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

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,

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.

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.

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.

The Home Fasiclnator Fraud.
The Home Fascinator, a magazine
published in MojtHrehl, advertised ex

prizes ranging from $1,000 down.
The contest wan limited to subscri

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. An exchange

GOOD LOOKS.
Good looks are more than skin deep,
depending upon a healthy condition
of all the vital organs. If the liver
be inactive, you have a bilious look;
if your stomach be disordered, you
have a dyspeptic look; and if your
kidneys be affected, you have a pinch
ed look. Secure good health and you
will have good looks. Electric Bit
ters is the great alterative and tonic;
acts directly on these vital organs;
cures pimples, blotches, boils, and
gives a good complexion. Sold at VV
J Platt’s drug store, 50c per bottle.
