- THE AIKEX RECOKDER. Knterod at tho PoaUOflloe at Aiken. H. C-, an s<'«-oik1-class matter. Thk February term of Court •will be a very intereHting and important one, both in the Bessions Court and the Common Pleas. There will be three Bill Arp in Petticoats. Mr. Editor—Seems like presump tion fur me tu be ritin’ tu the press, but a feller does love tu see his name murder trials, viz., \ irgil Briggs, col., j j n p r i n t; an I shall never lie permitted TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1882. LOCAL, BREVITIES. Court meets on the sixth of Febru ary, and Judge Hudson will preside. Are the town authorities going to take any action on the recommenda tion of The State Board of Health ? Robinson’s “New Colossus Hump- ty Dumpty and Specialty Co.,” with four clowns will visit Aiken about the first week in March. Main Strect is in a very muddy condition when it rains. Several loads of sand in front of Turnbull’s would help matters wonderfully. Mr. David Moore is now in the employ of Mr. J. N. Wigfall, at his livery stables, where he will be pleased to see his friends and fill their orders with promptness. Mr. F. \V. Norris returned from Edgefield yesterday, where he had been on a professional visit. He no ticed that many were tearing down their field fences to build pastures for stock. On a recent visit to Augusta we noticed that our yong townsman, Mr. Charley Moore, has been appointed a member of the Augusta police force, a most efficient and neatly uniformed organization. The Supreme Court has granted a new trial In the case of H. B. Burck- halter vs. T. W. Coward. Messrs. Croft, Aldrich and Davis for Appel lant, and Henderson Bros, and O. C. Jordan for Respondent. The County Commissioners as well as the town authorities should take immediate steps to employ a public vaccinator, and a full supply of vac cine virus should be obtained from some reliable establishment. We call attention to the advertise ment of Mr. C. K. Henderson, in an other column. Everyone interested should go i?nd inspect his cotton seed and guano distributor. It is a splen did labor-saving machine. The oat crop near Hamburg is very fine. We were shown, on Thursday last, a lot of one and a half acres in J.he corporate limits of Hamburg, the goperty of Mr. Henry Get/.en, that ‘illy eighteen inches high. attention to the splendid [y for purchasing a desirable *r Aiken afforded by the of “Hampton Hill,” ,Mr. H.

McEwenof Aiken, of Columbia. We upon the next court Jarger than ever be- fAcixup+j-. JETrwwp body will embrace the opportunity to visit Aiken and see the new Court House. Besides that the docket con tains cases of unusual interest, both on the criminal and civil side of the Court. We are informed by the assistant Auditor, Mr. David Wise, that he is busily engaged filing away, in suit able packages, all the tax returns that have been made since Aiken County was established. They are so ar ranged that any desired information they contain can be obtained at a mo ments notice. We were much gratified by a flying visit on Saturday last from our friend, Mr. A. G. Howard, the popular sales man and travelling agent of the old and reliable house of Myers & Marcus, of Augusta, Ga., wholesale dealers in dry goods, shoes and notions. Mr. Howard has hosts of friends in our County, and he is always a welcome visitor to our sanctum. Mrs. L. J. Leckie, No. 625 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., advertises this week her beautiful stock of French millinery. The most lovely bonnets, hats, handkerchiefs, neck-wear and fancy goods are there to gladden the eyes of beauty and draw forth the greenbacks, to the distraction of hus bands and fathers. Be sure to give her a call if you wish to see really beautiful things. Seats placed in convenient locali ties about the streets would be a great convenience to the invalid guests of our town. In their walks and ram bles they are frequently overcome by fatigue, and if we wish our town to be popular as a health resort we must look to all these minor details, for it is the aggregate of small things that go to establish great convenience. The Countv officials are all snugly quartered in their new offices, and the people of Aiken County can congrat ulate themselves upon having one of the most convenient and handsome court-houses in the State. The best part of the business is that the County Commissioners have managed the fi nancial part of the business with so much good judgment and economy that the appropriation will cover every expense. Rev. Welcome Moseley, one of the good farmers of the “Levels,” called on us on Thursday last and stated that the oat crop was looking fine in his neighborhood, and every body was hard at work ploughing. He stated that he had just finished breaking up his entire farm of one hundred and twenty acres. Thorough for the killing of another negro Green for the killing of Henderson, and Parker for the poisoning of his wife—besides many other criminal offences of less gravity. On the civil docket are many very interesting and very important cases. It is hardly possible that all the civil cases can be tried, as the criminal business will occupy the whole of the first week. We are informed by Mr. Henry Getzen that Mr. Robert Butler, of Schultz Township, who resides near Hamburg, has recently lost twenty- five or thirty elegantly fattened hogs. There seems to be no certainty about the nature of the disease, but it ap- i>ears to be a kind of blindstaggers. Thev are still dying, although Mr. Butler is using every precaution and remedy that he can think of. He has about one hundred in fattening pens, and he is constantly moving them into new pens, so far without perceptible benefit in arresting the disease. Mr. C- B. Capers, the champion of the hardware trade in Aiken is still selling at his usual reasonable prices, and advertises in this issue a fuli line of all plows used in this section. His stock of shelf hardware is complete, and his opportunities for purchasing are unprecedented. Mr. Edward B. Cdrtis, well and favorably known throughout the County, is now in his employ as salesman, and will be glad to supply the wants of his friends at Capers’ rock bottom prices. If you want to save money, be sure to call on Capers. The County Commissioners have covered the Judge’s stand with a new Brussels carpet and provided a com fortable and handsome chair. The floor inside the Bar has been covered with new matting and the balance of the furniture consisting of new chairs and desks are expected to arrive be fore the opening of Court on the 6th inst. Two handsome stoves have been placed in position, and if their ability to throw out heat corresponds with their size the new Court House ought to be very comfortable even in the coldest weather. Mr. M. A. Stovall, treasurer of the Georgia Chemical Works, appears in this issue with a handsome adver tisement of his standard ammoniated guanos and acid phosphates. The Mastodon and Georgia Patapsco and Lowe’s Formula are so well known throughout the South that it is only necessary for us to say that the relia bility of this first-class company is a sufficient guarantee that they will be kept at their present high standard. We have used the Patapsco ourselves for two years, and regard it as one of the best fertilizers we ever used. For full particulars as to analysis and price, see advertisement elsewhere. The Minstrel Troupe of the Arm strong Brothers will exhibit at the Lyceum Hall to-night, and we advise everyone to go, as it will be a genuine treat. When they exhibited here a little over two months ago it was only their second exhibition. Their com pany has since been entirely remod eled, and a number of first-class artists been added to their roll. Our young townsman, Ed. Oakley, is one of the few of the original company whose services are still retained. The com pany is superior in every respect to wtuit it was then. Their exhibitions throughout the country have been very successful and have received the most complimentary endorsements of the press. Everybody should go, and mind don’t forget the children. A splendid brass band aeeopipanies the troupe. Read advertisement. Graft'd to read one ov those little paragraffs that are so flatterin’tu a man’s vanity, like this, fur instance: “Our esteemed friend. Hezekiah Smith, called at our office,” etc. Seein’ I’m not allowed tu come tu Aiken, yu will hav tu ex cuse me from sayin’ anything about the Court House or the big clock. Everybody complains tu yu when things go wrong with ’em, an’ I’m in trouble. I can’t reasonably expect to be here more’n fifty years longer, an’ I begin tu fear that I shall not live long enuff tu ascertain what disposal will be made ov Mister Gittow, an’ tu whichever department they may as- sine me in the next world, there is no system ov telegraphy between that place an’ this. I remember once be fore the President was murdered— don’t you? They dissected the mur derer and hung everybody else, an’ a woman besides, in less time than it took Mister Gittow to ’rite his biog- erfy. If them thare lawyers ov his conclude that I committed the mur der, I’m gwine tu hide in papa’s big swamp, an’ don’t yu let ’em tetch me. My feelin’s were"a little hurt because yu didn’t ’lectioneer fur me; but ef yu can’t do that, please don’t say nuthin’ agin me. Still it does me a powernv good tu see how yu “hash up” other Fellers, from the “Great Mogul ov Afriky” down to “soft shell crabs.” I’m not the only man who thinks yu the right man in the right place. Ain’t thare a special life insurance policy fur editurs, in case of bein’ bored tu death? If not, yu see Mister Hutson & Co. an’ hav’ ’em tu fix up one for the benefit ov yourself an’ the Journal and Review. Tell Jim and Milledge the fence law don’t worry me, my land bein’ out ov the Union. My fence was so crooked I begin tu think I would have tu bor- ry that “Equalizin’ Board” I used tu hear fellers cussin’ about, by whitcli tu straighten it up. Bein’ a candidate, I am afeard tu say much; but ef I in terpret aright tlie pervisions of that law, that yallar dorg (which has al ways been what the Frenchman would call my “beat noar”) will hev tu stay at home. Accordin’ to Nateral His tory, Webster, Worcester & Co., are not dorgs considered domestic ani mals? My letter is gittin’ too long. Youm tel deth, Hezekiah Smith. P. S.—Uncle John, “Old Whiskey John,”) sez,—bekaze he is mad about the stock law—that he intends tu pick out the meanest, blackest, ugliest nig ger he can find, an’ send him to the Legislature. Now can’t you harmon ize all that by persuadin’ ’em tu have me appointed Governor ov the State. Ef yu will I’ll promise when I reach the Gubernatorial Mansion tu hav the lands divided equally if notequitablj’. Yours, H. S. Delinquent Land Sale.

This famous play has been one of the greatest dramatic successes of the nineteenth century, and is at present playing to tremendous busi ness in Australia, England and Ger many. Tlie company this season is stronger than the previous season. The New York Herald says: Every seat and box at Haverly’s Theatre was filled last night, and if applause is proof of appreciation, “The Galley JSlave” is a successful play. It con tains materials and characters that should make any play succeed.” SALOON I!

A decree in fa vor of the Defendants was filed in the Clerk’s office on the 27th inst. Messrs. Glover & Abney and Jordan «fe Norris for the Plaintiffs and Henderson Bros, for the Defendants. President Hickman, of theGran- itevilie and Vaucluse Factories, has made arrangements to have all the op eratives in these large factories vacci nated. When will our Town Council and County Commissioners move in this important matter? A public vac cinator should at once he appointed. No time ought to be lost. Aiken is visited by people from all parts of the United States and there is no telling how soon this terrible scourge may be imported. Mr. J. D. Cummings, of New York, is at the Highland Park.

The ease with which it is operated, the certainty with which it puts out the seed direct from the gin without any skips, and all kinds of fertilizers, such as guano, cotton seed meal, cotton seed with acid phosphate, in any desired quantity (which the numerous letters below prove conclusively,) makes it such a machine that no farmer can afford to do without it. It is light draft and easy work for one horse to haul it, and the driver, from his seat, can see at a glance that both seed and fertilizer are being properly delivered. A common field hand can manage it at first sight. This Machine is strongly and thoroughly built, and with proper usage and care will last many years. In case of any breakage, duplicate parts can be furnished immediately. This Machine is now on exhibition at my store, and T would be pleased to have every planter in Aiken County examine it. It is, indeed, a labor-saving machine. Don’t fail to read what the following well known gentlemen have to say about it. Respectfully, €. K. HENDERSON, Agent, Aiken, 8. C. Dear Sir—After seeing your Cotton Planter and Fertilizer Distributor thoroughly tested, we do not hesitate to say that it is a complete success as a labor-saving machine, and we would like very much to see one in the hands of every planter in the State.

Dear Sir—We have seen the Cot ton planter and Guano Distributor (patented by you) in operation, and do unl>esitatinglv pronounce it a great ac a Mbor OT-BOVlUg ibkcJ rest inc. The thoroughness, ease and economy with M hieh it did the work of open ing the furrow, distributing the fertil izer, covering it, s«nving the cotton seed and covering it, in one operation, fully warrants us in testifying to its superior merits, and recommending its adoption by all cotton planters. It is by far the best machine for its pur- pose we have ever seen. It will do all you claim for it, and its Introduc tion will be attended with vast benefit* to the South. W. J. Pollard, T. D.
