Election" of Pkixciiwi..?At a mcet| ing of the .Board of Trustees of.Mount Zion Institute, on last Saturday ni<;ht, Mr. J. C. Cork was elected Principal, and Mr. S. D. Dunn Vice Principal. Mr. Cork is a young man, a native of tliis county but recently a citizen of Abbeville. lie graduated at Erskine College three years ago with the highest honors, and since that time he has been uninterruptedly engaged in the pedagogical profession. He was Prin cipal of the High School at Prosperity, and more recently has been engaged in his profession at lluntersville, X. C. In both of these places Mr. Cork has always given complete satiefaction and comes to our town highly recommended by leading educators of our State, j We feel confident, from a personalj knowledge of his worth and intellectual attainments, that the Board could not have made a more jucicions selection. Our young friend, Mr. S. 1). Dunn, elected Vice-Principal is well known to the citizens of this place. He is a young man of high moral character and enviable literary attainments. lie recently graduated at the South Carolina College with the highest honor of| his class, taking especial honors in the j mathematical department. This brilliant yonn^ gc ntleuian will make a superior instructor, and will rellcct honor upon his ahnn mater and be the pride of his friends in town. With such an j excellent sot of talented and energetic young men, there is no possible reason why Mount Zion Institute should not take the lead of high schools in the | State. Frank. Leslie's Sunday Magazine for September opens with a profusely illustrated article on "The J3ible in English," tracing the history of the -English versions from 'YVyclif's to the latest versions.

Chester vs. "Winnsboro. For some time past there have been rumors of an approaching game of base ball between the Chester and Winnsboro nines. Both were anxious for a contest, but neither was willing to be the first to move. Finally, however, the preliminaries were settled satisfactorily and it was determined to make the Winnsboro grounds the field of action. Thursday's train brought from Chester a fine looking, gentlemanly set of young men, known as the Dade Base Ball Club. They were met at the depot by the Boro boys and escorted to the Winnsboro Hotel, j where they doffed their fashionably I cut habiliments and donned those ot the diamond field. WheH they ap! pcared in their ciose fitting base ball ! costumes there was nothing of the I spider-legged dude in their appear J ances. for their uniforms set oil" to acl| vantage their well made athletic figures,, i and the Boro bovs, when thev saw them, began to quake with fear. At 4.30 p. m. the umpire, Mr. W. L. ; McDonald, gave the word and the play | began with the Dudes in the field. ! Gaillard of the Boro nine went to the | bat and went out on three strikes; ' Hanahan came next and, with a beau| tifui fly to centre field, proved to the | Boro boys that they had nothing to i fear from the swift pitching of their j opponents. Hanahan was followed by ! Matthews and Elliott, each of whom ! scored their runs. R. Brice came to | the bat and was put out; Withers fol lowed and put the side out. ' Hamilton led off for the Dudes and i was Dut out on second base: McClure I j followed and met with* the same un! happy fate; Alexander came next and made the third out. The first inning I ?ttve the Boro- boys three runs and the j Dudes whitewashed. The Boro boys ! continued in the lead for the rest of the I frame. A shower of rain came up on | the fifth inning, but the game was not | stopped as the rain did not last the required five minutes. After the rain there was a good deal of wild throw iug and poor catching cn both sides, but the game on the whole was a very interesting one. The crowd was a large and enthusiastic one.and did a great deal of yelling. Jt may not be out of place to suggest to the Boro club to endeavor to find some means of preventing the congregating of a number of little negro boys close to the diamond who yell too much and who j are constantly making remarks to aud j about the visiting cluos whenever a game is played and which must be very annoying. Of course no one objects to their assembling on the grounds, but it is the duty of the home j club to protect the visitors from annoy- i ance as well as insu The game passed over very pleasant- j ly, and there was none of that jarring 1 and snarling which so often mars the j pleasure of such occasions. Both j siilf?s exnressert themselves as beinir I "?I ? CI well pleased with the umpire, Mr. j McDonald. The Boro bovs regretted I that they werp unable to give the visit- ! ors a dance, as Prof. Smith's band is j absent filling a professional engage-1 nient at Itidgeway. The Chester men I sav that the question is not settled, as ] liic Boro boys will have to play them ! a <r.iinc on the Chester grounds. The - i 1 I> >ro boys of course will accommodate I tliein. It wiH be advisable f?r our club to practice some belurc ihi-y try , it, however, <is itick will not always he on their side. The following is the score: ' ! NATIONALS. Ktins.

I THE MILITARY AC ADEHY. Messrs. Editors: As the Board of Visitors of the Military Academy will soon have to choose an appointee for the Superintendency of this institution they would do well to consider the fitness of our young townsman Mr. Jos K. Alston for the appointment. The only objection that can be urged against him is his youth, while otherwise everything can be said in his favor. Though young he lias had much ex. pcrience in the military regime Of, schools and has served an apprenticeship in the disciplinary line. Having r been a student at three of the t>e>t mm-1 tary institutes in tlie South, viz* Col. I Thomas's, at Charlotte, L'ol. Coward's at Yorkville and-the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, he has had an j opportunity of seeing and studying the management of academies of the highest, rei.utc. A graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, the West Point of the South, he is l'ully up to ! the educational requirements of the uiijcu in quusumi, uuu gruuuauiig wjiu the highest military honors she could bestow is a guaranty to his soldiery qualities. Holding the Captaincy of . Company A, and in his last year acting as Assistant Instructor of Tactics, he < has had, as it were, a course in the Science of Discipline. To these requisites, add that of being a pcrfect gentleman, and unless you make age a sine qua non, we do not : think that the Board could make a : , 1 ociicr selection. A Friend of the S. C. M. A.

Unless we have rain soon the young corn will prove a perfect failure. ; What has become of the new road leading to Doko? A large number of hands from the upper sections, in obedience to orders, repaired to the spot and worked, or rather cut out a new road from the road leading from the Boro to Ridge way a? far as Mr. Jas.

AYER'S Cherry Pectoral No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with bv the maioritv of suffer ers. Tlie ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. Ayer's Ceeerey Pectosal has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay. A Terrible CongTh Cured. " In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a terrible cough^and passed night after night without slsep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Ayek's Cheeky Pectoual, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the Pectoeal a perrna V.U1C \?

"TVbile in the country last'winter my little boy, three years old, was taken ill "with croup; it seemed as if he would die from strangulation. One of the family suggested the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of which was always kept in the house. This was tried in small and frequent doses, and to our delight in less than half an hour the little patient,was "breathing easily. The doctor said that the Cherry Pectoral had saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at our gratitude ? Sincerely yours, ivies. Emma Gedxey." 150 West 128th St., Sew York, May 1C, 1882.
