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.

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.

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.

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. ’WANTS ENDOWMENT FUND FOR EMORY COLLEGE ATLANTA, Oa.—A number of rep resentative men met Friday morning 1 in room 304 of the Candler building, | pledged their support to the move-' ment to increase the endowment fund lOf Emofy college to $500,000, and agreed that within the next few days ian active canvass of Atlanta will be \ begun.
