The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-10-27

VIII our friends and readers excnse
rs for just this once. and ALLOW Us 10
descend from q plane Of decency
and responsibility. for few minutes,
for the purpose OF getting down in
the scums of noshingness, with
"Bear swamp" b. coadescend-
ing TO notice the writings OF
that swamp Bear" who had the
audacity, withssus having sense
enough to know who he was lying
on, TO come out again. and further
disgrace the Sampson Democrat by
publishing his low. mean and inhu-
man thoughts, 50 full OF bastard in
situations against the Local Editor
OF this paper, If We are excusable,
We will proceed 10 explain 10 our
readers the circumstances which has
brought TO light this volume of lies
and cowardly insinuations OF Bear
Swamp.
One day friend called at THE
CAUCASIAN Office, showed Us a short
piece he had written in answer to
| Bear Swamp's" account of the
Warsaw speaking. and asked that il
be published. We glanced at The
article, saw that We could endorse
the statements he made about the
speaking, and then told him that il
would appear in the next issue. AS
it was not our own production, we
marked it contributed" We are
indeed sorry to see man who claims
TO have read the works of Darwin,
and yet hasn't got sense enough TO
know the meaning of that simple
word. To take up his article and
answer it line by line, would be dis
playing less sense than We are gen
orally credited with, and besides we
would be stihed to death by trying
to stay in the impure and unwhole-
some atmosphere breathed by him
long enough to answer in detail.
| Though it be ever so unpleasant
we will notice few things mention
ed by "Bear Swamp" He is liberal
enough to think there were present
at the speaking other liars besides
himself. Well, We suppose this is
natural, as we are told that thieves
think everybody else will steal. The
| flag he referred to as being behind
DR.. Thompson was removed before
the speaking began. DR.. Thompson
might have been responsible for she
boy Gf he was a boy we would like
to see the men where he came FROM
being pushed off the fence, for tina,
man might not have been at Warsaw
if he hadn't thought DR.. Thompson
or some one else would speak. Blu
as for him saying that he was advised
by DR.. Thompson % push him OF
the fence, is emphatioally denied BY
the man, and we have his word fo
it. We don't want any names tina
might be suggested by Bear Swamp
for fear they might have been, a
some time so unfortunate as to b.
! associated with him, and thereby b.
condemned as was "Tray" when h
was found in bad company. AS TO
the good dinner he referred to, vii
say that we didn't eat any dinner a
all on the day that We suppose h
has reference to, while We were il
the lovely little town that he S
. efectually disgraces every day wit
+ his presence.
, IT'S true that We have eaten sew
eral good dinners in his town free @
charge. Not because We didn't offe
| to pay for it, but because our friend
positively refused to accept pay
: Now bear Swamp" we want you t
understand that when we do ca
, dinner in your town we go to tn
home of a christian gentleman, an
: not to rhe den of a "Swamp Bear.
! We will now leave this hideous roc
. eating animal to grope in darkness
. and death, while We go and agai
. JOIN our friends who have so patient
| ly waited for us while We have visite
this loathesome animal.
} P. S. Our friends said they woul
t excuse US if we wouldn't condescen
r to notice him any more.
