DARK INDEED
Is the Charge Against Judge J. K.
Hines.
WHERE IS THE MONEY
» * . I ■ -
That was Left the Orphans and
which Passed into his
hands? Will They Ev-
, er Recover it From
the Populists?
iTbe Sandersville Progress Bays:
In his speech delivered in the
court house yard at Sauderevill on
Monday, September 3rd. candidate
H ines made a statement in regard
to his connection with the Lawson
1 estate.
Capt. Chas. M. Tyson, the ad
■ miuistrator of this estate, requests
space in The Progress for the pub
lication of the following facts
which appear over his own| signa
i ture -
Capt. Tyson feels that inasmuch
as candidate Hiues has brought
k the matter before the public in «
pclitical speech, it is but justice
| to him, the orphans of Capt. and
Mrs. Lawson, the gentlemen who
are his bondsmen, as administra
tor of the estate, and all persons
concerned, that the truth should
be made known to the people gen
erally.
capt. tyson’s statement,
I Editor Progress Judge Hines is
quoted as saying in his speech ot
] the 3rd. inet. "that he could sad
dle the loss of these funds upon
those orphans, but he intended
they should not loose a dollar even
’ if it should become necessary for
I him and his wife and his children
to give up their home to satis y
the claims of the administrator 01
that estate.”
Since Judge Hines has seen fit
. I to speak of this matter, in such a
manner, in a political speech, I
I deem it right and proper as the ad
ministrator of Mrs. Lawsons es
tate, to say that I cannot appreci
; ate the above remarks, as I know
of no way whereby he could sad
dle the lose ottbeeo “funds upon
the children except by base dis
i honesty and surely he did not in
tend, no matter wh't his real pur
( pose might be, to intimate such a
thing in a public political speech,
the object of which I presume was
to gain votes, or else be estimates
the integrity of bis hearers very
low.
Judge Hines sought Mrs. Lawson
at her home and requested the
privilege ot investing the funds,
promising to consult her whenever
I a good opportunity presented it
self. With this understanding
apd with the injunction that he
pay off at once a debt upon the
Oconee plantation, he obtained
the funds.
Prior to Mrs. Lawson's death,
■ which occurred May Bth> 1893, he
wrote to her without having sub
mitted anything for her approval,
that he had paid off the debt upon
the 'Oconee plantation and had
invested -and paid out the balance
of the funds as stated in said let.
ter, which letters happenes to be
4n my possession.
According to that letter he did
manage to pay a few drafts and
bills sent to him for payment by
Mrs. Lawson, and to invest $2,-
000 as claimed.
There was then left about $12,-
| . 500, which he claimed had been in
vested as follows:
About $4,000. Cancelling debt
on Oconee place.
About $4,000, In Georgia State
bonds.
About $2,000. Loaned and se
cured by deed to $6,000 of property.
The $2,500 loan was claimed to
have been made upon property at
Tallulah Falls,and the s2,oooJoan
upon Atlanta property.
The truth is that he failed to
pay one dollar upon the debt on
I the Oconee plantation, and every
dollar that has been paid some
thing over $3,200 has been paid
by me.
He has failed to produce the
four SI,OOO State of Georgia bonds
B or the money.
He failed to lend the $2 500 on
the Tallulah Fall’s property chim
ingthat the party delayed going to
Atlanta untill after Mrs. Lawson's
death and then he did net feel au
ihonzed to lend it to anyone.
He failed to take deed to the
$2,000 loan, claimed to have been
made in Atlanta. No interest has
has ever been paid on it. I can get
no satisfaction about jthe matter
and am not sure that it is a loan
at all.
Thus of the $12,500 he has been
able to produce about one-third,
leaving about $3,000 due. He has
attempted to secure me Jfor about
$5,000, promising to straighten up
matters, which promise he has
failed to keep.
Owing to the fact that hie let
ters and telegrams to me, were
stolen from my private desk in the
office (except a few which I had
fortunately placed elsewhere in a
safe) I will not attempt to refer to
them, or allow’ them to cast any
doubts npon the bona tides of his
statements Jin this matter, and
will content myself by having
based my statements upon ’those
in’my possession. >
Judge Hines has had over six
months within which to settle, and
I think it is about time for him to
exercise some of the noble (senti
ments he expresses; but in this
ease exercising them simply mean
b?ing honest. Very respectfi lly,

gives it up. The play uuraveks
itself all right in the end.
During the progress of the thrill

scene that is calculated to send
the cold shivers down one’s back
and bring disagreeable visions of
tornadoes demolishing towns and
rampant ocean.
Another little incident is the
breaking of a trestle and the fall of
a heavy engine twenty feet to the
stage. It is hard on the engine, for
an explosion follows an chaos is
the result. The total destruction
of a ship in full view of the audience
might also be mentioned as part
and parcel of the “Operator.’*
