We learn from a reliable source that Mr. John Dunbar, who plants in the vicinity of Kllenton, hud picked, ginned and shipped 10 bales of cotton up to^Wednesdav last. We call this quick work.

The moral and in tellectual and social qualifications of the incunilicnts, and their antecedent : training, should all be considered in , ; determining the emoluments of each j office. The salaries should be graded, ljust as the offices are graded.

Were it other wise, the puidic offices would ail sink to the same dead level of incompe tency and inefficiency. The salaries should not only be commensurate with the dignity, im- j portance and requirements of the j several offices, but they should eom- I pete, as much as may Impossible, with j the agricultural, the mercantile, the mechanical and professional pursuits of life, so that they may induce fitly qualified men to accept them.

Henderson left Aiken last Friday to escort his sister, Miss Charlotte "Henderson, hack to Wal- terboro’, after a two weeks stay in Aiken, where she has I men enjoying our genial climate and the society of some ot her relations and friends. The Hon. G. W. Croft left last Wednesday morning to bring his wife ami children back to Aiken from Greenville, where they have been spending the summer. They will drive through the country, over the ordinary wagon road, and will no doubt greatly enjoy the trip. Col. D. C. Allen, the general pas- ■ senger agent of the South Carolina Railway, gives notice of the revival of the old passenger route to Columbia via the South Carolina Railway. You can leave Augusta at 4:20 p. in. and arrive at Columbia at 10.(to the same •evening. The fare is the same as by any other route. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Holley, of Aiken County, who died on the ISth inst., in the eightieth year of her age. She leaves a large family of children and grand-children, who till their places worthily in life, ami her death will be regrettisl by a numerous circle of friends. Mr. S. S. Buffitto* has been appoint ed chairman of the board for Aiken County to examine applicants for beneficiary cadetships in the South Carolina Military Academy. In view of Mr. I.affltte’s proficiency as a mathematician qnd a thorough-going educator, the appointment is admi rable. We regret to learn that Mr. Wiley Woodward, an industrious and highly respected farmer, living near Mont- morenei, died on the iKtii inst., after a short illness. He leaves a large family to mourn his loss. Four of his sons voted in the lute election, all in telligent and reliable men. <)uV s '>i- cerc sympathies are tendem^uhe family." f A mass meeting of the eiti/ons Bhaw’s Fork is calbnl to meet at Mr. Ijttwson Gunter’s Milt on Saturday,, the 26th inst.. at 10 o’clock a. m., to take into consideration the existing Stock law, and to devise some means for the relief of the farmers of that section. The puhlie, both white colored, are requested to attend. business that is profitable for an office that will not yield at least an equal profit. These three considerations—a pro longation of the terms of our public offices, a habit of re-electing the in cumbents who have served the people satisfactorily so long as they shall de sire a re-election, and a fair compen sation for their services—constitute the most potent arguments that can be presented to induce most men, who arc competent, to seek office. Doubtless there are men in plenty who would gladly accept the Gover norship of tiie State for one thousand dollars a year, or the Presidency of the United States for the sum of five thousand dollars a year. But what wqpld be the result, if these offices were entrusted to such persons? Political and social anarchy would reign supreme and “old chaos come again.” So would it be, in a less de gree, with all the minor offices, if they were filled by cheap and incom petent men; there would beconfusion and loss. A few words on the right of voting, and I will close. What I shall indite is no doubt trite and commonplace in the view of all intelligent and thoughtful men; Yieverthelcss, I deem it important to reiterate that which has been so often said and written, for I am of the opinion tiiat many men of the present day entertain very erroneous notions and gross miscon ceptions on the subject, if one may judge by the way in which they use their ballots at our elections. I can not, however, include all I have to write in this number without occupy ing too much space, and I will reserve it for my next and last. * PUBI.IUS. go t oc co zn cc C: * -l O IO — CA — IQ • •— tc 4k CO 13 13 CO CO 30 oo ^ ^ n — rc 3* c o — H.

C. EdDioadstoD ami Tiie Rev. Manning Brown will preach at the Metliodist Church on Hunday next, at S o’clock, a. m. Mr. Brown is the Presiding Elder of the Orangeburg Circuit, and is much re- s|»eoted for ills ability and faithful Christian work. He was once a Con federate Colonel, and the same ardor which he then displayed in defence of his country he now brings to bear in support of the burners of the Cross. Everybody knows Uncle John Gar vin to "be a careful and painstaking farmer who hospitably entertains his friends upon ail suitable occasions, and who knows well how to take care of the main chance. Last week he drove through Aiken witli four bales of old cotton, which he sold in the gross at Granlteville at about $240, and still has about six hundred pounds more at home, besides a fair cron of new cotton coming on, and a rousing crop of provisions in the field. Who can beat this? A Handsome Compliment. We republish with much pleasure the following handsome compliment paid by a correspondent of the Edge- field A deer Hi not, writing from Colum bia, to one of Aiken’s most deserving, indomitable and devoted teachers: “Of our own teachers, none have won more distinction than our neigh bor, W. N. Marchant, of Graniteville. Being naturally of a combative dispo sition, it is difficult for Mr. M. to hold an audience long, but almost invaria- >ly when he finds an attentive listener, argument. Many f the most abstruse questions that have arisen at the Institute have been satisfactorily answered by Prof. Mar- chant.” Aiken is proud of the Granite ville public school and of its efficient and thorouogh-going teacher. —, — 5505 1515—*05 —* 05 4» 05 05 — OH 55 X 50 50 4— X On —- -1 05 X o; X 4- -1 — 4- 4. -I 50 04 X 50 4- 10 04 WiIIihbi Foley. 13 CC SC O ^ C7* -.r tc o ** O ^ x r: C5 13 13 o* ElUr dge liuuier. —• 13 X *-• -l 13 — X *-3 X -1 r: •3 CO 13 3; w i |3 t—4 CC 13 13 ■ C -1 CO CO Murk Maddux. x co • co co o • i—» 0-1 • Ci x ■ x c: co x co Ref A.

We are glad to see that C<»1. Samuel J. C. Dunlap, of Chester, the father of our worthy young fellow-citizen, J. Zed Dunlap, has been nominated for the legislature. Col. Dunlap paid Aiken a visit last winter, with a view to locating, but we regret to say failed to make up bis mind. lie was the gallant Colonel of the Forty- Sixth Georgia Infantry during the war, and was six times wounded. He is an accomplished gentleman and never has been a politician, and we sincerely hope he will be elected, as he doubtless will, because he is a man of sound common sense and most gentlemanly bearing. Long live the old veterans. An Order For Nearly Half a Million • Yards of Graniteville Goods from San Francisco. [Attfft/afa Evening Ncwh.] The Graniteville Manufacturing Company, or rather the Vaucluse de partment of this great system of fac tories, has just received an order from Ban Francisco, California, for 300,000 yards of goods, and for 150,000 of tiie Vaucluse printed bags. President Hickman says it will take even busy Vaucluse several weeks to get these orders off. lie* lias now at bis office in Augusta samples of the bugs to be sent to the distant Pacific coast, and people after examining them cease to wonder why a demand comes across the continent for these goods. Tiie Graniteville knows what it is to have a reputation, and this order from ’Frisco, although a large one, is still not surprising, as Mr. Hickman sells his goods all over the world. In deed this factory is one of the best known in the South, and tiie demand for iis product is constantly heavier than tiie supply. The Griiniteville lias the largest number of spindles, per capital stock, than any other mill in tiie Soutli, and its thirty per cent, income is likely to be increased \^itli Soul Ii Carolina College. Among our educational notices will be found the advertisement of the South Carolina College, which opens on the 3rd of Oct., 1K82. We call especial attention to this adver tisement, because we believe it meets all the requirements necessary for a liberal and practical education. Its cheapness is somching wonderful, anti that doubtless will go a great way in commending it to our people, who favorable season The mill has not stopped running a day this summer, both by reason of line rains ami also from the presence of the great engine, which stands ready to supply any deficiency in the water supply. This engine, recently added to tiie Company’s splendid property, is now finished, and the fac tory is ready for any kind of a drouth. The mill, for want of just such a motor, was compelled to shut down ten or twelve days last summer, at a consequent loss to the Company of over $25,000. The benefit of the great engine may thus be seen at a glance, and the wisdom of its erection is blessed not only by stockholders but by operatives. New machinery is being added to theold Graniteville mill, and not only heavy income, dividends and surplus funds may be expected, but a contin uation sind extension of orders for hundreds of thousands of yardsof the well known goods of the Graniteville The Transit of Venus.—The re cent session of Congress appropriated $75,000 for the expenses of American observers of the transit of Venus, which takes place on tiie morning of December 6. There will be three American stations in the northern hemisphere, located in Florida, Texas and Mexico, and four in the southern hemisphere. Two of the latter will be on opposite sides of the South American Continent, in Patagonia and Chile, one in South Africa and the fourth in New Zealand. The transit will he visible in every part of the United States east of the 100th meridian, and a number of European parties will occupy stations in this country. The special object of the observations is to determine the solar parallax and by this to arrive at the mean distance between the earth and sun. The transits of Venus take place at regularly recurring intervals of 105 i-2 and S years and 121 1-2 and 8 years. The last preceding pair of trusits were on June 5, 1761, and June 3, 1760. The first of the current pair was on De cember 9, 1874, and the next will be December 6, of this year. The result of the observations of the transits of a century ago gave the distance be tween the earth and sun as 95,370,000 miles, but there was a lack of agree ment between the French, English and American astronomers in 1876, the result ranging from 92,393,000 to 92,321,1)00 miles. It will take two or three years to complete and compare the calculations based on the observa tions of next December, which are expected to settle the differences be tween the savants of the several coun tries—and then we shall have peace.— New* and.

The controversy was between two women, each of whom claimed to be the widow of Gus Wash ington and entitled to dower in his estate. One named Edie had been married to him in 1847, when both were slaves of the same master. The ceremony was perfomed by a colored minister with the consent of the mas ter. The two lived together as hus band and wife till the Fall of 1866. At that time the husband, being then of course a freedman, took out a li cense and married another woman, with whom he lived till his death. Under these eircumstanees the Court was called upon to decide which of the two had been the lawful wife. It has decided in favor of the one claim ing bv virture of the slave marriage. It lioids that slaves were not compe tent to enter into a valid marriage contract or hold tiie legal relation of | husband and wife. But in September, I 1865, the Constitutional Convention j of Alabama declared that all freed- men and freedwomen then living to gether and recognizing one another as husband and wife should bold that re lation under the law. The Supreme Court decides that this was a ratifica tion of the marital relations then ex isting between Gus and Edie Wash ington, and that bis subsequent mar riage with the other claimant was void. - ■ — MISCHIEF MAKERS. Oil! could there in the world he found Some little spot of happy ground, Where village pleasures might go round, Without the village tattling! How doubly blest that place would be, Where all might dwell in liberty, Free from the bitter misery’ Of gossip’s endless prattling. If such a spot were really known, Dame Peace might claim it as her own, And in it she might claim her throne, Forever and forever; There like a queen might reign and live Wiiile every one would soon forgive The little slights they might receive, And be offended never. ’Tis mischief makers that remove Far from our hearts the warmth of love And lead us all to disapprove What gives another pleasure. They seem to take one’s part, but when They’ve heard our cares unkindly then They soon retail them all again, Mixed with a poisonous measure And then they’ve such a cunning way Of telling ill-meant tales, they say “Don’t mention what I said, I pray, I would not tell another;” Off to your neighbor’s house they go, Narrating everything they know", And break the peace of high and low, Wife, husband, friend or brother Oh! that tin's mischief making crew Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted red or blue, That every one might know them! Then .would our villages forget To rage and quarrel, fume and fret, And fall into an angry pet, With things so much below them. For ’tis a sad degrading part To make another bosom smart, And plant a dagger in the heart We ought to love and cherish! Then let us evermore be found In quietness with all around, While friendship, joy and peace abound, And angry feelings perish. The Vote for Trial Justices. H. L. Ford 188 D. T. Sims 194 R. 8.

He is looking a little older, but has not otherwise changed. One of the staff of the Journal had quite a protracted conversation with him the day after his arrival. He ap peared to be in first rate spirits and seems to have borne his trying ordeal with much fortitude and manliness. He speaks frankly, openly and unre servedly, preserving with becoming care his dignity when he alludes to the indignities which have been in flicted upon him. His views are clearly defined, and he has no hesi tancy in freely expressing them. He is by no niettns wedded to the idea that" ins race is dependent upon the Radical party for their life and exis tence, but be takes broader and high er views, and says that his advice and efforts with them is to lay aside party and take tiie best men for office. He speaks exceedingly kindly of tiie peo ple South, and while talking im pressed us with the sincerity of his feelings.

But our ambitious youth must bear in mind the fact tiiat Mr. Wadley, when he was growing up, didn’t wa'ste any time smoking cigarettes and hanging around the street corners waiting for an easy job with big pay. He rolled up bis sleeves and went to work as a blacksmith, and literally hammered his way to fame and fortune bv stri king the hardest kind of licks.

Aug. 22, 1882-4t COMM NED PER TIL IEEE, DISTRIIIVTOR ER AND COTTON- Tlii-s machine tin- furrow, puts down the fertilizer directly under the opener in largo or smail quantities, covers and smoothes off the bed above it; then the cotton seed i< delivered above the fertilizer in large or small quanti ties (a - de-ired), and eo\ered; and as the.Machine passes along, the ground on each si>:-e of the r> w is thoroughly pulverized. The ease with which it is operated, t .e certainty with which* it puts out the seed direct from the gin, without any skins, mid 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 ntPord t i do without if. it is light draft and easy work for one horse to haul it, ami the driver, from his seal, can see at a gfanee that both seed end fertilizer me 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 I 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 alout it. Respectfully, C. K. HENDERSON, Agent, Atken, 8. C.
