At a negro convention in Atlanta, on November 12, the speakers urged the negroes not to give their names to the census takers, in order that the number of Democratic Congres sional Representatives may be dimin ished.

No oue who failed to witness the grand display which took place in Columbia last week can begin to realize what a great State SouiR Carolina has be come. It would be impossible to convey in mere words, an ade quate idea of the exhibition. The display of machinery was particularly fine, while the horses and cattle were the won der of all the spectators. The crowds in daily attendance were simply enormous, and the rail roads leading into Columbia were taxed to their utmost to accommodate them. Everybody was in a good humor, however, and everybody had a good time. Year by year these exhibitions lave improved in the number and variety of their attractions, until they have come to be re garded as the occasion for the annual gatherings of the farm ers from every section of South Carolina. The management deserve the greatest praise for the good work they are doing, and the high standard of effi ciency to which they are rais ing these exhibitions. That of last week could not have been surpassed by any other State in the South. The management took a long step forward when they refused to license the fakirs and gamblers who form erly infested the grounds, and the absence of these gentry this year contributed, in no small de gree, to increase -the pleasure and comfort of those attending the Fair. Let the authorities take another step next year, anc abolish the horse-racing. For several years past they have not even had the excuse for it that it added to the exhibition, for the races have degeneratec into regular farces, and those who went on the grand stanc last week could not help feeling that they had wasted their money. By all means let the horse races be done away yith To the unusual success which characterized the Fair this year no County contributed more than Darlington. No County sent to the exhibition a larger or more enthusiastic crowd o its citizens, and to no other was there a larger number of pro miums awarded. The horses from Darlington were the ad miration of all beholders, and cheer after cheer went up from ten thousand throats as some Darlington man would be seen speeding around the ring be hind his beautiful steed. “Dar lington’s pets,” the Guards performed their part in the mil itary display with their usua soldierly bearing, more than one of their number receiving honorable scars in the grea; “sham battle,” which, by the way, was a magnificent specta cle. But the noblest prize which Darlington carried off was the election of one of her most distinguished sons as the Presi dent of the State Agricultura' and Mechanical Society, under whose auspices these annua Fairs are held. To be chosen as the head of this Society is in deed an Honor, and one which in this instance was most worth ily bestowed. Of all the compli ments which have been paid our esteemed fellow citizen, Col. E. R. Mclver, this is the most gratifying to him and to his friends. Under his able ad ministration the society cannot fail to increase its great success of the past, and to enlarge its sphere of future usefulness. is )e expected, therefore, that all the Sub-Alliances, at their next meetings, will take such act'on as will endorse the stirring words of President Stackhouse in no uncertain way. The war las just fairly begun ; by the time it is ended we hope to see the “Trust” buried so deep that its very name even will remain only as a shadowy remembrance of an evil that will be past and gone forever. YV&ua- proved methods, mean and ap pliance, etc., may be dissemi nated practically and effectually among the people. Far too lit tle know of agriculture as a science or art; but much of what has been long and well estab lished as truth has not been practiced by our farmers, be cause they have not seen it illus trated or its utility clearly prov en. Let us have the institutes to be conducted as a part of the new experiment station, and in connection with the State agri cultural department.

The machinery for successfully opposing so power- a monopoly as the “Jute Rust in Cotton [Southern Cultivator.] Mi ch has been said recently in the public prints about rust in cotton, and in the spring there was a general complaint issued against blight, as the destroyer of the apple crop No doubt these enemies to the fanner have been busy enough in many places, for a number of the rusts or uredineee and the blights, or ustilaginese, are fear fully destructive, and I have seen much of their work this summer in the grain fields and on the pastures, but I think most of the injuries to cotton and apples, as referred, are due this year to minute insects. These insects are compara tively new-comers, or rather their relatives were hardly known in this section ten years since. They have probably been imported largely with exotic K laats and fruit Northern nurseries. The * ttack on cotton charged to rust is largely the work of a small mite, or what is called North, the “red spider,” so well known and so troublesome to all florists there. The loss of our apple crop through this section is due to a minute beetle, well known North and W*e8t as a most dreadful enemy to the apple grower, but hardly noticed among our nur serymen until the last few years. Its ravages, which have been very sweeping in our part of the State, have been ascribed to blight. Both of these insects are well known to American entomolo gists; their modes of attack nave been fairly described, and remedies have been suggested for destroying them and reduc ing the heavy losses they occa sion. It is top late in the sea son now to describe the enemy or to prescribe remedies with any beneficial result.
