Tress" that it .surpasses all other Presses
in these particulars, viz; Simplicity,
durability, ..rapidly of oporation,
and power of pressure; and. tho inveutor
claims the following advanta:&9:
- t i
1st, The joint is in the middle of
the lever, by which means the .pres rore
on a Pin, as in other Presses, ib
obviated. . . j
2d. Tho Press lies upon its side,

3d. Thejnost simple in construction,
most rapid in operation, and
-moAt powerful, with least liability to
get orit of order.
4th. In addition to the above, it is
the cheapest Press that has been offered
to the public. Wo Icarn that a
Patent has been applied for, and the :
plans have been accepted,
'' A fall size Press is in successful op ration
at Mr. li. Smiths, four miles
below Donaldsville. We were pleased
with the model of this Press, and
have no doubt of its superiority. For

Visitors.?We are pleased to notice
a number of visitors from, otber
Districts at our Fair this week. So mo J
of whom aro bore as competitors, in ,
.generous rivalry with our own people
for the handsome silver premiums
which our Society is distributing. J
Thin wo Are cflad to see, whether they '
come aft competitors or visitors, and ,
oor citizens extend to them the full i
cordiality of a warm-hearted pdople.
Those visits do us good, and we trust '

would amply repay us for tho invest- q

and Bhort lived. I... havo had ],
occasion during the past summer to t
correspond with as many as fifty Secretaries
of Agricultural, Mechanical, c
Horticultural, and Pomological Socie- t
tics throughout tho United States, ?
and almost iu every instance where c
tho Society was flourishing and self- a
sustaining it was a joint stock coin- n
pany. Shares varied from $10 to $100 t
each in value. In somo eases stock- r
holdors wore allowed tho privileges [
of tho Society froo of charge, and t
hcnco no dividends were declared T
In othof cases stockholders were re- c
quired to pay as othor exhibitors or r
dailv visitors. and consequently divi- ]
V
dends wore annually, issued often r
amountitogto 30 per ccnt. upon tl*c *
investment. Frequently ladios and. t
minors'wero stockholders, and no bet- j
ter collaterals were domaaded in t

All over tho South agricultural and i
mechanical societies havo sprung up B
since the war, and those that have 1
orgauized as joint" stock companies t
know no such word as failure. In
tho Iwrtbcrn States they have not n
only become solf-suBtaiuing, but in p
many Slates possess large real estate o
investments. In tho State of Massn- h
chusetts tho aggregato permanent in- t
vestment of "the Stato Agricultural i
Society," and 29 County Societies ex- A
cceds $350,000. The Agricultural l<
Society of the -State of Rhode Inland a
has an invested fund of $20,000. And I
BOj my fellow-citizens, might wo have t
a very handsome property, if we dis- t
played but half tho energy in build- c

uorance and brute force have not only
controlled the labor, ~ but have
managed our farms, and yeiir by year
we have drifted into tho bogs of povarty
-until, to-day, cwished by tli?
inoufcos^of dtobt^tho* Wholo countryis

ie source of all onr troub{oa ] thp
;ecy kio^ of oqr jSlavanuahs has been
ied and cpovipted of the crime of
ipovcrishing as, aid never once
ivo yon or 1 charged upon ourselves
ie capability of being the architects
* our own destruction. The science
r agriculture, that most enabling o!
I vocations, has - been by us treated
j a farce. Copartnerships have been
irmcd between intelligence and cap:il
on tho one hand, and ignorance j
II the other, and eousequcnt failure
us been the result. Becauso muscle
in hold the plow or drag the hoe wo
avc believed it could practice the art
nd appreciate tho science of agriculjre.
And as an incpntire to this end
n Interest in the crops is generally
i . -i i-i- - r\ :
llowca to stimulate mo lauorcr. bleated
of contingent eireumstanccs
bis may possibly have been a pruent
economy;'but unfortunately our
^partners have had nothing to comlepd
them but muscle. Although doile
generally tractable they are negated
by the prejudices of race, and
ave so often been misled find deceivd
by the wretchcs of our own color,
hat oftener than otherwise in plauation
economy their likes have boon
ur dislikes, and their ways not our
i-ays.
Moreover, fellow-citizens, a copartership
to work tho crop ignores
very other requirement of tho planation.
Have you no fences to' build,
titchcs to dig, lands to drain, stock
o raise, buildings to crcct, nor premsc8
to preserve? Can all these
hings bo done by the ordinary farm
nbor if the laborer rcccivcR a portion
f the crop as his annual stipend?
iomc men presume to answer this
[ucstion.affirmatively: but that it is
;eocrally impracticable look at the
niversal aspect of the country, Go
rith me a circuit of a day's journey
hrough onr own county, and at
Imost every settlement dilapidation
leets us as tho most prominent fcaure.
Think you this would bo thy
asc if labor were purchased like and
thcr commodity, and paid for accordtig
to quality* ? Purchased labor
rhen not profitable in the crop can
o otherwise advantageously handled
nd thereby loss prevented if gain be
iot received. Now-a-days neatly irairovod
premises and well built fencesrill
insure a readier sale for thin
and than fertility of soil for a planation
unimproved.
But there is another cause, fellowitizens,
for our ill success. During
ho lato war no officers were more
ensured than thoso who managed
>ur subsistence department. Man
,nd beast suffered tortures for their
.Ueged incapacity, and every private
hought ho would make a better comaissary,
or qnartcrmastcr than the
>cst of those in office. And yet when
hrown npon our own resources how

nach less ft rcgimont or a brigade?
Cnowing tho wants of homo we have
icgleetcd thom to supply foreign dcnande.
Wo havo. stiuted our families*
o'enrich the sj>in&tors of other lands.
Sitter experience teach;;s us starvaion
will bo tho result of adhering
,o such a policy. If tho conflict boj
letween cotton and bread-stuffs wc
mist sacrifice profit for subsistence.
2very planter should, however, stud}'
ho productive capacity of his own
oil. -If .the culture of cotton, be the i
nost profitable, then plant it; if corn
ays better, plant it; but above all
ur prime aim should be to feed at
ome( and lrom our own soil. That
his can be done wo have only recall
wenty years ago when corn sold in
ibbcviHe at 75 cts per bushel ana
is?, and our population was then
Imost identically what it is to-day.
Jut that 6ueh a policy is not advoeacd
b}' the planters of Abbeville at
his present time, the condition of the
ountrj* most satisfactorily attests.
For j'onr reflection, feUow-citizcns,
respectfully submit a few statistical
nets gathered from the books of the
gents at the various depots of the
r. & C. li. I?? in the county of Abbcille.
Of the receipts "a1 .Ninety Six

iresuming that-the remaining two-l
hirds have gone to Edgefield and

nportod into Abbeville county by

The nggieg-itc amount paid lor three peiishbl?
