In his charge to th Mecklenburg grand $ury at Charlotte a Monday, judge Biggs told the Jury It aa its duty to Investigate the charge of corruption In the recent Democratic primary la that city. Tuesday's Election Need Probing. "We live under a republican form of government," said Judge Biggs. ' and the cornerstone upon which it is built is the ballot. If this be cor rupt, our whole system of govern ment is undermined. It, therefore. should be the supreme concern of every honest and partlotic citizen to do what he can to see that the ballot is kept pure and uncorrupt and to lend every reasonable effort to the prevention of bribery and corruption at elections and to thi3 end give his support and influence to any effort to punish those who violate the statutes enacted for the protection of the ballot." The court after reading the stat utes-as to bribery and as to giving away Intoxicating liquors at elec tions, said: "The conditions existing in your city at the recent municipal primary and elsewhere in the State demand a rigid and thorough investigation by the grand jury. If any credence is to be given current reports I do not refer to irresponsible rumors, but both from the pulpit and the press of your city, charges of corruption and bribery have been made and these charges affecting the integrity of your electorate must not be per mitted to pass unnoticed and I charge you to make an exhaustive and searching examination of these charges of corruption and bribery and use of whiskey at your recent primary. God to the bottom of the matter, gentlemen of the grand jury. Spare no time or expense to ferret out the guilty! The machinery of the law is at your command. The officers of this court will give you such aid and assistance as they can." Although the primary was a local affair and provided for by local laws, it falls nevertheless within the gen eral scope of the State election law and the sanctity of the ballot is pro tected by its provisions penalizing tfce giving of either liquor or money in return for votes. The grand jury at once began to work, questioning all who might have first-hand knowl edge of violations of the law. UNION MEN ARE ARRESTED.
