HURTS CLOTHES AND TRUCK.
That Is What Is Claimed Against the
LampbIack Factory.

The work of the Recorders Court was
delayed yesterday by the consideration OF
a case that was long-drawn out. Even
by $50 o'clock it was not settled and it
will be necessary for the court to visit
the lampblack factory and pass person.
ally upon the matters in dispute That
will be next Wednesday. In the meantime
the lampblack factory will continue TO
smoke as its custom has been.
Mr. C. E. Broughton was charged with
operating the factory, which is claimed to
be nuisance. Mr. NJ. c. Smallwood is
the chief complainant and is represented
by Mr.. f. NJ. Oliver. Mr. Broughton is
represented by Col. George T. Cam.
1t was insisted by the complainants that
the factory is a gross nuisance, dense vol
umes of black smoke pouring from irs
chimneys and scattering SCOT over the adj
jacent premises to the utter discomfort
of residents. Washerwomen complain
about the black stuff discoloring the
clothes hung out to dry and truck grow
ers insist that their vegetables are so COW
cred with it as 20 present but a sorry
sight when displayed for sale in the mar
ket.
Col. Cam brought out that there has
been no apparent diminuton in value of
property adjacent to the lampblack fac
tory, which is on lot As. Springfield PLAN
tation, on the southwest outskirts of the
city, but rather an appreciation. The
principal complainant himself admitted on
being questioned. that he had bought ten
acres IN that neighborhood, and had sold
two and half to the Georgia and Ala
bama, when it was after property for the
union station, securing about twice as
much for the fraction as he had paid for
his whole tract. For the balance he gets

So much was said about the factory, for
and against 1t, that the court decided there
was nothing for it. but a visit to the scene
of the dispute. The case was left unde-
cided, pending the result of that visit.
