Bbme time this morning, between the usual hours, the nsgro, Fletcher Willis, convicted of killing Mr. James If. Hall, a merchant of Houston county, near Perry, last November, will be hanged by tha neck until ha is dead. Willis was carried to Perry at an early hour this morning from the Macon Jail by Sheriff Cooper, of Houston. bean in Bibb county Jail ha has not asked for a preacher. Jailor Hub bard lias asked him to have one. but he said he did not want one. and no nrsscher haa called to be with him. nor lave any even asked about him. Willis has been confined with the other r rlsoners. When he was first placed In ha Jail he wanted to talk, and aent word to a reporter that he had aomethlng he wanted to say to him, and that he on that day ha stubbornly refused to R y anything except that ha knew noth- g of the murder for which he was charged, and that tha woman who testi fied against him at the trial was the one who should be punished. TMs conduct on his part Is readily accounted for, and shows ont of the pe culiarities of his race. When ho was first pat In the rell he was a hero In tha eyes of his fellow prisoners, because he was a murderer and condemned to die. and his victim had boon a white man. Because of this he wna looked up to and made much of. Having tasted of the notoriety of being a hero, and fear- Ihg If he confsteed he would topple off tho neilestal on which his fellow prison- t*rn had placed him, hs preferred to die with the lie on his lips then to show The white feather. And this la believed to be the reason he refused to Ulk on tho subject. Into tho store to sell him some merchan illse. As Mr. Halt reached up to light the lamp In the store the negro shot him In the back part* of ths head tear ing away the back part of the skull and killing tus merchant Instantly. The ne gro then robbed the store of-4ghat ho wanted and carried the things to the house of a negro woman who stated the ‘ is related to the court. _ j was ons thing that could never be learned. Ho had been seen with a gun on the afternoon tho crime was committed, but the woman says that he went to her house without It. and lie would never tall what he did with It He would only deny that he had a gun at nil. and yet this was proven at the trial by both white nml nsgro witnesses. Jailor Hubbard ears that In all his experience, he has never seen a more dogged or obstinate man under the shadow of the gallows. As there was no motion for a new trial, and there has been no effort to secure any stay of E >cedure. It Is quits certain he will bo nged today.

Tom Watson's House and Household Effects 8urned on Saturday Night. Thought to Have Been First Robbed and Then Ourned. Florida Railroad on Boulevard avenue, at the end of tbe street car line In South Macon, was entirely, consumed by fire late Saturday night, together with all its contents. Mr. Homer Jenkins, who Uvea a short distance away, saw a glare through bis window and got out of bed to see what It was. He oaw that tbe Witnn house was on fire, but that the blaze was a very small one. He ran to the house and Inotlced that the front door was partly open, and he regarded this-as stiongo for tno reason that It wax well known Iq the vicinity that tho family was not ut home, v,n having been coiled ott of o the sick bedside of his father. — _-Jelling being new. and there be ing no way to extinguish the fire. It toll an easy prey to the flames nnd w.vi en tirely consumed, the rapid spr.-id of the flames and the-heat preventing any,,at tempt to get anything out of the liouso. When Mr. Watson went sway he loft his brother-In-luyr. a young man named Watts, who In a caller for one of the rail- roods. to look after the house for him. but Mr. Watts* duties kept him away | from the house In the night, nnd. .the 1 contents were burned up be- pew anything of it. ■■Kgkbors for a considerable dis tance around went to the fire, but n ore powerless to do anything to save the house or household effects. From the fact of finding the front door partly open when It should have been todtod. gave rts© to the theory that th6 house had been robbed and then fired. What lent color to this Idea wad that In the afternoon, Mrs. Sweeney, a lady who lives nearby, noticed that one or the windows of the house was open. . and iknowlng that there was none of the family in the houso thought U rather strange. She had the window closed but saw nothing else to excite suspicion. — Mr. Jud 8. 1I1U, formerly clcilc the {warder's court, and ©no of the best known young men of Macon. Is In tho cUy for a few* days, having come up from Jacksonville to bo preoent at Lba mar riage of his nlee© Wednesday morning. Mr. Hill, who Is In bualueos tn Jack- a villa, is looking in tho bast of health, says that while Jacksonville is a r city, thriving, prosperous and truly teirepoUtan city tn even* way, thor© © pUvo on the top of tho earth Ilk© There la* quits a colony of Macon peo ple tn Jacksonville, and all are doing well, but they most occasionally, read Ths TNslogtaph nnd then sigh tor tho old place. They keep up with every move ment, raioke at ovarythtag that Idaho x.**>d. and are always glad to welcome a Macon man whenever hs drops down that *\fhu© Mr. H1U will b© In Macon only tor two or three days, he will endeavor t4 Me as many of his thousands of Mends os possible. There were many to say yester day: “I'm Kind Christmas Is over.** But there were numberless rea sons for snyftig this. One gentleman, one who has oat- grown the desire to bo a boy again, and who has a horror of unseemly noise, auch as la produced by paper and powder, 6ald that he might aland one day of it, but two days would run him crazy aud three days would kill him. Another, who is of an economical turn, said that ho was glad because of till' awful expense of tt. He said that he was mighty near broke when when it started, and now ho Is broke suro enough. Another, who Is almost too good for this world, said that ho was glad because he hated to see such a desecration of the day meant to be observed ns though It was Sunday. And tliero were many to glvtf rea- sons for being glad that it was over, and then a well know*n physician came up and asked how he felt af ter Christmas, ho said that he he felt any better he would surely bust right wide open. He had just come from a breakfast of turkey hash, which he declared to be tho best part of the turkey, dldu’t care W’hat anybody said, and ho was glad Christmas was over for as other reason than that he could get some turkey hash. Tho crowd then gave It up. and were willing to agree that the only real good reason for being glad that Christmas Is over Is that one gets the turkey hash. EVACUATION OF CUBA TROOPS WILL EMBARK ON TRANS PORTS SUMNER AND MC CLELLAN. HAVANA, Dec. 27.—New Year’s day will witness the bCfflnnlnx of the evacua tion of Cuba by tbe army of pacification which has been In possession of the island since th* beginning of the pro visional government. October 1906. The first provisional regiment of irerlnes, numbering about nine hundred, will be among the first troops to leave. About half this reglmetvt will aall from Havana on January 1 on th© cruiser Prairie, which will return about the middle of the month and embark the remainder. Headquarters company. A, B, C, D, Twenty-eighth Infantry. wUl -embark on the United State* transport Sumner at Matanzas. on December 21. From there the transport will proceed to Havana and emtark companies F, G and If, stationed at Guanajsy. and company E, stationed at Guinea. From that time on the transports Burn er and McClellan will be employed in tbe embarkation at intervals of the re mainder of the * artillery.

Eleventh cavalry, the mountain artillery and Fifth Infantry; the Eleventh infantry, and the Seven teenth* infantry will leave Havana about “ebinary 27 for Newport News. Tt la the Intention to have all of these appear in the Inaugural parade at Wash- lngfon. - * . This leaves only two companies of en gineers and two battalions of the Seven teenth infantry. These troops will em bark-April 1, -which will complete the < vacuatl»n. Th*> embarkation of the troops will be effected with ns little ceremony as pos sible. - The purposo In deferring the de parture of a portion of the Seventeenth Infantry until April 1 has been the sub ject of considerable speculation, but It Is believed that this was agreed upon at a conference between Governor Ma- goon and- ^President-elect. Gomez. It Probably is for th^ purpose of kc.-plr.p: tho barracks and quarters In good order until It is possible to -turn -over to the Cuban authorities a model camp. Cubans, with the exception of a few wha profess -to foar that dlsordor will follow the evacuation of the Island, are greatly pleased at the departure of the American forces as marking tho com plete establishment of Independence. All show* the kindest feelings towards tho troops. the house and effects, but some of the neighbors were of the opinion that he did not have any. The house was recently built by Mr. Walter Horne, the contrac tor, and was valued at about fifteen hun dred dollars. It had been occupied by the family ubout a month. BUSINESS IS DULL W1THJESTURANTS THERE 18 8ELDOM LITTLE DOING IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHRIST MAS—MR. LEWIS SCHEIBE TELLS WHY. "It !« a fact noted—and dreaded— by restaurant men that the days Im mediately following Christmas, the period between the 25th and the IsL always mean the poorest business of the whole year,’’ said Mr. Lewis Schelbe yesterday. "This can bo accounted for In sev eral ways. In the first place, a large majority of the people who eat at the restaurants live away from home, and at Christmas time they return home week or so. Their trade la therefore lost for about a ^ eek. There are others who always receive a ’box' from tho homefolks at Christ mas time and It suffices for xeveral days, until every crumb of cako Is eaten and therfe In not a vestige of meat left on the wish-bone. Also, people eat so much on Christmas day at special dinners and suppers, that they do not want much during the ensuing week. "There are some people, however, who eat lens on Christmas day than at any other time,” continued Mr. Schelbe. Naming a man. ho said: "That fellow has no home, lives at a rooming house, and eats here. When Christmas comes he feel* lonely and haa no heart for a big dinner. Con sequently ho eats but little that day, but the day following, when his spir its revive, he literally fills up. 'Tt Is a funny thing Just how some people eat. There Is one man who almost lives on waffles. He has waffiaa for every meal, three time? a day, and for dinner l\e lets n couple P roved farms and city proper- For All There’s an EATON, CRANE & PIKE writing paper suitable.

Which goes to show that restaurant keepers are more observant than some people think. While Christmas lias come and gone, the eatables characteristic of the hol iday are stUl to be found In large quantities at all local restaurant*. One may procure turkey In every style, even to turkey hash, and the supply of cranberry* sauce Is far from being exhausted. There are many kind* of birds nnd game.
