SATURDAY, August 21, 1875,
CURRENT TOPICS.
Mrs. Hackenberry, of Alabama, went
out quite early the other morning and
found Mr. Hackenberry hanging from
the limb of a tree. The neighbors would
feel rather foolish if it should turn out that
somebody else got the hogs after all.
In New Orleans there is a locality known
as the corner of Music and Goodchildren
streets. The children all went to heaven in
their first year, and the music is supposed
to refer to an exasperating auction bell
which the authorities are too pusillanimous
to silence.
The Boston News says it is understood at
the White Mountains that Beecher hts
simply hired himself out to the proprietors
of the Twin Mountain House for the pur
pose of drawing trade. Hotels laboring
under a depression of business should take
the hint. Beecher will come provided he
is dead-headed.
The Cuban iutendeut, Gutierrez de la
Vega, has sloped for Spain with $600,000 in
gold, which he abstracted from the Treas
ury over which he presided. V almas eda
escorted him to the steamer in a friendly
manner, and it is the impression that the
Captain General will not tell on him. Vega
might tell on Valmaseda.
The Brooklyn Argus says the Plymouth
pastor “finds rest for his body and manna
for his soul lying on the grass at the Twin
Mountain House while the ladies are play
ing croquet.’’ It is not quite equal to “I
saw Elizabeth lying there looking like
marble statues I have seen in Europe,” but
it’s a recess with him, you know.
Two prominent Philadelphia lawyers,
named, respectively, Mealy and Hagger
ty, had a quarrel last week and a challenge
was given to light with pistols at thirty
paces and accepted. Mealy, however, got
frightened and found it convenient to go off
to a seaside resort for his health, and Hag
gerty went to the sad sea waves in another
direction the next day. The seconds want
to know where the p: incipals are.
The first two babies born in Garrett City,
Ind., have been named Indiana Garrett
Quigley and Quincy Garrett Reinoehl,
and there has been a torchlight possession
and a dance. The place is named after
Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Kail
road, and the babies have each been pre
sented with a silver cup and their mothers
with silver spoons. Great is Garrett, and
numerous are the fools of this world.
Some of the people in Tennessee hadn’t
time to go to the Knoxville hanging, and
they necessarily had to depend on the
newspapers for the points. The Press and
Herald says: “A stranger visiting Market
square yesterday morning could not but
have been impressed with the idea that ours
is a reading people. Every huckst rin the
market, as well as the country people in
their wagons, could be seen intently por
ing over the pages of the morning papers,
totally oblivious to the importunities of
customers, and not caring a cuss for the
price of truck.
The Hartford Post prints some very en
tertaining reading matter occasional Iy. A
recent number has .his: “The heart of
Wilson, who was hanged a few years since
for the murder of Warden Willard, is in
the possession of Dr. George B. Hawley.
It is preserved in alcohol, and the wire
which Wit son thrust into it when he at
tempted suicide is stii: there. The wire en
tered the apex of the h eart and pierced up
ward through the left ventricle. Its color
is a yellowish white, the natural red hue
having been bleached out by the spirits in
which it is preserved. It has not shrunk
away to any perceptible extent, and weighs
as much as when taken from Wilson’s
body.” •
Miss Augusta J. Evans.
It is gratifying to us, indeed, to note the
fact that this reaownod Southern lady is
rapidly stepping to the highest pinnacle of
fame. We look with the greatest anxiety
for the appearance of her book now in
press, having read every thing she has writ
ten for the public with the greatest inter
est. Says the Columbus Times: “The
friends of Mrs. Wilson, nee Miss Augusta
J. Evans, will be pleased to learn that she
is attracting considerable attention in New
York, where she is t ie guest of Commo
doie Vanderbilt. It is stated that the
Car. .eton brothers have offered her fifty
thousand dollars for her ‘lnfelice.’ This is
au unusually high price, and speaks well
for the merit of a work upon which she
has labored so hard for the past two or
three years.”
Persons with weak eyes must not stop off
at Rio Janeiro if they happen not to have
their goggles with them. A letter in the
New York Post says: “The light in Rio is
like the heat. It does not appear to come
from the sun, which often you do not see,
but from everywhere. It is all-pervading,
subdued, but diffused, and it makes every
thing beautiful. When the weather is very
fine, the clouds are simply rolled up into
round, fleecy masses of an intense bril
liancy and a perfect w hiteness, and these
in turn pour down a flood of mild, mys
terious light which yet the eye is hardly
able to bear. Sometimes, when one of
these illuminated clouds hangs over a nar
row street, blotting out the shadows and
blurring the outlines with its strange white
glare, I feel like the creatures in the live
box of a microscope, subjected to the ac
tion of a powerful condenser. In fact, I
suppose that is just what these illuminated
clouds are.”______ i ____ i<ii> ___
The Toothache. —A gentleman says,
after suffering excruciating pain from
this ache, and having tried in vain to
obtain relief, Betty told me a gentle
man had been waiting some time in the
parlor, who said he would not detain
me one minute. He came —a friend I
had not seen for years. He sympa
thized with me, while I briefly told how
sadly I was afflicted
“My dear friend,” exclaimed he, “I
can cure you in ten minutes.”
“How? how?” inquired I; “do it, in
pity ”
“Instantly,” said he. “Betty, have
you auy alum ?”
“Yes.” •
*,Bring it, and some common salt.
They were produced; my friend pul
verized them, mixed in equal quantities;
then wet a small piece of cotton, caus
ing the mixed powder to adhere, and
placed it in my hollow tooth.
“There,” said he, “if that does not
cure you I will forfeit my head. You
may tell this in Gath and publish it iu
Askelon; the remedy is infallible.”
It was so. I experienced a sensation
of coldness on applying it, which gradu
ally subsides and w ith it the torment of
the tootnache.
Pennyroyal and Potash. —If mos
quitoes or other blood-suckers infest
our sleeping rooms at night, we uncork
a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and
these animals leave in great haste, nor
will they return so loDg as the air in
the room is loaded with the fumes of
that aromatic hert . If rats enter the
cellar a little powdered potash, thrown
iu their holes or mixed with meal and
scattered in their runways, never fails
to drive them away. Cayenne pepper
will keep the buttery and storeroom
free from ants and cockroaches. If a
mouse makes an entrance into any
part of your dwelling, saturate a rag
with Cayenne, in splution, and stuff it
into the hole, which can then be re
paired with either wood or mortar. No
rat or mouse will eat that rag for the
purpose of opeting communications
with a depot of supplies.—| Scientific

Covington Enterprise: It is the duty
of the next Legislature to make ar

Brunswick (Aug. 17) special to the
Savannah News: During a thunder

8. J. W. Ham : When Dr. Shaver first
commenced to edit the Rockdale Reg
ister, the roller was so sorry the old

his salutatory standing through three

Columbus Enquirer: People would
like to see the North and South Rail
road carried somewhere, but Columbus
will never put a dollar into it, from
want of ability. She has now experi
enced some of its benefits and at a cost
of $200,000, and a road only twenty
miles long.
Covington Enterprise : The column in
the Sunny South, headed “Answers to
Correspondents,” is about the sickliest
stuff it has ever been our misfortune to
peruse. Advising soft-headed youths
of both sexes how to conduct a court
ship is equal to giving a dose of ipecac
to a poor devil suffering with the colic.
Two Warrenton (Ga.) girls are work
ing out the problem of women’s rights
in anew way. They, with their own
hands, plant, cultivate and gather a
cotton crop of six or seven bales each
year, which, together with their grain
crop and stock, feed and clothe them
handsomely and leave them a cash sur
plus of S2OO or S3OO.
Warrenton Clipper: Mr. H. Martin
died at his residence in this place on
last Friday morning at half past one
o’clock. He had been confined to his
bed for some time with that fatal dis
ease, consumption, which at last tri
umphed over the skill of his physi
cians, and he passed away. He was
buried on Sunday morning at 8 o’clock,
near the residence of Mrs. Sally Hill.
Columbus Times: Everybody has
heard of the Desert of Sahara, but very
few have ever seen anything from that
region. Yesterday we were shown a
chicken of extraordinary breed, that
was shipped from there to Mr. H. K.
Lamb, of Radcliff & Lamb celebrity, by
a cousin who is now living in that vi
cinity. The chicken looks like a com
mon* dung-hill pullet, but then it is flue
because it came so far. The mate to
the one arrived, died on the voyage.
This is quite a curiosity for Columbus.
We learn he will send it to his farm in
Alabama.
The Columbus Enquirer tells a story
of two young mechanics of that city
who quarreled and agreed to cross the
river and fight it ou,t. Upon reaching
the Alabama shore, Miller drew his
pistol and fired five times at Bowen. —
It was Bowen’s understanding they
were to fight fist and skuil. He was,
wounded v in the finger, arm and groin,
but notwithstanding he seized Miller
and gave him a terrible thrashing,
breaking his own pistol over his head
and making him beg for mercy. Bowen
only stopped when the loss of blood
made him too weak to strike. Two
negroes came up aud carried him bhek
to the citj r . His wounds are serious.
Warrenton Clipper: We have now
to record a very singular incident
which took place at Raytown, in this
county, a few days since. Rev. Nathan
Davidson, while preaching, hdd occa
sion to allude to the miracle of Jesus
having restored a blind man to sight
by putting clay upon his eyes, and re
marked that this was ‘-'very foolish in
Christ,” when he was suddenly stricken
with paralysis of the tongue, and re
mained speechless, utterly unable to
articulate for several hours. Since re
covering his speech, he says that he in
tended to say that it was “very foolish
in Christ, viewed from a worldly point
of view,” and then intended to show
why it was necessary. It certainiy is
quite remarkable, and the coincidence
is very singular, but the truth of the
story can be vouched for, and may be
relied on. [Very like a whale !
Macon Telegraph: Mrs. Charlotte E.,
wife of Mr. B. A. Salter, of Jefferson
county, and eldest daughter of Mr. B.
A. Adams, of this city, died yesterday
at the residence of her father. The de

the most popular young ladies in Ma

last with every prospect of a reason
ably long life, and as much of happi
ness as mortals are permitted to enjoy.
But soon after her marriage she be
came afflicted, and has since been a
constant sufferer. She endured all
without a murmur, and when she knew
that the supreme hour was approach
ing when she must bid a final farewell
to earth, aud friends, and her beloved
ones, a look into the future had no ter
rors for her, for she was “ sustained
and soothed by an unfaltering trust,”
and her departure was as if she had
lain down to pleasant slumber. She
spoke freely of her willingness to an
swer the dreadful summons, and told
her husband that her only regret was
in leaving him. She leaves a babe only
four days old.

LETTER FROM COKESBURY.
A Visit to Columbia—Hodges—Crops —
Phenomena of 1875—Columbia—Par
ker—Small Farms—Politics, Ink
lings, Ac., Ac.
[Regular Correspondence Constitutional
ist.]
Cokesbubt, S. C., Aug. 18, 1875.
A few days ago business called me to
Columbia, S. C., ami I propose In this
letter to give your readers the result
of my trip. I took the train at Hodges,
on the G. and C. R. R., Tuesday morn
ing. Hodges is going to be quite an
important town, and her merchants
seem to be busy and energetic. Messrs.
Vance, Mosely & 00. are building two
large brick stores that will add very
much to the business aspect of the
place. Messrs. McGhee & Townsend
will soon begin the erection of their
fine block of buildings in the centre of
the town. Mr. J. P. Jones is maturing
plans for a tine store on the same row.
Mr. J. J. Nix, the worthy and efficient
postmaster, is also erecting a fine
store. These improvements will give
the town a city appearance. Mr. Nix,
some years ago, had the misfortune to
have his spinal column injured on the
railroad, since which time he has been
paralyzed in his lower limbs. Not
withstanding these injuries he has
managed to make money.
What a lesson for some of our nice
young men who spend their time in
idleness and looking around corners.
After I left Hodges, the effects of the
long dry spell of weather was very ap
parent, and I believe only a half crop
will be made along the line of rail
road. It is true that, lately, plenty of
rain has fallen, but too late to do much
good, except to late plantings. The
iainfall this year has been very capri
cious. While we in this State were
burning up the West was flooded—so
much so as to seriously endanger the
crops. Wiseacres have puzzled their
brains to make a satisfactory explana
tion of these phenomena. Some at
tribute the disturbance of the atmos
phere to the influence of the planets,
and especially Jupiter. No matter
what the explanation may be, the
phenomena of 1875 has been remark
able, especially in cyclones, floods and
earthquakes.
I am not so sure if Radical influence
has not been a factor. They, as a na
tion, have been guilty of some of the
worst sins of omission and commission;
aud as national sins can only be pun
ished in this world, these phenomena
may have been sent for their especial
benefit. I found Columbia dull, and
not much business being done. Co
lumbia is one of the most beautiful
cities in the South, and it is a pity that
the vile horde of Radical politicians
should make it their headquarters.
The city is oppressed by State and lo
cal taxation, and it is a wonder that an
honest man can make a living. The
Governor has just returned from his
Northern tour, aud we hope to see the
wheels of government run more
smoothly. Many surmise that his long
absence was due to the trial of Parker.
It is believed, if he had been present at
the trial, much light could have been
thrown upon the Parker case. Opinion
is divided upon the Parker case. Judge
Mackey has as good as turned him
loose upon a straw bail of $2,000. Ha
will never pay the $75,000 imposed by
the State, nor is he likely to be sent to
the penitentiary, although no one
doubts his guilt. The State has al
ready lost too much, and it was a pity
that he was recaptured, and the State
subjected to more expense in farcical
trials.
Preparations for the next Fair of
South Carolina I found in progress.
This body will meet the second week
in November next. In addition to the
regular premium list, S3OO is offered to
the county that makes the largest and
best exhibition of its products ; S2OO
for second best, and SIOO for third best.
Abbevi'le county will no doubt bag the
S3OO premium.
During my ride I was struck with
the amount of land not under cultiva
tion. This probably arises from the
fast that in ante helium days the aspi
rations of the farmer were a big plan
tation and plenty of negroes. Now it
would seem the part of wisdom to cut
up these large plantations into small
farms. No one will doubt that small
farms, well cultivated, are more profit
able, proportionally, than those of
larger extent. The amount realized in
Eurdpe from small farms ought to
stimulate us to follow their example.
'Laud often rents for ten times as much
as would purchase a like area here.
Politics.
Now that the crops are laid by, I find
the people, aud especially those hold
ing office, beginning to gather in squads
for the discussion of politics. There
are many who profess to see that we
are slowly throwing off the shackles of
the party of corrupted), fraud and
heavy taxation. The action of the
States of Texas, Arkansas, North Caro
lina and Georgia is no doubt encourag
ing. We hope to see Louisiana and
Mississippi*follow their example. The
contest is narrowing down to a straight
out contest between the Radicals and
Democrats. The news from the West
is cheering, and we intend to make a
strong effort to bring even South Caro
lina into lino.
The-long darkened horizon is clearing
up even here, and we have faith that a
better state of affairs will come. We
are tired of living uuder laws dictated
by military power and framed by alien
carpet-baggers, ignorant negroes and
scalawags.
Inklings.
Miss Belle is lecturingdti this
county.
A few days ago a negro woman near
this place gave birth to triplets. There
have been so many cases of this ( kind
lately recorded that I am afraid
matrimonial bonds will be depreciated
in consequence.
The good people of 96 have been
having a good time in holding a two
days’ Church Fair for the benefit of
the Baptist' Church. aggregate re
ceipts amounted to $250.
The census of Cokesbury Township
has just been completed. The total
population is 3,ooo—whites, 1,230 ;
colored, 1,870.
The no-fence law is being agitated in
consequence of the difficulty of getting
the laborers to keep the fences in re
pair, and as they are all stock holders,
the question of fencing is a vital one.
Any measures that will diminish the
expenses of the farm will be a boon to
the people, as the time and money
could very profitably be employed
otherwise upon the farm. The experi
ment is being tried in Anderson county.
A little son of Wm. Lomax had his
head terribly mutilated by the dis
charge of his shot-gun prematurely,
while out hunting.
Bethel Camp Meeting has just closed
its annual meeting. As usual the
crowd was large, earnest and attentive.
We rather like tbe social features of
camp meeting, and the attendant has
his physical as well as spiritual condi
tion built up. To-day the colored folks
will hold their camp meeting near this
place. No doubt the physical man will
have his lungs strengthened whether
he receives the spiritual manifestation
or not. The advice to poultry is to
roost high this week. Timon.
HARDY SOLOMON’S BANK.
Some Facts in Regard to its Collapse
—What it Owed and What it Has—
Another Chapter of South Carolina
Financiering.
[Correspondence Columbia Register.]
Charleston, August 16, 1875.
During the last campaign C. C. Puf
fer was appointed Receiver of the Bank
of the State. Its assets were valued
at $600,000, and he was ordered to pocket
$30,000 down as commissions. The
firm of Baring & Bros., of London,
were clamorous for a settlement of the
State fire loan, and they had a decree
of the court in their favor. Puffer de
layed settlement during the continu
ance of the last campaign, and loaned
Hardy Solomon $165,000 of the as
sets in hands—perhaps to wage the
existing war. But the court said,
“Puffer, you must settle!” J. Pick
wick Reid was the Judge—he
delighteth in hanging people—and
Puffer, afraid for his life, settled.
This was late on the last day of
court, in the heat of Summer, when
Yellow Jack was shaking his gory locks
from out Judge Graham’s coffin at the
Pickwickian Judge. But Puffer was
willing to settle, and many respectable
lawyers amicable to the administration
were present to see it well done. The
clerk reported Puffer had turned over
everything all right to C. H. Simonton,
Esq., and then Pickwick settled the bank
by ordering the clerk to cancel Puffer’s
bond ; and said, “if he don’t be satis
fled with canceling it, ill. Clerk, return
it to him as a testimony of the fidelity
and correctness with v; .' di he has dis
charged his trust.” §

Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for

system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house Is
safer from fire than the card room.

These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac

AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5, 1875.
The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: VVc have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, lor more than one year, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines.

The Kitaon Machine Company Lowell, Maas.:
Gentlemen . ve bee : running your system of Compound Opener Lapperi and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more tii >n two vrars <m c t st the Cotton Mill of tno
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo t satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the piciter apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.

The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Maas.:
Gentlemen : This Company have now in use twenty of your Finisher Lappers, with
Eveners, and ten Compound Opener Lappers. Some of these machines have been at
work for ten years or more, and have always given us satisfaction, doing a large amount
of work, doing it well, at a low cost for labor and repairs. In our ‘ Prescott Mill,” where
we have two Compound Opener Lappers, and four Finisher Lappers, we have averaged
the past seven weeks 39,267 lbs. Cloth weekly. Yarn averaging about No. 22. Costone
14-100 mills (.00114) per lb. of cloth. We consider them a first class machine in all re
spects. Yours very truly,

The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Maas.:
Gentlemen : We have been using some of your Compound Openei Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for nearly three years, and at present are passing all
our cotton through them. The machines have proved satisfactory, and both in quantify
and quality of their work have answered the expectations formed of them.
