MANY ARE REGISTERING.
Record of Registration Very High
for an OF Year.

The registration of voters of Chatham
county for the current year has been go
ing on a rate quite unusual in years for
which no general or special election is
scheduled. Already the books contain the
names of 2.42S voters and they continue
to come in steadily.
Many of those who are being registered
have not paid their taxes for a number
of years and have to settle a very re-
spectacle little bill the state and county
hold against them before they are per-
mitted to get their names on the list
These say they have become suddenly
impressed with the importance of being
in a position to indicate their choice for
public offices The registration IS a per-
sonal matter altogether this year, as there
are no elections in prospect and no fac
ton or party is making any particular eff
fort to get its adherents qualified to vote.
The law of the state contemplates, and
indeed requires, yearly registration, and
though the penalty is not heavy the con-
venience to the voter in being always on
the list is a matter of some Importance
to him. Frequently he is thus saved from
a disagreeable experience at the polls,
when ne offers his ballot.

The Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany has decided to furnish current con-
tinuously, night and day during the hot
weather, on their circuits in the residence
districts, that their patrons may enjoy the
cooling breezes from electric fans in their
homes. These fans are run on the same
circuit as the incandescent lamps and a
fan may be run anywhere in the house by
simply removing a lamp and substituting
the attachment plug for a fan.
The fans are connected by long flexible
cords and may be carried anywhere in the
ROOM If electric lights are not used in
the house, the wires may be run to several
rooms where it might be desired to oper-
ate fan. The wires may be, and usually
are concealed thus not defacing ceilings
or walls in the least.
In dining rooms ceiling fans are often
used, sometimes being substituted for a
chandelier, in which case several mean
descent lamps are attached below the fan
blades, making a very attractive chan
delier
The Electric Light Company is offering
special Inducements to those who apply
for this service during this month. and
have a stock of fans suitable for use in
residences which they will sell at very low
prices.
The cost of this service is remarkably
low, and there is no excuse for a house
hold not being comfortable at all times
during the hot season.

Died Suddenly Yesterday of Heart
Failure.

Mrs Joseph A. Cronk died early yester-
day morning at her home. No. II Jones
street, east She had been in Ill health
for some eighteen months, but her death
was very sudden and unexpected. Heart
failure, added to the complaint from
which she had long suffered. caused her
demise The night before, some of Mrs.
Cronk's relatives were with her, and she
was then cheerful and hopeful
Mrs. Cronk was a member of the Ro-
liable nature and had been connected with
some of the prominent works of charity
in Savannah. She was a member of the
Executive Board OF the Abrahams Home,
and also of the Telfair Home. She lived
all her life in Savannah, and the city has
been better for the charity she has dis
pensed.
The late John G. Cooke was the father
of Mrs. Cronk. He was, prior to the Civil
War prominent cotton merchant of Sa-
vannah, but after the war, removed to
Albany, where he was engaged in the
same business. The only Immediate rel
alive surviving Mrs. Cronk is her bereft
husband. Mr.. Joseph A. Cronk, the at
torney.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 4:SO o'clock, from the Cathedral
OF St John the Baptist. The service will
oe conducted by RI Rev. Bishop b. j.
Kelley The following gentlemen will act
as pallbearers: Capt. John Flannery. Mr..
II. A. Palmer. Capt. Henry Blum. Capt.
Thomas F. Screven. Mr. r. r., Johnson.
Capt. NJ. A. O'Byrne. Mr. A. l.. Shellman
and Maj Thomas Screven.

PRICES WERE TOO LOW.
Mr.. John l.. Archer Discouraged at
Result of Auction Reform.

At the auction sale at The Meadows
yesterday afternoon five lots were sold
at from 1919 to $S77.5O each. While 1t is
true the lots sold were considered the
least desirable in that section the prices
were considered entirely too low. Last
year lots in this section brought from
S525 to $3.50 each, and have been selling at
these averages at private sale since.
Mr.. Archer said he is discouraged at
the outcome of his effort to change the
system OF auctioning. In his recent Auc-
ton. he said, he had insisted on owners
putting an upset price of what he con-
sidered to be half the value OF lots, hop
ing to get something like a fair price
without having by-bldders. 1t appears
that the people will not bid more than
the advertised upset price. To get no bet
ter bids than $3.50 or $500 for lots that
sell at double those prices at private sale
is very discouraging. Lots sold at $3.50
and 500 two weeks ago can't be bought
to-day for less than $500 or $500 A sin
gle lot in The Meadows can't be bought
to-day for less than $500.

GRANTED A FIRST VERDICT.
Grounds on Which Mrs. Durham Sc
cured a Divorce.

Mrs. Susie B. Durham was granted a
first verdict Of total divorce in her suit
against her husband Maj. Bradford Dun
ham, in the Superior Court yesterday
morning. The verdict was granted on the
ground of cruel treatment.
There was a considerable amount of
mystery attendant upon the proceedings.
The session had scarcely been
opened when Mrs. Dunham's attorney,
Mr.. G. w Owens, had jury selected and
called and placed in the box. No witnesses
were examined, the only testimony offered
being the interrogatories of the plaintiff,
and the matter was disposed of with
'neatness, celebrity and dispatch"
Mr.. Owens read over the interrogatories
rapidly and in voice so low that some
of the jurymen, even. said afterwards
they could not hear what they were.
Cruel treatment was alleged in that Mai.
Durham had made false charges against
his wife, and had abused and
villified her on numerous oc-
casions. In reference to this matter Judge
Faligant charged the jury that accusa-
tons of that character made by a hus-
band against a wife which were false,
were under the laws of Georgia, such
cruelty as would entitle her 40 a verdict
of divorce.
Mrs. Durham further said in her inter
rogatories that her husband had remark
ed that If things were to continue as they
were at the time he spoke it would be
better if she and he both were dead. 1t
was declared that he kept about the house
an arsenal of weapons, including several
revolyers and several shotguns, and that
the conjunction of thought inspired by
death he was accustomed to make and
the presence in the house of these weap-
one was alarming and distressing.
Mrs. Durham said she had been out
ragged by the falsity of the charges her
husband had made and by their grossness,
and that though he had got down on his
knees afterwards to beg her forgiveness.
she could not forgive and had not for
given.
Since her separation from her husband
induced by his false charges against her
and other cruel treatment, he had con-
tributed nothing to her support. The only
contribution he had made to the support
of herself and two children was $50 he
had sent the latter.
Mrs. Durham did not appear in court
and, under the law, the allegations OF
| the petition and the statements of the in
| terrogatories were taken pro confesso.
| They made out a case for the grant of a
verdict of divorce and in his charge
| Judge Faligant virtually so instructed
| the jury. The jurors returned a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff without leaving
their seats.

REASONS FOR DISSOLUTION
Why the Firm of Dixon, Mitchell &
Co. Is to Be Wound Up.


The plaintiff in the case of Harry
Mitchell against Merritt W. Dixon, filed
an amendment to his original petition in
the Superior Court yesterday, in which
further allegations as to the causes Of
the dissolution are made and further re-
lief asked of the court.
In this amendment to his petition the
tween the members of said partnership
became necessary because of an irrecon-
cilable difference of opinion between your
petitioner and the said Merritt w. Dixon
as to the manner in which the business
of said firm should be conducted, said
differences being so radical in their nature
as to preclude cooperation in the man
agement of said business between the
partners, and consequently said partner
ship business, because of such want of
cooperation, is at a standstill and has
become congested, the obligations of said
business falling due and running up in
terest and the business not being con-
Quoted so as to realize cash out of its
assets sufficient to pay it's current debts,
and consequently, because of such con-
gestion and want of management, the as
sets of the firm are likely to be wasted
and destroyed"
In the amendment the prayer is made
that the defendant, Merritt w Dixon, be
restrained from interfering with the fur
Their management or control of the firms
business and that the court will marshal
all the asests of the firm, wind up its
business and pay all it's creditors their
claims, according to the dignity and pri-
GRITTY of each claim, as fixed by law.
Judge F'alligant granted an order di-
recting that the amendment be permitted
and filed and that the defendant show
cause on June Is why he should not be
restrained from in any way interfering
with the firms business or impeding its
progress towards liquida ton.
