THE ADVERTISER.
Edge efield, s. c., April 20, 1871.

Let us Have au Agricultural Fair.
Nearly every District in South CARROLL
ma, we believe, has an Agricultural So
ciety and an Exhibition in the fall of
each year. And these Associations and
Exhibitions under properdirection, have
not only fine indust trial influence. but
also fine social influence upon the .peo-
pie by bringing them occasionally togeth-
er. We hope to see an Agricultural So
ciety speedily established in old Edge
field-and an Exhibition, at the Court
House, in October next. Who will set
set the ball in motion? Let, us hereafter
steer clear of so much political agitation
and so many political mountebanks, and
meet together more to consult about the
moral and material interests of the coun-
try. In no respect would the advantages
of District Association and Annual Ex-
hibition be more potent than in giving
courage to our desponding farmers. and
in exciting noble respect in the minds
of the young men of the District who
were reared in anticipation of career Of
wealth and opulence. This accomplished.
these young and disappointed men will
hold politics secondary to business, and
consequently matters social and political,
Will run decidedly more smoothly. "sa-
tan always finds some mischief for idle
hands to do" md to tnis fact may be
traced much of the turbulence Of the
times.
So let us meet together, from all quar-
ters. in October next, and bring with us
our finest stock, and best field produce,
and fruits. and flowers, and vegetables.
and articles of domestic economy and
accomplishment. And talk about such
questions as "small farms" and "upland
tile draining" and "hogs and pigs" and
"the best thing for healing and softenine
the teats of cows" and "compostheaps," !"
and the collection of fertilizers and
the application of top-dressing," and
"subsoiling'' and "sheep-raising," and
"sheep-shearing" and "tho price Of
wool" and '.the determination ofmolcs,"
and steam threshinS machines" and
steam plows," &c, e., &c. Who sec
onds the motion? 80

At meeting of the Board of Directors
of the South Carolina Monument Associ-
alton, held in Columbia, November 20,
it was unanimously resolved, that Ba-
zaar should be opened in Columbia, on
the3rd day of May, the proceeds Of which
Bazaar shall be used to aid in the erection
Of Monument to the Confederate Dead

more good can be done by 4 combined
effort of this kind than by any individ-
ual exertion, however well directed, we
earnestly appeal to the women Of the
State to help us in this work. Up to this
time, every call from the AS ociation for
aid has been most generously responded
to, both by South Carolinialis residing
outside of the State, as we'll ns by those
who are among us to see the progress
OF our work. Being convinced, the re-
fore, that we have but to represent our
cause, for all to contribute gladly to its
success, we ask the public interest in our
behalf.
Tables will be assigned to each Dis
trict, and Committees appointed TO re-
ceive contributions. We horc that these
contributions will be large and that eve
" District will be largely represented.
Arrangements will be made with the
various Railroads and Express Compa-
nies, TO pass all articles marked, Mon
ument Buzaar," free Of charge.
Parties sending boxes alp requested
to put the name OF the District from
which they come on each box.

Douglass declined General Grants invita-

San Domingo Comissioners was to be
found in very distinct understanding

will tolerate no negro equality at her Ia

He has his pettifogging Attorney
General at work preparing legal opin-

GeneIei is an ex-rebcl whom GRANT has
picked up to do whatever work may be
required of him. There is not lawyer
or a Crast in the United States that has
the slightest respect forshis -legais siews
as officially given, His usual practice
seems to be To first ascertain what
GRANT wants to do, then to give it a5 his
opinion that GRANT has authority oflaw
for doing it. Instead Of giving the
President legal advice, his business ap'-
pears to be simply to hunt up the best
excuses he can find for the President do

In addition to having the Attorney
General thus clear away the legal OBJ
structions from his path, GRANT is send

GRANT seems to have fally and finally
determined that the Southern States
