A KU-KLUx.-He Juage anil a
Scared Niger. We heard pretty
good joke yesterday on one Of deorgia's
Superior Court Judges, which We do
not believe has ever been in print
The Judge in question is not as hand
some as an Adonis; indeed, he is re-
garded as rather homely. In fact, by
competent judges he has been put down
as the ugliest man in the State. These
facts induce us to withhold his name.
But to the joke, which we tell as it was
told to us:
1t seems that man was indicted
and put upon trial before the Judge
upon the charge of playing Kuklux.
One of the principal witnesses was a
negro man. In the course of the ex-
animation question was asked which
this witness declined TO answer. The
Judge was appealed to to compel an an
swer. The day was pretty cold one,
and the Judge wa, well muliled up in
his shawl, and had escaped the eye Of
the Cushite In leaning forward to or
der the witness to answer the question,
the negro caught sight of him, and no
sooner had he done so than he exclaim-
ed, "by golly, dere's KuKlux now"
and at one bound he cleared the bar,
and in moment more was out of the
Court>house and running as if all the
Ku-Klux Klan were at his heels. The
negro is still of the opinion that men,
Der of the Klan was on the bench that
day.-Atldnta Sun.

VALUE OF GEESE IN CoTToN
FIELDS. 81 A. H." of S. c. writes:
To the farmer, geese are the most val
uabe of all domesticated fowls. Ten
goslings are fully equal to the best hoe
hand in the cotton "patch." They
will keep ten acres of ground perfectly
clean ofgrass, ifthe plowing is properly
done. The most careful hoe-band
will hruise and skin cotton more or less,
but geese will carefully pick all the
grass from the young cotton without
injuring ii in the least. am surprised
that farmers do not make more and
better use of them. They pay for
their keep many times over in killing
grass upon which they fatten; are salea-
bic in market and luxury upon his
table. A farmer in my neighborhood,
who knows their value, was offering
last spring, four dollars a pair. Since
the war, | have raised all the geese |
could, conveniently, and principally,
for the purpose of ,corking cott0n. And
more than once, when it would have
been impossible for me to have saved
my crop with the labor at my control,
they saved it. / find the large white
Bremin not only the most beautiful of
the varieties, bat the best "workers," !"
and easily raised. / would advise
every farmer to have his flock of geese,
and pure Bremin, if he can procure
them. They will work his cotton well
without watching, and will save him a
deal of tedious work or money. 1t is
a beautiful sight to see thirty or forty
Bremin geese in Il field ofcotton carry,
ing their rows almost as regular as hoe
hands. Any farmer who plants twenty
or thirty acres of cotton, will never be
without geese after once testing their
value.

INDIsCRDuNATEP PUTTING. .--Ifthere
is one nuisance more than another in
journalism which needs to be squelchod
it is that Of indiscriminate putting.
For instance we often read in sub
stance as follows;
"Major General Dead Beat from
sEaw Bottom was in the city yesterday.
,Ila General, we are pleased to say, is
liking well and hearty. He is per
icc' 'ype of a gentleman, a man of in
,'olnl'aoie energy, and will raise upon
his farm this year SOC, ,OOo bushel, of
apples"
Now, the above is news to the neiob.
bors Of the General, who have cenor.
ally looked upon him as a genuine
member of the family whose nam, he
bears. 1t is time that this thing wag
stopped. 1t serves to lower the tone
OF the press, and to make The public
incredulous. 1t serves to mislead the
public. 1t makes the "pufied man"
believe that he is a gentleman, and
thus force himself into the company of
gentlemen When he should be in the
penitentiary. Merchants are often
swindlcd in consequence of such puff,
and may be the whole difficulty is caus,
ed on account Of the palate of rrpor-
ter having been tickled with "cock-
taip furnished by the distinguished
Dead Beat. We are only country
bumkins to be sure, but our readers
may rest assured that when the Demo.
crat puns any one it is prepared to
endorse him fully Ciayton County
