liOCAIj BREVITIES.
Mr. Brodie of Tabernacle Tov neb ip,
■waa in town yesterday, and reports a
very fine corn corp, but cotton grassy.
.Mr. It. T. Bell, of Tabernacle Totyn-
*diip, sent us yesterday the first cotton
bloom of the season. His crop is in
fine condition.
Our thanks are tendered to Mr. 8.
C. Satterwhait for a present of some
extra fine raspberries, grown on his
model farm near Aiken.
On Friday last, Willie Lebby, in
fant daughter of Hon. James Aldrich,
departed this life after a protracted
illness, an«l was buried on Saturday
ut St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church.
Joseph Oiles, colored, charged with
robbing the store of C. D. LudekensA
Son, was arrested in Charleston,
June 9th, ami will he tried at the
present term of Court.
The regular communication of the
Masonic Ijodge, will he held at the
Jxxlge room near the depot, on Thurs
day next, when the degree of fellow
craft will lie conferred. A general at
tendance Is desired.
Charles E. Platt* of Oraniteville,
brother of our esteemed friend J. C.
Platt, lias it*jt returned to his home,
offer faithful work as a student at the
Hillsboro High School, of North Caro
lina. He brings with him a gold
medal as a premium, for proficiency
in mathematics.
On Sunday last, the Aiken Meth
odist Church was crowded both morn
ing and evening. During this week
services will he held each night, con
ducted by the Pastor, Rev. W. M.
Duncan assisted by Rev. T. E. Norris
of Bamberg, and Rev. W. Wroten of
v Oranitcville. Members of other re
ligious denominations are invited to
attend.
Owing to the illness of the Rev.
I^uclus Cuthbert, no service was held
at the Aiken Baptist Church on Sun
day last. Having returned to his du
ties too soon after his catarrhal at
tack, he is suffering from high fevers-
and other troubles, which prostrate
him on a bed of painful sickness. We
hope, however, to hear very soon that
he is rapidly recovering. He is under
the medical treatment of Dr. B. F.
Wyman.
Messrs. William Roach Jr Sons,
one of the old reliable firms of Charles
ton, grace our columns this morning
with their business card. These gen-
clemeu being agents for several lines
of steamers, have extraordinary facili
ties as wholesale dealers in Rosendale
Cement, Eastern and Nortli River Hav
and General Merchandise. This firm
is of such long standing high repu
tation that an endorsement at our
hands would l>e absolutely superfluous
Citizens of Aiken, and the adjoining
counties are particularly requested to
read their handsome double column
advertisement, and write for what
they want, which will be promptly
supplied at prices as low as the articles
can possibly be sold.
A Handsome Compliment.
At a recent meeting of the Ameri
can Horticultural Rociety held at New
Orleans, Da., Mr. 8. C. Satterwhait
of Aiken, was elected vice-president
for South Carolina. We are happy to
record so handsome a compliment to
an Intelligent and deserving Aiken
former.
* Important Change.
In accordance with the unanimous
recommendation of the vestry, the
Rev. E. C. Edgerton, rector of St.
Thaddeus Episcopal Church, an
nounced on Sunday last, that here
after the Sunday-school will be held
in the afternoon at 5 p. m., and the
second Church service at 8:80 p. m.,
instead of in the afternoon.
W. C. T. U.
The members of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, are re
quested to assemble at the Aiken
Baptist Church this afternoon, at
half-past five o’clock. A general at-
tendenec is particularly desired, as
the annual election of ofilcers will be
held and other important business
transacted.

Augusta Chronicle, June 12th.
Some weeks ago a very line cow in
this city gave birth to triplets. The
three calves lived and thrived. They
were heifers and should have been
allowed to live as curiosities, if noth
ing else. We regret to learn that the
owner sold them for slaughter. One
lias been killed and sold for veal.
Who will care to save the twins which
are of first class blood?
Attempted Burglary.
On Thursday night last an attempt
was made by burglars to enter the
residence of Maj. Jus. E. Croslrtnd, by
removing the slats from a shutter.
Fortunately a pane of glass was
broken, the noise of which aroused
one of the Major’s sons, who immedi
ately came down stairs, ami the
would-be-thloves effected their es
cape. Housekeepers cannot he too
careful in securing doors and windows
before retiring.
More New SubserlUors.
During the past week tlie-fidiowing
new subscribers have been added to
our list: I from Vaucluse, 2froui Aik< n
and 3 from •’in ls< r. Though only
little more than one-fourth as many as
last week, yet still a nice little rein
forcement. We extend a hearty wel
come to all new subscribers, and feel
sure that at the end of the year they
will consider a subscription to The
A>kix Rkcohdku one of the best in
vestments they have ever made.

Court ofCcncral Session.
The Criminal Court of Aiken Connty 1
convened yesterday at 10 o’clock.
Judge A. I*. Aldrich presiding. Ow
ing to the continued illness of Solici
tor Gantt, O. C. Jordon, Esq. W:ts ap
pointed to take his place. The Judge
in his charge to tbe Grand Jury, call- !
ed particular attention to the repeated
instances of criminal negligence on I
the part of the parents, referring espe
cially to the locking up of child
ren by themselves during the absence j
of their protectors, and a’so to the
careless handling of concentrated lye, 1
a frequent cause of death among color-;
ed children. He remarked that such j
cases should be looked into, and aj
charge of manslaughter preferred.
After some further remarks in regard j
to school matters and the careful per- j
formance of their duties, the Jury re
tired t<* their room in charge of va-
rious bills of indictment. The Petit
Juries were then organized. In our
next issue we will give a full list of
ca^es tried during the week, and such
other matters of interest as may oc
cur.
Col. C.E. Sawyer is in his place as
court stenographer, assisted by Mr.
Van Patten, as his health continues
delicate. Mr. George* Bates of the
Barnwell Bar is the only visiting law
yer thus far. The Judge announced
that the hours of Court will be from
10 a. m. to 4 p. m. without intermis
sion. There is only one murder case
on the docket that being left over
from the last Court. The crowd in
attendance is not large as the farmers
are busy with their crops.
VAirCEUSE ITEMS.
Testimony in Favor Hard Worker.
The following letter with the en
closed newspaper clipping, will be
read with much pleasure by the nu
merous friends of the Rev. Lucius
Cuthbert, when we mention that it is
from a highly intelligent Christian
gentleman:
Charleston', June 12, 1885.
Col. Chat. E. R. Drayton, Aiken Re
corder, Aiken, S. C.:
Dear Sir: The News and Courier
publisliad from your paper, of the se
vere catarrhal fever Mr. Cuthbert had,
while in a cobrse of rivival meetings at
Aiken. Then a young lady on a visit
there was converted under his preach
ing, and came down and was baptised
in our church, Citadel Square Baptist
Church. I am glad tiiat he is better
again, and hope he will be well enough
to speak at the Limestone’s Springs
Female College. 1 clipped the en
closed from a paper, and they are true
of Mr. Cuthbert, for as a man and a
preacher, lie has few equals in my
poor humble opinion.
Very truly yours.
* *
Here is the clipping alluded to:
“The preacher of to-day must be a
two-sided man standing in living com
munion with Christ and at the same
time in vital sympathy with the peo
ple. He gets the truth from Christ,
and likea physician, feels the pulse of
suffering humanity to find its needs.
He assimilates the gospel to himself
and lets it spring life-like from his
soul, uttered with the tones of /</>
voice and stumped with his individu
ality.”
Attention Farmers.
We call particular attention to the
Portable Fruit and Vegetable Dryer
advertised by Mr. H. F. Warneke,
in tliis issue of The Aiken Recor
der. This labor saving contrivance
is specially adapted to the wants of
every farmer who owns an .orchard.
Its great recommendations are 1st
portability, ad mitting of its convenient
transfer to any point. 2nd cheapness,
costing only from $30 to $50 according
te size, 3rd cleanliness, as it produces
dry fruit of a beautiful clear color,
ami free from insect contamina-
Con or dirt of any kind, 4th
expedition, as it does Its work thor
oughly and beautifully in a few hours
where it would take days and weeks
by the sun process, and then the fruit
would be dark and full of fly specks
and other insect contamination, 5th
the superior flavor of the fruit, and
the largely increased price obtained for
the same.
Mr. Warneke presented to us
samples of dried apples and peaches
looking as white, clean and tempting
as possible, dried by the Monarch in
a few hours, and right alongside sam
ples of the same dried in the ordinary
manner, that looked by comparison so
dark and repulsive that it seemed
strange to us that fruit should be dried
in any other way than by the Monarch
Fruit and Vegetable Dryer. We also
saw berries dried by the same ma
chine that possessed a freshness and
cleanlines of appearance altogether
different from anything we have ever
seen in the way of dried fruit.
Read the advertisement carefully
and call on Mr. H. F. Warneke at his
store, corner of Laurens St. and Park
Avenue,for one of these grand labor sav
ing machines, which will enable j’ou to
realize a handsome nroflit on your
orchards. Remember unit the fruit you
annually suffer to rot on the ground
for want of the ability to market, can
be made to pay a handsome revenue
by buying Warneke’s Monarch Porta
ble Fruit and Vegetable Dryer,
Exhibition of the Aiken Academy.
Editor Aiken Recorder:
Aiken, S. C\, June 13th, 1885.
As announced through the press last
week, the Aiken High School will
give an exhibition in Lyceum Hall,
on Thursday evening, 25th inst., at
8:30 o’clock.
The exercises will be some what
varied, consisting of declamations,
dialogues, songs, etc.
There being, of course, various in
cidental expenses connected with the
exhibition, such as rent of hall, rent
of a piano, and the printing of pro
gramme, it is thought by some of the
patrons, advisable that an admission
feeof 25 cents for adults, and ten cents
for children should be charged. We
solicit a full turn out of our friends,
and promise to give Ibem as much
enjoyment as possible. Let each one
remember that in coming out and
paying a small fee, ho will be contri
buting to a long and deeply felt need
in Aiken, namely, the building up of
a good school for the training and
culture of th*' white children of our
community.
We hope to realize a handsome sum
from the exhibition, for the Academy
building is very sadly in need of
repairs, and especially are student’s
desks needed, towards which every
cent of the money not used in defray
ing the expenses of the exhibition
will go. Very respectfully,
Jxo. R, Mack,
Principal.
Miildam Repaired—Contract for a
Stone Culvert Awarded at Auction
to Dowest Hidder—Health of \ai-
cluse.—Death ot a Citizen
Vatcluse, S. June 11, 1885.
Editor Aiken Recorder:
Dear Sir: The miildam that was
washed away so badly a short time
ago, has been rebuilt, and we now
have a full head of water in both of
the large and magnificieut ponds.
The washout in the railroad has also
been filled up, but the railroad along
Horse Creek P»nd still needs mo.e
work badly.
The new bridge across the Good
Spring Creek, in Vaucluse, just built
last summer is still regarded unsafe by
the County Commissioners, who have
decided to tear it down and build a
rock culvert and then fill up with
dirt.
On last Wednesday, County Com
missioners S. W. Woodruff and Mur
ray, met a dozen or move men here,
and after some discussion regarding
the bridge, culvert, eic., proceeded to
let the building of the rock culvert out
to the lowest bidder, Mr. Murray act
ing auctioneer. There was on’y
three bids made, one for seven huu-
dollars, one for six hundred and fifty
and then Mr. C. T. Johnson of Grau-
iteville, bid six hundred and twenty-
five dollars and the contract was given
him. Mr. May hew of Columbia, (I
think) came to bid for the contract
hut as his lowest estimate was fifteen
hundred dollars, he put up his paper
and pencil and left immediately with-
>ut making a single bid.
Our most excellent County Com
missioner S. W. Woodruff, had the
Aiken road worked in good order
from this place to Bridge Creek last
week with the assistance of the new
overseer Mr. Hiram Webb of Vau-
cluse.
There is not very much sickness in
Vaucluse at present, wo have several
cases of disentery.
Mrs. Edney Berry, died here yester
day at 0 o’clock, and was hurried this
afternoon at 4 o’clock, in Vaucluse
cemetery. The religious ceremonies
were conducted by Rev. J. B. Birg-
man of this place.

They are annoying, painful, and some
