EVERETT’S CAPERS. A BKLIKVKW, IN NBORO SOCIAI, RQOAUTY. A Poor White Nan and a Negro Pat on the Name Footing and Beat' ed at the Hamr Table In Ev erett’f Hma*. Social equality. That is the Baron’s ticket. In all of his speeches, except the one delivered at Dallas, R. W. Everett has denounced the report that he sat negroes and while men •down to the same table at his own residence as lies Not only that but he has not told the same story in every speech. In some places he said he sowed no wheat or oats and in others that he and his son did all the work in that year, and again that it was the thresher men who had agreed to thrash his wh<at and board theer own hands The man who makes the affida vit is a Primitive Baptist in good standing. As said above he did not deny the report in Dallas where Mitch ell lives and where he was ready to face him, out said that Mitchell •was a bad man for telling it. The following affidavit jffells the story; Georgia, Paulding County:— Personally appeared before the un dersigned, James W. Mitchell, who being duly sworn, deposeth and says that about the year 1868 or 1869 he hired to R. VV. Everett, of Polk county, Ga., (rhe present can didate for Congress from the Sev enth Congressional di?trict) to cut wheat. That he, together with other hands, began work in the; morning and worked until noon of the same day; when dinner was announced affiant with two other white men, to-wit: Bud Puckett and John Hitchcock took their po sitions at, the dinner table and be gan eating, presently three negroes, who were also at work ior the said Everett, came in and took their positions at the same table and began eating with affiant and his said two white companions, where on affiant quit eating, arose from the table, took his hat, demanded a settlement and left the premises. Affiant says that said Everett did not eat at the >,.me table with him and the other hirelings, having, as affiant suppdkes, eaten before the laborers arrived at >he house. James VV. Mitchell.
