Governor Boll, of Vermont, has granted a ropriove in the caso of Mrs. Mary Bolle Rogers, who was sentenced to be hnnged at Windsor last Friday for the murder of hor husband., Marous Rogers, until June 2. The announcement oame as a surprise, as tho Govornor had issued M statemont which indicated that he bad decided not to grant the desired reprieve. That the poisoned powder sent from Boston to Mrs. Rogers, in Windsor State prison, did not enable her to cheat the gallows by suicide, was due solely to the honesty of one of the prison officers. This offioor reoeived a letter containing the powder, money and dlreotions for smuggling tho drug to Mrs. Rogers. He immediately turned all over to tno super intendent of the prison, who forwarded the poison to tho Boston post office in Sectors. Mrs. Rogers was sentenced to e hanged last Friday for the murder of her husband. CHICKAMAUGA MONUMENT. Governor Hayward's Report from the Com. mittee on Repairs.

Senator Earle in Defence of Schcmo to Launch a Staie Fertilizer Business. [August Kohn in News and Courier.] Senator Earle fears that there has been a misunderstanding relative to the bill to establish a fertilizer faotory for this State and be bas made the following statement: Tho reasons that prompted tho Senate committee to recommend the establish meut of a fertilizer factory by tho State are based upon facts and conditions that are facing the people of this State. Tho Stato "?B not justified in entering the viii ions ramifications of business as a matter of speculation, but only when it ?B necessary to dofond itBolf against a groat publio enemy. The Stato is ouly au aggregation of individuals and when individual lifo is threatened or endan gered it is tho business of tho Govern ment to interfere if it caD by practical means. There is no question about the State's having sufficient phosphatio de posits to furnish throe hundred thousaud tons a year to hor citizens, for many years to come. Tbore is plenty of 'convict labor to turn out this fertili zer at a considerable less cost than birod labor. Tho State already hav ing these important factors, is it good business judgment or states manship to stand and see the trust pilfer tbo citizens' pockets. The price of com mercial fertilizers has steadily advanced for tho past five years until now they are five dollars per ton higher without ono cont of increased value. These aro facts in tho mind of evory farmer in the State. Thoro were sold last year 420,000 tons of fertilizers in the State. You can readily see that tho advance io price cost tho peo ?le of the Stato, who are the State, ovor 2,000,000. There wore many inde pendent guano companies doiug a pros {ie. ons business in this State under the ormor prices, and tho only justification for the advances is the groat community interest?. This statement ?B not made to provoke controversy or in reply to adverse criti cism, but to give some of the bald facts that are staring us in tho faoe. The Stato is to-day using ita convict labor in tho manufacturo of hosiery in competition with tho commercial woVld. She is rais ing cotton and corn in competition with the best interests of her citizens. Then why not utilizo hor conviot labor in re pelling a publio enemy but little less devastating tban was Sherman's army.

TIIOBO who were bravo enough to venture out report tho concern as being on the bumb order, If DOt strictly i o. On tho 21st instant Charles Love is booked for our town. This is a strictly first-olass attraction and our citizens who "know a good thing when they seo it" will doubtless givo the spcakor a good house. That there is a orying uoed of a town ball is realized fully by our show-going people. . Work on the bank buildiug is greatly retarded by thc continued bad weather. Tho design is a most attractive one, thoroughly modern and would bo a eredit to a town much larger than Seneoa. It is said that the ball, including the en tire upper lloor ?paco, will be leased to a number of our young business men, who will rent it for the purpose of publio en tertainments. The location is admirable and with modern conveniences the hall will doubtless prove a paying concern to all parties interested. That Seneoa peo ple aro a liberal, public-spirited peo ple has been fully demonstrated by the manner in whiob they have patronized, the entertainments given at the school house, where there are no conveniences and the situation of whiob is so inac cessible. Lot our business mon be en couraged to take up the matter of leasing the now town hall. Mrs. M. E. Sligo nus sold her house on Walhalla street and will erect a hand some residence on the same street in tho spring. It is rumored that other resi dences will bo built in the near future. Among the now citizens who will soon cast their lot with our people ia the family of Dr. E. M. McCutcben. His residence on Town ville street is nearing completion. Tho dortor will practico m ed ic-iic and his i unable family will recoivo a cordial welcomo by our people, particularly our musical citizens, as it is understood that Mrs. Mc.Cutchon is an accomplished singer and violinist. On last Friday evening, notwithstand ing the very inolement weather, a fairly good audience witnessed the excellent entertainment given at tho Behool house. Tho program was arranged by Mrs. Hilt cs, the music teacher, and Miss Willie Cherry, teacher of expression in the school. It is greatly regretted that moro >f our citizens could not have soon this most excellent program as rendered by tho pupils of these departments. It has been suggested that tho affair be re peated, and it is hoped that these pains taking teachers will find it possible to ict upon tho suggestion. There will be services at the Presby terian church on next Sabbath. This is the off Sabbath, but it has boen arranged to have services regularly the first, sec cud and third. Sabbaths. As the other demon mat ions hold services also on the second Sabbath, the members of the Presbyterian church will bo compelled to depend upoo their own members for a oongregatioD and will therefore make un effort to fill tho pews as nearly as pos sible.
