His death j sides was occasioned by that insidious dis-' ease, consumption, which had long since marked him as a victim. He leaves a widow and four little children to mourn his loss. Our sincere sj'm- pathies are extended to this bereaved family. On last Sunday morning the pulpit of the Aiken Methodist Church was acceptably filled by the Rev Wm. Childers, of Kentucky, the Rev. W. M. Mood, the pastor, being unavoida bly absent in Charleston. In the even ing the Rev.S.P. T. Fields preached an interesting sermon on tiie subject of Temperance, from the text “Woe unto them that rise up'early in the morn ing to seek after strong drink.” the advertisement of that well known firm, Messrs. Tozcr & Dial, of Colum bia, which we advise all who want a thoroughly reliable and satisfactory steam engine to read. Recently while in Columbia we had the pleasure of visiting their extensive works and in specting their wonderful machines and ample facilities for conducting their immense business. The Tozcr Engine is pronounced by all good judges to be the most simple and least liable to get out of repair of any othe and to be peculiarly adapted to th wants of a Southern plantation. Bi these engines they make saw mills of any size and do all kind of repairing at short notice. For further particulars read advertisement in an other column and send in your orders to a meritorious firm located in you own beautiful Capital. Address Tozer & Dial, Columbia, S. C Our friend and fellow-citizen, Dr. B. H. Teague, is comfortably quartered at Tryon, N. C., and seems to be enjoy ing himself hugely. We have re ceived several copies of the Trvonian, a miniature newspaper published at Tryon, in which appear an interesting letter by Dr. B. H. Teague, also his dental card marked to run from June to October, and a notice of meet ing of the Fruit Growers Association, where we find our friend, the doctor, one of the persons appointed to read an essay. The doctor is evidently trying to make his summer trip useful, pleas urable and profitable. Gone to New York. Mrs. Williams, of Park Avenue Millinery, left for New York on last Friday, by way of Charleston, to se lect her winter stock of millinery, la dies’ underwear, fancy goods, &c During her stay in New York she will visit the various schools of art, needle work, &c. New Cotton. On Tuesday last Mr. Jack Wise brought in the first bale of new cot ton. During the week nine or ten bales have been brought to Aiken. Several were bought by Mr. C. K. Henderson and Messrs. Hahn & Co., and the balance were shipped to Charleston and Augusta. 1 Gen John B. Peck, L. i Pas. and Ticket Agent. Circuit Court Decree. The judgment of Judge Kershaw in the case of L. P. Covar, Judge of Probate of Edgefield, plaintiffs, vs. Max Sallat etai., defendants, for fore closure of bond and mortgage, was filed last week. He opened the judg ment and granted the plaintiffs a new hearing. Messrs. Bonham & DeVore and P. A. Emannel for plaintiffs; Messrs. Henderson Bros., W. W. Wil liams and Croft & Dunlap appear for defendants. 1- Visit of Col. A. Coward, Slate Super intendent of Education. On Tuesday last Col. A. Coward, State .Superintendent of Edueatioi paid an official visit to Aiken in the interest of the public schools. Hi was met by .School Commissioner L W. Williams and Col. C. E. It. Dray ton of the Board of Examiners, and sevral important matters relative to the schools were freely discussed. .Steps have been taken for the hold ing of a County Normal Institute sometime in September. As soon as it is definitely ascertained who will be the principal and assistants, due notice will be given through the pa- pess both of time and place. The sum of two hundred dollars is appropriated by Act of the Legislature for this pur pose in each county, and Commis sioner Williams now holds this sum ready to be disbursed according to law between the white and colored schools of Aiken County. Col. Coward recommends that the jurisdiction of each Board of Trustees he confined to not more than three schools as a means of securing greater attention to the wants of the schools from these important Boards. The system has been tried in Orangeburg and has been found to work admira bly, as by this means the members of the Board are enabled to perform their duties with less inconvenience to their own private affairs. Col. Coward seems to be earnestly endeavoring to discharge the full measure of his duty in the face of many obstacles. His visit to Aiken was unexpected and informal, but nevertheless it has been beneficial. He left on Tuesday afternoon to fill an engagement at Johnston iu Edge- field County. Conn: y Calltnc a Convention of those I'avorable to Pro! si bit ion to Sleet in Aiken, Y»* eilnesilay, October 15,188-1. We the undersigned hereby cordial ly invite those of our fellow-citizens of Aiken County who advocate the total prohibition of the liquor traffic in Aiken County, to meet in conven tion at the Town of Aiken on Wed nesday, the 15th day of October, 1884. We most earnestly urge that imme diate steps he taken to secure a full representation from every township in the county. We would most re spectfully urge that the members of every white church organization, ev ery Sunday school and every Temper ance society throughout the countv, 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, General Manager. Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad.

We call attention to the advertise ment of Mr. Andrew A. Kroeg, Phar macist, of Charleston, 8. C., who calls the attention of the Aiken public to his splendid preparation of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Irish Moss and Hypo- phosphites of Lime and Soda. This medicine is so admirably prepared that the taste of the cod liver oil is thoroughly disguised, and the most delicate patient finds it pleasant and palatable. It is said to be a most effi cacious remedy for coughs, colds, con sumption and general debility. Be sure to ask -for Kroeg’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Irish Moss. Ttial Justice Jordan Stubbed in two Places. On Saturday night last upon the arrival of the 11 o’clock train from Augusta, a considerable disturbance occured upon the platform at the depot between several disorderly ne groes, whereupon Conductor Malone and Mr. J. H. Hard, the agent of the South Carolina Railway, invoked the assistance of Trial Justice O. C. Jor dan, who happened to be on the train. Mr. Jordan promptly endeavored to arrest the negro man, who was the principal disturber of the peace, when ho was set upon and stabbed in two places; one on the shoulder and the other in the arm, by a negro woman named Betty Warren. The man es caped but the woman was arrested and is now in jail. We are glad to learn that the wounds of Mr. Jordan, though puiuful, are not serious. Head at a Recent Meeting of the W. C. T. IT. in the Aiken ItnntisL Church by Miss Maggie Carson, one of the Members. To the Members of the W. C. T. i/., Aiken Division: The question to be discussed is: How can these meetings be made in teresting, keep the old members, draw in new ones, make each one punctual and prompt in attendance? First—Prajyer for guidance, prayer for God’s blgssiug, prayer tor success^ prayi 1 ! 1 T/> draw each member nearer in sympathy in the great work under taken, prayer to bear the strife, hard though it be; to lighten others bur dens by a cheering word, a friendly grasp of tiie hand; prayer for strength —strength to overcome the great evil that is causing hearts to break, ma king homes desolate, and bringing children to ruin; prayer, first, greatest ami last, beseeching, heartfelt tvnd far- reaching, that every member will feel it a duty to take hold, working for the dawn of tiie time tha£ woman is wait ing, hoping and praying for. Now, in the right way, God’s blessing will come to those that ask. Have we asked it? And asking, believe that we receive it? Trusting is faith wait ing to hear the voice, “Fear not, for I am with thee.” When a man (or can I say woman?) enters business life, first the resolutions are made; no fail ure is in the plans, for the will, hopes, thoughts, actions, life, aye, more, self and heart are bent to the one goal, success; and have each of us brought our woman’s ingenuity, our hopes, friends, actions and hearts here? Have we not left them under lock and key at home, and come here from principle, rather than interest or a thought of success? The interest shown by the old members will soon bring in new ont s; but if the old mem bers cannot be interested, why shall ind which will go far to promote the moral grow th, 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 wo can thoroughly organ ize in time for the subniLsion ot 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 appeal to every minister of the Gospel through out the county to aid in this matter, and earnestly urge that the pastor of every congregation take immediate steps to promote tiie object of this call by directing attention to the evils of the liquor trafile and by calling a meeting of tlieir respective congrega tions and electing full delegations to tiie convention which will lie held at Aiken on Wednesday, the loth day of October, 1884. Fellow-citizens : Remember that while tiie country dealer is pro libited from engaging in this injuri ous but most profitable traifie, the dealer who happens to reside iu any ittle 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 tiie 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 tiie towns. Equity and reason de mand this, and tiie women and chil dren of the country who are put to the blush by the return 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 Ids poisonous wares by increased com fort and happiness at their domestic firesides. Men of Aiken County we urge yon by all tAit is sacred in heaven, and honoi^w on earth to rise in the maj esty pUBruir nower and fo-evor stemy blit this Foul trafile. Postpone the day, and your homesteads will find their Mari day. At resident the Re^ BlakeJ Emma The bj lumbia Mat 1884, at r J the Jlev D.

Plant two acorns, give one water and sun shine, the other hot sun and shelter from the refreshing rain, the differ ence will soon appear—the one with fresli green leaves moving gently to every wind; the other dead. And so, without life in our meetings they will dwindie and die in the face of every bar-room and ruined, desolated home iu this town and country. We may come here a few times and read what this one or the other one may say or do, has said or done, but our work here will only be a little dead twig on the strong tree of the Woman’s Chris tian Temperance Union, and the time spent in sowing chaff to the wind, in stead of good seed sown in good grou nd.
