This tobacco warehouse, which has
become landmark in our tobacco
trade and has so long occupied a
prominent place in the market, will
continue to be operated by one
of its founders, and always
the active salesman of the house, Mr..
j. G. Kendrick, and his efficient part
ner, Mr.. Chas. d. Runyon. These
gentlemen met with very gratifying
measure of success in the conduct OF
the Central last season, their receipts
running very high, considering the
small crop, and they are in it again
for the ensuing season, as their card
in our advertising columns will
show. Few men in the West, age
considered, have longer experience
as a warehouseman than Capt. Ken
drick, while Mr.. Runyon takes
naturally to the business and both
are very popular with the masses
and hustlers in the field. They will
do bigger business the forthcoming
season than last. Their ware
house is one of the best arranged in
the city, and tobacco can be handled
quickly and conveniently. They
have a well trained corps of assis-
tants, and tobacco entrusted to them
will be in good hands.

The Archer Verdict.

The verdict in the case of the State
against the bondsmen of Stevenson
Archer pleases nobody. It is one
of the eccentricities of the jury mind
Ian illogical result which is popu-
larIy called compromise.
The case was ably and exhaustive
~ argued. Every resource of law
and oratory was brought to bear up
on it. All through the legal part of
the contest the State was victorious.
On practically every point it won,
aud so clear was its cause that full
verdict for what it demanded seem
ed certain. But while the right was
with the State, the sympathy was
with the bondsmen, and sympathy
in the jury.room succeeded in cut
ting down the amount FROM $121,
029 on 20 a round 500. 900. Judged
by the evidence aud instruction Of
the court, this sum is ridiculous. II
the State is entitled to 500, 900 it is
entitled to s121, 029 OF. 1t remains
TO be seen what will be done with
the motion for new trial. Perhaps
the court may set aside lhe verdics.
IN either event the case will probably
go to the Court of Appeals, and il
Will be some time before the State
gets any Of the money. Its signiti.

men is based on the official negli
