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

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.

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.

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,

The current issue of The Eclectic
now appears on the first of the mouth
—a change adopted to secure fresher

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.
