IMPORTANT To THE CoTToN FAcToRs.-We notice
in the EdgeieId Advertiser, that some merchants
OF Aiken, Messrs. II. WERsELs Co. and Messrs
HAHN & SCHROEDER, offer to ship cotton from
Aiken to Charleston free of charge. Many years
ago from $1,000 to 10000 bags OF cotton were Tor
warded from. Aiken There were in those days
large warehouses in Aiken for the storage OF COT
ton, and it's streets resounded with the tlnkllnS
bells of hundreds of teams bringing the staple
from distant points. But in the great financial re-
vulsion OF 1887 those houses engaged III the cot
ton trade III Aiken were swept away i'll the general
tornado. Since then the superior facilities afforded
by the South aroina Railroad at its termini have
concentrated the trade at those points
The merchants and business men Of Aiken are
now endea voripg to inaugurate q new era And
we understand that the gentlemanly agent of the
South Caroline Eaiircad at Augusta, Mr. John E.
MARLEY, has assured them that every facility for
the transportation of. cotton from Aiken will now
he afforded by the Comnany. And further, that
Mr.. WALLACE, Collector of United States Internal
Revenue for the Sd District, has appointed Mr. Z.
LaTHRop as Receiver of the Internal Revenue
tax on all cotton raised in his collection District
Edeefeld and Lexington which may be taken to
Aiken.
Aiken has long been considered one OF the most
healthy situations in the State, aud when ether
localities are afflicted with malarious fevers, it is
exempt This is caused by its elevation above the
sea level, and the absence Of any streams or
sxamns in its neighborhood. ON account of its
proximity 80 the railroad, Akn offers superior
advantages to shippers, and we ale glad to see
.he+ her business men are anxious to resucitate
both her own fortunes and those of the State me-
tropolis. The offer made by these trims to snp
cotton free of charge will relieve the planter from
numerous yexations while it will have the effect
of increasing the trade of the town: Their e1an'-
ple is worthy Of imitation and If the business
men in other localities would Use every effort to
direct trade to Charleston, the result would be IN
creased prosperity both to the consiSuor ana con
signee.

No Use for Trousers.

The following apetdote which goes the
rounds of the press every once in while,
has the merit of being al actual fact. O!d
Peyton Roberts, properly Nathan Roberts,
lived in BeakeIoy couLty, Va, and be used
to tell the story himself:
On the morning Of the metoric shower in
1888, be rt nled making an early start to
his work, and got up in the midst OF the dis
play. Ga going to lis door he saw with as
tonshment the sky lit up with the falling me-
leors and he concluded at once that the world
was on fire aod that the Day Of Judgment
had come He stood for moment gain
in speechless terror at the scene, and then
with yell of horror, sprung out Of the door
righ! in the midst of the falling stars and
there he commenced series Of ground tum-
bling that would have done honor to a rope
dancer.
His wife being awakened in the meantime
and seeing Peyton jumping anI skipping a
bout the yard, called out 10 him to know
"What in the name OF common sense he was
dom out thar, dancin' round without his
clothes on!' But Peyton heard not. The
Judgment and long black account he would
have to settle, made him heedess Of terres
trial things: and his wife, becoming alarmed
at his behavior, sprang out of bed, aud run
ming to the door. shrieked out at the top Of
her voice: "Ptyton! Peyton, say. what do
you mean by JUMP in about thar. Come and
put your bleeches Or" "Breechesl what the
ID is the use Of lreecbes when the world
is on tire!'

A Strange Affair.

A iailor at Donaldsonville, La, who had
buried his wifein the early part of May, mar
ried again in three or four weeks afterwards.
This so shocked the moral sense Of the commu-
nity that public meeting was called, and q
procession formed and marched to his residence
and took him out. After being marched out
of his dooryard to the tune Of the dead march,
with lighted candles on each side of him, the
procession formed, music in front, the latter
consisting Of oil cans, horns, tin pans, and o
large bell, carried on the shoulders of two OF
the party, which was tolled continually, while
cries of mirth and jolity tended to enliven the
scene. After traversing the principal streets
and thoroughly arousing everybody in town
who was not engaged in it, they proceeded to
the final act, it now being near the hour Of
midnight After forming properly, the pro-
cession moved to the where the affair was finish
ed by his kneeling down at the grave and asking
pardon of his late wifes spirit after which the
party proceeded to a saloon and taking drink at
bis expense he was permitted to rejon his new
made wife-this being the third marriage bond

The Cost of the Negro.

Great Britain bought her negroes at $780,
600, 900, and set them free, taxing the white
laboring classesof her kingdom to pay for them.
We went to war to free ours, and it has cost US
nearly four thousand millions of dollars. The
interest on this debt we are now paying, but it
is wrenched from the people in such variety
of ways, that three-quarters of them have no
idea how it is done. 1t is more insensible in
the mode of its operation than the sleep that
steals over the drugged victim, but it is none
the less fatal Perhaps the item Of tea presents
the most forcible instance of the cost of the ne
gro war that can be adduced. "Teac can be fur
nished," says the Philadelphia Ledger, " from
China and Japan, at our ports, for about so
cents per pound in gold. Taking this as a
starting point, the additional charges before 1t
reaches the table of the consumer are said to
accumulate as follows: Original cost OF tea,
imported, so cts; discount on currency to pay
for it, 90 cts. duty in gold, 25 cts. discount
on currency to make up the gold, Is cts. con-
tingencies, 10 cts. profit of importer, IL cts. |;
profit of iobber, IS cts. profit OF retailer, say
80 cts. Total, 81 "a. OF this fifty-four cents
are comprised in three profits, thirty-five cents
in exchange for gold, twenty-five cents in du-
ties, and ten cents in contingencies in all one
dollar and twenty-four cents, in addition to the
cost on board ship at CUR wharves. Before the
war thee would have been about as follows; :;
Original cost, imported, so cts; ten per cent.
for contingencies, cts. profit of importer, 8
cts. profit of jobber, 6 cts. profit to the re-
taller, II cts. Total, so cts" The reader can
sec here at glance that he is paying just about
81 extra for every pound of tea he uses, solely
because of the grand frolic of freeing the mig
gers. IN y. Day Book.

"The Old Woman"

Once she was Mother, "and Il was Mother,
I'm hungry" "Mothes, mend my jacket" and
Mother, put up my dinner and Mother
with her loving hahds, would spread The bread
and butter, and stow away the luncheon, and
sew on the great patch, her heart brimming
with affection for the itnpetious little curly
pate that made hef so many steps, and nearly
distracted her with his boisterous mirth:
Now she is the "old woman" but she did
not think then that il would ever como to that,
She looked on through the future years and
saw her boy to manhood grown; and he stood
transfgured in the light Of her own beautiful
love. Never was there moro noble son than
he-honored of the world, and the staff Of her
declining years.
Aye, he was her support even then, but sho
did not know il. Shenever realized that twas
her little boy that gave her strength for daily
toil-that his slender form was all that upheld
her over the brink Of dark despair. She only
knew how she loved thechild, and felt that amid
the mists Of age his love would bear her gently
through its infrmities to the dark hall leading
to the life beyond.
But the son has forgotten the mothers tender
ministrstions now. Adrift from tho mooflngs
of home, bo ia cold, selfish, heartless, and
Mother has no sscred meaning to the prodi-
gal. She is "The old woman" wrinklcd,gts
lame and blind.
Pity her, o grave, and dry those tears that
roll down her furrowed chceksl Have COM
passion on her sensitive hoart, and offer II thy
quiet rest, that IL may forget how much It lon
ged to be ''dear mother 70 the boy il nourished
through Q careless childhood, but IN return fcr
all this wealth Of tenderness has only given back
repfoach.
