''Let our just Censnrei Attend tho True Event." BY J. A, SELBY. COLUMBIA, S. C, WEDNESDAY MOKNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1872. VOL. VIII?NO. 197. Meeting of the South Oaroltma aqbioultobatj amd mechanical so? ciety.?The State Agricultural and Me? chanical Socioty oonvoned in the Coart Honse last night. President Hagood oalled the Sooiety to order and delivered tho following address: gentlemen and feixow-MlVMBKRS of Tin: State Aouicultubal and Meohamcal So? ciety: It will be Been by the Treasurer's re? port, which will be laid beforo yon, that the income from our last Fair waB (5,578.35. Of this amount, f4 410.91 was paid lor the ex? penses of the Fair; $800.65 waa paid for im? provements on the Fair Grounds; and $350 upon a note in bank?leaving a balance, of $16.79 In the Treasury. The note in bank, It will be remembered, was given by tbo Execu? tive Committee to raise an amount sufficient to cover the difference between the receipts and expenditures of our Beoond Fair. There is due of thla date upon that note, including interest, the sum of $G97. The Income of the Society up to this timo has boeu derived exclusively from its Faire; and upon tho first three held it is, therefore, in debt, though to no considerable extent. 1 can add nothing to tho urgenoy with which I have heretofore recommended you to put your affairs upon a more assurod basis. I regret to report that tho scheme of a Joint Stook Company, auxiliary to the So? ciety, has not already boen perfected. At our last meeting, Mr. Hope, from the committee ' appointed to solicit subscriptions, roported at that timo 912 shares, of $10 each, sub? scribed, in addition to the 410 shares previ? ously reported by the Secretary; and, on mo? tion of Mr. Wallace, the Secretary was or? dered to oanvaaB the State for further sub? scriptions. In the diacbarge of this duty, during the past summer, that officer did not meet with Bncceas commensurate, with his efforts. As the scheme now stands, somo $13,000 have been subscribed, of which no part has been paid in: and $5,000 have beon subscribed and paid in by three gentlemen, to whom referenoe will be more particularly made. If the unpaid subscriptions are made good, tbo eum of $18,000 is scoured, which, though not as much aa could be desired, is yet sufficient to add stability to the Society, and greatly extend its usefulness. An apa? thy iu this matter Beems to have settled upon tho minds of members, and the Sooioty should at onoo bring it to a successful conoluaion, or, abandoning it, devise some other method of securing its objoct. I must confess that, to my mind, no other plan commends itself bo forcibly as that of the Joint Stock Auxili? ary Association. It is respectfully recom? menced that this subjeot have priority in I your deliberations, and the hope ia enter? tained that before you adjourn, the Associa? tion will be successfully organized. The auspioes of our Society were extended in 1870 to tho Laud and Immigration Com? pany of South Carolina, a private enterprise, which depended for raising the funds to carry out its purpose, upon a seriei of draw? ings and concerts at the Academy of Music in C ? arlcston. The company proposed by theee means to raise $100,000, and pledged them? selves to devote tho entire proceede, less $10,000, to the immediate introduction of actual settlors int? tho State. The $10,000, if successful, they were to devoto to a subscrip? tion to your Joint Stock Auxiliary Association. These drawiogB and concerts have been had since your last meeting; and, upon their con? clusion, I was notified by the company that the sohemo had not realized their expecta? tions, and that tboy were, therefore, not able to subscribe more than $5,000 to the auxiliary stock. This amount I received from them, and now hold on deposit at interest in a bank in Charleston. It is the subscription of tho three gentlemen, previously referred to, as paid in. Beforo passing from the Bubject of the atatus of our Society, it is suggested that you consider tho propriety of applying to the Le? gislature for State aid iu enrryiug out our objects. South Carolina;!? probably more ex? clusively agricultural in tho pursuits of her people than any other State in the Union, and is among the few?perhaps tho only one? in which the State Agricultural Society re? ceives no appropriation from the State trea? sury. It ietruo that tho tax-payor and tho land-holder?that portion of tbo agricultural class which this Society chiefly represents? have little influenae in her councils; but there is a human wisdom in the Scriptural injunc? tion to muzzle not tbo ox that troadeth out the corn, which may commend itself to our legislators, and the ?x neod not scruple to re? ceive for its Bostenanco some small part of the fruit of its own labor. Tho donatiou of the Federal Government in behalf of agricul? ture has boen disposed of in this State so as to inure exclusively to the educational benefit cr.c half c* our population. Suruiy it is not unreasonable to ask tbat tbo State, from her own resources, should givo some aid to that other half of the poople, who so largely represent the intelligence and capital em? barked in practical farming. This matter has not before beon introduced into your de? liberations, and, perhaps, has been judicious? ly avoided. But the scopo and objoct of our Sooiety, and its entiro segregation from politics, has now beon developed iu its his? tory; r.nd a new Stato Government has conic into i uwer proteasing a more catholic regard for the general welfare With tbo subjeot pro? perly presented, they can hardly refuse somo recognition of our efforts in that direction. It were well, also, t.i consider whether our Society, as at present conducted, is fulfilling the measure of its usefulness. Our annual meeting is merely supplemental to the hold? ing of a Fair, useful iu itcolf as an exposition of the industries ot lim Slato, and valuable as an occasion of tbo social re-union of tho peo? ple. The opportunity of this general gather? ing has boon seized upon by other organiza? tions?moritorioas, it is truo?to have their meetings; and, alter a futiguing day at the t'air Grounds, members are required to meet tho Uooiety at night, and matters aro hurried through to give an opportunity ot discharg? ing the obligations elsowbero'exactod. Tbo consequeuco is that tho merest requirements of actual business are met, and though most valuable agricultural papers aro nnnually published io our proceedings, tho mnjority ot thorn have been adopted without having boon road beforo the Society; and wo have never ret had such a thing as a plain, practical, farmer-like dhjcuasiou of agricultural topics in our hall. It occurs to me that this difficulty may be met by confining our objects at tbo winter mooting to tho holding of the Fair, and tho discharge of necessary business, and by hav? ing a sjiiing or preferably a summer meeting, at which tho chief object will be the discus? sion of agricultural topics. A carefully pro oared syllabus of agricultural and mechani? cal subjects for observation, investigation and experiment should bs adopted bv the Sooiety and regularly gono through with. The sub? jects to bo considered at tho next mooting should bo duly announced by oircular to each member, and to the County Sooieties, from wbiob delegations should bo invited. Individu? als should bo appointed to open each discus eion, and a stenographer to report the debate, all of which, in a oompenduous form, should bo published in our transactions. I must think that thus a mass of most valuable agri? cultural and meobanioal information would bo Inseminated, and tho interest in the Socioty, t-tken by members, bo greatly increased. A pomologloal and floral exhibition might bo ?tdded to this summer mooting, and tbo place of holding it each year bo somo different point in tbo Stato. Sineo wo were last assembled, our Socictv has sustained the loss of another active anil efnaleut member, and many of ns that or a valued friend, in the death of the lato Ed? ward Molntosh. This event occurred in Maryland, at tho resldonco of a brother of the deceased. Mr. Molntosh graduated at the South Carolina College, a year or two be- I fore the war, and immediately devoted him- I tell to planting, Upon tho breaking out of | hostilities, he enlisted as a private in a Sonth Carolina regiment, and subsequently rose by promotion through the grade of lieutenant to the rank of captain. His servioe was chiefly in tbe army ot Northern Virginia. At the oloee of the war, ho returned to his plants tion, and up to his death, remained identified with agricultural pursuits, to tho advance? ment of which he gave tbo bCBt efforts of an active and judioiouB mind. Ho wsb one of tho founders of tbo Pomological and Farm? ers' Club of Society Hill; was a member of the Executivo Cemmitteo of this Society, in which position he bad served from the begin? ning, and was President of tho Darlington County Agricultural and Meohanical Society at the time of his death. Successfully dis? charging these public trusts, and in his nri vate relations coming up io tho full measure of duty, ho has perished ere reaching the meridian of manhood. His last illness was brief, and his death calm and self-postoesod. With a message of love to his friouds and an undisturbed trust in God, he fittingly clot ml a pure and bravo end useful life. The fourth term for which I have served as your chief executive officer is about to expire. Profoundly grateful for the kind partiality which elevated me to the position, aud for the cordial support with which my t-lfjrts in l Im discharge of its dntioB bavo been met, I feel that propriety and the host interests of our Association require that I should now return to its ranks. The office may well be an object of honorablo ambition, and to make tho direc? tion of your affairs a closo corporation, can? not redound to their advancement. While re? maining substantially tbo same, the Execu? tive Committee has boon, from time to time, roinvigorated by the admission of new mem? bers; and tho untasked energies, fresh hopes and new influences of another President, will, I am persuaded, carry forward with an accelorated progress tho objects of our So? ciety. In thus closing an official connection dating from our organization, it m?y be per? mitted me to congratulate you upon the re? sults your efforts have already accomplished, and to express confidence in a future for tho Society of continued usefulness. Disastrous as was the late civil war to tho accumulated wealth of South Carolin*, still moro unhappy was the paralysis of hopo aud patriotism which its result's inflicted upon those who, up to that time, had controlled tho fortnuos of the State. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say, that at first the necessities of existence alone drovo them to grapple with tho difficul? ties of an untried labor and devastated fluids, and laws administered from military Karri sons, or that thcro wore many who, of their own free choice, remained in the 8tato which they had once loved so well,and whoBc degra? dation they would have died to avert. With such feelinga, our agrioulture was (or awhile conducted in tho spirit of tho casual tenaut; and the effort of tbe planter, in most oases, waa merely to roalizo what bo could of pre? sent proflt in & precarious ventnro. Now, our labor baa chryatalized in ite now relations to capital; its efficiency ia known and may bo taken at ita true valuo in all agricultural estimates. Timo and industry have largely ro-accumulated our wasted capital, and a healthior feeling' pervades the public mind and inspires its energies. Tho good, then, undoubtedly is in some aspects of the change our industrial relation* bavo undergono is perceived; and timo is hopefully looked to to remove or mitigate tho political evils that accompanied it. A.bovo all, the re? sults of tho conflict are accepted, and there is a feeling without which there can bu no healthy advance iu agriculture?that we I have yet a homo to adorn aud a country to live for. For how much of this improved condition of things we aro indebted to tho in? fluences of this Society, it would be difficult to say, and perhaps bu deemed arrogant for mo to assert, but the asscniVdaco of the ooDvouliou in April, 18o'J, which gave it ex istouco, was the first expression of hopo that found utteranco alter tho war for the indus? trial interests of South Carolina, and of tbe wholo of this happy progress tho Socioty has been a part. 1 confidently bolicvo it will Continus 10 exert no mean influence in what? ever of development of tho State's abounding reaonrcea the future may havo in store, auei that in laboring to advance that object, WO are best discharging tho duty of tho hour. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, Secretary and Treasurer of tho Society, submitted bis annual report of receipts aud expendi? tures, and asked tbo appointment of a committee) to examine bis vouchers. Tho Chair Appointed Messrs. E. Hope, P. S. Folder und A. H. Waring as such committee. j Col. R. M.

Your Committee, to whom was refer? red so much of tho Preaidont'u address as relates to tbe Auxiliary Joint Stock Company, beg leave to report, that your Committee unanimously express their increased confidence in tbo practicability and ultimate success of tbo Auxiliary Joint Stock Company; and to promote tho full success of this organization, your Committee respectfully recotnmonel that those who have subscribed be re? quested t<> pay tho amount of their ro ?peotivo subscriptions in cash at once, or secure the same to the Secretary of tbia Society by their respective obligations, maturing in not more than sixty days, and that those members o! this Society and others who havo not subscribed, be requested to subscribe at onoe, and se? cure their subscriptions as above rocom mended. Your Committee farther re? commend, that the Secretary report to this meeting the amount of stock sub? scribed and seenrcd. After the report of the committee, President Hogood called upon the pcr Hons present ti> come up and subscribe to stock in the Auxiliary Joiut Stock j Compauy, subscribing himself for $100 I of stock.
