Tie Press stud Banner. , Fairs State and Comity?Their Advantages?Our Duty with Regard to them. 5 I As tho Fair season is now upon us - with its attractive exhibitions of the best fruits of bounteous Autumn, and 4 tho varied products of mechanical skill, and domestic handicraft, it may 1 not be inappropriate to consider for a moment tho benefits resulting from j. these aiinual expositions, and the Claims which they urge upon our active Bj*mpathy and earnest support. Bui first let us enumerate some of these Fairs which press more iinmc diatciy upon our aueuuun. First in tho order of timo is the great Fair at Atlanta, which comes off on next Wednesday, the 19th inst., and which continuing some eight or ten days, promises with its prize list of over thirty thousand dollars, and its varied attractions to form a new era in the history of the Empire Stato of the South, and to givo a now impetus to the enterprise of tho "Gate City." On Tuesday of tho following week, opens the Augusta Fair, scarcely second in magnitude, and as being nearer home, appealing more strongly to the sympathies and patronage of our people. On Tuesday of the next week, being the 1st day of November, begin both the Institute Fair in Charleston and our own District Fair. We regret the necessity which forces us to choose between rival attractions, but here as elsewhere its law is controlling. In tho week following, being the second Week of November, comes off our own State Fair in Columbia, and closing tho long and attractive programme. Our readers surely need no argument to convince them of the benefits resulting from theso r.nuual exhibitions, and need anareelv to bo reminded of the rea Sods which may bo urged in their behalf. Association is the Icvcr-powcr which is now moving tho world, and in these Annual Fairs we have association in its fullest exercise, and applied to the advancements of objects which concern most nearly tho best interests of our race, and quickening into life every element of material and social nrofrress. Thev brincr together the t o V w w most progressive minds of the country, and place upon exhibition for the instruction and admiration of all, the latest triumphs of science and of art, They thus stimulate enquiry, excite competition, suggest improvements, and diffuse practical knowledge.? They thus strike a deathblow at Old Fogyism, exposo cherished fallacies, land extend even*where the spirit of 'modern improvement. In addition to i all this, they promote general acquaintanceship, friendship and har- . mony between plauters and manufacturers?the union of common proposes and concertcd effort?. They overcome local jealousies and sectional prejudices, and extend everywhere the fruits of enlarged intercourse, and liberal feeling. They combine equally the attractions of profit and of pleasure, and contribute alike to our instruction and amusement?schools of practical skill to the men of business, and gay rendezvous of fashion to the pleasure loving. Such are some of the benefits; but they present claims upon our support equally patent. If our Fairs confcr blessings, they equally impose duties?if they enure to the public good they present equally strong claims upon the public sympathy and support. They involve the expenditure of money, and hence make demands upon our purses?they are designed to present an attractive exposition of all industries, and call upon each and all of us for our contributions. Let each one bring the subject home to himself. Take the Abbeville Fair for an example. Is it to benefit the District?is it to contribute to the profit and pleasure of our people, and will not each one of our citizens contribute his mite to ensure its6uccess? The Executive Committna m<iHn A-vnr>nHitnr<?H and in-i curred liabilities,?will not the good people of the District come to their aid ? Is there a man or woman in tho District who will refuse his or her contribution of two dollars, when the 1 Committee have pledged their fifties f and their hundreds ? Surely not. It . is a mere pittance from each, but in . the aggregate will swell the all poi tent sum, which shall minister so lurcolv to the rmblic crood. J O'-J ? o But wo want besides your presence 5 and your contributions. Every farm^ er in the District should hold himself * bound to contribute a bushel of corn, a peck of potatoes, a bunch of grapes, j a squash, a melon or a beet?a coop _ of fowls, a likely calf, a superior cow ?either or all. Every skillful house) wife should resolve to furnish a loaf of bread, a can of baiter, a jar 01 pickles or preserves?a pair of socks, a nicely embroidered quilt, or some other of the varied products of domestic industry, and skillful handicraft. If you have any or all of these articles at home bring th'em on. Do not come and complain of the meagerness * of the Exhibition, unless you have done something to insure its succcss ^ It will be a success, if you will but do your duty, and is there any reason to doubt it? Hero duty and plcasuro as usual are in unison?wo minister at the same time to our best interests land highest gratification. Lot thero be?? . _ display on tho occasion. Let every one who has anything to exhibit, brinsr it. If not, come at least to swell O ' the crowds of spectators. You thus furnish something to one of tho most attractive features of tho Exhibition. ?"O O The Low Price ef Cotton?Tlie Duty of the Planter. Tho decline in tho price of cotton is exerting a depressing influence upon the industry of the South. The prominent and immediato cause of this decline, as generally assigned, is Tl _ TV fTL!. tnc r ranco-rrussian war. xnia wm has been fatal to all continental industry and especially to commerce. France the chief competitor of Great Britain has withdrawn from tho cotton market and her stocks have been rapidly transferred, to swell and depress the great market of Liverpool. The hopes of a Rpeedy termination of the war have so far proved fruitless, land so many circumstances have arisen to complicate t he question, that it is idle to ppeculato as to results. Bazaine himself adheres to tho Empire, and the questions of imperialism and republicanism may aa well divide Germany as France and indefinitely protract the issue. But whether the -war continues long or short the duty of the planter is clear in ono particular?to get out of debt as soon as ha can, and to avoid it so far as practicable in the future? to discharge old obligations, and to avoid contracting new ones. To do the last he must raise his own supplies and thus diminish his expenditures. He must raise his corn, his bacon and his flour, and cultivate cotton only as a surplus crop. His expenditures will thus be reduced to a minimum, and the price of the great staple be doubled. Living will be made cheap, population will increase, labor become abundant, and the farmer he the most independent of men We may 6eo an example of this independence and thrift in every community now, when farmers of good judgment have resisted tho prevailing cotton infatuation, and have pursued for long years the true and sure policy of raising their own supplies. If the present low price of cotton shall tcach this lesson to the South, it may prove a blessing in diBguise. By pursuiug.the policy above recommended, wo may avoid debt in future, with its ruinous rates of interest. But the past is irrevocable. If n r?/\ <VA O mticf TV U iift> c uviiti avv\/U mvuv.j i> v uiuuv discbarge theiu, and we have no right to hold our cotton to the prejudice of our obligations. Gur creditor has tho 6r6t claim upon it. It is his, not ours. And fortunate is that man who has the means to pay, even at a sacrifice. The roan, on the contrary, who is unable to meet his obligations from unforeseen contingences is to be pitied, bat the man who contracts a debt which he knows that lie will never p&y, is no better than a felon?he might as well put his hand int-o another's pocket and steal his purse. Those who are out of debt may hold their cotton?and we believe it 4 1\A 4 /\ A ?*f\ Kll 4- ? AM A tu UU UUC W WV T3KJ UUU U VUV others have the right. And who are the men in our District, we ask, who are out of debt? They are the email farmers, who have been raising their provisions for years. We commend their example to tho imitation of our people. Death of General Robert E. Loe. TUa 4 n]s\rmam a ar?n AllnPP.
