THE CHARGES SUSTAINED.
Barrel Manufacturers Will Be In
strueted to be Careful in the Future

Barrel Manufacturers Will Be In
structsd to be Careful in the Future.
The committee appointed by the Savan-
nah Board of Trade to look into the
spirits of turpentine barrel matter, and
find out if the charges made that the ma
jority of the barrels gagged more than
they held, fully sustained the charges
made in their report made to thai body
Wednesday afternoon, as announced in
yesterdays MORNING News
A thorough and systematic investiga-
ton of the matter was conducted and the
committee found these false-gauged
barrels even to a greater extent than had
been supposed would be the case. The
committee made out plain case against
somebody, and found during its inspection
that nearly all the barrels of spirits
shipped to this port up to the time the in
veStigatiOn began, gagged from three
fOurths of a gallon to two gallons moro
than the barrels held by actual measure
ment. This they stated as fact in its
report.
The committee also made some recon-
mendatiOns as result of which some
pretty warm letters, it is said, win be
written to all the barrel manufacturers
who come in competition in this section,
and they will be urged, in future to make
fair barrel, and one that will gauge
properly ana squarely, under penalty
that if they do not do this,
and falsely gauging barrels are
found with their mark on
them, the buyers will after that reject
them. They also recommended that a
monthly inspection of tuTpantine bar
rels, as they come into port, be made for
the purpose Of finding whether their re-
quiremeuts are being complied with. If
a barrel maker is found to be dis
regarding these demands, his article will
be put on the black list and no goods
shipped in it win be received by the
buyers 1t may operate also against the
producer who uses these barrels
The report was adopted as a whole, and
several suggestions and recommends
lions were made with regard to the man
ner of inspection and other matters Ii
is probable that in future barrel makers
will be careful to send out only eood
and reliable product as, from all accounts,
1t will be highly to their interest to do
50.

a Favorite Dndce-

1t is 1.-THE thing nowadays with some
colored brethren to get groceries at
several stores Oh the same ticket. These
tickets or checks are issued by the
Ocean Steamship Company and others 10
their employees, and are accepted by all
grOcers with the same readiness as cash, as
at the end Of the month the company paws
the amount that the tickets are good for
to the grocers. Yesterday morning Robt.
Welcome, colored, went into j. j. Bar
rett's place and presenting one of these
checks received groceries to the amount
of 50 10. In short while Grant Hamil-
ton, also colored, got 81 worth of goods on
another check. Both of the negroes then
went to another store in Yamacraw, and
presenting the same tickets, got another
lot of groceries. Mr.. Barrett, having dis
covered the fraud, went before judge
EIsinger and swore out warrant for
their arrest. The negroes were appre-
hended shortly after and lodged in laiI on
a charge OF cheating and swindling.

The Genuine and the Sham.

Every good thing has its host of imita-
tors; every genuine article its counter
feits. The imitators always choose the
most valuable and popular article to
counterfeit, so that when they claim their
sham to be equal, or as good, or the same
as "So-and-So's" the public may depend
upon it that "So-and-Sos" article is the
best of the kind The sham proves the
genuine merit of the thing it copies and
never has this been better illustrated
than by the limitations of ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs.
ALLCoCK's Porous PLASTER is the
standard Of excellence the world over
and It's lmitators in their cry that theirs
IS as good as ALLCoCK's' are only empba-
sizing this fact and admitting AL
COCKS" to be the acme Of perfection.
which it is their highest ambition to imi,
tate. The difference between the genuine
and these limitations, which COPY onIv
general appearance. is as wide as that he
tween copper and gold
The only safe way for purchasers is To
always insist upon having AILCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs. They are the only
perfect plasters ever produced .-ad,

the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad

in Columbia to appear before the House
committee, and protest against any favor
able action on the measure.
What the legislature will do in the
matter, of course, is not known, but
many fears have been expressed that the
Tillman contingent would force its passage
IN spite of any or all protests. 1t is con
sidered movement on the part of the
executive government to bring the mat

fact the report of the attorney general
stated that or words to that effect
That question is now also in the courts,
but the Central will fight any and all at

III the courts or before the legislative
body. That is the mission of Receiver
Conner and Capt. Cunningham to Column
bia. At the time this measure was pro-
iected the Centrals attorneys stated that
vigorous protest would be entered
against its passage. In case Of the pas
sage Of the bill, as fears seem 10 indicate,
it would not, of course, be allowed to
stand until the courts, and the supreme
court of the United States, for that mat

would DO injury TO their business. The
petition is intended to prevent the estab-
lishment of a saloon at the corner of Con-
RresS and Whitaker streets.
