Haeon Telegraph.
On the plantation of Capt W H.
Stoke-, in Twiggy county, there re-
Mtia *hiu? tenant «bo promise t«»
become the champion eater of Georgia
without any opposition The man's
name is Ebb Floyd, and he i» said to
be a short, stout man of 30 years of
age and of a jolly disposition.
Floyd flr«t attracted the attention of
his neighbor* at a log-rolling which
took place about a month ago. On
that occasion, after fini-hing tbe work
the workmen sat down to a Mipper,
and before them, among other things,
were placed fifteen large potato cus
tards. This dish was a favorite of
Floyd's, and the fact was known to
several of bis friends, who were pres
ent at the supper, fine of them, in a
banter, offered to Ijet with Floyd tnat
be could not eat half the custards at
the same meal, and was very much
surprised when his farmer friend took
him up, and agreed (<> eat ten of them
without stopping.
Piling up toe dishe- in a circle, he
commenced upon the spread. Five
were *oon eaten, and then the fun be
gan with a rush. One after one dis
appeared slowly but surely, until the
magic number of 10 came to band.j
and all present were in an uproar.
Straightening himself oat for the'
fray, the farmer commenced on the j
home-stretch. Ten large-weet-potato
custards In-ide of him and five await
ing the atta< k presented a ludicrous
-ccne. It was agony, but three s-»r.
sped aw ay on their journey to meet
their fellows, and rradually the la-t
of the 15 found itself on the way down
to the depths He had accomplished
the feit. and the prize offered in the
bet was his, and his only.
This was, however, only a starter
for Mr. Floyd, and so, therefore, he
chose Thank-giving day for another
effort, and again Tie came out vic
torious.
This time it wax a < hewing contest.
an«l sugar cane was the object of hi
attention.
After a day of frolic and fun, and
after indulging in a hearty Thanks
giving dinner, with turkey and stuff
ing to his heart's content, he visited a
house where he expected to eat supper
and remain all night.
This time a crowd had gathered to
see the Twiggy wonder, and an abun
dance of good, juicy cane hail been set
in the room ready for the contest.
A* a preliminary fourteen full stalks
were chewed liefore supper, and then
oil hand* sat down to an old-time
Thanksgiving supper, with possum
and yams ami plenty of rich gravy.
Finishing supper."the host anno'unc
eil to his friends that the contest was
ready to be opened, and asked if any
one jiresent wanted to make bets on
the result.
A school-teacher in the crowd sug
gested that a speed trial be made and
offered to wager that Floyd could not
chew threw stalks in ten minutes.
This was accepted, and the school
master set liefore him three large, fine
stalks and called time.
Two of them were disposed of in live
minutes, and the third one saw its fate
in two more minutes, making the far
mer the w inner by three minutes.
This settled the question of speed,
and then some one offered to bet two
to one that Fiovd could not drink a
(iiartof the juice down without stop
ping. He wa- u wiser man in just a
minute later, for catching up n jug,
Floyd drained it of three Jiints of the
sweet stuff.
Everyone was satisfied and he was
the hero of the hour, when a small
hand cane mill was brought into the
room and twenty stalks were crushed,
giving out three gallons of juice.
This wa- a startling announcement,
and it had the effect of making Floyd
a lion among his friends, when they
were taken aghast by the statement
that lie could chew 20 stalks liefore
he retired and not feel the result.
Kveryotie laughed at him. ami all
thought him to l>e jesting when he
laid out 30 of the largest stalk of cane
near his chair and commenced on the
work of grinding out the juice with
his molars.
One by one the stalft-- were taken up
and atrii<|ied, chewed and the piece*
throw n a-ide. and in exactly one hour
and fifteen minutes the little pile wa
exhausted and the man wa- ready to
quit and retire from the tield.
The ru-ws of his feat spread far and
near in his neighborhood. and now he
i* the wonder of this section.
His friend* in Twiggs county put
him against any man in the world for
