The State Fair,

In tho excitement incident to q po-
Htical campaign it sleald not be for
gotten that the tenth annual fair of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society will be held in Columbia for
several days beginning on the 18th of
November next, and that the mama
gers are making every to ensure its
complete success. For several years
past the fairs have not been successful
owing to tho depressed condition Of
the State. Last year, however, tho
attendance was very large and tho
receipts were handsome, but the OK
hibits was not as good as the farmers
and mechanics Of tho State were capa-
bio Of making. Tho uncertainty of
getting tho premiums that wcro
awarded had something to do with
previous failures. But this year,
through tho appropriation made by
tho Legislature, tho secretary Of the
society feels authorized in assuring
exhibitors that all premiums will be
promptly awarded, those of five dol
lars and over being paid in coin, those
Of less amount in silvorwarc. The
