Imaginable stories in regard to the different modes of
manual labor there employed
Senator Sawyer OF South Carolina was the next
speaker, and commenced by saying that he always
expected to find in Worcester county the best agri-
cultural exhibitions held in Massachusetts,, and he
had never been disappointed in finding Worcester
county the banner county of the state. In his boy
hood he did not see the farmers indulging in the

alluded to Massachusetts, the state of states. The
peaker also compared the productions of South
Carolina to those of the old Bay state.
Hon. Ginery Twichel of Boston was the next
