STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The Charleston Ne,rs with an ability

nd urges the controlling reasons
which should lead to the formation Of
district ana State Societies. In tn :se
Jews we fully concur, and our read
re, we are sure, will endorse the

"When the. District: Agricultural
,ocirtles are established, we shall have
made the first step towards improving

within a reasonable time, except
Trough the medium Of the Asriyul-
ural Society Of the State. Such q
society would also encourage our

= We also fully endorse; the view that
these industrial organizations should
