The Columbia correspondent of the New York Sun says of the South Caro* lina Legislatu r e just elected: “The material of the body is miser able.

They will make an attempt to cm tail ove.ty expense of the govern ment, and be sis uncharitable, uupro- gressive and niggardly (impossible.” The Charleston corre qwmdent of the of; New York Times writes as follows: “Tiie next State Legislature will be overwhelmingly Democratic, hut it will be largely composed of new ma terial. nearly one hundred out of tba total of l”i being new men fresh from the people, and full of all sorts of impo-sinle notions of practical reform.

This thing impressed us, I ment,” and that everybody is against because it does seem strange that those who appear to thin k that they hold a monopoly, of ail the aggricul- tural wisdom of the State should fail to assist in sustaining and building up those industries which are the very life blood of the self-sustaining, pros perous farmer. It is all folly to sup pose that any farmer can ever he pros perous, who fails to produce the nec- cessariesuqd comforts of l{fe, staking his all on cotton and letting everything pise go to the dogs, buying his bread and meat in the west and oftentimes l not having enough milk to put in his coffee. It is suqh farming as this that creates mortgages and liens, and it is fhe mortgages aud liens that create Tillman movements, compounded with five per cent, of agriculture to ninety-five per cent, of prejudice, egotism and polities. . ’Phe farmers who contributed to this magnificent display are evidently men who are out of the bullrushes themselves, and who do not require the services of an Agricultural Moses. They evidently live at home in comfort and even luxury, attending faithfully to the develope- ment of those intelligent methods, which will best preserve their self- respect and independence, and at the ■ame time promote the greatest meas ure of general prosperity. It is upon such men that Houth Carolina must rpiy for whatever of material success *he accomplishes in the future. The Fair was managed in all respects with a proper sense of decorum ami propriety, and the attendance was large and brilliant. The receipts have been so satisfactory that the society have ample funds to settle every lia bility and effect decided improve ments on the groqnds dqring the coming year. . L ist year numerous gambling de vices were scattered over the grounds, this year they were banished, al though they paid the society $S00 for their priviliges, Notwithstanding the absence of this source of revenue the total receipts are said, by the Columbia correspondent of the Xeivs and Courier, to be only $500 less than last year. . Tiie horse racing was good, but the receipts not as large as lust year, because there was no racing on Tues day in consequence of had weather.

We rode over a mile or two of the graded portion of the road, the work is being actively push ed forward. Seventy-five hands are steadily kept at work grading. The road pa-es through a fertile and level country and it will he built at a mini mum cost. Capt. Sally is now engaged in laying out tiie site for a town at Five Forks and lias already sold sev eral lots. As there is i> prosperous back country surfouiidingtheproposed town, he expects the place to flourish amazingly. There is no doubt of the road being built, the grading for To nrles is being pushed from Blackviile and also from Capt. Sally’s and this much of the road will he ready for the iron by Jan. 1st. Caot. Sally expects to see the iron horse at Five Forks by March. 1st.

D. !>.- One of tiie measures asked for by the farmers is the repeal of the usury law. If we are not mistaken it was mainly through the infiueuee of the furiners that this law was re-en- t acted. The recommendatiou, how ever, is a good one, as all laws that in terfere with the free lending of mone3 , x terms agreed upon between bor- .werand lender, tend to increase the fate of interest because of tiie addi tional risk of collection. Money is nothing more than a commodity just Jike cotton, tobacco or other produce, aud is worth just what it will bring i:i open market. The greater the se- VUrity to the lender, the lower the price to {lie borrower aud vice versa. Usury laws instead of being a protec tion to the borrower, are nothing more than clogs to the wheels of commerce. They drive reputable men out of the market and make room for sliylocks to step in, and demand their pound of fedi for the additional risk which they It’tcur la oversleping the barriers of |he law.

Green, Dear Sir:—we will soon need more Ague Conquer- ful Fairs ever he{ji in the South. Vfter referring t >thechangts that bethought neccessary both as to the Fair grounds and building, President Duncan said tiie improvements could have been made for the present year by extraordinary means, but he had avoided tiie suggestion solely witli tiie view of not embarrasing Ids successor. He said that the society was now in a sound financial condi tion and it was a matter of regret to him that the same could not he said of many of fanners throughout tiie State, which latter end lias been brought about by a year fraught v ;th dL-astert from the spring Hoods and tiie earth quake. “Hard times” as a conse quence came up “from every county, from every tongue, and from every clime.” A very pertinent question at this juncture was “is this only a temporary crisis or a warning of that decadence which conies to ail nations, ‘when wealth accumulates and men decay.’ ” The cause of misfortune has been va riously assigned. Some say it is due to tiie antagonism of labor and Capi tal, others ascribe it to the State Gov ernment. The commercial press seek asolution of tho diificulty in the set tlement of the labor troubles. But there is another side of the picture. Early in 18->U there were organized in the South four iron foundries, three cotton mills, nineteen ice factories, seventeen machine shops, three stove foundries, seven furniture factories, nine gas works, twelve electric light works, seven carriage ami wagon fac tories. twenty-eight mining compa nies and one hnmiivd and eleven lum ber mills, employing in all ^.'Ki.ttOO.'jOO of capital against s21,000,000 for the same period in 1885 Tins appears to contradict tiie cry of stagnation in business; and hpw are ttie statements to be reconciled? The truth is, that some of the “.limbs of the great business body may he do ing duty, but the body itself, the great agricultural spinal column, is more or less paralyzed, and is only working as it is sustained by temporary stiinu- lants.” The question of the age is the solution of that knotty problem. He could say without derision that this was the time when an agricultural Moses was needed. A suceesful sys tem of agriculture must be tiie won derful alchemy which could change depression into peace and happiness. Prosperity need not be looked for wlien agriculture languishes. The offering of a panacea for the evils was beyond his power. He who can solve the problem will go down to posterity honored Like ail tiie inventors and specialists of former days. Mucli of the depression, however, was undeniably due to the want of practicing true lessons of economy and living within our means, and tiiat the cottou crop was often made the means of a g; 'Phe economy nee in the days of “rye-coffee and sor ghum sweetening.” Such economy in less than three years, would free us from debt, and the cry of hard times would be stilled. It was the province of tiie society to assist its president to educate and elevate the farmers to the proud place lie should occupy. That is a part of the litany of the far mer As a general rule the incubus on the farmer was debt; it was the agricultural blight. Much is to he learned by the farmer by per-onul com parison, an exchange of personal ex perience; for it is “byline upon line and precept upon precept” that our agricultural reformation is to be con summated. To tiie speaker’s mind the situation was in a nutshell—it was the system of planting cottou to the exclusion of all home supplies—the mortgaging of lands to capitalists to run the farmers, with the necessities of life from dis tant Mates Much better, indeed, to live on a rented farm than on one car rying a mortgage the farm can never pay. Pay as you go is the best policy after all. it could also be said that farmers were lacking in the information that can be gleaned from Agricultural journals, winch they seemingly avoid for the political and miscellaneous papers. “When,” President Duncan said, “I see a farmer attending all po litical conventions and knowingevery man in town that votes his ticket, and yet to save Ids neck couldn’t tell who is pres'dent of ids county agricultural society, or where the Fair was held last year, I unanimously’’ come to tiie conclusion tiiat tiie poor man has got a crack in Ids hog trough.” The speaker said that he was not in any way opposed to agricultural education for ids whole ii’e was wedded to tin development of the farmers’ avoea- j tion. In conclusion he said that the oocic- | ty ha . undoubtedly done som ‘thing j in the direction of developing the eg- | rieultura] interests, both by tiie an- I nual Fairs and the joint summer ! meetings. The faruie:s as yet do not understand the object of the society’, inasmuch as they have been led to believe tiiat it is more of a political concern. But tiie proof of tiie reverse needed very little argu ment. “The society has been for years doing a great, earnest work in the in trodution of new seed, improved im plement-, thoroughbred cattle, horses, poultry, «kt\. and posterity will rise up and call it blessed.” Tiie address was received with high appreciation. Several life members were elected. Col retired from the chair it was occupied by Major IL A. Meetze, of Lexington. Mr. T. O. Sanders nominated for re- election as president Col. D. P. Dun can and he was unanimously elected, the society showing by its action that it appreciated fully tiie services of tiie young president who has done so torch to make its fairs without supe riors in the South. In spite of his declination, therefore. Col. Duncan will have a fourth term. *&&naGor&ial CUKHS DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, WEAKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVERS, MALARIA, LIVER COMPLAINT, KIDNEY TROUBLES, NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM.
