The races gave rise to considerable ex-
citement, and the successful contestants
were greeted with lusty shouts by the
spectators. AS a rule, the driving was
good and the reins were handled skillful-
ly. No serious accidents happened,
though two negro riders we're thrown in
the running race that completed the pro-
gram of the day. Neither seemed much
hurt, though the escape of one, who was
thrown head1ong over his horses head,
was marvellous.
A short intermission was given at
about 1:30 o'clock for dinner aud we join
ed kind friends around bountiful
spread, after which the races were resum-
ed and continued until about o'clock.
The people then scattered to their homes,
and the general verdict was that the
show had been success, and that the day
had been pleasant one.
The Pendleton section Is famous, too,
for its fair ladies and handsome men, and
it was our good fortune to meet many Of
them while there. We willingly bear
testimony to the truthfulness OF the many
plimentary remarks we have heard
about them.
A few words about the Pendleton Far
mers' Society, which manages the Stock
Shows, will prove interesting. The Socie-
ty was organized in 1915, and the Consti-
tuition declares, "The objects of the Socie-
ty shall be the promotion and improve
me mt of agricultural and rural affairs.
Their attention shall be confined to these
objects" The officers of the Society at
Griffin Vicc-President, Josias D. Gail
lard Secretary, Robert Anderson !;
Corresponding Secretary, Joseph Van
Shanklin. The Society met monthly and
some of it's members read essays on SUBJ
iects bearing on the objects Of the Society.
We were shown valuable pamphlet,
printed i'll 1920, containing the Constitu-
ton and Bye-Laws of the Society and
containing also q number of essays on
agricultural topics. The pamphlet is the
property of DR.. P. H. Z. Sloan, and is
highly priced by him. Very soon after
it's formation the Society originated the
Stock Shows and they have been contin-
ued up to the present time.
The officers Of the Society at present
are as follows: President, Col. D. X.
Norris; Secretary and Treasury, Mr.. Geo.
e. Taylor; Corresponding Secretary,
Mr.. o. A. Bowen. The following consti-
tute the Executive Committee: M. M.
Hunter, J. G. Stribling, II. S. Trescott,
J. D. Smith and ]. J. Sitton.
Thos. G. Clemson was member Of this
Society, and in 1866 committee, Of which
he was Chairman, issued circular ask
ing "for aid to found an institution for
Thus it will be seen that for many years
Mr.. Clemson had cherished the hope Of
having an Agricultural College founded
in South Carolina, hope which is now
on the eve Of fultillment.
Our thanks are due and hereby tender
ed the officers of the Society for their
kindness in assisting the writer to pro-
cure such facts as he needed on which to
base this report.-J. K. H., n anderson
