‘‘Tliere is
Hush for
No Mad
Office.”
These are the words of Col. Lamoqt,
the private Secretrety and confiden
tial friend of Mr. Cleveland. It was
predicted by some that Mr. Cleveland
would be driven to distraction by im
portunity for office from hungry Dem
ocrats in all portions of the Union,
especially in the South. To the credit
of the country and of the Democratic
party ip particular Col. Lamont says
that {n all the correspondence that
reaches.Mr. Cleveland, “there are but
few references to office,” and he ac
counts for it in the following manner:
“I belive it is mainly because mem
bers of his party do not wish to em
barrass the Governor. They want hks
administration to be a success. They
want It to result iu the betterment of
the whole country, and, though the
times are hard and men want places
out of which they can make a living
worse than they have for many years,
the Democrats havp pride enough to
make them wajt, and allow things to
take thpir natural course, Of course
the Governor’s civil service letter had
its effect. It was supported with great
vigor and unanimity by the press all
over the country, which was alone
sufficient evidence of the pooular sen
timent on the subject. I do not be
lieve there is anything like the pres
sure qn the Governor tnat there would
paye been orj Mr. Blaine, had he been
elected, It is understood that Mr.
Blaine and his friends made a great
many promises which they would
Jiave been called upon to fullfil.”
This is a splendid showing for the
great Democratic party, and espe
cially for the South, which has been
for twenty years the camping ground
of itinerant shystering politicians,
who havp swept (Jown upon our sun
ny land, usurping tho wctL^Wrom-
ciaj positions of the General Govern
ment, tq the exclusion of those to the
manner born. We have borne all
tills and piore with dignity and for
bearance, and ypt “there is no mad
rush for office.”
We glory jn the fortitude and man
hood of our people, and quietly thank
(Jod that the day of judgement is
near at hand for these itinerant politi
cal shysters. South Carolina contains
too many true and honorable men to
have the reproach continued upon
her, of importing political vagabonds
from other States to fill offices of trust
within her borders. Let the itinerant

quor-dealer in 1881, 1882 and 1883, and
shirked the payment of his County
license until exposed by Mr. John T.
Gaston in these columns, when he
paid his license for 1883, but shirked
the payment of his license for 1881 and
1882, as the Treasurers’s books will
show.
We claim that morally a^d legally
he noM’ owes Aiken County $200, the
aggregate amount of license for those
tu-o years. Why all this dodging and
ill-nature? Why not admit the facts
like a man, and go up to the Treasur
er’s office and pay his just dues like a
law-abiding citizen ?
Mr. Gaston was generous enough in
not instituting a criminal prosecution
before the grand jury, but Mr. Chat-
field seems not to have appreciated
his kindness.
We also charged that he successful
ly evaded the payment of a liquor li
cense to the town for eight or ten
years, until he was forced to take out
a license by an ordinance passed Feb
ruary. 18th, 1880, during the Intenden
cy of Mr. Henry Hahn. If these are
pot fac ts, why does not he or some
body else deny them? In regard to
the discrimination made in his
favor by the present council, M’e refer
both him and our readers to the very
practical common sense views contain
ed in a communication from a cor
respondent, signing himself “Another
Observer,” which appears in another
column of this issue.
LETTER FROM “ANOTHER
SERVER.”
Oli-
who was then in command of the reg
ulars being transported from the
Baton Rouge arsenal to the northern
side of the line. Mr. Sherman said:
“Mr. Richeson, I had you M-aked up
to ask if you would be kind enough to
take charge of the corpse of one of
my men and have the body decently
interred?” Mr. Richeson told him lie
would. He then asked the Major
what lie thought of the situation. “Do
you think there will be Mar, Major?”
Mr. Sherman said: “Mr. Richeson, I
am afraid there will be trouble,” arid
then added, (in substance): “I have
spent many years, in the South, where
I have received only the kindest
treatment, and before I 'would fight
against those people I would lose my
right arm.” Mr. Richeson says he is
curious to know whether General
Sherman remembers this interviews
Gen. Stieriyau’sajuemoryiaaodefTec-
tlvo tliaf he may not call to mind ei
ther Mr. Richeson or the M-ords he
uttered. It would be quite in keeping
to deny them, or to say that he uttered
them, in a double sense, as he made a
false charge against Wade Hampton.
As quite pertinent in this theme,
the “World” reminds the bloody-
shirt bomb-proof M'arriorsof the Sen
ate that Jeft'erson Davis “served his
country Mell in peace and in Mar. He
won honor in the forum wounds on
the fields of battle. He served for
sixteen years in Congress, in the Sen
ate and in the Cabinet Mithout be
coming a millionaire like John Sher
man.” And that “perhaps if Mr.
Davis, instead of leading the life of a
private citizen, had lent his name,
M’hich beyond doubt has a certain in
fluence,^ a firm of Wall street brokers,
and had voted the Republican ticket,
he would have been courted by the
politicians who now hold him up as
a scarceroM' and lash themselves into
fury whenever his name is men
tioned.”
We commend these statements to
Hon. John
Life Without a Newspaper.
Some of our readers have no doubt
heard the story about the man who
once upon a time got mad at the edi
tor and stopped his paper. The next
Meek he sold his corn at 4 cents be
low the market price. Then his prop
erty was sold for taxes, because he
didn’t read the sheriff's sales. He
was arrested and fiued $8 for going
hunting on Sunday, and he paid $300
for a lot of forged notes that had been
advertised two weeks and the public
cautioned not to negotiate them. He
then paid a big Irishman, M ? ith a foot
like a forge hammer, to kick him all
the way to the newspaper office,
where lie paid four years’ subscrip
tions in advance and made the editor
sign an agreement to knock him down
and rob him if lie ever ordered his
paper stopped again. Such is life
without a newspaper.

New Cure lor Alcoholism.
The National Druggist says:
“Dr, Fleiscfri, of Vienna, declares
that morphinism, alcoholism, and
similar habits cap now bo cured rap
idly and painlessly by means of eocain
chloride. The method is very simple
—a withdrawal, either gradual or ab
rupt and complete, of the habitual in
toxicant, and treatment of the ner
vous and other symptoms which arise
thpppfrom by means of hypodermic
injections of the cocain, He claims
that in h*n 'lay* a cure may be effected
|u a«»y case. Tiie dose of cocain chlo
ride, hypodermically, is from ofte-
twelfth to one-fourth of a grain, dis
solved in M ater, repeated as often as
Accessary.”
Jf the above statement is correct, it
WPqlf} doubtless be a good plan to pass
a Jaw providing for the compulsory
treatment of the whole population of
some of our towns in this State with
this drug during Court M-eek and on
public liqlidaj’s. Such a course M ould
pave prevented the recent brutal and
deadly assault made upon Capt. W.
B* Brunson, at IMgcfield Courthouse,
by several men under tho influence
pf liquor, and would doubtless save
piany valuable lives and the commis
sion of many minor offences.
Worth Trying.
It spems that General Grant, al
though he has been an inveterate
Smoker for more than a quarter of a
pentury, consuming from ten to fifteen
cigars a day, of the strongest kind,
has recently abandoned the habit
upon the recommendation of his phy
sicians, without seriqqs difficulty or
inconvenience.
In view of this fact we think it
M’ould be a most admirable idea if
Gen. William Teoumseh Sherman
M-ould try to shake off his abomina
ble habit of telling the most wanton
and astounding lies, to the detriment
of his personal reputation and the an
noyance and confusion of his friends. ]
Although a difficult habit to shake off,
when it has reached the chronic stage,
as in Gen. Sherman’s case, yet possi
bly earnest and determined effort
might be reu arded with success. A
few utterances of the truth may shock
his nervous system at first, bqt it is
pot impossible that after repeated
trials he iqay gradually get accus
tomed to the peM’ sensation.

Question Asked.
Editor Aiken Recorder’.
I notice in the columns of your pa
per, a controversy between yourself
and Mr. B. P. Chatfield. In tw r o of
your articles you have charged that
Mr. Chatfield failed to pay his license
as a retail liquor-dealer, from a certain
date tp a certain date, and Mr. Chat
field has not iiot even attempted to
disprove the charge; therefore, it
seems to me that he has virtually
admitted the charges to be correct
and true.
In the last issue of the Journal and
Review, “Observer” comes to the
front and eulogises Mr. Chatfield, and
says he has done a great deal for the
people of this Town and County, and
that he has seen him M’hile a member
of council, take hold of a rake or hoe
1 1 iV.tt'fcu « NuA-uV.y Jp-.yjK
■srmr.—o rrcrxriwm can ‘tTe TOE good Ja\V-
abiding citizen that “Observer”
claims him to be, and yet, fail to abide
by the laws of the State, like auyother
law abiding citizen. I have no doubt
Mr. Chatfield has done a good deal for
Aiken; but has he done it without re
ward or the hope of reward? No.
When he builds up Aiken he builds
up B. P. C. also. Aiken has done
much for Mr.Cbatfield,and if 1 am cor
rectly informed is the onlj one out
of three different ventures at hotel
keeping in which he lias been success
ful. So to my mind it is very ques
tionable if Mr. B. P. C. has done more
than a small fraction of the good for
Aiken, which Aiken bus done for him.
Mr. Henry Hahn has built rows of
houses by that means,greatly enhanc
ing the value of property, but he M as
working not alone for Aiken, but for
Mr. Henry Hahn’s personal and pri
vate interests. Other men have the
interests of ihe Town at heart as much
as Mr.Chatffeld, and build houses and
improve tTTcTFYrtT ! '^^irr _ fTr^ : ^h ; y^o«H-
tributing to the general M’elfare; but
these men pay their Town and Coun
ty liquor licenses too. Mr. Chatfield
is a public spirited man, but always
has an eye open for B. P. C. I am not
a prohibitionist neither am I high li
cense man, but I am an advocate of
fair play, and I do not. think it fair
to make one man pay $300 for a retail
liquor-dealer’s license, and then
charge another $150 for the same priv
ilege. This does not seem to me to be
equal justice to all, but rather class
councUlation especially when the
original motion Mas in so many
words to give “Mr. B. P. Chatfield a
license at $150.” He saw the point,
and suggested “hotel and boarding
house-keepers,” another eye opener.
I have nothing personally against
Mr. B. P. Chatfield, though I cannot
say so politically, however, this is not
politics. If Mr. B. P. C. had paid his
license like other men, then,there nev
er would have been all this “flutter."
Come up yo charitable law-abiding
public spirited citizen, that “Observ
er” claims you to be, and paj r up your
hack license for 1881 and 1882,"ami
stop all this "notoriety" and “flutter"
business.
Now, Mr. Regohder, I would like
to ask just one question, which I
hope you M ill reply to in your next is
sue. Will the license granted Mr. B. P.
Chatfield for the Highland Park, give
him the right to sell liquor by the
drink or bottle, at the Park Avenue
Hotel? This is no snake .story, but an
important question in which every
tax-payer is interested, for if such is
permitted by our authorities it Mill
soon kill out the credit of both Town
and County.

In reply to the question of our
correspondent, m t o can answer very
emphatically that no law can be found j AH guaranteed good time pieces,

This CELEBRATED WINE is'the pTT
juice of the dead ripe Oporto Grape, raised
in Speer’s vineyards. Its invaluable
Tonic and Strengthening Properties
are unsurpassed by any other wine. Being
produced under Mr. Speer’s own personal
supervision, its purity and genuineness are
f uaranteed by the principal hospitals and
oBrds of health who have examined it.
The youngest child may partake of it, and
the weakest invalid use it tu advantage. It
is particularly beneficial to tho a^ed and
debilitated, and suited to the various ail
ments that affect the weoker sex. It is in
every respect a wine to be relied on.
Speer’s UxrfcRMEXTED Graph Juice is the
juice of the Oporto Grapes preserved in its
natural, fresh, sweet state as it runs from
the press by fumigation, thereby destroying
the exciter of fermentation. Itis perfectly
pure, free from spirits and will keep in any
climate.
Speer’s Burgundy is a dark rich medium

cases where a dry wins instead of a sweet
