SALOONKEEPERS IN IT.
EIGHTEEN Of THEM INDICTED FOR
KEEPING OPEN sUND AVS.

The Grand Jury Takes Up the Sunday
Violators - The Plea OF Twice in
Jeopardy Does Not Hold IN Case of
Violation OF Two Laws-The Solicitor
General Takes Sunday Tipping Into
the higher Courts.
The saloonkeepers who disregarded Mayor
McDonough's injunction about closing their
places Sundays have come to grief. Had
things stopped in the mayors court it would
have been different, but now they will have
to face the superior court for the violation
of the Sunday laws.
In nearly every case where a saloonkeeper
was before Mayor McDonough the point
was raised that if any offense had been
committed it was against the state laws,
therefore the police court had no jurisdic-
ton in the cases, because person could not
be punished twice for the same offense. The
plea didn't work, though, and instead Of
securing immunity from the mayor, only
compelled solicitor General Fraser to take
cognizance of the ofPenses and bring the
.saloonkeepers to the attention Of the grand
jury.
The solicitor general was asked what Of
feet conviction in the superior court would
have upon Mayor McDonough's judge
mentsl None whatever" he replied. A
man may be tried for an offense against
city ordinance in the police court, and il
the offense is also covered by state law be
may afterward be tried in a higher court.
A man who assaults another on the street
and is arrested can be fined for disorderly
conduct by the mayor, and afterward prose-
cuted and fined in either the city or SUI
periOr courts for assault and battery, al
though it is the same offense he is punished
for each time.
Eighteen special presentments were yes
terday returned by the grand jury against
parties already fined by Mayor McDonough.
The charge against each is keeping tip~
ping house open on the Sabbath" They
are as follows:
Ivy s. Hall, Celia Walsh, Felix Mendel,
Thomas Hculihan, Mary A. Bandy, Henry
Blanke, John Warren, J. +. Meyer, Her
man Renken. Fl. J. SEMINARS and j. H.
Lenkeman, J. NJ. Denmark, Henry Finken,
Albert Thomas, John Bresnan, two, and
Maria E. Larkin. two.
These parties will be tried at the Decem-
Der term Of the superior court.

The ''beard Of equslizationn bill which

THE sCUPPERNoNG CROP.

The Juicy Grape Plentiful This Year
and BEGINNING to Come In Now.
The scuppernong crop is beginning to
ripen and Savannah should be well supplied
with this luscious grape, as there is any
quantity of them grown, and the crop is
reported very good this year. So far only
few shipments have been received in Sa-
vannah, chiefly from Gordon on the Central
railroad. They are retailing at 10 cents to
Is cents quart.
There is no reason, fruit men say, why
the scuppernong should not be shipped north
in large quantities. 1t is delicious grape
and ships well, having a very thick
skin. The commission men here say that
they make very few shipments. 1t may be
because there are plenty Of northern grapes
on the market at that time, but as the
scuppernong is an entirely different grape
from any raised in the northern climate it
should command some sale there.
A splendid wine is made from the SOUP
pernong, but very little of it is sold If
there were demand for this wine at 81 a
gallon, the farmers could make more money
off one acre of common gray land in
scuppernong grapes than on forty acres in
cotton.
