The weather for the past week all over the country has been intensely cold, accompanied by much snow, sleet and rain. Aiken has had her fair share of the bad weather, but yes terday the sun shone brightly and the prospect is promising for a bright clear j repre spell.

Charged With Forgery. Dr. H. P. Tarrant, an experienced and skillful druggist, but for several years past a victim to strong drink, was committed to Newberry jail Thursday upon a warrant charging him with forging the name of Geo. O. Robinson & Co., of Augusta, to a draft, and collecting the money, $55, from Mr. Beckman, of Aiken. A dep uty sheriff came up Tuesday and carried the prisoner to Aiken, where the offence is charged to have been committed some time in 1884.—New berry Observer, \2th inst. A Da sgerous Weapon. On Thursday last Josh Goodwin, the colored boot-b ack at McCormick’s barber-shop, was seriously shot with a parlor pistol in the hands of another colored boy. The bullet imbeded itself in the frontal bone and had to be re moved by a physician. The pistol works with a spring, but nevertheless discharges a missile with great force, sufficient under , favrable circum stances to inflict death. All such im plements should be promptly confis cated when used on the streets, and the offenders severely punished, a- they furnish the means of inflicting serious damage, while the risk of de tection is slight, from the fact that they mafTe no noise.

On that morning he went to the field to plow, and at about What a Northern Visitor Says About Aiken as a Winter Resort for People with Weak Lungs. From a Letter to the Boston Herald. Comparatively few of your readers, probably, know anything of Aiken as a health resort, and yet, in a quiet, unobtrusive way, it i*building for itself a reputation that will, in the near future, be envied by the many older and more fashionable sanitaria. It is situated on a high riiige in the pine belt of the Bouth, at an altitude of 600 feet of the sea, with a popula tion of about 2,000. and by the cour tesy of Southern custom is called a city, having fulfilled the requirements of "incorporation. 1 think medical men generally understand and appre ciate its climatic advantages as a health restorer, hut, as their advice is quite properly reserved for those who seek it, publicity is not attained through them, except indirectly, as the benefited patient’s gratitude takes tiie form of philanthropy, and he be- nvi ties of air and climate. Malaria is unknown here, as no disseminating sources exist, no miasmatic swamps, no stagnant pools to poison the air with effiuvia of decaying vegetation. Indeed, the great want of the country surrounding is water, and in the town proper wells are sunk to an average depth of from 125 to 150 feet for the family supply. The soil is light and sandy to such a degree that a long rain is absorbed as it falls, and at its cessation walking is unimpeded by wet. The air of Aiken is exception ally dry and bracing, heavy dews never occur, and even moderate ones but rarely. I know nothing of air in its ozonic proportions, but I know that by its minimum or relative hu midity, it commends itself most par ticularly to the invalid whose ailment takes the form of bronchial weakness. The immediate sensation is one ol grateful change and rest to wearied lungs, and the sequel to a lengthened stay is invariably improvement, where consumption has not taken on its in curable stage. This much, as the re sult of personal observation during two seasons of wintering here, by ad vice. For the purely pleasure hunting traveller Aiken possesses no allure ments beyond the attractiveness of ii«;w scenery, or, if one is geologically inclined, an inspection of its many lined strata of soil and sands, display ed in the cuts and washouts along the line of railroad and adjacent valleys. But many a sufl'erer will gladly hail any information pointing to a possible haven of hope, undrugged in the pu rity of its atmosphere, .lust below the town are situated the kaolin mines, whence is derived the pure white clay which, under the commer cial name of terra alba, became some years since such a.“terrible tempta tion” to grinders of cheap spices, low grade candy makers and others on ac count of its weight and difficulty of detection.
