SOCIETY. j A moat enthusiastic meeiiug of the ! Executive Committee of the Fairfield ' County Agricultural Society was held here 011 Saturday. A deep interest prevailed throughout the meeting'and the members seemed determined to leave nothing undone which would tend to make ihe coming Institute a grand success. The following are some matters upon which th" committee acted: It was decided that two speakers be invited for the ^occasion. but who the speakers will be has not been definitely docided yet. Their names will be published later when a selection has been made. 'P..,* li.ill/.in, asru nsiniij? and nara-1 chute leaps will be made provided (he required amount, about $150, can be raised. This plan if carried out will undoubtedly attract large numbers of persons who otherwise would not attend: and if the merchants would encourage this plsn by substantial contribution, and in our opinion no more profitable investment could be i iiu.de, it would add immeimely to the ! attraciivene.?s of the Institute, i In addition to premiums already j offered the following were added to j the list: For the best bushel of rye, one year's ! subscription to the American Agricid< ftiritt. Largest pumpkin, some premium as ' above. ' The premiums on wine were omitted I ; from the published list, but they will I be the same as for the preceding year, !

The colored farmers met :it Winnsboro Saturday to organize in co-ope ration with the .Stale Fair, which will be held at Columbia, S. C., November 2:5 to 27 inclusive. The attendance was very good and much interest was manifested by the farmer* from every section of the county. A. R. Ca<on was elected permanent chairman of the organization and Charley. J. Henderson .secretary. The following committee was appointed: Ed. Henry, Timbow Singletan, Isreal Haynes, I). C. Cason and (ieorge County. The general committee will appornt as many sub-committees in the various other sections of the county as sliall be deemed necessary. Under this arrangement all exhibits can be collected and shipped without difficulty. The committee will solicit of the merchants of Winnsboro all aid possible to assist in paying the expenses of the fair. The contributions! for this occasion will be given to the press with the names of the contributors. The following resolution was proposed and adopted: Whereas, our limited resources will not permit us to unite with ltaleigh exposition, and that it would be more appropriate to ask us to support such a scheme twent-tive years later; therefore be it JlesolceJ, That we, the citizens of Fairfield County, do refuse to patronize the scheme and that we giye our undivided support to our own State Fair, which is a true incentive to develop the resources of our people at home.

Miss Susie Mackorell will commence the public school in the neighborhood on the first Monday in October. "While on the school subjcct, I will say. I have heard complaint in different neighborhoods of teachers (I believe it thoughtlessness in them) giving night lessons to children that they cannot comprehend?for instance arithmetic?causing parents worry aud trouble assisting them. Schools are taught so few hours iu the day that it is study at night and recite at school?somewhat on the college style. That will work all right by the timrt a pupil is ready to enter college, when they are old enough to think and reason for themselves, but it wont do for beginners. There should be some general understanding among trustees, where children are on or near the line, and more convenient to a school in an adjoining township than where they reside. In some townships I believe it customary to pay $1.65 per scholar? two mill tax.

I would thank School Commissioner Milling to suggest some plan through your columns on the subject; also, how many hours the law requires the public schools to be actually taught a day; also, how many days required to be actually taught a month. 1 remember our fearless Governor, ! recommended in his inaugural that poll tax?that goes to the schools be raised to $3.00. Has the Legislature i ever acted on the suggestion? It would be quite an addition ta the schools. C. S. Y.

C..Oct. 1.?Special: (Jur good weather was broken 011 Sunday last br a good rain accom patriot! by sonic wind, followed by rain on Monday also. While the rain was much needed it caused the usual complaint among- farmers as to damage done open cotton by discoloring it with dirt, although it is again regaining iU white appearance. The crop yield is still growing shorter and I am looking for a general reduction when the October report is made up. Some few have sown some outs. There is quite a scarcity of seed as the crop was nearly all consumed for feed. The ginunery operated by Mr. J. F. Curlee at the Messrs. Smith is kept constantly at work. Jle expects to get nearly live hundred bales to gin at this stand this season. It was our good fortune to attend a birthday supper at Mr. J. L.

The table was beautifully decorated with rich and rave flowers and the dining hall was also beautifully and tastefully decorated. There were about lifty of their youngfriends present to add their bright smiles and merry voices to the occasion. After supper they repaired to the parlor and whiled away the time with plays and pleasurable amusement. All things passed oft' pleasantly and nicely and many were the happy wishes that Misses Lilie and Gussie might live to enjoy many such happy occasions.
