IT CAN BE DoNE.-lf it is worth while
at all to found State Agricultural Associa-
tion, action should be taken in the premises
as soon as practicable. 1t is only necessary
that the citizens of each district who are
interested should hold meeting at their re.
spective Court Houses, and appoint two or
more delegates to meet in convention at
Columbia, some time in the month of Au-
gust next, the least busy season.
The intelligent people Of Columbia would
welcome such body, and do all in their
power to promote its success. With this
view, would it not be well for the City
Council to set apart convenient lot as the
gift of the city to the agricultural interest OF
the State? 1t would cost her little, and
might lead to result more profitable to her
than all other sources of wealth combined.
Having secured suitable buildings at q
point so accessible from all sides, and so
agreeable, and permanent fund of some
hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand
dollars, State Agricultural Society will
have been founded on an efficient and last.
ing basis. Virginia has done this at her
capital, and other States did it before her;
why cannot South Carolinas
If the people generally, however, are not
ready to take the intiatory step in this i'm
portant movement, it can easily be done by
the energetic societies that have long been
in operation in several districts-the socie-
ties of Newberry, Anderson, Pendleton,
Union, Laurens and Fairfield.
A meeting of the citizens Of Abbeville
will be called next sale.day.-Abbevile

1t is well that there is one virture in his un-
