Smith and child, returned on Saturday from Blowing Rock, N. C where they had been spending several months. The town clock is again on the ram page, and most lavish with the use of its striking apparatus. Seriously this clock should be kept in proper order by some one; it is very misleading as it works now. The weather continues uncommon ly cool for this season of the year. In fact the whole summer has been com paraitvely cool. There has been no warm weather of which any ore dycomplaln* The Alliance Meeting. On last Saturday Mr. Ben Terrell addressed the farmers of Aiken Coun ty at the court house here, on matters particularly appertaining to their in terests. There was quite a good crowd present, and many farmers came into town to hear him. The speaker was introduced to the audi ence by Hon. Jas. M. Cobb of Silver- ton, the President of the Aiken County Alliance, and Mr. Terrell at once proceeded with his interesting address. He urged the importance of organizations among the farmers, and tnat they should keep to the pur poses of their organizations. He very wisely deprecated the notion of the value of cheap labor, demonstrating that so-called cheap labor meant un satisfactory results. As a general rule everything has its value, and can not be obtained for less. He advised the farmers not to rush in their cotton in response to the advice of merchants and factors, but to watch the market and sell only when the price is good. He claimed that they were under no pressure to sell, but could hold their cotton and borrow money on it if they pleased. Mr. Terrell's address was listened to with much attention, and was en ioyed by all those present. At its close a meeting of the members of the Alliance was held, from which all outsiders were excluded. Municipal Politics. Ci^niesday tl Tesday the 10th of September competitive examination will be held at the Court House in Aiken, for the two beneficiary scholorships in the South Carolina University, estab lishedby the Alumni Association. Mr. J. C. Clay will reopen his fish and oyster shop next week at his old stand on Laurens street; next to Mr. J. H. Loomis'; and the the houskeep- ers of Aiken can rely upon obtaining from him fresh fish and oysters at all times. Services have been held at the Bap fist church in Aiken every evening this week, by the pastor, the Rev. Lucius Cuthl»eit assisted by the Rev. W. E. Johnson of Furman Uni versity. The attendance has been good and much interest manifested. The oompetetive examination for the beneficiary cadetship at the Cita del will be held at the Court House in Aiken on Thursday the 12th Septem ber; and the examining board is com posed of Messrs. J. R. Mack and John Gary Evans with Dr. B. F. Wy man. Work on the font bridge at Ham burg is slowly progressing and it is thought that it will be finished by the 15th of September. The Town Coun cil of Augusta has not yet decided whether the bridge will be free or not, hut strong pressure is being brought to hear upon that body to make it free from all toll. Mr. Wm. M. Hutson having sold his interest in the Insurance firm of Hutson & Co., has taken the agen cies for this State of the Mutual Ben efit Life Insurance Company, of New ark, N. J., and the Standard Accident Company of Detroit, Mich., both of them very strong and reliable com- I tanies. Mr. Hutson is now travel ing over the State iu the interest of this business. Mr. W. P. Jopling, of Augusta, died on the 28th inst., in the 43d year of his age, after a short illness. He was well known to many of our people and came to Avgusta from Virginia, and was for years engaged in the manufacture of bricks—a member of the firm of Bondurant & Jopling. He closed out his interest in this business a few years ago, has recently been farming near Bath in this County. The Bretlenberg A Snelling Cases. The two following cases have been interesting to many persons in the community and we therefore give ab stracts of the decrees of Judge Wal lace that have recently been filed. J. J. JJ reden berg et al. plaintiff’s, vs Geo it. Landrum, et al., defendants. Decree tiled in favor of thedefendent, Geo 8. Landrum, dismissing thecom- plaint and granting foreclosure to Lan drum against the rights of judgement creditors and ordering the sale of the T. H. Meyer’s lands on the Savannah river. P. A. Emanuel and W. T. Gary for the plaintiff; Henderson Bros., and Croft and Dunlap for Landrum: John Gary Evans and E.S.Hammoud for the judgement creditors, defend ants, and James T. Izlar for T. H. Meyer, defendant. Wm. H. Snelling vs Mrs. Carrie V. Lamar. Decree in favor of the de fendant dissmissing the complaint. This was tin action brought to recover a portion of the farm of the late Wm. 8. Walker. Messrs. Geo W. Croft, J. R. Cloy and O. C. Jordan for plain tiff; and Henderson Bros., for defen : dant. As the time for the annual, yearly, every twelvemonth election for the town officials comes around, the local excitement becomes intense. There is now a good deal of discussion as to who will govern the town for the coming year. Thus far two tickets have been proposed, the first being: For Intendent: F. B. Henderson. For Wardens: Henry Busch, J. F. Albrandt, Henry Smith, H. B. Burckhalter, Rev. John Philips, colored, John Adkins, colored, and the second: For Intendent: John T. Gaston. For Wardens: B. P. Chatfield, Henry Smith, Henry Busch, F. W. Weasels, Johd Philips, colored, E. J. Dickerson, colsred. The taxpayers will have to pay their money and may take their choice. Very Pretty Entertainment. Last evening some of the young members of St. ThaddCus congrega tion gave a very pretty and interest ing theatrical and musical entertain ment at Mrs. Walpole’s house, in aid of the fund for furnishing the Parish Hall. A very pretty operetta “King Alfred,” was acted ann sung by Misses Mellie Cain and Emma Walpole and Messrs. Otis Walpole, Willie Edger- ton, Ives Edgerton, Nat Walpole and Joe King, who all did their parts with much skill and received repeated en cores. Some very graceful and really hand some tableaux were acted by Misses Rowe, Carroll, Mary Raveuel, Rosa Townsend and Ella Walpole, and Messrs. Walter Ashley, W. W. Muck enfuss, Chas. Carroll and Theodore Croft. . A glee was delightfully sung by the ‘etrtmm Chnir; and a swoot song by Mr. John Laird and Misses Emma Walpole and Minnie Chafee. The participants in the operetta and and tableaux were all in costume, and carried out their parts very hand somely. Between the parts lefresh- ments were served. It was one of the pleasantest and most successful entertainments of the season, and a good sum was realized for the purpose intended. School Affairs. It is stated authoritatively that Mr. F. H. Curtis, lately master of the Ai ken Institute, will not return to Aiken again, and on Tuesday an in formal meeting of the trustees was held to consider the matter, with the view of taking some steps toward ob taining a thoroughly qualified teach er to fill his place. Mr. Curtis had a very promising school of from HO to 60 scholars, and it was really hoped that be would have given Aiken such a school as the place needs. But the school is now practically disbanded, and will remain so until it is reor ganized by some one who is really capable of organizing and retaining a first class school. Mr. Curtis had an excelleut opportunity here, but prov ed unequal to the requirements of the position. We saw it stated several weeks ago in the Hampton County papers, and again in yesterday’s News and Courier that he would take charge of the school iu Hampton this Fall. The Town Council Vs. Luther Holley. This case has attracted considerable local interest, and therefore the main facts are given as follows: On last Friday Mr. Holley was summoned before the Inteudant to answer a charge of disorderly conduct, committed on the public street on Sunday night, the 18th inst. He was sentenced to work four days on the street or be imprisoned four days. Against this decision he appealed to the Council and his trial was set for Monday afternoon. At that time Council met to con sider the case. The town was tepre- sented by Geo. W. Croft, Esq., and the defense by W. Q. Davis, Esq. Af ter considerable wrangling between the members of Council and the at torney for the defense, the latter stat ed as the case bad taken a different turn from what he had expected, and as material witnesses for the defense were absent, he asked for a continu ance. This was granted by Council, and the trial again set for Wednesday afternoon. At that time Holley again appeared before council to to stand his trial. Several objections were made on this occasion by Mr. Davis to the legality of the trial by council, and even before the trial had progressed he gave notice of his intention to appeal to the Cir cuit Court. However, all of his ob jections were overruled by Council, and after a thorough trial of ihe case Holley was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or be imprisoned ten days. His counsel immediately gave notice of an appeal to the Circuit Court. The Seminole Indians, who are re garded as reliable weather prophets, have predicted a season of unsettled weather for August in Florida. This will continue until about Sept. 5, when they say there will be a change, followed by either a heavy rain or hard wind, after which the weather will be clear for an indefinite period Farmers' Alliance Meetings. M. r - F. M. Smith, the Alliance or ganizer will address the farmers in the interest of the Alliance at the following times and places: Jones’ Cross-road. Mon.

Cl SC Persons passing by the corner of Washington and Ellis streets, Au gusta, w’ill be struck bv the unusually handsome marble work to be seen in the yard of Mr. C. F. Kohlruss. He is the most skillful worker in marble in that city, and his work indicates great talent and taste. Married. Mr. Willie Stone of Newberry was married on the 25th inst., to Miss Fannie Hall of this County. Mr. T. J. Sawyer performed the ceremony. New Cotton. Mr. W. W. Holley hauled two bales of new cotton to Langley yesterday, and sold them at 11 cents per ft>. Not Thin Skinned. Abraham Hocker is a well known and well thought of colored citizen of Aiken County, noted for being the best wood cutter in the County and having the thickest epidermis. He always strikes matches on the palms of his hands, and recently when clearing some woods, barefoot ed on the edge of a creek, he felt something peck at his heel reptatedly and finally looking down saw that he was standing on a water mo casin which was making vigorous, but un successful efforts to strike its fangs into his foot. He raised his foot and crushed its head and put a stop to its foolishness. Sometime ago he was walking about an iron foundry in Augusta, when standing quietly for a few minutes, he sniffled and said “I smell suffn de bun” and after a little sprang violently aside, holding up one leg “Good Marster its my foot de bun.” He had been quietly standing on a piece of red hot iron, which had at last eaten its way through to sen sation. BRING YOUR COTTON EARLY. The Highest Prices Will Prevail Unti October. Lehman, Durr & Co,, cotton factors, iiave issued a circular in which they say:— “The general cotton crop of the country the present year, 1889, prom ises to be the largest ever produced iu the United States, but on account of their being, of the stocks now carried by spinners, so much poor cotton, t\ey (the spinners) will be compelletj to buy of the first picking this year in order to get a better grade with which to work ofT their old stock, so that for a time at least there will be a good de mand for the new crop, and at high prices.” “It looks reasonable to us that cot ton will bring higher prices from now until the first of October than at any time during the next season, and if this be true, then it behooves produ cers to pick and get to market every bale they can. between this and the - - avail first of October, themselves of the to prevail.” in order - to high prices likely To cure chills take Frog Pond Chill and Fever Cure. If it fails to cure go back to the store where you bought it and get your 50 cents back. Every bottle bears the following inscription: “If it cures you tell your neighbor— if it fails condemn it.” Frog Pond Chill and Fever Cure pays the coun try merchant a good profit to handle and gives the customer satisfaction.
