTH t Samose Fills Out the Curves and Makes Thin People Fat. If you are thin, your health is not what it should be. if you are losing I weight steadily there is something wrong that should be attended to at n once.

Samose is not a drug or a stimulant; it is a scientific flesh-forming food that restores thin people to a normal condi- I lion of good, healthy flesh. ■ ' There are thousands of unhappy, ner- ■ I vous thin people who would look and feel entirely different if they were only fat ami plump. Let them use Samose ■ and they will soon notice remarkable r results. I These statements are confirmed by Jacobs' offer to refund the money to any one buying and using Samose who . does not gain in weight as promised The risk is all Jacobs.

AWAKES TO FIND HE’S LOCKED IN A SALOON; POLICE RESCUE HIM When C. <). Lampkin, a painter living i at 33 Simpson street, awoke this morning at 3 o’rlock he found himself a prisoner | in a safoon at 105 Decatur street. A few minutes later Policeman Pearson passed by the saloon, heard a noise inside and flashed his pocket light through a window, illuminating the form of a man inside The officer, believing he had caught a burglar, instantly covered him with his revolver, forced him to “hands up." and escorted him to the police sta tion. Lampkin later told Recorder Pro Tern Preston that he had tried to call the po lice station over the telephone from the saloon-prison, but failed to get the num ber. As there was no evidence to show that he had attempted to rob the saloon. Judge Preston fined him $25.75 on the charges of being drunk and idling and loitering A LETTER FROM ROBERT L. COONEY. To the Editor of The Georgian: The writer of the article in your pa per of yesterday makes the error of stating that Mr. George W. Perkins is largely interested in the New York Life Insurance Company. This company be ing a purely mutual one. Mr. Parkins severed all connection therewith when he severed ills connection as vice pres ident. Mr. Perkins is my good friend, of many years standing. It happens that both of us are interested in Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy, because we be lieve in the man and what he stands for. In this way we have been brought together in this campaign, and not by reason of any former business relations. 1 My political views have no connection whatever with my business relations. , Yours truly, RORT. L. COONEY. | Atlant.' Gm. Aug. 23. 1912. Whv are some . • J men more wealthy than you? You believe some men are too wealthy—and you resent it. Now the main reason these men become so wealthy is because they take I advantage of you and thousands like you who do not save. When a , man sax es he is merely surround-1 ing himself with protection, and i vests himself with independence. Isn't that an ideal circumstance to be in? Don’t you feel that you could d<» big things under such conditions?

A decision in the fight to compel the railroads in Georgia to "pull" mileage on trains, w hich has been put squarely up to the railroad commissioners by the action of Governor Brown in veto ing the legislative act. is expected to be reached by next Thursday. Chairman Murphy Candler said that he did not see how the matter can be decided before then and that he prob ably will have to abandon his trip to Washington, where a conference of railroad commissioners of nearly every Southern state will be held in regard to rate classification No. 39. The Atlanta and Macon Railway Company's bond issue of 37,200,000 will be another matter of importance be fore the commission. Leaders in the Travelers Protective association, one of the most powerful organizations among traveling men, are unanimous in deploring Governor Brown's action, although practically all of them believe in his sincerity in the matter. 'l’he traveling men through their or ganizations, the Travelers Protective association, the Commercial Travelers .association and the United Commercial Travelers, intend to wage the fight be fore the commission.
