The Fair of the State A grIcultural and
Mechantool tociot.y--A Sialontitd lhowlng
of Exhibits andi Patrons--The Best Fair
Since the Surrender.
The Annual Fair of the State Agricul
tural and Mechanical Society corn:e cnc ed
in Columbia on Tuesday the 8th inst., con
tinuing four days. From the )aily Record
of that city is taken the following account
of what was lone and what was there to
he seen:
First Day.
Many persons were disappointed this
morning when the rain-drops began to pat
ter lown, and it was very generally thought
that the shower would continue durin the
(lay. But not so. The ralin held U;) and
the weather was just the pr"oper tectpera
ture.
The Fair was vcll attended today, ald
everything on the grounds wears a gay 11a(
lively appcarance. The beauty and itlelli
gence of the State are pretty well r-pr
sentedl. though the crowd has by no neans
reached the tlood-tide. The hotels and
boarding-houses are rapidly filling up. It
is not South Carolina alone that lats gtll
ered 'her beauty and ha r chivalry' here,
but several other States have contrillted
their quotas to swell the tide of hum::nity
that is now crowding the Fair grounds and
sweeping through our streets. 'l'his is
always a
OALA w1'K IN (OI.t'\ilA
and her citizens ttsd+tlly give themselvts iap
to the social and bp%sincess (l('mands ot the
OCCasionl F iencds wIho have n it met since
the last Fair meet now, and the SiCaIl ti's
between the various sections of the 'ate
are renewed and strengthencd. Sad cheats
are made gl.ad, and answering smiles light
many a face on which the cloud of rare
andui sorrov has set for llny at du 1ak anti
gloomy day.

the presi(ency the outstanding dejt of

It was his purpose to give in briei
and without comment, the history of ngri
cultural societies in South Caroliua from
1785 to the present time. On the 9th of
August, 1785, twenty-four citizens of
Charleston met at the City Hall in
Charleston for the purposo of forming
a society in this State to encourage the,
pursuit of afariculture. This soeiety
continued its operations and held suc
cessful faire until in 1861, whon the war
closed its operations. On the 28th of
April, 1869, the Agricultural Conven
tion of South Carolina met in Columbia
in Carolina Hall. 'wenty tivo couuties
were represented. The Agricultural and
Mechanical Sooiety of South Carolina
was formed mulder the con.titution
adepted. Thus the present society was
oianized and the present State lair
lirst provi(ed for. The iirst Fair was
held in 18I9, 18 yeara) Igo. 'The nociety
las conduiei(d its operations since under
tle p1rsitlt "cy Suie('msivly of Messrs. i
11tgood, Voodwar], 'aylor, Cray ton
and )uncan.
As to the ctm parat.ive :trenlgth of the
first Fair, in 189, and the last, in I88G,
he had mueh fav'raiho cominent. At

('niceAo, November 11-1.40 P. M.
The execution of the condemned Anarch
i ts, A. G. Parsons, August Spies, Adolph
l''ischer and George Engel took place at 12
o'clock today.
At 10 o'clock the procession was formed,
with Sheriff Matson and jail-r Felz at its
head. The condemned men received the
sunnions to prepare for the gallows, with
I erfeet conposure and self-possession.
'There was no perceptible fear or faltsring.
Arrived at the gallows, each mounted the
Platfornt with firm an<d even step.
A<ddressing the spectators, each protested
his innocence, and his firm faith in the eon
vittios for which he was about to lay
liuwn his lift. 'Tlie last utterance of each
was a protestatio n of innoceIie. Fischer
leclured, just before the black cap was
d rawn over his head, Ihat this was the hap
jiust ilioiIit of his life.
'Ihere was no excitemuent ani no indica
tion whatever of outbreak or even of noisy
protcst. The Jill stiluare was surrounded
by arniedl Police, anti every precaution was
taken to keep the peace and to carry out
