Granttkvili.::, 8. C., Feb. 4,1>S4. Editor Aiken Recorder'. Those who attended the Episcopal Chapel last Thursday evening had the pleasure of hearing an excellent sei- moii from the Right Reverened W. B. II. Howe. It was full of good things, and lie held the congregation spell-bound for some time with one of his usual interesting sermons. At Howland’s Theatre, on Church street, last Tuesday ana Wednesday i evenings, two very creditable perfor mances were given for the benefit of the Baptist Nickle Club by a select companf* of our amatuer dramatic talent.

Again lias the quiet of our beautiful little town been broken by the sudden visitation of another Lfeart-reuding catastrophe, resulting in the horrible death of Mr. W. H. McKenzie, late of Columbia, »S. C., who had visited Ai ken on business, and was thrown from a buggy aud instantly killed. The cir cumstances connected with this sad death are, as we are informed, as fol lows: Mr. W. Hume McKenzie, a young Scotchman by birth, about 27 years of age, one of the 8tate corres pondents of the Corbin Banking Com pany, visited Aiken on last Thursday morning, arriving on the short train from Granitevilie at about 11 o’clock, A. M., for the purpose of transacting business with Col. Claude E. Sawyer, ; Greenville News: A few days ago the • very accomplished, talented and ex cellent gentleman who writes to the Augusta Chronicle from Washington : stated that he turned wearily from a dream of home back to “political dri vel.” As applied to the letters he is now manufacturing, this is the li- Chas. nest piece of descriptive writing we have ever seen. It has all the merit of terseness, force aud perfect accu racy. No one can excoriate the prophets more mercilessly than Bob Ingersoll, but hebimselfhas now turned prophet j “How far do you think Mr. Morrison and the Democrats will go with the tar- tariff?’ lie was asked. ‘The Democrats,’ replied, “will have just enough to he scare the protectionists and not enough to satisfy the free-traders.” That’s just exactly the key in which we wish to j/itch our tune.

Railway, near Langley, in this county. Owens was in the act of coupling cars when his head was caught between the two platforms and his brains crushed out in the most horrible manner. Several trucks passed over him after he fell. The body was afterwards taken to Charles ton. Death of an Old Family Servant. Miriam Cornish, an old colored ser vant of the Cornish family, expired on Thursday last in an apoplectic fit. She was well advanced in years and was a communicant of St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church.

Butler, while working in his sawmill: “It appears thot Mr. But ler had on his overcoat to protect himself from wet and exposure, and while near the saw the teeth caught the sleeve of his overcoat, dragging hint on the saw, which quickly cut through his arm and almost severed his body in twain.

Mr. Me. is a careful and reliable druggist and understands his busi ness. It is hoped by his many friends that he will be successful in his new quarters. Dr. S. Russ, our leading physician here, was called to his home in Nortli Carolina last week in consequence of his brother, who is very sick. A burglar has called on the new firm of Messrs. J. L. Ouinby & Co. already. A few nights ago while the rain was pouring down one crawled through the light hole over the front door. He didn’t seem to be one of those big rough fellows that wants every thing, but from appearance only went for the money drawers. Ho succeeded in getting two or three dollars in small change, mutilated coins and coppers. It is thought he got scared oft" before he could do much mischief. He es caped through the side window and is now at large. Mr. Henry P. Cook has taken off his Bingham school outfit and gone to learning Telegraphy and general rail roading instruction of Mr. B. W.

The Railroad Question—An Improper lieturn of Taxes Charged—Threat ening' the Press and Trying to De moralize the Colored People by an Appeal to tlie Pocket Nerve. (Augusta Evening News.) Aiken, S. C., January 29, 1SS4. Editors Evening News: We are hi the largest and strongest and most intense excitement that we have been called to witness since the days of 70. The C. C. G. & 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 has made every cent he is worth off of the poor; has been to his tenants and told them if they voted for bonds he would raise the rent, and to those he held a mortgage on he would close down aud sell them out. What a blessing froedom 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 greater than in a few moments, but human aid w as 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 in 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.
