ATLANTA DRUGGISTS FIGHT.
Rate War Leads to Blows Between
Jacobs and Elkin.

Atlanta, May 1-Dr. Joseph ia
cobs and DR.. w. S. Elkins'
Jr., two druggists who have been making
all sorts of charges against each other In
the newspapers, engaged in a lively fight
this afternoon in which brass knucks aud
knives played part. Jacobs was slightly
cut and Elkins was quite severity bruised.
DIR. Ell5in was walking up Marietta
street As he approached the barber shop
next door to Jacobs Pharmacy, DR.. ia
cobs attacked him. DR.. Jacobs brother
grappled with Mr.. Freeman leaving DR..
Jacobs and DR.. Elkin to their fight.
Speaking OF the fight afterwards, DR..
Flkin said: II did not know OF the prox-
unity of DR.. Jacobs until felt myself
struck from behind. l turned and saw
him with pair of brass knucks. We got
together then and | struck him with my
naked fist After several blows each, he
using the knucks. we were separated.
Dr. Elkin was covered with blood. There
was a great cash over his left eye from
which blood flowed over his face and shirt
bosom. Two large cuts in tho back of his
head also ran with blood.
MT. Jacobs. when seen. was seated in
his Office with a leech fastened under his
right eye. His face was covered with
blood and there were several abrasions
on his head He said You know what
it's all about. ! saw DR.. EllSin coming
along the street with three friends. fol-
lowed them alone until he fell behind and
then tackled him. Freeman. one of his
friends. drew knife and l pulled the
brass knucks. We fought for several
minutes before we were separated"
The trouble between the two gentlemen
grows out of business war which they
have been waging through the newspa-
pers and otherwise for several days past.

600 damages against a number of Atlanta
druggists. one of them being DR.. w. S.

SOUTH CAR0LINA'S SURPRISE.
Both Democrats and Republicans
Puzzled at the Latest Appointment.


Charleston, S. c., May 1.-The appoint
ment of Geo. S. McCravey of Laurens, to
succeed Il. Brooks Sigh as Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal OF South Carolina took
effect to-day. The appointment has oc-
casioned no end of excitement, both in
the Republican and Democratic camps.
and there does not seem to be any doubt
in any ones mind that Senator McLaurin
made the new deputy. The selection of
McCravey is taken as another evidence of
the Junior senator's influence with the
administration at Washington, and every
one is asking what big federal office will
next fall to a white Democrat.
In some respects the McCravey appoint
ment is more remarkable than that of
Capers The former has never been any,
thing but a Democrat, while the latter
was an avowed supporter of Mckinley in
two campaigns. Marshal Melton gets
credit for raising McCravey, but no one
supposes for an instant that the idea of
doing so originated with him. He is MAX
ing a hard fight to be re-aDpointed mar
shall and it is possible he win be willing
to do anything in reason suggested by the
powers that be, who ever they are. There
was a rumor here to-day to the effect
that Melton's own head would be the next
to fall, and that LOOMS Blalock, of New
berry, is slated to be his successor.
