Smcceaa,
We desire, briefly, to say that the Fair
}f the Sttito Agricultural nu tl Meohauical
3ooioty. which closed yesterday, was a
decided success. It was a success in the
urray of articles on exhibition. It was
. success in the difficulties overcome. It
EVOS a success in a pecuniary way. It
(Mts ft Mooee* in the numbers it brought
together from all parts of the State. But
ibovo all, il waa a success in the emotions
it gratified, in the harmony it evolved,
.odin the earnest, hopeful and loyal
ipiriki that it exhibited. It was the first
general gathering of onr people since
?hewar. Friends met who had long been
leparated, and the determination passed
"rom mind to mind to work for tho re?
generation of our beloved State. The
ipirit evinoed in the Society was most
tamest and harmonious. We have said
mild our Society upon a rook. We be?
love the work is done. The State Agri?
cultural and Mechanical Society stands
ipon a firm foundation. ThoBO who
>rought it into existence, they will ?us?
ain it. After the Fair that has closed,
ire breathe more freely. We catch the
lun-Iight of the comiog day, when South
karolina shall bo herself again.

THB FAIR-THIRD DAT. -The exercises
of the Fair closed last evening about 5
o'clock. The last day was the most suc?
cessful. The Fair seeded to have im?
proved day after day as it progressed.
The Fair opened with a very large crowd,
and this crowd remained dense until the
end. The awarding of the premiums
was a most interesting feature. We aro
pleased to say that many of the prizes
were borne off by ladies and gentlemen
from this city. Mr. J. M. Crawford re?
ceived tho most valuable prize-the silver
goblet-presented by tho Chamber of
Commerce of Charleston, for tho beBt
ten bales of cotton. Mr. Richard Tozer
got a gold medal for his eugine. Mr. R.
O'Neale, Jr., received a prize for his two
year old colt uud for his specimen of
rice. Captain J. C. Bell received a pre?
mium for his one year old colt, and other
Columbians were awarded handsome pre?
miums.
The whole affair ended with a display
of horsemanship on tho part of a body
of citizen riders, under the command of
Col. Haskell. A son of Generul Wade
Hampton, about eleveu yours old, at?
tracted admiration for his bold horse?
manship, and, we behove, received the
prize for good 1 .ding.
The Post Band contributed much to
? the enlivening of tho occasion by excel?
lent music. We are glad to say, in con?
clusion, that tho Fair was a great moral
' and material success. But we regret to
i have to add, that a sad accident occurred
I just after the oloso of the Fair proper.
Mr. Willie Gnigoard was severely injur
I ed by the fall of his horse. With this
j sad exception, the Fair began and couti
? unod and ended most auspiciously. Cre
. dit is due to tho Chief of Police, Mr.
I John Glaze, for the order that prevailed
on the grounds. This Fair has been most
gratifying. It is now firmly established,
and year after year let it grow hotter and
better.
Among the machines that wo noticed
at the Fair, was the Hinkley Family Knit
; ting M. chine. This is one of those de?
vices to lessen labor, that are now not
I uncommon. It is cheap, durable, useful
I aud not liable to get out of order. It is
i warranted to knit anything and the work
j is as good, if not superior to hand work.
; It knits socks at the rate of two pairs per
j hours. Dr. J. W. Thomas, Abbeville
i Court House, is the agent, The price
j is $30.

A DULL FEELING ABOUT THE HEAD is
common to those nftlicted with liver dis?
ease. This disease affects tho memory
and mind, producing a dull, uncertain
feeling and depression of spirits called
melancholy, an indescribable sensation
of having left something undone, or that
somo evil was expected to happen ; a ge?
neral distrust in every remedy, and dis?
position to be languid and indifferent to
overytbiug; nt other times, the feelings
aro vindictive and quarrelsome. Take
Simmons' LIVER REGULATOR, and be re?
lieved of the diseased liver which is af?
fecting you. It is a sure thing. N13J3J"

and permanent relief in these Bitters.
But, above all, they aro recommended to
weak and delicate females und mothers.
