THE STATE FAIR,

The eighteenth Annual Fair of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society is now
recorded among the events of the past. 1t
was held in Columbia on the 9th, 10th, 11th
and 18th inst, and as to its success there
can be but one opinion, and that is, that
the Agricultural and Mechanical Society
may well feel proud Of their exhibition.
The exhibits this year compare favorably
with those Of previous years. The attend
ance was fairly large, especially on Wednes-
day and Thursday. The usual gang Of
Fakirs, who at these annual fairs always
reap haryast with their different games of
chance, were made conspicuous by their ab-
sence. It was generally remarked that al
though these gamblers were nuisance and
q mems of relieving our unsophisticated
country brethren of their loose change, still
they made the grounds wear business-like
and lively appearance that was in a meas
ure lacking at this fair. The horses
and cattle this year were unusually fine,
and seemed to have been the attract
ion for majority Of the visitors. The US
ual exhibits IN machinery, fancy work, ac-
rlcuitural products, etc., were to be seen.
OF course the race course was well patron
lied. Clarendon was well repretensed by
both her sons and daughters, but we are
sorry to say she had nothing there to show
to the people of the State that she is prog
ressive and industrious county.
A full account of the fair is given on the
4th page.

To Meet the Charge Scuarely.

The letter of Farmer" published in the
TINES of the 3rd inst, seems to have at
tracted considerable attention, especially IN
Charleston. To the Nc,cs md Courier and
the business men of Charleston the charge
is astounding and seems to be almost be-
yond their comprehension, We are glad to
note in this connection that both the Ne,cs
and Courier and the Charleston Exchange has
shown disposition to instiSate proceed
ings to investigate the charge, with the III
innate object ofmeesing it fairly and square
ly. There can be no doubt that the heavy
DOSAGE in weight of cotton shipped to
Charleston is injuring the commercial rep
utation of that good old City. It is not on
ly the farmers who complain of this loss in
weight, but our merchants, from the small
est to the largest. The following CORES.
pondence between Capt F. W. Dawson,
editor of the Ne,cS and Courier, and the edit
or of the TINES, indicates that Charleston
means to ferret out the black sheep in her
commercial fold:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1886-11-17

ped from the Ne,eS and Courier Of the 18th
inst:
We suggest to farmers everywhere IN
South Carolina, who have found that,
their account sales of cotton in Charleston,
they have been credited with less amount
of the staple than the weight at the time of
the shipment that they send the name Of
the factor. the number Of bales shipped, and
the date of the sale to the Charleston Ex-
change or to The Ne,cs and Courier. Every
transaction will then be promptly investi-
gated.
The reports concerning the loss of weight
of cotton on shipments to Charleston are
undoubtedly injurious to the trade of the
city, but they cannot be disproved unless
such facts are given as will enable each
shipment to be traced and the transaction
scrutinized from beginning to end. Farm
ers who send the information desired will
benefit themselves and do justice to Charles
ton. Nowhere is business conducted more
strictly and honorably than in this city, in
spite Of the statements to the contrary, so
commonly made for tee benefit Of other
markets. Charleston has no cause to fear
the light, and invites the fullest inquiry in
to commercial ways and means n the city.

To the Editor OF the Times,
Dear Si-:-I published in tire Ne'cs o,sd
Courier to day some extracts from a letter to
your paper, in which it is charged by a
Farmer" that there was loss Of weight,
amounting to seventy four (T4} pounds on
seven bales of cotton, which were shipped
to, an sold, in Charleston.
At a meeting of the Charleston Exchange,
which was held to-day, a resolution was
unanimously adopted requesting me to as
certain for the Exchange the name of the
farmer who shipped the cotton in question,
the name Of the factor who sold it, the date
of shipment, and all other facts connected
Herewith.
In compliance with the request OF the Ex-
change, respectfully ask that you viii give
me the name of your correspondent, or as
certain from him the particulars which are
asked for, the object being to meet the
charge squarely, in order that the whole
truth may be made known, whatever it is,
and the reputation of Charleston for fairness
and good dealing be vindicated promptly.

CARE OF LAMPS.
How They Can BE Made IA Luxury Instead
OF Being Nuisance.


of Being Nuisance.
OF all misunderstood things in daily
life, the use of the kerosene lamp
probably stands at the head. First
lamp was bought and fitted for use.
and then filled day after day, and after
a longer or shorter period does not
give as good light as it used to; then
come complaints to the oil man or
grocer about the quality of the oil,
when alittle reason and judgment used
would remedy the fault and remove
the cause of complaint. If persons
using lamp would remember that the
lamp Is II machine combining the
furnace and pump, and endeavor TO
learn the principle of using oil, much
trouble would be saved, for while no
one expects to use large machine
without learning how to work it. any
one can use lamp. Now, the wick is
the pump to bring oil from the fount
to the blaze, and as there is ALWAYS
more or less dust and dirt i'm the oil.
the wick soon becomes clogged up and
can not pump oil fast enough for
good light, so complaint is made
the cause. Then, as we burn oil out,
the lightest parts burn, and leave the
heavy oil, and as il is filled day bv dav
the oil gradually gets so heavy that the
draft is not strong enough to pump il
up, and then the oil should be all
turned out of the lamp and il re-
filled with fresh oil. Then the
burner, after time, gets gummed
hn oil q, -
and causes smoky, uneven light that
is very veXatious. / have had burners
brought into my store condemned, and
new one wanted, when by two min
utes' work they were made rs good az
new. Then when the wick needs cut
ting, some scrape ii off, others cut il so
uneven that it makes poiuty blaze
which so provokes one that he wants to
condemn it. OF little reason and
thought were used i'm the everyday life,
we would soon find that lots of our dis
comforts would be very easily over
come and banished but things 90 on
year after year, with no attempt to inn
prove them.) But to resume, the
burner is provided with great num-
Der of small holes to provide air. to the
end that perfect combustion may take
place, and not to collect dust and dirt
until they are clOgged up, and
smoky, bad-smelling light is the result.
Now if in using Kerosene we fiji the
lamp up with white oil every day, and
once week empty back the oil i'm the
lamp and use a new wick, cut even and
true, once a week or two weeks, and
be sure the lamp burner is clean, and a
clear, nice polished chimney used, we
will find the Kerosene lamp is cheap
and great luxury. and not, as is often
the case, a necessary nuisance which
has to he used for lack of any thing
better. For a little care, daily, i'm using
lamps, makes all the difference be-
tween luxury and nuisance e,
