the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is
being celebrated. The "shot" was made from outside the gates and shows the
long Bweep of historic Broad street, the main artery of the exposition. To the
left can be seen one of the capitols of the Palace of Liberal Arts and Manu
factures which covers nearly eight acres of grounds and which houses some

1 A. S. Solesbee, Republican candi
date for representative from Macon
county, issued a statement Monday
in which he placed himself on record
as opposing the absentee voters law.
J. A. Porter, Democratic candidate
for representative, has also an
nounced opposition to the law.
Mr. Solesbee's statement follows :
"To my fellow citizens:
"I take this method to express to
you my position with reference to
tie Absentee Vote law which. has, and
is, causing so much strife among our
people. When this law was first en
acted it could 'have possibly been jus
tified, but it has served its day and
should be removed from our statutes
at the earliest moment possible.
"the way in which this law is be
ing administered is making a gaping
wound in our count yior wnicn mere
is no balm. It stands without a par
allel except the bloody code drafted
by Draco for ancient Athens. I am
unalterably opposed to it.
"I will give to you a little later my
platform, every plank of: which I
think will be sufficiently strong to
bear up the weight of a brave and
generous peoole who acknowledge
no criterion bbut success. (
