Forty years ago, when the making of
Chewing Tobacco was confined to the
country districts Of Virginia, old man
Spencer, Of Henry county, found a market
for his product by wagOning it through
Georgia and the Carolinas. At that time
the consumption of tobacco in those States
did not equal the annual sales of any of
the prominent tObacconists now located
in our city. Mr.. Spencer's admiration
for the great statesman induced him to
call his favOrlte brand "CalhOun," and
since the development OF the photographic
art, perfect likeness Of Calhoun Orna-
ments every box. Large crops are closely
selected to obtain even a few leaves wor-
thy of this brand. This fact, in cOnnec-
ton with its high cost ($1 80 per pound },
has prevented this tobacco from being
generally used. The select few who
know the charm of Calhoun can be sup
piled by Levi j. Gazan, under Pulaski
house, ado.

In the Superior Court yesterday an
order was granted to perfect sentence on
the defendants, returnable next term, in
the case of j. Z. Lloyd & Co. vs.. Roach
Bros. d Co.
Arguments were heard, and the decision
of the court was reserved in the following
cases:
A.. y. Wilson, plaintiff in certiorari, VS..
William Duncan, defendant in certiorari;
City and Suburban Railway Company,
plaintiff in certlorari, VS.. the Mayor
and Aldermen of the city Of
Savannah, defendants in certiOrari.
The railway company asked relief from
the fine imposed by the Mayor because
the company refused to water its tracks.
The company claimed that 1t has the
right to tue use OF the streets without in
reference from the Mayor and Aldermen.
1t was claimed by the plaintiffs in GER
tiOrari that the ordinance of 1888 Is IL
legal. Wagons and other vehicles use
the streets and raise more dust than the
street cars, but wagons are not required
TO carry sprinklers, and the company
maintains that IL should not be compelled
TO water the streets along which the
tracks are laid.
Denmark 4 Adams represented the rail-
way company and Henry c. Cunningham,
Esq, appeared for the city.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg and her ex-
cellent Concert Company gave an artistic
and very pleasant entertainment at the
theatre last night. The theatre would
have held larger audience. Those that
were present greeted the artistes with en-
eOuraging and appreciatiye applause.
At first some little apathy was produced
by the announcement that Mr.. Moves, the
baritone, would not sing. The reason
was because that gentleman received a
telegram few moments before the cur
tain went up announcing the death of his
father. In consequence the programme
had To be rearranged, the qusrtets were
cut out, and other numbers were given
instead.
Mr.. Adolph Close gave the first mum

Motions for New Trials for the Liquor
Men-DeciaiOn Reserved.
p. w. Meldrim, Esq, counsel for John
d. MOnsees and A. Seyden, argued a mo.
ton before Judge Adams yesterday for
new trials. Monsees, Seyden and F.
Klug were all convicted of keeping their
tipping houses open on Sunday. The
principal point made by counsel in the
MOnsees case was that the court laid
down a wrORg rule OF law in charging
that "if it be tipping house il must be
kept closed during the entire time, and il
it be open for a single moment for any
purpose the law is violated" Counsel
argued that the charge excluded from the
jury the right Of determining whether I'M
der the facts it was open for any purpose
authorized by law. Another point was
that the court failed to give in charge 10
the jury the law about prisoner making
a statement in his own behalf.
The court reserved It's decision in the
three cases.
