The South Carolina Koom at Mount Vernon. Tito following letter from the Hon. W. A. Courtenay, the model Mayor ! of Charleston, addressed to Capt. H. j H. Hall, commander of onr gallant Palmetto Rifles, explains itself: Charleston*, Jan. 24, 1884. Dear Sir—It gives me pleasure to I acknowledge the receipt of your let ter and enclosure of yesterday. The $116.75 will he duly acknowledged in the News and Courier to-morrow. There are some things South Carolina ought never to fail in, and that is in uphol ling the name and fan e >f the •Slate. To have the S. C. room at Mt. Vernon otherwise than in perfect or der lets down the .State and gives ground for insidious remarks. I am glad to see the response from Aiken, hut two-thirds of the counties are very silent. Charleston will answer soon. Mrs. Pickens has shown great public spirit and wonderful patience, and this ought to incite the silent counties to do something, however small. We won’t have had crops every year in the old State. Yours respectfully, Wm. A. Courtenay, Treasurer. We hope every county will perform its duty in this patriotic work. Aiken has done something, hut we would he pleased to see her contribution large ly increased. To the gallant Palmet- toes and the earnest zeal of their com manding officer too much credit can not be awarded, and to Mrs. H. H. Hall and the ladies who so kindly aided her, the thanks of the commu nity are due for their unselfish efforts in this patriotic work. Important Notice. Those indebted to The Recorder for subscriptions are earnestly reques ted to settle their dues at an early date. Onr list is growing so large that we must continue to erase the names of those who persistantly delay the settlement of their arrears. The indi vidual accounts are small, hut the ag gregate is large and very important to us, who have to meet all our expenses promptly and in cash. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Read This. The time for selling winter clothing is nearly gone. Our stock is badly broken, so for thirty days we will sefl the balance of our clothing at first New York cost. Do not let this chance go by; we mean all we say, and a call at the Aiken Clothing Bazaar will convice yon that bargains may be had. Stock Law Bacon. More bacon has been raised in Aiken County this year tnan in any two pre vious years since the war, and the hogs weigh more and the meat is of a finer quality than usual. The rea son is evident. The hogs have been well fed at small expense, right under the master’s eye. This is one of the blessings of the stock law. A Present for Our Subscribers. We have still on hand a number of Almanacs prepared expressively for “The Aiken Recorder, with calcula tion tliifi. hxt^fcuia, Ad y 1 —id with leaves for memoranda scattered through the book, which we are prepared to present to all paid-up subscribers who apply at this office.

Shaw, of of Edgefield, was destroyed by fire on the 23d of November, and a reward of $50 is offered for the arrest of the barn burner. A Sad Death. Seldom does it fall to our lot to rec ord a more melancholy death than that of Mrs. Mary Oakley, wife of our esteemed fellow-citizen, A. W. Oakley, who breathed her last on Friday, 25th January, leaving a devoted husband aiul four little children, one only three days old, to mourn her loss. She was buried on Saturday last at tne Baptist Church cemetery, the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert performing the last sad rites. The sympathy of a large circle of rel atives and fiiends are deeply enlisted by the death of this beloved and in teresting young wife. —The Charleston News and Courier .says: Information reached the city yesterday of the suicide of Elisha Clark, at the Charleston Mining Com pany’s works on Cooper River. Clai k was an excellent negro, and had bt- ; come crazed by the death of a favorite i child. On the evening of the 12th he accosted a group of friends, and asked them to cut his throat. They thou*.ht lit was a joke. The night watchman, later in the evening, saw him run | along the huge wooden pier of the company and, on reaching the edge, plunged headlong into the river. It was so late and dark that no assis tance could be rendered. The body has not yet been recovered. —The News and Courier says: The l recent freeze had a disastrous effect on the truck farms above the city aud j badly damaged the winter crops of ! vegetables. A truck farmer said yes- ; terday that the amount of damages | cannot be estimated yet, but almost the entire crops of cabbages, turnips ! and lettuce were destroyed. The cab bages that had been planted for the spring market were generally killed. The winter cabbages wherever they had headed were burst open by the cold and ruined of course; The plants that had not headed up did not suffer fatally from the cold and will come out all right. The turnip crop was badly damaged. Indeed almost the entire crop remaining in the ground was destroyed* The lettuce crop was almost completely destroyed. None of the spring crops, with the exception of a few peas and potatoes, had been planted, and so the losses were not so great as they would haxe been had the cold spell come a little later. The strawberry crop was not injured. IfcTOTIOIEL MUNICIPAL ELECTION! I N pursuance of an Act entitled “An Act to authorize counties, j townships, cities and towns interest- • ed in the construction of the Carolina, j Cumberland Gap and Chicago Rail way Company to subscribe to the cap ital stock of said Company,” approved the 22d day of December, A. D. 1883, and in pursuance of a written appli cation of a majority of the real estate owners of the Town of Aiken, as di rected by said Act and in pursuance of a resolution of the Town Council of Aiken, passed on the 14th day of January, A.

D. 1884, the polls to open at 10 o’clock a. m. of said day and remain open until 3 o’clock p/m., then and there the question to be submitted to the voters of said town whether or not the Town of Aiken shall subscribe the sum of thirty thousand dollars ($3J,- 000) in bonds to the capital stock of said Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway Company.

Annual Election. The annual election of officers of the Knights of Honor took place at their hall on the night of the 20th of December, 1883. They were installed on January 3d, 1884. The following is a list of the newly elected officers: "Wm. Turnbull, Dictator; John Klein, Vice Dictator; J. T. Gaston, Assistant Dictator; A. Burekhalter, Guide; J. H. Beckman, Treasurer; C. H.

Beckman, Alter nate Representative; Trustees, H. H. Hall, J. T. Gaston and A. Buckhaltcr. A Correction. The report that J. C. Dore, colored, of Aiken County, was a memer of tne negro convention held in Colum bia sometime last summer, and that he drafted the resolution containing the insolent lie, “that we are cursed with tiie most damnable form of State government to which a free peo ple were ever subjected,” is entirely without foundation in fact. J. C. Dore was not a member of this convention. By reference to the files of The Re corder we find that the delegates from Aiken County were 8. R. Smith. R. J. Dickson, L. W. Jones and Rev. W. H. Heard. Dore is an unusually well educated colored man, and in our opinion is too intelligent to be caught at any time in such bad company. —Silk beaver hats are now fashiona ble in Edgefield. —Passenger fare between Barnwell and Blaekyille has been reduced to 35 cents. —A special term of the United States District-Court will begin in Greenville on the first Monday in February. —The Newberry Observer says: The negro exodus from this County to Arkansas is not over yet.

Rigby, of beaufort, for the invention of an apparatus for ma king sulphuric acid. —The Pickens Sentinel says: Let everybody resolve to push the business during the year 1884 and build the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chi cago Railroad. —After the first day of November next it shall not be lawful for chil dren under six years of age to attend the pubiic schools. So said the Legis lators by solemn enactment. —The Camden Journal says: The emigration fever has spread to many of the colored people, and hundreds of. thpm )Vr«> <-■ fronte. >/' xt-;j— , ’ grate to Arkansas and other Western States. —The Newberry Herald has just completed its nineteenth volume. It Is a fearless, just and outspoken co temporary, and we wish it the contin ued success which it has richly meri ted in the past. —The Saluda Argus comes to us un der an entirely new management. Mr. T. F. Riley has sold the paper to Messrs. J. H. Hogan and J. L. Talbert, and Mr. Hogan has assumed charge of the editorial department. —The Edgefield Advertiser says: Lieut. Gov Sheppard tells us in a lew quiet and expressive words that he has no design whatever—or wish—of opposing the Hon. George D. Tillman for Congress. Aud we make the same statement in the same quiet manner. —Some regard the emigration of the negroes as a calamity. For our part, we say let them go until there is no longer a negro majority in the State, when that time comes there will be more freedom for the whites of South Carolina.—Newberry Observer. —The Newberry Observer closed its first volume a few days since. The Observer is an ablv conducted journal and one of the neatest and best prin ted papers in the State. Messrs. Wal lace, Houseal & Kinare have our best wishes for their continued prosperity. —The production of the Haile gold mine in Lancaster County averages $1,500 per month, but this yield will be increased at an early day, as addi tional machinery to the valueof many thousand dolars will he put to work in the diggings as soon as possible. —The Attorney General has given his opinion that the commissions of all the Notaries Public appointed pri or to 1868 have expired, and that No taries appointed before the adoption of the new Constitution in that year have no official powers. —The work on the Columbia canal is making steady and rapid progress j and this great water power will soon be available. When completed it is es- J estimated that the power will be 11,-| 0O0 horse power or equal to that of Lowell, the great Massachusetts man- j facturiug city. —Last week a little boy about four years old was bound to the railroad track near McCormick in Abbeville County. The engineer stopped his train just in time to save the boy’s life. He was taken on to Augusta. The officers of the road think they will be able to catch and convict the per sons who did this deed. —A colored man named Alfred Smith, who was convicted of arson committed at Winnshoro last fall of the cabin of a colored woman, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for life, has been pardoned by the Governor. It was done in response to a petition from a number of prominent citizens, including the Judge and Solicitor be fore whom the case was tried.

The holiday season is past, and the great and steady rush at the Aiken Clothing Bazaar has let up and settled down to steady business. Our stock is in such shape that we could, with financial ease, carry it over until an other season; but we are determined not to offer to our frfends old good^ and represent them as new, so for the ’ next sixty days we will sell our stock of winter goods lower than any other house in the State.
