Vollung is now before tho people of Lotirons, from which, they m ty reasonably hopo to derive greater benefit than ;t successful County Pair, Tito fourth exhibition has been given, and from lt wo draw lib?ndnnt cv id?neo, that tho Intcr ?ftl ia Increasing?, and that it will yet become the prldo of upper Caroli na. From n report of tho meeting of Agricultural Society, it will be neon that un effort will bo made tiiirlng tho coming year to Impioxo tho grounds, Which one of our cit izens hus been public spirited enough to donato, by suitable btiil tlings etc. This is necessary not only for convenience, but asa pro tection t?stock, and other exhibits. Those who contribute can scarce ly hope to realize a prob!: on their contribution as an investment, for if wc may judge of similar enter prises elsewhere, tho less expense* that is attached, the more success ful the exhibition. A small amount from all fi lends of the enterprise, would easily raise Hie required amount, $1000, nnd then there need bc no further expense. Let thoso who are interested In the success of all classes of our peo ple, tho growth of business, mid permanent prosperity of this coun ty, work for this organization. Now is tho time while the good re tults of th? last Fair are fresh he fore us. Wc trust tho com i vi it ICM will find no difficulty In keeping alive thc enthusiasm, ami that (he im provements may be speedily mnde, .so that when John li. ( Jordan take's the robes of tho Vice?Presidency, Laurens may tender him such un ovation ns was given Cleveland in .Atlanta. It has been saul that tho condi tion of "roads, bridges and ferries, is an indication of the clzlli/.ullon of a community." A surer Indica tion of civilization is the position Which a community accords lo wo man. As tho world has ad va licet in civilization, so has woman'. place in life been elevated, nut?1 to day, she is recognized as man'. equal, mentally, morally, socially But tills idea of woman's elevation should not lead to a desire for po liticid equality. Ifer sphere, ii the world is as high, ns noble mu ns important as that of man, yoi tliey are clearly defined and tidier eut. A more scathing rebuke wa? nover uttered than when Xer.\<? in dispalr exclaimed "my men nr< become women, my women men.' With our progress in civilization new avenues throug which wo man can gain n livelihood aro be in"; opened. To-day she is admit ted Into positions which were for merly reserved for the sterner sex, and without reproach. Hill the time will nover como win n wo man can enter the groat workshop of the world and thore cope with m tn, nor can she enter tho arena of polities ami public debate with out tearing down Ibo wall which shields her and pollutes tho foun tain of her Strength. As reli gion, tho chief concern of morl ni?, when mixed willi politics only do? ?troys Ifs own power, so when wo man, who is considered a paragon of purity, attempR to roform poli tics by taking part, .she only weak en? the power of lier sex. From tho Inherent nature ol woman, mid the evident design of thu Creator, it was Intended timi her work should be in tho higher and holier sphere of the homo cir cle. Here lt is ber superiority over man shines' fourth preeminent. Here il |.?j that tho magic charm of pure mid lovely woman nets ns u potent factor in refining nnd eiva Hzlng tiie world. Not in thc for um, but at tho cradle; not in halls where laws uro made, but in the homo whore the minds of Immor tal being-: mid lawmaker* arc . made, Jf tho people of Sooth Carolina want a sepernte and distinct Agri cultural College, or if they want ono dozen such Institution, they can and will build them. There ls no doubt on this point; nt the same time, TIIF. ADVURTISKR takes the liberty of expressing tho belief that rather than expend more inonfty for colleges, the State could better all classes by improv ing the schools already eutablishod, and making fhem such schools ns tho young mon need. v -ha.nlle ?-"?."-?djffrj tliiiif-"*" "* IV BUFFALO BILL, tBy I.ord Alfred T. ney am, a* Alleged.] Thou long of hair, of MalfxaK form, Who* . i ruo unerring Alta omit brow Au l lilt tbc bounding tmffalo Aii<l ipllckly make it very warm Por Mm. 0 ?boil of bloody ?ceno*, Wh? > ! ishrd ?ii Lanie's rudest sUook Willi UK."
