made a short and very pleasant Sun-

scholars with a corps of 12 teachers

are indebted for these figures to Mr.

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

Taking it all in all this beaut’fnl
Sabbath afternoon at the Aiken Bap
tist Church was a most delightful oc
casion, worthy of mqcb more space
than we are able to afford.
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andthe water withdrawn,but the result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.

Matters.
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.

The Langley Hofei, is kept by Dr.
J. B. 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.

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.
