TRY A PICKING FACTORY.
A Baltimore Farmer Makes q Sugges
ton to Savannah Farmers

A Baltimore Farmer Makes q sugges-
ton to Savannah Farmers.
J. r. Calhoun of Baltimore writes to the
MORNING NEWS that he read the interview
with Maj Ryals which the MORNING News
printed last week in reference to a vegetable
canning factory, and having had a varied
experience in the business lie believes that
picking factory would be paying enter
prise for Savannah. Mr.. Calhoun does not
know of picking factory south of Rich
mond, and he says that if ne is written to
he will be glad to give the
farmers of Savannah any information
he may have about the matter; the PUTTING
up of cucumbers, cabbage, caulifiowerS,
beans, pepper, and other pickles, and also
directions for preparing their own vinegar
Mr.. Calhoun says that a factory can be
started on very little capital-much less
than sny one would suppose. A canning
factory, he says, would unquestionably pay,
but 1t would require more capital to start it.
Mr.. Calhoun says that farmers can make
money by picking their own crops, and at
the same time they could buy up the surplus
crops of their neighbors. One hundred and
fifty dollars, he says, will start q picking
f0ctory on a small scale.

valleys. Rains all over the country east

A QUESTION TO BE DECIDED.
Whether the Louisville Road is q Main
Street or a Thoroughfare.


There is a difference between a thor
oughfare" and 'main street" and when
Chairman Bourquin Of the bard Of road
commissioners refers to the decision of the
city attorney referring TO that part OF the
Louisville road lying within the corporate
limits as not being a ''thOroughfare, the
term is not one used in City Att rney
| Adams opinion, which was published in full
/ in 10 MORNING NEWS, for he recognizes 10
to be "thoroughfare."
| MIR. Adams letter Of advice to Alderman
| Harmon, chairman of the street and lane
committee, expressed the opinion at the
| Louisville road is not a ''main street" to
use the language Of the code.
In referring to the subject yesterday, Mr..
Adams said: THE law upon which Mr..
| Bourquin relies, and which he cites in his
order to the magistrates, is section 652 Of the
code, which st res the law as it has existed
since Jan. l, 1868, and which provides for
justices Of the peace calling out residents OF
the city who are liable 10 road duty when
the main streets Of an incorporated town or
city continue in a state of neglect for three
months In my letter Of advice / express
the opinion that the Louisville road is not
one of the main streets Of the city OF
Savannah, and that, therefore, the law
cited by MIR. Bourquin did not apply to the
reason that, in my opinion, the local and
la er law Of 1876 exempted residents OF the
city from road duty, thought. and am
still of the opinion that there Is no authority
Of law for the issuing Of these summonses,
and troubling and dl ,turbing the residents
Of the First district"
Mr.. Bourquin does not seem inclined to
accept the opinion Of the city attorney as
binding nor does he seem disp sed TO ex-
cuSe the justices of the peace OF the first
district from carrying out what he believes
to be the legal remedy for putting the road
in repa r. II assured that the road will be
put in good condition by either the city or
the county authorities within a reasonable
time and thus assured officially. he is will
ing to have the justices of the first district
cancel the summonses issued: otherwise he
will hold the justices to account for the re-
pair Of the road under the provisions Of his
order as president Of the board of road COM
misSiOuers
There appears to be an issue between
counsel for the city and counsel for the JUS
tees Of the peace, wuo refrained from is
suing the summonses until they had taken
legal advice. The citizens of the first dis
trict are in quandary whether to be gov
erned by the order of the justices Of the
peace, command them to appear and
work the road next Wednesday and Thurs
day, or refuse to do so ana run the risk of
having executions issued against EN-.
They have not been notified by the justices
OF any voiding Of the summonses since they
were issued, nor has the mayor, by any
proclamation or official notice, authorized
them to ignore the summonses. The situa-
ton Is an embarrassing one TO them and
must remain SO until the matter is settled.

MILLER q co. sCoRCHED.
Fire Starts in Pile of Moss In the
Besemet of Their tore.

Fire Starts in Pile of Moss In the
Bssemet of their store.
A fire broke out in the basement of the
A. ]. Miller Co. furniture store in the
Weed building. on Broughton street, at $50
O'Clock last night, but the prompt arrival
and effective work of the fremen confined
the fire to the basement, and the loss. which
is covered by insurance, will not be over
$500.
The fire was first discovered by Mr.. Hey
ward, one Of the statesmen. He had fastened
the lane doors preparatory to closing up,
when he noticed smoke coming up through
the elevator opening, and he Immediately
sent in a telephone alarm to firemen's head
quarters. An alarm was also turned in
from b x III, and engines one, two and
three, with their hose reels and the hook
ed ladder truck, responded, but only the
No. l eng ne was required.
When the firemen reached the scene of
the fire the flames were issuing from the
basement window on the lane, three bales
OF moss being in a blaze. At one time the
flames flashed up through the elevator to q
hight # ten feet
The firemen forced open the iron doors
and went in amid fire and st fling SMOKE.
and soon had the flames under control. The
moss, excelsior and boxes were burned, and
sllRnt damage was done to some of the
furniture in the basement and on the first
floor by water and smoke
Broughton street was packed with people
called out by "Box IA, " which always brings
the people out, and it being Saturday night
and at an early hour, the market building
and the stores were crowded. Every cd v
hurried to the scene of the fire
One of the marked features of the work
gs of the fire department was the quick
time the engines made in getting to the Fl Q,
and with steam up and the engines ready to
work when the hose connections were made.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
it is thought spark or a lighted Gig Jar or
cigarette vas dropped through the basement
graft on the lane sida igniting the com
bustible moss which was stored in that por-
ton of the building.
While the tremen we're at work bright
light southeast of the city caused an alarm
south of Anderson street. The Protection
hose reel went out short distance and re-
turned.
The Broughton street fire, by the block
ing of the street car tracks, threw the cars
out of schedule for couple of trips On the
City and Suburban lines it was 10 O'Clock
before the cars were got back in schedule.
The trouble was caused by the blocking OF
cars on the switches, the conductors holding
their cars in an effort to get off duty at
their regular hours

THE ST. NICHOLAS CASE.
The Injured Excursionists Put on the
Stand to estiiy.

The Injured Excursionists Put on the
Stand to estiiy.
The hearing Of testimony before Commits
sioner Christy in the damage cases against
the steamer st. Nicholas was resumed yester-
day morning After hearing portion OF the
testimony an adjournment was taken until
O'clock when a number of the libellants
were put on the stand to swear to their
injuries. The witnesses were Anna England,
Margaret Youmans. Dennis McLemon, and
Nancy Grant. A great deal of annoyance
was experienced on account Of the ignorance
of some of the witnesses, and it was hard
matter TO get some of them to explain 80
that their testimony could be inuelligibly
put on record.
The witnesses were put on the stand for
the purpose Of giving testimony as to their
injuries, but the question in regard to the
position Of the lights on the bridge on the
night Of the collision was inves tigated to a
considerable extent, and the evidence tended
TO compllcate rather than elucidate matters.
All OF the witnesses for the libellants
have not yet been examined and large
number are yet to testify. The steamboat
mpany has subpel Ell quite a number of
witnesses, and the examination is expected
to consume about two eeks more. The
testimony is voluminous, and the record
Will Do an exhaustive one.
The two stenogra hers engaged in taking
the testimony will have great deal of hard
work before them when the time comes to
write out the record, and they are already
tired Of the case.
The examination was adjourned at 6
O'Clock last night until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. r. R. Richards, w. R. Leaken,
I. P. Ravenel, A. II. MacDonel, Capt.
Usina, and Capt. Boullneau were present
at the examination yesterday.
