Fine I’eaclies.

from our friend, Mr. Thus. S, Wil
liams, of Moneta, a crate of fine
peaches, by all odds the best we have
seen this year. He writes that he has
already shipped to market about 1000
crates, which shows the great advan
tage the farmers on the Ridge have in
having a crop of peaches when the
crop elsewhere has been killed by the

Typographical Errors in Strange
Places.
All the editions of the Bible, with a
few noted exceptions have usually
been considered typographically per
fect. yet in an edition published in
Edinburgh in 1769, we find an error in
the word “spirit” in 8t. Luke, 4-18—
an s being substituted for the first i.
The London Times also boasts of its
strict typographical accuracy, yet in
the edition of July 3d errors may be
fo.ind on page 9 in the word “special”
in the third column, and in "niedita-
Hones” in the sixth column.
Judgement against theS. C. Hallway.

Yesterday Mr. Delevau Yates re
ported to the Coroner that some boys,
out hunting rabbits had come across a
dead body partially buried, iu a
thicket opposite the Turnbull house,
between Messrs. Yates’ and Sommer’s
place. A jury of inquest w r as sum
moned at once, and went to the spot
to investigate. The body was found
to be that of a negro boy apparently
about 10 or 12 years of age, very much
decomposed, wearing only a striped
shirt, and pi*t into a jute sack. It
had been buried, but partially disin
terred by the dogs. None of the ne
groes iu the vicinity professed to
know anything about the case, but it
was learned that one of them had
a son of about 11 years of age whom
he was in the habit ef beating. I his
boy wore a f.triped shirt, and about
two months ago disappeared, and his
father said had runaway. The ques
tion now is whether this is the body
of that boy? The jury came into
town in the afternoon, and was as
sembled in the Town Hall taking evi
dence when we went to press, so we
are unable to give any further details
regarding the matter.
The editor of the Charleston “Daily
Sun’, Spent last Sunday in Aiken after
his return to the city, some of his friends
were remarking on his being so tanned,
one accounted for it, by visits to the Is
land, but another explaine it, entirely to
the satisfaction of them all, saying that
it was due to the fact that he worked on
“The Sun.”

We are glad to be able to announce
that definite steps have been taken to
establish a sanitarium or cottage hos
pital in Aiken, especially intended
for the aid of those invalids in indi
gent circumstances elsewhere, who
are in sore need of a climate like that
of Aiken, but are unable to enjoy it
on account of their poverty. The de
sign of the promoters of this charity
is to aid these persons, and also to
furnish to others, who are able to pay
full prices, all the comforts of nursing,
&c., that are to be had in a well con
ducted sanitarium. The cause being
one wholly of charity, devoid of all
selfishness has appealed to some of
the charitably disposed persons who
are acquainted with tl^ advantages of
Aiken, and appreciate the need of
sueh an institution here—in conse
quence a visitor has purchased the
vacant lot on the East $ide of Green
ville street, between
Edgefield Avenues, of
by 150 feet, and has ve

responsible for the ins
work. The conditions'of the gift be
ing that the property shall be used for
hospital purposes, and be undenomi
national in every respect; the object
and line of management of the insti
tution shall be distinctly, and solely
for the relief of suffering, and no one’s
creed shall be asked.
In addition to the lot^of land we are
glad to learn that $210 have been al
ready raised towards paying for the
building. Of course dullng the pres
ent summer months it i|.not expected
that much can he donelSut it is not
thought that there will I v e any diffi
culty in raising the n^easary funds
next winter, as this is 'a cause that
appeals to all charitablej persons.

The afternoon was beautiful, and the
scene at the wharf rerplnded us of

and after the boat had Ijeft the wharf
we could see the 'handkerchiefs
waving from the end of the dock till

STRENGTH AND HEALTH
If you are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If “La
Grippe” has left you weak and weary,
use Electric Bitters. This remedy
acts directly on liver, stomach and
kidneys, gently aiding those organs to
perform their functions. If you are
afflicted with sick headache, you will
find speedy and permanent relief by
taking Electric Bitters. One trial
will convince you that this is the
remedy you need. Large bottles only

A LITTLE GIRL’S EXPERIENCE IN A
LIGHTHOUSE.
Mr and Mrs Loren Trescott are
keepers of the Gov Lighthouse at
Sand Beach, Mich, and are blessed
with a daughter, four years old. Last
April she was taken down with mea
sles, followed with a dreadful cough
and turning into a fever. Doctors at
home and at Detroit treated her, but
in vain; she grew worse rapidly, un
til she was a mere “handful of bones.”
Then she tried Dr. King’s New Dis
covery, and after the use of two and
a half bottles, was completely cured.
They say Dr King’s New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you may

Judgment has been given in the
Loudon Court in the action brought
in the interest of Mrs. Maybrick
against a life insurance association to
recov’er $10,000 insurance upon her
husband’s life. The court decided
that as Mrs. Maybrick had murdered
her husband she could not recover
the amount for which his life was
insured. It is now said on good au
thority that Mrs. Maybrick will de
mand a new trial in the civil courts on
the ground that the insurance com
pany iu which her husband’s life
was insured must produce proof that
she murdered him; as according to
English law conviction is not proof
between other parties, but only be
tween the prosecution and the prison
er. The trial is expected to occur in
November. It was for this same new
trial that Judge Richard H. Clarke of
Atlanta, Ga., has been working, as it
is expected that new evidence will be
presented, that may change the re
sult.
The Rev. Sam Small, the evange-.
list, has decided to return to journal
ism. He came to Atlanta recently
where he was cordially received bv
his old friends, who pressed him to
resume his citizenship here. A fund
was at once raised for the establish
ment of a daily afternoon paper, to
be known as the Atlanta Herald, of
which Small has accepted the man
aging editorship.
The Hon. G. D. Tillman has been
invited to deliver an address on the
occasion of the pic-uic to be held at
St. Matthew’s, Orangeburg County,
on the 31st instant, iu the interest of
the new county of Calhoun. The sub
ject of his rpmarks will be: “The
Importance of Smaller Subdivisions
of the State.”
A FAMOUS REMEDY.
The man who invented pills, especial
ly those of the sugar-coated sort, de
serves the gratitude of mankind; for,
if we must swallow physic at all, the
smaller and more agreeable the dose is
made the better. But, we presume, the
first ingenious pill-roller must continue
to remain in obscurity among the great
