Next week the annual election will be held in Aiken for Intendant and Wardens to serve for the following year. The character of the men elec ted is of the utmost importance to all Interests in the town, more so with us perhaps than in many of the other interior towns of the State. Aiken being the annual resort of- many strangers, who are accustomed to well governed and orderly towns elsewhere, it is very important, if we wish such persons to settle among us and invest money here, that they should be im pressed with a sense of security to life and property. There is nothing that militates against a place more than the idea that there good order and full protec tion to life and property can not be implicitly relied upon, and for this reason It is of the utmost Importance that the Intendant and Warden* elec ted should be men whose impulses and interests are solely with the law- abiding members of the community, and who may be relied on to suppress all disorders, punish every evil-doer, and sternly uphold the ordinances in every particular. The Intendant and all the Wardens should be chosen for their peculiar fitness, and should be men who are true representatives of the tax-payers and all others who have their interests involved in the prosperity of the town. With a good municipal government Aiken can easily attain the impor tant position she should have, but without a law-enforcing and efficient one, she will be avoided by those per sons who make most desirable citi zens. We trust our people will act together next week and elect such a ticket as will be a credit to the town. The Impracticable. It really seems to us that the Char leston News and Courier and the Greenville Daily News are raging over the heathen very unnecessarily and imagining very vain things, when they advocate the ideas sug gested by Mr. W. P. Calhoun, of Ab beville, and alleged to be suggested by Senator Hampton, of the emigra tion or colonization of the negroes We acknowledge to the fullest ex tent the desirability of the scheme, but it is utterly impracticable, and we do not see much use In wasting time and printer's ink in discussing it. Tlie negroes are here, and here they will stay; and these facts would form a much more reasonable basis of discussion. Ip fact we thly^B that the much more important than they de serve to be. 'The whites are in ful possession of the South, and always will be; and so long as we act togeth er we can ignore the negroes, while at the same time treating them with every kindness and the fullest justice. There is no probability that the Re publican Government at Washington will ever interfere again with the lo cal matters of the Southern States That Government never did have any use for the negroes, except as so many voters; and now that they cannot outvote the whites they are thrown aside. And what has even more in fluence is that the pecuniary interests of the North are so large now in the South, that the Goverment dare not take any step that will have a ten dency to affect those interests injuri ously. Mr. Harrison and his party have no love for the South, and would willingly see us humiliated and bar- rusxed, but they dare not molest us. For these reasons we see no use in discussing the improbable and im practicable. Cumberland Gap, Ky. The development of Cumberland Gap, Ky., reads almost like a fairy tale. Within the past few months a town of already 4,000 inhabitants has sprung up just beyond the Gap, and no less than seven companies have been organized to take advantage of the great mineral resources that have heret«fore been locked up in these mountain fastnesses. It is no exag geration to say that this is the great est mineral region known in this country, and it has just been opened by the completion of the great tunnel that connects the States of Kentucky Tennessee and Virginia. Tills Gap is the gateway through the Cumberland Mountains, and the gateway from South Carolina to the Northwest. It was to have been the line of the C. C. G. & C. Railway and may yet be if this railway is pushed through. The distance from the Gap to either Charleston or Savannah is only 330 miles and it will be seen which of these cities strives to make this important connection. It is one of the most important opportunites offered in many jears. So far as railway advantages are concerned, it seems as if Charleston is being cutoff more and more yearly, until she is bottled up as much as Ben Butler was at Jamestown, Va. When the connection between the Northeastern and Savannah Railways was made by Ashley Junction and built with Charleston capital, thecitv was practically cut off from most of the winter travel tb Florida, There is now* another scheme on foot to ex tend the Eutawville Railway from its present terminus at Pregnalls through Walterboro to Yemassee, the junc tion of the Savannah and Port Royal Railways. This will give a direct line from Sumter, S. C.. to Savannah, Ga., and actually shorten the distance to be travelled between Wilmington and Savannah, and will leave Char leston to one side more than ever. If the South-Bound Railway is ever completed from Savannah to Barn well, it will be another blow’ at Char leston, as it will also divert, travel and trade from the old city. With all the wealth that there is in Charles ton, there does not seem to have been for many years the disposition or abil ity to resist and compete with the railway combinations that have been steadily cutting off the travel mid trade that naturally should belong to that city. This is an era of railway enterprises, and a city can retain its commeree only by an active and ag gressive policy on the part of its cap italists. Among the changes that may he advantageously made in the charter of Aiken, we would suggest that of making the terms of Intendant and Wardens two years instead of one. Longer terms have a tendency to make better officials and enhance the importance of their positions. There is no advantage in having an election every year, with ail of the annoyance and discord that necessarily attends it. Once in two years is quite often enough, and at the next session of the Legislature we trust an amend ment will be accordingly made to the charter to have our municipal election biennially hereafter. NOTES FROM SAIjLY’S. We have received from our breth ren of the Chicago press a circular letter setting forth the great advan tages afforded by their city for the holding of the World’s Exposition of J892. We regret to have to say that we differ from our respected friends, and while it is not a matter in which we take much interest, we would only say that we think Chicago a very un suitable place for the Exposition. We would suppose that either New’ York or Washington would be much more suitable. Sally’s, S. C., Aug. 29, 1889. Fat mere are veiy busy just now storing away their forage and getting ready for cotton picking. Both cotton and corn are extra fine. The melon business, which proved al most a total failure, is over for the season. It is said that a certain thri ving farmer of this section asserts that next year he intends to shoot every melon vine that puts forth an appearance in his fields. There has been any quantity of fruit this year. We heard of one man who fed his pigs on peaches so much that when feed-time came they would shut both eyes tight and go to the trough backwards and feel to see if they had nothing but peaches again. Our little “city,” though young, is in quite a flourishing condition; sev eral buildings are being erected and new stores are being opened, among which is that of Mr. WU,lie Martin, formerly of Blackviile, w’bo has just friends, the other merchants are not behind in offering inducements for trade. Miss Addie Price is visiting rela tives in Athens, Ga. The young men of this community had better look to their interests or they will find that they are “left.” Miss Julia S. Jones, of Charleston, after having spent some time with her brother, the Rev. R. H. Jones, of your town, is here visiting her sis ter, Mrs. Price. Felix. It w as one of the curiosities of the Pilgrim monument celebration last week that it was controlled by Uni tarians. Only their clergy were cler ical guests, and only laymen of that faith held positions of honor and pow er. Even at Plymouth Rock the old orthodoxy had to take back seats. You Carry A whole medicine chest in your pocket, with one box of Ayer’s Pills. As they operate directly on the stomach and bowels, they indirectly affect every other organ of the body. When the stomach is out of order, the head is affected, digestion fails, the blood be comes impoverished, and you fall an easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when she says: u 1 use no other medicine than Ayer's Pills. They are all that any one needs, and just splendid to save money in doctors’ bills.” Here is an instance of A Physician who lost his medicine chest, but, having at hand a bottle of Ayer’s Pills, found himself fully equipped.— J. Arrison, M. D., of San Jose, Cal., writes: “ Some three years ago, by the merest accident, I was forced, so to speak, to prescribe Ayer’s Cathartic Pills for several sick men among a party of engi neers in the Sierra Nevada mountains, my medicine chest having been lost in crossing a mountain torrent. I was surprised and delighted at the action of the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was led to a further trial of them, as well as of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer in their favor.” John W. Brown, M. D., of Oceana, W. Va., writes: “ I prescribe Ayer’s Pills Hi my practice, and find them excellent. I urge their general use in families.” T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore, Md., writes: “ That Ayer’s Pills do con trol and cure the complaints for which they are designed, is as conclusively proven to me as anything possibly can be. They are the best cathartic and aperi ent within the reach of the profession.” Ayer’s Pills, PREPARED BT Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mast. Sold by all Druggists. Ciyfia’s New -tort and Florida W.

New York, Aug. 23.—The four murderers of women, Patrick Paek- enham, Jack Lewis, colored, James Nolan and Ferdinand Carotin were banged in the yard of the Tombs prison this morning. There were two scaffolds and two men were hanged on each. Patrick Packenham was an intelli gent, well educated man, whose be setting sin was drink. He had a good wife, a woman who took the best of care of his home and children, yet he murdered her brutally, John Lewis, alias Black Jack, shot aud killed Alice Jackson in the kitch en of house No. 84 West Third street, where she was getting Ineakfast on the morning ot July 17, 1888. He came from the South. James Nolan murdered a woman named Emma Buck, another man’s wife with whom he was improperly intimate. Charles Ferdinand Carotin murder ed a woman named Bridget Quinn, who passed as ilia wife, in a small back room in the tenement at 47 Stanton street, on the afternoon ot March 1G, 1888. Mrs. Maybrlck’s Sentence. Brierly, Mrs. Maybrick’s lover, ex pects to buy cotton in the Southern States for Liverpool firms, who have entrusted him with commissions. His business in Liverpool was ruined by the Maybrick affair. He will he something of a curiosity in this coun try, tor a time at least. Mrs. May- brick. for the next nine months, will be kept in solitary confinement in some county jail. She will not be permitted to send or receive a letter, or to have any communication with the outside world. After that period she will be sent to some one of the convict prisons, and if her conduct has been exemplary she will be al lowed one visitor and one letter a year. It is safe to predict that she will not survive that sort of life very long. One of the New York newspapers says that when President Harrison and ex-President Cleveland arrived in that city the other day, the one on the Pilgrim aud the other on the Provi dence, they were in speaking distance of eacli «ther as they stood on deck, aud no doubt each saw the other, hut neither spoke. The same newspaper says that President Harrison rode dead-head, wiiile Mr. Cleveland paid his fare. A prominent hank president of; Charleston says that the demand for: money now is good and will increase j considerably in the next few weeks. | The banks, however, are using pre caution in lending it,asthe forthcom- ng cotton crop will cause a heavy de mand for money in the interior coun ties. fiST 7 To the Rcade^gira sdoia K±iAD riiirtHRGi Will buy 14 Rolls GolT^^Ifler and Bordt Room.
