The popularity of tills reliable house is too great in Aiken and the adja cent cour'tiej, to make it necessary for us to do more than state that their stock is up to its usual high standard, ami that their old rule of making truthful repre sentations and selling at fair prices is still rigidly adhered to.

White Pond Quarterly Meeting. On Sunday last we attended service at White Pond Baptist Church, where ‘a three days quarterly meeting been in progress since Friday 9th Large congregations dance each day, and were large had Inst, in atten- nunibers responded to the eloquent pleadings of their beloved pastor, the Rev. Arthur Buist, and presented them selves for the prayers of the church, and several additions by restoration have been made to the membership. The meeting throughout was blessed with unusual interest. The Sumlay- pchool under the intelligent and faith ful management of Buperintendent Hcott, is in a prosperous condition and doing a splendid work. During our stay, we were the recipient of that cordial hospitality for which the .Citizens of White Pond are justly fatuous. A trip to this neighborhood is always greatly enjoyed by the Edi tor of The Record kk, and our only regret is that we eaunot find the time to go oftener. • The Citizens' Disbursement Commis sion. the last few years than was now en- g. god in the business. In the course of his remarks he said: ‘‘I was told in the town « f Aiken, the other day that the farmer’s movement would come to nothing. They said that lawyers and merchants have the County and Town. Now Mr. Chair man we don’t wish to interfere with the lawyers or the merchants. We want them to have all that is theirs, hut Aiken County is not theirs and they ought not to have it.” At the conclusion cf Major Ham mond’s speech, a motion was made .that a committee of one'from each delegation he appointed to report business for the action of the conven tion. Mr. Janies .Moseley then rose and explained that the townships with the exception of tl.e Beech Island Club, were not represented by dele gations, and moved that the commit tee be appointed by the chairman to consist of one from each township. Some member then suggested that the members of the convention be enroll ed by townships. This, however, was not done, but after several motions, tiie committee was at last obtained by calling the townships, when some one on the fioor of the house called out a name for that township and his name was enrolled as a member of the committee. The committee thus ob tained consisted as follows: Aiken, R. D. Wade; Chinquapin, T. R. Wniiams; Giddy Swamp, no repre sentation; Gregg, Charles Pardue; Hammond, Mstj. Harry Hammond; Millbrook, J. V. George; Me Tier, no representation; Rocky Grove, D. H. Salley ; Rocky Spring, no representa tion; Silverton, J. M. Cobb; Sleepy Hollow, F. M. Green; Schultz, G. \V. Walker; Tabernacle, Dr. F.T. Capers; Windsor, P. Q. McCreery; Ward, no representation; Shaw, lion. John M. Bell; Hopewell, no representation. The chair having announced this as the committee, the members retired to one of the jury rooms to prepare a report, During "the retirement of the committee, Mr. Dunbar Lamar, of Beech Island, stated that Col. A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, was in town, ami moved that a committoe be appointed by. the chair, to wait on Colonel Butler, and to invite him to a seat in the conven tion, with the resquest that he would tell them how he was getting ’ on with the work of the Department. The motion was sec onded and carried, and Mr. Lamar was appointed as a committee of one to wait on Coi. Butler and extend the invitation. In a few moments Col. Builer appeared with Mr. Lamar and by the request of the chairman, proceeded to address the conven tion. He produced the call for the State convention signed by ninety- two farmers in different parts of the State and called attention to the nn- just and deplorable condition of affairs there represented remarking that in many instances, statements were made that were inaccurate and that even if true, such publications were detrimental to the intciests of the State and calculated to drive away capital. Col. Butler made a manly defence of the working of his depart ment and pointed to the good derived by the farmers from the inspection of fertilizers, illustrating the fact by a a case in point, where several thous ands were saved. He siated that it was j too vast a subject for him to enter into I a detailed discussion in a hurried way j but, referred to bis ofiiial report for further information. He stated that was in entire sympathy wifh anything that would promote the interests of the fanners and would always endeavor to pro mote by ever3’ means in his power whatever would advance their pros perity. The address was conservative in tone throughout and was listened to with attention bv the convention. At the conclusion of Colonel But ler's remarks, the committee on busi ness made the following report of matters, requiring the attention of the meeting through their chairman, Maj. Harry Hammond, each article being voted upon seperately: 1st. That five delegates be elected to the State Convention—Carried. 2nd. That tiie delegation from Aiken County be instructed to sup port a call for a State Constitutional Convention—Carried. The following was submitted by Senator John M. Bell and was carried: Whereas, A large amount of the money raised by the Tag Tax on Fer tilizers to create and support the De partment of Agriculture, has been consumed in long and expensive liti gation to protect the State in her phosphate interest, and is still being used to collect the Phosphate Royalty, which does not go to increase the funds thereof, hut is paid by the De partment directly into the State Treasury; and whereas the said tax is raised exclusively from the farmers of the State; Therefore, be it Resolved, That we the Farmers of Aiken County in convention assem bled, do hereby instruct our delegates to the State Convention of Farmers to lie held in Columbia, on the 29th day of this month, to present the fore going statements, and to induce, it possible, such action by said conven- j lion, as will in its best judgement se- f the money, thus tiou.

Xu format ion Desired Alan. by an Illinois Grand Crossing, Ills., ) March 30th, 18884 Editor Aiken Recorder'. Can you give me any information or aid me in any way in getting a history of one Drevrey Bell, who lived in South Carolina somewhere in 1829, and at the time was running a mill, and the mill was said to have been haunted. My father, Franklin Easley, worked for Mr. Bell at the tiipc, and I found among his papers, a few years since, a paper or bill of sale for slaves, and the paper is signed by Drewey Bell, and witnessed by Abner Gooch and Wright Crank. ^Unfortunately, the name of place or town is not on the paper, and I very - much desire to find out where he was located at that time and get a history of the Bells’ Witch, as it was called at that time.

Tiie meeting was opened with prayer by Mr. Watts the Ciiaplain ofthe Division and Col. Drayton was introduced to the audi- ance by Mr. T. Jenn ngs in a few pleasant remarks. At the conclusion of tiie address of the evening which occupied over one hour in its de livery, Mr. Wm.

The Grand Jury was organized with 17 members Mr. Frank Mixson being| foreman. The Judge delivered an able and lucid charge to the Grand Jury upon the nature of their duties. He urged upon them the necessity for bringing all offenders to justice; such as gamblers, adulturers, vagrants and those who sell intoxicating li- ,juors without a licensts: tiiat what is everybody’s business is generally nobody’s business, but that it is the duty of the Grand Jury to inquire into ali such matters and present all such offenders without fear or favor. We cannot expect the offender to report himself, nor can we expect those with whom he is connected in violations of law to do so. In re gard to bonded officers he said: 1 have a commnieation from the County Commisioners which I requested to read to you.

C., April qth, 1886. Yesterday three Northerners came near getting themselves intoascrape. With the usual Northern audacity they started out as if they owned the am ! place and went down into the railroad sav cut near Laurens street bridge and began shooting at a target with pistols. The- officer heard the shots and went to the scene and caught two of the men with revolvers in their hands, [’he third seemed to be merely an on looker and was not arrested. The other two were taken before May-or Davis and gave their names as a physician and his companion from a town in New Jersey. They pleaded guilty to the charge,, but claimed that they- were ignorant of the viola tion of any- ordinance. The Mayor held that ignorance ofthe law does not excuse violations, and thereupon fined them one dollar each or a day in commenced i jail. The fine was paid, and the trio departed wiser if not happier. They wili in the future inquire before they attempt any- more sport in'Aiken. Jersey. Complimentary to au Earnest Young Minister.
