THE CHARGE is DENIED
BY HON. JOE II. HALL
Ills Speech At AmeriCuS
MisreOreSented.

Hon. Joe Hill Hall, who made an
address in Americus on Saturday, has
been charged with certain statements
regarding the registration and dis
franchisement law as applied to color
ed voters. These charges are abso,
lutely false and misleading and calcu-
lated to do great injustice to Nj.
Hall.
In signed statement Mr.. Hall tells
exactly what he did say upon the sub
Ject and sets himself right before the
public. His card is as follows:
THE statement contained in the Az
lanta Jounal of yesterday that I de-
clared that the disfranchisement bill
was an illegal measure, and told the
negroes present that they could go to
the court house, register and vote, is
not true. l never at any time said
that the so-called Acknowledgement
amendment to the constitution of this
state was an illegal measure.
"On the contrary, I regard it as
perfectly valid. l did not tell the
negroes wko were present that they
could go to the court house, register
and vote
What | did say was that the So
called disfranchisement amendment
could not, and did not, of itself ue-
vent the negroes from registering for
the reason there was no officer of the
law who was authorized to enforce
the provisions of the amendment.
That any person who was qualified
under the old law, could now regis
ter, that it would take an act of the
legislature to put the suffrage amend
ment now in the constitution into ef-
feet. and that unless this was done at
the next session of the legislature. We
might have trouble with our election
laws in the next presidential laws.
Il took occasion LJ say this, in 10
partisa nsense, but as Governor Smith
in all his speeches had taken the DO
sition that the amendment was suf1i-
cient in itself to disfranchise the ne
groes. l thought that attention should
be called to the fact that an act Of
the legislature was necessary in or
der to enforce this amendment

Smith by over 100 votes tomorrow.
The Smith men are laying low and gre
claiming nothing in particular, but
that their candidate will win. Their
