The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1889-08-15

address from Capt. D. K. Norris, Presi-
dentIof the Pendleton Society, on behalf
of the Society, which was responded to
by the Master of the State Grange, Hon.
". X. Thompson. All of these addresses
were both eloquent and interesting.
The first essay was read by DR.. T. ].
Mckee, of Edge6eld, on 1.-THE preserya-
ton of land by terracing vs.. hillside
ditching." This was an exceedingly in.
teresting paper, and provoked much dis
cussion, ten or more of the delegates par
ticipating, every one of whom presented
some valuable suggestions. This discus
sion consumed the morning hour.
In the afternoon an essay on the subject
Of "Grape Culture and Wine-making"
was read by Mr.. J. J. Lucas, of Society
Hill, followed by another on the "Value
of cotton seed meal as food for stock"
by DR.. W. B. Burney, stste Chemist.
Both of these papers we're we'll prepared
and elected considerable discussion.
This closed the days session, and every
body retired to their homes looking for
ward to the morrow, which was to be the
big day of the occasion. Visitors contin-.
ued to arrived throughout the day, and
every home in the town as well as in the
surrounding country was doing its best to
entertain them.
Thursday morning dawned cloudy aud
with threatening rain, but this did not
keep the people away. at an early hour
every road leading into Pendleton was
lined with vehicles of every sort bringing
in the people, and when the excursion
trains reached there at 1o1 o'clock the
crowd in attendance was estimated at
from five to six thouBand people. The
clouds soon disappeared, and the day was
very pretty one, with delightful
mountain breeze blowing all day.
At 10 o'clock the joint meeting was
called to order by Pres. dent Humbert,
who introduced Congressman Cothran,
who, in most excellent address, dis
cussed the "Dignity of Labor" His
speech was very able one, and was full
Of practical and forcible thoughts. When
Col, Cothran concluded his address, Col.
T.. J. Moore, Of Spartanburg, read an
essay on sForage Crops" which he dis
cussed in very thorough manner. This
concluded the exercises for the day, and
those present went to the beautiful grove
that surrounds the Episcopal Church,
where the Stock Show was being held.
The Stock Show was the feature of the
day, and by 10 o'clock, at which hour the
exhibition began, the grove was crowded
with men, women and children, all eager
to get glimpse Of the fine stock, which
was exhibited in small ring that had
been staked off for the purpose. The
Young America Cornet Band; of this city,
and the Pendleton Colored Band dis
coursed fine music at intervals through
out the day.
