The PHOENIX appears this morning in
It's usual form and size. Our readers, we
are confident, will excuse the temporary
derangement. We shall endeavor to
avoid such accidents in future.
We are called upon to report the
death of Charles A. Darlington, one of
the most estimable young citizens of
Columbia. But few months since, his
family sustained q sad loss in the death
of his brother, d. B. Darlington, by the
falling of the wall at the fire in Gregg's
building, and by this recent aff1iction
have lost their last and only son. Charles
Carrington was universally respected for
his business capacity, and esteemed by
all for his fine qualities Of heart and
mind.
We have received letter from Mr..

ing house on Sullivau's Island,) relative
to an item published in the PHOENIX, of

amount for nights lodging. Mr.. o.

through friend of the boarder; and
that he simply carried out the agree
ment He furthermore declares that the
statement relative to measles in tho house
was incorrect.

plains itself satisfactorily to all. Our

COLUMBIA, S. c., July II, 1869.
SIR: The Executive Committee of the
South Carolina Agricultural and Mocha
nical Society having made the necessary
arrangements for the annual fair to be
held in Columbia, on the second
Wednesday int November next, now ap-
peal to their fellow-citizens to make the
movement success.
The development of the material inte-
rests of the State is conceded to bo o
matter of Importance. It concerns the
dignity as we'll rs the general welfare of
the people whom we represent that all
| their resources should be fully evoked.
We have broken fortunes to retrieve,
ruined industries to revive, and Just
influence to regain. TO accomplish this
end, the necessity is upon us, to move
out upon the industrial arena and secure
the reward of energy, skill and activity.B
AS means to this end, citizens of the
State representing that portion of its
capital and intelligence devoted to indus
trial pursuits, feeling that these interests
are inadequately represented in the pre-
sent State government, (hence the greater
necessity to cooperate among them
selves, have formed on Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, and established an
nual fairs. Its Executive Committee,
carrying out the order of the society,
have arranged premium list and pro-
vided for the annual fair.
But one thing remains to be done.
Under the present regime, the society
expects no aid from the State Treasury;
hence the necessity devolves upon the
committee to call upon the friends and
members of the society to make the re-
quired contributions of money, and the
committee feel satisfied that the plan
proposed for raising the necessary funds
will meet the approval of those concerned
in this important movement.
The committee will spare no efforts to
make the first annual fair of the society,
in all respects, useful and creditable.
They have inviteda a distinguished speaker
to deliver an address; they have prepared
liberal premium list; they have suit
able buildings and grounds prepared.
and it will remain for the contributors
to complete the work thus auspiciously
begun.
TO provide the necessary funds, the
following schome has been adopted, and
is commended to your favorable consi-
deration. 1t is earnestly hoped that you
may be disposed to cooperate with us
