A Ladies’ Fair at Aiken.
A fair was held Tuesday and yester
day at the Highland Park Hotel, Aiken,
S. C., for the benefit of the Episcopal
Church at that place. The ladies at
the hotel, with those of the congrega
tion of the church, met with success in
their management of the Fair, a large
amount being received. The contest
to determine the most popular gentle
man in the hall netted $32 Tuesday
night. The fair was to close yesterday.
Free Lance Items.

The police are having a quiet time.
Nothing of importance occurred in
court circles yesterday.
A list of wild lauds in various parts
of the State, on which the taxes are
paid, is posted in the Ordinary’s office.
The cotton market yesterday was
quiet, with a moderate demand; mid
dling, 15%. The receipts were 173, and
sales, 215 bales.
The weather yesterday was cool and
cloudy, with indications of rain.
A dead cow has been laying for three
days in the open space in the alley in
rear of Messrs. C. A. Williams & Co.’s
store, half way to Reynolds street.
Mr. E. H. Pughe has sent us a com
bined pencil protector and eraser, a
unique contrivance.
There is a patient at the City Hospi
tal who is a remarkably learned man.
He is a native of Belgium, named Fe
lix L. Herman, who first came over with
the ex-Emperor Maximilian as inter
preter. He is a fine scholar, perfectly
familiar with a number of languages
and well educated. He fell from a house
in Oxford, Ga., which he was painting,
and injured one of his knees, which
caused him to be sent here for treat
ment.
The citizens of Augusta will all ap
prove of the action of the Finance
Committee of Council, in appropriat
ing $2,500 for the relief of the sufferers
by the late tornado, while many think
it might have been larger.
The Atlanta Herald has interviewed
Hon. L, Q. C. Lamar, who has been
stopping at the Kimball House. Acg
cording to the Herald reporter, Col.
Lamar is almost, if not quite, the equal
of Col. Tom Howard as a conversa
tionist. Col. Lamar thinks there is an
overwhelming anti-administration ma
jority in this country, but the trouble
is to concentrate different elements
into one party and on one man. Col.
Lamar also thinks that the victory
must be won in 1876 by co-operation
and not by conversion. It is also his
opinion that the Democrats can elect
to the Presidency Chas. Francis Adams,
Judge Davis, or, possibly, Thurraan or
Hendricks. The Colonel likewise re
gards Grant’s re-nomination as certain.
The distinguished Congressman, when
asked, in Boston, by Col. Sam Bowles,
of the Springfield Republican, what
was the nature of the speech he came
near delivering on John Brown’s case,
but didn’t, replied :
“ You will remember that once upon
a time a friend met Mr. Thackeray,
and says to him, * Mr. Thackeray, the
book of Vanity Fair closes, leaving
Becky Sharpe half hidden behind a
door,* with a long keen knife gleaming
in her hands, and her eyes aflame with
jealousy and passion, bent upon a man
sitting "with his back turned to her,
writing at a desk. Now, I want to
know, what did Becky Sharpe do ?’ ‘ My
dear fellow,’ says Thackeray, tapping
him on the shoulder, ‘ that is exactly
what I have always wanted to know
myself.’ ”
Our recollection of “Vanity Fair” is
that Mr. Thackeray closes with Becky
Sharpe, as meek as a lamb, presiding
at one of the tables of a Charity Fair.
The great novelist well knew what he
intended. He meant that evil is not
always punished in this world, and
that Becky Sharpe had exchanged
most successfully the role of Clytem
nestra for that of a consummate hypo
crite in pious circles.
Chickens.
Mr. Richard T. Purcell, opposite the
Lower Market, has just received 500
chickens which he offers for sale at the
most reasonable rate.

Survivors’ Association.
Quite a large number of the surviv
ors of Hampton’s Cavalry and other
cavalry of the Confederate army, met
at the office of Messrs. J. M, Clark &
Cos., last night, for the purpose of form
ing an organization for mutual benefit
and adopting resolutions regarding the
death of Sergt. John Jenkins.
Tho meeting was called to order by
Capt. Wm. B. Young, who stated that
this was an adjourned meeting.
On motion of Capt. F. E. Eve, the
resolutions, prepared by the committee
previously appointed, regarding the
death of Orderly Sergeant John Jen-,
kins, of Cos. A, Cobb’s Georgia Legion,
were read by Mr. Jas. F. Thompson, as
follows:
The undersigned committee appoint
ed at the preliminary meeting on Sun
day afternoon, 21st, respectfully sub
mit the following :
Whereas, It having pleased Al
mighty God to call from among us our
brother-in-arms, Sergeant John Jen
kins ; and while we bow in humble
submission to the will of the Great
Ruler, it becomes us to pay appropri
ate tribute to his memory; therefore
be it
Resolved, That by the death of Ser
geant John Jenkins—among the first
to respond to his country’s call in
1861—this community has lost a worthy
citizen and the church a devoted mem
ber.
Resolved, That we hereby tender to
the grieved and sorrow-stricken wife
and relatives our heartfelt condolence
iu their bereavement.
Resolved, that a copy of the above
preamble and resolutions be furnished
the family of the deceased, be entered
upon the minutes of this meeting, and
published in the city papers.
F. E Eve,
P. Gallaher,
J. F. Thompson,
J. A. Bryan,
Committee,
On motion, the resolutions were re
ceived and unanimously adopted.
Capt. F. E. Eve made the following
remarks :
Comrades : One of our brother sol
diers has just left us for “that bourne
from whence no traveler returns,” re
minding us, ah ! how forcibly, that as
life is of short duration, it is necessary
we should be prepared to pay those
last sad rites due any one of us, no
matter how lowly a position he may
have held in our grand old cavalry
corps. I, therefore, arise for the pur
pose of proposing an organization of
all the survivors of the cavalry of the
Confederates in the vicinity of the city
of Augusta; said organization to be
formed and its headquarters to be in
Augusta, for the purpose of burying
our dead. I say our dead, for collec
tively the honors were gained, and it
behooves us to bury them with all
the ceremonies pertaining to military
burial, as far as we can, to show to
their families and the world that the
old love for our country and comrades
is not dead, but sieepeth. Veterans of
the late war! with what fond reminis
cences of the past can we greet each
other, even though it be for a few mo
ments at one of these sad meetings.
When I see those familiar faces,
smooth when first I knew them, now
bearded as a pard; the black locks
grizzled—how gladly can I grasp that
hand always responsive to my call, and
know we have been baptized in blood
and fire together, and naught save
death can seveo those ties. That
esprit du corps infused into us by
our gallant commanders and the
achievements of our corps; the wav
ing handkerchiefs of beautiful girls,
cheering us on to those bloody bat
tle fields of the past; our scanty
rations; the terrible hardships we
endured, and the high encomiums
lavished on our ohivalric deeds by
a not too generous foe, are to us to
be referred to, more pleasing than the
deeds of King Arthur and his Table
Round. We cannot hear a cavalry bu
gle but it sends a thrill tingling through
our veins responsive to the sound, and
like the war steed of old, seem to sniff
the battle from afar. Then let us pre
serve this old spirit. But few of us are
left; others must soon follow. Old
comrades ! we have turned the corner ;
the best days of our life were passed
in defense of our constitutional rights.
Therefore let us band ourselves to
gether and pay those last sad rites to
our comrades as they go.
Capt. F. E. Eve offered the following
as the basis of organization :
Resolved, Ist, That we organize our
selves into a society, to be known as
“The Survivors of the Cavalry of the
Confederate States,” for the purpose of
burying our dead and preserving our
record.
2d. That this Society shall consist of
a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Sec
retary, a Treasurer, a Doorkeeper and
four Stewards, who shall be elected an
nually.
3d. That the initiation fee shall be
sl, and the quarterly dues 50 cents.
4th. That a committee of three be
appointed by the President to draft a
constitution and by-laws.
sth. That this Society shall meet
quarterly, and is subject to be called
out at the death of a member by any of
its officers.
On motion of Lieut. John W. Clark,
the resolutions wptv considered sepa
rately and auupieu.
Lieut. Clark moved that the meet
,B° ‘into an election for officers.
Adopted.
The following gentlemen were then
elected by acclamation:
President, Capt. W. B. Young; Ist
Capt. F. E. Eve; 2d
Vice-President,’ Capt. G. W. Conway;
Secretary, Jas. F. Thompson; Treas
urer, Lieut. N. K. Butler, Jr., Door
keeper, Henry Kennedy; Stewards, S.
H. Sibley, Newt Heggie, G. L. Mac
murphy, W. A. Tanner.
The Chairman appointed the follow
ing committee to draft a constitution
and by-laws: J. A. Bryan, J. C. C.
Black and P. Gallaher.
On motion, Mr. J. J. Gregg was added
to the committee and Capt. W. B.
Young was made Chairman of it.
On motion of Mr. Henry Kennedy,
the names of those present were en
rolled as members of the Association.
The Chairman stated that Capt. Con
way had offered the free use of a hall
near his house for the balance of the
year for the purpose of holding the
meetings of the Association. The hall
is located just below Capt. Conway’s
stables, upper Broad street.
On motion, the offer was accepted
and the hearty thanks of the meeting
tendered to Capt. Conway.
The Secretary then read the names
of those enrolled, numbering 34, as
follows :
W. B. Young, F. E. Eve, G. W. Con
way, J. F. Thompson, N. K. Butler,
Henry Kennedy, S. H. Sibley, Newt
Heggie, G. L. Macmurphy, W A. Tan

C. Wood, E. J. O’Connor, F. L. Cooper,
G. W. Hardwick, J. L. Maxwell, Josiah
Miller, J. J. Lee.
The Chairman requested those pres
ent to call the attention of all cavalry
survivors they might know in the city
to the fact of tho association being or
ganized, and ask them if they desire to
become members.
On motion of Mr. J. A. Bryan, thanks
were returned to Messrs. J. M. Clark &
Cos., for the use of their office, after
which the meeting, on motion, ad
journed to Wednesday, April 7th.

The Confederate Monument.
Mr. Editor— lt may be already too
late to make an objection as to the site
of the proposed monument, for it is
said that the committee have already
decided. But, if a suggestion may
still be entertained, the writer of this
paragraph would respectfully ask the
committee to consider the serious ob
struction to the business of one of the
most important streets in the city,, if
the intersection of Broad and Mcln
tosh streets be selected for the monu
ment. Mclntosh street is one of
our most busy thoroughfares, as will
be conceded by any one who
has observed the lines of drays that
have daily traversed its length during
the season now drawing to its close.
Although no preference is urged for
any of the proposed locations, it is
hoped that the committee will appre
ciate the objections which were offered
by ‘‘Mclntosh” in the Constitutionalist
of Tuesday. In the above remarks no
want of confidence is felt in the com
mittee, for they have a difficult duty,
which they can scarcely be expected to
perform in a manner that will be satis
factory to all; but it is believed that any
views respectfully submitted will be
accorded such weight as they may de
serve. Monument.

The Best Protection.— The best
safeguards against epidemic disease
are thorough digestion and film nerves.
It is because they assure the regular
performance of the digestive process,
and invigorate the nervous system,
that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are
such a sovereign protective against
the influences which beget intermit
tent maladies, and those which direct
ly affect the stomach and bowels. If
the nerves are healthfully tranquil, the
assimilation of food perfect, as they
are sure to be under the influence of
this standard tonic and nervine, mala
ria may be defied, and if, in the ab
sence of the most reliable of medical
safeguards, the system has fallen a
prey to disease of an intermittent or
remittent type, the Bitters will, if per
sisted iu, eradicate every vestige of
the malady. Biliousness, constipation
and dyspepsia yield with equal cer
tainty to the operation of t his potent
vegetable alterative.

der is a perfect powder, and as such is
very light, and that those powders
which weigh heavy are made so by
ponderous adulterants. As baking
powders are used by measure, tea
tpoonfuls, and not by weight, the
heavier ones being less effective are
more expensive.
Dr. Price’s cans are the same size,
hold the same number of teaspoonfuls
as others, and as two teaspoonfuls are
only needed when three of the others
are required, it will be perceived that
there is in its use an actual saving of
oee-third ; that two cans of Dr. Price’s
go as far as three caus of the common
kinds. Dr. Price’s Powder is not sold
in bulk, it can only be found pure when
bought in cans securely labelled.

An Italian chemist has invented a
process for the chemical decomposition
of humanity that is not disagreeable
and leaves no residuum. It will be
urged as better than cremation. But
people had better be careful. Those
Italians are great fellows for making
soap and candles.

THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal. If not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils;
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
