From the Vest Point Press.
A party of gentlemen met the other day
and the conversation turned to the pea
held. Several tall stories were told, but
finally Mr.. AIOnzo 'Jones-no kin TO Sam
arose and said: 'My father-in-law gave
orders to plant two pieces of ground in
peas. His instructions were to plant
black peas on the hill and speckled peas
in the bottom. However, a mistake was
made and instructions reversed" "How
did the peas pan outH' asked Luther.
'EWhy, he made lem all, but came near
losing his corn crop. The cornwas literally
covered up, and before he knew il he had
lost as pretty a fodder crop as yon ever
saw, kbut you may bet he got there on
peas-my father-in-law did" aa
Don't doubt it, said T.Y. Barrett.
81 know ali about black peas. planted
them one year, and they ran all over my
corn crop, and not only 80, they lett the
corn field and took to my orchard fifty
yards away, and. never stopped growing
until every peach and apple was literally
covered up, and that year, though the
fruit crop was fine, my family were not
able to get enough peaches to make a
peach pie. oh, yes; know the black
pea. You are right, Jones; they are rum

Curious Manuscript

|. Il. Bloodworth, OF Liberty hin, Gu,
has forwarded TO the Atlanta Constitution
curiosity in the shape of manuscript
poem, written 100 wears ago. by the great
great-grandfather of one of his neighbors,
Mr.. j. G. Colwell. The poem was written
with quill pen, with the best OF black
ink, on fair quality OF paper, and the
writing ia still perfectly legible. The
verses are bitter attack upon the Metho-
dist church, which was then in its infancy,
and 1t is quite probable that the excite
ment caused by John Wesley's work in
Georgia had something to do with the
writer's state OF mind. Even at this late
day it would provoke bad feeling to print
the poem. 1t is enough to say that il de.
nounces the Methodists in the bitterest
9terms, pronOnncing them ''vile," ''base,"
9"hypocritical," etc. AS an evidence of
the bitter prejudice of the pioneer Geor-
gians in the days OF 0glethorpe it is full
OF curious interest.

Probably Victimized by Davis.


Supt. William Hoey, OF the Adams Ex-
press Company, received a letter from
Macon, Ca, n few days ago, In which the
writer complained that the company had
robbed him OF 10000 His story wns that
the money was shipped by the express in
this city in a leather bag TO his address in
Georgia. He said that he saw the bag
left in the express office, and that he was
certain the money was in it at the time,
but that when it reached him there was
only lot of old paper inside. The writer
accused the company's employees Of
stealing the money, and threatened that,
unless the company paid him the amount,
he would expose the robbery.
Supt. Hoey wrote back to the Georgian
that be must have received a circular adj
vertising SCREEN stuff" for sale, and that
the men he had dealt with were commonly
known as sawdust swindlers.
Mr. Hoey hoped that If the Georgian
made his exposure he would publish the

The vaccination Didn't Take.

HQHItcbooTo
Sometime during the early part of the
summer "big meetin' y was in progress
among the darkeys in Cobbham, and as
usual tour OF observation was made by
gentleman of this city. This gentleman
invited friend to accompany him. Now
this friend had taken several doses Of
soporific medicine, and on arriving at the
church felt too tired to proceed further
than the first vacant seat which offered,
while the gentleman walked up to the
eamen benches" The friend soon
yielded to the gentle influences
of Somnus, and was soon re-
ceived into the arms of Morpheus.
The "meetin' " proceeded in its
usual vehement style, while our friend
remained Obvious Of all passing events.
Finally the end came, and the preacher
invited the ''sinners to fly from de wraf
which is COMM" The rush for the altar
was great, and the frightened sinners ran
over our friend until his slumbers were
partly broken, and in his half-aroused
condition he imagined that the show was
over, and followed the crowd to the altar.
The preacher saw him approaching, and,
feeling proud OF his conquest over one
upon whom the white brethren had law
ished much religious elOquence without
effect, met him several steps from the
altar, and, grasping his hand, exclaimed:
brother Tom, Use so glau yer mas come
to de Laud; git right down here on dem
sinful knees, and let de ole Niger pray
fer yer" This fully aroused him. Wild
eyed and fierce he almost shouted, $50
to the devil, I'm going home" The
col9red preacher WAS completely dazed,
and, ascending the pulpit, he said,
"Bred'rin and sisters, dat wRxinatiOn
didn't take deep enough to raise blister;
let us hab de socdolergy and be remissed."
Tom don't go on any more inspecting
tours

A Gel AsimilistaD, que casi no Sc
ha alarmado cuando supo 10 de las
Carolinas, le da ahora por alarmar-
Sc de todo, y suponer la alarma en-
todas parties.
Segnn el, en- la function teatral
del hltimo domingo, corrieron ru-
mores dlarmantss, con motive lie
una manifestation que Sc pensaba
llevar q cabo, dentro del Coliseo,
por 10 de las Carolinas.
Seg1n ell mismo, tales rumores,
que empezaron a circular por la
tarde, "turbaron la tranquilidad' y
retrajeron a varias personas del
teatro.
I'll mismo tambien dice que Sc
repitio la alarma durante la repre-
sentaci6n del jueves, viendose de
repente desaparecer del teatro al
Sr. Gobernador, al Alcalde Y algu-
nos militares, agregando que ha-
bian corrido voces de haberse in
