Teg; ji want ad. campaign, If
persistent enough, will find a
job for you—perhaps In one
day, perhaps in ten days; BUT
even in "dull times" there is
work to be had by the deter
mined seeker.
VOLUME XIII., No. 246.
Fll(t : HUNDRED
MEN ARE
INTER
There is a great need for workers
in Augusta still and everybody want
ing work can secure it. The Cham
ber of Commerce announces today,
that places for «00 men are open for
Monday morning and applicants will
be directed to where they can secure
employment.
The idea of there being nothing to
do in Augusta is ridiculous, and the
advancement which will be made
within a month after the flood will
be a great revelation, say those who
are closely connected with the work
which is under way.
There will be no cessation of clean
ing up and repairing and the city
will present a splendid appearance as
soon as it is completed. According
to authorities on the matter Auguaia
now presents an appearance that com
pares favorably with the leading cit
ies of the country and when the
streets are cleared everything will be
in fine shape.
Those who desire work should ap
ply as early as possible to the Cham
ber of Commerce, over the Western
Union offices near the Monument.

GEORGE WILLIAMS
BURIED AT SEA
T'.'V ORLEANS, La.—l.'ing a* the
bottom ol the Gulf of Mexico off the
eastern coast of Cuba the body of
George R. Williams, 70 years old, a
millionaire, of Sacramento. Cat., gives
mute testimony of the aged man’s
desperate but vain effort to once more
see his valuable gold mine, the Pro
vidence, on the west coast of Cosia
Rica.
Williams, in the Irsi stages of con
sumption, sailed from New Orleans
August 21, aboard tfte Corlnto, des
pite the .advice of his trained nurs*,
Mrs. B. C. McNair. He had to be
oonveyed from the Grunewald Hotel
i the vessel in an ambulance. Wil
liams insisted he was getting better,
but every one on the vessel divined
the approach of death, which took
place the night of August 24.
Mrs McNair, who returned to this
port on the same ship, said that Mr.
Williams’ one desire was to again
fondle the precious ore of his mine.
The funeral was conducted aboard
Cormto by the master, Captcn
Gustav Gundersen, and at dawn the
body, welded and wrapped In the
Union Jack, was dropped overboard.

EMPRRESS JOSEPHINE’S
CARRIAGE DRIVEN
Surprised Everbody To Sec
The Ancient Carriage On
The Street.
PARIS. —After resting for manv
long years in the museum at Versail
les, the state carriage in which the
Empress Josephine drove to MalmaU
en alter her divorce has just made
its appearance once more to the as
tonished gaze of the public In the
Bois de Versalles as the ancient 'ca
resse” was being transferred to the
museum at Maimaison. Known as
the "Opeile’’ the carriage retains
much of its old time splendor, being
still magnificently enameled in Royal
and gold, but the springs creaked hor
ribly and the pair of cab-horses
drawing It from the one museum to
the other got over the ground pain
fully and laboriously. The last oc
casion on which the opale was used
was during the reign of Napoleon 111
on the occasion of the baptism of the
Prince Imperial.
PARIS LIFE SAVING
DOGS A FAILURE
PARIS.—The attempts by the Paris
river police to employ dogs as as
sistants in saving persons from
drowning has proved a failure. Most
of the animals are dead, others have
been dismissed as unfit for the ser
vice. The only survivor, Paris, :i
splendid Newfoundland dog, may le
ssen lazily licking his paws In the
sunlit spots of the guays it was in
1900 that the first two dogs wero
brought to aid the river police, t
few months later five more- were add
ed and eventually the number reach
ed 14. In spile of a long and dif
ficult training, the results, however,
were meagre. One of the river po
lire agents told me yesterday that the
failure was due in a great measure
to the steepness of the gnaywalls.
"Dogs" he said, "are more Intelligent
than man. They will only throw
themseWrs Into the water from places
which they can readily reascend, be
tides they are not always Inclined to
get wet at all." As a matter of
fact the dogs can only be credited
with the saving of one life. Diana

AUGUSTA. GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1908.
SENATOR ♦Weee
ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE
GOVERNOR WILL
VETO HOLDER BILL
ATLANTA, Oa.—After hearing that
the senate had passed the Wise bill |
providing for a tax on near-beer, thus !
insuring a certain income. Governor :
Smith made a statement this morn- j
ing that no bill providing for the |
leasing of convicts would receive his
sanction, and he would veto any I
measure that permitted or authorlz- j
cd 11. This statement seals the doom
of the Holder bill in its original or
present form and unless there should
be an almost Impossible reversal of
opinion in the senate no such bill
can be carried over the governor’s
veto.
THE ENGLISH TROOPS
IN INDIA GET ROWDY
LONDON.—Private dispatches from
India indicate that a very serious
state of affairs prevails in one of the
crack cavalry regiments there. A na
tive was found dying outside the
quarters of this regiment the other
j day under circumstances Indicating !
that he had been violently assaulted
by some of the soldiers. The civilian
authorities took the matter up with
the result that strong suspicion fell
’ upon two troopers in the regiment.
When, however, an attempt was made
! to arrest them and identify them with
the crime they were stoutly defended
by their comrades who threatened
open violence to anyone who at
j tempted to make the arrest. They
' refused to parade when formally coni
-1 manded to do so by their conmiand
! ing officer and the usual business of
saddle cutting and harness destruc
j tion followed.
In th e end *he men had to be over
I awed by threats of summoning the
native infantry from the neighboring
barracks to disarm them unless they
j behaved themselves. Strangely
enough, however, the authorities have
now withdrawn the demand for the ar
rest of the two troopers and are seek
ing another theory in connection with
| the crime.
