Editor Aiken Jiceordrr: Those wiio attended the Episcopal Chapel last Thursday evening had the pleasure of hearing an excellent set- rnon from the Right Reverened W. B. II. Howe.

It has all the merit of terseness, force and perfect accu racy.

Call and The Railroad Question—An Improper Return of Taxes Charged—Threat ening the Press and Trying to De moralize the Colored People by an Appeal to thc Pocket Nerve. (Augusta Evening News.) Aiken, S. C., January 29, 1884. Editors Evening News: We are in the largest anil strongest and most intense excitement that we have been called to witness since the days of 70. The C. C. G. A C. Railway Company want the people of Aiken to bond the town for 30,000, the bonds to be placed in some good bank in this State, sub ject to a joint order of the Intendent of the town and the President of the railway company. When the compa ny shall raise $100,000 then the work to be commenced at Aiken and pushed through to the mountains. There on ly remains about 75 miles to grade. The opposition is using every effort possible to bulldoze and intimi date the poor, and especially the col ored. I am told that one man w ho lias made every cent he is worth off of the poor; has been to his tenants aud told them if they voted for bonds he would raise the rent, and to those lie held a mortgage on he would close down and sell them out. What a blessing freedom is, even to those not born in this country of.liberty. The heaviest opposition is in Lau rens street. There the merchants do the business, and they don’t wish any others to embark in like pursuits. From what I can learn there is some thing even gre feared by some. xnc »uppwan.i«.n *o, if, in giving in or making tax reiurns is not sworn to, it implies that some j forget, or do not have ink enough, to | make a few more ciphers to the right, i Some say if the tow n tax list is revis ed and taxes made uniform the taxes ; will not be increased if the people do I vote for the $30,000 bonds. That is i enough to scare the sharks out. Some people seem to have a great horror of j the gutter, 1 plank high aud 2 or 3 plank wide, situated paralel with Park Avenue. It seems the team was on the sidewalk and Mr. McKenzie was being dragged along the gutter, to the right side of the buggy and when he reached this bridge, his head and shoulders were jammed under and struck with should spi bet side of team dashed on a few r hundred feet down Park Avenue, where the buggy struck the well-known hickory tree near the freight depot, which was struck by lightning a few years ago. There were several persons near by who immediately ran to the assistance of the unfortunate man. They extri cated him from the bridge and at tempted to give him water. He could only gasp. A man immediately dash ed oh for Dr. T. G. Croft, who arrived in a few moments, but human aid was of no avail. After a few seconds the Doctor pronounced life extinct. Col. Sawyer was at once notified and telegraphed to the Company in New Yoik, and Mr. R. A. Morgan iu Columbia. In the meantime he took charge of the remains and had them conveyed to his rooms at the Gaston Hotel, and proceeded at once to have the body dressed and prepared for shipment. Mr. Chafee at once sent for Coroner Kitchens, who arrived about 6 o’clock; when the following jury was empanelled and an inquest held: John T. Gaston, Foreman; L. R. Weeks, Harry Bardeen, F. W. Clay, Geo. \V. E. Thorpe, W. J. Mose- ley, Jr. , — - A Verdict vjras rendered in accor dance with ^ above facts. Mr. Morgan arrived from Columbia on the 10 o’clock train, accompanied by F. M. Fisher of the Grand Central Hotel, and after holding a consulta tion with Coi. Sawyer, they decided to have the body carefully embalmed. Drs. Croft and Geddings were again summoned and proceeded at once to Atlantic Phosphate Co.’s celebrated brands of fertilizers, cotton seed meal and German kainit for sale bp C. K. Henderson, Aikens S.

Bonds or no bonds, I think the taxes should be equalized.
