ROBERTA. CRAWFORD COUNTY. GA„ FRIDAY, JULY 15. 1892.
“A Fourth Party.”
Being an old and astute politician and
having carefully studied and analyzed
the Democratic, Republics and Third
party political platforms, a id finding
them all rotten and corrupt to tht. c >re,
of evil and only evil tendencies, ealeu-
lated in their nature, design, and and purpose de-
to bring disaster, ruin, poverty
struction to the masses, and believing
is yet hope of averting the disas-
trous ruin that threatens our country by
organizing a fourth political party simi-
lar and yet dissimilar to either of the
aforesaid parties. Similar to some <>f the
foregoing, as it is to be made up entire
iy of the_^ rag-tag, bob-tnil, dis-
satisfied, disaffected, disgruntled
grumbling, growling, whining members
of other political parties, and dissiraihr
as do man is allowed to become member
of this party for our trade or influence,
I hereby c*ll a mass meeting of such
men as above described to meet on Au-
the 1st between the hours of land
2 o'clock at night for the purpose of or-
ganizing and fully equipping for the war
this fourth political party. When fuly
organized we will el ct by billot a surii
cieut number of men to fully, secretly,
stealthily and sneakingly canvass alt the
entire county of Crawford. It shall be
the duty of canvassers to lie or misrepre¬
sent. and throw their nasty filth and
slime and even puke on all other politi¬
cal organizations. I hereby notify all
interested parties that no one shall bold
office in or even become a member of
this party until he fully endorses and
subscribes to the following oath:
“I A. B., in the presence of these., my
disgruntled brethren, do most sincerely
promise and swear that old Jim Blount.
W. J. Northen and C. F. Crisp are per-
sonalI J' individually hail responsible for
the drouths, cyclones, storms, short
crops and low prices of farm products in
the gtate of Georgia. and
I furthermore do solemnly promise
swear that I will not, under ai y
circumstances whatever, vote for auy
man for office who can read or write . r
whose state and county tax amouut to
more than two dollars a year.
1 do furthermore most solemnly and
sincerely swear by all that is good and
bad, with all the devil and vim there
is in me, that I do honestly and sincerely
believe that the properly accumulated
bv the hard licks, industrv and economy
of our wealthiest men ought to be divid-
ed equally Detween the lazv. disgruntled
members of this party. Aud I further-
morc swear I will never be satisfied until
this is done. I furthermore tip toe and
rock back on my dew-claws, and most
solemnly, sincerely, willingly and anx-
iously promise and swear that I never
will plant more than a half crop
of anything and will under
no circumstances half work;
and furthermore, swear that I will
do . a! „ ! _ 1 , to . kee P ui y. neighbors . ,, from .
working theirs or paying their debts,
and to cap the climax, I do, with all the
earnestness of my soul, from the bottom
of my heart, sincerely promise and swear
that I will take my wile’s chickens, but¬
ter and egg s to town and trade for whis¬
key, Beiieving get big drimkand talk politics. above
a party made up of tire
mentioned material would revolutionize
the whole country and be a good thing
I urge all who can conscieutiou3ly take
the above oath to be prompt in meeting
at the above time aud place.

the strangest of all is to see W. W *

Democratic Rule.
We bad the pleasure to attend the
grand Democratic rally and barbecue at
Yatesville la*t Friday, it was the big-
gest thing of the season, and a complete
success in every respect; fully two tnou-
sand people stand were occupied pie-eut. by old, hoary
The was
headed Democrats (and we believe all
old men are Democrats).
The meeting was preside! ov r bv
Judge Trippe, ex-judge of 'he supreme
court. Chas. L. Bartlett, T. B. Cuba-
ness and Robert Whitfield were the
tois of the day; each one a caud date for
congress from the sixth district. Thcv
did their best, and it is useless to say
that they made able addresses; w- have
never heard better. Rev. George
W. White was given an hour
to tell something about the l bird
party. He was all alone, for he had
but few listeners that were of his w ay nf
thinking. Therefore he labored under
disadvantages. He made a splendid trowd
speech of his kind and held the
together throughout the day entire passed” piogres- off
of his address. The
pleasantly for everybody, aud all went
home well pleased with the exercises of
the day, and we trust stronger Democrats
than they ever were before,

A Good Man Gone.
Last Tuesday night, at five minutes
past 10 o’clock, Mr. W. J. McAfee de¬
parted this life after an illness of about
teu days. He was confined to his bed
the entire space of that time and endure.1
considerable pain; but he bore his suffer-
ings with a patient and heroic fortitude.
M'r. McAfee had been a citizen ol
Crawford county all his’life, and for a
number of years he had been a resident
of Knoxville.
At the time he was taken sick and for
a number of years before, he was doing
business with Wright & Allen, of
place, and he had gained their utmost
confidence as a man of integrity, hon-
esty and uprightness, together with
large circle of friends, who bow their
heads in sorrow in having to depart from
him. He was laid to rest in trie K ox-
ville cemetery Wednesday evening at 5
o’clock.
The pall Rearers were: F. H. Wright,
N. P. Allen, J. F. Andrews,C. N. Pierce,
W. R. Pierce, Z. T. Harris, R. C. Le-
Sueur, C. T. Blasingame, W r . P. Blasm-
game, C. W. McGee, E. B. Trammell aud
H. F. Sanders. He was about 37 years
of age and leaves a grief-stricken wile,
two small children and a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn his loss,
He was a true type of a high-toned
Chris iau gentleman, and a consistent
member of the Baptist church.

The house was hurled sevtra: hundred
feet in the air and completely w reeke i.
