Tho democrats had their New

Privately, Ross told tho colorod

Therefore let us colored people go

OUR CANDIDATE.
Judge James K. Hines was born
about 3$ years ago in Washington
county, Ga. His father’s name was
Joseph Hines. The son was roared
on a farm, and was taught to do all
kinds of work usual on a southern
cotton plantation, Mr. Joe Hines,
The father. was
noted for his honesty and upright
dealings. He was successful in ac¬
cumulating property and was given to
hospitality and deeds of charity. He
was a devout Methodist and gave
much of his means for the support
of the church at home and abroad.
Many of the old the preachers that will bear
testimony did for to fact of few the men
more the support gos¬
pel than Mr. Hines. Many an empty
larder was filled by his generosity*
The his poor especially, were the objects
of care and open purse.
From 18G2 till tho close of the war
there was great want in many sec¬
tions of the south Soldiers wives
and widows with their little ones
were in great need. share Washington de¬
county had its of these
pendent ones, that somebody had to
care for. Mr. Hines owned a fine
mill and gave all tho toll of the mill
for two years to teed the poor of his
county, including soldiers. the families of the
confederate It was this act
of charity magnificent on the part mill of tho owner
that a property was
saved from General Sherman’s torch.
When Sherman marchod tluough
Georgia, firo spreading desolation with
and sworu, ‘’Uncle Joe Hir.es j r
of property orders was from spared commanding by tho issuance offi
tho
cor to that effect.
So many families had lived from
the proceeds of this mill that they
went in droves it is said, to meet
the invading army and begged that
the property pe spared for tho sako
of tho women and children. It was
spared. It stands today a monu¬
the ment to and tho philanthropy Georgia of one of
best truest men ever
had as a citizen* An old blind mule
was all that Judge raiders. Hines’ father lost
by Sherman’s His and mill, a
fine homo, his corn, cotton stock
of every kind escaped tho torch and
oonfistication.
Immediately after thw war great
want and suffering among tho peo¬
ple drew upon tho generosity ot Mr.
I linos in another form. He had
about forty of his kindred to feed
and care for at one time until they
could find employment. Having lost
their property by tho incendiarism
of Sherman’s array, they were for¬
tunate in finding food and shelter at
the home of theii kinsman, A gen¬
tleman who lives near by says that
ho and Col. It, E. Lester gleaned
wheat together from tho fields of
Mr. Joo Hines tho last year of tho
war.
By tho wav, it is said that Colonel
Lester was educated by Mr. Hines,
and also General Claude Wilson.
Both men attained honorable dis¬
tinction—tho former being now a
member of congress from tho 1st
district.
Judge Hines, the Peoples party
candidate for Governor was educa
cated for a lawyer. lie graduated
at Emory College with the first
honor. From Emory he went lit¬ to
Harvard whero he completed his
erary and law studies.
Judge Hines has served Bf
in the legislature and four years as
J udge of the Middle Circuit. As a
judge, his record stamps him one of
the very best the state over had. As
r lawyer he rauks with the best—en¬
joying tho respect and confideuce of
his J professional Ilines is brethreu. good and
udge a man a
great mau. He is great in his mod¬
est simplicity; wiso in pursuing the
even tenor of his way, knowing
that the sneers and lived flings and of will his op¬
ponents aro short soou
pass to the eternity of forgetfulness.
J udge Hines is one of the few
who is willing to be sacrificed for
principle and truth that is sure to
win some day. Like Henry Clay,
he had “rather be right than presi¬
dent,”
Judge Hines is a member of the
Methodist church, and at tho time
of r.is nomination was President of
the Board of Trustees of Emory office
Colloge He resigned this his
however, thereby evidencing lo vT e
for his church and Alma Mater and
not wishing that either become in¬
volved in the present political con¬
test through any act of his.
If the people Judge only Hines knew is, the he would man¬
ner of man
be governor sure. With a big brain
and heart, trained in the channels of
knowledge and and Christian vir¬
tues—with a feeling sense of the
peoples’ needs and lofty ideas of
duty, he can afford to suffer and
wait till the voice'of the people is
heard and the cause of right tri¬
umphs.

davits lias the reference speech which the affi¬
to. It was made
by Judge Mines in defense of S. 8.
Sasser, colored, charged with the
murder of my brother, Shep Hodges,
also colored.
Ilodges, Judge Hines did not call Shep
did he my brother, an animal, nor
use any bitter words against
either my brother or my race of poo¬
pie.
That false statement was gotten
against up to Judge prejudice the colored people
Hines. I assure you
it is not having any influence here
in Bullock county where the facts
are known, and I hope the colored
people everywhere have too much
sense to be influenced by any such
stuff.
I desire to say further that I also
heard the speech of Judge Hines at
StUesboro. on October 2S, 1891, in
defonse of William Waters, charged
with rape upon a colored woman. In
this speech Judge Hines said nothing
against the colored race, he did not
say the women of the colored lace
were prostitutes, virtuous. nor did he say they
were not
I regret that Judge Hines has been
slandered. I want to see him gov¬
ernor of Georgia. I expect to vote
for him and I hope all the colored
people will help to elect him. I bc
lievo he is a friend to out* race, and
about all the colored people here are
going to vote for him.

Ou last Wednesday morning about 2
o’clock, Mr. Horace Moore while passing
the store of T. M. Porter, heard the gong on
the till strike, and saw a dim light shining
through the front window Mr. Moore
ou investigating the matter discovered a
negro boy working at the money till. Mar¬
shal Raily was notified and the young burg¬
lar captured.
For some time past there has been vast
amount of shooting going on in the rear of
the old F. T. Tennille residence, and on
several occasions shot have struck residen¬
ces in that neighborhood. From the report,
it seems that shot guns, pistols and rifles
are used, ahd the latter is extremely dan¬
gerous as a stray ball is liable to hurt some¬
one.
