1 Khtf.rkd at the Post Office at Aiken, as secmiH matter. 8. AIKEN. C., AUGUST 21. 1891. IX>CAL. BREVITIES. Mrs. B. F. Turner continues very critically ill. Mrs. Jas. T. Aldrich, of Barnwell, is in Aiken visiting relatives. Mrs. Henry F. Baker and daughter are in Aiken visiting Mrs. F. F. Car- roll. Mrs. Joe. Wingard is lying very critically ill at her re.-idence in the town. The Bon-Air Hotel on the Sand Hills will be sold at public auction to morrow. Mrs. Gaines Ashley and children have gone to Sullivan’s Island for a few weeks. There is an interesting protracted meeting going on at the Millbrook Baptist Church. Miss Lizzie Ravenel has returned from the coast, where she has been spending some weeks. Miss Clelia L. Porcher. who has been visiting relatives in Aiken, re turned to Charleston on Wednesday. Mr. J. G. Thorpe of Graniteville and Mr. G. W. E. Thorpe of Aiken have gone to the mountains for a short trip. The friends of Mr. D. W r . Gaston were glad to learn yesterday that he was somewhat easier, with prospects of improvement. The corn crop of Aiken County is the finest that has been produced for years, and the farmers are now strip ping the blades, and large quantities nave been cured in fine condition. The work of cutting down the weeds in the street is being carried on to good purpose by the town authorities. The frequent moderate showers have made the grass and weeds grow apace. The friends of Mr. W. Scott Tyler, of Silverton Township, will be glad to know that he has finally recovered from the attack of the grip last win ter, and is once more able to attend to the duties of his farm. Accounts of the heated term at the north show that it was simply terri ble. Blizzards in winter and blister ing heat in summer ought to convince the northern people that the place to enjoy life in is Aiken. The Pine Fibre Company’s factory in Hamburg is nearly completed, and will be ready to receive the machin ery very short'y. The building is two stories high, and located just above where the new bridge is being built across the river. In another column will be observed the advertisement of the South Caro lina College in Columbia. This insti tution has been lately reorganized, land under its present able manage- lent the j r ouths of the State can ob- dn an excellent education. and Mrs. E. J. C. Wood are ^veiling over the Eastern States. »y are at present in Portsmouth, )H., and we notice in the Ports- |th Daily Times an interesting ar- evideutly written by Dr. Wood, up the advantages and at tractions Hon. John the Briggs house on Park site the Court House, and will occupy it with his family in a short time. His object in moving into Aiken is to educate his children, whom he will enter in the Aiken Institute at the beginning of the session next month. Mr. J. C. Hutson is now canvassing the County for gin-house insurance. The farmers would consult their in terests by insuring their gin-houses in his good companies, and also by protecting them by the spark arres ters, for the sale of which he is the agent. Petty’s Grand Combination of Min strelsy will give its first illustrious performance at the Lyceum Hall on Monday evening, August 31st.— “In varying cadence, soft or strong. They’ll sweep the sounding chords along. And pour to lord and lady gay The unpremeditated lay/’ It is reported that there will shortly be a change made in the schedule of the South Carolina Railway by which a train will leave Aiken at about 5 o’clock a. m. arr.ving in Charleston about 10 a. m. This will be conse quent upon a change in the schedule of the Georgia Railway, which will cause the night train from Atlanta to arrive in Augusta at 3 30 a. m. We learned a few days since of the result of a melon shipment to a north ern city which indicates the collapsed state of the market. A farmer here had a car-load of uncommonly fine melons, for which he was oflered $85 on the track at Aiken. He declined this and shipped the lot to the North. A few days ago he received return sales showing net proceeds of $1.81 to his credit. The Tourist says: “There are now 9,400 summer visitors at Bar Harbor and the vicinity. Among these is Mrs. Geo. P. Bowler, who gave a din ner of sixteen plates at the Malvern last Sunday evening, and another on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Bowler is a wealthy widow, who assumes great style, talks with a foreign accent, and is regarded as a decidedly interesting personage.” Jim Howard, the negro youth who was accidently shot in the head by a pistol in the hands of Mr. State Sims, died on last Saturday morning. Cor oner Hardin held an inquest over the remains, and the jury brought in a verdict that deceased came to ins dealli by the accidental discharge of a pistol. Mr. Sims, however, as re quired by law in such cases, was bound over to the upper court, giving bond of $500 for his appearance, al though the shooting was wholly ac cidental, and no blame can attack to Mr. Sims. The Charleston News and Courier groans over the hot weather in that city. With the thermometer playing around 94 degrees, the atmosphere naturally charged with moisture, it may well be low-spirited over “the absolute calm that pervaded the at mosphere, when even the Battery failed to catch a whiff, and the har bor was almost as unrlppled as glass, and every craft appeared ‘like a paint ed ship upon a painted ocean.’” All we have to say is if people wish to keep cool they should come to Aiken. The Palmetto Rifles Picnic. The long looked for, and much en joyed picnic given by the Palmetto Rifles on Wednesday, was a most suc cessful affair, reflecting much credit upon all who had a hand in its mau- agameut. Fortunately the rain of the previous afternoon had laid the dust, and although the day was warm there was no dust. The Edgefield Rifles arrived on the Cumberland Gap train at 8:45 A. M., and were met at the station by Capt. Courtney. They marched up to the Palmetto armory, where they were received by the Pal metto Rifles. At about 10:45 the Iwo companies marched to the station to receive the other companies that were coming on the Charleston train. This train was unfortunately two hours behind time, and did not arrive until nearly 1 o’clock. Upon its arrival the Gordon Volunteers of Blackville, Richardson Guards of Moutmorenci, Sally Rifles of Sally, and Brown Guards of Barnwell got off, and with the two other companies fell in in regi mental formation in front of the Park Avenue Hotel. Col. Hall, in com mand w'lth Lieut. Col. Teague. Maj. Drew, Adj. Oakley, and Serg’t, Maj. Buist, in their respective positions, with about 209 men in line, the regi ment inarched up Park Avenue, aud down Laurens street to the Schuetzen grounds, where it was welcomed by Col. C. E. Sawyer in an eloquent speech, delivered with his usual im pressiveness. At the conclusion of Col. Sawyer’s speech he introduced Hon. Geo. W. Croft, who, in a few' stirring words presented the new flag to the regiment. Upon the receipt of the flag by the regiment, Judge James Aldrich responded in behalf of the members in some graceful re marks. Ranks were then broken, and members of the Palmetto Rifles, and their guests devoted themselves to the pleasures of the occasion. These consisted in dancing, swinging roam ing through the woods, and chatting with the many ladies who graced the platz with their presence. Dinner was served under the shade of the trees at about half past two, aud an abundant repast it was, freely partaken of by the large number of persons present. After dinner dancing was resumed in the hall, and kept up during the afternoon. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen from Augusta attend ed, and contributed by rlieir presence to the pleasures of the dav. About 4 o’clock the shooting contest was had. Only four companies participated in this, each selecting live men and having five shots. I’iie scores were as follows: Richardson Guards, 25; Edgefield Rifles, 23; Sally Rifles 22; Palmetto Rifles, 8. The first prize, a silver fruit dish was therefore won by the Richardson Guards; and the se cond, a silver and glass sugar dish, by the Edgefield Rifles. The dancing wtls resumed at night, and continued until the early hours ot yesterday morning, and seemed much enjoyed by the young people. The whole af fair passed oft’pleasantly, and was not marred by any untoward occurrenee. Conledeiate Survivors Meeting. Echoes of the Military Picnic. S, B. Captain J. L. Courtney was unre mitting in his attention to the guests of the Palmetto Rifles ou the occasion of their picnic, and he deserves great praise for the energetic w r ork perform ed in making it so successful. Color-8ergeant Covar, of the 1st _ _ Regiment, presented Colonel B. H. AvenueTop^a-XT-esSJUe with the finest specimen of an I ad i an"ste R.e axe for his that we have ever seen. lie unearth ed it on his farm near Edgefield. The Colonel’s Edgefield friends are gene rous towards him in the line of curi osities, as many specimens in his of fice will show. Sergeant Covar is an old veteran of the 14th S. C. V., and has served in the militia continuously since the war, probably longer than any. other man in the State, as a member of the Edgefield Rifles. Not the least of the many pleasant incidents ot the day of the Palmetto Rifles picnic was the presentation by the Aiken Schuetzen Club of a splen did picture of their late Captain, St. Julien Bland, and a wdiite plume to the Edgefield Rifles. Shortly after dinner the Company was marched into the dancing hall, and there met by a delegation of the Aiken Schuetzen Club. President Hahn introduced W. Quitman Davis, Esq., who read a set of resolutions adopted by the club, on the death of Capt, Bland, and then in a speech of much feeling, which brought tears to the eyes of his hearers, delivered the picture into the bands of Cap. W. \V. Adams ef the Rifles. Colonel B. PL Teague, in a neat speech, then pre sented the plume. Both of these tes timonials of friendship between the two organizations were responded to by Lieut, Lake of the Rifles, in words befitting the moment, aud pledging endearing friendship between the Ri fles aud their generous friends—the Aiken Schuetzen Club. A meeting of the Confederate Sur vivors Association of Aiken County was held in the Court House on Sat- | unlay last, with about sixty members I present. After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, the president, Dr. B. H. Teague, stated that Col. T. J. Davies, who bad been appointed a member of the executive committee, begged to be excused from serving on account of ill health, and therefore he had appointed Dr. T. G. Croft in his place. He had not yet appointed all the township committees, as he had been unable to learn of enough mem bers in each township. Thus far, however, he had made the following appointments: Aiken—A. P. Ford, J. T. Gaston; Gregg—A. G. Howard, Mark Mad- dow; McTier—Joseph Willing; Millbrook—J. E. Wells; Rocky Grove—A. L. Sawyer, J. McKie; Schultz—A. P. Butler, John Hightower. The remaining committees would be appointed as soon as the names of suitab’e members could be obtained. The executive cammittee made a report recommending the adoption of the constitution, rules, and by-laws of the suiviyois asLOciatien of Au gusta, with some modifications, which were specified; that the 21st of July be determined upon as the day for the regular annual meeting of the asso ciation ; and the dues be fixed at fifty cents a year, payable in advance. These recommendations were adopt ed. The four additional officers re quired by the constitution were then elected, as follows: Capt. D. H. Sally, 3d vice president; Mr. A. G. Howard, 4th vice president; Rev. J. C. Browne, chaplain; Mr. V. J. Weeks, sentry. The secretary was instructed to fur nish the treasurer. Mr. F. B. Hender son, with a full list of all the mem bers of the association; aud the treas urer was instructed to notify each member at once of the fact that his dues of fifty cents are payable now. Mr. J. J. Brown was elected a mem ber of the executive committee in the stead of Capt. D. H. Sally, elected 3d vice -president. It was determined that all members of the army, navy, and signal corps of the Confederate States, and their sons, should be eligible for member ship in the association; aud the pres ident aud vice-presidents were in structed to adopt a suitable badge, with the letters “C. S. A.” on them for veterans, and a distinctive badge for the sons of veterans. They were also requested to arrange for having an orator of the day for the annual meeting and picnic on the 21st of July, 1892; and as to the picnic, they should be assisted by the township committees. The association then adjourned to meet again on the 21st of next July, the anniversary of the first battle of Manassas, unless called together ear lier by the president. De Witt’s Sarsaparilla cleanses the blood, increases the appetite and tones up the system. It has benefited many people who have suffered from blood disorders. It will help you. Sold by W. J. Platt. The debate between Senator Butler and Congressman Watson has been called off for the present. It is now said it will take place between the 1st and 10th of Septemher. People with impure blood may be said to exist, not live. Life is robbed of half its joys when the blood is load ed with impurities and disease.

On Wednesday morning the up- train from Charleston, over the South Carolina Railway, was delayed two hours by the derailing of a flat car loaded with stone at one of the sta tions on the line. Smashup on the S. C. Railway. A serious smashup occurred at Summerville yesterday morning. It seems that the Summerville accom modation train, empty, and a freight train were on a side track, but the switch had been very carelessly left open, when the through train, coming along ran on to the side track, and telescoped the two trains thereon. Three engines, thirteen box cars and three passenger cars were smash ed all to pieces. The engines are completely ruined and the freight cars are torn into splinters. Engineer Haight was the only per son hurt and he was only slightly injured. LADIES Needing a tonic, or children that want building up, should take BROWN’S IRON BITTERS.

The Home Fascinator, a magazine published in MojtHrehl, advertised ex tensively a word contest, offering prizes ranging from $1,000 down. The contest wan limited to subscri bers. Several persons in Aiken be came subscribe rs and entered the contest. Some time since they re ceived notices t lat they bad drawn prizes of silver tea sets, and asking remittances of $ 1.90 to cover the cost of packing and f reight.

It seems that he needed some brandy for his ill child, aud going to his store struck n match and walked up to the brandy barrel. He held the ignited sulphur under the barrel as he turned the flui d on, and the lighted match came in contact with the esca ping alcohol, w licit set tire to the place.
