SONG-STORY, MAYBJS
A "hymn of love" hag been com
posed by "Col." T. B. Asbford, a
well-known staunch old Democratic
enthusiast cf the city. The Colonel
has been down with an attack of rheu
matism, and lying In bed he hit upon
the following, which he hopes to have
adopted by the County Executive
committee a nd sung by a quartet
comprised by Assembly Nominee
Henry Brothers, basso; Register of
Deeds Carl Pridgen, tenor; Sheriff A.
W. Taylor, baritone, und Treasurer
John Dawson, high tenor:
"Come humble radical in whose breast
All political tricks doth lie;
Como with your guilt, yowr fears
suppress,
And vote the Democratic ticket
' without a sigh.
Then upon your path will shine
Stars of triumph bye and bye."
A courthouse critic who passed up
on the composition Saturday morning
said thero was something familiar
about the general trend of the thing;
it seemed to him that he heard some
thing of the sort the time he went t
church .several years agu. The words
do not run as smoqthly as they should
in one or two places, and Col. Ash
ford is not certain that his sentence
construction Is correct. All defects
can bo overcome by the quartet, how
ever, he says; they can smooth over
the bad places with variations. The
one stanza is sufficient, he asserts,
because it's in the Republican's na
ture to be suspicious, and it won't do
to sing to him too much at a time.
About 225 bales of cotton had been
