The firfct iarmerss' institute held under the auspices of the newly organized Fairjield Agricultural Association met "n the court house on Saturday at 11 o'clock. Mr. Jas. M. Stewart, president of the association, in opening the meeting stated the object of the organization, and explained the character ?.nd scope of the work proposed, Mr. Stewart then introduced Prof. C. M. Fnrman, who made "Industrial Eclacation" the subject of his remarks. Prof. Furman gave an interesting historical sketch of industrial education in this country, and then proceeded to explain in detail the plan that Ciemson College and the s C. "E-merimenfc Station will pursue in giving the farmers practical assistance and co-operation in their work. His remarks were listened to with the closest attention by those present. At the conclusion of this address Prof. Shiver, the assistant chemist at Clemson, was introduced and he delivered a most entertaining and instructive address on "Commercial Fertilizers." This is a subject of deep practical interest to plauters and those present derived much benefit from Prof. Shiver's reiaarks. Prof. Hart, who is in charge of the dairy farm at Ciemsot> was the next ! speaker. i=? au expert, in ibis line, and his address contained a great deal of valuable information. Dairy farming is rapidly becoming an important industry in Fairfield, and Prof. Hart's timely address was particularly interesting to ;hose who arc making dairying a prominent feature in t^eir ' i farming operations. Prof. DuPre '! whose specialty is horticulture was present, bu;, unfortunately, the numj ber of persons present when his turn | came to spe.ik was too small to warrant his making an address, rf Ovring to tbc fact that farmers are j unusaally busy at this time the ati teodaucs w.-.s net very large. The 5 time selected was unfortunate. It i: 3 hoperf that in future the meetings cau g beheld after the crops are laid by s and farmers have mere time at theii y disposal. s ?? ?

Says that the Board of Commissioners Designates the Koads to be "Worked by the Gang. Mr. Editor: I notice a communicatioQ in yonr issue of the lGth inst. from Mr. A. W. Ladd in reference to the wtrk of the chain gang. In reply I Deed only say that tbe direction of the chain tfang as to where it is to work is wholly at the discretion of the county board, which is composed of one representative from each township. They meet frequently and direct the movements of the gang, as to where it is to work, &c, It is the unanimous purpose of that board to put roads in the best condition in such _1 a. 1-1!. J T t.n uiauKS as uju puum; mav ucinc iu& mest advantage; lor instance the whole county will travel the various roads leading directly into "Winnsboro, while if we were to start the work oil any branch road then tbe bonefit would only be for those who live on that particular road. Oa the other hand, the chain gang has on?y been in operation j about two } ears. and it is impossible | to work all roads in tk^ county i:i so j short a time; bat I think tbe amount! and quality of work already done by j k/v svrt-rtrv rrry 11 CO!?C+'tr 01 ? thikf in < ! nit: luaiu uxu a-a. j ?-*.* ^?i. ?*. ? few years more the roaOs of the whole county will be substantially improved, and whan they are once pat in good condition, as we are now doing, then the work of the gang will be much more rapid and the visits of the gang to different parls of the county will be much more frequent. But we find that it is useless to rush over a section of road and half do the work, as it is about as bad a3 no working As to that particular section of road to which Mr. Ladd refers, I will say that there are four other public roads running through the same neighborhood upon which the hands of the community will be put. As they are not so important as the Bell's Bridge roaa the chain gang will not be pat to work op them until all the principal roads of the county have been worked. I hope Mr. Ladd will understand my position in this matter, and every one may rest assured that every effort of mine in the discharge of public duty is to benefit the whole people. Respectfully, B.

My friends have presented my name to the voters of Fairfield County as a candidate for the office of Superintendent ot Education. Permit 4me to say, therefore, that if I am eleeted, I will serve the public to the best of my fthilit.v. There are some considera-1 tions why I have consented to accept the position if it should be tendered to me. In the first place, it' has been suggested that, being a minister, I might be enabled to give moral (one to (lie schools. This is a consideration that weighs mightily with me. | For L am profoundly conscious thatj auv effort to educate the intellect, while giving no attention to moral culture, is sadly deficient. My friends j t,.of the, nlTtno wfinlrl add to IIT wHlli Ck. UiiUb LliV UMAVV ff __ sphere of usefalness as a preacher. I am aware that* some people seem to think that a preacher ought not to hold any public office. But I do not think if I should hold the position of superj intecdent of education that I would I be going into politics, as it would be ray business to execute and not to make laws. Having had considerable experience as a teacher and having been actively and continuouslv engaged in preaching for some fifteenv ? 1 Itt years, spending me uaic auvui In four counties of the State, namely, Spartanburg, Union, Greenville and Fairfield, and mingling -with the people both in town and country, it would seem that my observation and experience oughj to be worth something in the discbarge of the duties of this very responsible trust. Let me say also that I have not the remotest idea ot relinquishing in the slightest degree my work as a minister, should I get the office. I magnify my calling as a preacher and expect to follow it as long as the Lord gives me work in His vineyard of soul saving. 1 T ArAnr* 15Ut tile WUl'K >VUIUJJ A aixi uuiug ah the county is of such a nature that I can act as superintendent of education and continue to supply ray churches The churches are wnk and can only afford to engag* u>i preaching one* or twice p^r li;outh. and should I live in Wiitnsouro, as I hope to do, i would be in easy reach of them from my home, any Sunday inorumg. Then, too, as a matter of finance the office presents to me at this time no mean consideration as I have a terge family, fenr of whom are of proper age to be in school. The oldest, a daughter, ought to be in school of high grade, but the small salary which I get from aiy churches is intr\ onoWn mo tn inr.nr t.hfi auuijuaiu iv v.uw^iw ? additional expense of sending her off to school. These and other considerations from a financial standpoint lead me to wish the offi :e. The other candidates for this office , are all nice gentlemen so far as I know. I am not personally acquainted with any of them except the present incumbent. He seem3 to have done well with the office, in some respects at least, but X presume that he bas , done no more than was his doty. For it was his duty to do anythiog and /tnnM tr\ woL"c* imnrnvp cvjiy iiiiug ug wuiu w w - ~ ments in the work of his office. He had thu office four years and perhaps a change would not be hurtful. 1 write thus fully of the ma ter as 1 may not be able to make any very extended canvass of the county. Indeed I am well known in m'.si ?>f I hi county, and if the p^opls think favorab'.v of my candidacy and givi mc their support I shall greatly appreciate j their kinduiPS. j If circnoistances will porinit I v:i\ atiend the campus ufrr-cnt.but it may not he pos.-ime for me u , do so. In anv evenr. J ail! cheerful]) abide the will of the m jority of lh< 1 voters of the county. : Very respectfullv, Ii: K. Ezell. P. S.?There is a rumor afloat tba Rev. J. P. Isenhower withdrew free Ml I - - M m ??a the race in my favor. I wish to say j that he never*mentioned the matter of his candidacy to me until after he was J announced and then had withdrawn. Neither did I mention to him my purpose to run until after my announcement had gone to the press. There is C thereiore no connection between his withdrawal and my announcement. T i1r? vinr lrnr>w whv hp withdrew. Bro. Isenhower is popular aurt deservedly so; but I am askiDg the suffrage of the peeple for my own sake and not for anybody elses sake, and J am very <rrateful for the encouragemen! that I am receiving. n. k. e.
