PROF. q. j. WOOD-Dear Sir: take pleas.
ure in paying voluntary testimony to the magic
effects of your wonderful Hair Restorative. As
tar back Us 1850, my hair commenced falling off,
until the top Of my scalp became bald and smooth
us glass, and it has continued to fall for great
many years, notwithstanding have used many
celebrated preparations for restoration. Seeing
your advertisement, was induced % give your
article trial, and to my utter astonshmcnt
found, after few applications that my hair be-
came firmly set and assumed u glossy and beau
tifu appearance; and by the time Ihad used
quart bottle my bald. head was covered over with
young and vigorous growth Of hair, which is
now from ono to two inches in length and grow
ing fast.
Yours truly, HENRY GOODRICH.

U The sharpness OF the NJ. g. G.
Railroad officials is not to be disputed.
The company is in debt to many of our
citizens in sums large and small, and
a few of them, thinking they had wait
ed long enough, some time since levied
upon freight charges owed to the COM
pany by persons hereabouts. AS it
is a fundamental principle with the
agents of the Railroad to pay none Of
its debts, this proceeding of its credit.
ors was not to be endured. The off,
cials at once passed an orderr requiring
shippers to prepay the freights on all
goods for Macarthur Station, and this
order is still in force. We should have
mentioned this fact before, for the
benefit Of those who may have had
goods in traa8itu for this place.

Mass Meeting at Williamson.

AUaUsr ga large number of persons,
of both sexes, assembled here, to-day, in
mass meeting. The sturdy yeomanrv of
the p-country turned out in large numbers;
and representatives from Abbcville, Green
vile, Edgefeld, Pickens and other districts
also appeared upon the ground The com
pany met in grove hard by the Springs,
where covered platform and seats had been
provided for the grand occasion.
At 103 a. m, Mr.. Griffin, the President
of the day, announced the programme
agreed upon. The candidates for Congress
were to speak first, then the candidates for
the State Legislature, and lastly, Col. Kcitt
and Col. Orr members of Congress.
Candidates .tor Congress.- +. p.
Jones, of Grecnville, opened the way. He
said that he appeared before his fcliow.ci.. !.
liens as candidate for Congress He was
aware ofthc responsibility he thereby as
sumed. IIc was glad to meet so many of
his countrymen, and would be proud to rep
resent so numerous a constituency. 1t was
true he did not reside amongst them vet
he was one of them. Those glcns and
mountains, those gushing springs were his
as well as theirs. Politically, he said he
stood upon the Democratic platform as laid
down at Cincinnati. Under the Democrat
ic banner he placed himself, and expected
to fight beneath its folds. He approved of
all the principles of the Democratic party,
thought they were true, and that Mr.. Cal
houn, If living, would endorse them. He
could not appreciate the difference between
National and State Rights Democrats. To
sustain the National Democracy, and to CO.
operate With the true men of the North,
wherever found this he heregaried our duty
as well as our proper policy, He was no
disunionist per Sc. This Union was the
result of years of toll. 1t was easy to over
throw, but hard to build up. He would
not, therefore, change the Government, save
for dire necessity.
He was proud of the greatness of the
country. Trayersed by railroads, and fill
cd with theresults Of labor, he would, if
possible, preserve it in all its wide bounda-
rics. He would not, however, disguise the
fact that there was danger to us in the flu
turc. Douglas, who had once stood on
commanding ground, and within step 10
the Presidency, had proved reoreant. BS-
naticism, too, still persaded the Northern
mind. Hc feared, therefore, Tor the Union,
