In view of the fact that an election vriii be held on Thuraday next in the Town of Aiken, on a question concern- Ing which deep feeling is said to exist, we have determined to discharge our duty in behalf of “God.aud Home, and Native I .and,” in the humble sphere allotted to woman,by being present in close proximity to the polls, for the purpose of furnishing refreshing colfee and wholesome bread, vnthout money, and without price, to all who will apply to us. Remember that it will be a pleasure for us to serve you, and we ask nothing in return, save that you will bring no pocket flasks on the ground, and that at least for tliis one day, vou will abstain from the deadly fascination of the poison ous dram cup. Dear friends, we beseech you by all that jyou hold dear botli in this and the world to come, to accept our wholesome refreshment and grant ■our simple request. By the love which you bear your wives and your children, and the honor of your noble Old Carolina Mother, we implore you to plant yourselves under ourTemper- ance Banner, at least for thisjone day. Dear friends and Fellow Citizens, we feel that we require no protection in the midst of our own Carolina brothers, but we appeal to every in stinct of your noble generosity and manly chivalry to aid us in every pos sible way, to carry out our work for the honor of God, for the welfare of ■our beloved State and beautiful Town, and for the happiness of the dear ones who nestle at your firesides and look to you for love and protection.

Remember a cordial invitation is ex tended to all to partake of our simple and wholesome refreshment without money and without price. Very respectfully,. Mrs. Ciias. E. R. Drayton, Pres. Mrs. Lucius Cuthbert, Sec. Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Total I,oss of Mr. W. S. Pope’s New Resilience. On Sunday last between the hours of 12 and 1 ©’clock in the day, smoke and flames were observed by Mr. George Williams, issuing from the second story, back room of the resi dence of Mr. W. S. Pope, situated just outside the corporate limits and to the south of Aiken. The alarm was given and many of the neighbors soon appeared on the scene, and proceeded at once to save the furniture; 3 wagon loads of valuable furniture including a piano valued at *4o0 were saved and hauled off by wagons of Messrs. Cuthbert, Williams and Busch, and stored in a cottage on the farm of the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, which has been kindly placed at the disposal of Mr. Pope for the use of nimself and family. Tire house, a two story frame building, neatly flnished inside and outside, was totally consumed by the flames. Nothing was left but the brickwork. The property was insured in the London and Globe and the Conti nental insurance Companies, at the agency of Mr. W. M. Hutson for $3,288, placed as follows: $1,500 on the building and 1,788 on the furniture. At the time the Are was discovered Mr. Pope and his wife were returning home from Church. We understand that a little servant girl, aged about tifteen, and Mr. Pope's infant were the only persons left on the premises during Mr. andMrs. Pope’s absence at Church, except the tenants on the farm wiio were located at some dis tance otr. Mr. Pope was to have moved to New Jersey in a few days, to take situation in a pulp manufactory, and had rented out his :urm, with the ex ception of the house and three acres of land adjoining, which was adver tised for rent in the last issue of The Recorder. Since writing the above Mr Pope has called at our office,and informed ust hat he lost all the clothing of himself and family and all the second story/urn i ture, except a trunk of silverware and a few other articles.

On Wednesday evening the Pal metto Rifles will hold a meeting to decide whether they will attend the State Fair. ^ A Daring: Fox Invades the Town. On Thursday night last the family of John Mays, a colored man, who resides on Pendletonistreet, was dis turbed by a noise among the chickens which caused Mays to rush for his fowl house, meeting on the way a large fox making his escape to the street before he had time to arrest his retreat. Securing his fowl house as best he could he returned to his bliss- full slumbers, but alas! in less than thirty minutes he was again aroused by the same noise which caused him to arise with all the agility that a fat man could muster, and rush to the scene of battle, with a heavy club. Arrived at tlie battle ground, a won drous combat met his astonished gaze for there he beheld his favorite pet a large Plymouth Rock Rooster, engag ed in a deadly struggle with Reynard. With a shout of victory his heavy club descended upon the midnight marrauder, breaking his leg and causing him instantly to release the poor Plymouth Rock. The fox Was soon dispatched and exhibited next morning to the admiring neighbors as a rare trophy for a fat man and peacable restuarunt keeper to capture. Upon the Held of battle it was found that the fox had killed six chickens, but that the petted rooster had escaped with only slight injury. Mays is thought to have grown six inches taller, and twelve inches stouter in ■ the girth since his agile and dexterous perform ance. We are imformed bv farmer friends from the Country that they have never known the foxes so nu merous as they are this year. ( Sunday wa* a lovely day attendance ta all the church ■gt'^Vhnrcl crowded ant laptist Church was Hide not you-f light under a bushel, but tell the penple what you have to sell through the columns of The Aiken Recorder. r Trade is brightening and the mer chants who wish to get their fair share of custom should advertise liberally in Thb Recorder. Messrs. Jas. L. QninbyA Co., of Granitcvillo, have on hand a splendid stock of goods which they are selling at most reasonable prices. They are doing aline business and we are glad of it. We have authority for stating that by order of the Intendant and Town Council the barrooms will be closed on election day. This is as it should be and we commend our municipal administration for this step in behalf of law and order. We are glad to learn from a postal dated Hot Springs, Arkansas, receiv ed at this office, that Col. C. E. Saw yer, Stenographer for this judicial circuit, is improving in health and that he will return next month, to his home in Aiken County. Subscribers in arrears to The Aiken Recorder, should remember that we have been patient, and that they can select no better time than the present for the liquidation of their small ac counts.

The Solemn Ordinance of Baptism by Immersion. t The imftreslveordinance of BatUism wasTtgJffn ad min isle red at the Baptist Church on Sunday last. This time five person, three ladies and two young men were the recipteuts of the solemn rite admin istered by the hands of the pastor Rev. Lucius Cuthbert. This makes eight persons brought into tho Chris tian fold os the fruits of the recent protracted meeting conducted by the Rev. Cuthbert, assisted by Rev, Gal- phio, and concluded on .Thursday evening last. After the* Baptism Mr. Cuthbert preached a sermon nearly an hour long, a most unusual thing for him, as he seldom exceeds thirty minutes. From end to end it contained those living, burning truths of personal Christianity whicli every one present could carry home, and ponder over in their closets with profit, while engaged in rigid selfexamination We shall not attempt to give even a synopsis of this splendid effort. The house was crowded; let every one anal- ize and apply tlie discourse forliimself. It is a pleasant thing to see our earnest eloquent friend, reaping a rich har vest of human souls from the seed he has so carefully sown for the Master, and prayerfully nourished with tireless self-sacrifloing industry. God will bless him,and the sheep com mitted to his care will venerate his memory, long after his # ashes have mouldered into dust. More than this no man dare hope for. commenced on Friday night, but ow ! ing to the death of the youngest son . of the pastor Rev. A. Buist, he did j not arrive until Saturday. After the morning service, an appeal was made by the pastor for tlie endow ment of the Furman University and notwithstandibg the congregation was small, $26 was subscribed. At the evening service a young lady was re ceived for baptism. On Sunday not withstanding the rain, a small congre- tion turned out and the regular ser vices were held, and after the services were closed, it was ascertained that a gentleman in the congregation wish ed to unite with the church. The congregation were called to their seats, and he came forward and was received. At 4 p. m. just as the pastor was going into the water to baptise the two, he received informa- tion that another was on the way. Waiting for the arrival of the third applicant, he baptised the three, while the spectators were being sprinkled. The sprinkling was from above. On Monday last, a negro while out banting near here, killed a rattle snake live-feet long carrying seven teen rattles. This is tlie second of these “venomous beasts” that have been killed in this immediate vicinity within the last few weeks. The first was killed in Mr. J. H. Miller’s yard. _Early on Tuesday morning, a dog, thought to he mad, passed through our place, and bit several of the capine pets. Owners of the dogs bitten will I suppose await developments. Some will be sure to wait too long. Mr. H. W. Scott has been appointed one of the Board of School Trustees for Windsor School District, vice J. N. Mr. Scott is an buisness man and w ill fill the position well. School Commis sioner Harley could not have made a better selection, and the people of Windsor Township, may expect a continuance of fair and impartial ad ministration in school matters. Capt W. D. Bush is in school again after a weeks indisposition, and many of our citizens are missing a good opportuni ty of advancing tlie interests of their children, by neglecting to place them under the Captain’s instructions. I suppose when “free school” opens they will avail themselves of the priv ilege of free tuition. The weather is cool and bracing, and already its salutary effects are visible in the movements of every one. Oui enterprising and popular neigh- P. Q. McCreary is spoken of in con nection with the sheriffalty of Aiken at the next election. Paul is well qualified to fill the position, and would fill it with honor to himself ami the County. He is a man of whole measures,never undertaking anything to fail. His many friends in the County will be glad to know that he has consented for his name to go be fore the public in the next canvass.

I notice in the last issue of Thb Recorder, a letter over the signa ture of “Citizen,” copied from tht Charleston News and Courier, ii which that correspondent rebukes th« editor of tlie Journal and Review, for his uncalled for editorial, laying tbt blood of Senator Moore, of Anderson, at the door of the prohibitionists of this State. Having read and enjo3 T ed the letter of “Citizen.” it affords me pleasure to say that I and many others with whom I have conversed, heartily agree with “Citizen” in his well-written and justly severe rebuke of an insulting and unfair editorial. * Adi.

This magnificent grape has been introduced into Aiken County at an expense of $22,(XX). by Mr. 8. C. Sat- terthwait, who has 17 acres under beautiful cultivation, which havb this their third year made a handsome re turn of profit. As an evidence of the great favor with which these grapes are received, we copy the following oztraets: P. N. Grefo, wholesale dealer in fruits, New York City, August 29th, 1885: “I have had the pleasure of handling quite a large lot of ‘Niagara’ grapes this season, and find it to bef/tc coming grope. Those coming through in good order brought 25 tf 30 cts, per pound, shipped by freight from 8. C. fvitterthwait, from Aiken, 8. C. Let me know wife re new vineyards are located. I want the fruit for this market.” “Pancoast & Griffiths, general pro duce Com., Philadelphia, Pa., write, Aug. 8th, 1885, to inquire whereto some of your white grapes? common 'dark grapes hardly pay shipping from Georgia. We want more fancy fruit for our fancy fruit custom and higher prices.” Mr. S. C. Satterthwait is an author ized agent for the sale of this valuable grape, and will soon advertise the merits of his wonderful grape in the columns of The Aiken Recorder. Miss Minnie Berry is attending the Tubman High School in Augusta. Mr. James Edwards will come out next week, in the colors and new uni form of the Richmond Academy Au gusta, Ga., being a student there this year. J. F. Baker and lady are visiting relatives in this place for the past week. • Miss Lilly Watts died on Thursday, of consumption after a long and ling ering illness. Among the saddest deaths lately was that of little Lonnie Gunter, he was the idolized child of his parents, and was sick only two days. When he was called home to the “bourne from whence no traveller returns.” His re mains together with his little cousin, Keller Woodward, who died a short time before ho did, are being interred in a handsome vault which is being built in the Woolley Cemetary.

For reasons which at least some of our Readers can appreciate this voluntary act of Mr. duniucl Giles is peculiarly gratifying. A Kplcntlitl Organization. Tho Graniteville Division of Sons of Temperance is one of the strongest and most enthusiastic Divisions in the State. It occupies a graud field of labor, and it affords us sincere pleas ure to note that tlie Rev. W. H. Wrot en is re-enforcing those brave anti in telligent laborers, J. C. Platt and Dr. J. H. Burnett, Mr. Wroten is tlie present Worthy Patriarch and the Di vision is constantly increasing in strength and usefulness. If the Chris- tain ministry only properly appreci ated their immense influence in pro moting this grand work, we feel sat isfied that everyone of them would be an enthusiastic worker. That any one of them should willfullv and stub bornly withhold his hand from the plougii is something inconsistent with the mission of his exulted pro- feesion. Railroad Meetings. On Friday evening last the Railroad paity held a public meeting at the Town Hall. The Hall was full, but not more than twenty-five or thirty white persons were present. Tlie meeting was organized with Dr. P. G. Rockwell as Chairman and W. H. Hutson as Secretary. Addresses were delivered in favor of the railroad by Col. G. W. Croft, Dr. T. G. CrMt, Dr. B. H. Teague, aud Messers James Powell, Rhodenbach oud Bardeen. Another meeting was held last night. The anti-railroaders have held no pub lic meetings. Cored ion.

The decorations were very striking and in perfect taste, and were univer sally admired. Conspicuous among them was a portrait of Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes, who banished wine from the while house during her hus band’s term as president. There was also an engraving of the supreme council of the temperance Council of America, the original temperance organization of this country, with Judge O’Neal, of this Btate, deliver ing an oration before it. The portrait of Mrs. Hayes was presented to the State union bv a member of the Greenville union in memory of a dead friend. Another prominent decoration was a beautiful shield composed of cotton, rice, pine burrs, grey moss, needles of the long leaf pine, shells of the coast and sycamore balls, the products of every section of the State, and having worked on it in palmetto the initials of the Union and tho name of the Statu. In the centre the white ribbon badge of the organization was mount ed on the seal of tlie State as evidence that the ladies are as'patriotic as they are devoted to temperance and hold the Temperance union aud their State as equal iu their affections. The shield is a duplicate of that exhibited at the Now Orleans exposition and is a beautiful work of art. There were also portraits of Miss Willard, Governors Colquiit and St. John auil Neal Dow, ami the motto of the Union in this State was inclosed in a circle of ever-green links—one for each of the local Uuions iu this State and bearing its name, The convention was composed of 45 members representing 12 counties, 20 local Unions aud 1,350 members. Mrs. Chapin presided. Letters were read from Dr Carlisle, Dr Ciias.Manly, Dr. Lander, Dr. Grier, the Rev. J. O. Wilson, the Rev. Mr. Chrietzberg, the Rev. Mr Cuthbert, Col. C. E. R. Drayton. Gov. Perry, Gov. Thompson and other distinguished gentlemuu. Tlie convention was a business like body and disposed of its business easi ly and rapidly, leaving nothing un done aud closing with what the law yers would call “a clean docket.” The reports showed the organization in this State to be active and prosper ous and in better condition tor effec tive work than ever belore. Miss Stokes, of Georgia, who was present, gave au encouraging account of the work and condition of the Union in that State, aud comparison of the re ports shows that the South Carolina women are not lie least behind their Georgia sisters. The most important action taken was the division of the State Union into five districts each of which will hold its own quarterly meetings and be presided over by its own district officer elected by tlie State convention and ranking as a vice-president of that body.

The visitors are delighted with their reception and speak in warm terms of the hospitality and kindness of the people of Greenville, and the ladies of the local Union are much gratified by their success in entertaining their guests and the work accomplished. Tlie public meeting last night was attended by another largo crowd. Dr. Grier, of Due West, made an eloquent and very effective speech for temperance and prohibition and was followed by H. G.
