Triumphs of 1902.

Seldom if ever in any one year of
the history of the world have so many
important events of universal interest
taken place, America, England, Ger
many, and France have each partici-
pated. The President of the United
States welcomed and entertained H.
X. H. Prince Henry of Prussia at the
White House, Edward the VII. was
crowned King of England and Emper-
or of India, the German Emperor had
his American built yacht, Meteor"
christened: France had the unwilling
of the Rochambeau Statue. and at all
functions attending these celebrated
Moet & Chandon's Champagne was
used exclusively. This indeed is an I'M
paralelled record, which is proof pos
tive of the superiority and popularity
of the renowned branch of Moet &
Chandon's White Seal-ad.

GAVE WIFE THE CHILDREN.
InfeIicity Terminated in
Legal Separation.

Mrs. Sallie V. Smith was granted a
total divorce from her husband, William
P. Smith, in the Superior Court yester-
day, the court decreeing that the GUS
tody of the four minor children be
awarded to the mother. and that both
parties be allowed. if they saw fit, to
marry again.
Mrs. Smith submitted to the court
that her husband was cruel and unmer-
ciful to her and the children. causing
them to fear him. his conduct being
that of the lowest type of being. The
jury after hearing the evidence,
reached a verdict without leaving their
seats. The names of the children are
Caro- Richard, Daisy and Willie Bird.
The husband did not contest the case,
but through his attorney, U. H. Nc
Laws, asked that he be allowed the
privilege of marrying again. The
plaintiff was represented by Shelby
Myrick.

BROKE TURPENTINE RECORD.
Quoted Firm at IS Cents and Likely
to Stay Up.

W HANS ps
After a steady rise in price for sew
eral days past, spirits of turpentine
yesterday reached the record mark for
at least fifteen years and, it is claimed,
the record price in the history of the
business during normal conditions. This
price is So cents a gallon. quoted at the
last call of the market. o'clock, and
at which price sixty barrels were re-
ported sold. The tone of the market
was firm. The receipts for the day
were 342, and the total sales 101, so at
So cents. and the remainder at vary
ing prices, between that price and the
one at which the market opened, 81
cents.
The lowest price at which spirits of
turpentine has ever been quoted In Sa-
Vannah so far as can be learned from
those interested in the business, is 221b
cents, a price that was brought about
by the failure of the Earrings Banking
House in England a number of years
ago. Savannah is never likely to see
even 30 cent turpentine again, said Mr..
j. p. Williams yesterday in discussing
the present condition of the market.
Continuing the discussion. he said
that he based his remark on a knowl-
edge of the conditions that brought
about the present price, and which are
the growing scarcity of timber, curtail-
ment of productions, higher box rent and
increased price of labor. So potent are
these conditionsy he said, that it is
likely that next summer even during
the hight of the season, average prices
Will be secured that will closely approx

there should be some unforeseen, and

WILL RETIRE FEB. 2.
Successor VIII Then BE Chosen to
Capt. George r. Walker.


A successor to Capt. George p.
Walker, whose intention to retire from
the captaincy of the Chatham Artil-
lery as announced in the Morning
News, will be chosen in a few days. a
committee having been appointed to
nominate candidate to be voted on
by the battery. The election will take
place on Monday, Feb. 2, the day set
for elections in the state service, at
which time Capt. Walker will be put
on the retired list.
Capt. Walkers resignation is in
duced by pressure of business. He has
served the command for forty years,
and told his men, in announcing his
intention of going on the retired list,
that he thought it as well, anyhow,
for him to step down and give some
of the younger men a chance.
He has been captain of the Chat
hams for over eight years, and is very
popular among his men, who have pre-
vailed upon him in vain not to retire
from the captaincy. Under his COM
mand the artillery has always made
a most creditable showing on all oc-
casions of public parades, and has
grown in strength, internally and
numerically. The men, while regret
ting to lose him as their commander,
feel that his retirement is well earn

coming Boards.

Now that the annual reports of an
the city officers are in the hands of
the Mayor, he is preparing for his
own message to Council. 1t will be
read on Monday, the 26th.
At noon of that day the present
board of aldermen will retire and the
new board will take the oath of Of
fee. The Mayor will review the pro-
gress of the city during 1902 and will
make such suggestions as he deems
wise and proper.
1t is probable that the Mayor will
have something to say on the subject
of compensation for aldermen and that
IT will be again suggested that some
thing be done towards securing a new
City Exchange. Both of these matters
are in Mr.. Myers mind and it is like
ly that both subjects will be touched.
AT this time the Mayor is not in a
position to say just what his message
will contain, but he cannot help com
plimenting the heads of the various
city departments for the splendid
showing made by them in their annual
reports to him.

the PInn.
At least two city offices that are now
filled by appointment are pretty apt
to be made elective before the first
meeting of the new board Of aldermen
on the 26th. An alderman stated yes
terday that an ordinance provid-
ing for the changes will proba-
bly, be introduced at the next meet
ing of Council Wednesday night.
The places it planned to have chang
ed from the appointive to the elective
column are those of the chief of the
stan of sanitary inspectors, now held
by Chris Melvin, and plumbing in
spector, held by Frank Campos 1t was
reported that other offices that are now
appointive might be made elective,
but that certainly the two named will
be put in the ordinance that will be in
troduced by some member of Council
There are some who are clamor!ng
to have the assistant chief of the ire
department and the assistant chief of
police as well as the half dozen or
more other offices now filled by ap-
pointment, included in the ordinance
that will mean the election of a chief
in the health officers department and
the plumbing inspector. These mat
tiers will be finally decided upon be-
fore the last regular meeting of the
old board on Wednesday.
The plan to put Superintendent of
Police owen Reilly on a pension of
$50 a month appears to have struck
a popular chord and it would seem
that this will be done. The friends
of the veteran police officer took"
to the scheme yesterday and it is be-
lieved that this will be the solution
of the police situation, which at one
time promised to be something of a
muddle. Friends of Supt. Reilly were
Al dHh " say yesterday lildl lney De-
lieved it would be a wise measure to
put him on the retired roll on one-third
of his present salary of $3.50 month.
Supt Reilly became member OF the
force Nov. l, 1875 and has risen from
the ranks to the position that he now
holds. He will not be a candidate for
reelection and it is pretty certain that
he will be retired when his successor
is named. There is no disposition on
the part of the leaders of the Citi-
zens Club to throw him on the
bricks" and the most popular plan
that has yet developed is the one to
pension him. This will be done by
means of an ordinace that would be
backed by Supt. Reilly's friends as
well as by the majority of the mem
bers of Council.

$4,000 Per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes it's value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses 1t half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your

and making money out of you is their
business.

MUST PAY $50 A MONTH
AS PERMANENT ALIM0NY.
Largest Award in Many Months
Made by Judge BARROW.

Made by Judge Barrow.
By a decree in the Superior Court
yesterday in the divorce case of Bessie
r. Cooney, against Patrick F. Cooney,
the husband was ordered to pay to his
wife SO per month alimony, permanent
ly. and to each Of his four minor chill
dren, s. per month, until they arrive at
their majorities. The custody of the
children was awarded the mother. and
the parties were allowed the privilege
of marrying again.
The names and ages of the children
are: William Spears, age II; Eliza
beth A, age 10; Richard A, age II, and
Maud, age 8. The amount of money
which the father will be required to
pay to the children alone, will be S2,-
040 while the amount which will be-
come due the wife, under ordinary con-
ditions. would amount to at least $4,000;
so that the amount decreed by the court
is. when it is summed up, about S.
600
This is the largest award of alimony
which has been made in the court for
some time. it being induced by the
aggravated circumstances surrounding
the application The petition was
heard before a jury. Mrs. Cooney
submitted 10 the court that her nus
band was habitua1ly intoxicated, and
has on occasions assaulted her. She
said that he contributed nothing to her
support, and made her married life
buTdensome.
The jury decided that the mother
should have the control of the chill
drep, free from the interference of the
father They removed the disabilities
of each, allowing them to marry again,
and restored to the wife the name
which she bore prior to her marriage,

FLORIDA TRUCK UNINJURED.
And Orange Trees But Slightly DAM
aged by Freeze.

Frank Cummings, of Palmetto, Dade
county, Florida, and one of the largest
truck farmers and orange growers
of that state, was in the city yester-
day on business. and stated that the
freeze of the last week. which ex-
tended as far south as Tampa, did
very little damage to the truck and
none whatever to the orange trees
in that section, though those further
north in the state have probably re-
ceiVed a slight setback, but that 1t
will practically amount to nothing.
Mr.. Cummings says that the truck
gardening of the Manatee river sec
ton of his state is now at it's height,
and that in a few weeks the shipping
of lettuce. celery, beans and toma-
toes will be at its best. These articles
are expressed to the Northern market
and bring fabulous prices, owing to
the absence of Northern grown pro-
duce at this season of the year.
