What Other Counties are Doing.

The Columbia Register says of the Atlanta
exposition:
Mr. w. ID. Woods, Of Darlington, is max,
ing efforts to get tho Agricultural Society o.
that. t.connty to take in hand tho collection o.
specimens of every product to bo obtained
there for tho Atlanta Exposition. lie says
tho natural presumption will be thnt we are
unable to do so, and nobody will settle in
a State that is supposed to bo SO barren OF
resources His letter has tho true ring and
nrgos contributions to tho cause, and ho pro.
poses to do oil in his power to old in the
matter. lilo says further: 'We have, unfor-
tunately, some thick headed, hide bound old
iogies who aro opposed to immigration and
every thing else in the wny Of enterprise and
advancement. With plenty Of labor and
small farms we could easily mako threo times
tho amount of cotton wo now produce and
mako provisions also. This mattor of buying
everything wo have to cat Is tho most
serious drawback that we hagoto contend
WITH" &C.
We are sorry to .say that Oconoo at this
timo has no organized agricultural society,
but it is mono the less tho duty Of our citizens
to SEQ to the proper representation of tho
products and advantages Of our county at
u
and may bc nado to promote largely tho fu.
ture interests and development of our county
and State. 1t will be union Of tho mineral,
manufacturing and agricultural interests of
the country, Every Industrial class and on.
terpriso will or should be represented, and
every inducenlent to tho influx Of labor and
capital into tho State should DO presented.
In its own interests every county has aud
should avail itself of this great opportunity
und wo trust our citizens will appreciate and
act in tho matter We feel suro 10 section of
the South can present moro ronl inducements
to draw labor and capital than tho Piedmont
section Of South Carolina, and no county in
that section can surpass ours. Our climate is
mild and healthy; wo enjoy great advantages
in schools, colleges aud churches; wo have
abundant water powers and IN incxhaustihlo
supply of timber; our soil is generous, grow-
ing probably, cotton, tobacco, rice aud all tho
cereals; our fruits can hardly DO excellcd in
variety flavor and keeping qualities, while tho
grape aud vino growing could 90 madc a
profitable industry. In mineral resources,
though undcrelopel, wo arc satisfied spcci-
mons of such valuo and variety could be col
lcctcd as to induce full test of their nature
and extent in this section. Now tho expo.
siton ut Atlanta will not bo confined to
Georgia nor tho South, nor tho United States
but both visitors and products Of the leading
civilized nations will bc gathered there
Such another opportunity for presenting our
advantages m1y not arise again in many
years and wc earnestly hope our people will
improve tho occasion. Wc will say
moro on this subject in special
issue hereafter, but in tho meantime
trust our readers will neglect no means of
exciting among our people proper intercs,
in this great exposition.

Commencement Day Closing Ex-
ercises of Adger COLLEGE,.

The commencement day Of Adgcr College was

most interesting commencement weeks ever
known to Adgcr College. The attendance Of
the town folks, The country people md strangers
from distance was greater .han ever before III
Walhalla. The large church Q.utheran) where
tho exercises were held was almost entirely filled
by the ladies and the gentlemen had to seek
resting places on tho outskirts. a more select
and cultivated audience could not bo found in
the State. Cultivation, refinement ana education
bcamed from every eye, spectacle gratifying
TO every one who has witnessed and worked in
the effort to sustain and keep open this college
influence in Walhalla.
This spirit Of intelligence was enliyencd by
music, offered by gentlemen of our own town.
Tho music was good md reflected great credit

of pleasing and sinstr1otipg and his sickness was
quite q diappointment to his many friends.
Prof. Legare delivered the anniversary ora
tion. Theaddress was ono Of tho most finished
and soholarly we have eyer had tho pleasure Of
hearing. Prof. Legaro is gentleman Of the
highest order Of cultivation and his address
was nothing moro than tho expression OF that
culture. His subject was education. The
speaker said that'man should be educated, not
specially, but generally. The whole man should
be thoroughly developed. A ono sided man
was monsrosity. The man with mind un-
folded was power and equal 10 any profession
or calling iu life. This great idea was developed
with great skill and enforced In such manner
that the address will do good. Reason, fancy
| aad wit were NIL brought fully into action by
tho speaker and his audience was delighted and
sorry only when he was through speaking.
Confcrring OF tho degrees was then gono
through Will, by Prof. Riley, the President Of
the college. This ceremony was impressive and

tho graduates to greater activity in tho future.
This was only their commencement. They were

After comforting the degrees Mt. StriLling, as

closed The fourth year of Adgcr College.
Tho college demands the united support Of all
Of orr pcopio. The work il has done is good,

satisfactory TO the trustees and patrons of the
college. Efforts are being made 10 more largely

Columbia is eighty four miles distant from

THE Observation-Disclosures Riley, of the United
States chronological Commission, says that tho
locuss now appearing in tho West and South
are two distinct broods; that ono is tho thirteen
year and the other is the seventeen year locusts,
the samo year since 1860. Riley says that these
locusts cannot do any damage except to young;
fruit trees, in limbs Of which they deposit their
eggs. IIo says the notion that these loousts
sting human beings is fillaoy; that species;
of digger wasp feed on these young locuets and
people have been stung by these wasps, from
which the belief has sprung that tho locusts
sting. Riley says TINT the loousts Will suddenly
disappear before long.
