'Sr V s The Inaugural. Published Every Tuesday. AIKEN, S. C.. MAR. 12, 1889. The Need of Another Hotel. This matter is again being brought home to our people. Another first- class hotel would double the number of visitors here annually; would giVe a new impetus to everything in Ai ken, and thus add materially to tiie value of all investments in the town. We need a house that contains all the modern improvements; and can furnish the comforts and luxuries that people of means desire and are wil ling to pay for. Such a house, thor oughly furnished, would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. Our own people can not raise such an amount for this purpose, but they can take the initiative, contribute towards the enterprise and furnish various induce ments to other parties who may see their advantage in it. As a business enterprise it would be profitable in itself, besides being of important re sultant benefit to the town. It is useless to expect outside par ties to come here and build a hotel for us. We must put our own shoul ders to the wheel, and then when we have made some headway, outside aid will be obtained. Year after year, as the necessity for another hotel is felt, the matter is talked about, but nothing done. But in the meantime the available and most attractive sites for a hotel will probably be sold and placed beyond reach for this purpose. Will any ac tion be taken this season? The Cabinet. The Senate in executive session Tuesday received from the President and unanimously confirmed the nomi nations of the following Cabinet offi cers : James G. Blaine, of Maine, Secre tary of Slate. William Windom, of Minnesota, Secretary of Treasury. Redfield Proctor, of Vermont, Sec retary of War. Benjamin F. Tracy, of New York, Secretary of Navy. John W. Noble, of Missouri, Secre tary of Interior. John Wannamaker, of Pennsylva nia, Postmaster Ueueral. W. H. H. Miller, of Indiana, At torney General. Jeremiah Husk, of Wisconsin, Sec retary of Agriculture. Mr. Blaine being Secretary of Slate it is probable that the foreign policy of the Government will be more ac tive, and perhaps more aggressive, than it has been under Mr. Bayard. Whatever may be the policy abroad, we have no fears that it will be ag gressive towards the South. There is really no reason why It should be. Mr. Harrison cannot have any object in antagonizing the white people in the South. The Republican party has just been strengthened by the admis sion of four new States; that will in crease its majority in Congress and the Electoral College, an l render it more difficult than ever Jo oust it aj^ain, if Jthje ix^nUnistratiou is a rea- M>nabfy~iable one, aftrf doeS not make enemies in its own party. As w’e have repeatedly stated since last November, we do not think the South has anything to fear from the Republican administration. We would have preferred a Democratic one; but as we could not get this, w’e must go ahead and work out our own prosperity under what we have got. "Why the Farmers are Poor. The President, in his inaugural ad dress, spoke of the benefits of the protective tariff to the farmers. We would be glad to hear him explain why then they are not prospering in any part of the country. In the Northern Stales they are bartly ma king a living; in the Western States they are burdened with mortgages; while in the South they scarcely make their expenses. We saw the state ment published recently that during last January more farms in one of the richest Counties of Pennsylvania had been sold by the Sheriff than in any one year since the panic of 1873. Again, the Senate of Nebraska, a few days ago, adopted a memorial to Con gress urging the necessity for more currency It was stated that there were mortgages to the amount of $150,000,000 on the farms of that State, and that in consequence many farm ers who bad once been owners are now tenants. In Kansas and Minne sola the same conditions exist. In the South, as we know, the farms are also heavily mortgaged, although not to as great extent as in the West. Now’, when men can not make their living tilling the soil, there must be something radically wrong; but the majority of farmers do not seem to know where the fault is. For the past twenty odd years tliey have been selling their products in the cheapest markets and buying their supplies in the dearest, ami for everything they bought they have had to pay an av erage of about 13 per cent, more than it is really worth; and all on account of the tariff, which they are told ben efits them. There is no other class of people in the country so robbed and kept down by the Republican party as the farmers; and yet so many of them keep on voting the Republican ticket all the same It is well known that the farmers of New York State were very influential in electing Mr. Harrison. Why they desire to keep In power a party that robs them M’orse than any other class in the country. Is one of the mysteries of politics. The Augusta & Chattanooga Railway. The Augusta Evening News has stated several times of late that the railway from Augusta direct to Chat tanooga is to be built, and that the trains will be running within twelve months. This road will be of great advantage to Aiken, as it will save 112 miles between here and Chatta nooga. With this line completed, and the line via Edgefield and Union over the Three C’s, we will have ev ery railway facility for communica tion with the West, and by either route we can get ail the coal we need at low prices. The inaugural address of the Presi dent was awaited in the South with much anxiety, as it was thought that in it he w ould outline his policy and make known any particular views he had upon the questions of the day, and especially as they affected the South. He however spoke upon the topics of principal interests in very general terms, except when he stated distinctly that he had ‘‘rejected the suggestion ef a special executive poli cy for any section of our Country,” indicating that there will be no so- called Southern policy under his ad ministration. As a Republican and protectionist be earnestly approved of and urged the continuance of the full est measure of protection, expecting that before long the protective tariff principle would act in breaking the Democratic solidity of the South. His remarks in reference to civil ser vice reform were unexceptionable, and he stated that be would expect the heads of all departmeuts and other offiicials to enforce the law ful ly and without evasion. As to this, if we felt satisfied that his actions could firmly correspond with bis words, we would have all that could be wished, but as the representative of a party of spoils and corruption, we fear it will be impossible for him to resist the pressure that will be brought to bear on him. In reference to the troublesome sur plus, while he recognizes it as an evil, he disapproves of any reduction in the tariff to prevent its accumulation, but rather suggests that it be a; plied to the redemption of the public debt. In the matter of elections, he thought the obvious rem edy for the evils resulting from universal suffr age was te be found in education, and clearly recognized the moral right of one section of the Country to insist that elections in another, that affected the whole, should be free from fraud, and oppression. Or the whole the address was such as might have been expected from him; thoughtful, carefully prepared, but very general in its character, and not one of very striking force. The Town of Barnwell has placed' all of its bonds at the price of $102, showing a confidence in the prospects of the town by investors. The Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina lost two valuable clergymen last week. Rev. John F. Finlay died > his father’s home near Greenville and Rev. Thos. B. Clarkson died at his home at Eastover. They both had been in the ministry only a few years, and were most earnest in mission work. Important Excarslon Parties. On Saturday a notable party of capitalists including Messrs. John H Inman. John C. Calhoun, Abram 8. Hewitt, Edward Cooper and others left New York in two special cars, to make a tour of the South, ostensibly for pleasure, but it is well known also for the purpose of examining some of the coal and iron fields of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. It is said that Mr. Hewitt contem plates removing bis great iron indus try trom Penusylvania to some point in the South. This alone would bf of great importance, as he employs 2,- 000 workmen, all of whom with their families would be carried to the new field. All the members of the Canadian parliament, numbering between 300 and 400, will visit this country soon on the invitation of a large number of wealthy and influential citizens. These citizens are to bear all the ex penses of the excursion. They are largely interested in railroads in all parts of the country. This excursion will be under the management of Mr. J. H. Wicks, second vice president of the Pullman Car Co., and will occupy three special trains,which will be furnished by the Pullman Car Company. The cars will be the finest owned by that com pany, Each of the special trains will consist of nine ears—six sleepers, one baggage, one smoking and one din ing car. The Savannah, Florida and Western railway has exteuded an invitation to the excursionists to visit Savannah and to take a trip through Florida over the lines of the Plant system. The invitation will doubtless be ac cepted. These excursions must eventually be of great value to the South. Travel to the Sonth. The rapidly increasing list of arri vals in Aiken published in The Re corder is an evidence that the travel to the South has at last picked up. Even up to date Aiken has had an unusual number of visitors, as is evi dent by comparing the lists of the hotels and boarding houses this sea son with the last. There are about six hundred and fifty visitors here now, about one-fourth more than were here at the corresponding time last year. We have been sorry to learn that comparatively few have gone to Florida. There is really no reason for this, and at this season there can be no possibility of danger. It is always to the interest of Aiken that Florida should be well patronized, and next month we will miss the people who usually stop here on their way home from the land of flowers. Bj r inquiry with some of the hotel and railway men elsewhere, we learn that the Southern travel during the past week lias increased strikingly Many persons delayed their trips un til after the inauguration; and the warm winter at the North has induced many to stay at home until the month of March. This month, tne most trying at the North, they wish to spend in the South. While the ag gregate travel southwards for the sea son will be behind that of last year, for the next thirty days it is expected to be very heavy. The Samoa Sensation. Most sensational reports have pub lished in the papers within the past few days of a collision between the United States and German war ves sels in the waters of Samoa. It is re ported that the United States steamer Nipsic has been sunk by the German steamer Olga. The reports have not been confirmed, and we trust are un true. They have probablv been circu lated for stock jobbing purposes in Berlin, or New’ York. It is not prob able that two such countries, as the United States, and Germany w’ould go to war over such a matter as Sa moa. But if such unfortunate result should be precipitated we have every confideuce that the United States Navy will give a good account of it self. Ox Tuesday last anumterof people left Augusta, bound for Utah, and were ioined at Groveton and Atlan ta by larger numbers. There was about one train load, all of whom have accepted the Mormon faith and will settle In the Territory. The Mor mon Elders seem to work openly and unmolested in Augusta and other parts of Georgia. MR. HARRISON’S ADDRESS. Col. John’sox, general manager of the Three C’s Railway, stated that work on the Augusta, Edgefield and Union Division would be begun by the end of March; but it is probable that he will wait until the decision of the Supreme Court is filed iu the Township Bond cases. The argu ments in these cases are all in, and a decision may be expected at an early day. The Vanderbilt Bevevolent Associ ation of Charleston went on to join in the Republican Triumph in Wash ington on the 4th inst. They were lavish in their benedictions on the power that is. Would it not have been well to have waited to see what manner of man the President proves to be by his course towards South Carolina, before blessing him? We have not learned that they blessed Mr. Cleveland. The power that was. Apportionment of the School Funds. The School Commissioner has made his apportionment of the estimated school funds for the fiscal year ending 1st of November, 1889. These funds arise from the two mill school tax and the poll tax, and the calculations are based .upon the assessment as shown by the Auditor’s books. Aiken, Dist.

The average attendance upon the schools of the County during the last fiscal year was 1,838 white and 2,092 colored; a total of $3.28 for each scholar. The above apportionment is mads under the law which requires that the School Commissimver shall annually on the first day of February, or/ae soon thereafter as practicable, appor tion the income of the County School fund among the several school dis tricts of bis county, in proportion to the average number of pupils attend ing the free public schools in each district. 4 The several Boards of trustees shall apportion the fund coming to their respective districts in a just and equit able manner and to the best advan tage of the interest of their school districts; remembering that all con tracts which boards of trustees may make in excess ot the funds appor tioned to their districts are void. The Fourt h Trial ot Jones for the murder of Edward Pressley Sr. Edgefield, March 7.—For the fourth time the court to-day entered upon the trial ofR. S. Jones for the murder of Edward Pressley, Sr. The famous triple murderer appeared in court looking well, with an uncon cerned air about him, as has been the case at every trial. His wife aud three children came into court and remained all day. In selecting the jurors this morning, the Solicitor had several of them sworn on their voir dire, and the most astonishing fact was developed on th<^ examination of two of them that they had spent last night in jail with the prisoner in a social game of cards ;yet they were not prejudiced for or against him. They were.of course, accepted by the prisoner. Investiga tion reveals the fact that Jone’s wit nesses or anybody who chose to go in to see Jones had free access to his room. In justification of such unpre cedented liberty being allowed Jones by thejailor Major Gary the prisoner’s counsel, stated in open court that the prisoner had a right to receive com pany; and so far as jurors having ac cess to Jones’ room was concerned, that every term of court the jailor took several of them as boarders and gave them sleeping apartments in the jail. Solicitor Nelson gave notice that such privileges must cease. The trial will last three days, at the end of which time another mistrial will no doubt be entered. It is hardly possible that any jury could be found sj devoid of self-respect and con science as to render a verdict of not guilty; but yet there has been on every jury In this case two or three who were in favor ®f turning this red- handed man-slayer on the commui- ty. Chief Justice Fuller Coming to Charleston. The April Term of the United States Circuit Court will be convened in Charleston on the first Monday in April, and promises to be one of the most interesting and important ses sions of the Court ever held. Chief Justice Fuller will preside and will be assisted by Judge Bond, of the Cir cuit Court, and Judge Simonton, of the District Court. The case of Isa bella Lee against Richard W. Simp son for the possession of the Fort Hill property, which was left to the State by the Clenison bequest, and a ! number of other important civil cases will be tried. As the United States Supreme Court does uot adjourn un til the last of April, it is probable i that criminal cases will be tried when the Court meets injApril, and that the civil business will then he postponed until the arrival 6f Chief Justice Ful ler iu May.

Macon Telegraph: Asa rhetorical effort. President Harrison’s inaugural was a success, but it will not take rank as a statesmanlike declaration. It is full of loopholes, ambiguities and commonplace generalities. In addi tion to these defects it has a distinct tinge of demagogery. The inaugufol address gives the Country no definite idea of the sort of Presideut Mr. Harrison will be. We will have to wait and see. Indianapolis Sentinel: There is notiiing to get excited about or enthu siastic over in President Harrison’s inaugural. It is a very dad and coto- monplace performance, full of hack neyed generalities and well worn platitudes—with a good deal of flfce talk about patriotism and purity aSd that sort of thing, and, as was to ^be expected, a veiy free admixture of cant. } An Honest Republican Opinion. i From The Philadelphia Press. Ex-President Cleveland may be sure that he ber-s with him into pri vate life an earnest assurance of pub lic respect for the honesty of his purposes, for the patriotism of his impulses and lor the cleanliness of his Administration. It would be un just in tins hour to deny that his record as President has been courage ous, self respecting aud posessed of a dignity bej’ond tffe level of his party. Hail aud farewell .to you Mr. Cleve land. The Port Royal Railway is said to be in a shocking condition, quite un safe for travel. The Railway Com missioners should overlook It, and force the Company to put it in repair. The Georgetown and Western Rail way Company offers a prize of $50 for the best display of vegetables, to be grown from one acre of ground on the line of the road in 1889. Last week severe earthquake shocks were felt in many parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary land, but no damage was done. The inhabitants were considerably fright ened. The Legislature of North Carolina has passed a Bill providing for an eight box ballot law similar to the one in operation iu this State. A bill of this character operates as an educa tional qualification, aud, does no in justice to any vote r. Jacksonville Times Union: No in augural address more vapid than of President Harrison has ever b delivered within the 100 years of oi»Y national history which rounded t je centennial period yesterday. T ie contrast between his delivery and t >e ringing utterances of Garfield, m^ k the limit between genius and coi >- monplace. It is never to besuppos d that an inaugural address shall d< *1 with partisan issues, yet a large por tion of the new President’s time wfw taken up with a fourth-class argument in favor of the Republican heresy of protection. He should have reserved thut discussion for a message to Con gress. KENTUCKY’S EPIDEMIC. There are two living ex-Presidents —Mr. Hayes and Mr. Cleveland. The genuine American has a sort of con tempt for Mr. Hayes, who became the ttut beneficiary of a political fraud, but r. Cleveland carries with him to private life the admiration and re spect of millions of fair-minded peo ple. Physicians in Doubt Respectii Character of the Malady. There appears to be no abate! in the ravages of the mysterious dis ease that has prevailed in Webster County, Kentucky, for the last ^x weeks. The impression is that it is increasing, and it the physicians w<fce to express their opinion honestly they would in all probability declare it to be epidemic. There have been about 130 deaths from the disease up to tjie present time. The people of the coun ty are greatly alarmed, and hundreds of them have sought safety in adjoin ing counties. The physicians are in doubt res pett ing the character of the malady, and, hence, they are at a Joss how lo trsat it. The victims aie first attacked by a chili, wiiich is quickly followed by a hot fever, lasting from sixteen to twenty-four hours. When the feier subsides a peculiar eruption shows It self all over the body, and the vic tim’s head is drawn back in a vity painful position. Death follows die chill in aoout forty hours.

The people are afraid to meet, because they do not know but that the disease may be contagioM. By some it is thought that the source of the disease is a creek which runs through the county, and which *nr years ties been clogged.with and other refuse matters from mills on its banks. A made for physicians and nurses News has just reached Jacksonville from Okeeookobee of a bloody affray among the Seminole Indians in the Everglades. “Jim,” a young buck, went crazy, and with a Winchester rifle, started out on the war-ptoth One hundred and fifty men, waraen and children parsed through Chatta nooga last Tuesday night from Geor gia and Alabama, bound for Utah, in charge of three Mormon elders.

The Rev Byron Holly, of St. Phil ip’s Church, of Atlanta, has been called to the rectorship of Christ Epis copal Church, of Greenyille, the call being made at a congregational meet ing held Friday. Mr. Holly has for some time been in charge of the church formerly served by the Rev. Dr. Arm strong, aud is a young preacher of ability and reputation. On Saturday night at about mid night a most horrible murder was committed iu Charleston. Mr. Wil liam Munzenmair, a young man well and most favorably known had his throat cut with a razor on King street near Cannon.and died instantly. From the reports published it seems that he with some companions had been play ing cards in a neighboring bar-room, and when the bar was closed at mid night some of the party began quar reling, and scuffling.when one of them O’Weir drew a razor aud slashed at Munzenmair, cutting his throat from ear to ear, but it seems had been firsl slashed by him with a knife. All ol’ the party concerned have been ar rested, and are now in jail. The kill ing seems to have been the result of a sort of promiscuous fight, and all of the parties were more or less iu li quor.

Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts already experienced here render infection impossible.
