Triumnhs of 1902.

Seldom if ever in any one year of the
history of the world have so many i'm
portant 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. r.
II. Prince Henry of Prussia at the
White House. Edward the VII. was
crowned King of England and Emperor
of India, the German Emperor had his
Americana yacht, Meteor" chris
tened; France had the unwilling of the
Rochambeau Statue, and at all func-
tions attending these celebrated Moet
& Chandon's Champagne was used ex-
clusively. This indeed is an unpara-
lleled record. which is proof positive
of the superiority and popularity of
the renowned branch of Moet & Chan

&1OO.NO Per bottle.

This seems 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 a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes it's value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
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
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or Substitute-ad

superintendent on $50 a Month.
Superintendent of Police Owen Reilly
may be retired on one-third of his sal
airy of $3.50 month. This matter was
discussed yesterday in political circles.
1t has been known for weeks that
when the city officers are elected on
the 26th, Superintendent Reilly will be
displaced, probably by Mr.. Charles Gar
funkel. 1t has also been generally I'M
derstood that Mounted Sergeant Wal
ter Fleming will be made second in
command of the force.
There appears to be no disposition
to put Superintendent Reilly ION the
bricks" to use the political vernacular,
and the plan to pension him is now
being talked about. There were no
other developments in political circles
yesterday and no new candidates came
TO light.

PECAN TREE SWINDLER
IN STATE ASYLUM
VIII L. :. Courts Demand Lucian An
ders from TeIfair County Authorities

VIII L. :. Courts Demand Lucfan An
ders from TeIfair County Authorities
A case that is of decided interest, es-
pecially in Savannah and this vicin-
ity, is that of j. Lucian Anders, who
is under indictment in the United
States Court, on the charge of using
the mails to defraud, his particular
crime being the advertising of pecan
nurseries and warehouses, and offer
ing to furnish fine pecan trees, when
as a matter of fact, he had none and,
when he did fill orders, according to
the testimony of witnesses, sent out
wild pecan trees which he secured in
the swamps.
The renewed interest int the case
arises from a rather peculiar turn that
1t has taken, as was discovered by As
sistant United States Attorney William
X. Leaken upon his return to Savan-
nah last Saturday. to be pre- sent at the
unexpected term Of the United States
Court, held Monday. 1t was then that
Mr.. Leaken learned of a decision rem
dered by the ordinary of Telfair coun-
ty, Dec. g. which may or may not af-
feet the nature of the indictment
against Anders.
The new turn in the case is the de-
cision by the ordinary of Telfair coun-
ty that Anders is insane. This decis-
ion has resulted in Anders being taken
to the asylum at Milledgeville, where
he is at present an inmate.
When Anders was given a hearing
before Commissioner Ryals, he was
placed in jail where he remained four
or five months before he was able to
secure bail. He was finally released
on a $500 bond, of which the surety
was Mr. A. c. McLennon of Alamo.
The case was assigned for the Novem-
Der term of the United States Court
but at that time neither Anders nor his
surety appeared.
1t is an interesting question now
Mr.. Leaken says, as to what course
the court will take, the Indictment
not having been answered and the
bond being in default. The question
is whether the verdict of insanity will
prevent the United States proceeding
with the indictment, and demanding
Anders from his sureties on March IL,
or whether the court will be satisfied
to drop the case now. that the state
has taken charge of the man.
The question will come before Judge
Emory Speer at the next term which
will begin March IL. Mr.. Leaken will
represent the united states, While
Travis & Edwards will appear for Mr..
McLennon. Whatever the decision
may be indictments will be placed in
the hands of the superintendent of the
asylum, the sheriff of the county and
the marshal of the district, so that in
the event that Anders RECEIVERS his
sanity, if not before that time, the
government will proceed against him
on the charge of the indictment.

WILL OPEN VERDICT TO-DAY.

Much Speculation as to the Finding
of Jury in Dawson Damage Case.
The jury in the case of Thomas Daw-
son, against the Savannah Electric
Company reached a verdict yesterday
afternoon, which will be opened when
the City Court convenes this morning
Under instructions from the court the
verdict was sealed and left in charge
of the clerk.
The case has been on trial for two
days, and there is a diversity of opin-
ion among those who have heard the
evidence whether the plaintiff is en-
titled to any recovery, and the verdict
is being awaited with interest. Dawson
was injured by a car at the corner of
Barnard and Congress streets a short
while ago. His injuries are of a seri-
Gus nature, and it is probable that the
verdict will be for nothing, or for a
neat sum. there being no room for a
compromise verdict. He is suing for
So 1903.
The plaintiff is represented by r. R.
Richards, and the defendant by Os-
borne & Lawrence.

COTTON EXCHANGE TO ACT.
Listing of stock Apt to he Brought
to Official Attention Soon.


1t seems probable that early action
may be taken to bring the matter of
listing local securities to the official at
tention of the Cotton Exchange.
Supt. ]. P Merrihew was asked for
his opinion yesterday as to the feast
bility of providing such service on the
exchange. He said it is his desire to
do everything possible to make the serv-
ice on the exchange valuable to ali it's
members, and to promote it's interests
in every way possible. If it is the de-
sire of a considerable element to have
stocks listed and quoted. Mr.. Merri-
hew has no doubt plans already sug-
gested could be carried out satisfac-
torfly. OF course. the issues it is pro-
posed to list are such as are being daily
dealt in locally, and passing through
the banks or otherwise being handled
here. Mr.. Merrihew had seen the in
terviews favoring listing stocks, but he
stated the matter had not yet been
brought up in an official way.

FEW MAKING RETURNS.
Tax Assessors VIII Impose Penalty
on DefnuIters.

on DefnuIters.
Unless they hurry there will be a
large number of people who will be
double-taxed for failing to make re-
turns for personal property before the
Board of Tax Assessors.
Tuesday is the last day upon which
the assessors will receive returns, and
Monday will be a legal holiday. Thus
far only about $500 persons have re-
turned for personal property and there
are probably that many more to be
heard from vet.
This means that the tax assessors
will either be rushed to-day and to-
morrow or that there will be great
many persons WHO will have to pay a
double tax. The decision of the Board
of Tax Assessors in this matter is
final and there is no such thing as an
appeal to Council. For some reason
persons have been backward in maxi
ing their returns and the delinquents
are given due notice what will happen
to them unless they appear at the
City Exchange and swear to what
they own by Tuesday.
