A vtry pleasant German was given
on Thursday evening by Mrs M. A.
Chafee, at her residence in Aiken, in
honor of Miss Ida Kinioch, of Char
leston, who is here on a visit.
At the session of the Legislature
just over, an Act was passed amending
the charter of the town in two im
portant particulars. The first amend
ment, in reference to the salary ot the
Inteudant, provides that hereafter no
salary may be paid by the town coun
cil to the Intendant, until the question
as to whether he shall receive a salary
shall have been submitted to the votes
of the tax-payers, and shall have been
decided in the affirmative by a ma
jority of two-thirds of those voting.
This amendment puts an end to any
further discussion of the legality of a
salary.
The e ther amendment fixes the fire
limits at present as being within^ the
squares, bounded on the East by New
berry street, South by Park avenue,
West by Short and Pendleton streets,
and North by Richland avenue, and
gives the town council the right to ex
tend the fire limits at any time they
think proper.
The Cumberland Gap Kailway.
To-dav is the last day on which the
South Carolina Railway Company

its stations at the rate of 4 cents per
mile. Tickets may be bought to-day,
good until Saturday the 5th inst., in
clusive.

make the most of ourselves.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Carolina, Cumberland
Gap and Chicago Railway was held
in Aiken last week, but was adjourned
until the 1st inst., when the election
for officers will be held. The recent
action of the Legislature, validating
the township railway bonds, has re
stored confidence to the contractors,
and it is now probable that the road
will be pnshed on from Edgefield to
Abbeville at an early date. The road
has already had one very good effect
by its connection at Trenton, in
making Aiken a competitive point,
and in reducing the average rates of
freight heretofore paid by fully 24 per
cent. _
The Costume Ball Thursday Evening.
Christmay da3 f passed off quietly.
There was the usual firing of crack
ers, blowing of horns, &c., but very
little drunkenness on the streets, and
no breaches of the peace. The holiday
comes but once a year, and people
should tnjoy themselves, even if they
do make a little noise.
The costume ball, which takes place
Thursday evening at the Lyceum hall,
promises to be one of the most pleas
ant occasions of the season. Every
thing will be in the best style, and
nothing will be left undone to make
this occasion a pleasant one for every
person who attends. The celebrated
Bearden Bros’, band, of Augusta, Ga.,
will furnish the music for the occa
sion. Tickets may be obtained at
Hall’s drug store, Henderson, Gard
ner & Petty’s, Hahn’s store and Som
mer’s bakery.

The Aiken Institute will re-open on
Wednesday morning, Jan. 2, 1889.

to be present, in order to secure a sit
ting, as so many applications have
been made for admission, and the un
occupied sittings are quite limited.
Frank H. Curtiss, Principal.
An alarm of fire was caused on Sat
urday afternoon on Laurens street in
the office of S. E. Smith, colored.
Some burning embers had rolled from
the fire-place out on the floor, which
had caught fire. The blaze has soon
put out without much damage, save
to the floor, and some books in the
office.
A small cabin occupied by Ed Rus
sel, colored, situated near the freight
depot was burned ou Saturday after
noon. The house was entirely con
sumed with all the fumiture aud
other contents. A dog chained to the
house was also burned to death: and
two bales of cotton near by were de
stroyed.
There have been very few changes
in the clerical force under the new
officials at the court house. Mr. J. R.
Jordan retains his position with the
new sheriff; Major Champlain retains
his with the County Commissioners;
but Mr. Geo. C. Edmonston has been
given the position in the Clerk of
Court’s office, heretofore held by Mr.
Oakley.
A serious fire occurred at Trenton
on last Saturday, that consumed three
stores and two stables. The origin is
unknown. The heaviest loser was
Mr. J. M. Wise, who had three store
houses and stables burned. His loss
is estimated at $2,000. No insurance.
Mr. S. H. Manget also lost beavilj’
on bis stock of goods, but has $500 in

Breaker, State Evangelist of the Chris
tian denomination, held service in the
Aiken Academy, aud endeavored to
form a regular congregation for Aiken.

dozen members of this denomination
in our community, but it is hoped that
these may form the nucleus of a per
manent congregation.
Comus Club.
A meeting of the members of the
Comus Club will be held at the office
of Walter Ashley, Esq., on Friday
evening, the 4th inst., at 8 o’clock.

ed to be present.
V. Richards & Co.
Mrs. A. H. Crossland has sold to
Messrs. M. T. Holley Jr., aud W. H.
Moseley the tract of land lying on the
left side of the Pine Log Road, about
one mile from the town limits, for the
sum of $8,500. There are only 132
acres in the tract, and the price there
fore is at the rate of about $64.40 per
acre, the highest price that farming
land has ever fetched in this neigh
borhood. Mr. Holley takes 72 acres
and Mr. Moseley 60. Such a sale as
this shows confidence in the value of
property in this neighborhood.
A NOBLE CHARITY.
The William Elision Home at Charles
ton.
Charleston, Dec. 29. — To-night
over sixty indigent elderly persons
are housed in the William Enston
Home, a village erected in the su
burbs of the city.
William Enston, a wealthy furni
ture dealer, who died more than a
quarter of a century ago, left all his
property to the city for the purpose
of establishing a home modeled after
that in Canterbury, England, his
birthplace. Nothing was done about
it until the administration of Mayor
Courtenay, about nine years ago,
when steps were taken to execute the
trust. Arrangements were made with
the surviving heirs of the testator, and
about $20U,0UU was placed at the dis
posal of the trustees. The village
was commenced, aud twenty sub
stantial cottages were erected, most of
which are now occupied.
The village will consist of forty cot
tages, twenty of which are now ready.
It is a model modern village, the cot
tages being of brick aud granite and
provided with all the latest improve
ments in the way of heating, lighting
and sanitary arrangements. The in
mates are supplied with fire, light,
water and other conviences, have a
pension, and plat of ground for culti
vation.
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
On Saturday Messrs. V. Richards
& Co., of Augusta, made an assign
ment to Mr. G. L Pender, of Balti- t
more, for the benefit of their creditors. 1
Their liabilities are estimated at $18,- 1
000. and their assets at $25, 500.

advertisement of 234 shares of stock in
the Bath Paper Mills for sale. This
company is now earring 8 per cent,
per annum ou its capital stock, and is
under able and prudent management.
Further particulars may 7 be had at
this oflice.
Excellent Ferrotypes.
Mr. J. M. Williams, a photgrapher
from New York, has had his tent |
erected for the past week on the
vacant lot at the corner of Laurens j
street and Richland avenue, where;
he has been making pictures of the;
populace. He makes only ferroty’pes, j
at the rate of two for twenty-five :
cents, or twenty-five cents for one i
group, and st eceeds in making ex-I
cellent likenesses. His tent has been ,
well patronized.
Price Going Up.
The Edgefield Advertiser says: We
j are informed by those who know that
! guanos and fertilizers for the coming
: season will be sold four to five dollars
I higher per ton than last season. We
' publish this information now, so that
our farmer friends may get ready for
the figures, instead of getting mad
with the agents next spring for some
thing they, the Agents, could not pre
vent. The guano companies claim
that they have been selling their goods
too ch^fip, and have to go up on the
price or bust. There Is little or no
profit in cotton with the present
prices, and if it goes up much higher
our farmers will have to abandon cot
ton or make it for nothing.

On Wednesday morning Mr. John
Fauche of Ninety-Six, an old man of
seventy-five years, went to his barn
to see his horses. Upon opening the
stable door the horses rushed out on
him, knocking him down and tram
pling him to daath. His body was
terribly mangled. Two large gashes
were made in his head by the horses
hoofs, and one arm was mashed near
ly oft. Mr. Fauche was the father of

his pastor, conducted his funeral ser
vices on the same day.
The steamboat Bristol, of the Old
Colony line, was burned at her dock
at Newport. R. I., early on Sunday
morning. She had just arrived from
New York and had landed nearly all
her passengers. A few, however,
were still on board asleep in their
staterooms, and had much difficulty
in escaping. The vessel being of
wood, with a great deal of ornamental
work, burned with great rapidity, and
soon became a total loss. The fire
was so rapid and the heat so intense,
that the utmost difficulty was ex
perienced in preventing the flames
from spreading to the steamers Pil
grim and City of New Bedford, lying
near by.

brewery, established by J. C. H.
Claussen some years ago, is to be cap
italized at $100,000, a meeting having
been held to-day for the purpose of
looking into the affairs of the firm.
Later in the year another hank will
be started in upper King street. Most
of the local corporations have declared
dividends ranging from 4 to 20 per

BARBAROUS SPORT.
Chic-ken Fighting in Hainhnrg Rip-
Hug Christmas Week.
Augusta Chronicle, Dec. 29.
Ever since Christmas day ther.i
have been posters distributed around
Augusta, and posted up in the differ
ent saloons, announcing that on and
after Christmas day cock fights of
great importance would take place in
the store of I. Rubenstein, in Ham
burg. A great deal of interest is
manifested in the sport (?) by num
bers of people, aud each day’s fights
have caused a ripple of excitement
and given theme for talk among
numbers of people.
A Chronicle reporter was detailed
yesterday afternoon to witness one of
the fights.
When one enters the store of Mr.
Rubenstein, it has, to say the least, a
very modest appearance. It looks
like a country store, but. on closer ac
quaintance, it will be seen that any
thing, from n ginger snap to a bottle
of wine or a good supper, can be pro
cured. It embiaces a store, a bar
room and a restaurant, and extends
back for quite a distance.
Tiie cock fights take place at the
rear of the store. Everyone is charged
twenty-five cents admission, and is
given a little red badge of honor with
a pin, which is pinned on the lappel
of the coat. The ribbon bears die
legend “cock fight.”
Yesterday afternoon there were a
number of people present—upwards
of seventy-five. It was a heterogene
ous assemblage—the dude, the fakir,
the cock fighter, and last but not least
in point of numbers, the negro.
It is a general impression that cocks
fight in a pit, but they did not fight
in that way on yesterday. They sim
ply light in an inclosure, with a rope
stretched around, while the specta-
toi s gather about to keep them from
getting out.
The cocks are pitted against each
other in the middle of the ring, with
a line like this made: \ | |
and a cock on each end of it.
A cock fight to some people is a very
interesting sight. The trim, graceful
birds bear upon eacli leg a long knife-
like looking blade called a “gaff.” It
is slightly curved, and about two and
a half inches in length. It is as sharp
as the sharpest knife, and a blow from
the little weapon sends a stream of
blood flying in every direction.
As before stated, the cocks are
placed in front of each other in the
middle of the ring and the tight com
mences, with a far-reaching crow ot
defiance from each bird. It needs no
urging ou of a game bird to make
him fight. With one deadly impulse,
and at the very instant they are put
down, they fly at each other with
their murderous-looking “gaffs.” The
first bout generally results in both
cocks being knocked down, and then
it is often the quickest bird up that
wins the fight. They rush at each
other and peck aud spur away until
one @r the other is killed. The very
first blow from the “gaff” starts the
blood to flying, an J, as the fight pro-
grogresses, the blood trickles all over
tiie fighting cocks until one or the
other is “gaffed” to death, with the
blood pouring out of his mouth, eyes
and every portion of his body. When
the cock is quite dead, lying upon the
ground, the victorious cock gives a
triumphant crow, and is declared the
winner.
Cock fighting is cruel sport, and
ranks in the same category with bull
fights, dog fights and the like. It is
prohibited by the laws of the State of
Georgia. Augusta has always been
noted, however, for its splendid cocks.
Richmond County cocks were the
winners in the four fights yesterday
afternoon. The betting was even on
all of the fights.

Notes From Buvts’ Bridge.
Editors Aiken Recorder:
Christmas has cojpe and passoL^
very pleasantly and quietly. Several
entertainments were gotten up by the
young people, which were very nicely
arranged.
The farmers of this vicinity are ma
king arrangements for the next crop,
and from present indications everyone
expects to be ready for putting seed
in the land in due time.
Miss Ida Moseley, one of Colum
bia’s charming young ladies, is visit
ing Mrs. Jenny Hudson, and has had
a very pleasant stay.
The Muddy Branch Church has
been constituted, with twenty mem
bers, and has called the Rev. Mr. Kee
of Williston, for their pastor.
Mr. H. H. Cabman, of Ninety-Six,
and Miss Ella A. Weeks, were mar
ried on the 27th of December at the
residence ot the bride’s father, Mr. J.
Weeks.
Ere this readies the readers of The
Recorder the new year will be upon
us. I wish you a happy new year,
with health and wealth, peace and
happiness. Edisto.
The Springfield Shooting Affray.
Orangeburg Times.
The friends of Mr. Edgar Brodie,
charged with the shooting of Mr.
John Abies at Springfield ou Satur
day night, December Icth, say that
the shooting was accidental; that
Brodie was not drunk, but had taken
two drinks. A policeman undertook
to arrest Brodie and he told the po
liceman that inasmuch as he had done
nothing he did not want to go to the
guard house; that the policeman call
ed a man to his assistance whom
Brodie asked him not to call, as he
and the man were not on good terms;
that Mr. Abies came up and asked the
policeman to let Mr. Brodie go and
he would stand his security for his
appearance. The policeman refused,
and when they umlertook to force Mr.
Brodie to go, he drew his pistol aud
they tried to take it from him. In
the scuffle it w.eut oft'and shot through
Mr. Brodie’s coat and hit Mr. Abies,
who was about to walk off. Only one
shot was fired. Messrs. Moss & JJant-
zler, who represent Mr. Brodie, will
very soon apply for his release on
bail. Mr. Brodie deeply reg'ets the
shooting of ids friend.
Webb and His Car'
W. S. Webb with his car, filled with
Florida flowers, fruits and curiosities,
is making a tour of Pennsylvania.
He was at Shamokin when last heard
from. Here the people were much

The Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, lud.,
testifies: “I can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy.
Every bottle sold has given relief in
every case. One man took six ' bottles,
was cured of rheumatism of 10 years’
standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist,
Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best
selling medicine I have ever handled
in my 20 years’ experience, is Elec

GEO AUGUSTUS BALA.
George Augustus Sala, the well
known English writer, on his last
Australian trip wrote as follows to
The Loudon Daily Telegraph:
“I especially have a pleasant re
membrance of the ship’s doctor—a
very experienced mantime medico
indeed, who tended me most kindly
during a horrible spell of bronchitis
and spasmodic asthma, provoked by
the sea fog which had swooped down
ou us just after we left San Francisco.
But the doctor’s prescriptions and the
increasing warmth of the tempera
ture as we neared the tropics, aud in
particular a couple of Allcock’s Po
rous Plasters ciapped on—one on the
chest and another between the shoul
der blade—soon set me right.”
"BLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation.
HOW DOCTORS CONQUER
DEATH,
Dr. Walter K. Hammond says:
“After a long experience I have come
to the conclurion that two-thirds of
all the deaths from coughs, pneumo
nia and consumption, might beavoid-
ed if Dr. Acker’s English Remedy for
Consumption were only carefully used
in time.” This wonderful remedy is
sold under a positive guarantee by H.
H. Hall, Druggist.
WHY WOMEN FADE.
Women lose their beauty because
colds undermine their life. Dr. Ack
er’s Fhiglish Remedy for Consump
tion is an absolute cure for colds. For

A Woman’s Discovery.
“Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that too by a lady of
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her, and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined,
and death seemed imminent. For
three mouths she coughed incessant
ly and could not sleep. She bought
of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption and was so
much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night, and with one
bottle has been miraculously cured.
Her name is Mrs. Lucy Lutz.” Thus
