Rejected coniniunica- lina, Edited anti Compiled by Major Harry Hammond, of Hceelt Island, Aiken County, S. C. After months of weary waiting, we doors, and the town of Aiken is not without her full share of these self- important, wouid-be local autocrats. The time has come, however, when the citizens of Aiken propose to dem- ar'* sit last in possession not of one! onstrate, in unmistakeable terms, sit but of two copies of this most invalu- , ballot-box, that the progress aud aide work, which maps out the re- prosperity of this important town PR0CLAMA f 1.1, s.

The guarantee that her subscription will not be used until $100,000 is placed along side of her money Insures that when this $130,000 is spent, it will pla'-e the work in such a condition that Aiken will begin to enjqy some of the fruits of herinvest- inestimahle value. Our intention is to call for an expla nation of what appears to be most re markable and unaccountable treat ment of the editor and compiler of this meritorious work. As we stated above, we have two copies of the work. One was borrowed from a friend in Charleston, who happened to be one of the fortunate few who ment. If the road was never comple-1 i iaV e been in possession of the work Jed any further than Trenton, this would establish an easy connection with the C. C. & A. Railroad, which would greatly facilitate Northern travel to Aiken and entirely avoid the awkward connection at Graniteville, so much complained of by Northern visitors. Rut, with the road finished as far as Trenton the work will pro ceed with redoubled energy. Edge- field, Abbeville, Anderson, Pickens and Greenville are all ready to stretch forth the friendly hand with liberal offerings. Besides this, once that European capitalists see that our people are ac tuated by a stern purpose to achieve success, they will untie their purse strings and the financial agent will experience no difficulty in floating at good figures all the bonds necessary to carry the work to successful comple tion. We desire it to be distinctly under stood that as the work must commence at Aiken, she will enjoy the first fruits of the enterprise, and undwr no circumstances can she be a loser after the road crosses the C. C. & A. Rail road of Trenton. At this late day, after so much has been written of the utility of this great enterprise, it seems almost su perfluous to remind our citizens, white and colored, that increased rail road facilities are among the main springs to prosperity and progress. Increased population, increased trade, increased employment and higher wages all follow in their wake. Re sure to remember these facts, and place Aiken right upon the record by footing up such a large majority for “subscription” that the echoes of suc cess will reverberate to the mountains and afford moral aid to our friends along the line that will manifest itself by earnest work and large subscrip tions. Bulldosing. ' ' vVc arc Credibly informed that some pf the colored people who propose to vote “subscription” at the election on February 6th have been threat ened with an increase of rent, in the event of their following the bent of their inclination. We have also heard of one colored man who is threatened with a foreclosure pf mortgage if he votes “subscription.” We have only to say that these are desperate resorts, whioh go far to in dicate the bitter vindictiveness of a puny opposition, that will be over whelmed with defeat in proportion to the virulence and violence of its ef forts. The harder you throw an elas tic ball the higher it will rebound, just so with a worthy enterprise of great public utility—the harder you kick and abase it, the more attention it will attract and the sooner it will attain triumphant success. The people of Aiken will take good care on Thursday, the 0th February, that a few individuals shall not so manipulate the colored vote as to throttle our prosperity and check the march of progress. If rents are raised, or the colored people are turned out of house and and home, they will not have fur to Jook to find friends who will make all necessary provision. Such high handed measures create a reactionary force which provides its own remedy and whioh generally leaves their au thors in very much the same fix as the man who bit oft' more than he could chew. A Cordial Welcome. The press of Aiken, in consequence pf its attitude on the railroad ques tion has been threatened with the in troduction of a new paper “that will more fully represent the interests of Aiken.” To this threat we reply that nothing would please us better, if said paper would only start with a nice improved power pres*. Owing to our large and increasing circula tion, our new and improved Wash-1 ington hand press is severely taxed to j get out our edition in time for the J mails, consequently an improved ' power press will soon become a mat ter of necessity. The third paper would fill this bill admirably by dis posing of their power press to us after first getting it in good running order. By all means let us have a third pa per; this is a splendid year for it rr* ! the country is teeminy with n surplus \ for the lust six weeks or two months; the other was obtained by sending a postal note for twenty-eight cents to the Commissioner of Agriculture. The first contains a preface written by Major Hammond, hut the copy re ceived from the Agricultural Depart ment has this leaf taken out, and not the slightest clue is afforded in any part of the work as to who has per formed all this laborious and merito rious literary work. It is true that the names of the authors of specific articles are given in their proper places, but the great bulk of the vol ume is given to the world as an anon ymous production, unless we are to assume that the words, ''Published by the State Board of Agriculture ” are intended to imply that these gentle men claim the credit of the editorship and compilation. The matter of Major Harry Ham mond’s connection with the work, map and all, is of such public notorie ty that such an assumption would im ply too great an ignorance of facts to make this solution practicable. If, as we understand, the publication was actually suspended and the work delayed, to the great detriment of the pubiic service, in order that this pre face should be cut out from the vol ume, the public have a right to know the full and precise reasons for this most remarkable conduct. At pres ent we have nothing more to say, but at the proper time may present aver sion of the case, reinforced by docu mentary testimony, that will afford interesting reading. The following is the preface, which we understand was eliminated from the work by order of the Agricultural Board: Red Cliffe, Beech Island, S. C.) loth October, !S83j I have brought together in these pa ges as many facts and figures as I could, in tlie time at my disposal, touching the resources of South Car olina, ana me m«re obvious condi- ditious of life in her limits. The map L have prepared to accompany this volume will enable the reader to lo cate and bound the enumeration dis trict of the tenth United States Cen sus within the State. This gives for the first time, the frame-work in which to fill all the details of the cen sus. These may beconsidered in con nection with the geological and phys ieal features of the State, which, in so far as ascertained, are also exhibited on tins map. I return my thanks to many persons who, in response to my inquiries, have contributed important data for this volume, and in especial to Gen. John son Hagood, who, being then Gover nor of the State, caused the work to be undertaken and gave it effective furtherance. Should this book induce others to promote or to prosecute similar work, or assist them in extending our knowledge in these regards and in making it available for human use, I shall esteem myself fortunate.

The parties Yvho are snugly enjoying this source of protec tion, Yvhich amounts almost to an c.v elusive privilege, as the benefits ac crue to a very restricted area, are the very ones Yvho now squirm aud ca vort in angry opposition to Aiken contributing her mite towards one of the greatest improvements of the age, aud which will increase the prosperity of our town to an extent that Yiill he felt by every man, Yvoman and child in the corporation. To raise this subscription of $30,000 in one tux le\ r y Yvould not only be un- Yvise and burdensome, but Yvould ef fectually check those works of public improvement so necessary to a town like Aiken. Such a course would be so unbusinesslike and impracticable that the proposition can only be re garded as a coY’ert opposition to the whole scheme. With the bonded indebtedness dis tributed over a period of tYveuty years, the annual payments of prin cipal and interest Yvould be so small that no hardship would be inflicted on the tax-payers, nor YY’ould any inter ruption to public improvements ,be necessitated. As-the building of the road progresses, so Yvill Y’alues on property be increased and new capital flow in upon us, bringing increased population, ue\Y T buildings, neYV lines of business, aud, as a logical se quence, lower taxation. AVe earnestly desire to see Aiken prosper aud progress, and yvc feel it our duty to encourage all worthy en terprises which are calculated to vi talize our energies, increase our popu lation, and develop new industries and resources. AVe therefore earnestly urge our citizens, white and colored, to disregard this masked opposition and quietly march to the polls and vote “subscription,” The time has come when our citizens generally must take greater interest in munici pal elections or meekly submit to the nomination of a few interested par ties, who seem to think that Aiken begins and ends on one block of Main Street. “Ishmael.” The News and Courier has arranged, by cable, for the publication in the AVeekly New-s, of a new novel by Miss M. E. Braddon, the author of Dead-Sea Fruit, Lady Audiey’s Se cret, Aurora Floyd, and a large num ber of other popular novels. Ishmael, the latest work of Miss Braddon, promises to be as absorbing in inter est as any of its predecessors, and will add largely, therefore, to the attrao- Hao-4 of i.hsv , —*-— — MIcs Braddon, beyond peradventure is the strongest of the novelists of the sensational school, and is now do ing her best literary work. The publication of Ishmael in the AVeekly News will take place at the same time as its publication weekly in England. The opening chapters, printed here from advanced siieets, will appear on Jan. 30th, and the sto ry will run for twenty-six weeks. Long before the publication of Ish mael shal have been completed, the publication of the sketches entitled “Our Women in the AVar” will have begun. These sketches are expected to be continued during the whole of tlie present year. Business transactions, though the parties be thousands of miles from each other, are quickly completed in these days. In the morning, Ishmael was offered to the News aud Courier by the English publishers. The terms being satisfactory, the proposition was accepted by a cablegram which was dispatched from Charleston between eleY r eu o’clock and noon. Before 3 P. M. a cablegram was received from England announcing the completion of the bargain, and giving the name of the new story. Tlie price of the AA r eekly News is $2 a year. Five copies ordered at the same time $9.25; ten copies $17.50. Clubbing price, $1.50 a year.

J. Tyler yvus totally destroyed by fire. It was insured in the “Factors and Trader’s” Insurance Company of New Orleans, La., for $2,000 by Col. C. E. Sawyer, their agent at Aiken. On Tuesday, Colonel Sawyer was notified of the loss and ho immediately telegraphed to head quarters. At fiv'e o’clock the next afternoon the adjuster arrived and in twenty-four hours after he found Mr. Tyler the whole lossY\ asadjusted Yvith out any arbitration and Yvithout an unpleasant word. So quick and amica ble a settlement is Yvorthy of imita tion by other companies. Col Shyv- yer has been in the insurance business for five years, and this is his first loss.
