REDIsTRlCTING THE COUNTY.

A petition has been recently fled
with the clerk of the county court
requesting the honorable court 10
lay off our county into proper
school districts. We hope that if
the court has not given it due con-
sideration this week that they will
thoroughly investigate the advan-
tage to be gained by such step,
and have it done this year. It will
be of great advantage to our public
schools generally if the counties
were laid off into school districts,
and in SO doing have proper regard
for those good schools already es-
tablished. Let such places as Elk

Bethel be the centre of a school dis

directors elected to attend to each

there would be great saving OF

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April THE
sculling races to-day between Teemer, Ham
aud Mckay were well contested, and had
the fine weather lasted they would have
been very successful. The course was three
miles over a straight line, commencing
above the city and ending opposite the
Yacht Club house Hundreds of people
lined the wharves at the advertised
time, and steamers on the river
were crowded with sightseerS. At
4:40 o'clock the three oarsmen left
the first stake, Ham getting the best start,
closely followed by Teemer and then Nc
Kay. The water was somewhat rough, as
a thunder storm had set in, and the boats of
Ham and Mckay came near fouling.
Teemer soon drew ahead. Hams boat
shipped water and Mckay soon passed him
At the mile and a half stake Teemer was
leading by five lengths and Ham and Mckay
were about even. Teemer was then rowing
a thirty-two stroke, Mckay a twenty eight
and Ham a thirty. They kept up these
relative positions till the finish, at o'clock
The rain fell in torrents and the wind blew
heavily, creating heavy swell. Ham was
in danger at one time of swamping and
only skillful work saved him. The time

A BULLET PUT INTO A NEGRO.
The Brother of Macon's Mayor Pulled
the Trigger.

MACON, GA, April 7.-Some interest
was created to-day by the report which
reached this city early this morning to the
effect that Alphonse Price, well known
young man, had shot and killed negro
man named William Wilder last night on
the Columbus road short distance from
Here. The ball took effect in the abdomen
and was taken out of the back, having
penetrated his body. The particulars are
hard to get at, but the statement generally
accepted is TO this effect: Price and Alex
Cherry had arranged to leave early this
morning and go into the country TO buy
cows Last night Mr.. Price and the negro
met on the road.
CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING.
They then walked together for some dis
lance down the road, when they stopped
and began talking. Suddenly Price says
he felt the hand of the negro in his pockets,
and he thought the negro of course was
trying to rob him, and he demanded of him
his intentions. The negro made a very
insulting reply, whereupon Price drew his
pistol and shot him. The negro fell to the
ground, and Price walked off and reported
the affair. News was brought into Macon
to his brother, and Mayor Price went to
the scene of the shooting to investigate the
affair, but as no one saw the shooting
FACTS HARD TO GET.
much could not be learned in regard to it.
1t is reported about the city that Price is
hiding to avoid arrest Maj Price says
this is untrue. He states that his brother,
Alphonse, and Alexander Cherry have
gone, according to their original intention.
to purchase COWS, and that he will return in
due season. The jury rendered a verdict to
the effect that the deceased came to his
death from pistol fired by an unknown
person. No evidence was submitted that
Price did the shooting.
