one’which serves to convey the idea wo
are desirous of inculcating. Aiken,
with the love); climate that nature has
blessed us with, is tike a fu-M, and its

maimer in which it is cultivated, and ag

are about Jo suggest
'J hanks to the energy of a few of our
fellow-townsmen, to whptn all honor is
dpe, Aiken emerged a lew yeuis ago
from its lartner insignificant position as
a small country town and became a pop
ular resort. Kvcry available room was
soon occupud, atjd despite the, at that
Jimo, wretched accommodations and
worse fare, its reputation extended, and
yvjth the occasional and judicious use of
printers’ink. the number of visitors
every year increased. This continued
until the gcagiqi of 187G-’77i at which
time there was a notable falling ofiF.—
This was attributed by many to political
disturbances and bard times, and these
undoubtedly had their effect j but there
This is a question of vital importance : were besides these other cayses at work

but of one thing we pro certain, and list of visitors remained comparatively
_ .i- I - . .
that is that the prosperity of our com
munity depends in a groat menppre upon
the npmber of people who visit us, ei
ther in search of health or to avoid the
rigor of a Northern winter. Fortunately
for us the solutiou of the question rests
pith ourselves. Nature has done every
thing for us, our reputatiou as far as
pltJ^te goes may be regarded as firmly
eetabltsV\ed, and if .we will only turn ^ur I
shoulder to Vhc wheel and labor to make
Aiken as attra^q^ve as it is slaubrious,
we need feel no trBs.injncp§ in regard to
the future. Our peopfit are only too
beliooyes ys to enquire. Up to w'ithtfj
a vgry recent period, Aiken was the only
bracing resort in the South of which
the Northern public, medical as well as
lay, knew anything; it enjoyed as it
we re a sort of climatic monopoly so that
notwithstanding the dull life here, our
| full. Since then numcious other places
with climates sii/.ilar to our own, Lave
sprung up all around us, in Florida,
G.corgia and North Carolina, and to-day
there arc at least a dozen places bidding
for the patronage Aiken has so long en
joyed. We, in tht mean while, instead
of increasing our efforts, have rcstgd on
regarded as firmly 1 our ..ars, and worse than this, we have
“ur j one by one lost the fruits of our former
efforts. The Board of Improvement
organized in 1870, and which did such
good work 5)111 ini; its brief existence,
failed from want of support, and the very

to have lost sight of the fact that, (
invalids arc aft^r all like other brtimn' (
creatures. Our season is a comparatively
long one, our visitors, even if they arc
qpt accustomed to the diversions of a
large city, arc, with few exceptions,
people who at home have led an energet
ic life, and in all such the want of dis
traction will entrender discontent, and
this materially interferes with the good
fffe-jta of the climate. Discorffentcd
people find it dificult to get well in any
primate, and to bring invalid? ft ere and
)iave them grow worse will in the long
run damage us more than to have them
*tay away altogcthop.
Then, too. we want not pnjy transient
yisitors, but also permanent sellers, and
this is the cjiysa from whiph the com
munity ns a whole derives the most di
rect benefit. It ip through them that
the demand for real estate is increased,
* ' *
and the money disbursed by them is
more directly distributed among mer
chants, mechanics, laborers and others.
The fact that so mjjch of our prosperity
depends upon those two classes is spself-
evidont, and the bem-fit derived from
Jlteir presence go apparept, tliat any at
tempt at further explanation ought to
be supetfluout ; and yet it is no ungsual
thing to bear one of our merchants rc-
piark that thy visitors do not help bis
justness, and that the hotel keepers,
doctors* &c., arc the only ones who de
rive any benefit from tho hundreds who
every year sojourn with us. We would
psk thise gentlemen if in their leasurc
niomept?, (and sqch men must have
many of these) they have ever pon
dered over what would be the consequence
pf a withdrawal of our transient popglp
jion upon their trade. Is it probable
jhat they would long survive the
poverty that wojilc) inevitably befall
the rest of the community, t)te decrease
in the value of real estate, the drnin sh-
incomes of tbc pvo)cssional men and
Jbe withdrawal of the thousands of doi-
Jars disbursed by washerwomen, waiters
and others, whose expenditures, though
insignificant when viewed indU’tdpHy,
foot up a large amount when taken as a
whole. All jins would be lost and with
it a largo proportion of tbc local trade.
It would occupy too uiuch of our space
to apply the s-iuie reasoning to ‘other
professions and occupations, and feel
that we have already said enough to
convince our readers that there js not a
man. worn in or child in Aiken or its
vicinity who docs not derive more or less
beaefit from tftg tide of visitors who
every year help to replenish our ex
hausted exchequer. Looking at the
subject from thi? very practical point of
yiew, we would ask those of our citizens
who have hitherto pursued the short
sighted policy of giving nothing, or
giving grudgingly, whether they arc
prepared to relinquish t his great source
pf wealth, for it must be apparent to
them as it is to every one else that mon
ey is requisite to make our place at
tractive, and that without some effort
on our part Aiken will mogt pcrtainly
dceliq ; in the estimatiop of the public.
To pro.’upe a gno<J crop the field must
b<*. fertilized, or in the course of time it
convenience of our invalid visitors wcr«
in many instances appropriated by our
owbsgitizeus and carried into their yards.

a long felt waut, ai.^x^gpi,* t ). c ev ;|

lowed to lauguisli and soon bccanWv^
thing of the past. Jhis institution, af
fording as it did a place of recreation
and rest for the stranger, wcl1 1)0
regarded as a necessity, and even now
we miss its bright, cozy rooms, in which
we luve enjoyed piany a pleasant chijt.
From time to time j-pasmodic ffforts have
botn made to get up theatricals end con
certs, but theSvS, too have been dropped.
Puring the whole of last season, if we
except tbp Schuc(zcnfcst and the little
plays given at the Highland Paak, not a
single attempt wa§ made to provide
amusement for our guesf.
Utilising the importanpc of prompt
action, wc last spring called tho attention
of our people to the pressipg necessity of
doing something to retrieve our lost
ground. Wo are now happy in being
able to state that our words met with a
more ready response than we hnd dared
hope for. With few exceptions (and
there is in every community a class who
are willing to reap where they have not
sown) our citizens responded to the call,
and tfl-day from five to stx thousand
pamphlets are proclaiming to physicians,
clergymen and invalids the advantages
of our climate, and there is now net a
town «r city ij; tho entire fif'Tth and
West to which two or more of them 1 are

places receiving as many as several hun
dred. Already arc itseff cts made evi
dent by an unusually largo number ol
early arrivals, and by tho hundreds of
letters of inquiry which reach our citi
zens from all parts of our great country.
We cojigratuJatQ the gentlemen who
have done this work upon the success
that h.is crowned their efforts, and ten
der them in behalf of our community
our most sincere thanks. 1 hat Aiken
—thanks to them—will be fall during
the present season, there is now* but lit

have only partially accomplished our
work. Vr T c must not rely cntirply upon
the good air and synsdunc which Nature
in her bounty has bestowed upon us, but
wc must supplement these by making our
visitors happy and contented. To ac
complish this the grnornl appearance of
tho town must bo made more attractive
and amusements must be provided to
vary tbc dull mopohmy of village life
Wo are aware that mis sug&cstion e

her what was tho value of property pre
vious to the influx of strangers, which
took place eight or nine years ago. M c
all know how rapid was the advance in
the value of fauns, town lots and other
woul 1 begrudge his store a coift of paint 1
or neghijct to advertise bis wares, because
the niongy thus expended has t# be de
ducted from Jjis annual ingoing. On the
contrary, I13 knows hir increased trade
will more than compensate hib) fog this
trifling pi)tiny.
And sp it will be with Aiken if peo
ple will evince a willingness to invest^
aepording to their means ii; some of the
projects for iipproyeuient we nosy recom
mend.
Fipst and forempej we would suggest
tl)c reorganisation of the IJ.jard of Im-
provenjont and cf our Committee on
A inurement*. To the consideration of
the former we would cpinuiend the much
needed improveunnt of Park avenue
am) the laying of a brick pavement on
the vest side of Laurens street. This
latter should be donp at the expense of
tbc merchants apd property holders ou
that side of the street, and wo can assure
them that this supill expenditure will be
more than made up by the purchases
nnvlo by parties who are frequently de
terred from visiting the stores by flic
abominable tenacious clay, which, even
alter a comparititrely light rain, makes
that thoroughfare, for ladies at least, all
but impassable. Having * completed I
these two important improvements, they
might then turn their attention to some
of the drives in the vicinity. To 0110
of these we are particularly desirous ofl
directing attention. Most of our visi-[
tors are delicate people, whose blopfl has
been thinned by disease, and who are
extremely sensitive to cold. For these
it is all .important to provide a drive
where they will to a great extent be pro.
tccte* 1 from the cold winds which some
times prevail in mid Laintcr, and this we
think ,cuuid be accomplished by laying
outa few roads through the beautiful
grove of pines back of Mr. John Wil
liams’ apd in front of Mr. Powell’s farm.
The expense of doing this and culling
away some oftbo undergrowth would be
insignificant. This and the improve
ment ol tho park donated to the town by
the railroad company would be wnrk
enough for one year.
To tho Committee on Amusements,
composed as it is of the most iutuiligont
gentlemen in our community, sugges
tions from ns would be superflous, 'J hey
have proven fty their former work that
they thoroughly understand their busi
ness, and if the people will only second
them in their 1 fforts, there need be no
(par that Aiken will suffer from a dearth
of entertainuiCLts. Wo must, neverthe
less, take tho liberty of calling their at
tention to a great defect in our other
wise very neat little theatre. Everyone
ho has ever attended any performance

tortainnn^.

dy for this that a couple of entertah
mentsbe given and the proceeds do p

ijCt us then, fellow-.CJtlsens, mat
throw aside all petty jealousies and
with a will to make our town an attj
live placp of residence, and thi>n,
our glorious climate, wo need barbt
uneasy feelings a§ to jho future of
