SHOWING UP HINES.

Atlanta, Sept. lL-(Spectal.)-If there u
a man In Georgia who deserves the right
eous contempt and condemnation of the
colored people that man Is Judge James
K. Hines, the Populist candidate for gov
ernor, who la now making every effort
.n his power to elicit the votes of the
has traduced, to gsln a politi
cal office.
Every day some new proof showing the
real feeling of contempt that Hines has
r°r the colored people, comes to light.
Here Is the latest. After resdlng It no
self-respeptlng negro can think of voting
for him:
The SUiteboro Star of August 10, 18M.
charged Judge Jamas K. Hines, Populist
nom nee for governor, with avylng in a
public op jech that a. n*gro was a brute
ana then women were common proeti-

Editor Banner: -My attention has been
called to the following extract from the
Statesboro ‘Star: 1
“Kev. J. H. Anderson, colored, Informs
us that after due .consideration, he has
decided that It behooves the colored peo
ple of this eounty to act with the Demo
cratic party In eounty and state elections.
He informs us that he had at first ex.
peeted to vote the Pordtlst ticket, but
after hearing that Judge Hines, the Pop
ulist nonfireo for governor, has said in
a public speech that the negro was no
more than a common brute, and denounced
the women of the colored race In such
terms ^thut It will not admit of public
of this kind and cannot see how any
other of his race can do it.
It Is absolutely false, that I said In a
public speech that the negro la no more
than A common brute and that I de
nounced the colored women so that It
would not do to go Into the public prints.
Neither In public or private utterance
have 1 used such language or anything
like It.
llev. J. H. Anderson has been Imposed
upon. 1 would be glad If he would furnish
his authority. Yours truly,

Chairman Clay. Denies That He Vlas

Harris.
Atlanta. Soph ll.-<8pec!al.)-Chntr
man Clay this afternoon said he had
not received the resignation of Marlon
Harris of Macon as a member of ihc
executive committee. Watson's paper
today declares that Mr. Harris Inis rv
s'gned because the Populist demand
for Populists nt the polls was given no
consideration liy the executive commit
tec nt Its meeting Inst week.
Later advices from Walker county
show that wc were in error as lo our
statement oif th* vote of that county In
the recent senatorial primary. The offi
cial report of the vote shows an even
more gratifying result to the friends of
Maj. Bacon than slated In our Issue of
yesterday. The exact figures are us fol
lows:
The total vote cast was 858
Of these Mai. Bacon received 712
Mr. Garrard 129
Mr. Turner 12
Mr. Wsjlih 5
From this statement It will be seen
that Mai. Bacon carried Walker county
by neatly five t'u one over all the other
candidates combined.
Mr. Gordon Lee. a young, progressive
and Influential farmer, was uomintted
for representative by a very handsome
majority. Mr Lee hue been especially
conspicuous in develping the rtsouicts
of hie county and will prove a most
valuable member of the next house.
BACON AT LUMPKIN.
He Makes a Misterly Effort for the
Cause of Democracy,
Lumpkin. Se D l. 11.-<Special.)—By In-
vltatfcm of the executive committee of
this county, MaJ. A. O. Bacon delivered
an address her* last Saturday in the
Interest at the cause ot Democracy.
While Maj. Bacon Is a candidate for the
senate, hie epeeoh was not Intended to
advance hds own cause, but was sim
ply for the benefit of his party. That It
accomplished the purpose Intended
there c:ui be no doubt. It waa indeed
sn able presentation of tho principles of
Democracy, and Muj. Baton clearly
showed that the evils whlcn we are
now suffering are ‘attributable to He-
publlcan misrule. Ill* references to tho
Populists, while delivered in a kindly
manner, were «uch that must have con
vinced them of their errors, and the
speech will undoubtedly cause numbers
of them to return to the Democratic
party. He bae dbne the party great
good and he certainly lee •.—.■«> tho
gratitude of the people of this cunty.
There were 1.000 oeole present, and
nothing but the highest praise tf the
opeech can be heard from any of them.
At the conclusion of Maj. Bacon's ad
dress an Intermlastbn wa* had for din

dreaeed by Hon. W. s. Boyette.thoDem-

London, Sept. 11.—A dispatch t» the
Times from Wel-Hai-Wel today says
that u committee composed of foreign
ers, after examining the incidents of
•tho naval fight of July 26. declares that
tho Japanese were the aggressors. The
Chinese, the committee adds, were
earful to avoid iih* appearance of pro
vocation, but the Japanese 'wtiy’.ald the
Chinese, selecting a. good position. The
Chinese senior ship escaped, making a
running fight, while greatly damaging
her pursuer. The second Chinese lhip
fought until her ammunition was ex
haunted and two of hor guns were de
stroyed. The same morning, i t appears,
the Jupaneie arrived from Seoul and at
tacked the Chinese at AShan. These
operations were evidently well con-
cooted.

Times dispatch, la now collected at

Continuing, th* Times correspondent
cables that both the Chinese and Jap
anese armies In Corea are seemingly in
active. Th? Japanese have ordered the
Ooreon.* to cut their hulr as n token
of subjection. The Coreons refused to
do so. preferring to fight for thotr lib
erty.
