have become by long usage a public
rig.it of way. 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. As he
fell. Gunter fired his gun, the charge
lodging in the fence in direclline with
Boddy.

surrendered to the SherifT, and is now'

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.

put up, aud here he had two
two boilers, one saw mill, a grist
mill and a cane mill, one planer, one
shingle mill and one gin in operation.
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.
