Here if'some first hand testimony
about those negro appointments of
Hoke Smith from Editor Vaughn, of
the Mllledgevllle News, that would
seem to be worth all the verbose de¬
nials of the uninformed Fusion or¬
gans put In a bunch:
•‘The anonymously edidted publica¬
tion down th® afreet, commenting on
the fact that some circulars were be¬
ing distributed In this county refer¬
ring to Hoke Smith’s negro appoint¬
ments while Secretary of the Interior,
says there Is no truth In th® statement
also that adds the appointments statement from were Mr. .made E. and U.
a
Hines’ false father-in-law
Its position. T
paper Is causing these circulars to be
distributed in this county and we have
a few more left. We were in Wash¬
ington Smith during the same time that
Hoke was and we know that
Mr. Smith did cause the appointments
of negroes and also that he caused
the dismissal of at least one good
Georgia Recorder white ' dink different boy. If It the Union
says is either
ignorant of if the the truth or Is trying to
elve. Several of those negroes had
better and more agreeable jobs, with
larger per year salaries wilh and than 80 more had. holiday Tni

father-in-law ment and It is no use deny for anybody’s those
to try to rec¬
ords, the no matter Hoke how much it may help
out said Smith in his cam¬
paign of false statements and abuse.
Those circulars contain the names,
salaries and nd positions posif of the negroes
appointed, taken from the official gov¬
ernment records, together with their
pioturee, and some of the circulars will
appear on the streets today. If you
are In the habit of doing your own
carefully. thinking read That one of these circulars
