Our cotemporary of the Greenville News, if we mistake not, sent out circulars in 18H1 looking to the forma tion of a new party of some sort, which some how or other never made a start. We don’t think it will ever do the like again; but still we can’t help reminding our cotemporary of tills erratic step in order to mildly re mark that with all due respect, in view of this fact, we think-it ought not to bo so glib in making charges of jHilitical inconsistency against so out- spokon and staunch a Democnftic journal as Tub Aiken Recorder. /Ulomcy-Ooneral, CnAREBB Uicii/rkhscnr Milbb.

The Greenville News, in its issue of the 14th inst., publishes an editorial commenting on our article in last week’s Recorder, entitled “Unex pected and Uncalled for,” which re ferred to the impropriety of Colonel Tillman’s speech before the Barnwell nominating convention, which for in accuracy of statement surpasses any- The heroic act of Miss Ella Benja min, of Charleston, an account of which wo publish elsewhere, affords a sublime picture of tho highest attri butes of courage and devotion of which human nature is capable. No gallant spirit inspired by the loftiest concep tions of patriotism ever passed from earth to immortality by a nobler death than tho self-sacrificing woman who sank into a watery grave while rescu ing only a little child from death. Much deeds are legacies to our common humanity for all ages to come. They purify, for a time at least, the hearts and minds of men, and cause them to remember that “ man was created in tho imago of his Maker.” A Island anew the heriesm ami self-:»criCt*e i which woman is capable. hard it would! Between 2 ami 3 o’eloek in the af-| ternoon a mim!*cr of children went in bathing in front of Dr. Kinloch’s! house ou Sullivan’s Island. The spot lias always Ikkh considered a danger ous one, and it is said that several i>er- sons ha.ve been drowned near the place. Miss Kiia Benjamin, a resi dent of Charleston, who was boarding at Mrs. Walker’s house, went in to bathe with the children. Julian Reid, a little son of Mr. Loughton R. Reid, was among the children who were bathing,and the little fellow got beyond his depth ami was in imminent dan ger of losing his life. Miss Benjamin at once saw the peril,, and being a good swimmer went to his rescue. She reached the drowning child, caught him iu her arms and held him above the waves for nearly fifteen minutes until a boat in which were two col ored men came up. The little boy was rescued by the colored men, who also made an at tempt to rescue Miss Benjamin. The prolonged efforts to save the life of the child,however, had evidently exhaust ed iier strength. Hhe kept aiioat until the little boy was safe, and then sank. Every effort was made to re cover her body, hut it was fully twen ty minutes after the drowning when the search was successful. At the ex piration of that time Miss Bcujamin’s body atloated to tho surface and was taken ashore. ^The body of tho lady will be brought to the Vity to-day for JTftcrrrrctttr S TATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.)

The fact that the survivors of the Greely expedition were forced to eat portions of the bodies of their dead companions seems toJiave been fully proved by indisputable evidence. That these men should have been driven to such an extremity to sustain life is in deed shocking, but under the circum stances entirely excusable. Men in their right minds and in reach of ordinary food would rather die than eat human flesh, but while suffering the pangs of starvation with their minds in a delirious state, the case is materially altered. The indecent and scandalous stories which have been circulated against the private character of both tho Democratic and Republican candidates for President, are a dis grace to the American name. We be lieve thorn to be false, but whether true or false, we consider their indis- M ISCEL.L.AXEOU8. " day, as a sad commiAiiury regret that it attacks Uncle George Tillman with much fury because he derides the Prohibitionists of the North ami West.” Tho editor of the News, if he had stuck closely to the facts, would have found no room for his regrets. We never mentioned a word about Northern Prohibitionists, but took exception to the slighting manner in which Mr. Tillman spoke of the women engaged iu the Prohi bition movement, because in Aiken and Barnwell Counties, and in many other counties in .South Carolina, hun dreds of the noblest, the purest and most refined of Carolina’s daughters are devoting their unselfish labors to tho Prohibition movement with an enthusiasm that challenges our admi ration and respect. Again he says that The Recorder “quotes with approval a fiery speech mode by the Rev. Mr. Chrietzberg, declaring that the Prohibition ques tion is in politics and will remain in it.” We published an extract from Mr. Chreitsberg’s report to the Grand Lodge of Good Templars at Its annual meeting In Charleston; but the publi cation was left to stand purely upon its own merits, just as we sometimes publish articles from the Greenville News; but if the editor of tho News will read again, lie will see that we never made one word or syllable of comment, either for or against, and if he will stick to the facts he will see that Mr. Chreitzberg never used even approximate language to what he attributes to him. On tho contrary Mr. Chreitzberg said “We desire to force liquor out of politics, away from the ballot-box,” «&**: ' As to accusing us of inconsistency |i supporting the Dcmuerit ! e inywi- nccs and still being an advocate of Prohibition, we desire simply to say that we do not regard the question of Prohibtion in its present phase as a national issue. We consider it a local question, to be managed by each State for itself. We even go further, and have so expressed ourselves before, that we would oppose a general Pro hibition law, even for tho State of South Carolina. Wo believe in build ing from the bottom, that is, allowing the counties to deal with this question soperatoly, so that when the liquor traffic in a given County T!s prohibited by Statute, we can reasonably hope that the law has been demanded by the public sentiment of the people who have experienced the disgusting nuisances and demoralization which inevitably follow in the wake of that t rathe.* It ill becomes our cotemporary of the Greenville News to accuse us of inconsistency, who have always been a devoted the present moment, and who during the time when fusion movements were fashionable opposed them as best we could, both by voice and pen. We have never bolted a Demoeratie nomination in our life, although we confess it went very hard with us to vote for Greeley for President and Carpenter for Governor. We had the honor of introducing the resolution in the County Convention which com mitted Aiken, among the first coun ties in the State, to a straightout Democratic light. Wo always con tended that wpnever could win until on the civilization of the niueteeth century. A Blaine rally, at which E. M. Brayton, the Internal Revenue Col lector who lives in Columbia and tries to vote in Aiken, figured, was held in Columbia on Friday last, and proved a miserable failure. Several negroes spoke, but Brayton was the only white-skinned creature in the crowd. As usual, Brayton discoursed about the Eight-box law’, and made himself generally ridiculous. The Barnwell Democratic primary election resulted iu the nomination of Col. L. W. Youmans for the Senate, by a majority of 128 votes over Col. Robert Aldrich. The following are the nominations for the House of Rep resentatives: A. F. Free, H. J. Kearso, John J. Malier, L. B. O’Bryan and W. H. Bellenger. Mr. Tillman’s Barnwell Speech. From The Edgefield Monitor. The Aiken Recorder severely criticises Mr. Tillman for making an anti-prohibition speech after he was nominated at Barnwell on Friday. It claims to have heard from a relia ble source that if he had made the speech before the nomination was made the result would have been different. The Recorder learns that he stigmatized Prohibition as a move ment “lead by long-hared men and short-haired women.” We hope this is not true, as we regard the women engaged in this cause as the noblest of God’s creation. The Editor of the Monitor is not likely to realize his hopes, as we have been informed by gentlemen who were present, that Mr. Tillman not onlv^ Tho State Teachers’ Association elected the follow ing officers Monday evening: President, B.

Redmond, the fa mous “moonshiner,” spent last Mon day in the city of Anderson, and du ring the w’hofe day he was followed around by a large crowd, all anxious to get a look at him and hear him talk. Ho is slow’ly recuperating his health, though hestill uses one crutch, which is occasioned by a wound in the leg. His voice is weak, and he is trou bled with a cough. Mr. W. M. Fitch, of Charleston, S. C. , aged 27 years, and respectably con nected, committed suicide on Friday last, by shooting himself with a pis tol. The deceased was an employee of the South Carolina Railway Com pany,who had been recently promoted. His accounts wo re perfectly straight, and thecause^jf the unfortunate act as a mystery. Mr. Geo. P. Allen, of Montmorenci, Aiken County, and Mr. I. Singleton Moore, of Stateburg, Sumter County, have contributed to the Agricultural Department for exhibition at the World’s Fair at New Orleans a lot of pears averaging 12 ounces each, but one of those sent by Mr. Moore weighs 18 ounces.

She came upon him by surprise and settled his hash with a clothes paddle which she carried in her hand, lie measured 49 inches from tip to tip of wings. Some mean scoundrel, says the Ma rion Star, on last Friday night deliber ately pulled a board off the stables and stabbed a fine mule of Mr. C. C. Walsh, twice. If the blade of tho knife had been a fraction longer it would have penetrated the heart. Sir. Thomas Yates, of Coosaw, Beau fort County, has sent to the Agricul tural Department an onion, grown by himself, which weighs tnree pounds and measures six and a half inches in diameter. It has been prepared for exhibition at New Orleans. Added to the thrilling tales of suf fering by tho Artie survivors now comes a horrible story of cannibalism. Still, people are crazy to penetrate the polar Ice barriers, The Governor has sent to Barnwell for a description of Carson, charged with the murder of Rev. John. G.

It is tlie simplest structure for raising water on the market. 2*1. IT IS EASILY ADJUSTED TO ANY WELL OR CISTERN. Any person can put one up in 30 min utes, as it has no attachment to any part of the well below the platform. 3d. It is the most durable fixture for the purpose inusc. It is substantially constructed, and the uuckets never come in contact with each other, or the sides of the well, and the groove provided.in the wheel is so arranged as to produce but little friction on tho ropo ami none ou tlie pulley. 4th. It works easily. The buckets balance cacli other, so the only resistance to overcome is the weight of the water in one bucket; hence it is the only structure that will raise water from deep wells without a corresponding increase of friction, and that requires no more power to operate in a well of 100 feet than iu one of 20 feet depth. 5th. It is always ready for use and always at its best. After years of service the same num ber of turns of the crunk brings the same amount of water as when new. 6t. It has none of the objections common to pumps— It will never freeze, has no wooden tubing to wear out, decay and i%>llute the water, no iron tubing to rust, never lias to be prlieed, piiekod or tlmwed you do not have to pump out a pail full of water to get a fresh cool drink. v 7th. It is entirely free from danger. Being provided with a self-acting brake, governed by an eccentric, it is impossible, should the hand acci dentally slip from the crank, for the bucket to run dawn. Hence any child can handle it with perfect safety. be Jui ?heap. i^ther particulars apply to [ C. E. SAW T YER & bO., Aiken, S. C. 1884-4t -ONLY- THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF WELL COVER, WHEEL WITH CRANK, two buckets and ono spout for each bucket. These spouts are attached to inside of curb or frame, and are operated by rod pressure from the outside, bringing them up under and raising tiie vaive in the bottom of the bucket and conveying the water t<> proper receptacle. Hence it will be seen that the unpleasant handling of ropes and buckets will be done away with, and the uncleanliness attending such operation avoided.
