tinuance for Two Weeks.
ROME. GA, Oct. TT was hot legal
battle from to 10 o'clock this morning on
the Defendants motion made yesterday for
a continuance OF the Beresford case. The
result of the battle is that the defense will
not get continuance, but the courts grant

tons for the trial. What is the true name

out in Beaver, Pa, showed that he sw ore
to his name as Sydney Lascelles He regis
tered his wife at Rome as Mrs. Sydney Las
celles. Several witnesses were introduced
who also swore that Beresford had told
them that his true name was Lascelles. All
this was objected TO by the counsel for the
defense as not competent in a showing for
a continuance, as 1t would be on the trial Of
the case, The objections was overruled by
the court
Col. d. B. Hamilton created some amuse-
ment by swearing that Mr.. Pendleton, who
had recommended Beresford to him in fiat
tering terms, told him atterward that
Beresford was the most consummate scoun-
drel alive.

TEN OF THEM

There is no lock OF competition in the printing
trade in Savannah, and there is, therefore, no
excuse for merchants who have made, or are
making their fortunes here sending their work
abroad.
There are Ten printing Offices in Sava nah,
and they average aoout the same as similar
establishments in other cities.
They give employment to between 300 and 400
people, and, taking the usual computation. fur
nish bread for from 500 to ., 400 mouths.
Ninety nine per cent. of that number are white
people. who contribute TO the healthy growth
and general prosperity of the city.
It's true thar these working people don't handle
naval stores, rice or cotton, but they and their
fellow workmen buy clothes AM food and pay
rent. which adds, directly or indirectly, to the
prosperity OF the merchants.
Wien the peace of the city Is threatened these
men stand guard ready to do soldiers duty in
defense of the lives and property of their fellow
citizens.
There is not line of established business in
Savannah that cannot compete with similar
concerns abroad, and there is no excuse for the
man who sends his orders for clothes, shoes,
groceries and printing. etc away, when he can
by investigation OF prices find that he can do as
we'll at home
graphing and binding are sent from this city to
concerns that have no facilities of their own for
doing such work. but farm il out on a percent
age. Business men can get any kind OF printing
done in Savannah that can be done elsewhere
They can get good work at fair prices. or Cheap
John" stuff that is dear at any price. The con
Germ that has the latest labor saving machinery
can, as rule give the best work for the least
money"
While this is ostensiby an advertisement of
the MORNING News PRINTING HOUSE, it is hoped
that it will be rec by those people who appear
to have lost sight of the fact that saving few
| cents one way and losing dollars another way is
not good business management.
The amount of printing sent from this city
would support another establishment like that
| Of the MORNING NEWS, or which. If distributed
among the other nj le printing Offices, add
greatly to Their prosperity.

Much Virtue in Gulf Water.

Probably you never beard OF 1t before,
but the water of the Gulf stream is con-
fidently believed by certain old people on
Staten Island to be sovereign remedy
for disorders of the stomach. They drink
half glassful after each meal, smack
their lips, and in about three days they
get well. So they say. So pilots and
other seafaring men who get out to the
Gulf stream are frequently importuned
to bring in jugs Of the gulf water for
the invalids. There is a saloon keeper
down there whose faith in this sort Of
thing is unlimited, and he has been be-
sieging for about three years Il certain
pilot of his acquaintance to bring him IN
some of the water. But the pilot always
forgot.
The other day, however, he ticlkled the
old man almost to death by bringing
him three jugs of the precious liquid.
The saloon keeper began to brace up at
once, and three days later he chased the
pilot half way around the island to over
whelm him with gratitude.
$50 it did you good, did it," says the
pilot.
"Good?" says the old man. why,
bless you, my boy, it has added ten years
to my life. feel like a youngster again
I'll bet l can beat you in a foot race
right here"
And the pilot did not smile nor jibe
nor jeer. But when the flood tide haG
been running about IN hour that even
ing he went softly down to the end O
Stapleton pier, drew out tin buckle
and dipped up about gallon Of th'
limpid stream. And the next mornin;
the saloon keeper was overjoyed to &c
two more jugs of Gulf stream waite
from his thoughtful friend.
"Its kind of a shabby trick" says tn
pilot apologetically, "but as long a
there are buckets handy around Staple
