S. Ravenel will resume the exerci.scs of her school next Monday, September 1st. The Granitevilleand Vaucluse Mills now run only every other week. The Langley Mill still continues to run on full time. Wright’s hotel in Columbia, is an admirably kept establishment. The tables are supplied with the best and the bed-rooms are large and com fortable. On last Wendesday and Thursday nights this vicinity was visited by ver heavy rains, accompanied by, hig] wind and much lightning. The removal of the Town Hall from the middle of Laurens Street will be a ? reat improvement, and the site on ark Avenue is a most admirable and convenient location. We were shown yesterday at the hardware store of Mr. Robert Powel an ear of corn raised by Mr. Lawrence Courtney on sandy laud, which meas ured 12>^ inches long, and weighec l}* pounds. This is hard to beat. Mr. J. W. Dunbar, of Ellenton, has the credit of sending the first bale of new cotton to the Augusta market this season. It was received by Garrett & Latimer on the 19th inst., and weighed 482 pounds. Town politics are commencing to assume interesting proportions; Mr. H. Hahn is said to have retired from the race for Intendant, and Messrs. J. W. DeVore and W. Q. Davis are now the opposing candidates in the field. Aiken will soon have telephonic connection with Augusta. A contract has been made with the Bell Tele- ihone and Telegraph Co., and work will be commenced at once. The office will be at the store of Messrs. Hahn & Co. Robert Powell, the hardware man, says that goods in his line were never so cheap before. From a glance at his stock he appears to bo supplied with every article known ta the hardware trade. Go and see, that you may sat isfy yourselves. The protracted meeting at Town Creek Church closed last Friday night. Revs. Pope Norris and W. H. Sloseley conducted the services during the meeting, which lasted one week. Sev eral new members were added to the roll of rhe church. Soiitlt Carolina Railway.

CALL FOB A CONVENTION. Address to the Citizens of Aiken Connty Calling a Convent ion of t hoy Favorable to Prohibition to Meet in Aiken, Wednesday, October 15.1884.

A Man Falls Over lOO Feet to the Bottom of a Well. Yesterday while Rube Franklin, the well known colored well-digger, was engaged in cleaning out the well on the farm of Mr. David Wise, about two miles from Aiken, lost his life under the following circumstances: It appears that Rube declined to use the new well-rope of Mr. Wise, but E referred to bring his own rope from ome, with which he commenced his descent into the well,-seated upon the top of the bucket, and when only five or six feet from the top the rope broke and he was precipitated to the bottom of the well, which is 108 feet deep. It will thus be seen that the unfor tunate man fell a distance of over 100 feet. As soon as possible the body was removed from the well, when it was found that life was extinct, his neck having been broken, as well as one of his arms, and a hole knocked into his skull, besides other injuries. Rube Franklin, or ‘‘Old Rube,” as he was called, was probably the oldest and most experienced well-digger in Aiken County. He has probably dug more wells than any man in the County, and his work invariably gave satisfaction. If he had been a man of sober habits he might have saved from lis earnings what to a colored person would have been a very snug sum, as ;he digging of a well in this vicinity s a serious and expensive matter. Jabe Franklin, the son of “Old Rube,” was murdered by Virgil . Iriggs several years ago, Briggs dying m jail after trial and conviction, lending an appeal of his case to the Supreme Court. Tho father and son were both well-diggers, and both have lerished by violent deaths. tion at the Town of Aiken on Wed nesday, the loth day of October, 1884. We most earnestly urge that imme diate steps be taken to secure a full. . representation from every township ***“ never me£ in the county. We would most re- '' inehester d spectfully urge that the members of S oin S> 4,0 every white church organization, ev- number o! ery Sunday school and every Temper- l number of m ance society throughout the county, hold a meeting and elect a full dele gation to said convention. Our object is one which appeals di rectly to the hearts and minds of all thinking Christian men and women, and which will go far to promote the moral growth, material prosperity and happiness of the people of our entire county. We desire to provide the opportunity for the friends of prohibition to meet together face to face and discuss this matter in a calm, business-like man ner, so that we can thoroughly organ ize in time for the submission of the question of prohibition to the voters of Aiken County on the 4th of Novem ber, by means of a special box in charge of special managers at every precinct in Aiken County. We would most earnestly apperl to every minister of the Gospel through out the county to aid in tb's matter, and earnestly urge that the pastor of every congregation take immediate steps to promote the object of this call b '• thi Repaid nory a little ex- tbe dashing young was at Winchester, the battle In 1864, I had heard a ; "xfi *.

Our fellow-townsman, the Rev. T. P. Hay, pastor of the Aiken Presby terian Church, preached on Sunday last, at the New Brighton Casino, on Sullivan’s Island. The News and Courier in its report headed “Sunday on the Island,” says: “At night the Casino was crowded with a large au dience to hear the Rev. Thomas P. Hay, of Aiken, S. C., preach. Mr. Hay is a young man, but he seems to realize all the responsibilties of a man who is appointed to stand between a living God and a dying people. Last night he held the large audience spell bound for three-quarters of au hour, during —‘-‘"A he showed, both by law and logic, that the only true way was the narrow one, and the only refuge was the rock, “Christ Jesus.” The music and singing during the ser vices were exceptionally good, one lady remarking that she would have come from Charleston to have heard the music alone.” A Factory in Flam cm. Augusta, Ga., August 22.—About ialf-past three o’clock this afternoon the picker room of the Sibley Mill caught fire and in a short time the whole of the upper part of the picker room building was in a blaze. The building is about one hundred feet long, four stories high and is in the rear of and attached to the main mill One of the employees, who was at work in the picker room which occ t iies the whole of the third floor, says ic heard a crackling noise as the cot ton was passing through the rollers, and in a moment the big roonrwas in a sheet of flame. A general alarm for the fire department was sounded, while all the fire apparatus of the mill itself and that of the King mill adja cent was at once put to work. Twelve streams were played on the fire at one time, but the two upper stories of the picker building were nearly destroyed before the llames were extinguished. The roof was entirely burnt off. The two lower stories were only partly damaged. Twenty bales of cotton were consumed. The main building was not damaged. The total loss Is about $30,000, fully covered by insur ance. .The weather was intensely hot, and the firemen suffered greatly in their long run, some of them having to go nearly three miles. There was an alarm of fire at the mill last win ter, when several firemen were bruised by the lee. There was LuShtaTC lilcCiCemerit in town this afternoon when it was announced that the mill was burning, and much relief was expressed when it was ascertain ed that the damage was no greater. >y directing attention to the evils of | he liquor traffic and by calling a meeting of their respective congrega tions and electing full delegations to the convention which will be held at Aiken on Wednesday, the 15th day of October, 1884. Fellow-citizens : Remember that while the country dealer is pro- libited from engaging in this injuri ous but most profitable traffie, the dealer who happens to reside in any little incorporated town like Aiken, Madison, Ellenton or Hamburg, is li censed to consume your hard won earnings In exchange for that which snatches bread from the mouths of women and children, brutalizes man hood and sends more souls down the dark valley of perdition than any other known cause in nature. If Prohibition is good for the coun try, why is it not also good for the lit tle incorporated towns where the coun try people are compelled to trade ? If Prohibition is so excellent in the country as to merit the commendation of all classes, let us apply It also to the (owns. Equity and reason de mand this, and the women and chil dren of the country who are put to the blush by the returu of empty handed drunken husbands and fathers from their nearest market towns, would soon realize the difference occasioned by the removal of the bar-keeper, and his poisonous wares by increased com fort and happiness at their domestic firesides. Men of Aiken County we urge you by all that is sacred in heaven, and honorable on earth to rise in the maj esty of your power and forever stamp out this foul traffic.

Editor Aiken Recorder: Permit me to call attentionin^your columns U>,thi8 admirable invention. have had one'fh use now for several months, aud it “works like a charm.” Where the women in the household or on the premises are in the habit of drawing water from wells 75 to 100 feet deep, the saving of hard, heavy work s incalculable. Aud then, at aitime like the preseut, when the attention of our public authorities is being con- stautly called to the importance of cleanliness iu our streets aud cisterns and wells, it seems that no better in vestment of the public’s money could he made than in attaching this “Fix ture” to each well in Aiken. It used :o be a common practice to have old [ieube Franklin go down into my well to clean it out, aud the contents con sisted of brickbats, old iron, old caps, old dippers, a hatchet and old buckets. This fixture closes up the top of the well and secures it from becoming the depository of accidental or intentional damage to the public health. Lucius Cuthbert.

A one-year old child of John Simons succeeded in getting a large thimble lodged in its throat, completely clos ing the windpipe. The distracted mother immediately sent for a physi cian, but noticing the increasing blue hue which overspread the child's face, she instantly ran her finger down the sufferer’s throat to force tho obstruc tion into the stomach, when, as good fortune would have it, the end of the finger became firmly incased in the thimble, and it was drawn out. When the doctor an ived the child was ready to swallow another thimble. —The Sunday News and Courier, says: A few nights ago Conductor Blanchard, of the Charleston and Sa vannah Railway, stopped his train and put off a negro near Drayton sta tion who was stealing a ride.

If You Have a Fine Watch or complicated one in need of repairs, you want to have the work done by some one who is competent to do ft properly. An incompetent workman can ruin the delicate adjustment of a fine watch without being conscious of having done any damage; but the owner who has been wearing it all the time knows that whereas It used to keep perfect time and is now unre liable, therefore something must be wrong with jt. We make a specialty of fine watch repairing, and have a silver medal awarded for fine watch wytk. Our charges are as low as is consistent with good work. The ex press charges will be only 25 cents each way. When desired we will give an estimate of cost before doing the work. P. H. LACHIOOTTE & 00., 99 Main St., COLUMBIA, S. C.
