The Appearance ef the Town.
The people who visit Aiken during
the next six mouths will form their
Impressions of the place and the citi
sens to a great degree by the appear
ance of the streets and private prem
Ises. Aiken is ordinarily a town of
unusually attractive appearance,—
much superior to the average interior
town of the Routh. As a rale South
ern towns are not attractive in ap
pearance. The streets are seldom well
kept, and the buildings and fencing
on private property are often more or
less shabby. Whether it is that the
people are indifferent, or the climate
lias anything to do in the matter, the
fact remains that few towns in the
South present the neat and clean ap
pearance that they should.
Aiken has usually been kept ia bet
ter condition than any other interior
town that we know of in this State,
but much more can yet be done.
Many of our streets, particularly
those along the outskirts of the town,
need some attention, and the dry
grass and dying weeds that now of
fend tiie eye should be removed at
once. The sidewalks should be clean
ed off so that pedestrians may be able
to enjoy their walks without frequent
ly having to kick damp grass at every
step. Our private citizens may do
much in bracing or repairing any old
fencing that may now be offensive to
the eye, and aid the town authorities
in keeping the sidewalks clean. The
appearance of the streets and fencing
may be considered a small matter by
some persons, but there is no doubt
that it is very important in the im
pression made on visitors.
Information for Visitors to the Kxp >-
sltfon.
The round trip ticket from Aiken
to Augusta is 25 cents, and the Geor
gia railroad has perfected arrange
ments for transporting the crowds
from the city to the grounds. Trains
run every fifteen minutes both ways.
Telegraph stations at each end ol the
line start the trains simultaneously
from the city depot and the Exposi

Military Day at the Exposition.
Yesterday was miliitary day in Au-
f usta, and tiie first great day of the
Exposition. The parade, the sham
battle were a pronounced success.
About 3000 soldiers were present, and
made their movements under tiie
command of Gov. Humpton. He
and Genl. Stovall, and Governor Gor
don with their staffs made a most im
posing appearance. Tiie Palmetto
Rifles of Aiken went over with thirty
two officers and men, and took part
in the mauoeuvers with much credit.
An unfortunate accident happened
however during the progress of the
battle to an artillerist. A sergeant in
the U. S. Army, serving us a volun
teer on one of tiie guns of tiie Chat
ham artillery, neglected to use his
sponge after a discharge, and upon
another charge being put into tiie
gun a premature explosion occurred,
which shattered Ids hand and arm.
He was immediately taken off the
ground, and given every attention.
With the exception of this accident,
the military display was most suc
cessful .
The crowd at the exposition yes
terday exceeded by far that ol any
previous day; and at the Aiken sta
tion alone 540 exposition tickets were
sold.

Fruank H. Curtiss,
Pres. Aiken Co. Teacher’s Association.
The only difficulty that we have
heard of in Aiken County occurred
at Lowetown Wells Precinct, in
Sleepy Hollow Township, where, as
the polls were tieiug closed, some dar
kies, who were making themselves
numerous around there, got to cursing
a white man. A fight ensued and tiie
darkies pulled their guns and opened
fire. Tiie first shot took effect in tiie
knee of Willie Turner, who was only
a by-staiider and not iu the row. Sev
eral shots were fired on both sides, but
no other damage was done. The dar
kies ran off and no arrests have been
made. Mr. Turner’s wound is not
considered serious. At all other places
heard from tiie best of order pre
vailed.
Change of Schedule.
We beg to direct special attention
to the change in the schedule of the
South Carolina Railway, published
in our advertising column.
The Augusta Accommodation Train
will make three trips both ways dai
ly hereafter;and ou Monday next the
Yorkvllle Express will be put on be
tween Yorkville and Augusta, via
Branchville, which will give Aiken
people six trains daily, to and from
Augusta.
Christinas Tree.
The Sunday School children of St.
Thaddetts Church will meet iu the
Parish Hall to-morrow afternoon at
four o’clock, to practice the carols for
the exercises on Christmas Eye, con
nected with the annual tree. The
Superintendent of the Sunday School
particularly requests that all the chil
dren of the congregation will attend.
Frost.
For the past two mornings, early
risers have seen an abundance of
white frost about the town. The
weather la pleasantly cold, and a
grateful change from the unseasonable
warmth that we have had recently.
The Farmers’ Institute.
Editors Aiken Recorder:
Now that it has been finally deci
ded that Aiken County is to have a
Farmers’ Institute, a short account of
the mannerof conducting these meet
ings and the character of .their pro
ceedings may be of interest to some
of your readers.
These Institutes are intended to be
gatherings of practical farmers, meet
ing to compare notes and to learn
from tiie experience of others. It has
often been charged that agricultural
editors and writers are men who have
beautiful theories of country life, but
no practical experience. This is not
true of tiie Institutes as they have
been conducted during tiie last two or
three years. Their discussions have
been eminently practical, and the
most popular speakers have been
those farmers who have attained the
greatest success in some branch of
farming Tills is especially the case
with the speakers sdected for the Ai-
keu Institute. In their several lines
of farm work each is an authority,
and has proven the correctness of his
theories in regard to farming in a con
vincing manner. Who would not
spare a day,at a time when work is not
pressing, in order to have the oppor
tunity of listening to such men?
Still more practical is the itiaiiner
of conducting these Institutes. Not
only are there carefully prepared es
says by men well able to instruct, but
there is also an opportunity for ques
tions from anyone desiring further in
formation, and for rematks and criti
cisms from tiiose who may differ with
the principal speakers ou any point.
As such a rich bill of fare lias been
arranged for tiie Aiken meeting, it
has been found necessary to limit the
discusfion of each subject to one hour,
—one-half of which will be occupied
by the essayist, and then anyone
present will be allowed to discuss the
subject for five minutes. If all the
speakers availing themselves of this
privilege will aim to be concise in
their statements, a great deal can be
condensed into the thirty minutes of
general discussion. D.
The Penitentiary.
From the report of the News and
Courier, tiie State Penitentiary is a
paying institution. A balance of its
receipts and expenses for the past
year shows a clear profit of nearly
thirty-five hundred dollars.
For the past eight years it has given
the State a profit which foots up the
very respectable sum of $297,000 over
all expenses, including all appropria
tions made to it and $25,000 advanced
it last year; but all of this money, ex
cept $40,000 paid into the State Treas
ury and $1,250 in work on the State
House, bus been expended in impro
ving and enlarging the penitiary,
in work on the Columbia canal, in
tiie the purchase of farm lands on
which to employ the convicts, buying
stock and implements, and in farm
improvements.
According to these figures, it Is es
timated that this institution, since
such elaborate improvements have
been made, ought in future to -pay
into the State Treasury from $25,000
to $35,000 per annum, which should
go to the reduction ot taxation.
It is to be hoped that the future will
show sqme such solid return, and
then our taxpayers will begin to ap
preciate R.
CoLUMill's, Ga., Nov.7.—A special
from Beuna Vista says: A train on
the Savannah and Western Road,
containing one hundred and twenty-
five passengers bound for the Macou
Fair, was wrecked near Ellayille thi»
morning, ami-five persons were killed
Instantly, and a dozen others injured.
Santa Fe, Nov. 8.—Reports from
Valencia county says there was troa-
ble between the Republican and Dem
ocratic judges of election at San Raf
ael Tuesday, over an attempt by tbe
former to secure the poll books. T.
Provencher, one of the judges ami au
old citizen, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed by the at
tacking party. The murderer escaped
to tiie mountains.
Dublin, Ga., Nov. 6.—The Marshal
of this town, N. K. Watson, was bru
tally murdered here Sunday night at
7 o’clock by Marshall Searhoro. Both
men were white. Marshal Watson's
throat was cut. Scarboro had been
drinking for several days, and whisky
was tiie cause of tiie murder. Sear-
bolo was a farmer and lived four miles
from town. Marshal Watson was re
spected and well liked by the citizens
of this county. The murderer es
caped.
Atchison, Kansas, November 9.—
The most phenomenal snow storm
that t yer occurred in Northern Kan
sas began this niorning and has con
tinued furiously all day. Trains are
all delayed and telegraph wires are
prostrated in all directions, with the
exception of one line in Kansas City.
In Atchison over 200 telephone lines
are broken and so tangled up with
electric wires that the electric works
have been suspended to prevent ac
cidents. The snow storm is tiie
heaviest sijice 1378. The extent of
damage cannot be ascertained, owing
to the suspension ot telegraphic com
munication.
Chicago, Nov. 8.—A dispatch from
Louisville regarding the shooting af
fray at Livingston, Ky., election day
says: Five men were killed and an
other mortally wounded. In a polit
ical discussion Champion Mullens
and John Martin pulled their revolv
ers and commenced firing at each
other. The former was a prominent
Republican, and the latter a govern
ment official. The friends of eash
took up the quarrel, and twenty pis
tols were pulled, and a fusilade of
shots fired. The desperate men
fought for several squares. The fight
continued for fifteen minutes, when,
for want of amunition the sanguinary
affair ceased. It was then found that
Samuel Ward, a member of the Ken
tucky Legislature; John Clifford,
agent ot the Louisville and Nashville
railroad; John Martin, government
storekeeper; Frank Stewart, an em
ploye of the Kentucky Central rail
road, and C. Mullens, were killed, and
J. Sambrook. a merchant, badly
wounded.
The phosphate miners at Hertz’s
washer, near Jacksonboro 8. C. have
been in a mutiny for several days
past, and a serious riot has been threat
ened. There are 255 Italians engaged
in the mine 3 , and they are regarded
as the worst crowd that has ever been
brought to this section of the country.
They are fresh from the east, and are
unable to speak English at all. There
are besides these Italians about 150
negroes at the mines.
The Italians grew dissatisfied with
some arrangements about the place
and mutinied. They were led by a
few desperate fellow’s of Anarchistic
tendencies. They made an assault
on the formen and several of them
were severly beaten and might have
been killed had not Mr. Miles, one of
the superintendents, appeared with
a rifle. The crowd scattered imme
diately, but in the rush-Mr. Miles was
struck by a shovel and the rifle dis
charged, its couteiUs entering his
font and wounding him severely.
The rioters then began to bre»,k ti

THE AGBICULTUKAIi REPORT.
A Good Season for Colton Picking—A
Bi Corn Yield.
Washington, Nov. 10.—The de
partment of agriculture reports a good
season for cotton picking during Oc
tober in the Southwest, and only
moderately favorable weather on the
Atlantic coast states. The wet weath
er of September proved yery injurious
to the quality, prostrating plants and
rotting bolls, causing blight and
shedding, and injuring the prospects
of the top crop. There is much stain
ed fibre, and the quality is much poor
er than that of the previous year.
The picking was late commencing,
but there has as yet been no killing
frost, rendering possible partial com-
pensatiou as to the length of the sea
son. Indications of the yield per acre
average the same as last year at this
time, though the previous condition
of the plant scarcely warrants the ex
pectation of so much late growth and
harvest outcome in November and
December. The states of the Missis
sippi report a slightly larger yield
than last year, while Georgia, Alaba
ma and Tennessee indicate a slight-
reduction. Other states indicate near
ly the same expectation at this date.
Returns of the yield of corn made
to the department of agriculture, in
dicate a yield per acre quite as large
as that of 1835, and larger than any
oilier crop since 1880. The aggregate
grown on a larger area will exceed
that of any previous American pro
duct, being very close to 2,000,000.000
bushels, or about thirty-two bushels
per capita. The corn -surplus states’
average yield is as follows: Ohio, 35.2
bushels; Indiana, 35; Illinois, 30.2;
Iowa, 37; Missouri, 31; Kansas, 27;
Nebraska, 36. These seven states
produce 64 per cent of the crop aggre
gate. The general average will fall
somewhat under 27 bushels.
There is a good supply of maize in
nearly all parts of the South, so that
comparatively little will be required
from the West. The yields of the At
lantic states are moderate; seriously
reduced by frost in the Norheru bor
der. __
Electric Bugs.
About a week ago, Mr. J. McLaugh
lin, in Savannah was biilen on the
baud by one of the large bugs that
are attracted by the electric lights and
ever since that time he has suffered
with a very sore hand. Tiie bug was
a yery large grey one, measuring 2
inches in length. It flew in through
an open window, near which Mr. Mc
Laughlin sat, and striking the wall,
fell on the floor. He picked it up and
started to throw* it out, when it began
to perforate his fingers with its claws.
Mr. McLaughlin said the sensation
resembled that ol several fish-hooks
being torn through the flesh. Imme
diately his hand began to swell, and
his arm and face and head were broken
out in small pimples witliiu twenty-
four hours and extremely painful.
The bugs were never seen iu tills sec
tion until after the use of the electric
lights, and where they come from is a
mystery. Ordinary artificial lights
do not attract them, but wherever
electric are used they may be found
after nightfall in large nutubers.
