THE MAYNING TINES. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12 1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. The gala week in the metropolis, provided by the citizens of Charlston for their country neighbors will soon be here. The SIth of this mounth it ,commences, and one whole week will be devoted to a round of sight seeing, pleasure hunting, and rejoicing. The occasion is to commemorate Charles ton's resurrection from the earthquake of August the 31th 1S86, and Charles tonians will do their best to make this celebration of the resurrection of their city outlast the remembrance of the earthquake itself. The old city <deserves this holiday carnival for what she has accomplished in the year following her great disaster, and the whole State will express its admir ation for the heroism of Charleston's citizens, and appreciation of an invi tation to the seven days carnival by -emptying itself iuto her gates. The watchword will be "On to Charleston," on the 31st of October. The celebrated Wallace House which will be remembered as long as the voters of '76 live, and longer, will hold its annual reunion on Wednesday might of Fair week. The meeting will be held in the large room of the agricultural building which was used last winter as a senate chamber. Mr. Jno. S. Verner a member of the his toric house, will after the business meeting deliver an address "the rise and progr-ss of South Carolina since 1876". Judge Wallace is preparing a history of the House over which he presided and it is probable that it will be read at the re-union. Judge Wallace is the presiding officer of the organization, Mr. Jno. T. Sloan is sec retary, and State treasurer, Bamburg is chairman of the committee on rangements for the re-union. At a recent aneeting of the farmers of Chester the following remarkable productian was a part of a declaration of greivinces adop ed by the conven tion. I contained much more of the same sort which we omit for the want of space. "We, the farmers of Chester County, in Convention assembled, dis claiming all desire for political prefer ment, and any but the purest zeal and laudable intentions; cherishing the utmost love and reverence for our country and State, and harboring mal ice against no man or class of men, purpose to scrutinize closly and to photograph accurately with our intel lectual camera those things "bad be gun, make strong themselves by ill" in our State polity. And, let us pre mise, that in our judgement, the "rough torrent of occasion"has enforc ed our assembling together, albeit some compare us to that spirit which Ovid describes as looking down on the stately palaces and crowded hav en of Athens, and weeping because she could find nothing at which to weep; while ~others like "summer birds" in the "haunch of our winter," sing the uplifting of day; others still, political Belials, '-whose tongues drop manna, and can make the worse ap -iear the better reason to perplex and dash the maturest counsel," tell "everything lies level to our wishes. A novel and interesting feature of jhe State Fair, devised by President Duncan, will -be a meeting of rep resentatives of the ante-bellum farm ers of the State. Colonel Duncan, in a letter publish ed in the News and Courier of the 10th, on the subject, says: I desire to have during the fair, say on 'Wednesday, November 9, a meeting of the old setalers of the State, a delegation of three from each county who have made farming their principal business for forty years. I * an but believe that such a meetrng will re sult in good to all who will listen to these old farmers discussing farming as it was a *half century ago, as it is to-day, and as it can be in the near future. Some valuable -expereices may be heard. which will throw .some light en our troubleda arcultural mat .thers. It may develop the fact that all the agriculturail glitter of the so-called by-gone days was not all pure gold, and that the farmers of the early days of this centnry had trouble., disappointments and failures that we have never dreamed of and that will* *make us think after all, our "lines are cast in pleasant places." There will be much food for valuabole thought suggested by the experience of members of such a meeting. Take a dele gate who has scored three-quarters of the present century and his life will have con tained a large majority of the great inven tions and improvements, not only in agri culture, but in all the arts and sciences of our age. As an illustration, when such a delegate was born Fulton's first ateamboat 'was only five year's old, and a very unde veloped affair at that. It took at that time three months, and sometimes six, to cross the Atlantic, and now a week is being con sidered a tiresome journey. When this del egate was 12 years old the first iron plow was made and the farmers of that day shook their heads and said; "It won't do; too heavy;" "regular horse killers." Now an old time wooden plongh stock would be a genuine curiosity. What an interesting exhibit a full line of agricultural tools and machinery used three-quarters of a century ago would make by the side of a well equipped farm f Oe delegate could tell us he was eighteen years old when he went to see the first train of cars that was run in South Carolina. Now, excluding some of her coast region, South Carolina has as many miles of rail road as any State in the Union in proport tion to her territory, Hie was twenty-one yeare old before there was such a thing as a lucifer match, and he had up to that time been using his cumbersome tinder-box. He had almost reached middle life before science took charge of electricity and the first telegraphic message was sent. He could tell us about the time when our grain crops were cnt with the hand reap hook. then the grass-blade, then thc grain cradle, then the reaper, and then the harvester, and now it would seem that perfection was reach ed in the Prairie lleapers that cut, thrash and sack the grain by one machine in the field. Colonel Duncan says a place will be arranged for the meeting on the Fair grounds. He requests the farmers of each county to meet as early as possi ble and select a delegation from them and forward their names to him at Union, S. C., giving the point at which thev will take the railroad. He hopes to be able to get reduced rates of1 transportation for them. Masonic Notice. CLARENDON LODGE, No. 198, A.-. F.,. M., Foreston, S.
