petitions. to which it is said there are
800 signatures Of white voters, 10 Mr.. l..
c. Hayne asking him to become their can

Mr.. William K. Miller, a prominent law
yer was spokesman of the committee and
referred 10 Mr.. Hayne as a man of af-
fairs and the architect of his own for
tunes, one whom the people believed TO be
without entangling alliances and who
would be fearless and fair in dealing both
with the people and corporations. Mr..
Hayne expressed his high appreciation of
the compliment paid him and consented to
the use OF his name subject TO a white
primary. He declared it would be his
ambition to give Augusta clean and eco
nomical administration, and to enforce
the laws impartially. If elected, he
would take the chair unhampered by
be without acrimony and without the ex-
pressed the hope that the campaign would
be without acrimony and withouth the ex-
penditure of money except for legitimate
election purposes.
Mr. Hayne is president of the National

number of important corporations is high
in the councils of the Masons and sue
cessful business man.

Mr. Phinizy at that time compiled with
the request of his fellow-citizens TO en-
ter the race and il was believed he would
have no opposition. but the entrance of
Mr. Hayne into the contest insures an
other hard-fought and lively campaign
in Augusta.
