Be calm and self- possessed, and let your conduct con form to the dignity of the great un dertaking which you espouse. If your antagonists turn as red in the face as boiled lobsters and rush around like frenzied lunatics, so much the more reason for you to keep cool. Don’t threaten anybody, don’t abuse any body; let your antagonists do that, as those kind of chickens generally come home to roost. Be quiet, cool 2iud brave, and all will be well. Remember. Remember that Aiken givrs noth ing to the C., C. G. & C. Railway. .She receives for her bonds $30,GOO in stock at the par value, which may at some future time be worth 21 handsome premium and pay a liberal interest. Remember that this bonded subscrip tion will never lie touched until $100,- 000 more is added to it. Remember that you Imve the written guarantee of President Johnson Hagood, your former Governor, formally executed and recorded, to insure the good faith of this understanding. Remember that tliis great enterprise begins at your own doors, and that the people pf Aiken will commence to realize some of the benefits on the first day that active operations commence. Remember that the opposition comes from interested parties who desire to hold the town by the throat so that all her trade shall stagnate upon one block to tiie detriment of the public at largo, an d to build up sales upon which a proper return is not made in every instance to the tax col- collector, and if it is denied that improper returns of sales are habitually made by some of those making the most violent opposition to citizen hi right to examine*. Close the Bar-Rooms. In view of the fact that an impor tant election will be held to-morrow, we earnestly trust that all the bar rooms will be closed from 10 o’clock to-night until after the votes are coun ted to-morrow. It is true that the election is not political, but simply a vote cm the question of subscription to a great business enterprise; yet at the same time it cannot be denied that more bitterness and bad temper has been exhibited thus far during the canvass than at any election since 1876. In the interests of law and or der we therefore earnestly urge that all the bar-rooms be closed and every effort be made to conduct the election in so peaceful and quiet a manner that whatever may be the result of the vote, the g&od name of the town may suffer no reproach. If liquor is freely dispensed, we caution our municipal authorities that upon their heads will rest the responsibility for any distur bance that may occur. Close the bar rooms and let everything be done de cently and in order. the financial affairs of the committee growing out of the election trials. Ten thousand dollars were appropria ted by the Legislature for the defence of the officers of election persecuted in the United Ktates Court, but it is thought that the expenses to be allow ed will only consume one-third of the sum appropriated. —Two prisoners in Greenville jail, on the charge of larceny, recently at tempted to effect an escape by firing the building, but the flames were dis covered in time to prevent the aceom- ment of the incendiaries’ purpose. The jailor afterwards took out warrants against the two prisoners charging them with arson, so when they have finished their sentence for lareon they will likely “go up” for life on conviction of arson. —The Darlington News says: “The ‘Arkanssis fever’ is gradually making headway among the colored popula- lation. ~ Eleven families from the country and three or four from this town have gone. To what part of the State we could not find out. We hear that the colored members have given their congregations some offence and a great deal of good advice in refer- to the matter. The colored people of the county have been unfortunate. Too many of them have rented , land, given liens, spent too much time in idleness, been too extravagant, and are now ready to go anywhere in hopes of bettering their fortunes.” —The News and Courier says: On Sunday morning last Sarah Richard son, a notorious black thief, entered the residence of Mrs. Fraser, at the corner of King and Queen streets, while the occupants were out, and ransacked one of tlse rooms, taking off several gold rings, a watch and chain and other articles of value. In formation of the robbery was given to the detectives, and yesterday Officer Miller arrested the thief, who confes.s- and stated that she had given the plunder to Rosa Deas, another notori ous black thief. Deas was also taken into custody on the charge of receiv ing stolen goods. D. F. McEwen, T, M. H. 0. T. S, Diamonds.! Watches! Jewelry!! XE IF GOODS!

An investigation of the tax re turns and an honest adjustment of the burdens of taxation would re dound to the public welfare and lead to wonderful and almost incredible discoveries. a No Convicts Wanted. Let the colored people remember that the friends of the C., C. G. & C. Railway ask for no convicts to build their road. Let them remember that their race will be the first to enjoy the benefits arising from the construction of this road. The first hour that work commences on this line will be a memorable epoch to the colored peo ple of this section of the State, as it will provide hundreds of industrious men with healthy, permanent work at remunerative wages. If you wish to fawn upon and lick the heels of the Main Street clique until you are crushed down into a sla very of mind and body more exacting and unreasonable than that from which you have been emancipated, vote against the railroad. But if you wish to act like men and aid in the advancement of the Town and Coun ty, so that yourselves and your chil dren’s children will reap the rich re wards in store for those who promote wise and liberal measures of public improvement. Then vote “subscrip tion. M Don’t Be Scared, We ask our colored friends not to be scared.

J. Tyler was 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 five o’clock the next afternoon the adjuster arrived and in twenty- four hours after he found Mr. Tyler the-ytdiole loss was adjusted with out any arbitration and without an unpleasant word. So quick aud tuniea- ble a settlement is worthy of imita tion by other companies. Col Saw yer has been in the insurance business for five years, and this is his first loss. He has recently associated with him in the insurance and real estate busi ness Mr. W. S. Pope, well and favor ably known in this community.” We represent other first-class com panies, and will be pleased to serve our friends. CLAUDE E. SAWYER & CO. Full Edition, words and music.
