Augusta. Gilt-Edge Securities.

The Augusta Chronicle says: Augusta
securities have long ranked as gilt-edged
in the commercial world, but the sale at
par wednesday of $4,000 of her thirty
year bonds. bearing only 3h per cent.
breaks the record, and places her ahead
OF all southern municipalities
1.-The floating of Augustus bonds at Sh
per cent. Is not a matter of chance. 1t is
the natural result Of an unbroken record
of absolute fidelity to every obligation.
Through her long and honorable history
as a municipality she has never repu-
dated an obligation nor scaled a debt
Even her war issues that were repudiated
generally by municipalities after the war
were met to the last cent by Augusta
lust as scrupulously as any obligation
She ever assumed. The commercial world
has come to recognize a bond of the city
OF Augusta as perfectly safe. and hence
ii is that an issue OF bonds foated in 1853
at per cent. can be refunded I'm 1898 at
3is. City Of Augusta securities are gilt
edged"

unanimous In ordering the issuance OF

The long-expcctcd executive order re-
moving deputy collectors OF internal
revenue and assistant district attorneys

The probabilities are that the recommen-
dation will be adopted. Several members
of the faculty OF the college were at the
Capitol yesterday, and more VIII be there
to-day. doubtless, giving the reasons why
the property OF the institution should not
be sold.
The Joint conference to be held In the
hall of the House tonight for the pur-
pose Of discussing retrenchnent measures
will doubtless consider the report at
length. 1t is not understood that the con-
ference is a caucus. so its action can
bind none of those present. 1t was pro-
posed last night to make the report
subject of caucus action and secure
enough signatures to a petition for eau
Gus to induce Chairman Cooke to call
one for tonight to take the place OF the
simple conference or mass-meeting.
If the two houses should caucus upon
the report, it can be safely predicted that
the hall of the House of Delegates
though It has been the scene OF fights
historic for their heat, will have wit
messed none hotter than that over this
report and the subject of retrenchment
generally.

Death of DR.. VandergriG:

DR.. John B. Vandergriff, an old
and well known physician died in the
city of New Orleans on Nov. 4, aged
~ years. He had practlced shortly
after the war in Vermilion and Iberia
parishes, and one of his daughters,
Mrs. Norbert Leblanc, now resides
on bayou Tigre. The Chief speaking
of his death says. cdr. Vandergriff
was sent to Donaldsonville by the
Howard Association during the yell
low fever epidemic of 1873 and met
with such success that he was en-
couraged to locate in the town and
remained here five years. In 1879
he was elected coroner of the parish
and served until 1884, when he re-
moved to New Orleans, remaining in
that city until his death. He was
kind hearted man, good physician,
an exemplary citizen, husband and
father, and all who knew him have
learned of his demise with much
regret. "-Abbeville Meridlonal.
