CoLuxsIa, S. c., July 14th, 1869.
Sir: The Executive Committee Of the
S. G. Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety. having made the necessary ar
rancements for the annual fair to oe
held in Columbia, Oh the second Wed
nesday in November next, now appeal to
their fellow citizens to make the move.
ment success.
The development of the material in.
.eres,s of the State is conceded to be q
matter of Importance. 1t concerns the
dignity as we'll as the general welfare Of
the people whom we represent that all
that all their resources should be fully
evoked! We.ha broken fortunes to
retrieve; ruined industries to revive,
and a just influence to regain. TO ac'
complish this end, the necessity is upon
US. to move out upon the industrial
arena and secure the reward of Energy,
Skill and Activity. -.
As a means to this end, citizens Of the
State representing that portion of its
capital and Intelligence devoted to in
dustrial pursuits, feeling that these in
te1ests are inadequately represented in
the present State government, (tence
the greater necessity to cooperate
among rhemselveS) have formed an Ag.
riculeural and Mechanical Society and
established annual fairs. Its Executive
Committee, carrying out the order ol
the Society, have arranged premium
list and provided 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
propo, cd for raising the necessary FUNDS
will meet the approval of those con
cerned in this important movement.
The Committee will spare no efforts
to make the FIRST annual fair of the So
eiety in all respects useful and cred,
table. They have invited distinguished
speaker to deliver an address, they have
prepared liberal premiuu list; they
have arranged to have suitable buildings
and grounds prepared, and it will re-
main for the contributors to complete
the work thus. audiciously begun.
To provide the necessary funds the
following scheme has been adopted, and
is commended to your favorable consid-
Grafton. 1t is earnestly hoped that you
may be disposed to cooperate with Us
