Lust week a force of hands under the charge of Mr. Lawton passed through Aiken from Augusta, locat ing the route for the new telegraph icompanv, that has been lately organ ized in New York, as an extension of the Mackey-Benuett system. The , present force is locating the most di rect route between Washington and i New Orleans, and will follow the pub- j lie highways as much as possible 1 I Only when the public roads are too round-about will they cut directly ! across the country, and obtain rights of way from the owners of the land. The force went from here along the high road to Columbia, and from there will go on to Raleigh, N. C. The sui>- plies for the construction of the line from Augusta towards Columbia, are already in the former town, and iu a few days another force will be along putting up the poles and wires. This iiue will be of great advantage to Aiken, as it will atxmee cause a re duction in the present extortionate charges exacted by the Western Union Company. And further, the running of this line through A iken again in dicates what we have stated before, that this town lies directly in the lines of commercial communication be tween the North and South. List of Visitors. LOCAL BREVITIES. Miss Lou Crosland, of Bennetts- ville, is iu Aiken on a visit to rela tives. Mr. Geojge C. Hellen, of Washing ton, D. C., has returned to Aiken for the season^ Mrs. J. A. Col email has been ap pointed Postmistress at Cook’s, in the place of Mr. C. M.Savotiingresigned. A regular U. S. mail service will he soon be put on the Cumberland Gap Railw’ay; and the road w ill also soon be made a regular express route. The Augusta Street Car Company is selling off some of its surplus sup ply of mules. This is a good opportu nity for farmers to buy mules cheaply. Mr. J. P. George butchered a hog one day last week, which w’as 8 feet leng from the point of his snout to the end of his tail, and weighed over 400 pouud^ On our second page will he found a striking and instructive illustration of the comparative worth of the va rious kinds of baking powders now in the market. The Northern Methodist Conference. The twenty-fourth Conference of the Northern Methodist Church in South Carolina, composed entirely of negro churches, met at Aiken on Tuesday last.and continued in session the w eek. The Conference was con vened iti the Wesley Methodist Churen, ami was opened by. Rev. E. B. Burroughs, colored. Bishop John P. Newman presided. Among others we recognized the Rev AUicus G. Haygood, of Georgia, a man who has always tak-n great interest In the advancement of the negroes. From the statements made at the Confer ence it would he seen that consider able progress is being made in educa tional and religious matters, and this is a condition to be desired by all con cerned. Good Seeds. Vick’s Floral Guide for 1889 is at hand, and should be carefully exam ined by everyone who intends to plant llower or vegetable seeds this season. Ills always the best economy to ob tain tlie host seeds. Very often the seeds sold in the stores from commis sion boxes are more or less worthless, and lead only to disappointment. For many years we have been using seeds which have been obtained from va rious seedsmen, and w-e have invaria bly found James Vick, at Rochester, N. Y., to be among the most reliable and satisfactory in every respect. A charge of 15 cents is made for the Floral Guide, to prevent trifling; but with it is sent a certificate good for 15 cents’ worth of seeds,—so to the bona fide customers the charge first made is at once returned. I neend iarios Arrested. Dr. B. H. Teague spent last Friday nod Saturday fa lidgofleld, tubing rdiurge of the professional duties of Dr. Parker, who we are sorry to learn has been ill for some time. The County Commissioners held a meeting at the Courl House yester day, hut beyond the auditing of bills and signing of a few checks, nothing of importance was done. The bricks and other material are being delivered on the ground for the erection of the bank building for The Aiken County Loan aud Sav ings Bank, and work will be pushed ahead^nder tlie charge ot Mr. John Staubes. S. E. Smith, the ctdored candidate for Congress, who was defeated in the last election, has abandoned the con test he had commenced for the seat. Hon. G. D. Tillman w ill remain un disturbed for two years more. Y. M. C. A. A meeting of those interested in the cause will be lield at the Baptist Church this evening to organize a branch of the Young Mens’ Christian Association in Aiken. A full atten dance is particularly desired. Fine Cotton. Messrs. Cely &Bro. of Graniteville advertise in another column seed of a long staple, upland cotton, for sale. We have seen this cotton mentioned on several occasions as being of re markable staple, and fetching more than double the price of ordinary up lands. The AVando Manufacturing Co. The old reliable Wando is again brought to the attention of the fann ers of Aiken County through the me dium of our advertising columns. This excellent brand of fertilizers preserves the high standard it has al ways held. The parties who are believed to he the ones who set tire to old Edmund Russell’s house on the 29th of Decem ber have been arrested. From infor mation received. T«m Hayue, the colored deputy constable suspected Richard Daniels and William Pink ney, botli colored, with having been the incendiaries, and followed up his clues, until yesterday when lie caught botli of them just outside of Aiken, and lodged them in jail. He found iu Daniel’s house, a gun, watch and some clothing that had been stolen from Russell’s. They had evidently rob bed the house and then set fire to it. Visitors in Aiken. Notwithstanding the warm winter at lilt- Ninth, as ii-iw»a » niimb" r slrangers are in Aiken as usual at this time. At the Highland Park Hotel there are more guests than there were last year at the corresponding date. In fact in only two years since the hotel has been opened has the present number been equalled. A good many visitors are scattered about amoug the hoarding houses, and many of them have taken small cottages for the season. Cutting Affray. On Tuesday last a cutting affray took place between Nelson Galloway and Tom Brown, botli negroes, at Hawthorne. A dispute arose about some money due, ending in a fight in which Brown gave Galloway some frightful gashes W’ith a knife, in the head and shoulder. Brown has been arrested and lodged in the Aiken jail, wheie he lias been on several occa sions already. The current issue of The Eclectic now appears on the first of the mouth —a change adopted to secure fresher material from the foreign publica tions. In the present number Lord Wolseley’s paper on “War” has the post of honor, and is followed by one from the pen of M. Jules Simon, en titled “A Patriarch’s Thoughts about French Women.” Gladstone’s arti cle on the great Irish agitator aud on the whole the greatest of Irish states men, Daniil O’Connell, is written with the keenest appreciation, yet with a due sense of O’Connell’s de fects as a leader of public sentiment. There are several striking poems, an excellent short story of modern Greek life, and several very readablelfhort articles. While the number con tains much to attract thoughtful read ers, it is also well adapted to please such as read for amusement rather than instruction. Published bv E. R. Pelton, 23 Bond Street. New York. Terms, .fo per year; single numbers 45 cents; trial subscription for 3 mouths, $1. Georgia Chemical Works. In another column may be found the advertisement of the Georgia! Chemical Works, the largest fertilizer ! works in the Countrv. Their pro ducts are well known to stand so high that they do not need commendation from any one. The Town of Wagoner.

At the first session of Council it was determined to fix the license to sell liquor at $100. Lectures on China. Rev. G. W. Painter, of West Vir ginia, a missionary of the 1’ivshyte-' riau Church to China, delivered some very interesting lectures on the reli gion, customs and manners of the people of China, at the Presbyterian Church here on Sunday morning and afternoon, and Monday afternoon. His lectures were attended and atten tively listened to by deeply interested and large audiences. The Baptist Courier says: The State Convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union will convene in Charleston February 22-25, inclusive. .Miss Francis E YVillnrd, President of the National W.

A VALCAULK REMEDY. A letter from S. P. Wardwell, Bos ton, says: “I used Clarke’s Ex tract ok Flax (Papillon) Catarrh Cuke in June last for Hay Fever with great satisfaction, and find it is the only t ing 1 have seen w hich would allay, without irritating, the inflam mation of the nostrils and throat.
