TO ORGANIZE SECOND DIVI-
SION NAVAL RESERVES.

Lieuts. Colding and Gignilliat have
received permission from the adjutant
general to organize a Second Division
of Naval Reserves at Savannah. Num-
bers of the old naval reserve men
have signfied their intention of Join
ing the division. Lieut. Colding is be-
ing run by the Savannah Naval Re-
serves for the position of commander
of the Georgia battalion.
The officers under consideration for
the Second Division are popular bust
ness men. 1t is expected that the in
spector general will muster the diyis-
ion into the service at the time of his
visit here for the sham battle, Mon
day, Feb. %.
The enlistments for the division
were commenced last night. Others
desiring to join are invited to be on
hand next Wednesday night at $3.50 d.
m. at the Naval Reserves Armory, No.
lis Bay street, east. Lieut.. Colding is
back with the Naval Reserves to stay
in one capacity or another.
From the standing and strength of
the men, considering the acceptance of
commissions in the new division, il
is confidently expected that the Ma
val Reserves will soon exceed it's old
time strength of 100 men. Steps are
also being taken to organize the old
Naval Reserve drum corps.
1t was the talk last night at the
Naval Reserves Armory that If the
citizens viii ask the REPRESENTATIVES in
Washington to move in the matter.
they could get all or part of Admiral
Dewey's fleet. to stop here on its way
North.

Judge Joseph w. Sneed and Hon
Walter S. Roberts, of Knoxville. Tenn.
are guests at the De Soto, having come
here pleasure seeking and for recrea-
ton. Judge Sneed presides over the
Court for the district of Knox county
which is probably the most important
judicial position in Tennessee below
the Supreme Court, for his jurisdiction
is large and the present court is the
consolidation of several which were
formerly presided over by separate
judges.
Mr.. Roberts is particularly pleased
with Savannah, which he regards as
among the prettiest cities in the South.
HIS visits have taken him into many
parts of the city, and he is delighted
with the surroundings. Both Judge
Sneed and Mr.. Roberts have made
many friends during their short stay.
While the Legislature of Tennessee in
the act consolidating the courts of
Knox county has placed Judge Sneed
in office for at least eight years cir
cumstances may call him elsewhere for
he has long been recognized as avail
able timber for the Supreme bench OF
Tennessee on which his father sat with
dignity and distinction for many years.

$4,000 Per Bottle.

This seems pretty big price to pay
for a 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 IL for Sc
cents a bottle.

BAD ON ORANGE TREES.
February Cold Much Feared by
Florida Growers.

The next two weeks will be the
critical period for the Florida orange
trees" said Mr.. e. p. Bryan of East
Palatka, Fla, yesterday, in conversa-
ton with a Morning News reporter,
land if the first of March arrives
with no damage having been done the
growers will breathe much easier
than they are now.
ut is matter of record that every
time the orange trees of Florida have
suffered from cold it has been in the
month of February, and the growers
have begun to look on this month as
a jonah in their business. 1t is in
this month that weather out of the
ordinary can be expected and the con-
dition of the growth in the trees is
such that a freeze now would do
greater harm than at any other time
in the winter, consequently February
is the most feared by the growers.
1T is universally known that cold
air is heavier than warm air" con-
tinued Mr.. Bryan, and not only set
ties in depression, but settles into
partly enclosed space as WELL where
free movement of air currents is pre-
vented. 1t follows that tail dead veg
citation left on the trees is dangerous
in that it holds the cold air and adds
to the danger, of the trees being dam
AIMED in case of a freeze. Instances
can be cited and comparisons drawn
from groves side by side that have
shown different effects from a freeze
the more open grove faring decidedly
the best in results. The question of
clearing the trees of dead and unnec-
essary growth is being agitated by
the agricultural papers of the state,
and l think the advise good and
profitable to heed"
Mr.. Bryan is en- route to New York
to meet his wife and daughter, who are
returning from England, their native
home. He is largely interested in
orange groves of Florida, besides 9TH
er realty holdings.
