TEN OF THEM.

There is no lack 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 1nah,
| and they average about the same as similar
| establishments in other cities.
They give employment to between 800 and 400
people, and, taking the usual computation, fur
nish bread for from 1900 to 2, 400 mouths.
Ninety-nine per cent. of that number are white
| people. who contribute to the healthy growth
and general prosperity Of the city.
1t lis true that these working people don handle
| naval Stores rice or cotton, but they and their
| fellow workmen buy clothes and food and pay
rent, which adds directly or Indirectly to the
prosperity of the merchants.
When 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
well at home.
It is well-known fact that printing litho-
| graphing and binding are sent from this city to
concerns that have no facilities of their own for
doing such work, but farm it out on 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 ostensibly an advertisement of
! the MORNING NEWS PRINTING House. il is hoped
that it will be rea 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 nine printing offices, add
greatly to their prosperity.

entering the upper part of the breast aud
the other INJECTING scalp wound. Essie
ran screaming from the room, with the
blood pouring from her wounds. Then
Rouche opened fire on Bounce. who
was in bed. One out of two
more shots took sliGh effect on the head, but
the ammunition being exhausted a tussle
ensued, in which Bounce was badly
mailed. Rouche then went to the room he
had occupied during the night aud DELHI
erately cut his own throat with a small
knife. inhicting CHASTITY wound,
from which the blood poured in tor
rents. A policeman on the beat
hearing the shots and the cries broke in the
door and first found Rouche stretched face
downward across the bed in a pool of blood
but not unconscious. The Virgins girl had
tainted. Up to this hour none of the par
ties concerned are dead, although the
wounds of two of them are serious.

had sat up high in the south and behind
the door up north, but they had the grace
of God in their hearts all the time. Now
there are S, 752 travelling preachers in the
African church. Then his Protestant Epis-
copal brothers had some. too. They mar
ried their sons to others daughters, and
if there was a good thing in either
church they were sure to get it. Altogether
there were more than half of the negroes
