Our Townville correspondent, writing nuder date of the 4th- inst.,* says": "The u gin house of Messrs. G. W. Maret & Co., of the Fork township, was destroyed by .accidental burning yesterday evening, _ the fire being caused by a spark from the engine, The fire spread to some out ^Cuudingsand destroyed these.

A Magnificent Bunding. Tho National Bank's building Is about rompleted, and, as we stated last week, is oacupied.by the officers of the Bank.. It is-one of the handsomest and most sub-' stantial buildings in the State. . As most' of our readers are aware, it is built upon the corner of South Main street and the Court House Square, the old Cray ton building, which-stood there, having been torn down*;to make room for it; It is ? surrounded on the East and South by the handsome new building of Messrs. Cray-, ton ifc Sons.- The building is sixty feet deep by twenty-five wide, and is built of pressed brick, with granite window and . dwr'silj's^-It-is 'two stories, and is cover? ed with a Mansard roof, along the-'edge ot. which rune -a Very large cornice orgal-' . vanized iron. The windows are of mod? ern shape and style, each one.[.being, capped with alatge moulding of galvan? ized Iron. The interior of the buildingis in full keeping with the attractive exte? rior, and is arranged with a view to the comfort and convenience of both the offi? cers and patrons of the Bank. A fire and . burglar-proof vault has been built inside. Tho vault lining, which is of driU proof iron, and steel, is surrounded by a wall of brick thirty inehes thick, and rests upon a foundation of iron and granite, laid in - cement. Two very heavy iron doors ? hive to be opened before entering the vault, which is air tight, and inside of - which is a solid iron burglar-proof safe of the very best quality made. The money is kept in the safe, which makes it doubly . secure. The vault and safe were made by Herring <fc Co., of New York.. The sec? ond story of the building is divided into four rooms, -which are entered from a" stairway leading from Main street. The plan of the builaing was gotten up by our talented young architect, Mr. A. W. Todd, who also superintended its erection. The brick work was done by Mr. G. F. An? derson, the painting by Mr.. J. L. Arnold ? and tin work by Mesnrs. J. E. Peoples <k Co. The building would be an ornament ; to any citv, and is a.lasting monument to the enterprise of the officers and Stock : holders of the Bank. The Bepablicaus at Work. ? A RepabUcan meeting was held at the - Greely Institute last Thursday night.' . We did not know of-the meetingfuntil about 10 o'clock/ at which time wo were passing along the street, when our atten? tion was attracted bye some one delivering a speech. We approached the building, and soon discovered that it was a politl k cal meeting. > There were, about twenty V or twenty-fire negroes present, h.If of whom were asleep. Several harangues - were delivered after our .arrival, one or two of the speakers (whose names we did not learn) being from Qconee County, where, they stated, the Republican party ?'^ri thoroughly organized and ready i^r action at any tune. One of them said that the day was not far distant wben the honest old Republican party would again have possession of the State; that . this country rightfully belonged to them and they intended to rale iL He urged the negroes to organize themselves, and said he hoped they would revive the Union League, which would - enable each and every one of them to keep posted as to the situation of affairs. The last speech was made by Lawrence Jones, colored, Chairman of the Republican party in An? derson County. Jones has a fair educa? tion, and his remarks were delivered in very good style. Throughout his speech his remarks were very bitter, inflamma? tory and denunciatory, accusing the Dem? ocratic party of doing everything mean and dishonest. He went back to 1876, when, he said, the Democrats had stolen the State from the Republicans. He said he was a resident of Newberry at that time, and; that the Republicans carried that County by one thousand majority, but that the white people, wearing red r shirts and armed with rifles, came in and took possession of the offices, run? ning the-Republicans out of town. He then arraigned the Democratic party for the passage of the eight-box law and the Registration law. He attacked our effi? cient Supervisor of Registration, saying at he had registered white men and re? used to register colored men; that he had been told by the Supervisor that only those who had become of age since the passage of the Registration Act were en? titled to receive certificates of registra? tion, but that while he was in Columbia a few days ago he saw everybody regis? tering: that wanted to; that the same thing was being done in Newberry and . other.Counties, and that he could not tell why a colored man was denied the privi? lege of registering in Anderson County. He urged his hearers to keep their eyes and ears open, and to thoroughly organ? ize themselves. He said his people had been oppressed ever since the Republican *k party lost the State, and that they should m and would get control of the State again ; that if they could not got possession of the State in any other way, they ought to carve their way through. ? At tho.conclusion oi' Jones' .speech, the Secretary announced that forty-live cents had been contributed towards defraying .the expenses of delegates to the Convon ? tiou; We-did not learn to which Con? vention-, ho referred, but presume it was the Congressional, which is to convene at Wa! halla in a Tew days. All the speakers expressed themselves us being in favor of nominating a colored man for Congress from the Third District, - and it is said that Jones will be the nom? inee. ]c if you want the best Coffee go to J.

One of the above cases had taken about four dozen bottles of noted blood medi? cine without any benefit, but he was cured with seven bottles of B. B. B. We can't sell any other Blood Purifier now.

As all of his family had died with that dread disease (except his half brother), his death was re? garded as certain and soon. After exhaust? ing all the remedies, I finally, as a last re? sort, sent for a bottle of Brewer's Lung Re? storer, and it acted like magic. He contin? ued the use of it for some time and has been fully restored to health. So far as I could discover, he bad consumption, and Brewer's Lung Restorer saved his life. J. O. Holloway, M.

Case, Esq.,) was recently entered at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to low? er his own record of 2.10, so as to beat "Maud 8," Vanderbilt's great marc, the fastest animal on record, and whose time was 2.09J. The ex? citement was intense, 6,000 people having assembled to witness the contest, every one being eager and expectantly looking ior the favor? ite to appear. At about 3 o'clock p. m. "J. I. C," amid tremendous applause, came down the track, passing the Grand Stand of tbo Judges, throwing first one ear and then the other forward, as if in re? cognition of the cheering of the crowd, then passing once around the race course, just to get warmed up and prepare himself for tbe race, tbe excitement running higher eve? ry minute, until "He is off! Ho is off!" echoed through tbe crowd. And sure enough, he was off! With rapid strides he moved on, on, in? creasing his speed at every step, fairly flying through the air, as if by magic, passing around the curves like a whirlwind; then coming in plain view of the spectators, every? body on tip-toe, and the excitement of the people was at fever heat to get a glimpse of the beautiful black steed as he dashed along. Passing by the Grand Stand he slacked up, and after returning in front of the Judges'Stand, in a few moments tbe Board announced the record at 2.182, at tbe second trial at 2.14, and the third time at 2.121. Now, ladies aud gentlemen, we want it understood that we arc al? ways in the race for giving low pri? ces, and competing in our lines le? gitimately with ANYBODY, and we propose to lower our record.
