Large Family Gathering at Pine
Log Last Week.
The reunion of the Upshaw
families and their relatives occurred
at the Upshaw farm near Pine Log
last Thursday and was an event
highly enjoyed by all present.
There was a large crowd of the |
relatives, friends and neighbors of
the family present. A sumptuous
dinner and a watermelon feast at a
large spring on the Upshaw farm
were among the principal features
ot the day’s programme.
Vocal and instrumental music
added to the pleasures of the oc
casion, and a history of the family
was read, and a number of enter
taining speeches were made.
Among the earliest settlers in
the vicinity of Pine Log were
James Upshaw and Lucinda Ham,
his wife. They had twelve chil
dren, two sons and ten daughters
and from this family has grown
one of the largest families in Geor
gia. Most of the children of this
pioneer household have passed
away, having reacted a ripe old
age and left grown up families of
their own.
The descendants of James
Upshaw and Lucinda Ham now
number about three hundred, as
follows: twelve children, 75 grand
children, 175 great grandchildren,
and 50 great great grandchildren.
Most of this large family were
present at the reunion. About
half of this remarkable family live
in Bartow county, chiefly in Pine
Log district, and embraces the
Upshaws, Maxwells, Vincents and
Dysarts who are among the most
substantial and valuable citizens
of the county.
Other members of the family
live in adjoining counties and some
of them in other states.

HON. GORDON LEE,
Who will have no Opposition in the
Congressional Race,
FITE ON TOM WATSON
Judge Believes Watson
Made Mistake,
PERSONALLY HONEST
His Candidacy and Purpose to
Injure the Democratic
Party.
In discussing the candidacy of
Thomas E-. Watson for president
with a News and Courant reporter
the other day, Judge A. W. Fite
said:
“Tom Watson has made a grave
mistake. I have always believed
in his personal honesty, but he is
erratic, unsafe and visionary. He
perhaps has visions of good gov
ernment for the people, and cer
tainly of leadership for himself;
but his visions will never be real
ized along the Hne he is running.
He is simply trying to defeat de
mocracy now, hoping to be its
leader hereafter. His desire for
leadership is so strong that he
would rather, right or wrong, lead
to defeat than to follow to victory.
He knows that if Parker is elected
we will have an honest democratic
administration, and the white peo
ple of the south will be satisfied,
and that his chances of leadership
be forever gone.”
“Judge, what do you consider his
aim?”
“My fear is that he will get
enough votes in doubtful states to
defeat Parker and elect Roosevelt,
and thatjs what he hopes to do.”
