PUGNACIOUS jim JONES
NEGRO WAITER FOUGHT A COOK
AND GOT IN JAIL.
Charles Graham Created Consterna'
ton in Kitchen by Defending
Himself With q Boiling
Pot Of Peas.

Yesterday was a black Wednesday In
the life of Jim Jones, a negro waiter.
For him the clouds lowered when he had
a fight in the kitchen of Fitzpatrick
cafe on Court Square about the noon
hour and was led away from the scene OF
his pugnacious performance by sweeney
patroIman. For him the storm broke
when Recorder Arlington In the after
noon assessed fines against him amount
ing to sos.
Jim Jones has been waiter at F'itz-
patrick's cafe. Charles Graham, sec
ond negro, Is merely a cook. Jim Jones
wore a spot1ess white Jacket Charles
Graham did not. 1t came about that
Jim Jones put his head into the aper-
ture between the cafe proper and the
kitchen and said things In a commanding
voice to Charles Graham. The cook re-
torted in uncomplimentary terms, to
which Jim Jones suggested that Charles
was not only puerile but that he was
pusillanimous,
The oral battle waxed until Jim Jones.
firding the aperture too small for the ed
mission of his body, went by way OF
the street to the kitchen real quickly and
reaching there soon put Charles Ora
ham, the cook, on the defensive. The
puissant Jim Jones struck out wildly at
Charles Graham and other cooks and
kitchen boys seeing a battle was immi-
rent, cleared the decks for action.
Charles Graham laid hands on a boiling
pot of beans and, as Jim Jones made a
rush for the body. Graham side-stepped
and let fly the pot Of beans. The polling
beans and liquor struck the bellieose
Jones full In the face, scattered and
scalded other negroes in the culinary de-
partment of the cafe.
1t seemed that everything In the kitch-
en- was to be demolished but big Pat
Sweeney, lone Of the finest of Mont
gomery's police shifted battle in the air.

Gated the incipient riot brewing In the
kitchen which has an exit on Montgom-

Three strides and he was in the kitchen,
Another moment passed and he held
both, Jim Jones and Charles Graham
firmly in his grasp.
"Ah ha," murmared Sweeney, as his
brawny hand touched q pistol in the hir
pocket of Jim Jones. There's dark and
dismal days ahead of this Senegambian. 81
Then Sweeney took the pistol. which
was concealed. from Jones's pocket and
the two negroes accompanied the patrol
man to police headquarters.

FLOURISHING TOWN
UP IN MACON COUNTY
Notasulga Enjoys Splendid School Privileges and
Unsurpassed Mail Facilities.
By D. W. MOWER

Notasuiga, July 2s.-C5taff Correspond
ence)-Notasulga is the second town IN
Macon County and has been a town Of
some Importance for more than half a
century. Well do / remember when old
man Arberry was In his prime and when
his hotel and distillery were the adrni-
ration and wonder Of this whole section
away back In the days before the war.
Very plainly do remember . visit to the
Arberry distillery near the site where the
old hotel now stands-the only signs OF
which are the excavations for watts and
pond OF water which have been dry for
many years and are fast Wondering into
decay. Down at the still house there
was vat after vat of swill or beer OF

and took me home under the buggy seat.

Old man Arberry annassed fortune at
the business and accumulated much prop
erty here, which passed down to his fam
lily, who lived here until a few years ago
when they went away ana there Is not
one of the name left In the little town.
Reverting to the past and the pcpula-
tion Of the town, remember the Arm
strongs-a large and influential family,
Henry Clay and Ralph being of the num-
Der, who were widely known all over
Alabama as prominent politicians and
leading, influential Masons and Sloan and
Dave--all of whom have passed away,
father and mother and Ave sons. Mrs.
Delbridge. the postmistress here. and by
| the way a most excellent lady, being the
only member of the family left. Then
there was old man s. @. Hale. who raised
a large family and was himself once Sher-
| IN in days past of Montgomery County
| and one OF the most active citizens of the
| County. His son, Joseph w. Hale. was
| for many years q leading druggist of
your city, several terms a member OF
| the City Council and one Of the most
| popular citizens of the Capital City.
| Speaking of him reminds me OF an incl

before been related, but which is true.

New Incandescent Bulb.
E. E. Rines, an Indianapolis cleo
trician, has invented an in%candescent
bulb by which the degree Of iHumtna-
ton may be varied. His invention
is especially designed for dwellings.
hotels and hospitals. He has taken an
ordinary sixteen candle power globe
and arranged it so that it may be
turned to use eight, four or two can
die power. This is done by using con-
nections that are different from the
old style. and two filaments-the little
wires that curve round inside the
bulb.
BY turning the globe a little, the
fight may be reduced from sixteen to
eight candle power. A little. farther
reduces it to four, and still farther to
two, Then, II it is desired to have six
teencandle power again, one just turns
it back and the light burns bright. The
advantages of this system in a sick
room will be appreciated by hospital
authorities, Rines thinks. The saving
in power is an advantage to. dwellings,
he says.
