( TUB AIKBN RECORDER. I The Weather. Published Eveky Tuesday. AIKEX, S. C.. JAN. l, 1889. Our Special Aiken tame. It is our purpose to make the next Issue of the Recorder, to be pub lished on the 8th inst., particularly devoted to the town and county of Aiken, as regards their climatic, social and industrial advantages. It is very important that the many advantages of Aiken be made known, and we propose to do all in our power, with out any appropriation, to accomplish this end. Our object is to push Aiken prominently forward and contribute all we can to the successor the place, realizing that on the prosperity of this section depends that of ourselves. The paper will be as thorcughly de scriptive of Aiken as we can make it, bearing in every line the stamp of simple truth. Since we have made our intention known, the demand for extra copies of the Recorder has considerably exceeded our expecta tions, so that those persons who may desire extra copies, and have not yet engaged them, had better have their orders at the office before Friday next. The Birmingham Folly. Some capitalists doing business in Birmingham, Alabama, have been to Indianapolis, and in an interview with Mr. Harrison expressed the de sire and expectation of breaking the political solidity of the South. A good deal has been said about this matter, and an amount of importance given to it that it by no means de serves. In the first place nearly all these so- called citizens of Birmingham are really Northern or Western men. But we must not judge them harshly for that, particularly at this season of the year, when kindly feelings should rule; they could not help it. In the nature of things it cannot happen to be everybody’s good fortune to be born in the South. Again, most of them are Republicans. This is also excusable to a certain extent, for they have not yet lived in the South long enough to know better. Therefore it is an absurdity to consider that that self-constituted committee from Bir mingham represented in any respect whatever any portion ef the Southern people, and we believe that Mr. Har rison estimated the interview at its full value, and has too much knowl edge of the facts to place much im portance upon such a communication. This talk of breaking the Solid South is periodical. It comes up every four years, and it is natural enough that the politicians at the North and the few Republicans at the South should desire to have it broken. But we nave to take care of ourselves, and our safety lies in our solidity. So long as the population of the South is composed, as it is to-day, of two races, each about the equal of the other in point of numbers, the white people dare not divide. Our State and '"Cmmfy CfoVWnmenti^are of inei.-* pressibly more importance to us than the National Government; and cer tainly our people would be guilty of inexcusable folly if they took any course that imperilled their tenure The South is prospering as well as any other section of the country, and offers at this moment greater advan tages for the capitalist and laboring man; and what we want particularly is that politicians and other meddlers will let us alone and keep their tongues quiet. I>r. Janies P. Boyce. The telegrams from the North and Northwest represent the usually severe weather to be expected in those regions at this time of the year. The thermometer marking zero, more or less, and everything enveloped in snow. Weather after all is a matter of taste; for our part, we prefer such as we have here—enough cold weather to make the season healthy, and to brace one up for work, but dry and clear. Just such weather as tempts an invalid to stroll about and bask is the bright sunshine on a bench in some of the town parks. There is no need to seek shelter from wind, for there is none; and one feels like drinking in the soft, bracing air as if he cannot get enough of it. legislative Acts ol Interest. The State Press Association. The State Press Association was to have held a meeting in Columbia on the 20th ultimo, but for various reasons not enough members of the press were present to render a meeting desirable. The address was to have been de livered by Capt. F. W. Dawson, but as no meeting was held, it was pub lished instead, in the issue of the News and Courier of the 25th. This address deserves to be, and doubtless has been, carefully read by all the members of the press of the State. It contains information and many sug gestions that may be of much value to newspaper men; and the press of the State should be indebted to Capt. Dawson for its publication. The South Carolina Exhibit. The State exhibit at the Augusta Exposition which excited so much favorable comment and won for South Carolina such a diploma as was award ed to no other exhibition, has been taken down preparatory to being shipped to Columbia, where such por tions as can be used will be incor porated in the permanent exhibit of the Department of Agriculture. The rice exhibit, in accordance with the instruction of the Board of Agricul ture, will be turned over to the repre sentative of the National Department of Agriculture, who will take it to Paris for the grand international ex position there. The Augusta Factories at Work. On Wednesday morning the cotton mills at Augusta resumed work, after having remained idle for three months and a half. As the news got abroad that the canal was nearly completed, the old employees who were scattered about the country began to return, so that by Wednesday there were enough operatives on hand to enable the mills to go ahead. The mills are all now running full time, and the $50,000 per month paid out in wages will be a boon to the operatives’ families, as well as the tradesmen of Augusta. Colored Theologians. On Friday a telegram was received in Augusta, announcing the death at Pau, France, of the Rev. James P. Boyce, D. D. His death had not been unexpected, as he had been in bad health for some time, and had gone to France in the hope of obtain ing some improvement. Dr. Boyce was born in Charleston, S. C., in 1827. He was graduated from Brown University and studied the ology at Princeton from 1849 till April, 1851. He was ordained to the ministry of the Baptist Church in December of the same year, and was called to the pastorate of the church at Columbia. In 1855 he became pro fessor of theology in Furman Univer sity. He was elected a professor in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Greenville, S. C., in Feb ruary, 1858, and entered upon the duties of that office on October 1, 1859. The operations of the Seminary having been practically suspended during the war, he entered the Con federate army as chaplain and served in that capacity for six months. He was elected to the South Carolina Legislature in 1862 and was re-elected in 1864. After the war he gave his attention to the resuscitating and and re-estab- ing the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and in 1874 secured pledges to the amount of $90,000 for the sup port of the Seminary. When the seat of the Seminary was removed from Greenville, S. C., to Louisville, Ky., he retained his connection with it, and was a professor in it when he died. Cock Fighting. Our neighbors in Hamburg enter tained themselves for three days last week with a cocking main. Some persons mis-call this thing sport, but to the average citizen it seems to be cruelty, pure and simple. The laws on the subject are stringent enough, and only need firm execution to break up the cruel practice entirely, and it is time they were enforced. Cock fighting is in no sense removed from bear baiting, dog lighting or prize fighting, and lacks every element of true sport. It is beastializiug to ones nature and encourages the tendency to gamble. On these accounts it should be stamped out in South Caro lina. . The Jacksonville Metropolis says: u Aiken, S. C., seems to have the lar gest number of tourists of any South ern winter resort. The Recorder publishes hundreds of new arrivals every week.” The Episcopalians are about to build a church hall, as an annex to Howard University in Washington, D. C., for the theological training of colored young men to labor among the people of their own once at therSeuth: A Happy New Year to all the readers of The Recorder, also to those of our respected contemporary, the Journal and Review, and even to the correspondent of the New York World. May they all have many happy returns of this day—a day that more than any other in the year stands as a mile post. As it is yearly passed in the race of life, there is one mile more thrown behind us, and one less in front. The past year, like every other, has been mixed. To some it has brought poverty, trials, sadness; and to others prosperity and apparently every happiness. But to all of us it has brought many things for which we may truly be thankful. It is not uncommon to hear the in tentions expressed of turning over new leaves with the new year. We have not much confidence in this kind of thing. Improvement in char acter does not, like Jonah’s gourd, spring up in a night. It is of slow growth. One thing, however, is cer tain:—as each new year’s day passes over each one of us, he is a better or a worse man than he was a year before. Not one of us can stand still. There fore it behooves each to take a retro spect; see how he has used 1888, and then strive to make out of 1889 a hap py new year. The oraugo crop of Florida this season is reported as being the largest on record. It is estimated that not less than 30,000,000 boxes will be shipped. For the past week or two an average of 300 cars, loaded with oranges, have passed through Bald win going north and west. As each car contains 325 boxes, it will be seen that about 97,500 boxes are shipped through that one place weekly. The private banking house, known as the Commercial Bank, in Colum bia, owned and controlled by Mr. Levi Metz, of Lexington, and Mr. C. J. Iredell, of Columbia, has been chartered as a Bank by the State, with capital stock of $100,000, with the privilege of increasing it to $500,000. Bishop Newman. The Rev. John P. Newman, one of the newly appointed Bishops of the Methodist Church North, has been appointed to this District, and will preside at the annual conference of his church in South Carolina, to be held this month. He expects to be Charleston about the 10th inst. in The Augusta Brewing Company, the latest enterprise of our sister city, commenced operations on Saturday. The company has erected a large uilding on McKinnie street near the canal, will employ about thirty hands, and will turn out about 600 kegs of beer daily.

The Legislature adjourned sine die on the 24th ultimo, after a more har monious session than had been antici pated. One hundred and seventy-six Acts were passed, received the ap proval of the Governor, and became laws. This is a smaller number than usual .as for several sessions past the number has exceeded 250. Among the Acts passed that are of special in terest to our readers are: Act to repeal an Act entitled “An Act to regulate traffic in seed cotton in the counties of Abbeville. Aiken, Sumter, ork, Edgefield, Berkeley. Kershaw, Richland, Orangeburg, Charleston, Chester and Marion,” so far as the same relates to Aiken, Charleston and Berkeley counties. Act to incorporate the town of Wagener, in Aiken countv. Act to appropriate the funds re ceived from the United States Gov ernment for rent of and damage to the South Carolina Military Academy to certain uses. Act to protect primary elections anc conventions of political parties and to punish frauds connected therewith. Act to amend an Act entitled “An Act to amend an Act entitled an Act to provide a general railroad law for the management and regulation of the railroads in this State, and for the appointment of a railroad commis sioner, and to prescribe his powers and duties,” approved February 1882, said Act being incorporated with and known as Chapter 40 of the Gen oral Statutes of this State, 1882, and therein entitled “Of railroad corpo rations, general railroad law.” Act to establish a new judicial and election county from portions of Dar lington, Marion, Williamsburg and Clarendon counties, to be known as Florence county, and to adjust the representation of said counties in the General Assembly. Act to provide for the payment of township bonds issued in aid of rail roads in this State. Act to incorporate the Cheraw am Barnwell Railway Company. Act for the establishment of a new school district in the county of Edge- field, to be known as the Centennia school district, and to authorize the levy and collection of a local tax there in. Act to amend an Act entitled "An Act to grant, renew and amend the charter of certain towns and villiages therein mentioned,” so far as the same relates to the town of Aiken. Joint resolutions to authorize the county commissioners of Newberry and Edgefield counties to borrow money to pay for repairing and build ing bridges destroyed and injured by the freshets of 1888. Act to create a school district of the portion of Barnwell county lying within the corporation limits of the town of Williston. Act to authorize the town council of Barnwell to issue bonds for the pur pose of constructing public buildings and boring an Artesian well in sait town and to provide for the interest accruing thereon. Act to create a new school district in Edgefield county, to be known as the Holley school district, and to au thorize the levy and collection of local tax therein. Act to regulate the traffic in seed cotton in the county of Barnwell. Act to provide for the estab lishment of separate school districts in the several cities, incorporate* towns and villiages in this State, and to authorize the levy and collection of special taxes therein, and to author ize the levy and collection of specia taxes in the several school districts now formed or hereafter to be formec out of cities or incorporated towns and villages. , Act for the establishment of a new school district in the county of Edge- field, to be known as the Butler school district. Act to make affidavits and proofs of claims made before notaries public in other States as effectual as if made before commissioners of deeds. Act to amend the law in reference to unexpended school funds remain ing on hand at the end of any fiscal year. Act to authorize the Manchester and Augusta Railroad Company to build a branch of its road to the town of Camden. Act to provide a more efficient sys tern of working the public roads in Laurens, Anderson, Edgefield, Lex ington, Marlboro, Richland, Abbe ville and Newberry counties. Act to amend an Act entitled “An Act to provide for transporting per sons convicted to the Penitentiary by the Penitentiary guard,” approved December 22, 1886. Act to amend an Act entitled “An Act to amend an Act entitled an Act to amend Section 1,694 of the General Statutes relating to gamebirds,” ap proved December 24th, 1887. The Bill that passed the House re ducing the salaries of the Circuit Judges, we are glad to say was de feated in the Senate; so the salaries remain at the ver3 r moderate sum oj $3,500 each. The only Act of the Legislature that failed to become a law was that in relation to Clemson College. The Governor did not actually veto it, but took a course which is Constitutional and equally as effective in killing the scheme for the present, at all events. The law allows the Governor three days for the examination of a bill, and if the Legislature adjourns be fore the expiration of the three days, he has the right to withhold his ap proval or disapproval until the second day of the next session of the Legis lature. He has taken advantage of his Constitutional powers and pigeon holed the Bill until the next session, when he will announce his final deci sion. The Governor has acted wisely in this matter, as we believe even most of those now in favor of the Bill will appreciate in due time His ac tion has saved the State from becom ing involved in the litigation now go ing on over the Clemson Will, and will give further time for the full dis cussion and better understanding of the whole business. We do not be lleve that the farmers of the State ei ther need or desire this separate Clem son Agricultural College as much as the politicians try to make them be lieve they do. The Act regarding the Railroad Township Bonds was one of the most important pieces of work done. It shows the world that the people of the State do not wish to take advan tage of any legal technicality- to avoid paying their obligations honestly- made, for value received. Whether the Act is Constitutional, and the Legislature can by an Act make a transaction valid and legal which was invalid and illegal when it was done, is a point for the Courts to decide The people have done all they could to sustain the credit of the State. The course pursued by the members of the Legislature from Aiken Coun ty on every question was most com mendable, and our people can truly say to them, “well done, good and faithful servants.” John Gary Evans, Esq., although one of the youngest members of the Legislature, showed unusual ability, and exercised an in fluence that older men would be glad to possess. 11 the State through Colonel Marshall, as the incumbent of the office of Sec retary of State. The great seal, which was finally adopted by the Confederate States of America, was received from England, where it was made, not long before the termination of our tremendous struggle for a separate and indepen dent government. The seal is of pol ished bronze, three inches in diam eter. On one side is an equestrian statue of Washington, and on the other the inscription: “The Confeder ate .States of America, 22d February, 1862. Deo Viudicere.” It was designed by Hon. Thomas J. Semmes, then a Confederate States Senator from Louisiana; and the uestrian statue is copied from that Washington in the State House grounds at Richmond. At the 'time of the evacuation of Richmond, when our army w as trudging through the mud and fight ing its way to Appomatox, the seal was overlooked in the hurry of pack ing. and one who found it gave it to Col. John T. Pickett, late of this city, a true and devoted Confederate, and since the war he sent to England and had these copies made, and gave Col. Earle three of them. The great seal which was used prior to the receipt of this one was a very simple affair, and there Is a legend concerning it to the effect that when the train was crossing the Sa vannah at Lowndesville, rumor spread that hostile cavalry were near by on the Georgia side, and the party who imd charge of the seal declared bis purpose that it should never fall into inimical hands, and, walAing to the end of the ferry, dropped it over as near the centre of the river ( as his eye could measure.

Hotel Grounds include Park, con taining 300 acres of Pine Forest. Driest Climate in the United States* Except points of great altitude in the Rocky Mountains. ABSOLUTE SAFETY FROM YELLOW FEVER,—-ttom the follow ing comprehensible reasons: First—Reliabe medical authority asserts that Yellow Kever could not become epidemic in this climate, even if brought here in mid-summer. Second—There is no case of Yellow Fever nearer to Aikqn than Jack sonville, Fla., and a rigid system of quarantine prevents its nefcrer approach. Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts already experienced here render infection imjtossible. For those who wish to go further South, Aiken olfers a desirable stop ping place, until frost reaches the localities they wish to visit, and renders it safe for them to continue their jouruey.
