While the collection was being counted Rev, D. M. Ramsey, by re quest of Superintendent Henderson, made a short and very pleasant Sun- school talk. Tuis flourisning school numbers 130 scholars with a corps of 12 teachers and the average attendance is 86. We are indebted for these figures to Mr. Arthur Burckhalter, the attentive Secretary and Librarian. As an interesting incident of the occasion we would mention that the venerable Mr3AuuGuyton,a lady over 80 years of age, who for very many years was a Sunday-school teacher herself, was present and took a lively interest in all that happened. So in tensely interested was she in the work that we observed her passing around the classes, to see that her great-grandchildren, several of whom were present, were provided with the s of making a contribution to ork.

Disappointed Fisherman. On Thursday last a large party of S entiemen from Aiken went out to Ir. Doc Gunter’s Mill, about six or seven miles from Aiken, in tbe Clear Water neighborhood, to have a grand fishing frolic. Arrangements hud pre viously been made with Mr. Gunter for the cutting of his dam and the withdrawal of the water, in order to give the fisherman a fair chance. At t!ie appointed timj the dam was cut andthe water withdrawn,but the result was a grievous disappointment. Only two good trout and a few small fish were caught. The amount paid Mr. Gunter for the cutting of his dam was $50, and the value of the fish caught was probably a little over fifty cents. We regret to learn that owing to the sobby state of the darn tire injury caused by the running off of the wa ter will probably exceed iu value the sum of one hundred dollars. Though a disappointed party we understand it was «, very good humored party, al though they had little else for dinner but pickles and bread, Town Improvements. The commission charged with the improvement of Aiken held a meeting on Saturday last, and determined that the sidewalks on Park Avenue shall be fourteen feet wide and that the middle of the avenue shall be occu- f ried by a park extending its entire ength ninety-two feet in width, with roadways on either qide forty feet in width. On all the other streets the sidewalks will be ten feet wide, with thirty feet roadways on each side of the park in the centre of each street. Where sidewalks already exist they will not be interfered with, except in case of absolute necessity. Thp Fire Engine. The Aiken Steam Fire Engine was out for practice yesterday afternoon under the charge of its faithful en gineer, Mr. Wm. Turnbull, who was assisted by Mr. A. D. Beckman. We regret to learn that the cross-head, the same part of the engine that was injured at the fire last January, bent again. Engineer Turnbull claims that a new one is needed. If this be the case the sooner it is procured the better,as itlshigbly fipsirable that this machine which is our only protection against fire should be kept in the best possible condition. Augusta Sclmetzenfest. The Augusta Schuetzenfest will take place to-morrow at their beauti ful platz. Delegations from Savannah Aiken and Charleston are expected, and the military companies of Au gusta will participate. The line of march will be formed at the Bell Tower at 8 A. M. Elegant prizes have been selected for shooting. The Ger man Fusilier band will be in atten dance, and a grand hall and illumina tion will conclude the fest on the night of Thursday 17th. A Whale. The Edgefield Chronicle says: The largest spring turnip we have seen this year was raised by Dr. R. G. Turner, son of Hon. G. W. Turner, near Vaucluse, in Edgefield county. The turnip is a large fiat dutch vaiie- tv, and is forty-two inches in circum ference. Dr. Turner lias quite a large patch of them and all of them are very fine. The weary hearts of the candidates will appreciate this and calls to inspect the turnip crop will be numerous. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit. Dfuggist, Bippus, Tnd., testifies: “1 can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy Every bottle sold has given relief iu every case- One man took six bottles and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist, Belville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 2'J year**’ exiK.*ri- ene-', is Electric Billers.” Th uisands of others-have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that.

Owing to the many recent changes in the management of the Langley Factory^ and to the . further fact that an extensive addition is being erected to the pres ent building which will necessitate a largely increased working force, we made a visit on Wednesday last to this beautiful little manufacturing town, for the purpose of enquiring into the matter and keeping our citi zens posted as to what AikenCounty is doing to sustain her place iu the grand army of progress. Upon reaching the station we were met by Mr. H. W. Jordan the new Superintendent, Xyho at our request afforded every facility for obtaining ihe desired information. So many changes havebeen made in the manage ment of the factory that perhaps it is best for us to first state, who are now the present officers. Mr. H. W. Jordan the new superin tendent has been for fourteen or fif teen years the overseer of fhe weav ing and spool rooms, and is regarded by those well qualified to judge, as a finished expert in ail that relates to the work of a cotton mill. More than this he is a man brimful of vital ener gy. and iu busiuess mattsrs he is as shrewd as the shrewdest, as is ex emplified by the successful manage ment of his own business concerns. Upon the resignation of Mr. M. F. Foster he was tendered the superin tendency in a most flattering and vol untary way by the Board of Direc tion, lie having made no application for the position. This responsible position received under any pircum- stances might justly be regarded as a high compliment, but tendered as it was, it cannot be otherwise considered than as a merited tribute to long years of faithful, tireless and intelligent ser vice in the employ of the company. Mr. Jordon now has his hands full, not only with the usual duties of a Superintendent, but is charged with the important additional duty of supervising the work of the new wing, of which we will sneak here after. He is, however, fully equal to any emergency, having already in stituted various improvements, and ihe factory is working on full time with everything running smoothly. Mr. John Brown, an old employee of the company and a native of Vir ginia, has been promoted for his many years of faithful service to the respon sible position of overseer of the weav ing and spool rooms made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Jordan. Mr. Brown has a large family, seveial of whom are working in the factory, is a man highly respected for his moral worth, and well qualified by his long years of experience for his present position. Mr. O. B. Parker, a new comer from Boston, Massachusetts, is the succes sor of lhat veteran manufacturer and excellent citizen, Mr. H. L. Allen, as the Overseer of the Carding and Spin ning Department, and is regarded an accomplished expert in his business. We wish Mr. Parker a hearty wel come to our State and abundant suc cess in his important position. Mr. W. R. Whitaker is the Overseer of the Cloth Room, a position he has held for; many years, discharging it duties vfith uniform efficiency and faithfulness, and is highly thought of by all who know him. Mr. John A. Platt, a native of Aiken County and a popular, indus trious and intelligentoitizen, has been appointed to the highly responsible post of Master Mechanic made vacant i>y the death of the lamented A. C. Smalls. Mr. Platt is a thoroughly educated machinist, familiar with every detail of liis busiuess, and it is the opinion of many that a more com petent man could not have been chosen. Mr. W. B. Sprague has for many years Held the responsible position of bookkeeper, and discharges his duties with a facility begotten of thorough competency. He is regarded as a most ac< omplished bookkeeper and a useful citizen. Sir. H. R. Walker is the Railroad Agent and Assistant Clerk in the Superintendent’s office. He is a most estimable and gentlemanly youngman competent and faithful in the dis charge of his various duties. Mr. J. B. McMillan is the Post master and Druggist of the Town. H i a office is well administered and his apothecary store is very neat and provided with a full stock of drugs and chemicals for a town the size of Langley./ THE MIL!,. The present capacity of the Lang ley factory is 10,800 spindles and 320 looms, and employs about 340 hands. The building is a substantial two-sto- ry brick structure with all of its offi ces and outbuildings built of brick. The town is one of the neatest and prettiest in the Stale, and the grounds adjacent to the factory and superinten dent’s office have been laid off in a beautiful park, containing many trees and a square or two of choice flowers. Notwithstanding the hard times in manufacturing circles for the past few years, tins mill has kept steadily on with its work and its operatives have been subjected to no inconvenience from shutting down orthe mill. As result of this consideration on the part of the directors and stockholders the operatives appear to be faithful in the nischargeot their duties and content- ted with their occupation and sur roundings. THE NEW WING. In the interest of economy and with a view to increase the productive power of the mill, the directors and stockholders have determined to add a wing to the northeast corner of the mill eighty-three feet in legnth fifty- nine feet in vyidth and two stories high with a picker room in the basement. In- the new wing will lie placed 1792 spindles which "will increase the total number of spindles to 12,592. Ad ditionat looms will be added if desir ed. The trouble has hereto fore been that the carding and spinning machinery was not suf ficient to supply the yarn for weaving with the promptness necessary. It is estimated lhat the additional machi nery wiil increase the productive capacity of the mill at least twenty- five per cent. A tower is to be placed on the top of the old mill which will rise ten feet above the ridge board, containing a tank with a capacity of 2,000 gallons which with the present tank connect ed with the building, holding 1400 gal lons will furnish 3400 gallons of water •if ways ready for instant use in case of ffr •. Both tanks will be furnished with automatic sprinklers and the whole building can then be flooded upon an instant’s notice. The piles are now being (Jriyen for the new structure. The first work was commenced on Friday June 4th. As soon as the piling is completed the building will be pushed rapidly to completion. Mr. T. (). Brown of Augusta is the co 'tractor. nOAUD OK mrtKCTOKS; The following Board of Directors w«re elected on Ms ref i 31sl, lost}, at th • jt! nu.il tuecimg t/f slockltofdorB o the l,a igtoy M.iauf.^ turuig Coin v : William C.

Abney, who also practices his profession. Dr. B D Breaker Former ly of Willis ton is devoted exclusively to the prac tice of his profession and has a large practice. His office is at McMillan’s Drug Store. Mr. H. L. Alien, since the resigna tion of bis office in the mill, has open ed an attractive stock of general mer chandize in the large store house un der the Masonic Hall. Mr. Allen is so well and favorable known to the citizens of Langley and Aiken county that it wouid be useless to say that he is doing an excellent business. Although we called twice during our visit we failed to meet him. but we learned from others that it is not im probable that Mr. A. will purchase cotton from the. farmers next fall. Mr. Allen has a beautiful country seat near the town, and comes in ear ly every morning to his business. Just around the corner Mr. W. A. Bradley formerly connected with the factory, has opened a store of generel merchandise, and is doing a good bus iness. These are the only stores in the town. Langley has an excellent public school which is kept open much long er than any other public school in the County except that of Granite- ville, as the County funds are supple mented by a liberal appropriation from the Langley Mancfacluring Company. Miss Gilliland, an accom plished lady fronq Charleston is the teacher. The Langley church is a handsome and commodious building. It is a union church,and is s ipplied alternate ly by the Baptist, Methodist, Presby terian and Episcopal denominations. The ministers are the Rev. Mr. Pat terson for the Baptists, Rev. W. M. Duncan for the Methodists, Rev. John Dowe for the Presbyterians and the Rev. Mr. Barnwell for the Episco palians. Space admonishes us that we must close this article on an interesing sub ject, not before, however, we extend to Superintendent Jordan and his ef ficient corps of officers, and assistants our best wishes for success in the dis charge of all their arduous and impor tant duties. 'Whito Pond" Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. White Pond, S. C., ) June 9, 1886.J Well it continues to rain. All day it has been coming sliower after show er. And not only to-day, but for two weeks past we have had an abun dance of rain and one or two of the hardest that have fallen at this place in the knowledge of the oldest est) inhabitants. Farmers, are begin ning to wear long faces and look anxi iously towards the rainy point of the compass, Crops are doubtless being injured by the rains. Melon crops especially will suffer, as it is now the time for the crop to besetting, at least with many farms, while others are needing work and the earth is too full of water to be stirred now. Corn (where it is clean) is doing well amid the showers, but many crops are needing work, and should it turn oft’ dry and hot the forced growth of the last few days will be of no permanent advantage. Cotton is suffering too from want - of work, and sunshine as sunshine is its favorite element. Crab grass is “in its glory,” sapping the life of all other crops. But all these things wt should bear with patience, knowing that the great Ruler of the universe knows best and makes no mistakes. The rainy weather, however, does not seem to hinder the progress of the revival at the colored church near here, for on last Sunday afternoon, they marched in procession from their place of meeting during a hard show er to Mr. Scotf' Pond, where eleven were baptized. I have seen upwards of thirty baptized there and some have been baptized that I have not seen. The’ White Pond Sunday-school have secured and put i« place an organ, which adds largely to the»at- fcendance and interest cf thei scTiool, and under the touch of that skillful performer, Mrs. Rosa McCreary, sends forth delightful music in addition to the fine singing which we usually have. Our School is improving generally, nearly every Sunday there an |sorae ad ditions to the already large Bible class. There is also a decided im provement in the interest of the lessons. There is a great deal of sickness through the country and the doctors are kept busy. White Pond.» Ciranitevillo News. From Our Regular Correspondent. SILLE, S., C.
