Tiie Press and Bannei." Wednesday, Nov. 5,1879. ie The Abbeville County Fair. !a The Eleventh Annual Fair of Ihe Abbo-' t villo Agricultural Society was held at the' Fair Grounds last week on Wednesday,! . Thursday and Friday, 2'Jth, 30th and Hist! n!t. Kver since 1-Sii9 when the lirst of the post-bellum series of Fairs was held here, our County has maintained a deep inter- ! i-st in the success of her Agricultural ;>><-!! cietv, worthy of the high position s'he occopies among the farming counties of the .State. That the Society has beenjs *?-11 i i?.. 1...M 1"" Kept nil vu IU nil ill 111 annual X awg nvr. . during the last four or live years may!4, well be wondered at when one considers; the revolutionary turmoil through which ' we have' passed. The directors of the ' Society and the farmers and housewives) of Abbeville should congratulate them-'* selves on their energy and success. It was not a dill!cult matter for several years;" alter the Society was founded tohavcajs great Annual Fair. Cotton was at a high j * price, money was plentiful and our pco-; * pie showed an alacrity in spending it. i ' There was not, moreover, any other op- j' portunity given our citizens of meeting |c together during those years of dark radi- ^ cul domination,?no great political mass! meetings at a time when the white people'3 v?,i ,,,v wNui-o in n.clitics, llclieft tliel"' o ... t j.j Crowds that Come 111 Thousands to the Abbeville Fairs in those daws glad ?r to meet together, see each other's lacesi( und vie with each other in exhibiting the|s products of the farm, the garden and the 1 j, pantry,?for the peaceful pursuits of ag- s riculture and domestic economy were 11 the only lines then open for the outer-j j prise of our people. Those were the I, days when the treasury of the Agricul-11 tural Society was full to overflowing, L when even dividends were paid on the ic ?tock, when the Abbeville Fair was thej^ greatest County Fair in the State? was L equal, indeed, in some respects superior 11 to the State Fair. L With the first beginnings of the politi- , oal revolution that culminated in 1S7?J the j struggles of the Society Xegan. As the I c public interest in politics grew hotterj(; and higher the interest 111 mo ruu-j. waxed weaker and colder, until I j It sometimes seemed a hopeless task to keep the Society in being. So much of the precious time of our farmers was necessarily given to at-1 tendance at political gatherings ? Higj Tuesdays and Hampton Meetings, not to 0 spenk of the frequent meetings of town-j( ship clubs and County Conventions,?it!f was not to be wondered at that they found ! * little or no time to prepare l'or a County c Fair or go to it when it was held. They ' had to work, had to raise cotton, corn r and red oats, but they were working just p to keep the pot a-boiling. They hudj^ "held crops" but not for "exhibition;"' e thev required all their red oats for the J' faithful horses whose share tn the hard j1 work of the great campaigu was so great, j 1 The notable housewives of the County |' were not idle either; their nimble tin-jv gers w. re busied with needle-work andja em broidery-and in cooking as well. IJut j thoir needle-work was not expendedouj* "patch, needle, and crochet work,1' or on j "wax, hair, and shell work," for exliibi- j tion at the Fair, but on the historic lied- j v Bhirts and the banners of the mounted i clubs. And their cooking and preserv- \ ing were not then meant to swell "House- s hold Department A," or "11," or "C'at t the County Fair, but to lill the wallets of i [ the Red-shirt Men as they trooped in! I thousands to the great mass-meetings, j For two or three years, therefore, tlie j *; fortunes of the Abbeville Agricultural! 1 Society were on the wane, and the Conn- J r A..

UUb ou^uogiun WVU ?w. . ? indomitable energy and perseverance of the then directors, tiie Society would i * have ceased to exist, and its Annual Fair would have been a thing of the historic past. With commendable pluck and J spirit they bore up against all discourage-1 ment, and determined to save the Society ] from failure. Besides, the Society they represented was burdened with a considerable debt, and liko honorablo men they made up their minds to free it from this incubus and stigma before they should desert it. Their success in this laudable endeavour is at last assured. The for-1 tunes of the Society are again in the as- j cendunt; the Fair held hu-st week was al-, mnvf. ivnrtliu fif tlif! Socifitv's TKllllliest! daya. The debt will soon bo paid oil', and | next year the Abbeville Fair wilt bo as it j used to be in former days the grandest |v County Fair in the State of South Caro-) lina. J? This Year's Fair lc' was a great success. On the first day of n the Fair?last Wednesday?there werett not many spectators on the Fair Grounds, I e and most of those who were there at- j v tended for the purpose of enterim* stock | a or specimens of field crops or otli?*r arti-; j. cles for exhibition and competition. The j j weather was beautiful?the perfection of) ^ Autumn weather, and the very best that I j, the Indian Summer can furnish. \Veis need not icmind our readers that theip Press and Banner predicted three wrecks a ago that our Annual Fair would be bless-j ed with splendid weather,?vouchsafed 1 r the information, indeed, that special ar-jv rangements had been made in advance jj, with "Old Probabilities" to furnish good j 0 weather for the Fair. The good weather ] M had only one drawback ? it tempted;,, many ot our industrious farmers to stay | nt home in the cotton field and in sowing) the next crop of oats, thus making the j ^ crowu in nuenuunce ai ino fair smaller j" bv their absence. A ramble through the i v exhibition rooms and around the cattle n and stock puns on Wednesday convinccd j ' us that the Abbeville Fair for 1879 wasj-v bound to be a good one. The Horses and Cattle on exhibition were numerous and vcryir fine .specimens. Wo have attended a a good aianv fairs in this Slate and else- j p where, and we have always discovered |_ that for tine horses old Abbeville is ahead 0 of all other counties. At other lairs they!., may have more horse-races and more! j, racing stock, but Abbeville always has;j, been and still is ahead of other counties j in lier exhibition of horse-flesh. The * saddle and harness horses entered this. t year were beauties. Numerous entries j. were also made in the department of j Cattle, Sheep aud Swine, ! most of which were very fine specimens.' (] It is to be hoped that in future years this j ? department of the Fair will become more j i and more popular. There is no better; (] index of the prosperity of an agricultural1 i; community than is fforded by the spec-: ii taclo at their annual Fairs of line bfllls e and cows, sheep, swine and goats. And ] v now that the Fence Law is in operation L wo confidently expect to seo year after! r: year greater and greater interest taken in , t! the improvement of cattle. * jp The Poultry on exhibition included some fine game Ll and domestic fowls. Thero was a huge ^ cock, whether a Shanghai or a Cochin- i China we know not, which attracted I great attention; and a pair of game ban- xv tarns were as pretty a couple as we ever saw. Judging from the small number of a game chickens on exhibition wo should tc HnppoKe thaicoek-flghting is not a very P; popular amusement in Abbeville CouuV'ty L The Mechanical Department , K was well filled with "manufactures in p Wrt/vl fin onrl i i-r?n*1 ? frv ncn fT-><? iv<\n!a : t'le premium list. There was a fine show o: . o;' stylish vehicles, some of Abbeville make, and some .notof South Carolina rj v lnako: and a great deal of interest was w i - hown in several ingenious patents, tliej iventionsof some of our own citizens.; it no former Fair have wo seen a liner xhibition of Field Crops, nd great praise is duo the intelligent farmers of Abbeville County for the fact: .'liich the various and excellent speci-! nens made manifest?nautelv, that ouri * irmers and planters are not coniimngj hem.selves to one or two crops, but arej o a much greater extent than formerly { >lauting a variety of crops. Is'o d >ui>t it, sstill true of Southern crops that Cotton j s King, but it is also true that his throne | s not now in youth Carolina. He has I uow d his metropolis from the Atlantic j iouthern States to the .'South west, and tiioj apital of King Cotton may now be found j (i Texas. Now that the plains of the) /me Star State produce tlieir million nd a half bates of t!io lleecy staple,? I ne-fourth of the whole annual crop?j iouth Carolina must uwake to tl>3 fact! nd act upon it that she is now only one f t!ie outlying provinces in the wideproail domain of the Great Kin;??the i s'ebuchadnezzarof the Southern States.! Cebuchaduezzar himself according to Iol.y Writ was once sent to grass, and, | wording to the same hij;h authority, the i hangc in diet worked mightily l'or his ;ood ; and the farmers of South Carolina | rill show themselves wiso wheu they a> , body turn their cotton-tieids now and gain into hay crops and wheat and oats. t'he farmers of Abbeville County not on-! y believe in this doctrine of variety and | otation of crops but they "practice it in I heir lives," as the Shorter Catechism ' ays. As a consequence, the year of ;race one thousand eight hundred and i eventy-nmc lintfsour agricultural popu- ! ation more independent than they have )con for many years. Some say there is noro money in the country; we hojic his is true; but ono thing we do know? iur farmers are this year more independmt, have more good feed lor man and >ca?t, than in former yearn. The farmer lion 1(1 l>o the most independent m:in tli.it j >reathes the breath of life, and ho can bo I o only by taking out of the ground as J nuch of the necessaries of life as tie | leeds. If ho will only rear oats, wheat, orn and bacon enough for his needs, and labblo in cotton as a luxury and a superluity, he will be as he can easily be like j ^ongfellow's Village Blacksmith, who J Looked the whole worl.f in thcface For lie owed not any mau. Tho numerous and beautiful Specimens of Flour, in exhibition,?flour ground in Abbeville ounty?afforded one of the most satisactory and wholesome signs at tho Fair. >110 of our intelligent Abbeville merhants recently assured us ? and we hanked him and took courage?that the uitive flour of Abbeville County was this 'earso abundant, so good and so cheap, hat hecould very rarely sell any importd flour. He said, and very truly, that here was scarcely any use in bringing lour from tho West or Northwest when he Hour barrels of almost all the far-1 iters In Abbeville County were filled yith Hour as good as, if not better than ,11 y he could buy in St. Louis. We could linger over this department onger, but we must pass on to the Household Department. Sub-division "A" in this department vas very well tilled up with choice specmens, There was a specimen of tallow vhich looked so like an iced cake that everal ladies of our acquaintance bought it had strayed into tha wrong )Iace, and should have been on exhibitition in subdivision "C." Subdivision "B" had not nearly asi jood an exhibition this your as it usually ias, owing, of course, to the utter failure )f the fruit crop. Still tliera was a very jooj display. Subdivision "C" contained a full show >f cakes, breads and candies, and the jommittee in this department were much mi vied about lunch time. The Wine Committee, >neof whom we were which, organized hem selves for work on Thursday before ve arrived on the Fair Grounds, did all heir testing and tasting, made their iwards before we appeared in the flesh. nidistitiiMnn- ourselves a Supreme ?ourt lor hearing appeals against their j lecisions, we weiso enabled to taste and I ry several very line specimens of the nice of the grape, of the blackberry, he elderberry, apple, and tomato. THURSDAY vas a big day. The Fair Grounds were rowded early in the forenoon with vissit>rs from all parts of the county. Early n the morning they came in buggies, arriages, wagons, on horseback and on | nuleback, and by the cars?for, thanks! o the wide-awake railroad authorities, xcursion trains were run to tho Abbeiile Fair. The Fair Grounds presented gay and animated appearance. The idies' stand was thronged v#th the la ies, marricu ana single, an ymmg, ?u( irettv, all pleasing and all pleased. The, inhibition Rooms were crowded with pectators who seemed to enjoy the dislav of articles on exhibition. The men j nd boys crowded around the show-ring > see tlie various entries of horses. The nuiantic rockery was peopled with oung folks who?why, we cannot tell? 11 sat in couples. Around the race-track ver and anon ran a fast trotting-horse r a graceful raceV, while over all the lusic of the Abbeville Hand oated sweetly and spiritedly. We canot heljJ thanking the young gentlemen > ho compose the Baud for the excellent i insic they gave our people at the Fair. I V'e sincerely hopcythat at our Fair nextl ear arrangements will have been made >r a grand Band Competition. Abbeille County has several first cla*s Bands esides the Band at the Court House?at >u? West, Greenwood and Ninety-Six? nd not only these but others would comete, especially those in the up-country -Anderson. Greenville, Newberry and thers, A Band Competition would j 'rove a great attraction to the Fair, j irizes worthy of their striving tor could j ie made up, and our people would have most enjoyable feast of music. It had been advertised and on good au- j liority that General Wade Hampton and General M. C. Butler vould be on the Fair Grounds on Thurslay, and many who had not much interest in the agricultural i'catuics of the "air had come great distadces to hear our listin^uislied Senators. Many doubted f the Fair Directors could be successfull n securing the presence of two so great | lephants; but the publication in last j eck's Press and Banner of General! [anipton's letter to Colonel J. S. C'othu>, je-assured the people, who know rat Hampton is a man who keeps his romise. The arrangement to bring | encral Butler had not been successful, ut everybody expected the hero of '70. [e did not come. In the afternoon, owever, A Telegram as received hy Colonel Cothran. which | e> rea<i from tho stand. It hailed from astonia. North Carolina, and stated that1 en. Hampton been there in good time j ? eaten the Air Line train, but it had I iu<s('d him and left him. He would be;, i Abbeville next day. |( FRIDAY tmc and brought with it beautiful; J outlier and crowds of people to the j, ?ir. At eleven o'clock the extra morn-1 tHtrain came in and brought with it the' ratrr of the day, Gen. Wade Hampton, ij i a short while he was driven to thoj< ronnds, and on hi* .appearance in tlieji ng, tho crowd raised a joyous shout if hieh reminded aomo of u? of the "rebel I c ' % 1MB II l?BE???3?Mm???? yell," and others of us of tlio Seventy-' T1 Six Shout. Colonel Cothran, us President of the Society, introduced ex-ii.?vcrnor Hampton in his usual felicitous] manner, liising amid a storm of cheers, if he came to the lrout. and said in etl'ect as follows:? i ro That it had bpen part of the agreement] st fl>.? that hr> should not' m bj called upon to say anything, and that I ^ gentleman hid violated his promise iuj that particular. It would however bejc" ungrateful in him not to acknowledge the; pt greeting hi- had received from the people j of Ahlniville, and thank them l'or and j . tkll them that lie had not forgotten all I*1 that they had done for him. lie could j -IS not forget how gloriously they had stood | w by the strong platform of conservatism J that carried tho State in and with! what devotion they had adhered to it in j all the troublous times that had passed so. to roughly since then. In all Soutu Caro-Lj, lina no people hud lieen truer to their L. cause th:in those of Abbeville County. A When luJ was stricken down, among the G daily messages of condolence and svm- j vi patliy that reached him, none were more cordial or frequent than those from j Abbeville, lie had trit forgotten these tilings and that was why he had come, j si lie had come to look them in the face and ; thank them, and tell them that while all j. that life had and all enjoyment it promised had been marred for him, he hoped, W for the sake of the people who had so \\ nobly stood by him, that his usefulness a, was not destroyed. He had still strength left to work in their cause. While his w heart throbbed, all that he could do, s:i could work for, hope for or pray for, w would bo given to tho people of South Carolina. [Cheers.] He would say that upon them?upon rs the South, and S >uth Carolina particular- 01 * r i Iv?dcpendei imii'ii oi mei name. n they would show that thoy were noting iu honestgood I'aitlj, and regarded their w pledges as sacredly as in 187f>, they would n oe as strong and far stronger than then. n. By standing honestly by their pledges, and the Constitution, they cofild stop the cry now being raised of a 'Solid South." b Thoso who hearkened to that cry forgot tl that the South was not solid against the q North, hut solid for the Constitution, home rule and good government. Cheers.] Here they were solid for South M Carolina. The South was not antogonis- j m tie to the North. It would lie as just to j 0 cry out against a solid and antagonistic! New England because that part of tliu " country was given over to Republican- b ism and the other isms. The South was j not solid against the North or against the j Constitution, but she was solid for her interests and hercivilization. Ifthepeo- el pie of the South should show that they did not desire to encroach upon the rights of any; ,if they would show that they were acting iu strict good faith; if they would show that, having fought as long j( and as bravely as thoy could, believing), th.jv wore right, and being defeated, sur- j " renderel in gvrl faith and came back tl 1'nithfnl I v, intending to bo good citizen* Lj o:' the United St ite<; if they would show i i hat they had not and would not violate a j -ingle one of the terms of their parole? U' ir thuv wniiM do tha\ not bein< boot- j T iokiiiiT or subsorviont, but with si manly lit aiknowledgment that Hie \va ?er of but- . tie had baen agiinst them, am! they ae-j " eeoted its decision of ail indivisible ti Union and stood by the Constitution ? if th<n- would show the people of the N >rth that they were loyal to the Constitution and their pledges, then they ' would break down the bloody-shirt cry ai of a "Solid South." y Me was not discouraged by the result of the recent election in Ohio. He had 11 never expected that the Democrats tc would carry the State. When they u went back to the soft'money i?leu and ail sorts of other foolishness, ihey deserved a' to be bea'en. If they returned to theiS pure teachings and principles of the faith- j c< ers and nominated proper men, theyL. conld carry the country at the next election, oven with Grant against them. " There was one man in A tnerica in whose i n favor, if the Democrats nominated him, o the best argument thcv could use would | *? be the praises lavished on him by his en- ,c emies. That man was Torn Bayard, of r< Delaware. [Cheers.] He had been a true w friend to the South, because true to the . Constitution, and ho could beat Mr. Tilden in New York Slate. He conld carry " more of the conservative Republican a! vote than anv man who could be nomi- S) nited. He conld carry New York, and ' only twelve more electoral votes would J be needed. L'jt them nominate McD m- ri aid, of Indiana. Indiana was reail.v the on I v truly Democratic Northern Stite. . With New York, Indiana and the South, the President would be elected. He u wanted the South not to seek position or a; place ou the Presidential ticket. Sho did S( not want that. But he wanted theSouth1 <-l?l.cwr.>!ou when (lir?v went to the Cotl- n volition to say, "we as the rank and file of L the Democratic party demand that you ? take as your candidates men who will ^ carry tiio whole country and merit its . confidence." Tho Democrats of the 11 South needed to be prudent and discreet, g He would himself warn those in Con- p cress us earnestly as he could to avoid angry debate and recrimination into which their enemies would seek to entrap them. He would urge them to pass by the attacks and insults of their adversaries with the scorn and silence that would be p the most fitting answer. He would use i, all of his influence to induce them to uo on quietly and legislate for the good of all, and show themselves true to the a: country and the Constitution?attending 01 only to the business of the country and n to meet the wants of the people. * Then . they could step out and asl; American 1C citizens whether they would have for 1} President a pure and great man without g fear or*reproach, or Grant with tho record of his corrupt administrations behind ' him. Let the people of the South show " themselves honest and sincere and law- o: abiding. One indiscreet fool South could jj in a minute undo the lengthy lHior of statesmen. Only let them carry out this A advice, and show that they stood by their fi pledges, and they would elect their Pres- Ci ident. (Cheers.) He did not need to advise them as to P the relations between the races. This T County wits one of those that in 1S7G h showed that by a policy of conciliation ir and the re-establishm'eift of an identity of interests, the white man could take " the colored man with him. Tho Demo- tl crats could never carry South Carolina; a| unless they stood upo'n the same plat- j form. Tliat policy was uic true one, ami the true one because it was right. Let di every man fe-d that his rights were pro- w tooted by the law. Lot the white main jf show that lie was the colored man's friend, that their interests were identical, 55 and that one could not go down without dragging the other. Let the wnite man do that, and he would have the colored man on his side more strongly in 1880 than in 1870. [Cheers.] r Ho had been led off into saying fan L anoro than ho had intended, ile had is wanted onlj' to thank them for their wel- w come and explain that it was not his fault that he bad not been present yesterday. He had waited all night at Gastonia, and S| the train had refused to stop for him. jdi That was why he was not present. He pi had come, however, with great trouble and fatigue to '111 his engagement as far Jj, as possible, lie then concluded .and re- * tired amid renewed cheering. hi Senator Hampton held a little iin- p, promptu levee after his speech, many old campaign and army acquaintances'and friends seeking the opportunity to shake his hand. At the conclusion of Hampton's spccch ~ loud cries wore raised for "MeGowan," and "Cotliran,"' and "Aiken," while some who were not gluttonous of speeches called for the walking-match. Col. Colli* I of ran informed the crowd that the meeting! fci would now resolve itself into an Agricui-j"' tit nil Society's meeting, and he called on i"j. Col. Aiken, the president-elect of the So- b: eioty to come forward and address them, rf Col. Aiken I ^ then came to the front and delivered a to stirring address on the financial condition |?' of the Abbeville Agricultural Society. I He recounted its history, lis triumphs and its reverses, its prosperity anuitsjwj debt, and he urged all present to aid in^Ui the praiseworthy effort which was being ! niaile to tree the Society of debt, llis enthusiastic remarks were well received.! |,t At the conclusion of his address he called | th on a special committee of ten, appointed j ill the night before to raise funds to clear off]ln the debt. The committee's reports werei "|' highly satisfactory, and the Society begins ?iits new year fair and flourishing. re ti I The Walking .Hatch. ji This is a new feature in the Fair and it excited a great deal >!' interest. There j were fourteen entries, all colored. Thei winner, Joe Grant, covered about ten I miles and a quarter in the hour, and the j ?, three who tied for the second place cov- j 1 ered each ten miles.

There is o doubt if Abbeville fails to get this >ad while our more enterprising lieiyhors are building splendid iron highway*, lat we will be left high and dry at the ourt House. With a railroad it would ot bo many years before Calhoun'i [ills would lie a place of more importnee than Abbeville.

Not "Hanging Enough" to Make "Treason Forever Odious." 1 r [Zuch Chandler at JJi'ivauklc.) The one great question is, Are we or arc we not a nation ? VVe had the whiskey rebellion in Pennsylvania. It was conquered, and we said how we are a nation. South Carolina rebelled against Ihe r taiirt' laws of the country. Andrew , 3 Jackson happened to he in the Pre-idcnr tial diair, and iie was informed that South Carolina, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, had inaugurated a rebellion, f i Said Jackson: 1 "Let South Carolina commit tho first 2 overt act of treason, anil, by the Internal, < I will hang John C. Calhoun"?and ev" orybody in America, including John C. P - Calhoun, knew that he would do it, and , the overt act was not committed. Then ' we were sure wo had a government.. T 4 When the rebels sunendered at Appo- * mattox they surrendered to a gowrn meut. When they surrendered their peo- J , pie and their arms they surrendered to the government of the United States of V * America. They simply asked that their; jj si miserable lives might be spared. Wejjj gave them their lives, and told them to! I j go home and raise crops and behave j*" I themselves, and obey tho laws. They) had forfeited their property, and we re-| ? turned it to them. They forfeited their \ citizenship,and we restored it to thorn. |'f Wo killed the liitted all", and invited A ' the m to the fea-t, and t hey grandly in3 lorinod lis tl;nt?they hnd always owned s that calf and were not thankful lor it. By the laws of war and of nations th(y were' ' in right hound to pay all expenses of the ., J t war and of the nati->n. They were in nil i justice bound to pay the cost of the rebel-1 < I lion, but we forgave tnoin with a magna- ? ' niinity unknown to the nations of the earth. We made a mistake, but the greatest mistake we ever made was in not hanging enough of those rebels to make ? treason forever oriious. [Greatapplause.] ?
