SIMZ^TIHIIE, manager. MRS. B. N. BUCKLEY 626 Broad St„ AUGUSTA, GA., ^WHOLESALE BOOKSELLER, STATIDHER & NEWSDEALER, The life of Roswell P. Flower was threatened by an infernal machine sent to him at the Windsor Hotel, in New York, a few days ago. The box which contained the machine is now in the nosession of Inspector Steers at police headquarters, together with the infernal machine and its median ical arrangements. A large number of detectives have been put ou the case and every effort is being made to suppress the fact, but it is known that a mysterious box was left at the Windsor Hotel, and that it contained a deadly machine and ^enough giant powder to have blown the Governor into eternity. The police officials are very reticent over the affair, but not- withstauding this it came out at po lice headquarters that Governor Flower's life had been threatened, and tiiat the infernal machine was in Chief Inspector Steers’s possession Governor Flower has been stopping at the Windsor Hotel since he came to the city to straighten out matters re lative to the cholera cases aboard the steamship lu the hay, and the trouble that had arisen between the quaran tine officials and the Islip board of health. The Governor has had his cholera headquarters at the Windsor. The infernal machine was left at the hotel on Thursday afternoou. It came by mail. It was received at the hot el office and sent to Gpveruor Flower’s room by the clerk. Gover nor Flower had gone away in the morning to inspect the oyster beds alo ng the sound. C heif Inspector Steers sent for the reporters at police headquarters and told them the box sent to Governor Flower was a veritable, unmistakable infernal machine, ingeniously con trived to kill the Governor or who ever might open it. The Inspector added that the box was received on Wednesday night and before it was opened there was received an annouy- mous letter warning the Governor of its character. Adjt Gen. Porter sent to police headquarters and the detectives went to the Windsor Hotel, where the box was given them. The detectives brought it down to police headquarters and delivered it to the in spector, who put it in a pail of wa ter and left it there to soak for twen ty-five minutes In the box w’as found three-quarters of a pouud of giant powder. A lever was conuect- Q< * -tr-*.S the rnvpf'of the box i+nd ur r >arlor matches fastened to cm? icv— would be rubbed against a piece of emory paper on the side of the box and ignited, thus causing the -explo sion of powder. The inspector said if the box had been opened as intended the explosion would certainly have followed. Twenty detectives are working on the case. In speaking of the mattei, Gover nor Flower said: “This is the first time anything of the sort has hap pened to me. I am not at all upset, however. I suppos I have made some enemies by calling out the militia, but I must do my duty and the peace must be kept. Ali the in fernal machines in the world would not make the slightest difference to me.

For the last quarter of a century, everything has tended to ward congestion of population, and from these figures it will be seen that the congestion of wealth is three times as great as that of life. For a decade the public mind has largely been de voted to town-building. Now it should be devoted to country building. Every device known to civilization has been brought to bear on the cities, while tlie country districts have jog ged on in the same old rut. It is time now to renovate the rural dis tricts with scientific agriculture, vil lage farming, and rural mail de livery.” The Jewish Year.

The following extract is from the Augusta Chronicle of last Tuesday, the first issue of that paper printed on the new press: The press is the very latest improv ed, and is, perhaps, the most wonder ful piece of modern machanism. Wheels, tapes, levers, rollers and plates are combined in a manner which, to the casual observer, seems interminable and hopeless complica tion, but every piece is in its proper place, and works together with the harmony and ease of the prover bial clock. When the type is set up and placed, column by column, in the form, they are lockep up and carried down by means of an elevator, to the press room. Here impressions of the forms are taken in papier mashe, and iuto these impressions is poured inoulte n metal. This leaves a plate semicir cular in shape, on the outside of which appears exact reproductions of the typeforms, except that it is in oue solid plate. After being passed from oue ma chine to another until the plate is trimmed to a nicety, it is placed on the cyliudar of the press; another is placed beside it until they number four. Four others are placed on an other cylinder aud there are the eight pages of The Chronicle. This is warm work. It looks more like a type foundry or work shop of Vulcan than a printing office. The furnace is glowing and the engine is puffing and steaming, Men are pass ing to and fro attending to their var ious duties aud altogether it is a busy scene. V/hen everything is in readiness the press is started and like a thing of life, with the wings of the wind and a roar as of a thousand spindles, the great machine begins its hurcu- lean work. A continuous roll of paper, which has previously been dampened by machinery, is fed automatically into the press and at the other end come out the papers, printed aud folded fresh and clean, laden with the latest news from all over the world. The Jewish New Yeir, the first of the fall holidays, begin ou Wednes day, September 21st, at sunset. This was oue of two days tkat are strictly observed by every Isnelite, no mat ter where he be.

A particular servicton the New Year is the blowing of tb ram’s horn in cpmmemmoration c Abraham’s wil lingness to sacrificehis son. Saturday, Octobe 1st, will be the Day of Atonement the most sacred in the Jewish cahidar. Religious services will be h<d the preceding evening and all da Saturday.

State TreasurerBates returned to Columbia on tin loth, aud as the Stale treasury hi been somewhat depleted in fund recently, he was asked about the nancial condition of the State. He said that ahough it was true that the treasur. funds had been pretty low once, .wing to the neces sity for paying oi a great many ap propriations, sabies, etc., at the same time he wa happy to say that the condition ol things had been greatly improved i the last month. The treasury hi quite a hard time the first year of tl Tillman adminis tration, but gotthrough all right without the ueceity of borrowing, and he felt sure tat the term would end without Janyuch necessity ari sing. It’s not very pleaat to cough and hack, To suffer pain in cbt and back, Many people coufctop it, for sure Bv simply using Oi Minute Cough Cuce. W. J. Platt. The Augusta Chronicle of the 17th says: The receipts of cotton for the past week show considerable falling off as compared with the same week of last year. Manchester buyers have discarded short receipts for Septem ber, believing that the deficiency will finally be met; but there is little ques tion but what there will be an ad vance in the price of cotton if this shortage in the crops continues until along in October. Any unnatural causes which may have been holding receipts down will, by that time, have exhausted themselves aud the true condition ©f the crop will be known. Cotton is at present about 1 cent lower than it was at this time last year, but a reaction is bound to take place in case the receipts continue short. Contrary to the general tendency, the receipts at Augusta for the past week have been much larger than for the same week last year, and the stock on hand is smaller. The latter fact is on account of the large quan tity of cotton brought over last year. The demand for cotton in this mar ket continues good, and the weather has been very favorable to the open ing and harvesting. The staple con tinues very fine aqd is grading up very well. Cotton will suffer no depression on account of the cholera scare, it is thought, other than will necessarily result from the general depression of all business interests. The Third Party Candidate for Senate. The The Third party is going to make an effort to gain some ground in South Carolina after all, and there is noiv no doubt that leader J. W. Bowden statement at the very begining that they intended to put out a full ticket of electors was correct. Mr. Bowden has returned from the North where he has been for the last fortnight and he seems to be consider ably cheered by the prospects of the movement. He went North for other purposes as well, but while there he had talk ed with prominant Third partyites and had visited the Weaver head quartos inJNew York. /■ lie s^d, Carolin^B^lM^^^^' 1 stating t^iat That d interva in Geor ; in North He will speak lent point, eithei’ rens, or perhaps The Clcmi^ There has been s the proposition to ni newly acquired Morrf it for completing the biTT? collsge, but the Board of Trustee? Pendleton decided that such action would be unwise or unlawful, and de cided to make every effort to com plete the college through the nguiar channels at as early u date as posible. Secretary of State Tindal has return ed to Columbia, aud announces that the board decided that they would not be justified in taking such action. Outside this decision no important business was transacted The board deteimined to preserve the Morrill fund aud employ it to run the college after it is completed. As yet it is not known when they will be able to complete it, but. Iliey will use every endeavor to open it as soon as posible. RJiosphate Royalty for August. The State treasury has received the money for the phosphate royalty due the State for the month of August by the various phosphate companies do ing business in the State. It makes a somewhat better showing than for the month of July. Each dollar of royalty it will be remembered repre sented one ton of fertilizer. Here are the figures: F. W. Wagener & Co., $198.48; Coo- saw Mining Co., $5,916.85; Oak Point Mining Co., $1,166.49; Beaufort Phos phate Co., $10,203.90; Farmer’s Mi ning Co., $8,806.78; Carolina Mining Co., $6,752.50; Sea Island Chemical Co., $6,899.09. This makes a pretty good showing, and indicates that the phosphate in dustry iu South Carolina is picking up again. The Prohibition Strength. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gcv’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE The Cigarette Evil. Considering what very poor things cigarettes are, it is surprising that they have got such a hold on the com munity. But, bad as they are, they are extremely fascinating. The use of them carried to excess becomes a habit that is most difficult to break, while they are so cheap aud so conve nient that it takes exceptional dis cretion to smoke them at all without smokiug them to deleterious extent. Of course it is primarily because they are so cheap that they appeal gener ally to boys; hut even with boys, who ought not to be allowed to smoke at all, it is not so much the tobacco in the cigarette that does the mischief as the pestilent and insinuating prac tice of inhaling the smoke. An or dinary boy of v holesome appetite won’t smoke cigars or pipe tobacco enough to do him serious damage, even if he can get them. Nor would Secretary Foster received an agree- the cigarettes he might smoke be so ment signed by the steamship com The White Star Company has com missioned tlie great Belfast shipbuild ers, Hart & Eswolfe, to build an At lantic steamer that will beat the rec ord in size and speed.

It is calcu lated that she will steam twenty-two knots lan hour, with a maximum speed of 27 knots. She will have three screws, two fitted like the Ma jestic’s and a third in the centre. She is to be ready for sea in March, 1894. The expenditures for pensions for tlie fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, as now officially stated, amounted to $134,583,052,79. In the fiscal j’ear ending J Line 80,1891, we paid $124,415,- 951,40, while in the year before that we paid $109,357,534. In the last ten years our pension payments have amounted to $776,282,100,07.
