A LIVELY SCRAP ON JACKSON
Policeman and Citizen Have Trouble
There.

When Officer Barrow attempted to
arrest Nick Lamar at the Windsor Ho-
tel corner yesterday afternoon the lat
ter put up vigorous resistance, and in
the scuffie that followed Officer Bar
row fell to the pavement with Lamar
on top of him. AS the two men thus
struggled on the pavement for some
time, the onlookers not interfering,
two gentlemen from DeSoto passing by
pulled Mr.. Lamar off and assisted Mr.
Barrow to his feet, the officer then
taking the young man to the police
barracks. Inside the building the
scrap was about to be renewed, Mr..
Barrow stating that Lamar was ad-
vancing on him again when he struck
him with his club. The blow was not q
severe one, and after remaining in the
barracks several hours Mr.. Lamar was
released until the case is heard in po-
lice court. The scrap on the hotel
corner caused considerable excitement
for the time.

CATCHING MULLEr ON FORREST
Citizen Plays a Practical Joke on
City,

On Forrest street, near the Oliver
warehouse, there is mudhole in the
sidewalk which the street force seems
to have overlooked for some time.
When it rains the hole fills with water
and thereby hangs a tale-a fish tale.
Yesterday morning passers-by were
surprised to see pole and line anchor
ed at the side of the puddle, while a
large, plump and loud-smelling mullet
had been properly hooked at the bust
ness end of the line, Doubtless the
city officials saw the point and will
make it impossible to fish there in
future.

BOYCOTT ON GEORGIA LuMsER
Builders in North Refuse Short Leaf
Pine

SawmilI men about Americus are in
terested Ia the boycott of Georgia
short leaf pine in the North and the
Conse quent slump in prices. This, it
is said, has been due to combination
of building inspectors principally,
who, for some reason the lumber men
are unable to fathom, have declared
against the use of short leaf pine lum-
Der. The result has been fall of 50
to $5 thousand in price. It is ex-
pected the shutting down of some of
the mills will, by reducing the output,
restore the price.
