TO the citizens of Spartanburg, York, Chester,
I.aurcns and Ncwbcrry, we extend n special in
vitaton to our Fair-both as visitors and exhib-
itors AS they are our ncghbors. VIC make no
distinction between theirs and the products of
our own County.
The excuse that heretofore many of our :li-
zcns have made to "taking hand in anything
| looking to o general public improvement, has
been the situation of the country; the bad gov
ernmcnt burdensome taxes placed upon us by
thicving officials didn't know how long they
could stay in such country hadn't the spirit
,
il would pay no how where is the money in il?
Well, we have now, a Governor of our own
choice local officials from people, and
an honest government, almost az if by magic
now where is your first class croakcr? Whilst
most Of our citizens are confning themselves at
home making every effort to recupcrate our
worn lands, add some little attractions to their
homes and do something towards reconstructing
our social interest, would it be out Of time or
place to aid in building up this Association for
our mutual benefit? Other classes of men have
their cotton exchanges, boards of trade trades
unions; all for their own exclusive use and ben
eft and arc you SO suIe that you are the class
designated as hewcrs of wood and drawers of
water, that you fear to join in with an Associa-
ton which will advance you in the three depart
ments of intellectual, social and business?
Is it against your interest to meet here once
year, compare notes and rub intcllects together?
Out of SO many, some new and useful idea may
spring.
You have now, no school from which to learn
but that of experience Is there anything un-
pleasant in meeting your old neghbors or friends
who, perhaps, otherwise you might not meet for
years? because you live in the country is that
any reason why you should no: all come together
for n few days, or is il only for towns and cities
to have societies? SO let us come, one and
all. and have an old before the war-like" hand
shaking and social meeting Of all our people
Let see if there is not some good in the. .old
