On Friday morning Gunter went with some hands to haul a logvthrough this road that Boddy had closed, carrying a loaded shot gun with him- The hands cut away and removed the first obstruction anc had proceeded to the second, when Boddy came up with a pistol. He and Gunter had some angry words, when Gunter ordered one of his men to cut away the obstruction. Boddy then declared that he would kill any man who attempted to do go. There upon Gunter seized an axe, and with his gun in his left hand and the axe in his right, attacked the obstruction As Boddy advanced towards him Gunter dropped the axe and raiser bis gun, when the former fired, kill ing his opponent instantly.

AVe have been endeavoring for some time to induce the railway lines to place Aiken on the list of excursion points in the South, hut have beeu unable to succeed, and in explana tion publish the following letter from the General Passenger Agent of the Richmond & Danville Railway at Washington: Washington, D. C., Jan. 26,1889. Editors Aiken Itteorder: Gentlemen—We beg to acknowl edge receipt of your esteemed favor of tiie 23d inst. While the situation as explained by you is, in the main, correct, if you will closely examine the winter tourist points to which ex cursion rates from the Northern States are quoted, you will find that they are situated upon what may be termed the extreme border or Southern ter mini of principal Southern lines, and that no point in the interior of the Southern States, with perhaps one exception of Asheville, which is loca ted in the heart of the mountains, far removed from any commercial point, has rates quoted to the same. The question of making Aiken a winter excursion point and quoting excursion rates thereto, has been brought up for discussion annually for years past, and with this situation your Mr. Chatlield of the Highland Park Hotel is fully conversant. To make Aiken an excursion point for winter tourist travel would result in making Augusta, Atlanta, Chatta nooga, Knoxville, Anniston, and so on indefinitely. Trusting that you will see the jus tice of this explanation, or at least appreciate that this line, in the inter est of Aiken, lias for some time en deavored to place your well known resort on terms of equality with the more favorably situated, in the matter of rates. I am Yours Truly, J. L. Taylor, G. P. A. Granitcville Noles. AV. U. The members of tho AV. C. T. Union will please bear in mind that it is most urgently desired by the officers of the same that there be a meeting at the lecture-room ju the rear of the Baptist Church next Thursday after noon, 31st inst., at 4 o'clock, and we hope all who feel an interest in the cause will attend, and all will be most cordially welcomed.

This last is one of Lombard’s special ties, and his Augusta cotton gin would be a prize winner anywhere. Mis outside exhibit was near the race track, aud met the admiring and ap proving eyes of ail the farmers and practical visitors. Mr. Lombard devoted much time and hard work to the Exposition, and besides his own display and the usual work of his immense foundry and machine shops, he made all the bolts for the Exposition building and fur nished the injectors to feed the boilers. He also constructed the shafting aud pulleys, pipings and fittings to run the machinery of Ashworth Brothers, tiie Granger F. & M, Company, the Chattanooga Plow Company, Ames& Liddle wood mowers, H. Disston saws, Penberthy Injector Co., Henry Mitchel, the Crompton Loom Works, the Pine-straw bagging works and many others who had large me chanical exhibits at the Exposition. This was all special Exposition work and did not include the usual and very large orders from a distance which make the business of George R. Lombard A Co. the largest in this section of the South. To give an idea ol what Mr. Lombard is doing al) the while,we might state that Lombard has recently built and furnished two large steel boilers to the Augusta Brewing Co., one to the Augusta Cot ton Oil Co., one to Covington Oil Co., a large tank to the Riverside Mills, another for the Augusta Brewery, and another to the Covington Oil Mill. Helms also recently made and fur nished two steel boilers for tiie Gran iteville Factory, one for the Augusta Cotton Mill, live for the Georgia Chemical Works; also for tiie Augus ta Ice Company and tiie Arctic Ice Company, three for the Perkins Man ufacturing Company, three for Jesse Thompson & Co’s, planing and saw mills, one for the Augusta Water Works, four for the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad, aud a large stack to the Thomas A Houston Elec tric light Company. This is an immense output and shows the capacity of the foundry and machine shops of George R. Lombard A Co. To all of these parties reference is made, and to many more who have ordered from this popular firm from all directions. Mr. Lom bard not only appreciates his fine patronage, but he is proud that a home concern is so well sustained. He endeavors always to do first class work and his reputation aud immense business proves that he-succeeds in his efforts. He is helping to build up Augusta and tiie manufacturing South, and his mills, engines, boilers, gins, presses, shafting, pulleys, cast ings, injectors, Ac., go all through Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Nortli aud Soutli Carolina, and extend even to more distant states. A recent or der came ail the way from Utah, aud Lombard’s business is growing every day.
