Hays Smith And His £ Policies In Able Speech Hon. Joe Hill Hall Speaks Before Big Gathering In this City this Morning—Speaks Again To night At 8 O’Clock. Following each mftve by former gov ernor Hoke Smith and showing how credit was claimed where credit was not, or where it belonged to others. Hon. Joe Hill Hall addresed a gath ering of citizens of' WaycrosH and Ware county in "Joe Brown Park" this morning. About 500 voters heard the address. \ In the course of his adrress Hon. Joe Hill Hall flayed Hoke Smith and his "progressive democracy" In no uncertain terms. He said it was mighty cheap politics to Jump on the negro,i In the course of his remarks on tbe legistration law. He said tho negro had not been voting, and that to get at the negro the people were shackling themselves with laws. Referring to the tax on dogs, Mr. Hall said the law was aimed at the negro but hit the white man. ’’I said at the time that any man who voted for u tax on dogs would never again be heard of in politics," said he. *T voted ogalnst It. I’m In favor of the dog, because while be hasn’t any vot- state road within five years of it should he extendcf, he said: ‘That’s constructive statesmanship for you, Isn't It? Constructive like the devil. And then your common school system. That’s a great humbug." Too many tax bills was an argument he used, referring to the 25ccnt tax o n fertilizers, which farmers would have had to pay. He said he was even opposed to the present tax o n guano. "Ive been In the legllature twelve years, and they have run those tax leasurcB over mo like a steam roller every time," he said. "I’d like lo be governor Just two years nnd run it over them.” Of Smith’s Macon speech, Hall said; fo ar d ( a smith man, Is regarded as a CARRY SITTER friends of both candidates HAVE SPEAKING DATES. Amerlcus; Ga„ $Aug. 12—Politics In Sumter county Is'rapIlUy warming up. Tomorrow J. E. T. Bowden of Way- cross speaks here in behalf of ex-Gov. Smith. On ,Monday Judge Callaway of Augusta speaks for Brown, and ou next Saturday Joe Hill Hall of Macon will nddresB the Brown club and citi zens generally. The Smith club Is seeking a speech from ex-Gov. Smith before the cam paign closes. The contest is a close one, and although Gov. Smith carried the county two years ago, by a great ly reduced majority, it is an open question as to whether his friends can land it for him this year! A stiff fight Is also on between Col. J. E. Shepard, former representative, and Col. Jeff Taylor for the senator- ship, with the result in doubt. Shep- the governor had never been dono a greater injustice by any man than by Hoke Slmth in hiB remarks on the re fusal of Brown to purchase tho Chat tanooga terminals for the state road. "All Brown said about the terminals being unfit for use wns true. Hobo Smith has hit at the state road in every manner possible. Last night he strong candidate for President of the {Senate In the qvent 0 f his election, having a strong backing throughout the state. Reportg from varioua sections of the Third congressional district seem to indicate that Brown will carry fully as many counties t as two* years ago r when.be captured nine out of fifteen. e» he control a lot of them." He said said ho favored selling the city termin' i an( j n,a y add Sumter and one other sATs the registration bill by which white men had been disfranchised and ne groes enfranchised was a disgrace to the state. 'Hoke says he' done all that's been done," continued Hall. "The lobbyists were out before he became governor. Were it not ear he would not have been a candidate. I claim as much credit as anyon* for puttng them out. He grabbed from us our ung of principles, and said •follow me’." , I did not do it because I knew he would sacrifice them for selfish pur poses. "But be took it, and led you to Hades within two years. "Hoke says Governor Brown sent troops to Durham mines to settle a row between capital and labor. He knows this is not so, and a' man who will be so unfair to a governor is not the man worthy to be your governor. Hoke cays, in talking of the fight on the convict lease system, that the fight was a hard one. It waa, started before Hoke waa governor, and I apd the man you heard here last night Jed the fight. Hoke’ statements about the treasury are misleading. There hasn’t been a surplus In twelve years. What Joe Brown tells about it it true. The truth In this oose may be slander, to Hoke Smith, for be saya Brown bat slandered the treasury. * ^ "Hoke Is so erratic, so desperate, that no man knows what he may do. He's one, thing today, another topior- i als at Chattanooga anl moving out fur ther. How does that strike you?" Hon. Joo Hill Hall will speak, again at 8 o’clock tonight ln "Joe Brown Park." to the list. REFUSING TO PROTECT SCABS POLICEMAN MAY BE DI8MI88ED BY MAYOR. ' Columbus, O.
