FOUND FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
But Only for Half the sum That Had
Been Claimed by Him.

The case of William Canuett against Z.
r. Hunting & Co. held the attention OF
Judge Falligant and jury in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday afternoon. The case
was an appeal from a Justices court,
and though the amount in dispute was
small, ii presented numerous important
questions of law.
The suit was founded on a shipment
of lumber to the defendants by the plain
lifts made some time ago. The plaintiff
contended that a certain amount had been
shipped: the defendants offered proof to
show that very much less had been re-
ceived. This made the issue, the lower
court having found for the plaintiff and
the defendants having appealed the case
to a jury in the Superior Court.
The case was complicated by a question
as to the local customs of the lumber busi-
hess in Savannah, which the defendants
claimed had been in contemplation be-
tween the parties at the time the con,
tract for the shipment was made and
which formed, therefore, a constituent
part of the agreement. This contention.
though, was disposed of by Judge Falli-
CANT, who charged the jury that If the
custom were purely local and had not
been brought to the attention of the plain
tiff at the time of the contract and was
not then in actual contemplation by him,
he could not be bound by it. The partic.
ular custom referred to was that of the
Savannah lumber trade by which 1t il
understood that all goods shipped shall
be subject to the inspection and that duan-
THY and quality shall be determined by
the verdict Of the inspector of the con.
signee.
The jury ultimately found for the plain.
! tiff, after being for some time out of
the court room. II found for him. though.
In only about half of the amount sueo
for and that had been recovered in the
court below. The plaintiff was represent
ed by Mr.. d. II. Clark and the defend
ants by Messrs. Charlton, Mackall & An.
derson.

RAIL RATES FOR DEWEY DAY.
SAVANNAH LINES DECIDE UPON
WHAT THEY WILL ASK.

Conference Committee of the south
eastern Passenger Association
Meets Feb. 20 in AtIanta-Agree-
ment of LOCAL Lines Will Then
Probably BE Ratihed-One Fare for
Civilians and One Cent a Mile Per
Capitn for Military Companies
Asked for a Certain Territory.
Tickets VIII Be on Sale Two Days
and Good Through March 22-News
of the Railroads.
The railway lines entering Savannah
have decided upon the rates they will adj
vocate for the Dewey celebration in this
city next month. meeting of tfle Con-
ference Committee of the Southeastern
Passenger Association will be held in At
lanta on Feb 20, when the decision reach
ed by the lines principally interested will
be presented.
Representatives of The Savannah lines
will be at the meeting. and viii do all
they can TO have the Conference Commit
tee concur. 1t is believed there will be
but little difficulty encountered. The re-
quests OF lines with Inc chief interests
usually prevail in such cases. and no
doubt is felt that what the Savannah gen.
eral passenger agents ask will be granted.
At a meeting Of the general passenger
agents of the Georgia ana Alabam ma, the
Central, the Plant System and the Flor
ida Central and Peninsuar. the agreement
as to the rates was reached. one fare
for the round trip from a certain terri
tory was decided upon for civilians and
cent mile per capita for military com,
panies.
The survey extends as far as 300 miles
from Savannah in some directions. 1t in
cludes Atlanta, LAGRANGE, Newman, Co.
lumbus, cambridge Junction City and
Jacksonville; and, in the other direction,
Covington, Athens, Augusta. Columbia
and Charleston. All points included with
In an imaginary line drawn through those
places will enjoy the benefit of the cheap
rates provided the Conference Committee
accedes to the suggestion. The tickets
will be Offered for sale March 10 and 20,
and will be good returning through
March %.
The general passenger agent of one OF
these lines said last night that he believes
the Conference Committee will acquiesce
in the arrangement. The official consid-
ers the rates advantageous, and that they
should attract large crowd. He has
heard, he says, that there are a number of
military commands that will gladly take
advantage of the low rates offered. The
territory included is all that could be
asked, ne said, as other places are to
have the distinguished visitor, and the
railroads could not afford to go far beyond
them with their low rates. Jacksonville
and Atlanta places the Admiral is also
booked to visit viii have territory left
them for their rates by the arrangement
decided upon, and 1t was a case of the
Savannah lines following the divine in
Junction and doing unto others as they
would have them do unto them.

NOT VERY ELEGANT.
worked Like a Cows Cud.

A gentleman in Northampton, Mass,
who requests that his name be kept
from print, had a curious experience with
coffee drinking. He states that when he
was accustomed to the use of coffee he
would, after every meal, belch up gas
and more or less coffee would come with
it, A part of it would run back down
his throat, and, as he says, initiating in
way the manner of COW chewing a
cud. He deprecates the inelegant illus
tration, but knows of no other way to
explain the condition.
He says further that he was puzzled
for very long time to account for sal
low complexion and bilious condition,
with heavy, dull, miserable feeling af-
ter the meals, and no medicines or treat
ment would remove the difficulty. "a
friend warned me that coffee was the
cause of my trouble, but l could not
bring myself to believe this, until after
a time / made the experiment of leaving
off coffee altogether and took up Postum
Food Coffee.
ITO my surprise, the Ills all quickly
stole away and / am new healthy and in
prime condition. l know what l am
talking about when 1 say that with some
people coffee causes belching of gas and
some most disgusting and disagreeable
features. IT also causes headaches, con-
stipation, blotches and jaundice, with a
general upsetting and breaking down OF
the nervous system, II persisted in. /
know also that these troubles will disap-
pear when coffee is given up and Postum
Cereal Food Coffee used in its place"
