SOCIAL EQUALITY
PREACHED BY A STEWART COUNTY
THIRD PARTYITE

Practice 1t, and the Third Party ApOs-

Causes a Negro in Lumpkin to Attempt to
Practice 1t, and the Third Party ApOs-
tie Stabs Him Dead.
The Americas Recorder tells of the
first tradgedy growing out of the present
political wrangle in this part of the
State.
1t occurred near Lumpkin, in the
neighboring county of Stewart, on Tues
day of last week-the dav before the
election.
1t was fight between white man
and negro, both leaders of the Third
party in that county.
j. B. Frazier, well-known farmer of
Stewart county, is one OF the leaders of
the Third party in that section, and it is
reported has been advocating social
equality with the negroes of Stewart.
Brazier, it is said, has been telling
the negroes that they were just as
good as the whites; that all men were
created equal, and that the only real diff
color of the skin.
At all events he told the negroes
enough to take away their wits, as the
sequel of this story will show.
Early Tuesday morning prominent
colored Republican, who was supporting
the third party cand date in Stewart,
went to Brazier's house, and upon the
strength of what the after had told the
negroes regarding their social rights,
proceeded, it is said, to make himself
very much at home at Brazier's.
Now Brazier, like some other third
party people, will preach social equality
GU the stump, put when tie thing is
brought to their own fresides they re-
bel and when the black rep publican be-
gan to practice what Brazier had preach
ed to him, the white man seized him by
the throat and plunged his knife time
and again into the Negroes heart, killing
him instantly.
Then did Brazier look to his old friends
in the democratic party for help, for as
soon as he realized that he was a muir
derer he sent for life long friend, a
staunch Democra+, to come to his assist
ance.
This terrible tragedy should prove an
object lesson to the colored people,
among whom the third party people
have been teaching their doctrines. They
make promises that they have no idea of
ever complying with, and when the col
ored people ask them for the social re-
cognition promised, they are shot down
| ike dogs.
/ REM mber Z 5 terrible affair, and the
next white or colored man who tells you
| that he negro is the social equal of the
white man tell him of the bloody muir
der of the poor old negro in Stewart
county.

A CANDIDATE S WILD PROMISES.
What Hand Is Telling the Negroes Down
in Baker.


The following article, which The
News extracts from the Calhoun Cou-
rier, is very interesting reading:
George Biyins is qnite a prominent
negro in Bake county, and he YIELDS
considerable influence over the political
tendencies of his race. Recently, it is
said. some importunate overtures have
been made him to induce him to exer6
his influence in the interest of the Third
Dar{y. A few days ago in con-
versation with a friend OF the Courier,
George stated that two or three weeks
ago DR.. Hand and few OF his fl.e1ds
held a meeting, behind closed doors at
Milford, to which he was urgently in
vited George says that they proposed
to him that if the negroes Of Baker
"would help the Tbird party the Third
party would help them" Thinking that
he saw a chance TO elect negro to the
legislature he accepted the proposition
on those terms, agreeing that the negroes
would vote for the T! ird party candidate
for Congress and the state senate, pro-
v'ded the Third party would support the
negro candidate for the House. But
hat was not the kind of help the This
party wanted to swap for col rcd voters
they want al the offices for theulst Ives.
George said hat DR. Hand told him that
the help they proposed extending the
colored people was to enact and enforce
such laws as would place the negroes ON
the jury BENCH allow them to ride in
first-class railway coaches, sleep and eat
at white felix's hotels, t.. George as
he tod him that this was more t an the
negroes expected or desiled, and thar
they would be satisfied to hold Office.
Now, we want to ask the via tie people
of the Second district what they think cf
candidate vino holds outsueh romises
as the above to gain negro votes? Can

Another murder stains the record of
Terrell county.
This time 1T happened in Dawson,
about ten O'clock Saturday night.
Amanda Smith, who cooks for Mr.. w.
E. Riordan and lives on his premises,
shot and killed Brown smith, her hus-
band.
1t seems that for some time past there
had been domestic intelicity in the Brown
household and it eliminated several
weeks since in a separation OF the pair.
Soon after their separation Amanda
hired to MIR. Riordan as a cook. Her
husband constantly annoyed her. visit
ing her whenever he could and threaten
ing to whip her should an opportunity
be presented.
Tuesday night of last week, after Mr..
Riordan and his family had retired,
Smith went to the Ii tie house in the
yard occupied by his, wife, forcibly en-
tered through a window, and severely
beat and choked her.
Saturday night about ten o'clock she
heard a knocking on her door, and dis
covered it was her husband She re-
fused to admit him, and he said
break in. She warned him that
shoot him if he forced the 4,
and he replied that it would b

powerful lunge that broke the
caused the door TO fly open. a ,ust lA-
stantly the report OF a pistol YVES heard
and Smith received a fatal wound.
He ran off in the dark and the woman
went down to Mr.. Riordan's store and
told him what had happened.
Mr.. kiordan, accompar led by others,
went to his home to make an investlga-
ton.
They found Smith dead over in the
patch connected with the Cheves resi-
dence, aboutforty feet from where he
received the Fatal bullet. The ball passed
through his abdomen.
The body of the dead man was moved
to the court house by order Of Judge
Query, and an inquest was held Sunday
morning by Coroner Daniel.
The verdict Of the coToner's jury was
justifable homicide.
