Boatwright, to gether with about 24 bales of cotton and about 300 bushels of corn, was a heavy blow. The loss was about$1,500. with no insurance. The origin of the fire is supposed to be incendiary. A little son of Mr Walter Quattle- baum. who lives at the old Steadman mill, some eight or nine miles east of Batesburg, died on Friday last from the effects of a gin &aw accident that happened about ten days before. The boy’s hand and arm were terribly lac erated. The barn and stables of Mr J. C. Rambo, at Ridge Spring, were de stroyed by fire on last Saturday morn ing. Mr Rambo lost several hundred bushels of cotton seed aud a horse and wagon. Mr C. B. Crouch, from whom Mr Rambo bought the place, bad not moved his peas and fodder and four bales of long staple cotton. Mr Rambo’s loss was about $300, and Mr Crouch’s about $400. No insu rance. A large number of physicians, members of the American Health As sociation will arrive to-night at half past ten o’clock from Charleston as the guests of the town. They will be accompanied by Judge Aldrich, Drs. T. G. Croft, B. F. Wyman, B. H. Teague, H. J. Ray and D. S. Hender son. Esq., members of the reception committee.

To-morrow they will be driven about the town and neighborhood, aud at half past three o’clock in the afternoon lie given a banquet at the Highland Park Hotel. It is hoped that the weather will con tinue as clear and fine as it is at this moment, and we are sure our citizens will do all in their power to let their guests have a most agreeable impres- tion of Aiken. The New Penitentiary Officials, The Augusta Chronicle. In joint Assembly on Wednesday the South Carolina Legislature elect ed a new superintendent and board of directors of tbe state penitentiary. There were six candidates in the field for the superinteudency—W. W Brooker, W. J. Tolbert, J. T. Gaston, J. R. Earle, Henry Massey and T. J. Lipscomb, the present incumbent, who lias held the position for years. Talbert was easily elected on the first ballot by a vote of 112, none of the other candidates receiving more than 17. and Superintendent Lipscomb get ting only 1. The directors elected are W. A. Seal, Henry Oliver, T. J. Cunning ham. All of these are new men. The new superintendent. W. J. Tal bert, is the Edgefield man who led the famous Culbreath lynching party and gained considerable notoriety by lis dictatorial manner in presiding over the September convention. He s regarded as a tyranical man. Pine Fibre Matting. Messrs. Editors: In the Christian Weekly it is stated that “progressive doctors now direct nurses to arrange >unches of pine branches with the stems in large water-bowls to be ilaced in the sick room.” Progressive physicians would save trouble and increase the beneficial ef fects of the pine by inducing their patients to use in their rooms the floor matting made of the pine fibre. When a fire is made in a room carpeted with this fibre, the warmth causes a delightful aroma to he diffused by the matting, most grateful to invalids; and when a fresh cold is contracted, and one’s throat and bronchial tubes feel sore and clogged, the aroma soothes and heals most agreeably, and after a time one wonders where the cold is gone. For hall and bed-room floors this matting is a boon to invalids. • One Who Uses It. Some Facts about Return Tickets. As we said last week, it was re ported that the railway companies were about to cease selling all re turn tickets. The facts of the case are as follows: For many years the scalpers have been making money, buying and selling return tickets over the railways, and the South Carolina Railway authorities determiued to break up this traffic. Col. Pickens, passenger agent of the South Carolina Railroad issued an order that after the close of the busi ness on December 14th all ten-day round trip tickets to local stations on the Carolina, also on the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Rail roads shall he withdrawn from sale. These tickets in future will only be sold or. special circulars issued from headquarters. Not only have the ten days’ round trip tickets been withdrawn, but also Saturday excursion rate tickets and Sunday round trip tickets. Col. Pick ens thinks that this action will break up the business on this road. Heretofore this line has been sell ing round trip tickets on all days and from all points along the line at 6 cents per mile which was a saving of one cent a mile to travellers, and on Saturday and Sunday round trip tickets were sold at 4 cents a mile. These are the tickets that will he withdrawn from sale. The round trip ticket good for one day between Aiken and Augusta at 75 cents and the 50 cents Sunday round trip ticket between Aiken and Augus ta and to intermediate points will continue to he sold. On Account of competition of the Port Royal and Augusta Road the South Carolina railway compan\ will not withdraw excursion tickets be tween Augusta and Charleston. It is understood that the Richmond and Danville Road will follow the South Carolina Road’s example and withdraw all round trip tickets from sale on its road with the hope of breaking up the ticket brokers busi ness.

C., Mr Colleton Glover, aged about 55 years. Tbe deceased left a widow, 8 children, 2 sisters, and 5 brothers, to mourn his irreparable loss. Kind hearted, stfictly honest, gen erous, neighborly and industrious, Mr Glover was devoted to his family and was highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. The large attendance at his funeral showed that his death was deeply re gretted. W. A. McCrackan. When Baby was sick, we gave her CastorU. When she waa a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Mias, she dung to Ceetoste. When she had Children, ahe gave them CaSMrte. Kaolin Bett er Than Gold. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, under date of the 14th inst., says: “A gentleman who registered at the Grand' Central Hotel to-night has knowledge of a discovery wbich when fully developed will make the kaolin beds of the State infinitely more val uable than tbe phosphate deposits. He asked the correspondent if he knew Mr P. A. Emanuel of the Aiken Bar, which being answered, he went on to relate the following facts: It is known that a fortune not to be reckoned by millions awaits the dis coverer of a cheap process for the manufacture of aluminum. About a year ago Mr Emanuel applied himself to this problem, and it is believed that he has arrived at its correct solu tion. The material which be used is the kaolin of Aiken County, the basis with which he worked sulphuric acid. On making the discovery Mr Eman uel went to Washington and submit ted his processes to the scientists there, and now has his discovery se cure from attack by the proper letters, patent and caveats. Not very long ago aluminum was sold at about $26,000 a ton, but by a process which was considered final the'price was reduced at Pittsburg to two dollars and a half a pound or about $5,000 a ton. made^now that by tbe ingenuity can be fre 18 Of Mr Emanuel aluminum cau be freed from kaolin at a cost of about two dollars and a half a ton, being a price two t housand times less than by the Pittsburg process. As there is now more demand in the world for alumi num for mechanical purposes than there is for gold, the immensity of the field and fortune for the discoverer will be apparent. It is said that half a million dollars has already been offered for a location near Aiken for a plant to develop th? aluminum iudustry. If the facts be as stated, and there is no reason to doubt them, as the gentleman who stated them is a man of education and responsibility, there are more millions at less cost under ground in Aiken County than there were on the Island of Monte Carlo.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr King’s New Discovery for Con sumption, Dr King’s New Life Pills.

Factory Harrison St. STANIiETS’S GREATEST WORK “IN DARKEST AFRICA.” WHAT NAPOLEON WAS in his prime in tl|e field of war, that Stan ley is to-day in Exploring Africa and opening that Continent to civiliza tion.—Boston Herald. “ ’THE END CROWNS THE WORK,’ did I say December 10th, 1886? I say it again this date of 1860. I have brought exiles back to their homes; I have reunited parted fami lies; I have rescued those who were iu sore straits; I have borne the young and aged and placed them in their loved laud of Egypt: I have brought the beleaguered Governor out of his threatened bondage. Where fore, as those were the aims of the work and they have been accom plished, I say ’the end crowns tbe work.’ True, I am blanched and white, but what matters it? I have naught to regret, and if any mission of like nature presented itself I should still wish to do it; for whether here or there, life stays not, but rushes ou apace, and men must work and strive. But let us do it bravely and fitly, with all our strength.”—Stanley 1 * Letter. AGENT— for Aikeu and Edgefield Counties, John Laird, AIKEN, S. C.
