TIIE STATE FAIR.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday arid
Friday of the past week were devoted to
the State Fair in Columbia. On the two
first days owing to the unfavorable
weather there was a small attendance,
but on Thursday it is estimated that
<ome three thousand persons were on
the grounds. Many of the departments
were well represented, but upon the
whole the Fair was not a success, either
in the number and variety of the articles
upon exhibition, or iu the attendn,inn
M-hifh l.-isf, can silone iruarantee
financial success. Abbeville did better
than other counties, but even she did
not do her whole duty, and her success
was achieved by a few of the public
spirited of her citizens. If the State
Fair is tosurvive, it must be better supported
by our people and 110 Legislative
tppropriation can make amends for the
want of public favor and support.

Col. II. I). Capers' Address.
We publish below a brief synopsis of
he beautiful and appropriate address of
Jol. Capers, delivered on Thursday of
Fair week, and connnend to the atten:ion
of our readers its earnest plea in
behalf of untiring lahor, and manly
self-reliance as the sole condition ol
[>rogress. We welcome back to his native
State this honored son of South
Carolina, and are sure that his cheering
words will inspire our people to rune wed
.'fl'orts in the work of recuperation and
ilcvelopment. Col. H. D. Capers, being
......I l?vr Mr. Thnin.-is Tavlor.
lllUUUUWu --- ^ ,
President of tlie ?S:ate Agricultural Society,
said in substance as follows:?
1 come to lay ray head down close to
the heart of my old mother, and hear it
beat. Progress?development?with its
changes, has been metaphysically written
of by Mr. Carlile, ami Buckle, of
England, but with it all, I cunnotsee
that the hope for the earnest, the young
ind the representative of new epochs, is
juried with ideas that were lodged in
the brain of the past. I speak to you of
the future and its hopes. These bright
jyes; these my countrywomen, bid me
oy their works do so. Father Ryan was
mistaken when, in the enthusiasm of
;he poet, and in the nielo-dramatie inspiration
of despair, lie declured that
the "people's hopes were dead."
Mrs. Lindsay, of Abbeville, with hei?
100 articles of home made industry;
Mr. Kus.->el, of Anderson, with Impractical
manifestations of agricultural earnestness;
Mr. i'o/.er, of Richland, with
ins mccnatucai iiigeiiun^, h,vc a ?ti-i
son here which is more essential that
ive as a people learn, than that we appreciate
the metaphysics of Carlile, or
Llie beautiful sentiments of Fatherj
[Ivan.
Our hope as a people is in our own in- i
Justry, our own resource of character, I
>ur own (leterminatien to recoguize the;
irovideiice of God and address ourselves i
io the present, that we may leave some ]
lope to our posterity.
Progress and development is no new'
hing with us of the South : it is noi
lew manifestation anywhere. It was
ind is, and always will be, an expres-l
ion of true manhood, the reflex of.
livinity.
Our hope as a people is based upon i
he earnest labor, the industry and fru-1
fality of a virtuous aud intelligent citi- J
lenship.
It is in recognizing the iiat of heaven, I
that in the pwftnt of his face man shall !
| eat his bread,.
South Carolina wants more of the
spirit manifested at this Fair by Abbe- (
vilie County. We want more Mrs. ,
Lindsays, more McCaslans, more Russels
and Tozcrs, more work and less
talk, more well directed labor, and less <
metaphysical repining. j
Our soil, climate and natural resources }
nil are as generous as ever. Let us be
up and doing. Let the aristocracy of 1
our .State be that of real moral worth. <
"Worth makes the man, the lack of it the 1
fellow; <
All the rest is leather or prunella."
The people's hopes will then not be *
dead, but our future will be bright, re- !
splendent, and glorious Avitli Hope s i
fullest fruition.
Centennial Accommodations.
The Sew York llcrcld, to satisfy the j
enquiries of those who are desirous of ,
being informed as to the reduced rates
of fare and the hotel accommodations
Which will be extended to visitors to the J
Philadelphia Centennial, makes the
following statement
1. The managers of the railroads
which run into Philadelphia are engag- i
ed in conferences, with a view to the i
establishment of excursion rate? of fare, <
and will probably be able to make pub- <
lie a programme, which will iuclude all
parts of the country, in time to allow I
neonle everywhere to make their prepa- i
rations. <
2. With the consent aud encourage- i
ment of the managers of leading railroads,
and of the heads of the Centeuni- i
til Commission, a company calling itself i
t the "Centennial Lodging House Agency"
is now engaged in making arrangements
with boarding house keepers and i
the occupants of private houses in Phil- I
adelphia, by which a greatdeal of house <
| room will be definitely engaged beforei
hand, at specified prices, for the accom- i
| modation of visitors ; and it is intended i
to perfect this system so far as to enable
! railroad companies in all parts of the i
country to sell to those who wish them,
<vith their railroad tickets, coupons entitling
the holders to specifier' accomo- i
dations?lodging and food?in Philadel- i
pliia at fixed rates, and for such periods
as may be desired. Agents of the com
?.:11 flwkn kr* r-vlnrtfir] nn pvoi'V ill
piUIJ ?.ll w.c. u, ,,.?x,v ?
coming train to direct the holders of
such coupons to the places where lodgings
have been engaged for them, and
by hand maps of the city and other
means to explain to strangers how most
cheaply and conveniently to reach the
Centennial grounds and see the other
remarkable and historic points of the
city. We print elsewhere some details
showing how this plan is to be carried
out.
3. It is proposed to run Exhibition
trains between New York and Philadelphia
at such times and rates as to
make a day at the Exhibition an easy
achievement for the population of New
York and its suburbs, Between Jersey
City and the Exhibition ground the
time of these trains is, we hear, not to
exceed two hours.
4. Almost every town and village
near Philadelphia is making preparations
to receive strangers, and there is reason
1 " i" -* ?? ?? !?/? nf * hnm
lO UG11CVC llUlt in a iiumuuj ui vubui
some organized eflort will be made to
make known at a distance the ntyle and
price of accomodations that can be obtained.
5. The fruit and vegetable gardeners
within fifty miles of Pliiludelphia began
already last year to make preparations
for the extraordinary demand which
they anticipate for their products in
ISTti, and the amount available in the
city will be very greatly increased over
previous years, so that prices of these
kinds of food will not probably rise.
Moreover many, of the villages yi New
Jersey where truck farming and gardening
are pursued, such as Vineland,
have hotels and houses capable of accommmodatiug
strangers at reasonable rates,
and have such frequent access to the city
as is convenient to visitors.
On the whole it is safe to assure the
thousands who desire to attend the Cen ?nninl
T<'.vhihifion from a distance, and
the greater number of whom must necessarily
be people of moderate and limited
means, that they may count upon
doing so at an expense which they wjII
be able pretty accurately to calculate beforehand,
and without being annoyed
by confusion or needless trouble.
Railroad Meeting.
At a meeting of the citizens of Anderson,
held on the 5th inst., in the
interests of the Blue Ridge Railroad,
the Committee through the Chairman,
E. B. Murray, Esq., reported a preamble
and the following resolutions:
licHOlved, That we request our Senator
and Representatives to secure the
passage of a law that Anderson County
be allowed to make subscriptions to this
enterprise not to exceed $100,000, and
the town of Anderson $25,000, to be
given to furthering and insuring the
i'imnlefiiin of fuiid road.
! dissolved, That we further request our
members of the Legislature to use their
' influence lo bring the proposed enterprise
in some practical shape before
those counties which are particularly
interested in this great through-route to
the north-west.
('apt. Jsis. A. Hoyt moved the adoption
of the report of the committee.
After considerable discussion by Maj.
Humphreys, Col. Brown, Col. Cochran,
, Col. Rucker, E. B. Murray, Esq., Maj.

looking to legislation to enable .
the town and County of Anderson to i

The following gentlemen were appointed

the discharge of their several duties. '
Correct.?The New Era says that
we haven't a correspondent whose head
s flat on top. ' .
South Carolina and the Centennial.
A correspondent of the News and ?i
Courier enters a plea against any participation
by the States in the Philadelphia ^
Centennial, on the ground that by so ^
loing she will compromise her dignity
itid independence, and tarnish her good *?
name. His conclusion is based on the X
issumption that she will be called upon
!o rejoice at the continuance of a union ^
which, at least since lfiG-5, has been the
source of numberless evils, and will thus
jive a tacit endorsement to the oppressive
policy which has prevailed since
the war.
This, however, seems to be a mistaken "1
dew of the whole matter. The Centen- J
nial is designed to commemorate the tc
jreat work of '76, in which no State bore
ii more distinguished part than South T
finrnlinm. ?nil fia miA of thft nriirioal
thirteen, she is now called upon to meet
her sisters upon a platform of cordial ai
union and perfect equality, and renew tc
and re-at!Irni those great principles of
sound government ami human liberty, I
for which our fathers pledged their I
"lives, their fortunes, and their sacred *
honor." She is called upon to make no
unworthy concession or unseemly endorsement;
to renounce nothing of her dignity
or independence; but, as a sov- ?
ereign State, the peer and equal of any, [
to bear an equal share in a grand national
celebration, which, ignoring recent
troubles and past differences, is
designed to revive those historical rec-ii??e
ti.n ,lnlra c /
Jlieuuuua ui liic t;tw jjr uajfo ui cuc ic- #
public, when South Carolina made
common cause against the common
enemy in defence of the great principles
of human liberty.
Certainly there is nothing wrong in w
such a participation, whatever may have 0|
been the estrangements and dissensions
of intervening years. Indeed, it is to
heal the wounds of the recent great
struggle, to restore amity and fraternity
between the sections, and to re-assert
the great principles for which our fatb- a(
ers bled, that the Philadelphia Centennial
is now urged upon the attention of the
whole American people, and their F
cordial co-operation is invoked. As one U
of the best means of healing these
wounds, restoring this fraternity and
re-asserting and re-establishing the principles
of Constitutional liberty, as
expounded by the sages of the Revolution,
the whole South, and South Carolina
among the other States of her sec- -r
tion, should bear their part in the great *
celebration.
We owe it to our sister States of the
North who have sympathized with uh
amid all the evils oi' reconstruction, and
who are now waiting to extend to us the
hand of good-fellowship and fraternity.
We owe it to our sister Stales of the
South, who will all be represented, and
who are entitled to the sympathy and
co-operation of South Carolina in all r<
measures which are designed, by an s<
earnest effort at conciliation, topromote A
the general good. We owe it to oui- a
selves to jeuve no measure uiunuu iu u
show our brethren of the North that lj
we cherish no-hostility to the Union of t(
our fathers, but are willing to meet them si
on the proposed basis ot' equality and ii
fraternity. o
To be absent would provoke ungenerous
comment, and be the source of endless
misconstruction on the part of those
whose policy it is to keep alive still the
smouldering fires of discord, and perpetuate
the memories of fratricidal strife.
To such she will give no countenance,
as she is bound to be represented. I
To use the words of the^jNeios and
Courier: "South Carolina will take n
part in the Centennial Exposition. \
That is certain. As much as this is re- 0
quired by her material interests, aud as
a matter of commercial luivanlage.
Rut we hope that the most ardent Carolinians
will see that fhere iano shame
or dishonor in what is ask of us and
is proposed to be done; so that South
Carolina shall do her part, not for dollars
and cents, to secure profit and avoid
loss, but because it is good for her to be there,
joined with the Stales of ihe
North and the South and the West, the
old States and the new, taking her posi- /
Moil as the equal of the proudest of *
them, and in the name of the days of
'76, demanding always that South Carolina's
work for the Union be remembered,
as well as her work aguinst the
Union, and, in the name of American
liberty, demanding the aid and sympathy
of the whole country in the effort to a
throw ofF the load of ignorance and ^
vice which weighs her down, and is the
only barrier in the way of her freedom, ?
her prosperity and her perfect peace." ^
