SALES HAVE FALLEN OFF.
Possibly Due to Fact That Less
Whiskey Is Drunk In Hot Summer
Weather.

The accounts Of the North Augusta
dispensary for the past month were
gotten in shape yesterday. showing
the condition Of affairs to be in clear
jam-up shape.
The average sales for the past
month have been about 500 gallons
OF whiskey. which Is about rs per cent
less than the average sales during the
winter months. This decline is prob
ably due to the advent Of the hot
weather. and some say that the blind
tigers In Augusta have gotten better
able to cope with the local situation.
and are supplying the demand to
such an extent az to detract from the
-dispensary sales. AS usual. nobody
will stand for" this statement. al.
though any number are willing to
repeat it.-Aususta Chronicle.

Greenwood. July 1.-Greenwood

sad news was made known that Mr..

resident of Greenwood only two years.
he having moved here from Saluda,
he had many friends here, who were
deeply panied to hear Of the awful
tragedy. No possible reason can be
given for the deed other than the fact
that Mr.. May has been in very bad
health for some time. The tragedy
occurred this morning about $50
O'Clock at his residence on South
Main street, and the deed was js"e

New Provision of Law cuts the Ex.

Ment Business.

New Provision of Law cuts the Ex.
press Companies Out OF Govern.
ment Business.
The treasury officials have only re-
Gently discovered a highly interesting
fact in regard to the appropriations
for sundry civil expenses Of the gov
ernment which escaped general at
tention at the time the bill was en-
acted. It pertains to the shipment of
fractional silver coin from the several
sub-treasures Of the United States to
banks In various parts OF the country.
i 1t now appears that In the push at
, tending the passage Of the sundry
civil bill John Wesley Gaines, Of
Tennessee. caused to be inserted In
, the measure a provision that one-half
of the 100000 appropriation for the
transportation Of coin shall be expend
ed for registered mail. Heretofore
shipments Of currency have uniformly
been made by express and the express
companies have been oblige to make
good the lost by theft or other acci-
dent in transportation.
The express companies are up in
arms against the new order Of things.
especially'as Mr.. Dsskam., chief of the
bureau OF public moneys In the Treas.
ury Department, has ruled that the
law means that $4,000 should be ex.
pended by registered mail before any
part Of the appropriation is expend-
ed for express charges. It Is believed
at the Treasury Department that, a.
the charge for registering a package
is only eight cents $4,000 will be suf-
ficent to pay the entire cost of trans
portation coins under this system for
a year. and the express companies
will therefore lose the entire bus-
mess.
Objections Of several kinds have
been raised against the change In the
method Of transporting fractional
coin., Under the postal regulations
the weight Of packages. must be linn
tied to four pounds each. This regu-
lation will prove to be a decided in
convenience when 1t comes to ship
ping large amount OF coin from a
subtreasury to any particular bank.
Another objection is that the con-
signee can collect only to the extent
Of $25 in case Of loss by registered
mail. The express companies are
responsible for the full value OF the
packages they handle for the govern
ment, and they are bonded for that
purpose.
The new plan is also criticised be-
cause Of the fact that the mails may
be so increased in bulk or weight by
certain routes by the shipment Of sill
yer coins that the government will be
obliged to contract for additional
screen-wagon service in certain cities,
and the additional weight may in
crease the cost Of carrying the mails
on certain railroads. The later con-
tingency is hardly probable. but 1t is
one Of the possibilities Of the new or.
der Of things.
The postoface department will
probably not regard the new system
with any favor. for the packages Of
silver will be sent under frank, and
It was long ago demonstrated that the
franking privilege forms anything bat
an economy In many cases. and that
there would be no postal deficit IL II
were not for the great volume Of free
business.
