Tho democrats had their New York hireling, Ross, but Graves and Wood skinned him alive.

Let us go to the polls and vote to keep the liberty we have. If we continue to vote the democratic ticket wo will soon be driven by a worse taskmaster than in slavery timet, for we could by good behavior the lash, but poverty can be avoided by none when there is no money in the laud.

THAN TO VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. VOTE WITH THE PEOPLES’ PARTY 1! 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.

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. Respectfully, Martin hodges, Colored.
