AIKEN IS FOR PEACE.
An Equal Division is Now Assured In
That County.

At meeting of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Aiken County
held on Saturday the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
Whereas, it is the earnest desire of
the Democratic executive committee
of Aiken County that unity of action
may be had by all of the Democratic
voters of the county in the approaching
election for delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention, and that peace and
harmony may prevail among the white
people of our county; and to that end
we. as such committee, do hereby
prescribe the following rules to gov
ern and control said election for dele
gates to said Convention. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, 1st. That all candidates
to be voted for in the primary election
shall conform to the rules governing
their candidacy as prescribed by the
State Democratic executive committee,
and shall, in filing their pledge as re-
uuired by said rules, state therein to
which faction of the Democratic party
they belong.
2. That there shall be an equal d.
vision of the delegates between the Re
formers and Conservatives III making
ND the ticket to be voted for In the
general election, and which said can
didates to be voted for in the general
election shall be chosen in the follow
ing manner, to wit: The two Reform
ers receiving the greatest number OF
votes in said primary, and the two
Conservatives receiving the greatest
number of votes in such primary,
shall be declared as the nominees OF
the Democratic party for Aiken County
for delegatesto the Constitutional Con-
ventior.
The following were also unanimously
adopted, which are on the same line as
the above, but not as explicit:
Whereas, it is Of paramount lmpor-
tance that peace and unity in our Dem
ocratic fold be established on q firm
foundation:
Resolved, That it is the unqualified
sense of the executive committee of
the Democratic party Of Aiken County,
in meeting assembled, that an equal
division of Conservatives and Reform
membership shall prevail IL the Con
stitutional Convention from Aiken
County, and we call upon al voters to
lay aside all factional prejud!ces and
vote for two Conservative and two Re-
foru candidates in the primaries to
nominate candidates to represent aiken
County and work for this benefcent
result as G solution of the problem,
and we firmly recommend this plan as
-aAsArsiss- s-ef-eacccsrs-ru hope
will work for its accomplishment.
It was then moved that the Conser-
7atives be given equal division on the
board Of election managers. This
was adopted unanimously.

THAT AIKEN MIDDLE.
The Statement Of the Comptcotler
General.

General.
Comptroller General Norton has re-
turned from Aiken where he has re-
Gently been to make his annual settle
ment with the county officials, and 10
examine the condition of affairs IN that
county. The result of this examlna-
ton has been awaited with interest,
in view of the recent presentment OF
the grand jury of the county.
Mr.. Norton says that he found that
there are irregularities in the Office OF
the county commissioners. such as let
ting contracts for roads, bridges, etc.
He does not. however, think that there
has been any benefit accruinG to the
Individual members of the board. He
saws that it is also true that the ez-
penses of the county show an increase
Of $1,000 or IS, coo over the expenses
Of last year and previous years. While
this is true, he says, the county COM
missioners are not entirely responsible
for It, and q comparison of the ex-
rcnses for the years previous to this
year shows that the county commits
slcners had spent no money tor the
construction of roads and bridges.
This part of their duty had been neg
lected and finally it became & public
necessity this year TO begin the work.
This required an expenditure which
seems to indicate that the present COM
missiopers have spent more than they
ought to have done. The main Increase
in the expenditures is to be found IN
the court expenses, owing to the IN
crease of the number of c,imi1a! cases,
and the money that had to be paid
witnesses and jurors. It was some
thing that could not be helped.
In regard to the charge of the grand
Jury that Supervisor Sawyer had used
public funds to pay his private debts,
Mr.. Norton says that Sawyer did pay
some private debts on claim he had
against the county for money owed
him.
As to the charge Of forgery against
Sawyer, Mr.. Norton says Sawyer did
sign the name OF MAJOR Cnanplon: Cne
clerk of the board to acertificate while
Champion was sick and needed the
money, but he did it IN the presence
of The board, and with the boards con-
sent.
The Comptroller states further that,
so far as his investigation went, there
was no politics in the report Of Tire
grand Jury. It was composed oftwelve
Reformers and five Conservatives, Gpo
the special committee which investl,
gated all these things was composed OF
three Resormers aud two Conserva-
tives.
While the irregularities are appar.
ent, Mr.. Norton says he believes that
there has been no defalcation, and the
irregularities have resulted from lack
of knowledge of the law more than any
thing else.

L DOLLS FESTIVAL.

The little girls Of Japan celebrate
dolls festival on the third day of the
third month in each year. This festi-
val is most important affair, and is
kept up for three days. All the dolls
are brought out and dressed in their
best. In Mr.. Hearn's delightful
book on Japan he tells US about this
festival. He says these dolls often
represent gods and goddesses-the
the Seven Gods of Good Luck, the
God who Loves Laughter and the
God of Beautiful Writing. Mr. Hearn
asked one little girl, when he discove
cred that some Of the little girls be-
lieved their dolls could live" 'Why,
if you love it well enough it will live.
How can a doll live?" and she an
swered, "Why, if you love it we'll
enough it will live" It is this love for
their dolls that makes the little Jara-
nese girls take such good care of them;
and it is quite a common thing to find
little girl playing with a doll that
had been used by her mother, grand
mother and her great grandmother.
In the gardens of the homes of the
poor people in Japan are trees which
they worship. When a doll is brok-
en- (for even in Japan little girls some
times break dolls), they do not bury
them nor throw them away, but they
carry them out to these sacred trees,
and put them up in the limbs or at the
foot of the tree, or in the shrine; so
that even when they are useless as
playthings, they are still objects of
care to the little Japanese girls, and
Mr.. Hearn tells us that sometimes you
will see new doll, or doll in per-
feet condition, in one of these shrines
or trees, and then you know that the
little girl is dead, and that her moth
er has put it ere.-New York Re-

Professor Mark ". Harrington. chief OF the
weather bureau. has been removed by Pres
ident Cleveland. There has been friction
between Professor Harrington, who is hold
over OF the department, and Secretary Nor
ton, his official chief. for sometime.
The appointment of Willis L. Moore, OF
Illinois, to be chief of the Weather Bureau,
was announced from the White House FRI
day.
The internal revenue service is now under
the civil service and applicants who desire
positions in the revenue department must
stand their examinations under the new law
recently passed. Heretofore the internal
revenue service has been separate and dis
tinct from the operation OF the civil service

O.dway, commander of the National Guard
OF the District of Columbia. the National
Fencibles. crack military organization, and
the winner of several valuable prizes in Inter

TOYMAKERS OF THE TYKOI,,

Continuing her story of the toy
makers of the Tyrol, the late Miss
Amelia B. Edwards in her "Untrod-
den Peaks mentions many an inter-
esting visit to the homes of the work
ing people Of St. Ulrich, where so
many toys are made.
In one house, runs the account, we
found an old, old woman at work, Mag
dalena Pauldauf by name. She carved
cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and
elephants. She has made these six
animals her whole life long, and she
has no idea how to cut anything else.
She makes them in two sizes and she
turns out as nearly as possible thou
sand Of them year. See has no
model or drawing of any kind to work
by, but goes on steadily, unerring, u.s.
ing gouges of different sizes, and shap-
ing her cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
and elephants with an ease and an
amount of truth to nature that would
be clever if it were not utterly me-
chenicaL Mugdalena Paldauf learned
from her mother how to carve these
six animals, and her mother had
learned. in like manner from her
grandmother. Magdalena has now
taught the art to her own grand
daughter, and so it will go on being
transmitted for generations.
In another house Miss Edwards
found the whole family carving skulls
and crossbones for fixing at the bases
of crucifxes, for the wood carving of
Grodner Thai is religious in it's nature
as we'll as amusing In other housei
there were families that carved rock
ing horses or dolls or other toys, and
in still other houses there were fami-
lies Of painters.
''In one house." says the gifted au-
thoress, "swe found about dozen
girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. It
is separate branch of the trade to
paint saddles and headgear. A good
hand will paint about twelve dozen
horses day, each horse being one
foot in length, and for these she is
paid 55 soldj, or about 6fty-six
cents"

THE SOUTHERN STILL SCOOPING.
Will 1t 5obble Up the Seaboard Air
Line?

The New York Morning Journal says:
"Reports from Baltimore yesterday had it
that the Southern Railway has laid its plans
for the absorption OF the SeaboarI Air Line.
The reports in this city were met with state
ment from Charles H. Caster. chairman OF
the Richmond Terminal reorganization COM
mittee, to the effect that he knew nothing of
them. Generally. the report is not believed,
Such 2 move on the part Of the Southern
Railway Just now would give it pra- -tically
monopoly Of the Southeastern trade. espe-
cially the Carolinas Georgia and Florida.
where the Seaboard Air Line is at present its
only dangerous competitor. The laws of
Georgia would be, perhaps, the greatest
stumbling block in the way Of such move,
as once before when the Southern, then
known as the Richmond Terminal, scoopeo
every road in the State, it was compelled to
release one, the Western & Atlantic: to allow
the competition provided for by statute"
