t HARPERS AND ROSEMARY j ARE NO MORE.;i I \ TWO HUSTLING TOWNS MERGED UNDER1 NAME "ANDREWS ' IN HONOR OF DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN. Harbors,September lt>:?Our eoni- j nninity has been visited by refresh in:*rains in abundance which were a ;,rreat benefit to growing crops. Wei h; d hud no rair: until this time In! four week?. On last Friday Melton Joiiuson, i orjo of Moody's citizens, and L< U Flowers of Harpers got m a row and , .Johnson attempted to slash Flowers with his knife.breakitig the blade on * ? Fiowers'arm. Had the blade not broken, Flowers would have been badly cut. They were brothers-in-law and were friendly, but the writer is informed that whiskey* was the cause of the whole trouble. Later in the dav Johnson and Erviu Lambeth got in a drunken row and Johnson cut Lambeth in several places on his vback aud shoulders. I understand that several warrants will be sworn out against Johnson, who seems to Have become a aesperauo, I notice the price of cottou is becoming terribly depressed. The sta . pie was worth last Saturday only ll^c on our local market. Now, brother farmer, this is your own fault. The farmers in our neighborhood actually drive their team? in a trot with their heavy loads to get to the ginnery firat.so as to get their cotton on the market before their neighbors. Air W A Moore sold a bale of cotton recently on the Harpers market which netted him $80. Mr Moore is an energetic farmer and gives his undivided attention to his farm. This is what it takes to succeed on the farm. The people of Harpers and Rosemary assembled last Monday night, the 6th last, in mass meeting with over one hundred leading citizens present. The consolidation of the two towns was discussed aud finally the matter was submitted to a rising vote to consolidate the two towns into one. The vote resulted unanimously in favor of the consolidation. Then u vote was taken on the name ?' of the new town. The name ''Andrew" was voted ou and carried unanimously. This name is in honor of Supt Andrews, of the Georgetown & Western railroad. Mr Andrews was present and seemed deeply affected by the honor bestowed upon him. So much so that it was some minutes , before he could express his feelings of gratitude to the people. He ex i L : i c . ^ Y. : i l ? presseu nimseu as ueing ueepiy moved by this honor which had been | conferred upon hirii and declared it his inteutiou cf doing ail he could for the town of Andrews, and that he would do everything that lay in ' his power to make it one of the pret- ' tiest and most progressive towns in ' the eastern part of South Carolina. 1 An election will be held iu the town I on the questiou of surrendering the ' old charter and rechartering the towu ' T-. 'l with the new territory. Everybody in 1 both towns is now working to one * end, that is, for the welfare of our ' united town. There will be in the J future no Harpers and no Rosemary, 1 but the oue town of Andrews. If 1 haroiouy prevail and all of us work together, watch the town, of Ail- ; drews grew. We now have only ( about oue thousaud inhabitants, but within three years we should have five 1 thousand. May peace, harmony and unity 1 ever crown our efforts to make our J town one of love and prosperity. After a storm we may expect a grate- 1 ful calm.

Rutledge County Loses Out lolh in i Williamsburg and Clarendon Ccunties. j There- was general satisfaction here Saturday afternoon when telegrams were received by the editor of, The Record iiu>n Messrs LeIZoj and M L Smith announcing the result of the Uutledge county protest before the State boaid of canvassers iu Columbia. It will be remembered that on the t face of the returns the new county* ites lost out both in Clarendon and Williamsburg counties. In Clarendon the county board of cauvassers declared the result of the election to be against Rut ledge county and the new county attorneys, Messrs K II Welch and W L Hass, appealed to the State board of canvassers. In Williamsburg, albeit the new county was defeated by a substantial majority, the county board of canvassers?or two of them, at least? declared the election null and void on account of "irregularities and illegalities" an I added "that another election must be held." After hearing all the testimony Saturday the State board of canvassers, by a unanimous vote, sustained the Clarendon board of cauvassers and reversed the Williamsburg board, s<5 that Rutledge county lost out completely. Wo understand that the attorneys for the new county will appeal to the supreme court. Be that as it may, the feeling here is that Rutledge county is a dead issue for at least four years and Messrs Lee & Askins are receiving congratulations on every hand for their splendid management of the case. We happen to know that when Mr M L Smith?one of the brainiest lawyers of the State, who is especially well up in election contests, having recently conducted several cases before the supreme court?was called into this case he concurred entirely in the opinion of Messrs Lee & Askins and complimented them highly on the very able preliminary work they had already accomplished. With such counsel to look after their interests and the prestige of having won out before the State board of canvassers,the opponents of ' L tne new county can anoru iu rest easy as to the final outcome of the contest. The Clarendon end of the contest was capably looked after by J H Lesesne, Esq, as attorney for the opponents of Rutledge county. QUEER COMPLAINT FROM AIKEN. Prohibition Georgia Charged With flooding Counly With Liquor. Aiken, September 10:?The officers aud constables of this county have made a good deai of complaint, because, they allege, Aiken has been 1 made the dumping ground for Augusta liquor since the prohibition law went into effect on August 3. Several days ago the constables were busy watching the trolley cars out of Augusta, and it is estimated that in )ne day 500 quarts of liquor were A Ii/vnofn ^ n Ann An*? J UlUUgLll/ nuui auguota. v/u uuc tai there were 130 passengers, and nearly all of them carried the familiar looking packages. The constables succeeded in capturing 13 quarts of contraband goods. The fact is that the law is being rigidly enforced in this city and vicinity, and not much of an opportunity is presented the bliud tiger patrons for purchasing in this section, fhe constables have kept in behind them so closely that few violations have been renorted or heard of. Despite the fact that some liquor 3 bought trom other places, the prohibition law has seemingly created a sentiment in its favor in Aiken jounty. Drunkenness hue about goue >ut of style, only two or three c&es being reported since the law went nto effect. A Hurry lrp Call. Quick! Mr Druggist?Quick!?A box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve?

I l * town ana community ana a nusi oi sorrowing friends from; a distance came to pay the last sad tribute to the dead. So great was the throng that only a small fraction could gain admission to the church, leaving the yard and streets crowded. The lloral tributes were plenteous and most exquisite, and never was Trinity church nion beautifully decorated. Loving hands had draped in white the organ over which he had presided for forty years. The services were conducted by the Rev Royal Shannon house, his pastor, assisted by the Rev Ernest Cornish, of Charleston. The chancel was occupied by all of the ministers of the town. Touching tributes were paid to his memory by the Rev Royal Shanuonhouse and the Rev Ernest Cornish, Dr C I> Burts, of the Baptist church; the Rev L G Gillespie, of the Methodist church; the Rev K P Burgess, of the Presbyterian church; exGovernor Sheppard, the Hon E II Aull, of Newberry; the Hon B E Nicholson, Editor Mims, of the Advertiser, and S Simkins. Edgefield has done all she could to honor the memory of her best beloved son, and he sleeps today beneath a pyramid of flowers. CARNIVAL OF FIGHTS Id Aiken Alter a Drought of Forty Days WbeD Grogshop ReopensAiken, September 11:?'The first day after a liquor drought of forty days has witnessed a carnival of fights, rows, drunks and disorders. Many arrests have been made to-day and the police force has been kept busy, as well as several extras on the force. Besides drunken rows between negroes, several white men are involved in disorders. There have been considerably more drunks to-day than for the entire period in which the dispensary was closed. One of the largest crowds that has visited the city in some time was here to-day. though had it been announced that the dispensary would open, it would have doubtless been larger, as many were ignorant of its opening.

Hubert (r Ingersoll, the infidel, wrote the following letter to his friend, I)r Buckley, and received the appended reply: Dear Bucklev: I send you some of the most wonderful whiskey that ever drove the skeleton from the feast or painted the landscape in the brain of tnan. It is the mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will find the sunshine and ?hadow that chased each other over billowy fields, the breath of June, the carol of the lark, the dew of the night, the wealth of summer, and autupin's rich content all golden with imprisoned light. Drink it and you will hear the voice of men and maidens singing the hST*^ home, mingled with the laughter 0i children. Drink it and you feel within your blood the starred dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of perfect days. Your friend, . Robert G. My Dear Rob: I return to you some of the most wonderful whiskey that ever brought the skeleton iuto the closet, or painted scene9of lust an A blood-shed in the brain of man. It is the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed by the loss of their < natural bodies. In it you will find ! a transient sunshine traced by a I shadow as cold as an arctic mid- ! night, in which the breath of June i grows icy and the carol of the lark I gives place to the foreboding cry pf I the raven. Drink it and you shall l have "woe," ''sorrow," "babbling," i aud wounds without cause. i Your eyes shall behold straDge i women and your heart shall utter ! perverse things. Drink it deep and i you shall hear the voice of demons ! shrieking, women wailing and worse i than orphaned children mourning < the loss of a father who yet lives, i Drink it deep and long and serpents I will hiss in your ears, coil t.hem- i selves about your neck and seize you with their fangs.
