The annual meeting and election for
officers and directors of the Ocean

day afternoon. The election resulted in
the choice of the former board. The Of
ficers are:
PRESIDENT. F. Hanson.
Vice President and General Man

Another matter of interest was the
OCNlSlOii VI lilC OOdlu lOl dliOlhCA IL a.
fic contract with the Central of Geor-
gia Railway, which provides for a
division of the terminals here, so that
in the future the Central will oper-
ate its own terminals. This means
that there may be a shift in the pres
ert force. some of the men now en-
ployed by one company being trans
ferred to the other.
The board also decided to name the
new ship, now building at the Della
ware Shipbuilding Company's yards,
the City of Macon. The vessel will be
launched sometime next month, but as
yet none of the details of the funC-
ton that will take place on that oc-
casion have been arranged. Because
of the vessels name, however, it is
more than probable that she will be
christened by some young lady of Ma
con.
The company, recently, owned ship
of the same name the new one will
bear but she was sold to the Merchants
and is now used by that company I'M
der the name of Lexington. The new
ship, as has already been stated in
the Morning News, is practically a
sister ship of the City of Memphis
though she has a larger passenger ac-
commodation.
The directors at the meeting were
Messrs. ]. F. Hanson, w. H. Peasants,
A. r. Lawton, John M. Egan, Edward
Karow and Malcolm Maclean.

NO ELEPHANTIASIS
IN SAVANNAH.
Savannah Physicians Say 1T is Al
most Unheard of Here.

Savannah Physicians Say 1T is AL
most Unheard of Here.
A New York physician has been
warning people to look out for mos
quitoes spreading elephantiasis and
in the course of his talk said that Sa-
vannah has had endemic chyluria
uiliariasis elephantiaca) for several
years.
His warning to New Workers grew
out of a case of elephantiasis in Belle
Vue Hospital, a young man who had
been victim of the disease for fifteen
years. The disease itself resembles
leprosy. In fact lepers were at one
time called elephantiacs in Latin
America.
DR.. j. T. Charlton and DIR. NJ. F..
Dunn, who were shown the statement
in reference to the disease in Savan-
nah, both denied the truth of it, DR..
Charlton said that he had known of
but one case here and DIR. Dunn said
that he had never known of any cases.
Other physicians said they had never
known of a case here though the dis
ease prevails in some of the West In
ola Islands. 1t is also becoming quite
prevalent in some of the Northern
states,

THE STRAWBERRY SEASON IN
Florida Fruit Plentiful and viii
Move in Two Weeks.


Move in Two Weeks.
c. H. Roberts, of Lewtey, Fla, was
in the city yesterday en- route to Bal
timore and other Northern cities for
the purpose of making arrangements
with the produce dealers to handle the
of the state
Mr.. Roberts represents a number of
growers producing in the neighborhood
of 500 acres of berries and is commits
stoned to market them to the best
advantage. He says the fruit are the
best grown in several years and the
production the greatest. The fruit will
be plentiful in about two weeks when
the shipping will begin and last for
several weeks.
He expects the berries will bring
splendid prices and will remain in
the North to see that all fruit consigned
is properly disposed of and the ship
pers not swindled out of large profits
as has been their past experience. The
berries will be Grated and then Ship
ped in refrigerator cars going through
as express. He has no estimate of
the number of cars of berries that will
go out of Florida as there are several
other sections of the state that will
have as large shipments as his locality.
Mr.. Roberts says that the growing of
Strawberries is very profitable espec-
tally when they are gotten on the
market early. This season they are
fully two or three weeks ahead of the
usual previous marketing and on that
account, he thinks the prices will be
satisfactory to all concerned excepting
the retail purchaser. The extremely
warm winter is the cause of their
early ripening.

WILL BEGIN WORK OCT. |.
National Bank of Savannah VIII
start Building Then.


Mayor Myers, president of the Ma
tional Bank of Savannah said yester-
day that the work of clearing away a
site for the new National Bank build
ing to be erected at the northwest cor
ner of Bull and Broughton streets, will
begin Immediately after Oct. 1.
I'VE are only waiting for the leases
of the tenants of the building now on
the site to expire" he said. Ito begin
work. We would begin now would
they give up their leases"
A rumor Mas been current for the last
few days to the effect that the bank
authorities had offered new five-year
leases to the present tenants at a %
per cent. increase in rents. Mayor My
ers' statement was a denial of that
rumor. The rumor seems to be a twist
ed statement of the fact that the ten
ants recently offered the bank a % per
cent. increase in rents for a new five
year lease. The offer was a verbal
one, and the bank gave no definite an
swer, which led the tenants to believe
that the matter was under considera-
ton.

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR THIS COUPLE.

rested and in Jail.
All because VIM. B. Gass, a middle
aged white man, assaulted Charles
H. Walls, colored me n, he is a pris-
oner in the county Jail on the charges
of assault and battery and living in
improper relations with a colored
woman. The woman is also prisoner
in the Jail on the latter charge, and is
entered on the commitment book as
Hannah GaSs.
Walls, who made the warrants,
stated that he had diff
Guilty with Gass and was assaulted
that he has known the man and wom-
an for several years. Angered at be-
ing assaulted he decided to give them
all the trouble possible. The warrants
were sworn out before Justice Nathans
and were served at the home of the
couple on Bryan street, near Farm, by
Constable Beckett. Being unable to
give a bond of 5000 each, they were re-
manded to Jail.
Gass admitted to Justice Nathans
that he lived with the woman, and
that she is his wife; that they had
been married thirty-five years and
have children. lie says they were la-
gally married in Beaufort, S. c., and
have lived in Savannah several years.
Under the laws of Georgia no such
marriage can be recognized and it is
more than probable that they will be
handled severely when they are called
to face trial

NO SPECIAL OBSERVANCE
Will Mark Celebration of Georgia
Day in Savannah Schools.

Will Mark Celebration of Georgia
Day in Savannah Schools.
Thursday will be Georgia Day in the
schools, that is in such schools as
elect to observe it, for though planned
in honor of the memory of Oglethorpe,
the founder of the state, it's observance
is by no means general. This refers to
any special programme in the schools
in celebration of the day for the ma
jorty of them, like those of Savannah,
will note it's Importance mainly
through having the teachers impress
upon the pupils the significance of the
date.
Supt Otis Ashmore stated yesterday
that this custom of impressing upon
pupils the significance of any occasion
has been in use in Savannah's schools
for a long time and that it includes not
only days of special Importance in the
history of Georgia but of history gem
orally.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction w. b. Merritt has announced
his intention of suggesting the advis-
ability of combining Georgia Day and
Arbor Day and to hold the celebration
of them on Feb. II.

COL. Cam AS JUDGE
HUNDRED THAT COUNTY ATTOR-
NEY SEEKS ERMINE OF
CITY COURT OF SAVANNAH.
TACITLY ADMITTED HIS CANDI-
DACY TO THE MORNING NEWS.

amy Member of the Bar wouId be
Glad to Get Such an Appointment"
He Said When Asked About the
Matter - Understood That Judge
Norwood VIII stand for Reap
pOintment-NOmina to be Made
mt Summer Session of Legislature.
Col. Cam stands Close to the Gov
ernOr.
1t is the talk that Col.
George T. Cam is candi-
date for appointment as judge of the
City Court of Savannah, to succeed
term expires Jan. l. 1t has been
rumored for some time that Col. Cam
had an ambition to fill the place now
occupied by Judge Norwood.
Col. Cam was asked about the mat
ter, but was not inclined to talk.
rs there any truth in the statement
that you are a candidate for the judge
ship" he was asked.
TacitIy Admitted II.
well" he answered, II think that
to get such an appointment. 1t is one
which would be considered an honor by
any man."
Further than this Col. Cam would
say nothing. He would neither admit
nor deny that he is making an effort
to have the Governor appoint him. The
appointment will be made by Gov. Ter
rell, and is for four years, Judge Nor
wood having been reappointed in 1900.
1t is understood that Judge Norwood
will be a candidate to succeed him
self.
The appointment will be made
next summer, during the ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is not at
all improbable that there will be other
candidates, as the Office, one for which
few are fitted to hold, is one to which
any man might aspire.
Close to the Governor.
1t is thought that should Col. Cam
make the race he will receive the In
dorsement of many members of the
bar. Aside from this fact it is known
that he is very close to the Governor,
as is also his brother, Maj. ]. Ferris
Cam, at present a representative in
the Legislature from Chatham county.
Owing to his prominence in military
affairs Col. Cam has been thrown
with the Governor a good deal of late,
and it is known that Gov. Terrell has a
high respect for him both as a mill
tary man and as a lawyer.
Il believe Col. Cam intends to make
the race" said a prominent attorney.
He would surely be a formidable can
didate for the place. both on account of
his ability as a lawyer and because
of the influences which he has at his
command. He would have a foeman
worthy of his steel in Judge Norwood,
in the event he stood for reappoint-
ment, and it is to be supposed of
course, that he will. Judge Norwood
is an excellent judge, and his recog-
nized ability and the faithful per-
Torrance of his trust make him, at all
times, strong opponent"

ROSA TUTTY SENT
BACK TO JAIL.
nOrant of Whereabouts of Her
Bonds.

Court Not Convinced That She Is Ig-
nOrant of Whereabouts of Her
Bonds.
The habeas corpus proceeding insti-
tuted by Rosa Tutty to obtain her re-
lease from the county Jail. where she
is held under bail trover proceedings,
which were instituted against her in
the Superior Court some time ago for
the recovery of certain railroad bonds
by her husband, Charles Tutty, was
heard yesterday morning in the Supe-
rior Court, and Judge Barrow, after
hearing all the evidence, ordered that
the woman be remanded to Jail to
await the determination of the case
at the next term of court.
The case has attracted interest both
on account of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the loss of the
bonds, and because of the fact that
Rosa Tutty is a colOred woman, where
as her husband Charles Tutty, is a
white man, having been married in
the District of Columbia in 1878. This
fact was brought out in the evidence,
as was also the fact that Tutty fol-
lowed her to Washington, when she
was mere girl of Is, importuning her
10 marry MN. she promised so to DO
at the conclusion of the course in
nursing, which she was then taking
and it was finally agreed that he should
marry her, allow her to complete her
course. and that they should then move
back to Georgia.
Tutty was not present at the trial
The whole case hinged upon the ability
of the applicant for release to prove
the fact that she had no knowledge of
the whereabouts of the bonds, and that
she had parted with their possession
in manner for which she could not
be held responsible. These facts she
did not establish to the satisfaction
of Judge Barrow, and he ordered that
she be taken back to Jail. 1t is prob
able that she will there remain until
the case is called for trial, which will
be about six months.
The Tutty woman told of her acct
dent near Burroughs, of her trip to the
Waycross hospital, her subsequent es-
cape and of other things, all of which
have appeared in the Morning News,
saying that she left the bonds under
her pillow at the hospital. Mr.. D. H.
Clarke testified that when she was re-
quested a few days ago to give the
bonds up she answered that she knew
where they were, but would not give
them himself. Another witness testi-
fled to the same fact. During the trial
the court took occasion to remark that
any white man who married a negro
deserved to lose everything he had.

$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, il
is a very cheap price for a bottle OF
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it 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 50
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnsons Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute ad.

MAYOR WAS ABSENT
And Reform Movement at Thunder

Contrary to expectations no action
was taken last night at Thunderbolt.
either in mass meeting or in Council,
relative to the Sunday reform move
ment.
The movement already having re-
solved into a proposed ordinance for in
PRODUCTION in Council, prescribing for
the good order, discipline and closing
on Sundays of the saloons. Casino and
other places Of pleasure that make
Thunderbolt a Sunday resort, no mass
meeting was held.
The ordinance was to have been pre-
scented for its reading and first action
last night, but unexpectedly Mayor
Calder. who is also president of the
Council, was called down the river on
business that prevented his attendance.
This left Alderman w. W. Aimar. act
ing mayor, in the chair, and as it is said
he will introduce the ordinance it was
not taken up. action being deferred I'M
til the next meeting on Feb. II.
The sudden absence of Mayor Calder
was much discussed, in connection with
his dissemination to discuss the ordi-
nance or have anything to do with eth
err its adoption or rejection. Mr.. Aimar,
also not wishing to preside in the dis
cussiOn of such a matter, promptly an
nOunced that the ordinance would not
be introduced. but would be carried
over to the next meeting when it is to
be hoped Mayor Calder will be present.
A number of citizens both for and
against the ordinance gathered about
the hall previous to the assembling OF
Council, but when they learned the
ordinance would not be introduced they
dispersed and went home. The general
sentiment was that the new bill will
loose out and that the conditions that
have prevailed for the last two years
will continue.
The Council was in session but few
minutes and transacted no business of
any Importance. The Smelling of streets
was discussed and also the disposition
of Wesley oak tree, which has been IN
contention, but in neither matter was
action taken, the disposition of the al
dermen being to defer all matters until
Mayor Calder is present.
