DEEP WATER FOR SAVANNAH.
a resolution by Mir. Clifton of Chatham
was taken up 20 convene in joint session
at II 30 O'Clock tomorrow 10 hear the adj
dres5 by Hon. Pat Calhoun on the subject
Of deep water at the port OF Savannah.
There was considerable discussion over a
proposition 10 change the hour named fer
the address 50 as not 20 interfere with the
business of the legislature. Incidentally
Senator Nunnally stated that he hoped Mr..
Calhoun would talk about deep water and
not about railroad combination. Ia expla-

This brought out several sharp rejoinders
from the Calhoun men and from the Gordon
| men.

said and wanted it distinctly understood

thing more personal than that the motion
| to change the time was lost and the resolu-
ton passed as it came from the House.
