Tis* Fsir is over. Commencing on
Tuesday the 24th ultimo, and ondiug on
the follow iug Thursday, it was one un
tiring, round of enjoyment throughout.
Many prophecies and predictions bad
gona>> out in relation to this, tho First
Anieali'Faif of Orangeburg County. A
small minority of our eitiseos, in their
unenviablo skepticism aud sad Haut of
energyj.^oug ago said that w? were too
poor.. to support success fully any such
w undertaking. The results of tho enter
prise stand but id eloquent array to pro
claim fell such croakers as these we have
mentioned as false witnesses against eon
meudablo and praiseworthy motives.
Tho Fair is over, end it was s com
plete success.
On Tuesday morning the clouds as
euincd a gloomy aspect, snd many, who
-?Si Vp?
were' warmly sanguine of the success of
tho Fuir hitherto, for the first time wore
an expression of countenance that boded
dotrbts on their part. But soon the
rapid and successive sounds of vehicles
put to flight all such misgivings, nud
henceforward, despite the gloomy weath
er, it was universally believed that the
occasion Would be crowned with abun
dant success.

[COMMUNICATED.]
THE PILGRIM A\'l> Till:
Editor Oranyrimrj Kctc?:
I have beeu pressingly iovited to give
an scoount of the "Rise aud progress,"!
and "decline aud fall," of thx FikoT
Annual Agricultural Fair in Or- i
ANtiEBUltO. 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."

Important Decision.?Tho Char
leston Arten, of yesterday contains the
following decision of a homestead caso;
In a case whoro judgment had been
recovered before Judge Carpenter, June,
1870, in* which that Judge held that*
tho defendant was not entitled to a home- "
stead, and the homestead which' had''
been before set off to the defendant was
taken* oat of bis possession aud the ?
plaintiff put in possession thereof.
Judge Graham this week made an order
on motion of Mr. Koowltcn, tho defend
ant's counsel, setting aside the jjtfdg- #
uieut and all the proceedings under It,
ordering a new trial in tho ease, and
giving the defendant, Mr. JejrsiniaUlJJT
Houck, leave ts cum? in sell'plead his
right of homestead.
