Tho Fair is over. Commencing on
TueJ?ay the 24th ultimo, and ending on
the follow log Thursday, it was one un
tiring.round of enjoyment throughout.
Mauy ; prophecies and predictions had
gone out in relation to this, the First
Annual Fair of Orangoburg County. A
enia^l minority of our eltiaena, in their
unenvlablo skepticism aud tad want of
gate. I / rjfl ?
energy,.,Iojg ago laid that we were too
poor-. to support successfully any aueh J
w undertak ing. The results of the enter
pri?o stand but in eloquent array to pre
claAh Uli such croakers as these we kave
mentioned as false witnesses against cota
'fciii. vu i'1*
meudablc and praiseworthy motives.
Tho Fair is over, and it was a com
pleto success.
On : Tuesday morning the elouds as
sumed- a gloomy aspeet, and many, who
were* warmly sanguine of the aueeess of
thegFair hitherto, for the first time wore
an expression of countenance that boded
doubts on their part. But soon the
rapid and successive sounds of vehicles
put to flight all such misgivings, and
henceforward, despite the gloomy wenth
-or, it was universally believed that the
-occasion would be crowned with abun
dant success.
/ Ths building used wae Whittemore's
\ Soap Factory, which, uuder the maoage
mept of the Committee, had been swept
out and and improved to such an extent,

Editor Oranyelmrj News :
I have bceu prcssiugly iuv itcd to give
an account of the "Rise aud progress,"
and "decline and fall," of THK F'lR?T
Annual Agricultural Fair i.i Or
ANtSEBUito. Hut it is not in my line.
That the Fair is ended, I presume will
be stated several limes in your edstori.il
of to morrow, and in lour dozen other
places in your paper. So it is unneces
sary to mention th>it fact her?. You will |
furthermore no doubt, dilate much on
all that was exhibited at the Fair?aud
dilute the relative merit* of every thing
aud of everybody. And you will tell
us who got premiums and who did not?
who received medal*, who pocketed
only "'highly commendable,'* and ''hon
orable m^ution," (which, I take, it means
"try it over old tellow, see if you can't
do better unit timn".) :??"t ???'"? i
lot us know whit "the distinguished
fellow citizen" ?ail in his address This
is in your line, and I have no doubt you
will do it well. And you being editor
and reporter combined, havo the
bci>t apportuuity of enlightening the
public. Serve out tho customary gruel
which every body expects, and which
has been served out since the days when
Adam and Eve planted potatoes, and
fruit, mid made an awful fuss about it
in their little tri weekly, devoted to do
mestic economy and dried apples. 1
have no words to say beyond this. 1
liked the Fair, it was a right fair Pair,
and may b< fearlessly pronounced a suc
cessful affair throughout. You go on
for details?go on uud use up your
paper. I haven't strength. 1 saw on
exhibition, good apples, geod Ayrcshiro
Hull, good antics, good bread, buiscuits,
and butter (lookod good), baby clothing,
bees, baskets, good corn, cake, ijookod
so), coverings for single lolks of cold
nights, good ploughs, gins, wines, (i
heard about the wines), good teeth, and
good other tilings, (can't go into details)
? -and a very intelligent jackass, &c,
A.c. Rut the articles I noticed most
worihy of premiums, were tho pretty
woiuju. I may say ns to that "there
was a perfect freshet of loveliness"?
put tliut dowu as a quotation*. I think
however the Managers and Committee
men of the Fair committed a gravo
error which will be appareut to all, as I
go on to say what I huvo to tell you.
Something near a week before the Fair
opeued, a Pilgrim aud a stranger came
prospecting around the 'Burgh., Pros
pected to the Committee Fair. Said he
was a Pilgrim and a stranger, with
thirty six horses to euter for exhibition.
Would they givo h;m a small bit of ihe
Fair Crouud ou which to ride his hor
ses 7 Committee were afraid his blood
stock wouid take aji the prises. And
there were act prises enough for those
ia the County. So committee said no!
You eau't bars this ground. Then the
Pilgrim aod ?tratiger prospeeted across
the street, sad he met a man who ap
preciated blood stuck, and sympa
thised with pilgrims aud strangers.
Aud.he *'id ge awd lake my grouud
aad ou it build up your ? itberuucle, aud
your teuts, and your stables, aud any
thiug ehe (an loeg as you dou't build *
soap factory) aud there ride your.koreo*
ui.ul their tails drop off. So the i'ii
gri*u and stranger smiled uuto kiutaclf,
und Mid unto himself: Truly am 1
lha?ikfnl to this umhi for thw thing
which Ii? hu? doue. Aud I will buihi cp
Miy Taberuacle, aud pitch my tent, aud
build my wublc*. Aud 1 will build uu
.-o..p factory either. * Aud they who
oo?ue into my leut shall tee uo ?:?up?
sud ll.ey invt'f did use ?>up. Aud
thvj want nothing to do with snap fac
tories. Then the pilgrim ai?d stranger
erected a pole, aud over this pole he
spread a broad doth?and this was his
Tueeroacle. Aud within this i'aberua
eic he h.*rr*ess<*d his six and thirty hor
cce?wild they were ?leek. And hi*
chariots were numerous ued gaudy.
And hi* hems were fat aud blooodod,
and were tvot by any meine of the old
crow bait kind. Neither limped they
any?nor hud they sore backs?not one.
And th?a the Pilgiim took into his
Ctittueils a mighty Captain who is minted
Jam** K io,l all, (wht hi his intimate
friend* call "Jim" for short), ami anoth
er curiotts. worker ih Wood whom his
frie?ii4e calls Bea,(also for .?h?rt he hav
ing more biiik.-). Then the might)
Ca| tain spake oat in a baud mice, and
wanted ail who would, to eon.e in and
rift* tee ?leek, and hat, and blooded
hor.?t??and lo sit and ride within the
gundy chariots?mid this h* did many
lime*. And while the mighty Captain
said this, he the euriows worker ia wo<id
?who is ceiled B\w fnr .-aWf. (hawing
yet more name), )i;ttd up n i?rge ?e.-*ei
ot tin, and from this vei?r?rl he poured
certain h::e ?>i 1 (and two gallons w.i* the
ijniotirr pnhrtd) into a l?r^c rhe.tt bound
round with brawn ban-Is ar.d studded
with brasen stnds. And when the fine
oil was all poured ont into th<? chest,
the curious worker in woi.<\. seixed with
both his hands a handle or mnk which
belonged to the chart, and h? turned
the same with much rapidity. Arid
behold ont of the chest there ramr forth
the ?wertest of anisic. And the curious
worker in wood continued to grind upon
(ho crank or handle, ami us he ground
the same sweet music came forth. And
the crowd gathered together, while the
mighty Captain spake. And the music
was ground out, an 1 they gathered more
und more uutil they numbered tens of
thousands. And they were in much
ecstaoy while thoy listened to the voice
of the mighty Captain and the sweet
niu-oc. And none?no not one of that
crowd, ever used soap, uor patronised
they any soap factory.
Aud thereupon the crowd went into
the Tabernacle of the Pilgrim and stran
ger?oud he keeping the gates of the
Taberuacle, received from eich one a
small coin, or a bit of piper u ill ? 1 frac
tional currency wherewith the Filgri m
and stranger purchased provisions for
his six and thirty horses, and also oil
for his chest.
k ...i . ? ? -. iv..;-!
each one as he came in mounted upon
ono of the six and thirty horses, until
each horse bad its rider. Aud in each
chariot were soatod the women and the
children. And the riders (each wishing
to show his skill) were reckless and dar
ing. They knew uot the spirit of the
steeds, nor whether the steeds were bro
ken and gentle nnd familiar with the
voice of the Pilgrim. And then when
each horse had it* rider, and every cha
riot filled with the women and children,
the mighty Captain ceased speaking,
and with both bauds soizod a crank
which ho turned with much strength
and violently. Aud then the sleek and
fat horses and blooded in <ved around.
And lo ! there gait was marvolous: yet
their gait was uot repleto with variety.
Aud the steeds with tho .riders thero
of went around stalking serenely, and
broke not the track once?nor changed
they their gait, (which is in >ro than can
bo said of the steeds at tho So ip Factory).
Neither Were they frightened at any
' thing whatever, not even a bundle of
fodder, (and this is also more than can
be said of sonic of tho steeds at tho Soap
Factory which sturtod at tho artielo of
fodder as n curiosity, fur fetchod and
unaccustomed to.
- '.?.-j_
Aud the riders ceased their fears.
And tho eploudidly mounted uiassos
moved around?for the horses kuow the
voice of tho Pilgrim and at ranger, and
were brokon well and gen tin? aud while
they rode and rejoiced, tho music came
forth from the ehest in oue siaglc strain,
and it varied not from that oce strain at
any time, auy more than tho six and
thirty horses broke from tho traox. Aud
this cannot bo said of tho music at the
Fair, which waa held at the Soap Factory
?which music kept not to one tune
entirely; but continued to vary and
change its tunes, and iew from one tune
to another as tho horses on the track
varied their gait thorefrotn. And behold
at the voice of the Pilgrim, the horses
stopped their mad career, and the riders
dismouutod, aud the ekarioU were all.
stopped. And thoso within left the
chariots. Aud then others tuouuted the
horses and rode gallantly. And others
sat iu the chariots. Aud there were many
thousands who rodo thus; but they
used no soap aud laughed at the Soap
Faotory. Aud many thousands bad
ridden, then the pilgrim aud stranger
counted out earefully all articles of a
portable kind, and they wer? all right.
And ibeu he e .noted out his small
eoiiHi aud bits of paper eafled fractional
currency?and these wore many. And
then he dismissed the people from the
l'aberiincle. And he emptied the oil
froMi the chest?aud ouhurue.sH.'d the hor
ses, mx and thirty i t number. And
then the Pilgrim called around him
those who had bee'i gallant and daring
riders aud who had mastered the sleek
and blooded steeds. Aud to each oue
he give a premium, or made ''honoruble
mention" of him, or aaid hit riding was
"highly commendable." And to a gal
lant and bold rider whom men call
'Greek,' he awarded the first and high
est prom i urn Aud to others, whose
names are not mentionud because of
their own modesty nud desire to trust
''to virtue ns its own reward," and wlto
wore beavers for helmets on their heads,
he gave many premiums Aud to the
chief musician who was called Hen, and
worked in wood curiously, he was lavish
with premiums. And to the mighty
Captain he gave with a freo hand.
Then the mighty Captain who is culled
Jim by his friends, (having yet more
name), arose and spoke thus to the peo
ple <>tid an id "We are thank I nl to you
lor heipirt'4 us to food for imr horses
and lie for the chiat. Your rtdi>.g is
good?in fact wonderful. We didn'r
think there wrre so many pood rider.*
lihi 'it. If wu hid known th<rra were
many good riders about, more premiums
Would have been provided. 'D\r. ahme
m endedi Your* truly,
J AM ?3 KIM HALL,
Commonly called by his friends
"Jim," tor short.
Th.it ended the whole affair.
And now Mr. Kditor, you ran appre
ciate tho mistake the Committee of the
Fair made. First. They should have
given the PilgT m a showing oat the
grounds, because he had berter and
easier going horses than th^^ shown
at the Fair.
Second, lie had tfettdier music, and
he took in n crowd which wottld have
been desirable about any Soap Foctory.
Then hero is what the Fair 'lpst.'
These horses of the Pilgrim Iihv? i'.lmcst
been taken way from hi in by the Ku
Klux Klan, being the very .-tyle of
horse* th? K. Ks ride at night. And he
the Pilgrim has had many an offer of]
gre.it price for thc3J hirsss wherein
the K. Ks Khali ride nightly. And
the price offered by tho K. Ks, was
something like i'J.ODO a horse; but the
Pilgrim greatly tVtared one Grunt, and
said. ??! oanu it give you thess blooded
animals at auy price to ride at night,
becat se they may ritu uwnj with you
and 1 not being there to conttol them,
may hurt somebody. And I, eren I,
will be put up iu soino storo building
for h I ping the K. Ks, and verilr if
Grant Knows that the K Ks have these
blooded steeds, ho wdl dnclaro Martial
Law iu Oraugcburg. And because the
p.?? pie have b'-en good ridern, I like not
ih it." So, I will uot soil my horses to any
K. K Ks". The Committee of the Fair
could have bought tho.-o horses for less
aud 'eared uot. -
Sco again. 'Iho renn Council thiuk
of running street cats, and they made
their offer, of purchase, and it is like
ly tho Pilgrim will take up tho offer.
And the offer is liberal. And tho prop
osition of the Council is to straighten
out the tr.tok of the Pilgrim, uud run
the horses in street cars up und dawn
the .Main slrejt and not in ? circle any
more?and this the "Fair" could have
bougnt up nnd made money out of?
for there is money iu it without doubt.
Hut the Committco economized too
much. And that's all I kuow about
"tho Fair/'
