Hut it is not in my line. That the Fair is cthJcd, I preHiiuie will be eutcd several times in your editori.il of to morrow, and in four doxco other placws in your {taper. So it is unneces sary to locution th it fact Ii??r?. You will furthermore no doubt, dilate much on all that was exhibited at tho Fair?and dilute the relative uteri's of every thing oud of everybody. And you will tell us who got premiums and who did not? who received niedak*, who pocketed I only ''highly oomiocndable," and ''bon o i.yi-_ ;t:~-..V/?h|nh. I take.it means "try it over old tellow, see if you can't do better next time") aud you can al*o lot us know whit "the distinguished fellow oitizon" fail in his address Thin is in your line, and i have no doubt you will do it well. And you being editor and reporter combined, huvo tho best apportunity of enlightening the public Serve out tho customary gruel which every body expects, and which has been served out since the days wlicn Adam nnd Eva planted potatoes, and fruit, and made an awful fuss about it in their little triweekly, devoted to do mestic economy and dried apples. 1 havo no words to say beyond this. 1 liked the Fair, it was a right fair F.iir, %nd may be fearlcsnly prouounccd a suc cessful ajj'air throughout. You go on for details?go on ami use up your paper. I haven't strength. 1 !*a\v on exhibition, good apples, good Ayrcshirc Hull, good antics, good bread, buisouits, and butter (lookedgood), baby clothing, bees, baskets, good corn, cake, (.looked soj, coverings for single lolks of cold nights, good ploughs, gin . wines, (/ heard about the wines), goud teeth, and good other things, (can't go into details) ? -and a very intelligent jackass, ?v.o., &c. Rut the articles I noticed most worthy of premiums, were the pretty women. I may say as to that "there was a perfect freshot of loveUucss"? put that down as a quotatiou. I think however the Managers and Curumittoe meo of the Fair committed a grave error which will be appareut to all, as I go on to nay what I have to tell you. Something near a week before the Fair opened, a Pilgrim and a stranger oame prospecting around tho 'Burgh., Pros pected to tho Committee Fair. Said he was a Pilgrim and a stranger, with thirty six horses to enter for exhibition. Would they givo h:iu a small bit of he Fair Ground ou which to ride his hor ses ? Coin mit tee were afraid his blood stock would take all the prises. And there were net prises enough for those in the County. So committee said no! You eau't have this ground. Then the Pilgrim and strauger prospeeted across the street, and he met a man who ap preciated blood stuck, and sympa thised with pilgrims and strangers. Aud he feaid go and lake my gmuud and uu it build up your ? aberuucle, aud your teats, and your s:ables, and auy thiug eUe (so loeg as you dou't build a soap factory) uu 1 there ride your Uor?c* uiitil their tails drop uff. So the Pil gri?u aud strauger smiled unto hiiu.self, *aJ baid uuto himself: Truly am 1 thaukful to this man for tlti* thing which Ii? ho* dm* Aud 1 will build up uiy Tabernacle, aud pitch my te > aud build my stables. Aud 1 will I iJ uu m>ap factory eitler. * And they who oou*e into my (cut shall ute no soup? and tht-y never did use ?->tip. Aud they want in .thing to do with soap fac tories. Then the pilgrim ai>d stranger erected a pole, aud over this pole he spread a broad oluth?and this was his Tabernacle. Aud within this 1'aberua elc he harnesrittd hi* six and thirty hor te??und lhey were kleek. Aud hie chariots weirs numerous and gaudy. And hit. horses were fat aud bluoodod, and were not i?y any meane of the old crow b.iit kind. Neither limped they any?nor had they sore hacks?not one. Aud th?a the Pilgrim took iitto his Cotiiicih? a mighty Captain who is minted Jmshi Kind-all, (wb< mi his intimate friend* cull "Jim" for short), ?nd anoth er curiows. worker )h Wood whom his fmti iv calls Ben, (also for short he bar. :m< more nanie). Thea the mighty Caj tain s-pake oat in a loud mice, and wanted all who wotihl, te emi.? in and nd-f tee ?h*ek, ?v4 f?t, mid blooded horses??od to sit and ride wit hie the gaudy chariots??ni this h* did man) limes. And while tine mighty Captain said this, he the euriova w.?rktr in wood ?wbv ii called Bee fmr :k<trt, (h iving yet more rmmf), lilted up a Urge vessel of tin, and from this vessel ne ponred certain &::e oil (and two gallons was the quantity pnnrtd) into a largo cheat bound round with brawn bands, ar?d studded with brazen at ads. And when the fine oil was ?II poured ont into the ehest, the eurioits worker in wood, seised with both his hands a handle or crank which belonged to the ehest, and he turned the surne with much rapidity. And I b< hold ont of the chest there came fi rth the ?wertest of music. And the curious worker in wood continued to grind upon the crank or handle, and us he ground tho-same sweet music came forth. And tho crowd gathered together, while the I mighty Captain spake. And tho music was ground out, and they gathered inoro and more until they numbered tens of thousands. And they wero in much ecstaoy while they listened to the voice of the mighty Captain aud the sweet mu?io. Aud none?no not one of that erowd, ever used soap, nor patronized they any soap factory. Aud thereupon the crowd went into the Tabernacle of the Pilgrimsnd stran ger?and he keeping the gates of tho Tabernaclo, received from e?ch one a small coin, or a bit of piper called frac tional currency wherewith the l'ilgri m and stranger purchased provisions for his six an l thirty horses, and a! ? oil tor ins chest. And then the people entered, and each one as he came in mounted upon one of the six and thirty horses, until ouch horse had its rider. And in each chariot were soatod the women aud the children. And the riders (each wishing to show his skill) wero reckless and dar ing. They knew not the spirit of the steeds, nor w hether the steeds were bro ken aud gentle and familiar with the voice of the Pilgrim. And then when eaoh horse had its rider, and every cha riot filled with the women and children, tho mighty Captain ceased speaking, und with both hands seizod a crank which he turned with much strength and violently. And then the sleek and fat horses aud blooded moved around. Audio! there gait was murvolous : yet their gait was not replete with variety. And the .steeds with the -riders then: of went around stalking serenely, aud broke not the track once?>nor changed they their gait, (which is m ire than can bo said of the steeds at tho Snip Factory). Neither wero they frightened at any thing whatever, not even a bundle of tedder, (and this is also more than can be .-aid of some of tho stocd.s at tho Soap Factory which startod at tho article of fodder as n curiosity, far fetchod and unaccustomed to. ? ? .i ? i - r ?? f i i" ? .. ? Aud the riders ceased their fears. Aud tho .splendidly mounted masses moved around?for the horses knew the voice of tho Pilgrim and stranger, and were broken well and gentle?and while they rode and rejoined, the mudo came forth from the cheat in ono single strain, and it varied not from that one strain at any time, any more than the six and thirty horses broke from tbo tracx. Aud this caunot be said of tho music at the !? air, which waa hcid ai the Soap Fuotory ?which musio kept not to ouo tuue entirely; but continued to vary and change its tunes, and flew from one tune to uuothur us tho horses on the track varied their gait tborofrom. And behold at the voico of the Pilgrim, the horses stopped their mad career, and the riders dismounted, aud the chariots were all. stopped. And those within loft the chariots. Aud then others mounted the horses und rode gallantly. And others sat iu the chariots'. And there were many thousands who rode thus; but they a cd no soap aud laughed at the Soap Factory. Aud many thousands bad ridden, then the pilgrim aud atranger counted out carefully all articles of a portable kind, and they went all right. Ana tlr**u he counted out hie atnall coins aud Lit* of paper waited fractional currency?and these worn many. Aud then be dismissed the people from the raberuacte. And he emptied the oil fro*j th<: ehest?and uuharuesMid the hor ses, t-ix and thirty i.i number. And then the Pilgrim called around him those who had bce'i valiant and daring riders and who had mastered the sleek and hhxAled et?-eds. And to each one h? gave a premium, or made "honorable meutiou" of him, or said his riding was "highly commendable." And to a gal lant and bold rider whom men cnll 'Greek.' he awarded the first aud high est prontium And to others, whose uames are not mentioned because oi their own modesty and de-tire to Iruet "to virtno ns its own reward," and who wore beavers for helmets on their heads, he gave many premiums And to the chief musician who was called Hen, and workt-d in wood Curiously, he was lavish with premiums. And to the mighty t'liptain ho- gave with a free hand. Then the mighty Captain who ? called ?Jim by his friends, (having yet more name), ar ?e and spoke thus to the peo ple and i*?id "We are thankful to you for helpim; us to fot*l for o?r horse? and lie fur the chist. Yottr ridW.g u good?-in fact woudcrCil, We didn't think there wre so many good rider about. If veu hoi known tW<rr? vtt-re many good riders about, more premiums would hare been provided. Th?. ahme is snrft if. Your* truly, JAM US KIM-BALL, Commonly called by his friends "Jim," tor short. Thi.t ended the whole affair. And now Mr. Kditor, yon can appre ciate tho mistake the Committee of the Fair made. Firxt. They should have given the Pilgr in a showing cs the grounds, bocauso he had better und easier going horses than th>?; shown at tin Fair. Second. Fie had steadier music, and he took in a crowd which would have been desirable about any Soap Foctory. Then here is what the Fair 'Jtet.' These horses of the Pilgrim have almost been taki'o away from him by the Ku Klux Klan, being the very style of horse* th* K. Ks ride at night. And he the Pilgrim has had many an offer of great price for th?3J hir.sos wherein the K. Ks shall ride nightly. And the price offered by tho K. Ks, was something like 92,000 a horse; but the Filgri ii greatly feared one Grunt, and baid, "I cannot give you thess blooded auiat auy price to rule ?: night, becat be they may run aw>iy with y<>u and 1 not being there to contiol thein, may hurt somebody. And I, even [, will be put up iu somo btoro building so: H ij?o.^ -..i-j r?.. 1?, ?uvi TCt.j ij (irant knows that tho K Ks have these blooded steed*, ho will duclaro Martini Law in Orangcburg And because the people have been good riderw, I like not ! !i it." So, I will uot s :ll my horses to any K. K. Ks". The Committeo of the Fair Could have bought llie.-u horses for li-sa aud feared uut. ? See again, 'iho Town Council thiuk of running street ears, und they made their offer, of purchase, and it is iikc ly the Pilgrim will take up tho offer. And the offur is liberal. And tho prop osition ot't he Council is to straighten uut the track of tho Pilgrim, aud run ihi- horses in street cars up and down (he Main str.-.'t and not in a circle any more?and this tho "Fair" could have b itignt up and mado money out of? fur there is money in it without, doubt. But tho Committeo economized too much. And that's all I kubw about ' the Fair."
