The Supreme Court OF Georgia and lite Opin-
ion of Cultures. Il

ion OF Cultures.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has rem.
dered a decision which shows that that ju-
dicial body is down ON dealing in futures.
The case in which the decision was rem
dered was an appeal from the Richmond
Superior Court. 1t was that Of the Nation
al Exchange Bank of Augusta against
Robt. Z. Cunningham. Cunningham gave
his note to Warren Wallace & Co., cotton
dealers of Augusta, who transferred it to
the bank. Payment was refused and the
bank brought suit. The plea was that the
note was given as part of future con-
tract. In delivering the opinion Justice
Blandford said " If this is not specula-
ton on chances, wagering and betting be-
tween the parties, then we are unable to
understand the transaction. Betting on
game Of faro, brag or poker may be more
hazardous, dangerous or uncertain. Indeed,
it may be said that these animals are gen.
tie, tame and submissive compared to this
monster. The law has Gagged them and
driven them to their dens. They have been
outlawed, while this ferocious beast has
been allowed to stalk about in midday with
gilded signs and flaming advertisements, to
lure unhappy victims to its embrace of
death and destruction: The busine. of
selling and buying cotton futures has grown
in spite of the persistent opposition from
the pulpit, legislative halls and the bench
to enormous proportions. Now and then
bucket-shops have received a rebuff when
they sought toenforce their contract direct
ly, but they have managed TO avoid this to
considerable extent by negotiable notes
and transferring them to innocent holders,
In whose hands it was supposed they were
good"
The Supreme Court struck a crushing
blow against this entire system of specula-
ton, holding that the whole business wasa
vast gambling scheme; that all contracts
or notes based ON futures were gaming
contracts and absolutely void, and they
were not good even in the hands of an limo.

THE LAND LAW.

Secretary Teller recently gave a
definition of the word Settlement"
as regards Il pre-cmptiOn claim,
which is of interest to a class of Land
Jumpers who think a man has not
taken possession of his claim until
his cabin has been erected. The sec
retary says:
"Residence is not essential to Il
pre-emption settlement. A settler
Is one who does some act on the land
indicative of an intention to claim
the benefits of the law. Although
the erection Of n house and residence
therein may manifest such purpose,
in connection with other acts, yet
there may be a valid settlement
without residence. To fell trees, to
plOw or fence the land or lay The
foundation for a house, or do any
other act whicn clearly manifests n
purpose to convert the land into u
home, will, If followed by residence,
give the party a pre-emptiOn right
which relates back to his former act.
No definite time within which resi-
dence must commence is fixed by
law. 1t must, however, be within
such reasonable time as to manifest

PREPARING WOOL FOR MAR
KET.

Now that the season for another
wool clip is at hand, the Prdric Far
mer calls the attention Of farmers to
the Importance Of presenting their
wool in market in good salable con-
dition, because the price they will
receive depends 50 largely upon this
that it cannot be too strongly urged.
Let it not he forgotten that the
margins for profit in manufacturing
are not what they have been, hence
manufacturers look closer than ever
to the condition and -shrinkage of
woods, and the cost Of wool to them
when thoroughlSFcourcd is the basis
on which they must necessarily
make their estimates. To bring full
current prices, wool, whether washed
or unwashcd, must not only be in
good condition, but each fleece care
fully but lightly tied by itself. Tag
locks should he cut Off when the wool
is sheared, and all pulled, dead,
chaify, bury and poorer wool be kept
separate. Wool tied in fecces will
bring more than II united, for the
reason that, If united, it becomes
more or less broken and mixed in
handling and more difficult to sort.
Other facts should he remembered;
quality is an Important element, as
the poorer bred and weaker staple
woods will waste more in being card
ed, and will not make as good a
quality of goods as the high bred,
strong and healthy woods, and hence
are not worth so much. Therefore,
in a flock where there is considerable
difference in the quality of the
feeces, 1t will pay to separate it into
lots. Washed wool should be thor
Oughly washed, else II may not bring
It's full value; but to avoid this con-
stantly recurring question as TO
whether a given lot of wool, or some
feeces Of it, are properly washed,
some believe it is much better not to
wash 1t at all, as it will sell just as
readily at its full intrinsic value, and
the result will be much more satis-
factory to the seller.

case his right win not Re forfeited"
In regard to cutting timber on
homestead claims, the commissioner
has recently decided as follows:
"Whcn it is clearly evident that
( Romesrcader has settled upon his
claim, intending in good faith to
make permanent home thereon
and To improve and cultivate thc
land entered, he is permitted to cut
such timber as must he removed
from the land in the process of clear
ing it for cultivation. If the amount
Of timber so cut from that particular
portion Of the claim which the home
steader contemplates clearing for
lnmeSsirte cnitiN.i. i'm should 1so.
more than he requires for fencing,
buildings and other improvements
upon his claim, he is permitted to
dispose Of such excess of timber 50
cut. Any other timber upon the
claim cannot be sold until the claim
ant has perfected his title to the land
embraced in his entry. The Ques-
tiOn whether the land is being cleared
for legitimate purposes is a question
Of fact which is liable to be raised at
any time. If the timber is cut for
any other purpose, it will subject the
entry TO cancellation, and the person
who cut ii will be liable to civil suit
for recovery Of the value of the tim
her, and also to criminal prosecution
for violating the law in such cases
provided"
The secretary Of the interior has
decided that an application to amend
a homestead entry is a matter of
right only when necessary to correct
a mistake, clerical or otherwise,
which would result in dcpriving
settler Of his actual home or valuable
improvements, and if allowed in any
case Il should he as a matter Of eX-
cCutiVe discretion, to enable him to
take the full quantity allowed by
law, and to avoid Il conflict with
other asserted CIuimS.
The department has decided that,
where a single woman makes a
homestead entry, and afterwards
marrics, her husband, in the event
Of her death, cannot purchase in his
own name, under the act Of June -,
1850. The question as to whether a
husband in such Il case is IN heir, is
one to be determined by state law
and not by the dCpartmcnt.-EOote-

THE MODERN PRINTER.

The man at The desk. He is an
edftOr WHAT r that m ms nand?
1t Is a microscope. What does the
editor want Of a microscope? lie is
looking for his salary.
See the elevator. 1t is not rum
ming. DO elevators ever run? Oh,
yes, when they are first put in a
building, and before they are paid
for.
This is the man who has had a
notice in the paper. How proud he
Is. He is stepping higher than Il
blind horse. If he had wings he
would fly. Next week the paper
will say the man is Il mcasly old
fraud, and the man will not step so
high.
Here is n valisc. 1t does not weigh
four hundred pounds. II is the valise
Of an editor. In the valisc are three
socks and a bottle and q book. There
is something in the bottle. Maybe
it is arnica for the editors sore finger.
The book is "BaXter's Saints Rest"
The socks got into the vaiize hy
mistake. Perhaps the bottle VIII get
into the editor by mistake.
Behold the printer. lie Is hunting
for pickup Of half Il line. lie has
been hunting for two hours. He
could have set the half line in twenty
seconds, but it il a matter Of princi-
pie with him never to set what he
can pick up. The printer has Il hard
time. He has to set type all night
and play pedro for the beer all d2y.
We would like to be printer were
it not for the night work.
Is this n corner lot? No, it is a.
towel. 1t has been serving an ap-
prcnticeship in a printing Office for
the past four years. The horses are
dragging it away. a man will take
an AK and brcal; the towel into pieces
and boil it for soap grease. Then he
will sell the towel for tripe II you
find 4 piece of tripc with a monogram
in one corner, you may know It is
the towel.
Has the printer tobacco? He has,
but he will not tell you so. He car
rics it in the leg of his boot, and
when he wants 60 chew he sneaks
down in the back alley where nobody
can see him. When he spits tobacco
it sounds like a du,k diving in the
water. The printer is a queer man.
He is a tickle person. Sometimes
he has ten thousand ems on the
string, hut they are always his
dupes. If you are a printer do not
be a blacksmith, or you will get
fired.
Here we have a business manager.
He is blowing about the circulation
Of the paper. He is saying the pa
per has entered upon an era of un-
precedented prosperity. In a minute
he will go up stairs and chide the
editor for leaving the gas burning
while he was out for drink of
water, and he will dock the reporter
four dollars because a subscriber has
licked him and he cannot work.
Little children, If we believed busi-
ness managers went to heaven we
would give up our pew in church.
Here We have a knife. 1t looks
like a saw, but It is knife. It be-
longs to an editor, and is used for
sharpening pencils, killing reaches,
opening champagne bottles, and cut
ting the-hcarts out Of had mon who
