IIklics of Republicanism.?Some 1 lays ago the Comptroller General in >rder to make room in his office, con- 1 ;1 tided to cut a trap door in the floor ' md store some articles in the collar. > When it was done, instead of finding a 1 racant space under his floor, lie found ' t filled with valuable granite ballusers, some of the same kind having jeen used in ornamenting the windows xnd doors of the State House. The J :heory advanced is that in 1S70, when ; he Republicans were sharing the ' naterials left around the State House, Comptroller Dunn took his share and 1 secured it under his office by means of 1 * trap door, hoping to be able to use ' it at some future time. In 1S7G when lie saw it would be impossible for him :o use thu material for his private 1 benefit, he told his successor that he had saved those to the State. Gen. Elagood never thought any thing more ibout it after he could not find the trap Joor. It was discovered a few days ago by Assistant Architect Schmidt, with the foregoing result. There are about a thousand of them already dressed and are said to be worth $20 apiece. This i> a considerable finding for the State, 011.1 lijntr>ii hv- sfimn ilint lurther investigation would probably reveal some bonds, boxes of silver, &c. What a good time the Republicans had no one will ever know hut themselves. The Gordon J.ight Infantry.

THE MO UXT ZIOX BUILDISGS. Proceedings of the Meeting of Citizens Held to Congider their Condition. Pursuant to the notice published in Tiie News axl> IIkkald, a number of; lie citizens of Winnsboro assembled j n the Town Ilall on Thursday inornng, to take info consideration the. present condition of the buildings of Mount Zion Institute. Oapt. II. A. Gaillard was called to lie chair, and Mr. Jno. S. Reynolds ivas requested to act as secretary. The :hairman stated the object of the necting, and invited the suggestions >f those present. Mr. J. F. McMastcr stated that about hree years ago a subscription list was nade up, and about three hundred lollars subscribed, though nothing has ,-et been done in the way of collection. Mr. T. K. Elliott inquired whether my gentleman present had any plan :o suggest. Mr. J. C. Caldwell stated hat the condition cf the buildings | jailed for immediate action. Both repairs and additions, he thought, were lceded, and these would involve an expenditure of between $2,500 and $3,000. lie moved that a committee >f live be appointed to confer with the Building Committee of Mount Zion Society, in order to ascertain the character and extent of the repairs required, and to devise measures to raise the necessrry funds. Mr. J. M. Beatv urged the imporamice ot at once making the necessary mprovements. lie suggested that an addition be mads to the present buildng by erecting a two-story frame louse in front. lie thought that what tvas to be done ought to be done: m mediately. Mr. T. II. Ketchin expressed himself as opposed to further patching. EIc thought (hat with proper efforts a juilding costing five or s* : thousand lollars could be put up, and this ought1 :o be done even if it involved the rearing down of the building now in ise. He thought it best to put up something good at once. Mr. G. II. McMaster regretted that ihc meeting was so small. He had expected a much larger attendance. He did not doubt the importance of the improvements under consideration. Good buildings will help to make a jood school, and a good school will help the whole community. He thought the best plan to be the building Df a teachcr's dwcliiug, and the proper repairing of the present school-rooms. After some further debate, the motion made by Mr. Caldwell was unanimously adopted. The chairman appointed as the committee Messrs. J. C. Caldwell, T. K. Elliott, T. H. Ketchin, J. M. Bcaty and J. F. McMaster. Mr. Reynolds moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with the Town Council, with a view, if practicable, to get the aid of the municipality in making the needed improvements. Alter some discussion the motion was adopted. The chairman appointed as the committee Messrs. Gr. II. McMaster, J. ?. McDonald and Jno. S. Reynolds. On motion, the meeting then adjourned, till Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock. ?Women are everywhere using and recommending Parker's Tonic because they learned from experience that it speedily overcomes despondency, indigestion. nain or weakness in the hack and kidneys, and other troubles peculiar to their sex. * V .v * RAILROAD MEETIXG.

By its use light or red hair maybe darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. It checks falling of the hair, ana stimulates a weak and sickly growth to Tigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and licals nearly every disease peculiar to tlie scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Mr. C. P. Brtcher writes from Kirby, 0.. July 3, 1n?2 : " Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of Ayeu's Hair Vigor, which stopped the falling of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald." J. TV. Bowex, proprietor of the Me Arthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says:" ater's Hair Vigor is a most excellent preparation he hair. i speak of it from my own exi .rience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Mr. Axgcs Fairbairjt, leader of the celebrated " Fairbairn Family" of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1SS0: " Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I have used aver's Hair Vigor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness?a matter of AAMSAMnAtMIA +A TW J ft ? Of fl1?0 Ari? J tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives in ike eyes of the public." Mrs. 0. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm St.. Charlestoicn, Mass., April 14, 1882, says: " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came otf. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Aysr's Hair Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." "We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the cfficacy of Aver's Hair Vigor. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptical of its value. prepared by Dr.J.C.Ayer&Co.,Lowell,Mass.
