How He Bested an Expert SeneGam-

Eatonton, Ga. Jan. IA gentleman,
while entertaining a crowd few days
ago with stories and "reminiscences, made
the surprising assertion that Judge
Thomas G. Lawson. our pompous ex-con-
gresham. was the best fodder puller in
the county. lie said that few years
ago the judge hired an expert Senegam-
bian fodder-puller to gather the crop near
his home. Upon visiting the field to see
how the negro was progressing, the
judge was provoked to find that the hand
had not gathered as much fodder as he
should have in the time he had been en-
ployed. Thereupon the judge laid off his
Prince Albert coat, and, giving his sleeves
a jerk, challenged the negro to a fodder
pulling match. For some time the unique
contest lasted, and at the end the negro
acknowledged that Judge Lawson easily
