Wehad the pleasure of visiting Orange
burg during the week in which the Or
angeburg Agricultural and Mechanical
Association held its first Annual Fair.
Theexhibition opened at the Fair Grounds
of Association on Tuesday, the 2Sth
10ctober,b and closed on the following
{, bfiday;Ithe 81st. The attendance was
unusually large, and the articles on exhibi-
ton were numerous, representing every
departmentIof agriculture, horticulture,
horticulture, and the various arts, also
household articles and needle work, MS
well assapsdsnens Of the featherd tribe in
almost endless variety-all showing that
the people Of Orangeburg County are
fullyaliyeto the Importance of such ex-
hibitions.
The Association has purchased site
fcr"their eir'exhibitions, in an eligible local
ity, within the corporate limits of the
town, and have erected commodious
exhibition building, also suitable build
ings for the accommodation of stock.
Although their arrangements were not
fully completed at the time of holding
the present Fair, yet they were in suffi-
cient state of forwardncss to afford ample
accommodation to both exhibitor and
visitor.
The pc oplo of Orangeburg County owe
n debt of gratitude, not easily discharged
to the projectors of this movement, and
especially to DR.. w. F. Barton, the
President Of the Association, and the
Board of Directors, Messrs. Il. III. w.
Briggmann, L. r. Bcckwith, Samuel
Dibble, Paul S. Fielder, j. l.. Moorcr and
j. G. Wannamaker, who spared no excr-
tions to make the event complete sue
cess, which it proved to be in every sense
ofthe word. They were nnccasing in their
efforts throughout the entire exhibition,
to make the visitors both welcome and
comfortable, also in giving exhibitors
every opportunity possible to show off

From lhe neIena WorId.l

From the Helena world.l
The best evidence Of the hard times
financially amongst our people, came 10
our knowledge on yesterday. II seems
that two men residing in Walnut Bend,
in Lee county, disagreed about the
ownership Of a COW, and resort was had
to the law TO adjust the matter at issue;
and Walnut Bend being place where
lawyers cannot well subsis., recourse was
had to the legal lore Of Helena, and j.
NJ. Hewitt aud Greenfield Quarles we're
secured. There being less civil and Grim
inal litigation in Helena than has been
known for many years, Of course our ex.
Founders OF the law (being strapped)
seized upon the opportunity TO supply
the much needed stamps" SO they
each supply themselves With their COW
authorities" and take passage on the
Allin, for Walnut Bend; but soon after
their departure, each expecting TO bor-
row from the other enough TO pay his
passage. Hewitt asked Quarles il he had
any money.
Quarles replied, no.
newitt--Well, will tell you what we
will do; | have not got any money either,
and let us make this arrangement:
whichever one gets the most cash for his
fee, shall settle the passage on the boat
up and down.
agreed" said Quarles.
The Allin in due time arrived at Wal
nut Bend, and there left our COW attor-
neys," as the sequel will show them to
be very cowish. On arriving the law
yers assumed much dignity and affected
much legal learning Especially about
cows) and the litigants believed all they
had TO say. Suffice it to say, the case
was commenced before Esquire Dunn,
and be being strongly in favor of the
profession " being paid for their SER
vices, the two attorneys returned to
Helena icith the cop. AS Hewitt has
possession of the COW, and as Quarles
got fee OF FIVE dollars and paid their
passage, it may possibly give rise to an
other suit at law before one of the JUS
tees of the peace. Hard lawyers these,
and we would warn our people whenever
they disagree about a cow, to avoid

A confding contemporary relates the
following circumstance: Once a care
less man went to the cellar and stuck
the candle in what he thought was a
keg of black sand. He sat near it drink
ing wine until the candle burned low;
nearer and nearer, until at last the blaze
reached the black sand, and, as it was
nothing else but black SAND, nothing
happened.
