AJKKN, H. C., TUESDAY, FEB. 12.
TIk* Kailroatl Election-
Tlie result of last 'Wednesday’s elec
tion affords one of those striking illus
trations, which we sometimes meet
with, of a community willing to
pocket ail that is cast into Its lap, but
unwilling to contribute in a liberal
and business-like manner towards the
development of Its qxvu resources.
No enterprise was ever presented
more fiiirlj' or reinforced hy stronger
guarantees than the one just spurned
by the Afkeu public.
The Act authorizing the sufiserip-
jtion provides that the bonds should
run for twenty years, bearing seven
per cent, interest, and each year one-
twentieth of the principal to be paid.
The town is free of debt and the pres
ent rate of taxation only ouc-fourth
f)f one per cent.
Under tiie provisions of tliis Acta
subscription of $30,000 was asked for;
whereupon a majority of the real es
tate owners petitioned Council to or
der an election, which was accordingly
appointed, after due advertisement,
for the Oth pf February. Pending the
.sleetjou a guarantee was asked that
the $10,000 subscription by the town
pf Aiken should not be touched until
$100,000 more was raised to expend in
^connection therewith, so that effect
ual progress might be made when the
work commenced. Without a shadow
pf hesitation, (Jen. Ifagood, the Pres
ident of the C., C. G. & C. Hail way,
ordered the necessary papers to lie
drawn, which he signed and placed in
possession of the town authorities.
It was estimated that in view of the
amount of work already accomplished
between Aiken and Edgefield Court
House, this amount would grade,
^restle, cross-tie and iron the road be
tween those points, leaving a few
thousand dollars to spare.
Under this guarantee and this state
ment of facts the friends of tiie road
were met with the most bitter opposi
tion by all tiie merchants of Main
(Street, save a few enlightened excep
tions. On the side of the road were
arrayed tiie press and, with but few
exceptions, all the representative men
of tiie town.
But between these two parties there
existed a fluctuating and uncertain
quantity, viz., the negro vote, which
/could uot be reached by the press or
hy an enlightened public sentiment,
but which is peculiarly sensitive to
inliuences of fear pr personal and
temporary gain. These people, with
litrfc fi: vr exet nthiua, could not bo affeo*-
te<l hy an increase of taxation, because
subscription or no subscription all they
would be liable for to either town or
county, would be, their enpitationor
poll tax, which is expended in the ed
ucation of their children. In other
words, they had nothing to lose and
.everything to gain', as the first stroke
of work would bring to them an in
creased demand for labor and necessa
rily higher wages. Under this view’
of the matter, that they should be
come conspicuous factors in the oppo-
ftitfon Involves such, an illogical and
unnatural operation of cause and ef
fect that we have to remember their
ignorance and moral destitution, and
look tp their habits an^.mode of life
to ascertain what forces were most
likely to influence their action in a
matter where no politics or sentiment
were involved, but merely a cool
question of a public improvement by
which they were certain to he bene-
fitted, and in no event could be in
jured.
It is a recognized fact that the aver
age negro preacher, however ignorant
or immoral, is undoubtedly a shrewd
manipulator of the flock over which
lie presides with a despotic authority
consequent upon the superstitious fa
naticism and emotional nature of the
negro race. With but few exceptions
they are generally foremost in the
heat and excitement of eloctions. It
is also a well known fact that negroes
are never so happy as when clustered
together in large numbers in our cit
ies and towns. The persons who con
trol the shanties or small houses
which they occupy exercise an impor
tant influence over the actions of these
ignorant people. A threat of an in
crease of rent or an ejectment from
the domicil, or a foreclosure of mort
gage, have a terror unknown to the
country negro, but all powerful in the
eyes of the town negro. The country
negro can go to tiie next farm and ob
tain the same accommodation, and
perhaps better wages, because his la
bor is in demand. Not so in the town,
which they haye overcrowded and
where they obtain a precarious exist-
euce, because there are too many of
them for the amount and kind of work
to be done. Again, as a class let it be
remembered that a large majority of
the colored people run small accounts
with the merchants, and that the con
tinuance or discontinuance of these
accommodations are matters of su
preme importance to them. Now,
with the negro in this,position, and
the merchant and the landlord and
the preacher all cracking their whips
and making their threats, is it a won
der that they voted precisely as they
were ordered, and exactly contrary to
common sense and their own inter
ests?
(Such in brief are*the influences that
captured the majority of tiie negro
vote in the late election. It is true
that a considerable number of the
younger and more intelligent of the
race yielded to advice and voted in
the direction of their interests, al
though subjected to the severest pres
sure from" the other side; but the
causes which "e have named were
the powerful agencies which, control
led the bulk Of the negro vote. It is
a recognised fact that they were as ef?
Actually bu!14oa*d as if they were a
It may be asked in this connection,
, why were the merchants opposed to
a public improvement of such utility
and importance? Our answer is that
while various reasons have been as
signed, such as an opposition tolxmd-
ing the town, and an indisposition to
increase the taxes, not a single valid
argument has been advance^. We
are constrained to state that the true
reason is ascribed by the majority of
thoughtful and intelligent people to a
fear of competition and a selfish de
sire to keep the centre of trade con
fined to its present ei reuinscribed
limits on the main street of the town.
With increased railroad facilities trade
would require other outlets; more
new stores would be built on Park
Avenue, and trade become more dif;
fused, to which these public spirited
citizens strenuously objected.
Be this as it may, the result of the
election is before us, and no thought
ful person, uninfluenced by selfishness
and prejudice, can regard it otherwise
than as a most severe blow at the
prosperity of Aiken.
In conclusion we would say that it
is greatly to be regretted Unit such
questions should ever he submitted to
any hut tax-payers. The simple pay
ment of the poll tax is not a sufficient
qualification* to •entitle one to vote
upon aquestion involving the proper
ty of others. The' Voter should, in
;r s
ycr
every instance be a‘paj^r of taxes
upon either personal property or real
estate. The voter should be in a posi
tion to assist in some manner to bear
the burdens which his vote may exx*-
ate. If this principle is recognized
in future elections of this kind, an
uncertain and merchantable com
modity will be eliminated, and much
loss of time and unprofitable display
of ill-feeling avoided.
We have striven to perform our
duty to the public in the promotion
of this enterprise; we have had no
private axe to grind, hut have labored
solely to keep our town in the ranks
of the army of human progress and
enlightenment. We regret that our
labors and those of our esteemed co
adjutors have been in vain, and that
the community of Aiken will now be
afforded the opportunity to repent at
leisure tiie hasty blow she has struck
at her own prosperity. When the
prosperity of competing towns built
up by the development of an enter
prise which has been spurned from
our doors depletes our trade and at
tracts from Aiken the attention of
visiting strangers, thou eanst not say
we did it.
“Another Such Victory and I
Must Return to Epirus
Alone.”
Such was the exclammation of
Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, one of the
most famous of Grecian warriors, as
he surveyed the battlefield strewn
with the dead and dying, after his
victory over the Romans. May not
the “anti-subscription” citizens of the
town of Aiken exclaim in the same
strain when they reflect over their
disastrous success obtained by a ma
jority of eleven votes, “Another such
victory and we are mnhn^?”
i m m 11
volved in tlie'lat^BnS^^Ks a small
and insignificant affai^B^PWed with
the odious moral load with which the
town of Aiken has handicapped heri
self in the race of progress and en
lightened improvement. Aiken has
in the most public and effectual man
ner served notice upon all whom it
may concern, that while she is ready
to gobble all that is dropped into her
arms, she is unwilling to contribute
one cent towards promoting those
enlightened ways and means which
would ihcrease lier business facilities,
promote the comfort and convenience
of. the travelling public, and lift her
high in the scale of prosperity, en
hancing her reputation as the habita
tion of a liberal, progressive and wide
awake community. When evidences
of torpor, illiborality, monopoly and
exclusion are so painfully visible in a
business community, the capitalist
wisely buttons his pocket and seeks a
more congenial field to expend his
money and develop his brainy enter
prise. We have certain and trusty in
formation of two different parties of
capitalists who proposed to invest in
Aiken, both contingent upon the
result of the late election. Had the
result been favorable, a new hotel
would have been built in Aiken at a
cost of from $230,000 to $300,000, in the
course of the next twelve or eighteen
months. As it now stands, the gen
tlemen contemplating this measure
have almost entirely abandoned the
project. The second instance of which
we have certain and reliable informa
tion is that of two gentlemen from
New York, who announced their in
tention before the election of invest
ing about $75,000 in land within the
corporate limits and erecting neat
cottages and other improvements, in
the event of a verdict in favor of sub
scription. We all know the result,
and those gentlemen left the next day
for Florida, to seek a field of opera
tions where the community interested
seemed disposed to make some faint
efforts to help themselves.
The election is over and therefore
we can afford to look these matters
dispassionately and squarely in the
face. In this connection we may be
excused for venturing to suggest that
the competition experienced by Aiken
as a sanitary resort is vastly different
from what it was ten years ago. Peo
ple expect* more now for their money
at $4 per day for board than they did
then at $5; and yet no efforts are made
to fill that reasonable measure of pub
lic improvement that one might nat
urally expect in a town enjoying the
reputation of a great national sanitary
resort. As an instance we would re
spectfully ask where another case can
be produced of a civilized community
having a population of over 2,500 in
habitants and possessed of a taxable
property amounting to near $900,000,
which fails to provide the ordinary
decency of street lamps? People who
come here for pleasure and health at
great expense, and wlu> freely spend
their money among us, have either to
remain within doors after rtight-fal 1
or stumble about in the dark at the
risk of their necks. Think you, read-
ere of Thk Recorder, that such a
penny-wise and pounji-foolish policy
of those
iek
to mark these external evidences of
that same halting, penurious policy
which dictated the result of the late
election?
Animated only bj* a sincere desire
to promote whatever will redound to
the reputation and material welfare
of our beautiful town, we earnestly
invoke our citizens to inwardly digest
these matters and make a new depar
ture for the future. A terrible blow
has been struck at our prosperity.
The business men of Augusta are in
a broad grin at the absurd position in
which our community is placed. Let
those who produced the result extri
cate us from the shameful dilemma.
Equitable Taxation.
Adam Smith, one of the greatest wri
ters on political economy ever produc
ed hy any country la3’s down thd fol
lowing as one of his four rules of
taxation: 14 ‘The subjects of ( .every
State ought to contribute toward the
support of the government, as nearly
as possible, in proportion to the rev
enue which they respectively enjoy
under the protection of the State.”
Just here we desire to ask whether
this grand fundamental principal up
on which the whole structure of equit-
‘able. taxation rests, is not openly set
at defiance by some of the tax-payers
of Aiken ,^Ve pause for a reply; and
the columns of T/ie- Recorder Ifre
open.
Our Subscribers.
For tiie last two weeks our receipts
from subscriptions have exceeded any
that we have ever taken in during
the same space of time. Among these
receipts we are happy to note quite a
flattering number of new subscribers.
Thank God; the County of Aiken is
brim full of manly, independent citi
zens, who know how to appreciate our
efforts in behalf of progress and enligh
tened enterprise. Tiie handsome
manner in which our subscribers are
settling their dues, in spite of a hard
crop year is worthy of all praise and
commands our highest respect and
appreciation.
Swindling Extraordinary.
The frauds reported in U. S. Mar
shal Blythe’s office are of the most as
tounding character, showing the most
barefaced swindling. Many accom
plices were connected with these ne
farious practices and the department
of justice has every arrangement for
laying its hands on the criminals and
bringing them tojustice. Falsecharge
for services unperformed, misapplica
tions of funds, false balances and
swindling witnesses out of their pay
are only a few of the counts in tiie
miserable chapter of fraud. Among
the culprits we note Deputy Marshals
Philippy and Fauborg who once figur
ed extensively in Aiken under U. S.
Commissioner Hutchinson.
The Western Deluge.
Fearful accounts of the great flood
in the Ohio, continue to fill the daily
papers. Marietta and Parkersburg,
Galliopolis, Cadettsberg, Laurence-
burg, Portsmouth, Ohio, Wheeling',
West Virginia, and Cincinnati Ohio
besides numeroij
sutAirecI sever
property is reported and the people in
some instances have been driven to
the verge of starvation, being iorced
to eat meat cut from dead cows. The
worst is not over.
Letter from an Earnest Christian and
Worthy Citizen.
Anderson, S. C., Feb. 4, 1884.
Editor Aikeri Recorder'.
Will you grant me a short space in
your valuaole journal to say a few
words, which in my hurried departure
from Aiken it was impossible to say
to my friends verbally, viz., that it
would be very ungrateful in me not to
acknowledge the universal kindness
shown me and mine by the citizens of
Aiken during our short residence of
one year in their Uaidst. The time to
test a people’s friendship and sympa
thy is when one is in sickness or dis
tress. I have lived in many commu
nities and have always had friends,
but I must say that in sickness and
trouble the people of Aiken, regard
less of denominational distinctions,
excels them all in genuine disinter
ested kindness. . Never, till my latest
breath, can I forget them; and, wher
ever my lot may be cast, my feeble
prayers shall ever ascend to the throne
of God in their behalf. To mention
names would be too tedious; but there
is one that with youf permission I
will mention, viz., Dr. Wyman, th^t
genial Christian gentleman and sym
pathizing friend, as well as skillful
physician, who was untiring in his
medical attention to us the whole
year, and could not be induced to
make any charge for his services.
May the Lord abundantly reward
him.
And now, in conclusion, I will say
for Aiken that I know of no town
that hold out more inducements for a
permanent residence. Socially and
climatically it cannot be excelled, and
if her citizens are alive to their inter
est and put forward more enterprise,
Aiken will expand, and will become
a very important and prosperous in
land city. Respectfully yours,
