''il. IX RAMBLE Or STATE THINKS AIKEN 18 AN IDEAL PLACE-GIVES HIS OPINION ON IMMIGRATION. Walhalla, April 16.-Editora Keo wee Courier : In my last communi cation I left your readers at Grnuite ville. Before I left that place I vis ited the cemetery. It is situated on a high hill that overlooks the town, and was one of the best kept ceme teries I ever saw. All around it is two rows of shrubbery (cedars) planted far enough apart to allow the hearse to go between, with a vacant place to admit the bior at any square. In looking over the ceme tery I found the grave of a Mr. Giles, who lived in Graniteville, and vol unteered in the Spanish-American war, and died in Cuba. His epitaph told the tale. His grave was deco rated with Cuban moss and several other things that came ovor from the island. He was said to be a nice young man. As I stood and viewed bis grave the words came to my mind thac were uttered by Gen. Wade Hampton when|?he was mak ing a speech in Charleston. The war was just brewing. The general ?aid he did not know whether it was best or not ; that he was too old and could not learn war any more, but as far as he could see it he would not give tho life of ono good South Caro liniau for the whole of Cuba. I then said "Amen." And I am of the same opinion yet. It is an elephant on our hands, ti.at uever paid ex penses or a dividend. Leaving Graniteville, wc boarded a trolley car and were soon in Aiken, where there are two hotels-Aiken Hotel and Hotel Aiken. I stopped at tho latter, where I met my old friend, M. F. Mixou. Ho gave me a bit of information that I was not in possession of, and that was that the Oarey-Cothran bill would not hold water, and that Senator Tillman was to write a letter in a few days, giv ing his opinion of thc bill, which would knock it into smithereens. Aiken ?H now a growiug, thriving place and a winter resort, for North ern capitalists have come down there and built, as they call them, winter cottages, at a cost of from 1(15,000 to =$30,000. Some of these cottages are rented out for the season for half their cost. Hitchcock & Co. have a stable of fine blooded stook (racers) here, and have a track to train them on. I saw some of their fine stook being driven tn town, and the Northern ladies with their riding habits on riding them. They also have tennis courts and base ball grounds. At one time the town of Aiken was nearly dead, but it is certainly in a thriving condition now-fine churches and school buildings, elec tric lights-and tho finest artesian water I ever drank. The old and dilapidated houses and fences have all been torn down and new ones are being built. The shrubbery and flower yards aro tho prettiest I ever eaw. Aiken has negotiations under way, and the details of the scheme are about completed, for the ereotion, during this summer, of a large sani tarium near the town for the treat ment of pulmonary troubles, I think Aiken an ideal place for suoh an in stitution, being squated on a high, .dry ridge. There are a few immigrants around Aiken. As far as I could learn they are Swedes. Some people were pleased with them ; some were not. I would like to give my opinion on immigration : If they are a lazy, thriftless class, and don't know how to do any kind of work in this coun try, I don't want them. Wo have enough of that kind already. We want good ones or none. But I am deviating from what I intended to ?write, so will close this lotter, and .give balance of my ramble next week. w. vv. M.

Lunney, Sonoca. t An Insult to Congress. A great many people have won dered what influence was bringing I pressure to bear upon Congress to ohange postal rates, as was proposed ! at the last session. Possibly many : Congressmen themselves did not : know that back of this there is an organised scheme at work purely as a money-making venture. T.-is^ scheme is being worked on the basis of the payment from business houses in tbe way of subscriptions to a fund for the purpose of lobbying in behalf of an increase in postage rates on fourth-class matter, on the ground that if this should be brought about it would be possible to secure a oue- ! ceut lotter postage. Some years ago the writer had copies of circulars which were being issued for tho pur-j pose of securing agents who would quietly and vigorously canvass their communities for contributions of this kind, practically promising to the business men who joined the scheme that by doing so they would be en abled to have their letter postage re duced to one cent. We supposed that some suoh scheme was baok of the movement in Congress last ses sion, but could not get at the facts. We are advised of a oampaign which is being made by a man "who is so liciting and, we havo heard, n secur ing hundreds of signatures to a peti tion to be placed before Congress at the next session advocating the in crease of postage rates on second class mail matter to four cents or eight cents per pound and re duoing the rates on first-class mat ter to one oent per half ounce. This party is also collecting all toe money he oan from tbe signers of his peti tion, the alleged objeot of the collec sion being to or?ate a lobby in Wash ington to see that the measure is passed." A prominent business man in Chi cago who gives us this information states that be absolutely refused to entertain it for one moment, and the Manufacturers' Record would think that any other business man of ordi nary judgment would know that a lobbying scheme of this kind should be beneath the support of honest and honorable business men.-Manufac turers' Record.

[ Abbeville, Medium, Marob 28.] A boy asked us tbe other day if we had ever talked to a Yankee dat - ing the war, when a battle was not going on, and of course we told him that we had. Then we entertained the boy with a story or two w li ich may interest some other boys. After the battle of Frederioksburg, fought Deoember loth, 1862, A. P. Hill's division spent the winter be low the city near Moss Neok church and did pioket duty along the Rap pahannook river. The soldiers talked to eaoh other across the river. One day we remember distinctly Jacob Kurz, of Company B Orr's Rifles, who came to this country from Switz erland, wanted a cup of good ooffee and had no way to got it on our side He was posted on a bluff by the river side and made signals to the piokets on the other side and |they soon caught on to his gestioulliions. De scending the steep bank he took pos session of a little boat and rowed away across thc stream. He landed Bafely and spent sometime with the enemy engaged in pleasant conversa tion. One or two of the oavalry rode up and joined the crowd. They be longed to the Second Uuited States Cavalry and inquired particularly about Gen. Robert E. Lee. They had served under him in tho old army and expressed the^greatest admira tion for bim. Kurz exchanged a lot of good to bacco with the Yankees who gave him full value in coffee. He shook hands all around got into the boat and was soon in our line and not a hair of bis head harmed. At Chan cellorsville, May 3d, 18G3, he was shot through the right breast, but lived for many years in Abbeville, after tho war. In the winter * 1863-64 we were iu camp around Orange and did picket and patrol duty on the Rapt? dan. In thu Hpring it was a pleasure to get away from camp. When on picket we made our fires on the river bank and gathering a few wild onions and a mess of watercress and putting bacon enough with them to make an eye on tho water we generally had a good "night supper." When the weather got warmer we would go in swimming on our side and the Yan kees would do the same on theirs. By speaking loudly we could hear each other. One day a Yankee asked if we would let him return if he would swim over and we assured him that we would. So he swam across and was muoh ex hausted when he reached us. We threw a blanket over him, stirred up the fire, gave him a seat on the ground and he sat down with us and bad a chat. When he had remained a half hour or more we told him we would soon be relieved by North Carolinians and they might be nnder different orders and he had better return. He said the carrent was stronger than he ex peotod and he didn't believe he could make the trip unless he had a plank. We hnnted one np for bim and he was soon on his way and stepped out on the other side just as the North Carolinians came up. In oases of this kind a breaoh of good faith was never known in our part of the army or in the part of the enemy opposite to us. -- Thousands have pronounced Hollister's Rooky Mountain Tea the greatest healing power on earth.

They had evidently been quarrel ing before entering the Suttcr street car at the ferry. "I would thank you, Mr. Johnson, not to sit by mo !" she said icily. "Ob, Lucy* I'll never go with her again-never, never, dearie!" Gradually tho harsh tones melted to soft, endearing phrases. The car had become very crowded. It stopped at Van Ness. Tho conductor, wedging among passengers midway up tho isle, could not see the rear steps. With his hand an the bell cord, he suddenly yelled : "How is it back there now?" "It's all right; we've made up again," impulsively responded the yoong man. "Oh, Willard, he didn't mean us !" -San Francisco Chronicle. BMH ts?
