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, CHARLES M. TYSON., Administrator Estate Mrs. Law son. ■ ♦ THE “OPERATOR.” One of the Finest Spectaculars on the Road To Night. One of the heaviest scenic plays that has ever been seen in Rome will be “The Operator,” which will produced at Nevins opera hous> next Friday Sept. 21st It is said to have scored th* heartiest applause in all the larg est cities of the north during the last two seasons. The twin stars, Wilard and William Newell, fill the leading roles. It is said that eveu the spec atom have difficulty in telling HE TWIN STARS. when Willard is Willard and Wil liam is William, and at the end gives it up. The play uuraveks itself all right in the end. During the progress of the thrill ng story told, there is a storm 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.’* The Newell Brothers are excellent actors, and are said to be assisted by a well selected company.
