Born in Wilmington in 1s49, he re-

Vote Buying In Wholesale Lots.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec 3.-Never in the
history OF the South has there been such
open trade in the negro votes as there
was here Wednesday in the contest
which resulted in the election for Mayor
of Patrick Walsh, former United States
Senator, over Daniel Kerr, by Il plurality
of over 500. Politicians estimate that
S35, 600 was spent in purchasing $500
votes. 1t is believed the white vote was
equally divided between Mr.. Walsh, Mr.
Kerr, the police and firemen's ring candi-
date, and Judge W. G. Dunbar, candi-
date Of the A. p. A. and the populists.
The latter refused to appeal to the negro
vote. 1t is believed Walsh's victory is
due largely to the use by his managers Of
crisp, new greenbacks, which proved
great temptation to the colored voters.
The negroes were placed in bull pens,
wagon yards and large halls Tuesday
night. All they wanted to eat and drink
was furnished. 1t is asserted that the
managers of the Walsh and Kerr cam
paigns spent more than $1,000 each for
beer alone that night. The negroes,
singing, dancing, picking the banjo and
playing "craps" made merry all night.
Leading business men of the city sat up
with them all night, herded them to the
polls, voted them and nonclaantly paid
for their votes.
The Walsh men led their hosts to the
polls at a. IN. and camped there, despite
the entreatics and threats of the police
men. When the polls opened the negroes
in squad of from three hundred to five
hundred held the voting booths, and it
was impossible for Kerr's adherents to
reach the polls until they had voted.
Walsh workers stood at the entrance
to the voting booth and as each negro
voted he was handed pasteboard slip
saving, "Good for one days work"
In exchange for this Walsh cashier
near by would hand him an envelope
containing a crisp five dollar bill. The
negroes on receiving their money would
howl and caper, and, brandishing their
bills, would rush off to the nearest open
game of "craps." Their joy demoraized
the forces of the opposition, and soon the
negroes began to tear off their Kerr
badges and to put on Walsh ribbons.

Mrs. Hankin gave birth to quadruplets,

four bouncing baby boys.
Everyone in this vicinity is interested
in the boys and besides the many visits
of friends the happy parents are the re-

are healthy and the proud parents are
over joyed at the happening. The heav-
lest of the baby boys weighs little over
eight pounds and the smallest weighs
three and one half pounds.
During the late campaign Mr.. Hankin
took an active part in politics and is an
ardent supporter of ex-candidate W. ).
Bryan. He to-day announced that he
would name the eight pound boy Will
liam Jennings Bryan Hankin, but he
has not as yet decided what names to be-
stow upon the other three. 1t is prob
able though that he will christen the
second largest boy Richard Bland Han
kin.
Hundreds of Mr.. Hankin's friends
called on him today and they found
him overwhelmed with joy and eager to
talk of the addition to his family.

with the woman to return to her rcla-
tivcs, who know her faults and Will glad
lv give her a life of ease and luxury. In
the letter the uncle had enclosed Il check
for S25 to pay her fare to Philadelphia.
Mrs Frost spent y part Of the money and
was robbed of the rest, she says. At the
death of her grandmother it is shald she
will inherit Il comfortable fortune"
