Little Miss Annie Pbrter, daughter of the late James Gray Porter, Esq., has come on from Tennessee and Is staying with Mrs. Gammell. There will be a meeting at Dr. Wy man’s office to night at 8 p. m.. to or- S nize a Y. M. C. A. base bail club. let every player in the association attend. Mr. Janies H. Thorpe has opened up his new store, on the east side of Laureus Street, which he has filled with a large and well selected stock of groceries. Mrs. O. 8. Hammond, of Worces ter, Mass., died on the 10th instant, of heart failure, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alvin Etheridge, in Graniteyille. The South Carolina Presbjtery will convene in the Aiken Presbyte rian Church on Tuesday evening, 12th of April, and continue in session about three days. Mr. Jas. R. Moseley, a well known citizen of this county, died at his home near Windsor on last Sunday night. His health has been bad for some length or time. Is it not possible for the daily news papers to give their readers some in teresting reading matter? The pub lic is about surfeited with the tiresome Cleveland-Hill politics. The many friends of Mr. Peter Brenner, of Augusta, will be pained to bear that he is seriously ill at his home in that cit^. His brother who resides in Atlanta came down on Wednesday to be at his bedside. Secretary of State Tindal has issued a charter to the Aiken County Hedge Fence Company. The capital stock of the company is fl6,000. The cor porators named are J. T. Gaston and I. C. George. We were glad to see Mr. Arthur Weathersbee out once more. He is almost like one risen from the dead. From the gravity of his gun-shot wounds it was not thought possible that he could survive. We are glau to know that he is now doing well. The Pickens Sentinel thinks the six votes cast by John Jocko, the monkey, in 1876, caps the climax. If It can get access to the poll register of Abbeville County for that year it will see the name of Monroe , i pointer dog, recorded as having cast ten votes for Hampton. The shoe store of Mr. W. G. Ker- nsghan,of 551 was ciosed by the sheriff last Mon day under foreclosure of mortgages. On Saturday he gave thirteen mort gages to the amount of $3,357.50. Mr. Keniaghan went to Augusta from Johnstou last full, and opened a boot and shoe store. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Young Men’s Christian Association will give a rainbow tea next Thursday evening, the 24th, for the benefit of the asso ciation, at the rooms on Laurens Street. Admission will be free; re freshments will be served from 5 to 10 o’clock. The proceeds will be de voted to furnishing the rooms We are glad to know that the boys who have been shooting about the town have received some little atten tion at the hands of the town author ities. With their little rifles they have of late been very annoying to the citizens and visitors, have smash ed window glasses, and bidden fair to exterminate the birds. All caught shooting in the streets should be sternly dealt with. Even the Thieves Know Where the GoihI Things Are, It is true we have been advertising extensively, and inviting every one, regardless of race, color or previous condition to come to see us, but we desire now to say that from this time on we would be pleased to have those who wish to visit our immense Cloth ing, 8boe and Hat departments, to come while we are in, and not in the small hours of the night while we are all at home taking our rest. We have been endeavoring to tempt the people to cc-me with all the nice and pretty goods that could be had from the best makers in America, but we did not intend to go quite so far as t<* make it so enticing as to cause them to break through and steal. There is no telling the effect Bradwell’s great display of fine goods is having on the public, and it is a fact that locks must be made stronger or the attrac tions must be decreased. We shall take the former course—put on double locks—and increase all tbeattractions, novelties, &o., so come along all you who wisli to pay for what you get, don’t think for a mo ment that because they break through we will be intimidated or prevented from still showing tbe finest stock of clothing, shoes and hats that was ev er brought to this market. L. Bradwell. County Convention Call. To the Democratic Party of Aiken County. Pursuant to the order of the Execu tive Committee of the County of Ai ken and in accordance with the re quest of the 8tate Executive Com mittee of the Democratic party a con vention of the Democratic party of Aiken County, is hereby called to convene in the court house, in the city of Aiken, on the 2nd day of May next, 1892, for the purpose of re-or ganizing the party, to elect a County- Executive Committee—to elect dele gates to the .State Corven ion, w inch meets in Columbia on tiie third Wednesday in May next, and to transact such other business as may be proper under the constitution. Representation of the lespective sub ordinate clubs in said convention shall be as follows: One delegate for every twenty-fiye ^embers, and one delegate tor a uia- [ty fraction thereof. No club ted or organized after the 13th ^August, A. D., 1890, will be John T. Gaston. in Democratic Party, A. 1892. A Public Library. The performance in tbe dining room of'the Highland Park Hotel on 'next Tuesday evening will be given to aid the fund for tbe establishment of a public library in Aiken. No tickets will be sold, but all persons are invited and subscriptions are so licited and may be sent to Captain Oscar Coles. There is now a small fund on de posit in bank here that was raised some time ago for this purpose, through the instrumentality of a pub lic spirited lady; and the amount ob taiued at the performance next Tues day will be added to ibis, and will we trust make enough to give the enter prise a good start. It is scarcely necessary to say any thing as to the need of a public libra ry in Aiken. Tbat is self-evident. Ti e difficulty heretofore has been as to tbe machinery for managing it. This has now been solved through the agency of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association here. This associa tion has already a suite of four excel lent rooms, together with a long hall, all comfortably furnished and very conveniently located. It is suggested that one of tuese rooms, or a part of one, be approprated to tbe library, and we are authorized to say that the assaciatiou would be glau to take charge of it, and would immediately put in suitable book-cases, which would be kept locked and under the charge of the young man who is now regularly employed in these rooms to take care of them and attend upon Visitors. This arrangement solves the prob lems of accommodation and attend ance, and now the point is to raise enough money to buy such books as should be iu a library of this char acter. Death of Mrs. C. 31. Croft. From The Greenville News. Mrs. C. M. Croft, widow of the late Randall Croft, of Aiken, died at the residence of Eugene Stone, iu Ruth erford street, Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

McBee, Jr., Wilson Gloves, Isaac M. Bryan. There were six honorary pall bearers. The inter ment was iu Christ church cemetery. Decrease in S. C. Railway Earnings. The railroad commission lias re ceived the delayed report ol the South Carolina Railway earnings for the month of January. As compared with the earnings of the road for the same month of the year previous the decrease is very great and shows what adverse circumstances all the roads had to contend with this year. The comparative figures are: 1891, $177,746 70; 1892, $114,590.10; decrease $63,156 60, or 35.53 per cent. None of the roads has made a worse showing than this for the month. One or two roads are yet to send in their reports, and then the total earnings will be announced. . liov- lirancli <>t the Y. M. C. A.

Burckhal- ter, vice-president; and Steadman Weathersbee. secretary. It comprises boys between the ages of ten and six teen years, and the Rev. J. H.

Rautiu, keeper of cemetery; with a board of directors. The cemetery’ is to be enlarged and improved, and the sections put in thorough order.
