fayors the establishment of the whip
ping post in South Carolina We vel
come so able Il journal to the ranks
of those prpers in the Safe that have
been advocating this thing for years.
If we could adopt some such cheap
mode Of punishment as the whipping
post for our petty criminals it would
lie a great saving to the taxpayers,
whose interest should be consulted
in preference to the feelings OF the
thieves who crowd our. courts -
Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
There is truth in every line OF the
above, and we don't believe thera is
a really honest ,pan in the State but
who will endorse the item. But from
the delicate way the question has
been handled by our Legislators here
tofore one wouldinfer that they were
afraid that the time might come
;round when they would be brought
MP to receive their share OF the whip.
Better luck to the act when it is
again discussed. The chain gang is
necessary, or the penitent;ary will
have to be doubled in size every few
wears.

In very short while the agricul-
tural fairs will be held throughout
the country. The Kent County
Agricultural Society will begin Sep
TENDER 21st, and last three DAYS.
The grounds on which this exhibit
ton is given is located near Chester

offer fiattering purses for the racing
department, while special induce
ments are extended for exhibits.
The Delaware State Fair will be
held at Dover, September % to 80.
and October LIST. This fair has made
reputation that has gained for it
an increased attendance at each ex-
hibition. The premiums are so lib
eral that every department will be
filed to overlooking. The purses
offered for trotting, running and pac-
ing will unquestionably draw to-
gether one of the best fields of
horses ever before seen anywhere.
After this comes the seventh an
nual fair of the Cecil County Agri-
cultural Society to be held at Elk
ton, Md, on October 5, 6, 7 and s.
Seven years of unusual prosperity
has given this fair the title of second
to none in the country. Many rad
ical changes have been made in an.
ticipation Of this falls exhibition
and the managers have determined
to make it the browning effort. The
premium list is large and varied
and like Dover, will draw together 6
large field of the finest horses to b,
obtained, as far as money goes as al
inducement.
The Oxford Agricultural Societ,
will open the gates for their fall fai

October 1st This Society, Will,
small, yet it gives truly enjoyable
exhibitions, and invariably ends u,
with a fat treasury. Many specia
features will be offered exhibitors
and their racing program will not b
devoid of great interest.

IT is very evident that the old
est candidate in the Democratic
family has been chosen as the stand
ard bearer of that party. In the
beginning of the canvass we ex-
pressed ourselves as not favorable to
old man, and worn-out party SER
wants, but the majority of the wise
Soions at the convention deemed
the oldest the most fittest. As it is,
the supporters and admirers will
have to put forth their efforts to Sc
cure the result desired, or else Hof-
fecker will be the next Governor.

in nomination are of one party. The

as soon as Biggs was nominated, it
