The annual State Fair was held in Columbia last week, beginning on the 11th and ending on the 15th instant. The crowd iu attendance on the great day, Thursday, while net quite as large as on the same day o! last year, was still of sufii cient size to constitute a considera ble multitude; and tie vast throng in the main building during the whole day made locomotion well- nigh impossible. All the depart ments were as good as last year, while the exhibits of horses, cattle, poultry and swine were superior to anything of the kind which has cv« r before been seeu iu South Carolina. The races were far better than usu abandon all sides favorable com ments could be beard on the ab sence of the fakers with their im plements of trade, who, iu past years, have reuaered the grounds so disagreeable to the ladies and bare contributed no much to smirch the fair name of the South Carolina Agricultural exhibitions. Colum bia had on her gain dress and her citizens did all in their power to contribute to the comfort of their many guests. The streets weie thronged with one conti n nous stream of people all in holiday attire, whose smiling faces showed them to be “ou pleasure bent.” Hacks aud busses were ruuuing iu every directiou, while the pretty uew street cars did much to enlivou the scene. Iu addition to the ordinary attractions of the Fair there w as aome entaiument at the theatre every night of the week, and the Ball aud German of the South Car olina Club aud the Governor’s Guards’ hop, were brilliantly sue eessful. Then there were meet iugs of the Wallace House, the Farmers Convention, the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, the Post master’* Association, the Traveler’s Protective Association, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, Ac., each one ot which attracted te the Capi tol its owu particular members. To go into a detailed accouut of the many handsome articles on ex hibition would be impossible. Mr. A T. tiarllee, of Little Rock, and Col. J. S, Richardson, of Sumter, exhibited some fine samples of corn. The quality and variety of the hay and grasses, as at our County Fair, showed a gratifying increase iu the interest taken iu this valuable iu< duatry, which may yet prove our aalvation. The bee exhibit of Mr. W. J. Ellison, of Sumter, was most in- toreating and complete. Samples of earthquake saud, attractively arranged in bottles, found a ready tale. The Jersey, Devon, Durham, Ayrshire and Holstein cattle were as flue as are to be seeu anywhere iu the United States. Dr. Berwick Legare bad on exhibition ten beau tiful pointer dogs all of which are entered in the American Kecnel Club book. The household depart ment was something grand and the display of fowls aloue was well worth the price of admission to the grounds. Taken all iu all, while the re ceipts were not quite as large as last year, owing to the exclusiou of the gambling machines which have proved heretofore a goodly source, of revenue, the Fair this j ear was juat as good as it has ever beeu be fore, if uot even better. The one thing which marked the oecasiou was the presence on the grounds of a number of pick-pockets who plied their nefarious trade iu the boldest manner. A dozen good detectives scattered over the grounds at the ■ext Pair woald have a most whole aome effect The idea of three or lour pick-pockets being so packed ki among the erowd of ladies and gentlemen in the main building that, at a preconcerted signal, they •oald all commenoe operations with reasonable chauces of success! From all accounts the workings of tlieee sharpen? must have been even mote audacious than those of the light fingered geutry of Few York, who lie in wait lor us unwary, un sophisticated Southerners when we visit the metropolis. Darlington county did her share In contributing to the exhibition, and her people were quite success- fbltoo,in carrying off premiums. Pint and foremost must be men tioned that won by Mr. F. M. Bogers, Jr., for the best tobaceo. Col. E. R. Mclver took a premium for the beat half-dozen cotton stalks, and four prizes for game chickens. Dr. J. 8. Garner sustained bis re cord by gaining first premium for the beet matched pair (one of each beet I The ground coveretf by these re- i single harness horse and the best commendations is so v:i«t as to combination horse. Capt. I’aul , pri'Clirlw the possilrility oftouc.bing Whipple’s single harness mu'-e took upon them now wi h any satisfac- first prize, ami his pair of mules the t>ou, afid in the future a more fitting second; his Holstein bull, between opportunity will l>e afforded the one and two years old, also took : A>'ews of discussing in lull each first premium, aud Mr. J. Edward’s measure which may be brought to heifer, 2 years old, won a prize. Mr. C. Mooney got a diploma for one of his fine n agon. Miss Julia F. Scbouboe w on a premium for the beat rug, and Mrs. VV. A. Law for the best pin cushion. So it will be seen that Darlington county did well. On the whole the Fair was a de cided success, and was certainly a most enjoyable occision for all who attended. In our opinion the exhi bitions grow lietter and better each year. The Agricultural Society held its annual meeting on Thurs day night, and their efficient ofii cers, in view of the valuable servi ces which they have rendered, were almost all unanimously re-elected. HURRAH FOR DARLINGTON COUN- ■) TY1 The State Agricultural Depart ment in the early part of the year appointed one farmer iu each coun ty iu the State to experiment iu tobacco culture. To each of these agents $50.00 iu money was given to assist him in making the ex|>cri- meut, and a prize was offered by the Department to the oue who, at the end of the y ear could show the best crop Mr. F. M. Rogers, J> , was appointed in Darlington Coun ty, aud the crop which be has raised is said to be extraordinarly fine—a statement which is, to a great ex tent, confirmed by the fact that Mr. Rogers’s tobacco not only took the premium at our County Fair, but also at the recent State Fail. This was due to two causes : the fer tility of our soil aud its adaptability to the culture of tobacco, aud the ceaseless energy aud marked abili ty displayed by our agent in his management of a crop, the details of which he was totally ignorant. The result is such as to make every man in the County feel proud. Re member there were 33 other agents in the State who were afforded the same opportunity at the start as Mr. Rogers. From what we have heard of his crop we believe that it will also win the juize offered by the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Rogers is enthusiastic on this .sub ject, aud has devoted much tune and attention to it He promises that when the final result shall have been attained he will give the read ers ot the News the benefit of his experience. To devote more attention to the cultivation of grain aud grasses, or to turn to the raisiug of tobacco, it this experiment prove a success, are the two most feasible alternatives which will present themselves to us, if wo should endeavor, by diversi fy iug the crops, to overcome the principal cause for the present bu siness depression. THE FARMERS’ CONVENTION. The Farmers Convention met in Columbia on Tuesday and Wednes day of last week, twenty-six Conn ties of the thirty-four in the State being represented. Capt. Tillman called the Convention to order iu a lengthy address, which was ot very much the same tenor as the seech es which he has b**eu making dur ing the summer. After electing officers the Convention adopted a preamble and a constitution which might have been copied from those adopted by our County Farmer’s association in October last, the similarity was so great. Ou the second day a plat form was adoptedj embodying the tollow iug plauks:^ The establishment of au AgricoUacal College and experi- mental stathMt, the election of the Board of Agriculture by the Fa. mer's Association, and the election of the Cocamissiouer by the Board, additional legislation in regard to fertilizers, looking to the increase of the phosphate royalty, and to the protection ot the iarniers trom fraud iu the weighing of cotton and from forest fires; and urging the Legislature to pass laws equalizing taxation, to make alterations in the tee bill, aud tu consider the subject of a Conslitutioual Convention. A resolution was passed by the farmers asking the members of Sta e Agricultural Society to meet with them, but for some reason uot y et explained the Society failed to respoud to '.he invitation. The Convention then elected the ten members who are to compose their Board of Agriculture, iu the event that the Legislature so changes the 1*7 as to coufer this power upon them. It was decided that a com mittee of three lie appointed wb 0 y «-— * —. shall be present iu Columbia dur- •ex) and for the best single harness ' iug the session of the Legislation to mare; he also carried off a prize for I urge the passage of the recommen- the best pair of horses.

A good many pur>ous have come to the News office during the past week and subscribed to the Dirl- Ington News, aud the Charleston Weekly Ncirs and Courier. Our people evidently know a good thing when they see it, aud they r. alize the fact that to obtain one of the best weeklies iu the United States together with their own county pa|wr for the small sum of 83.00 a year is surely a buigain in these haul times The Weekly Netc* and Courier contains twelve pages of reading matter, w here is to be fdhud all the imiMirtaul news of the world which has appeared for the preced ing week in that enterprising jour nal—the daily Hews and Courier. As this arrangement is au ex periment, it may prove to bo only temporary, so those who contem plate subscribing to the two papers are advised to do sb without delay. THE WALLACE HOUSE The Democratic representatives of the Legislature of South Caroli na in 1870, constituting what has since been known as the celebrated ‘ Wallace House,” in conjunction with the Democratic ticket elected at that time aud the officers of the House, held a reunion in Co Inmbia on the 10th instant, and formed thorns dves into a perma nent organization, with Judge Wal lace as President. The people of the entire State will be glad to know that this has been done. It is meet that in this way we should perpetuate the memory of tbe terrible struggle through which we were enaWcd to pass in the trying days of 1876, by reason of the tortitude, persever ance aud patriotism of tbe members of the “Wallace House.” Court Proceedings.

The above is the caption to an j editorial that has recently ap- pvared iu the DAItLINOTON NEWS, w hich is reproduced in full in this i!*Hue. It lias long been n standing com plaint that the schedule from Ibis s* ctiou of the State to Columbia is the worst known to any ot our peo ple. In fact, for our people at Ches terfield Village and in the County generally it is difficult to see how if could be made *any worse. At Chesterfield we are. compelled to get up before day in order to reach tbe train in time at Oberaw. At Flor ence the traveller must then lie over fourteen or fifteen hours aud git up again between midnight and day to start for Colombia, our people who live at or near Cheraw are not put to quite es much incoo- vcnlence as the other parts of the county, but for them the schedule is very bad. There is not. a person whohaab'en compelled to go to Columbia during the last several years that has not felt severely the want of some better connection. It is needless to say but few per sons ever go to Columbia from this section except from neces sity. We heartily endorse the views of our cotemporary the News, and hope that some better accommoda tions for tbe Pee Dee Section may be obtained by its efforts. The Columbia Register and also the Board of Trade of that city have given the movement a hearty en dorsement. It seems to us that it would be well for the citizens of the different sections interested to petition the railroad authorities in the matter. A Personal Incident. [Columbia Cor. Newa aud Courier.; A report spread over tlu city this morning that Col. A. P Buticr, commissioner ot agriculture, and Farmer B. R. Tillman had had a personal difficulty. It was report ed that blows hod passed. After vigorous efforts the re|>ort was trac ed to tbe following apparently au- thenic statement. The parties met at the Union depot at 9 o’clock this morning. Col. Butler going to visit a sick son in Aiken county, and Fa mer Tillman on his way to Edgefield. Col. Butlei had beeu i .censed at reimits w hich he under stood Capt. TiUman to have circu Utedyumi. when the latter approach ed and saluted him, he responded by giving vigorous expression to a decidedly unfavorable opinion of i be Edgefield leader. The latter, it is stated, made no rejoinder iu kind. As both uf the parties are out ot the city if. is impossible to leern more. Unclaimed Letters.
