THE AIKEN REMDER. Published Evekv Tuesday. AIKEN, S. C., FEB. 19, 1889. The New BaKKine Trust. South Carolina and Divorces Aboat the middle of last mouth it was announced that the eight firms that composed the Bagging Trust had dissolved co-partnership and put an end to the Trust. But it now seems that the eight Arms in question have since been quietly purchasing the entire supply of jute butts in this country, afloat and in Calcutta. In this they have succeeded, and the en tire world’s supply of jute butts is now owned by them. The Ludlow Manu facturing Compan3’, the only large mill that has never joined the combi nation, is fully supplied witli material, but the mills that broke the combina tion have their choice between enter ing it again on the terms the eight choose to give them or ceasing to manufacture for lack of material. At the close of the year the combination had about 15,000.000 yards of bagging left on hand. Having now secured control of the total available supply of material, the Illustrious eight are in a position to dictate terms almost If not quite as effectively as the old combination. The railroad facilities in India are so much improved that the entire jute crop gets to market before March in stead of slowly dragging along till summer. September is the earliest date of shipment of the crop from Calcutta. The first arrivals of butts from the new crop of 1889 will not take place till January 1890. Until next January, therefore, the smaller combination of 1889 is likely ts be able to control the market for bagging quite as effectively as the larger com bination of 1888. From these circumstances it seems as if our farmers will have to be rob bed by these people from now on through the year. Heretofore the only hope for the farmers has seemed to lie in the pro duction of pine straw bagging, but now this fru’l hope is removed. From New York comes the authoritive news that the (Standard Oil Company has purchased the patent rights of the manufacturers, thus virtually re moving it from the field as a competi tor with the new and even more dan gerous combination. Those compe tent to express an opinion hold that this means more extravagant prices next season than were demanded early in this one, and that the mills in the trust, realizing that it is perhaps their last opportunity, will bleed the con sumers to the utmost limit. ITEMS OF INTEREST. A Northern woman writing from Aiken to the Pittsburg Dispatch says: “It makes tbe blood run cold to think of tbe cruelties that can be per petrated under such a system, ana to contemplate the martyrdom compre hended in such a creed. When a woman marries here, and makes hav oc of her dreams of happiness, she has no hope ot freedom or release save by death. If her husband should prove to be a cruel tyrant, she has no recourse in a law of divorce. When we think of such a condition of things we wonder what lias become of the revolutionary spirit of South Carolina’s patriotic sires; what has become of the spirit of resistance co tyranny that animated her heroes of '76; what has become of the fiery he roism that made the name of South Carolina famous throughout the world. It is only to be understood by the thought that women have always excelled in the line of martyrdom, and have had the doctrine of submis sion so sedulously ground into them by the church that they look to hea ven only for relief or release,'instead of any exercise of their own powers or efforts.” We would surmise that the writer of tbe above either has not nad a chance to enter into the married state or is a divorced woman; and in any event she is ignorant of the subject as it relates to South Carolina. We claim to be the best judges of what suits our own people, and are satisfied that under our present laws there is a greater average amount of married happiness than in any other State of the Union. In this State divorce is not permitted for any cause whatever, and we trust that the law will never be relaxed. This is the only State in the civilized world except the Terri tory of New Mexico in which this (is the case, and we can only hope that her example may influence other States to repeal their present laws, whicli in a great measure have a ten dency to encourage licentiousness. Certainly what is observed of the re sults of the divorce laws elsewhere tends to make every thoughtful Caro linian more fixed in his determina tion not to relax one jot of the law' of this State. In Indiana, during the past five years, ten per cent, of the marriages solemnized have been dis solved by the courts. Over in Georgia at the present term of court in Atlan ta, there were two hundred divorce cases on tbe docket. We think that the impossibility of divorce tends to induce caution in marriage, and to that extent increases the chance of happiness. But after all, this is ex clusively our own business, and those who do not like this law' need not come here. l*rizes For Corn Crops. The American Agriculturist of New York offers a prize of $500 for the largest yield ot corn on one acre of land anywhere in the United States during 1889; but all competitors must be subscribers to tbe Agriculturist; and the South Carolina Department ef-AgrieoUure offers aiv euIditiowaJ prize of $500 to the winner of the Ag riculturist’s prize, it the yield is made In this State. Thus if the largest yield in the United States is made in this State, the producer will receive $1,000. But if the Agriculturist’s prize is not won in this State, the Department of Agriculture will give $100 to the South Carolinian who produces the largest yield under this competition. A similar competion was made in 1857, when Dr. Parker, near Colum bia, made over 200 bushels on one acre. This yield has been the largest ever produced in the United States, and w'e are confident of the ability of our State to take the prize. In our next issue we will give an account of the method of cultivation by which Dr. Parker made the great yield. Farmers wanting information on the subject of the competition this year, can obtain it from Col. A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, at Co lumbia. Deadi ot Gen. H. J. Hunt. Gen. H. J. Hunt, late Governor o: the Soldiers Home of the District ol’ Columbia, died at Washington on the 11th inst., in the 70th year of his age Gen. Hunt was a native of Michigan and graduated at the West Point Ac ademy in 1839, and served steadily and honorably in the U. S. Army un til his retirement a few years ago. His memory will always be held in greau respect in South Carolina for the man ly and honorable course he pursued here during 1876. His whole influ ence and authority as commander o:’ -the^-U.-S-i troop»-ip - this State was used to preserve order and protect tbe lives and property of our people. So highly was he esteemed that he was given the command of the Carolina Rifle Batallion of Charleston, and was elected honorary member of the Caro lina Club and the Washington Light Infantry. A Newr County Wanted. The people of the village of McCor mick and surrounding country in Abbeville County, have begun to agi tate the matter of organizing a new county composed of parts of Abbe ville and Edgefield. They now find the distance to the Court House in conveniently far. Col. Elliott Seated. On Thursday last the Smalls-EUi- contest in the House of Representa tives at Washington was closed, and Col. Elliott given the seat by a strict party vote. Bishop H. N - McTyiere of the Methodist church, died in Nashville, Tenn., on the loth inst. The deceased was senior Bishop of the Methodist church, and president of the Board of Trustees of the Vanderbilt University The total militia force of the Uni ted States is 106,506, and South Caro lina leads the Union in having the largest organized force in proportion to her population. The military spirit has always been very strong in this State. Jucge Wallace, in Charleston has granted the suit of Shepard and Lee against the Pacific Guano Com pany, and has appointed H. A. M. Smith Esq. Receiver for the company. Mr. Smith has qualified in tue sum of $25,000, and the Sheriff has surrender ed all the property in South Carolina to him. Federal Interference. Hon. Denjamin F. Perry. We have had the pleasure of re viewing a pamphlet published as a tribute to the memory of the late Benjamin F. Perry, ex-Governor of Soutli Carolina, being compilations ’made by his widow from the many communications received in memory of her late husband, and published on tbe second anniversary of his death, Decembers, 1888. The various communications and newspaper extracts contained in this pamphlet give but a superficial idea of the character, attainments and services of Mr. Perry. To fully un derstand and appreciate the man, one must be conversant with his literary work, as well as be acquainted with the history of our State politics du ring the period that Mr. Perry was in political life. Among the most noted of his writings were his “Biographical Sketches of Eminent American Statesmen,” published by the Ferree Press, Philadelphia,—a work that should be in the hands of all persons { The New York Herald, referring to wlio desire to be intonned about the the interviews with Southern Demo- early history of this country'. crats in its issue of Thursday, says: Mr. Perry’s political views from “'Y e °l>serve the expression of a ioo,, : needless and as it seems to us an ab- 1830 to l8bo were at variance with surd apprehension of a renewal of those of the largo majority of Caro-j Federal interference in the Southern linians.

If any one in the South is told otherwise he should regard his infor mant as a demagogue who ha? some bad end to gain by spreading such re ports.” The new Artesian well at the cor ner of Lee and Hanover Streets, Charleston, has attained a depth of 1,840 feet, leaving only 160 feet more to be bored to complete the contract. The flow of water, «00 gallons per minute, is much larger than has ever been obtained in Charleston at the present depth of the new well, and there is good reason to believe that it will be much larger still when tbe well has reached a lower depth. A movement is on foot to organize another bank in Anderson, with a capital of $50,000. Sam Jones has captured California. During his revival meetings in Los Angeles he made 1.200 converts. The veteran Hannibal Haml’n broke the record of a lifetime and wore an overcoat on the occasion of his recent visit to Chicago. The only negro in the next Nation al House of Representatives will be H. P. Cheatham, from the Second North Carolina District. He is thirty- two years old and is a prominent man in his community. The town of Chester is going to try elecctric lights. The Brush Electric Light Co., has concluded a contract to put up a few lights on a trial of ninety days. Cheraw is now consid ering the same proposition. The South Carolina Poultry and Pet Stock Association will hold a vrand Poultry Exposition and Bench Show, in Charleston from March 5th to 9th inclusive. The bench show is to be the grandest ever made in the South. The great car daivers’ strike in New York cost the city over $500,000, 6,- 500 men lost $78,000 in wages, the railroad companies lost $203,100, tbe theaters $60,000, the stores in the shop ping districts $150,000—and yet it was a failure. With the thermometer below zero and a blinding snow storm raging, several persons were baptized in an Illinois riyer this week. Afterwards they walked in stocking feet nearly a S uarter of a mile lo the nearest resi- ence to change their clothing. Congressman Hemphill’s speech on the Smalls-Ellioit contest is at tracting attention all over the coun- trv. The Republicans denounce Mr. Hemphill bitterly, and the Demo crats praise him. He ougiit to b- doubly happy. It has been decided that President Harrison shall start for Washington February 25th in a special car, with the members of his family and not more than two or three other persons. It is believed, now that his formal election has taken place, that he will decide in a few days on tbe members of bis cabinet. The Lexington Dispatch says: The surveyor and his corps of engineers are engaged in surveyingthe proposed railroad from Columbia to Saily- ville, intersecting the Barnwell and Blackville railroad; passing up tbe Dunbar toad to Lexington and Orange burg road; crossing said road at the old tornado track, near Bethel church; thence by Daniel Hutto’s mil), down Cedar creek to where said creek en ters Edisto river, crossing same at that place, and then on to Sallyviile- Gen. Henry S. Sanford, of Florida, who was for nine years United States minister to Belgium, and who has been the right-hand man of King Leopold in helping to open np the Congo country, is in New York. He has valuable information about Stan ley and his work in the Dark Conti nent. He thinks that Stanley will come out of his difficulties all right. He is confident that the great Congo basin will be developed into a rich and prosperous country. He says that the recent agitation of the slavery question adds perils to Stanley’s situ ation. He thinks that all white men in Central Africa will be killed, as the slaters will make a strong fight. The Supreme Court of Georgia has granted a new trial to the notorious Tom Woolfolk, convict ed of the murder of his father, step mother and six brothers and sisters. The scene of the crime was near Ma con, and Woolfolk was branded as the most noted criminal of modern times. Tbe grounds upomrehtoh a new, trial is granted are alleged errors of the Court below iu the admission of cer tain hearsay testimony. Justice Sim mons, who delivered the decision, referred to the demonstration in the court room at Macon during the trial of the case, when the crowd cried “hang him! bang him!” The Justice also censured the Ceurt below for not taking summary means for tbe pun ishment of those who raised the cries. The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny has arranged for two personally conducted pleasure tours to Florida. The first one will leave New York Monday, February 25th, and the se cond, Monday, March 11th. Each train will be made up of Pullman cars and will run through to Jackson ville via Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charleston and Savannah on a fast schedule. Each party is to be limited to 150 persons, and will be in charge of a tourist agent. The hour for starting will be 6:30 a. in., and Jacksonville will be reached the second morning thereafter. The price of the tickets ($48; will include meals en route and pull man car accommo dations, and each ticket will allow the members of the party to remain two weeks in Florida. The Columbia Record says: Curi ous stories come from Ponce de Leon Hotel, in St. Augustine. Mr. Flag ler’s expenditure there now amounts to nearly $6,000,000. Early in Janu ary there were only twelve guests in the hotel. Mr. Flagler, howeyer, does not seem discouraged. He has just bought the railroad running from St. Augustine to Palatka and from St. Augustine to Jacksonville. Last Sun day he changed both of these to broa t gauge roads, and shortened the sched ule more than one-half. He is going to build a bridge over the St. Johns, so that the vestibule trains can run into St. Augustine from New York without transfer. He is building an opera house iu St. Ausustine at a cost of $300,000, a magnificent church, and a union depot that will cost about $200,000. Homicide nt Johnston. The Oldenburg Murder in Charleston. The Vote Counted. Tbe electoral votes from the differ ent States were formally counted in ! the House of Representatives o»i "Wednesday last, in tke presence of the members of tbe Senate. Of the 401 votes for President, Mr. Harrison received 233, and Mr. Cleveland 168. Mr. Morton received for Vice-Presi dent 233 votes, and Mr. Thurman 168. Therefore Mr. Ingalls, the presiding officer of the Senate, duly declared Messrs. Harrison and Morton to have been elected respectively President and Vice-President of the United States, for four years from tbe 4th of March next. Carsar Fraser and Ned Criss, both negroes, and the murderers of Mr. E. H. Oldenburg in Charleston on Satur day night, 9th inst., have been caught as they were trying to escape from the city on the railway train. Fraser s, by his own confession the one who fired the fatal shot. The two put up a job to rob the grocery store on the corner of Minority and Wall streets sept by E. H. Oldenburg, a venerable German 60 years of age. They went iu the store about 9 p. m., and while Criss engaged the attention of the old man, Fraser took possession of tbe till. Mrs. Mary' Haas, a daughter of Mr. Oldenburg, saw him and raised a cry. Fraser tired a shot at her, and started to leave the store with the money drawer in his possession. The j old man followed him and was shot | dead on the threshold of his store This, in brief, is the story of crime. Fraser’s excuse is that he is too pious to commit a murder, and lie didn’t mean to “shoot to kill.” The Sessions Court meets this week, and the two murderers will be brought to prompt trial. On Monday', the 11th inst , ;leu Holmes, colored, was shot ant) in stantly killed at Johnston, 8. jC., by John Anderson, a young widte man. The circumstances that lei to the killing appear to have beca as follows: During the day h number of boys bad been indulging in Mow balling, but none hud moisted Holmes, who bad, however, courted attack, and had ari>ed himself tolth a rock. After he hud made soma re marks, Mr. Anderson, who stood hear by, called to the hoys to take Hcltucu. They caught hold of him, but before any serious result happened, by standers interfered and released him. He attempted to throw a rock at the crowd, hut was prevented and punned into the post-office. Here the affair ended as far as the boys were^eou- cerned. But later Holmes accused Mr. Anderson of being the instigator of the scuffie, when the latter drew his pistol and struck Holmes over the head with it. A scuffie ensued, when the parties were separated. Holmes then procured a long knife and sought Mr. Anderson, but was stopped by tbe Town Marshal. (Subsequently he got a pistol, and in the afternoon fol lowed Mr. Anderson up and down the street, and touching him com menced to quarrel. Mr. Anderson warned him away, but instead be stepped back a few feet and drew his pistol, cursed him and fired. The fire was quickly returned, each party firing two shots. At the second shot from Mr. Anderson, Holmes leil to the ground with a ball tbrough bis brains, and died instantly. The Cor oner’s jury subsequently rendered a verdict that “Ben Holmes was shot and killed by gunshot wounds la tbe forehead and shoulder, at the hands of John Anderson, and that said John Anderson did the shooting while act ing in self-defence.” The Cumberland Gap Railway. The statement from the Railway Age is going the rounds of the papers that the contract for the completion of the Carolina Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railnoad from Edgefield to Cumberland Gap, Tenn., a distance of 350 miles lias been awarded to tke. At lantic and Northwestern Construction Company, a New York concern, of which W. H. Schofield is* president and W. H. Schofield, Jr., superin tendent of construction, with head quarters at Aiken. Tlie facts appear to be that tbe At lantic and Northwestern Construction Company has held the contract for the past eight years, and has'been endeavoring to sub-let it. The line from Aiken to Edgefield was sub-let to Messrs. Neil McDonald and Geo. Potts, who built it, and it Is hoped that the work will he pushed on to Asheville, hut so far ns we have been able to learn, nothing definite bus yet been closed as to this extension. In January some changes were made iu the direction of the company, and Mr. Austin Gallagher of New York is now' the President, and a majority of the Directors reside In New York. City where the business matters of the company are mostly arranged. The New Ice Company. The stock in the new ice company that is being formed in August^ with a capital stock of $50,000, is being rapidly taken up. Over ten thousand dollars have already been subscribed. Mr. W. P. Jopling is at the head of the new company, which is negotia ting for the purchase of the Schultz Hill pronerty in this County, Vhere the new factory is proposed »to be erected. Mr. Nurnberger, tbe owner of the above site, wants $4,000 for the place, but no sale has yet been con summated, though it is the m^t de sirable place, as there is a fine ?p of water on the land which in iu' auitakle for--manttfa advantage tbe new company will have, if they decide to locate in Ham burg, is that they will have no city taxes lo pay. VAUCLUSE ITEMS. It is stated, upon what appears to be good authority, that a contract for the construction of 250 miles of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railway has been awarded, and work is expected to begin as soon as the weather permits. This new road is locallv known as the Three C’s, and uas now iu oj>eraiioii 400 miles of roadway. It will connect with the Norfolk and Western, ami the pro posed extension ot the Louisville and Nashville at Big Stone Gup. and when completed will make a direct line from Chicago to Charleston, S. C.. 809 miles long, 100 miles shorter than any line between LaUe Michigan and the Atlantic seaboard. f Editor Aiken Recorder. I am happy to state that the Wes tern Union Telegraph Company have opened a first-class telegraph office here; so now our accommodating and faithful agent, Mr. W. E. Stanfield, is happy, for he does love the tele graph business. Rev. W. D. Horton has moved from Vaucluee to White Pond section, the Baptist Church here being supplied by Rev. Mr. Little, from Edgefield. Thirty-three. Gauze-Door Ranges and Stoves. Mr. L. F. Padgett, of Augusta, Ga., has now on sale cooking stoves and ranges in which the ovens are fitted with fine wire gauze doors, instead of tbe close doors of the old styles. It is claimed, and apparently with rea son, that the use of the gauze is a great advantage in admitting fresh air into the oven and forcing the im pure air up the draft; at the same time the fresh air enters only in fine jets and can not chill the meat or bread being cooked. In addition to this, a saving of forty per cent, is said to be effected in the weight of what is cooked. Certainly anyone needing a stove would do well to ex amine the “gauze wire” before buying. S. H. Wilson. Good housekeeping can not be car ried on without groceries, and one of the best places at which to get these is S H. Wilson’s store at 284 King street, Charleston. In another col umn will be found the advertisment by which may be seen the low prices charged, and the varied assortment offi red. Here are a few specimen prices of his groceries: Granulated sugar at 7?4C.; Armoura hams at 14c.; good quality rice at 5c.; grist at 75c. per bushel; pure leaf lard at lie.: Cross and Blackwell’s orange marmelade, one pound jars at 12*20.; and other groceries on the same scale. B. A. & N. Railway. It is currently reported that the Blackville, Alston and Newberry Railway will he extended from Sally’s or Perry towards Columbia, and the line from Wagener to Seivern discon tinued. It is difficult however to ob tain accurate information on the sub ject. Surveyors a;e now at work examining the route from Sally’s or Perry toward Columbia. This rail road has been of great advantage to the short section of country through which it lias already b»en built, and lias caused the formation of several thriving villages along the line, and if it is extended through Lexington the j County to Columbia, will develop a j large extent of country that is now far removed from any"railway facili- ; ties.
