cultivated a small patch, Oh which he
raised a scanty supply upon which to sub

Farmers in Brooks County Catch Up With
Gang of Thieyes.
The Atlanta Journal publishes the fol
lowing special from Quitman For sever
al months the farmers of Brooks county
have been sorely afflicted with what thew
supposed was cholera among their hogs.
Hogs were turned in fields and WREN the
droVes were brought out TO be killed
several would be found missing.
Now it seems it was no. cholera 40
much as negro that was doing the dam
age. Suspecting that perhaps this was
the trouble, some of the farmers. with
Sheriff Conoly. began to search houses.
and in many the meat of large hogs were
found where negroes lad small hogs or
no hogs at all.
The negroes began to confess. 1t seems
that large crowd of darkies in Hickory
Head and GroOver7ille districts have a
club known as the "kenters Club" The
name is queer one, as the main doc
trlne OF their club seems to have been to
get meat out of the white folks fields.
Three arrests have been made and
more will follow, as it seems nearly all
are implicated.
yesterday in swamp Sheriff COnoly
found several baskets of meat hid CON
tanning sides, hams, etc. Undoubtedly
eight hogs were stored there. The ne
groes are panic>stricken, and know not
"hom the Sheriff will arrest next.

AN interesting little story has been
waited from the town of Marietta, the
home of both Senator Clay and Judge
Gober. 1t is to the effect that the
senator and the judge, after a
lifetime of the closest personal and
political friendship, do not speak as
they pass, and glare at each other in
anger whenever they happen to meet.
Indeed, it is said that if it were not
for the dignity of the senatorial toga
which flows about the shoulders of
one and the judicial ermine of the
other they might do more than glare
they might scrap it out. 1t is all due,
it seems, to an idea of the Judge that
he should dispose of business in his
court TO suit himself instead of the
senator, and the filming of the senator's
law partner S25 for contempt of court.

TIE PISTOL HABIT.

Some of THE NEWS CONTEMPORARIES
have begun a campaign against the
pistol Uoters. There must, says one of
them, be no surrender of public opin-
ion as TO the pistol carrying habit. 1t
must be stopped There is no excuse
for it. No good can come of it, and it
is in every way wrong, evil and bad.
Pistol carrying has no place in a civ
ilized and we'll governed community.
Fhe highways and thOroughfares are
supposed to be and are safe from
thugs, thieves and roWdies, and no
fear Of danger from any of these ever
crosses the mind of the man who goes
forth on the streets of the town, yet
how many of them carry pistols. We
say that every just, humane and ele =
waited sentiment demands that the
practice should cease, for sorrow,
death and ruined and saddened homes
are almost its certain fruits. If de-
termined public sentiment, a vigilant
press, officers of the law and TIE courts
of the state act tremendously together
this vicious system can be abolished.
Let US all join forces and expel from
our civilization habit which comes
down TO US from the early days of
frontier life, but is no longer necessary
iii day and time when men do not
feel called on to shed the blood and
maybe take the life of a fellow man in
order to display their courage.
