A NEGRO DRUGGIST.
Ho Intended to Open a Drug Store in
Macon.
Some time ago It. C. Williams, a vfcgro
who had been running a drug store known
as the People's Drug Store of Columbus,
came to Macon and announced his. In
tention of opening a drug stro on Cot-,
ton avenue.
While here Williams mot with consid
erable encouragement froia prominent ne
groes, and although one prominent negro
warned them against him, they did all
they could to get him to come and he
told them ho would. It now Booms, how-
over, that Williams wll lhardly come,
and If the charge of foeticldo against him
in Columbus is sustained he will prob
ably go out of the drug business alto
gether for the remainder of hla days.
The following from the Columbus -Kn-
quIrer-Sun will explain Williams' not. ap
pearance to earns o£ his waiting friends
in this city:
"R. C. Williams, a negro who formerly
kept the People's Drug Store In this city,
was arrested into yesterday afternoon by
Lluot. Bailey on a warrant charging him
with foeticldo.
"Tho warrant was sworn out by Emily
White, a colored woman, who was the
mother or tin* vU tlm. It !■ charged tllat
about a month ago Williams performed a
criminal operation upon this /omin'a
daughter, which resulted in tho death of
the tnothoT* and Infant also. IIo left town
about this time and has not been seen
here until yesterday, when tho mother,
learning of his presence,, swore out a
warrant against him. This was placed
In the hands of Lieut. Bailey, who togeth
er with Officers Ilrltt and Roberts suc
ceeded shortly afterward in locating Wil
liams and putting him under arrest
"The case against him serins to *m a
pretty strong one, and It would look ns
If dark things were In store for this evil

LONG SHOTS WON FOUR RACES.
Very Poor Starts and a Small Crowd at
New Orleans.
New Orleans, Dec. 26.—Despite Che un
pleasant condition of the weather today.
1,G00 people attended the races, which
were not up to the standard. The starts
were very poor.
Loftln, Jr., the favorite in the fourth
race, hub left at the post. Long Shots
won four of the events, while Ransom
In the first race saved the favorites from
an Ignominious freeze-out. The track, as
indicated by the time, was very heavy.
IN THE PAVILION.
Only two favorites were successful yes
terday at New Orleans, but the local tal
ent got the money all the same. No mat
ter how difficult the problem looks, they
don't seem to have any trouble figuring
tho winners and place horses and they
are a pretty hard crowd of sports to hat
any way you take them. Still some peo
ple wonder at the popularity of the races.
That shows that their education has been
neglected. Do you "aavee?" Today's

MADE HIM HAPPY.
A School Janitor Remembered by, the
Children.
This Js the season when the mind
of the story writer turns to story writ
ing, and the country is flooded wltil
ti variety ranging from the ridiculous
to the pathetic. Most o£ these come
from the fertile imaginations of the
story writers aforesaid, and are written
to amuse or instruct, "to point a moral
or adorn a toJe." But none of these
can possess more Interest than a true
incident which occurred at Nisbet
Grammar School in this city last Fri
day. The "knight of 'the coal hod," wno
presides In the august capacity of jan
itor in that school, rejoices in the cog
nomen of "Smith." It Is not certain'
that this is his real name, but at any
rate this is the name by which the
children all know him. "Smith’* is
lov-ed by every child Jn the school, for
tho simple reason that Smith loves
every one of them, and feels a. sort of
personal responsibility for th^mv. Smith
is one of .the good, old-time negroes
that are gradually passing away, and
the very fact that they are grow lug
scaro.*r makes Smith and his kina
command to a greater degree the re
spect if not the affection of his white
neighbors. Be this as it may, and what
ever the cause, the children in Nisbet
school have a decided fondness for
Smith, and the forty or forty-live ’little
oohm ’in Miss Hclmes r class determ. "
to show theirs In a substantial way
Christmas. So a hint was conveyed to
Smith that lie Ihlad better hang up has
stocking on Friday, the day on which
•the school would close for the holidays.
He accepted the suggestion, and m
lieu of the traditional stocking they
found a. flour sick ready to weeive
tUeir^ofr^riaigs. Not a single little one
forgot 'that it was Smith’s Christmas,
and toe flour sack was literally .full to
overflowing. Whilt, with apples, or
anges, candy and divers articles of
clothing, Smith's Christmas was not to
bo despised. Nor was there a lack of
money itself. There wer> coppers, nick
els ari3 dimes and a-t least one gold
dollar that found their way into the
stocking. No one could have been more
grateful' than Smith, and his thunks
were tendered in tho most profuse but
humble manner. Tears trickled down
the old furrowed black cheeks as he
turned away with his treasure, and he
will doubt! cm remember through his
few remalmng years us among the
brightest of his life too Christmas of
1894.

TWO CHINESE STUDENTS.
Mercer University to (Matriculate Two
Chinamen from Massachusetts.
Among the new students who will
enter Mercer University in January
will be two Cinnamon, both of them
from Massachusetts. These ttwo men
have b^en 0 tteaidTng^ sohooS “hX one of
the 13g Northern uiilveraities, but find
ing the climate too severe, they de-
cid?d to come South to complete their
education. They settled on Mercer Uni
versity after corresponding with a
number of schools, and Last summer no
tified the authorities of this school that
they would enter at the beginning of
the second term, which commences on
New Y<vir's day.
One of ihese young men, Mr. Char
lie M. Jett, is studying for th? min
istry, and will enter the divinity
school of Mercer as well ns th? litera
ry school. He has been licensed to
preach by toe Baptist church. The oth
er man, MiC Wing Bing, has not yet
decided what profession he will adopt.
It Is understood that both Mr. Jett
and Mr. Bing are entirely able to
pay toeir way through school. Both
cam* to this country as students and
entered school In Massachusetts. At
that time Mr. Jett had no Idea 1>t be
coming a preacher; Jn fact, had not
embraced, th? Christian religion. After
hLs conversion to that faith he united
with the Baptist cuhrch, and subse
quently, upon his own request, was
licensed to preach that church.
Very few of the universities and col
lege® of the South have as yet had stu
dents from toe Flowery Kingdom, but
almoet every great university of the
North h»« had each year several uh«-
ueee students.

FISHES TRAINED TO FIGHT.
A Peculiar Sport Said to Be Popular
Among the Siamese.
Tho two fish are placed in tho same bot
tle, says a writer in tho London Field.
They proceed totakeeaoh other’s meat*ure,
shoulder up to each other in schoolboy
fashion and back and push around tho
"ring, the small fins vibrating rapidly all
tho time," and eaoh little being quivering
with excitement .xnd wrath. This goes
on for some minutes until, as the specta
tors are growing impatient, ono fish sud
denly flips his head around, makes a dart,
and a considerable dent in his adversary’s
tail shows at onco that ho has got homo.
Honceforth there is no hesitation until
ono or the other cries "peccavi.” In reg
ular fish fights on which money depends
the battle is continued until one fish turns
tail and is chased around tho bottle by
the other. But this is usually an affair
of an hour and frequently throe or four.
The pluck and determination of the
fighters aro wonderful. Tho ordinary
stream fish do not evince it nearly so much
as those that have been bred for tho pur
pose. Tho tall is the part which 6howa
tho most damage, for it is very easily
torn, but a good grip on a side fin Is most
effective. When one pins tho other by the
nose, an exciting struggle takes place, tha
two lying fastened togethor liko profes
sional wrestlers and then shaking each
other backward and forward with might
and main.
They often seem extremely exhausted,
but still fight on bravely, and sometimes
It is a matter of difficulty to part them.
They display considerable agility in evad
ing their opponent’s mouth and also in
suddenly twisting around and taking a
piece out of its tail.
In 20 minutes or so these appendages,
which looked so brave and bright as they
went into tho fray, aro torn to ribbons.
Tho fish's general nppearanco after the
fight suggests that of a sailing ship emerg
ing from n hot action with her canvas
hanging in streamers, her topmasts shot
away, her crew gasping for breath, but
still ready to fight again. Tho fish some
times succumb to n long contest, but gen
erally they only take superficial damage
and are immediately ready to feed. After
a match they are always rested a week or
moro, according to the extent of their in
juries, and most of the rents and outs are
repaired by nature.
Enthusiastic owners often «vager £0 or
£7 or moro on their favorites, and many
people earn a little money by breeding
fighting fish and then backing them
against others.
MARVELOUS EXPANSION.
Woman After Woman Left tbe Car, bat
the Space Was Always Occupied.
When I entered a Madison avenue car
recently, I found the scats entirely occu
pied and had to contont myself with tho
support of a strap and tha hopo that ono
of tho other 22 passengers would soon
alight. As I stood head and shoulders
above the otliora and took a census of the
passengers I found that thero were tea
women on ono sldo and ten women and
two men on tho other sido.
One of tho men I recognized, for wo
had been friends of long standing. I
knew that his home was near and patlont-
ly waited for his departure. When Eight
ieth street was reached, he rose from
his soat, nnd—1 didn’t sit down, for tho
ladies shook out their sleeves, separated a
little, and 11 porsons filled the space that
had been occupied by IS.
I changed ray clinging hand from tho
right to the left and settled into the con
viction that I must stand until I reached
my destination afc Ono Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street Then my sunken
hopes wero revived by tho lady next. to
the man signaling tho conductor to stop.
Sho left the car, but no room for me, f ^r
tbe nine ladies again stirred, shook an
other reef from their sleeves, and tho seat)
was entirely filled. I clung to the strap
with both hands.
When wo reached One Hundred end
Twentieth street, the ono other man roro
to go, and without looking behind X fol
lowed him, to walk the remainder of the
distance, for I did not want to be a wit
ness to the result of the effort of the nine
women to further expand.—New York
