to see the numerous short coinings of
which poor paid humanity is contin-
! ually guilty. The services of prayer
' and singing were very interesting, and
two applicants came forward for ad

The writer of these lines was so de
lightfully entertained by the people

aud Sunday services. In spite of tiie
threatening clouds and vivid lighten
ing a large congregation assembled
in the evening at half past eight
o’clock, barely in time to escape a
drenching rain.
Again this eloquent servant of
the cross held forth in burning
words, to awaken the hearts
and minds of the unbelieving
and call sinners to repentance.
His sermon was taken from Mark,
10th chapter and 47th verso. Just be
fore the close of the interesting ser
vice, tiie ruin which had been descend
ing in torrents entirely ceased, which
pormitted every one to return home
as comfortably as he came. On
Sunday morning a very large congre
gation assembled coining from both
Aiken and Barnwell Counties. At
ten o’clock the Sunday-school exer
cises commenced, presided over bj‘
Mr. W. T. Scott superintendent of tiie
school, who carries to his work an
earnestness and zeal, that impresses
every one with whom he is associated.
Tho Bible-class was instructed by
the pastor. The attendence was large
and the singing excellent though un
assisted by any instrument.
At li o’clock the church services
were commenced. The Rev. Mr.
Buist was the only Clergyman present
but was assisted by Mr. ft. W. MeEl-
more who led in prayer. Mr. Buist
preached from tiie 21st verse of the
13th chapter of Jeremiah. It was a
Hue pecimen of pulpit oratory, logical
in its deductions and abounding in
pathetic passages which evidently
produced a strong impression as at its
conclusion ten came forward seeking
the prayers of the comgregation and
admission to the church. This ser
mon was a splehdid effort, and if
space permited, we would gladly re
produce some of its finest passages.
After tiie sermon the Sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper was administered and
the meeting was aterwards dismissed
witli the benediction. t Uuable to re
main longer, we reluctantly turned
our back on this interesting meeting,
and took the evening train for Aiken.
In conclusion we take pleasure in
saying that the White Pond Church is
one of the neatest and best cared for
pieces of church property in Aiken
County. Unlike many country
churches, it is neatly painted inside
and outside, is well lighted, having a
pretty ohandeleir of four lights in the
center with lights around the
walls. The fittings of the pulpit are
neat and appropriate, and the seats
comfortable and the church and its
Diitivo bear. Btrikcin*;

duet, “ Cheerfulness,” by Misses Oak-
Icy and Quinn, which was encored.
Mr. W. H. Ashley, of the Aiken Bar,
recited in a natural way the poem
“Jim Bledsoe,” this was received with
applause, Miss Oakley song a solo,
“Three Students,” which was ap
plauded^ and then Miss Ettie Estill, a
deaf mute, recited the Lord’s Prayer.
Her motions where quite graceful and
gave us a new interpretation of the
proverb, “Actions speak louder than
words.” After Dr. Ashley sung a solo,
entitled “Thy Face,” there was an in
termission of thirty minutes, during
which refreshment where bountifully
served. Then came the carnp scene,
which was received with thunders of
applause. The fair soldiers were in
reu uniforms trimedVith brown linen,
they were very beautiful, and we are
sure that their appearance was alone
sufficient to capture all the boys.
Their drilling reflected credit both on
themselves and Lieut. Oakley, and
we doubt not that they even surpassed
the drilling of the Palmetto Rifles.
But we would suggest to Captain Wil
liams that he select a squad of his
handsomest young men to have a
competitive drill with them. After
the arill was over, the Misses Oakley
and Quinn, ami Messrs. Oakley and
McEwen snug a quartette, entitled
“The Night Bird’s Whisper.” After
which there was a broom auction and
the entertainment closed. Young la
dies and gentlemen from the sur
rounding country, Beech Island and
Illackville were present, and there
was a very large and select audience.
The proceeds will bo used to assist
in the purchase of an organ for tiie
Aiken Baptist Church, and Miss
Eunice Brown and other ladies in
terested have every reason to feel
gratified at the splendid resultof their
industrious and intelligent efforts.

Protracted Meeting at Matlock.
Tiie protracted meeting at Matlock
Church, Silverton Township, closed
on Friday, July 10th, after a most in
teresting ami pleasant meeting. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
Arthur Buist pastor, ii.>,.ii.i..il
RevTF. Joncy^of Beech Island. Three
were added to tiie membership of the
Church by baptism and one by restora
tion.
Within tiie past few months con
siderable interest lias been manifested
by tins congregation in the improve
ment of their Church property. The
pulpit and altar have been put in line
order, and a handsome mohair sofa
provided, comfortable seats have been
furnished for the worshippers and tiie
aisles have been newly carpeted, be
sides this, oilier improvements are in
conic in plalion. This is a healthy sign
and speaks well for both pastor and
membership.
Buggy Accident.
On Sunday morning last, Miss Ma
mie Gaston, eldest daughter of John
T, Gaston, our popular Probate Judge
while out riding in a buggy accom
panied by Mary Warren a servant in
the employ of Mr, Gaston, was
thrown from the vehicle near tiie Cath
olic Church, ami sustained several
cuts and bruises which though pai: -
ful are not serious. The servant girl
was thrown across the top of the fence
of the Catholic Church yard, and re
ceived more painful injuries, none of
which however, are considered se
rious. The accident was caused by
the breaking of the iron which con
nects the shafts to the buggy. The
shafts dropped on tiie horses heels
making him unmanageable,
fortunate tiie accident did not
more serious!}’.
The Katlromlers Get a Black Eye.
On Saturday afternoon, July 11th,
1885, a meeting of the Clear Water
Democratic Club was held, with Mr.
David Plunkett as Chairman and Mr.
L. C. Ligou as Secretary.
The object of tho meeting was to
discuss tiie question of raising funds
by taxation for tiie building of the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chi
cago Railroad. Addresses were made
by Col. G. W. Croft and Hon. James
Aldrich in favor of the railroad tax,
and Messrs. Henry Halm and E.
Somer made statements—in opposi
tion. At the close of the discussion
tbe following resolutions were passed
with only two dissenting voices.
“Itcsolved 1st. That we are unaltera
bly opposed to the building of railroads
by public taxation.
'RrHalved 2nd. That while we have
no objection to the building of the
" railroad known as the Caro-
Cuniberia^^^.
ny private subscriptions of citizens of
said Township, we are opposed most
emphatically to a forced subscription
by public taxation as a wrong upon the
poor men of this Township, and as a
wrong upon any taxpayer who objects
to tliis kind of taxation.
Resolved 3rd. That tne tax propos
ed for aiding said railroad will bo too
burdensome upon ns, and we state
that most of us who signed the peti
tion for the calling of an election in
tliis matter, did so under a misappre
hension ami a misrepresentation of
the debt, it would put upon the tax
payers of this Township.
Resolved 4th: That tiie Secretary
of tliis Club do furnish copies of these
resolutions to The Aiken Recorder
aud Aiken Journal and Review and
request that same be published, as we
wisii all men to know where we stand
on this question of taxation.”
The tax asked for is five percent, of
the taxable property of the township,
which it is estimated will raise about
forty-five or fifty thousand dollars.
Those favorable to the tax contend
that tho railroad will so increase the
value of property, that tiie rate per
cent, will bo decreased after the first
assessment. Those opposed contend
that this additional tax upon their re
sources will so injure the value of
property, tiiat the rate per cent, will
be increased to eight or ton per cent.
Thus the matter stands and thus far
the anti-tax men seem to have tho in
side track, holding hard on an easy
gallop,
the grass down. Tiie corn prospect is
certainly very fine, and cotton
than usual at this season—as a gen
erality, all clean and in good order to
meet a drought, if one should come.
All of which makes the farmers hope
ful and cheerful—ami a little-inclined
to have some fun; so on Friday the
3rd, some ten or a dozen of us started
for Simpkiu’s Mill for a fish fry—
picking up on the way Lish and Hen,
at Simkin’s Mill, the fish bit slowly
and we pulled up lines and dropped
down to Maj. Harry Hammond’s
Mill, where we found old man Jim
aud Son, aud Couch and McDuff pull
ing the bream right and left, all hands
then put in except the old King and
old man Jim, who were detailed to
string fish ami hand round the bai
ami they did bite bully. Mostly bream,
as wide as a plate, now and then a red
belly. At 12 o’clock all bands met at
the branch for dinner, with an abun
dance of fish for any body. Lish led
tiie party in the catch, having a dou
ble incentive, ho had promised to car
ry a mess to one of Georgia’s fair
daughters, “which lie did.”
Jim and the King went to scaling,
and Reuben and McDuff to disem
bowelling. In tiie absence of a cook,
Cooch flung his coat for the task and
was just cleaning out the skillet, when
to his agreeable surprise, an old
friend of his came to tiie rescue, in tiie
person of one Bluer Hornsby, who is
said to be the crack cook of Hollow
Creek, she soon had things going on
alright. The old King asked her if
she was a good cook, to which she in
dignantly replied, hi bukra, how you
talk, ent I bin cook for all dem—Aiken
Geinmen, Laryer Craft, ami Alrich
and Shiriff Holley and Jedg William.
As the boys had about filled a half
bushel pan of clean fish, tiie subject of
an appetizer was discussed—a pony
purse made up, and Lish and Hen be
ing considered safe men, were dis
patched to Silver Bluff for a half gallon
of Dave Howard’s Mellow Rose.
They returned in two hours which
to some of tiie party seemed like six,
with the desired condiment. The ar
ticle was smelt and tasted without
reserve, and pronounced good.
Tho brown bream were then put on
tiie board, each man averaged three,
someas higli as live, and we wound
up ou Son’s pound cake and good
coffee. Pipes and segars were then in
order and eacli man with a cushion or
root under ids head laid him down to
rest and talk. Biner’s reward was
aw eagle quarter, two smells of Dave’s
condiment and all tiie fragments, and
with many thanks she left us some
what exhilirated, singing “shew fly
don’t bodder me.” At <> o’clock we
struck for home, raiding Coon Bohler’s
water melon patch on the way of live
nice rattle snakes.
Saturday was Club day and the 4th
of July, we had a large attendance, a
goodly number of visitors, an interest
ing discussion on tbe grain crop, and
Charley Bimpkin’s gave us a stun
ning dinner, worthy of himself and
the occa-ion.
Next Thursday some of the boys
will take their families to the mouth of

Editor People:
Please allow me to correct your re
port of my words at Wiiliston. What
I did say to the colored people was
“that the Lord gave to them and their
race the one blessing tiiat came out of
slavery, and that blessing was the
power to work, and never to say they
were poor, never think they were too
poor to educate their children; while
they had health to hold a plow handle,
or do the work which had to be done
in tho world.” The one principal that
for years I have taught in school and
out of school has been respect for la
bor with the hands, and what stronger
proof is needed than tiie fact tiiat one
of pur graduates is now the cook in
house, and us soon as we can raise
tiie funds we shall have a cooking
school, as part of our teaching is to
“wash, scrub and scour,”’ believing
that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

body is feeling better to-day.
VaucJuse is still comparatively

spring does great good for tiie people
of Vaucluse, as It is certainly one of
the best mineral springs iu the State.
The v-ater is very pure, clear and al
most as cold as ice water.
The Mill is still running on full
time, and making better cloth than
it has for several years, and the over
seers are still striving to make the
cloth better if possible.
