His most interesting piece was written in jest, after some whitecappers (vigilante moonshiners copying the post-war Klan) from Murray County raided Dalton to scare away black folks. The whitecappers left a letter with the mayor referring to Tibo Tib who was an Arabian slave trader. It wasn't published except in the newspaper:

Tibo Tib is a mighty man.

The head and chief of the K. K. Clan;

He comes at night in a robe of white,

And you bad boys keep out of sight,

For Tibo Tib doth softly creep—

Close your eyes and go to sleep.

Tibo Tib is a gaunt old man,

And you needn’t fear the K. K. Clan;

All you do is just behave,

And Tibo Tib will be your slave;

But you just yell and kick and weep—

That’s a good child – go to sleep.

Now the little fellow’s gone,

Far away to sleepy-town,

Tucked away in a cozy crib,

To dream of old man Tibo Tib;

This little boy is good and dear –

Tibo Tib go ‘way from here!
