Sir. In written decision rendered

the plaindtf Is an African, As years
OF age: the defendant is Portuguese,
IS years of age. The defendant had
been previously married and had three
children, boys: the plaintiff married
her about one week after he became
acquainted with her. The evidence
fails to show that he had any money
or property whatever at the time he
was married. although he was 3S years

ing woman. who had In hand at the
time OF her marriage, according to
plaintiff, about s54. She also had
amounts due her from her former hus

more. She had her household goods.
Still later she received from her faith

PETROGRAD ADMITS
RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN
FORCED TO RETREAT
OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION SAYS
THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN
ACROSS DUNAJEc.
VICTORIOUS over The TURKS
Three Days Battle in Persia Has
Been Won by the Russians Is the
Report That Has Been Issued by
Petrograd Authorities.

PETROGRAD, May 5.-An official
communication issued this evening
admits that the Austro- German forces
have crossed to the right bank of
the Dunajec river in Galicia. 1t says,
however, that desperate fighting con-
tinues.
LONDON, May 5.-The Russians
have had at least a partial revenge for
their defeat in western Galicia by
badly beating the Turks who had in
vaded Persia.
The Turkish defeat took place in a
three days battle near the frontier
and Petrograd reports that the Rus
slams inflicted heavy losses. If tie
success has been followed up, military
observers declare that Persian now
should be free of their unlimited
guests.
This battle, however, was a small
affair compared with what Germany
and Austria claim to have done to
the Russians in Galicia. Their re-
ports state that some 10000 Russians
were captured and that many guns
were taken. There was no mention,
however, of any towns, such as Cor
lice or Tarnow, which were close to
the front, being captured, which leads
British military critics to the conclu-
sion that while the Germanic allies
have won important local successes,
they have not driven the Russians
far back. Should they do this, how
ever, it is asserted that a general re-
treat of the Russians would be i'm
perative and that the whole Carpa-
THAN offensive, on which the Musco-
vites have spent SO much time and so
many lives, would be nullified.
The Russian side of the story is
anxiously awaited, for a big success
in the east, it is believed here, would
mean an immediate commencement
of operations on large scale in the
west, for which the Germans alraedy
are preparing.
In Belgium thus far the fighting has
been confined the Ypres region,
where the Germans claim to have cap
tured some villages which the Brit.
ish say they evacuated in the process
of readjusting their line.

wednesdays Daily.)

With an able and eloquent sermon
by DR.. T. S. Russell, rector of St.
Luke's church, of Cleveland, and the
administration of the sacrament of
the Lords Supper, the ninety-third
annual session of the convention of
the Episcopal diocese of Tennessee
convened at st. Peters church for a
two days meetings.
Devotional exercises commenced at
II o'clock and the business session
did not begin until an hour and half
later. While the ministers marched
into the chancel the choir rendered
| the inspiring words of "Ancients of
Days" The devotional exercises
were conducted by Rt. Rev. Thomas
F. Gailor, D. D., assisted by DR.. Mer-
Ger P. Logan, of st. Annes church,
Nashville, and DIR. R. M. w. Black,
rector of st. Peters church. Holy
communion was administered.
The opening sermon by DR.. Rus
sell was an eloquent, scholarly and
spiritual discourse upon the life of
the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The preacher traced his life here
upon earth and discoursed upon his
relations to man, drawing many
splendid lessons from the ministry
and service of the Master The SER
mon showed great research, deep
thought and earnest piety.
One of the delightful features of
the session was the singing Of Miss
Grace Milan, who rendered a beau
tiful selection as an offertory
There are about three score min
listers and laymen in attendance at
the convention today and it is doubt
full if for the number there has ever
convened in this city body of finer
individuals They are an intellectual,
educated, earnest and consecrated
body of men, having heart and soul
in the Lords work. They are being
entertained in the homes of the peo-
pie here who are delighted at the op-
portunity which has been afforded
them to be the hosts OF such exem-
plary men.

The local lodge of Elks received
this morning from an unknown per

GOV. RYE VETOES
LONG TIP BILL
CHIEF EXECUTIVE DlSAPPROVES
OF MEASURE INTRODUCED
BY MAURY COUNTlAN.

Hon. W. H. Longs bill to put an
end to the tipping system in the
state has received a setback from
Gov. Rye. The bill was returned on
Tuesday afternoon with the veto of
the chief executive, who gave the
following reasons for his disapproval
of the measure:
This act. strictly construed, would
make it unlawful for hotels, restau-
rants, barber shops, etc., to increase
prices and charges now made on ac-
count of the passage of this act. For
the mere fact there is no legal or
moral obligation resting upon any
person to indulge or encourage the
act of giving tips. | am cognizant of
the fact that the person who does not
enter into and encourage this kind of
luxury sometimes suffers for the ne
cessities of life, for the time being
at least, nevertheless, to prohibit by
penal statute the giving of tips would
seriously affect certain class of our
citizens, who need the tip more than
the man who gives it. l am therefore
returning senate bill No 495 without
my approval.
TOM C. RYE, Governor
1t remains to be seen whether Mr..
Long will attempt to have the bill
passed over the veto of the governor.

ping OF the Limbs.

The apple crop this year will not
be more than twenty-five to thirty
per cent of the normal CROP" said R.
A. Wilkes, of Culleoka, Monday. Mr..
Wilkes is a practical horticulturist
and his remarks are always heard
with interest.
Just as it seemed that we were
going to have one of the heaviest
fruit years in many seasons, the
blight came and ruined good part Of
the apple crop. The trees have with
cred, the fruit has shriveled up, and
do not think that more than fourth
of it will be saved.
THE cherry and pear crops are
also very materially injured. The
blight has struck them, too, and there
is going to be far from the normal
amount this year.
Il am glad to say, however, that
the peach crop is very heavy and has
suffered nc injury to date. In fact,
some of the trees have too much
fruit upon them, some of which
should be knocked off to keep the
limbs from breaking.

fruit men here today and they con-
