There appears to ho a strong inclina tion among some of our leading agri culturists to revive the custom of hold ing County Fairs, and the Intelligen cer, appreciating the great benefits which lia ve accrued to Anderson Coun ty in the past from agricultural socie ties abd annual fairs, welcomes this growing sentiment ami will gladly ?io all in its power to aid in the re-estab lishment of a custom KO beneficial arni of such general advantage. The remarkably rapid development in the last few years ot manufacturing industries in this County lias naturally resulted in these enterprises being kept prominently before the public to the neglect, apparently, of agricultural in terests; hut lb** intention was simply to cultivate and stimulate u spirit of industrial development at that ??articu lar time when it gave evidence of most vigorous gr? nv th, feeling assured that the agricultural development of An derson County would continue to main tain th*- high reputation it has through out thu Stat?* without any special aid from this paper in the incant mi?;. As fur hack astin; days of John C. Calhoun there was organized, at Pen dleton an Agricultural Society, which continued vigorous up to ?mr civil war, and was t he fust society re established then; af ter the war. .Mr. Calhoun was an honorary nn-mber ol' (his society, taking miK'li interest in its meetings, a! which essays.were read on the cul ture ot the various products. Annual fail's were held mid an interest in and impulse given to agriculture from the efforts ot this society that have been of incalculable benelit to this ?Milite sec tion ot the State. Nothing conduces more to tim general advancement in any branch ot* art or science t han the coming together annually ol' those whose minds and energies aro being constantly given t?? the particular work under discussion, [dens are exchanged, experiments made known, profitable experience discussed and progress is made easy and rapid. In Ioho the Anderson Agriculturil and Mechanical Society was formed, and lion. B. F. Clayton, the leading soirit in organizing the society, was elected president. The people through on< the County took au interest in the society, the fairs were miltie a success, BOM/culture was stimulated, business <? di ki'xls was given a new impulse such succeeding year, progress was made and Auderson County marched to the front rank as one of the best, if not thu best, agricultural counties in the State. Political differences which sprang up just prior to 181M) drifted the people apart and. thia society gave place to the organization of other so cieties throughout the country, huving for their object the redress of griev ances regarded as resulting from po litical conditions. These diff?rences no longer exist, as far as possible all grievances have buen adjusted, and it is now proposed to reorganize this so ciety-.. Tue holding of a Fair this year is, of course, not contemplated. It is too late for that, but there could be no better time for organization. If the organization cati be completed this full and several meetings held between this and the spring season, it will bu possible to hold a Fair next October, which will draw visitors to Anderson from all sections of the upper part ot' thu State and give au impulse to our agricultural and mechanical industries they have not felt for years. To facilitate tho early re-organiza tion of this society the Intelligencer will take the liberty of naming a few leadiug men in each Township, who, if they will take au interest in the mat ter and arrange to got together, can make the movement a success from the very start. In giving these names the Intelligencer must he pardoned for emitting the names of very many of our prominent citizens. Only a few can be mentioned and the following are the first occurring to the mind : Anderson Township-Hon. B. F. Cravton, J. L. .McGee, J. 8. Fowler, J. J. Fretwell. Belton-A. C. Lntimer, D. A.
