Many persons express them? selves as never-having heard a more .-" forcible or convincing temperance ser? mon. -The audience listened very atten? tively, and seemed deeply impressed. A Disastrous Fire. Our Townville correspondent, writing uuderdateof the 4th inst.,'says: "The ?gin house of Messrs. G. W. Maret & Co., . of thePbrk township, was destroyed by .accidental burning; yesterday evening, the fire being caused by a spark from the '. ?hgine. The Arc spread to some out ' buildings and destroyedthese. Some ten bales of seed cotton stored in the gin .' house and some 4,000 bundles of fodder in the other houses, together with gear and plantation, tools were consumed. The loss,upon, which there was no insurance, Is fairly estimated at $1,000." Mr. Maret ;' requests us to return thanks to his neigh? bors and friends, and especially to his colored neighbors, for the valuable assist? ance rendered during the fire. The Circuit Court. - ?. j The Court of General Sessions con . vened on Monday last,; Judge A. P. Al drich presiding and Solicitor Orr repre? senting the State. The Judge charged .the Grand Jury as to their duties in an able and clear-man? ner, after which he took occasion to an? tagonize the present school system and ?advocated confining the teaching of the common schools to .'the' elementary branches.

"The National Bank's building is about completed, and, ?s we stated last week, is oocnpied.by tho officers of tho Bank. It is one of the handsomest and most , sob-" stantial buUdings in the State. As most of bur readers are aware, it is built upon the corner of South Main street and the ;:<Ooxhrt House Square, the old Cray ton ?-building, which'stood there, having benn torn down-;to make room for it; Itis surrounded on the East and South by tbe handsome hew building of Messrs. Cray ton (feSons. Tho building is sixty fest deep, by twenty-five wide, and is built of pressed brick, with granite window ard . door siUs^ It-is two stories, and is cover? ed with a Mansard irbof, along theedge of. ; which runs^tf Very large cornice or gal? vanized iron. The windows are of mod? ern shape and style,' each one.. being ?capped with aiarge moulding of galvar ;ized iron., The interior of the buildingSs in full keeping with the attractive exth jrfor, and is arranged with a view to tie comfort and convenience of both the off - cers and patrons of the Bank. A fire and burglar-proof vault has been built inside. The vault Dnihg, which is of driU proof iron and steal, is surrounded by a wall cf brick thirty inches thick, and rests upon a foundation of iron and granite, laid in - cement. -Two. very heavy iron doors have to be opened before entering tha .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 jtdoubly . secure. Thev?tUt and safe were made by Herring & 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 building was gotten up by our talented yottng 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 Messrs. J. E. Peoples <fc Co. The building would be an ornament to any city, and is aiasting monument to the enterprise of the officers and Stock? holders of the Bank. The Bepuhutans at Work. - A Republican meeting-was held at the ; Greely Institute last Thursday night.' We did not know of tho meeting'until . about 10 o'clock, at which time we were passing along the street, when our atten? tion was attracted by some one delivering a speech. We approached the building, and soon discovered that it was a politi k cal meeting. ^ There were about twenty P or twenty-five negroes present, half of whom were asleep. Several harangues ? were delivered after our arrival, one or .> 1 two of the speakers (whose names we did not learn) being from Oconee County, where, they stated, the Republican party -wa? thoroughly organized and ready for' action at any time. One of them said that the day was not far distant when the honett old Republican party would again have possession of the State; that this country rightfully belonged to them and they intended to rule it. He urged tho 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 tho Republican party iu An? derson County. Jones has a fair educa? tion, and bis 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 Republicaus. He said he was a resident of Ne wberry at that time, and that the Republicans carried that County by one thousand majority, ? but that .the white people, wearing red ,' 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 that he had registered white men and re? fused to register colored men; that he had been told by the Supervisor that only those who bad become of age since the passage of the Registration Act were en? titled to receive certificates of registra? tion, but that while be was in Colombia a few days ago he saw everybody regis? tering that wanted to; that tho same thing was being done in Newberry and other Counties, and that he conld 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 bad been oppressed ever since the Republican 3k party lost tbe State, and that they sbonld B and would get control of the State again ; that if they could not got possession of the Stale inany other way, they ought to carve their way through. At tho.conclusion of Jonos' speech, tho Secretary announced that forty-liveceuts had been contributed towards defraying i the.expenses of delegates to the Conven? tion. We did not learn to which Con? vention ho referred, but presume it was the Congressional, which is to convene at Walhalla iu a few days. All the' speakers expressed themselves as being in favor of nominating acolored rhan for Congress from the Third District, ' and it is said that Jones will bo the nom? inee. If you want the best Coffee go to J. P. Sullivan & Co's. 10 BRIEF MENTION. Sore eyes are still prevailing. Business has picked up a little dnring the past week.

Towaliga, Ga-, May 24, 1884. Blood Balm Co. : We have been sell? ing your B. B. B. less than 12 months and we find it gives bettor satisfaction than any medicine wo evor sold. It is decidedly the best Blood medicine wo ever knew, and you can't say too much in its favor. Its cures aro so quick and decided, and costing so little, that our customers aro delighted with it. We know of two cases of Blood Poison and one of Catarrh cured by its use. 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. Hop? ing you great success, we remain, B. C. Kinarp & Son, 10?4 General Merchants. A Physician's Testimony.?I was call? ed to see Mr. John Pearson, who was con? fined to bis bed with what appeared to bo consumption of the worst form. As all of bis 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 had consumption, and Brewer's Lung Restorer saved his life. J. O. Hollo way, M.

Case, Esq.,) was recently entered at Trospcct Park, Brooklyn, to low? er his own record of 2.10, so as to beat "Maud 8," Vanderbilt's great mare, the fastest animal on record, and whose time was 2.092. The ex? citement was intense, 6,000 people having assembled to witness the contest, every one being eager and expectantly looking for 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 the Judges, throwing first one car and then tho other forward, as if in re? cognition of the cheering of the crowd, then passing once around the race course, just to get wanned upandpreparehimself for the race, the excitement running higher eve? ry minute, until "He is oh"! Ho is off!" echoed through the 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 the Board announced the record at 2.182, at the 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.
