The Annual State Fair.
We have received a copy of the
premium lists offered by tho Stato
Fair. Tho following is tho announc
ment of the secrotary :
"The U3J aunual South Carolina
State Fair will l>o held in Columbia
from Monday, Oct. 'JStli. to Friday,
Nov. lot, inclusive.
Entiles are absolutely free oxcept.
where otherwise stated, and all pre
miums regularly awarded will be
paid iu full. No part of tho pre
mium money is retained by the so
ciety on any pretext whatever.
The management seeks to oncour
ago the exhibition of only such an
imals and products as are really mer
ttions and are of utility and profit to
the people of tho State. This is the
one gieat ohjoet of tho Fair, and the
society is imbued with an ambition
to add a new zest and a new dignity
to agricultural and mechanical pur
suits and secure increase'.? due '.ice
and greater remuneration to those
r-T^aged in tlieni.
The premium list has been care
fully revised, and the society wishes
to call attention to the_ inducements
offered that will certainly attract the
bost exhibits that can he shown iu
every cla^s.
The achievement,* of the Stale
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
in promoting the development of ag?
riculture and il s allied industries
have never been fully appreciated
even by its best frionds; its possibil
ities for future usefulncB* in suggest*
ing and diuscminating ideas that will
materialize in improved crops, Jive
stock and farm practice cannot bo
overestimated.
Not unmindful of the entertain
inent of its patrons, the management
is endeavoring to secure a number
of new and novel attractions tbat
will both instruct and amuse. Tbooe
will bo announced later. All immor
al shows and devices for gambling
under any form whatever will be ex
cluded from tho grounds of the so
ciety; and any porson caught violat
ing any law of the Stato by practic
ing any gambling game or device
will be immediately arrested.
Realizing how largen part of <Jho
success of tho past exhibitions has
been owing to the work of the t'air
women of the State, the society ear
nestly requests exhibits in the sov
eral departments.
The large attendance at the Fair
offers a splendid inducement to man
ufacturers to make elaborate displays
of their works. On all the leading
railroads of the State entering Co
lumbia low excursions rates will be
given during Fair week, thus extend
ing facilities for visiting the Fair to
the people of every quarter of tho
State.
I Visitors to Columbia will find
much to entertain them besides the
Fair. Among the places of interest
may be mentioned J The State house, I
saylnm, penitentiary, cemetery, fac
torles, colleges, graded schools,
churches, etc.
Every effort Is made bythe city to
entertain her visitors, who are as
enred that they will receive a cordial
reception and spend a pleasant time.
The Fair is tienduoted for the bene
fit of the public at large, and their
moral support end active co-opera
tion are requested In order to mate
the 33rd annual Fair the grandest in
the history of tho Agricultural and
mechanioal society. ?
