The color chosen is a dark green, which is a pleasant shade lor the eye to rest on when the thermom eter is at 85 or 90. The New dwelling of Mr. F. B. Henderson is progressing finely, and will be a great addition to that por- | tion of Laurens street. Scott, the colored barber, has re cently completed a neat cottage in the southern portion of the town, which he lias accomplished with the savings oi an honest and industrius life. The new two-story brick store more than one trial justice in Aiken Therefore no new appointment will be recommended to the Governor. They also recommended that Trial Justice Couch of Vaucluse be permit ted to withdraw his resignation in consequence of the request of the citi zens of Vaucluse, who are desirous of retaining his services. Their action in the first instance is { irecisely in accord with the frequent- y expressed opinion of this paper that one trial justice is ample for the town of Aiken. No emergency can arise where a second trial justice can not arrive quite soon enough from the towns of Graniteville, Langley. Bath or Hamburg to grant a habeas coip as if needed.

Our enterprising fellow-citizen, Mr. H. F. Warneke, the baker, has pur chased the two eligible lots of C. I). Havne on Park avenue. One is the mil! and to successfully manage its financial business. Accordingly at a meeting of the stockholders in 1849, it was determined to increase tiie cap ital stock to .Y^OO.OaO. Now, the stock necessary to make upthisamount was uhscribed for chiefly by the original subscribers, though a vciy considera ble number of new names was added to tiie stock list—names as “familiar as household words’’—ail of whom were South Carolinians, save possibly who though a citizen of Connee- of one. r , . . „ ” I tieut, was probable a resident of Mr. Robert Powell is an ornament to j, . hnP ’n >tt , ill J th „ tinm lif* IkPtl. street. , „ „ tj i I N ot one dollar ot the new stock was The neat dwelling of L.

On the contrary, we believe it furnishes a temptation t ) litigation upon frivolous pretences, which inevitably leads to bad feeling and breeches of the peace.

Allow him a sal ary of four or live hundred dollars per annum; hut require all fees lor criminal business to be paid into the county treasury. By this course no encouragement will be afforded to petty litigation, and the office and the officer w ill acquire additional dignity and influence. We are glad to see our oft-expressed views at last realized, because we believe it will redound to the welfare of society. The Waste Basket in Requisition. The correspondent from Ridge Spring, who sends us a communica tion in reply to “Student,” has not only written on both sides of the pa per, but instead of confining himself to one page at a time, stretches ids lines across both pages. This of itself is enough to consign it to the waste basket; hut when we take into con sideration its gratuitously insulting flings of a purely personal nature, un warranted by anything written by “Student,” we emphatically decline its publication on that ground alone. The Recokoek shall never be util ized as a vehicle of personal abuse for purely personal motives by anyone as long as we have editorial control oi its columns. This course we believe to be not only consistent with every principle of social ethics, but with the most or dinary rules of propriety and a due regard for the peace and good order of society. The readers of The Recok- iier expect of us better mental pabu lum than acrimonious personal con troversy between neighbors over mat ters utterly void of gene al interest. j ihe “Fountain city” became a stoefc- . holder in the Graniteville mill by subscription orpurclia.sc of stock. In the year 1802, when Mr. Hick man was in the very act of tranfer- ring his citizenship fr< m Augusta to tiie Hand Hills, he bought several shares of the stock. In the year 1864 iie w as elected a Director of the Com pany, and in 1866 was elected treasu rer.

We earnestly invite the attention of our Town authorities to the filthy condition of many of the back-lots in Aiken. Especially is this the case with many of loose on Laurens Street, the main business thorough fare of the town. We know of some that are in such an offensive condi tion as to impregnate the Avliole sur rounding atmosphere with the most offensive odors during the heat of the day. Unless radical and prompt remedies are applied, desease will surely he propagated in these local ities. In a place like Aiken, where Provi dence has blessed us with so many climatic advantages, it looks like u sin and a shame to peril human life and the sanitary reputation of the town, by an utter disregard of the most ordinary rules of cleanliness. We understand that the Board of health have reported certain cases already. We now earnestly invoke tiie Intendent and Council to adopt summary measures for the removal of these nuisances. Coloucl Starke's Biography of John C. Calhoun. The Coliumbia Correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: Col onel William Pin •kney Starke will soon begin tiie preparation of a work on the life of John C. Calhoun, and no one is more competent to dis charge so delicate and onerous a task. Colonel Starke is one of the most gifted writers in the South, and he has a most intelligent comprehension of Calhoun’s statesmanship, and fully appreciates his great character. His thorough knowledge of the great Car olinian’s public career, and Ids earn est sympathy with all of Mr. Cal houn’s patriotic efforts in behalf of his State, make him peculiarly fitted for this labor he has undertaken, and South Carolinians especially will re ceive this announcement with delight and satisfaction, because they will re alize that full justice is to be done the memory of her great son. 1 have re cently received a letter from Colonel Starke, in which he mentions that he is seated in a chair used by George -Waslringtorritmi writing on the table of J. C. Calhoun. Under the inspira tion of such surroundings he must certainly make a successful com mencement. Music House of the So.uh. We are indebted to our estimable triend, Mr. G. O. Robinson, the popu lar proprietor of Tiie Music House of the South, at Augusta, Ga., for a copy of ‘The New Casket,” which contains a grand collection of church and sing ing class music, containing sparkling gems from Handel, Mozart, Hudon, Rossini, and church selections from eminent American composers, with twelve lessons in the art of reading vocal music, bv Ludden. This publi cation is gotten up by G. O. Robinson, and we feel assured it need only be seen to be appreciated. LOCAL BREVITIES. Col. Edward Croft, of Green ville, the gallant commander of tiie 14th S. C. Infantry, McGowan’s old regiment, spent several days in Aiken during thejiast week, visiting his rel- ^iii7«*»^»’i<*VMiuds. The Colonel \r bqids. on his way from Charleston, wmfher he had been us a member of the Board of Visitors of tiie Military Academy and as a delegate to the Episcopal Convention. The many friends of the battle-scarred veteran and accom plished gentleman were rejoiced to shake him by the hand once more, and wish him long life and success in all his undertakings. He left for Greenville yesterday. On Friday last two German citizens of Chicago, C. H. J. Muller, an un dertaker, and Wm. Baschorn, a brew er, fought a duel with broad swords. Six carriages conveyed the principals, seconds and surgeons to the ground. The undertaker,who was the challeng ing party, after being severely slashed, not wishing to occupy one of his own coffins, cried quits. No arrests were made. It is not stated whether the brewer furnished beer on the occasion or not, hut it is very certain that Muller furnished no coffins. Our esteemed friend Mr. W. W. Woolsey, one of the progressive farm ers of the Levels, informed us on Friday last that of the four horses on his farm, three were bred and raised on the place and the fourth bred and raised in this County. This speaks well for Aiken and particularly well for Mr. Woolsey. We hope to see our farmers pay increased attention to the raising of fine stock of every descrip tion with each A delegation of nineteen, headed by President Hahn of the Aiken Schuetzen, visited Charleston !:;st week to attend the Charleston Sehuei- zenfest, and passed a delightful time. Mo>t of them stopped at the Paviilion | Hotel, and express themselves well- ! pleased with the conveniences of the I house, the excellencies of the table, i and the polite attentions of the pro- ! prietor, Mr. E. T. Gailliard. A division of the Sons of Temper- i ance has recently been organized in j Aiken. Three preliminary meetings j have been held. The officers elect Mill be installed to-night at 8 o’clock at the Methodist Church. We are re quested to state that all who are inter ested in the Order are cordially in vited to attend. the States, this stock was transferred to persons living in the North. Mr. Gregg, the founder of Graniteville and the Presi dent of the Graniteville Manufactu ring Company, died September 12, 1867, after thirty-one years of an ar duous, faithful and eminently success ful career. Mr. Hickman was ap pointed the President pro tempore by the Board of Directors October 2, 1867. He M as elected President of the Com pany April 23,1868, by a vote of 1,203 out of 1,223 shares represented by the stockholders at that meeting. Now, in all these transactions, Augusta Mas | represented by oniy sixty-live and a j half of the fourteen hundred and I tiiirty-three shares of the stock. What | color does this fact give to the claim that the Gra dteville mill is “practi cally a part of Augusta’s manufactu ring system” ? Mr. Hickman, when he assumed the Presidency, M’as encompassed by very many apparently insurmounta- ble'monetary difficulties. But noth ing daunted by the formidable array, and aided by an able and intelligent Board of Directors, he fearlessly en countered and overcame them all, and in a very brief period he achieved a most phenomenal success by his in domitable Mill, his absorbing zeal and devotion to the duties of his office, and his unsurpassed financial skill. He succeeded beyond his om n most sanguine hopes. He soon induced, by the confidence in him, a goodly num ber of the solid men of Augusta to invest in Graniteville stock: and these J now constitute an array of intelligent I men of M’hom any corporation might I feel justly proud ; and are represented | ’‘‘‘■' '•jipr'- bv one capable in all i bis office. Please, Mr. Editor, pardon the length of this screed, yet allow me a little more space to say, in conclusion, that in all 1 have indited I am not actuated by envy or enmity toMards Augusta. On the contrary I greatly admire the city that reposes on the right bank of the Savannah, in such beauty and majesty. I rejoice in her groMth and prosperity. Her noble people need no eulogy; their deeds of noble doing and daring speak for them. Yet I could riot forbear to re buke, in my feeble M’ay, the “vaulting ambition Mhieh o’erleaps itself,” as manifested in the extracts I have ta ken from her daily journals. If these speak truly for her, I cannot refrain from saying that m hen she essays to matronize all the towns which lie M ithin a radius of tu’enty miles from her bell-toMer, she is vainly attempt ing 10 incubate more eggs than she can cover. “Blow your own horn” is a good maxim for a man, if he does not M’eary the public ear; but when he distorts his face and puffs out his cheeks to an unseemly distension in bootless attempts to sound the notes of a fog-horn on a puny whistle, he makes himself ridiculous and unbear able even to his friends.
