Trouble III Aiken.

The grand jury of Aiken County
sprung q sensation on last We'd
nesday by the report of County
affairs.
They report First; "Bills have
been paid which have lot been
sworn to, as the law requires. Sec
ond; y number Of bridges have
been built on private roads, and
these were not advertised and lei
to the lowest bidder, as required
by the law. Third; Two trial
justices have been over paid
Fourth; The clerk of the board
has been paid for thirteen months
service during the last year in
stead of twelve. Fifth. The ccun-
ty court house has been painted
and stables built at 4 very eNtrav-
agant price.
Under the new administration,
with Mr.. J. ". Sawyer as super
visor, the jury report the same
reckless extravaganza and fraudu-
lent appropriation Of money has
gone or unchecked. In fact Mr.
Sawyer has gone so far beyond
bound of right and justice as 10
pay private bill for hardware out
of the money of the county.
Judge Richard Watts aptly
summed up the situation by say
ing that the affairs of Aiken coun-
ty are in most deplorable condi-
ton. The Judge stated further tc
the jury that proper steps would
be taken in the matter immedi.
ately. The commissioners may be
indicted"

Democrats of Edgefeld-Re-

think you of the above quotations
from Col. John J. Dargan, OF Sum-
ter, who is announced to speak III
our Court House to-day? His do:-
trInes are well-nigh the same, if
not more Objectionable, than those
held by Chamberlain years ago,
and would inevitably bring about
a repetition of the ever memorable
dark and dreary Reconstruction
wears prior to the glorious dawn
of White Supremacy and the in
auguration of a White Mans Gov
ernmcnt in 1S76l
Now, although Mr.. Dargan may
favor giving negroes "a place in
the picture" again as office hol-
ders, yet we beg to assure him,
and all others of like ilk, that
never, no, nccer, will negroes be
permitted to hold office again III

prototype, entitled TO higher con-
sideration III ninrty-fve? And if
so, why?

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. "a local pa
per says there is strong probability
that an effort will be made to have the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight take place in
San Mateo county under the auspices of
the Colma Athletic club. Months ago
some prominent San Francisco sporting
men got the officials in San Mateo county
to allow prize fighting. A strong under
current Of influence was brought to bear
on those officials. and the several fights
which have been held at Colma would
not justify the amount OF pressure which
was put in motion to get the franchise.
1t is openly stated that the prize fight
ing permit at Gonna, was obtained with a
view of getting some big fight. the Cor
tt-Fitzsimmons physical contest pre-
ferred.
Dan Stuart, the manager of the fight,
said today that he mad three places in
view, two of which he named as Mexico
and Indian territory. The third place
he omitted to mention. 1t is believed that
he had California in mind.

The popularity and respect that Mr..

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 3.-The AS
ISOLATED Press agent today endeavored
to secure the opinion of General Diaz
on the question of allowing the prize
fight between Corbett and F'itzsim-
mons on Mexican territory, but the
president was in seclusion with mem
bers of his family on account of the
death Of his father-in-law, Manuel Ro-
nero Rubio. An intimate friend of
the president, however, said that the
question had already been decided on
at a consultation with the governor of
Chihuahua, who had telegraphed for
the presidents opinion. The latter had
replied peremptorily forbidding the
prize fight occurring on Mexican soil.
Overtures had likewise been unsuccess-
fully made to the government of the
state of Hidalgo. General Diaz is OPP
posed to the introduction of prize fight
Ing here and is extremely firm in the
matter. This is absolutely authentic
and dfsposes of the matter.
