competition between them.

feci sure that, our subscribers will
regret to learn this fact, as he had furnished
them the local news in an easy
and graceful style. "We regret very
much to loose him, but if reports are
true, we suppose he is excusable as it
is almost impossible for a man to be a
local editor and visit his sweetheart as
often as desirable.
A Stock Exhibition.?Rock Hill is
to have a stock exhibition on the first
of September, and already arrangements
have been completed for a large j
representation. Can't our county get!
up something of the kind? The in- :
creased interest within the past few
years of a number of our citizens in
raising line stock is certainly very
gratifying and we think something of
the kind mentioned above would create
a greater interest among our people in
this direction, and show what progress
has been made in improving the stock
of our countv.
Railroad Meeting.?The Chester
people are taking a lively interest in
the projeiJted railroad through their
copnty from Western North Carolina
tC Sumter. A large and enthusiastic
meeting was held at Mount Zion
church, near the Fairfield line, 011
Tuesday last. The people in the northeastern
section of our county are very
much elated over the prospects of
having a railroad at an early day. "We

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.

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 ,

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.
SOTJSS FROM SIMPSON.
Messrs. Editors: Some time has
elapsed since we have seen anything in
your valuable paper from the Simpson
or Ridge way townships. "What has
become of your correspondent uGum ;
Spring"? If he knew how much his ;
communications arc appreciated by the
people in this section, he would give
them to us oftener.
Ten days ago the crop prospets were
never. better, but the dry, parching
winds are playing havoc with tkc
crops. 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. F. Kennedy's, where they expected
to meet the hands from below,
but as yet the hands from* the Doko

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 \? AO JL AiU 4iV? V- JtiWJ
old, bale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral saved me.

Rockingham, Vt., July 15,1882.
Croup.?A Mother's Tribute.
"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.
" I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds we have ever
tried. A. J. Craxe."

" 1 cannot say enough in praise of Atee's
Chkruy Pectoral, Delieving as I do that
but fur its use I should long since have died

Palestine, Texas, April 22,1882.
No case of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Avee's Ciiekkv Pectoeal,
and it will always aire when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
