WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 24,1869
AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
The Telegraph and Messenger thinks the
Macon Fair has taught those who con
trolled it some valuable lessons for future
reflection. We condense the points made:
1. November Is the wrong month; Octo
ber the right one.
2. A committee of thirty scattered all
over the State is foolishness for a Board of
Management. Ten “ live ” men, a majority
resident at the place of exposition, would
be preferable.
8. A mtle race track takes up too much
available space, and should be shorn of its
proportions.
4. There shonld be but one charge for
everything under the patronage of the So
ciety. and that charge as light as possible.
5. “ The grounds and buildings being laid
out and prepared, should then be carefully
plotted, allowing an appropriate share to
each class of exhibits according to the
number of entries, and exercising a sound
judgment and taste in the order in which
the different classes are arranged, both in
the buildings and on the grounds. Each
of these alloted divisions and classifications
should be in charge of a special committee,
or a particular member of the Executive
Committee, who should be constantly on
the grouqid to supervise the reception of
goods, afid assist and counsel with exhibi
tors.”
6. Invited guests should be properly re
ceived and entertained.
7. The transportation to the Fair Grounds
should be better ordered. A double track
street railway is suggested.
Our experience at Macon though brief
and melancholy, was of sufficient duration
to warrant an endorsement of the above
specifications. We should likewise add
another suggestion, viz: that there be pro
vided before hand sufficient accommodation
for the great crowds which flock to any
central point of attraction like the Macon
Fair. Such accommodation being lacking,
thousands of people were put to most un
pleasant straits for lodging or board and
many were so discouraged that it will be
difficult for even Macon, generous and hos
pitable as she is, to win so many back to
her again. Besides, as we know, many
hundreds of people, appalled at the lack of
quarters and the hungry contest for even the
slightest repast, remained but a single day,
whereas they were fully prepared to remain
tilt the close. We are well aware that
much must be allowed for a novel ex
periment, but there should not be a repe
tition of this fatal blunder, if, as is
probable, Macou be selected as the perma
nent locality for our State Fairs.
The point made about the length of the
is a substantial one. The speed,
of horses or mules cm
MktiMppace of a quarter of
will not have to
BPrch a fearful circuit in order to
notable contribution in the way
of live stock.
The side-shows may do well enough iu
moderation; but In Macon they were car
ried, we think, too far. Vile sharpers were
openly plying their trade to trap the un
wary countryman or credulous negro;
and, if velocipede rinks cannot be patron
ized without the employment of Yankee
females in flaunting colors to display their
unseemly gyrations, why let them go to
the dogs and be doomed to them. We
venture to say that many ladies of the
South who vlsited^S*!*'“ tioh” at Macon
saw, fqp4h«rflrst time, ode of their sox in a"
’ ’position which Is revolting, 'or ought to
be, to every delicate sensibility. We are
uot given to prudishness, but there are
some things which ought to be put under
ban even by the management of Agricultu
ral Societies. True, they may lose a little
money by being circumspect, but they will
have done something for public modesty
worth millions of base coin.
We see that Solon Robinson, the patent
fly and mouse-trap man of Greei.ey’s Tri
bune, lias been sending his bulletins. He
thinks the Fair a “ pecuniary success, but
as an exhibition it is a failure." There Is
a modicum of truth In this, or rather there
was at the time we left. “ Horse-racing,”
he says, “is the ruling sentiment, and
whisky is more plentiful than food.” He
is not so far wrong here either. As for the
trotting matches, we think they are one of
the best features of any Fair; but it is a sad
thing to have an unlimited supply of villain
ous decoctions and an insufficiency of neces
sary food. Thus fhr, for the sake of chari
ty, we are willing to let surly Solon
off without a rasping; but when he, a pesti
lent and pig-eyed old martinet, essays to
poke fun at the ladles, dresses, we are
obliged to call him to order. He says, al
luding to the millinery embellishments of
the fair sex, “ Southern poverty has given
place to Southern extravsgance,” for
which he blames poor old King Cotton,
who is always bearing somebody’s misfor
tunes. We venture to say that Old Mouse
Trap was the only man from the North
who did not appreciate the beauty of the
Southern and the becoming ele
gance of their attire. Indeed, we know for
a certainty that others ofthe stranger guests
were ebullient with admiration and ecstati
cally declared in onr hearing that they had
never beheld so splendid and so lovely a
congregation of ladles, and that there was
nothing at the Fair which was so worthy
of attention as the powerful stature of Geor
gia men and the gladsome beauty and good
taste of Georgia women. The fact is old
man Robinson is naturally what is known
even in Vermont as a “ mean cuss.” He
would rather see a machine for making pop
corn in the millionth part of a half-second
thap the most adorable woman that heaven
ever blest the earth withal. Beside, he
evidently came to Georgia expecting to rub
his hands gleefully and pamper his miser
able soul qver our prostrate condition and
was disagreeably surprised to find that
Southern awn and women were not
the slaves, or suppliant paupers he de
sired them to be. Read Beecher’s sermon,
Solon, and go back to your patent mouse
traps! - , ,
Braomc.—At the Macon Fair, the emi
nent Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania,
concluded an Impromptu speech thus:
“You men and women of the South can
apply the words that burst from the Ups
of Byron, as from Alpine heights he looked
down upon Italian plains— '
“Ob, it Is a goodly sight to see
What Hcav’n bath done for this delicious land,
What fruits of fragrance blush on every tree.
What goodly prospects o’er her bills expand.’”
It was not from “ Alpine heights” the
“ burst” came nor was the allusion to the
“Italian plains.” Byron spoke thus of
Spain.
The New York Election.—The popu
lar vote in New York, In the late poll, falls
short 210,000 votes—the dead loss falling
on the Radicals. The Herald, in Its com
ment, concludes that “ by default the Demo
crats have gained absolute possession of
the State, and the consequence will proba
bly be a work of reconstruction and revo
lution in our city and State affairs as com
prehensive as the reconstruction
of the rebel States.”
Body Snatching —Some medical students
at Louisville, Ky., or parties employed by
the College authorities, attempted,4 few
nights since, to rob the Methodist cemetery
of a body deposited there. The sexton
llred at the marsuderS-tod badly wounded
oae of them. The deoapjads of science are
something to be considered, but even science
P»ay go to far. '
Army Reunions.— The New York Times
thinks army reunions, glorifying the victory
of the North over the South, “ serve a noble
end.” So they do, for bummers. The
“ noble end” of all such was plunder ; and
it is just as wSH to consecrate it as a virtue
before the future shall brand it as a crime.
Shocked. —The great moral North is
dreadfully put out because the Naval Secre
tary requires of the students of the Naval
Academy that they pursue their studies on
Sunday.—Sunday ought to be observed
hollly; but between frolics and studys the
litter is less sinful for the middies.
Poor Fellow.— The Rev. Mr. Beecher’s
salary is to be reduced to $21,000 this year.
He realizes, in addition, $12,000 per annum
from lecturing. So, the poor fellow is
about to starve on a yearly income which
would have supported the twelve apostles
for at least a decade.
Fr. Hyacinths. —At the express solici
tation of the Societe Francaise de Bienfais
ance, Father Hyacinths will, on the of
December, deliver a lecture for the benefit
of the poor. He refused at first, to lecture
in the Academy of Music, but yielded when
told that Bishop Hughes had spoteen there.
The Traitor Beecher.—A few years
ago, many persous were dungeoued at
Forts Lafayette and Delaware for senti
ments less “ disloyal ” than those of Par
son Beecher on Thanksgiving day. If
Beecher is right now was the South
wrong a few years back ?
Waking Up. —Even the negroes of the
the South Carolina Legislature begin to
see that State aid for railroads is a of
scampishness. Or is their new move an
adroit attempt to raise the price of subsi
dies ?
Sausage.—Mark Twain says that the
Sandwich Islands dish of plain dog “ is
only pur cherished American sausage with
the mystery removed.”

The Barnwell County Fair.
FIRST DAY’S’PROCEEDINGS.
Barnwell C. H., >
Thursday November, 18. j
The Fair of the Barnwell Agricultural
and Mechanical Society was opened to the
public at 12 o’clock yesterday, and was at
tended by several hundred persons from
Barnwell county, and the adjoining dis
tricts.
The grounds, embracing about 8 acres,
are located about three-quarters of a mile
from tiie site of thecourt house, (“Sherman’s
bummers” having destroyed that building
and a number of others,) and near General
Hagood’s residenee. Near the centre of
the grounds is a building for tbeexhlbition
of needle work, household and such other
articles as would suffer from exposure to
the weather. In front of and a short dis
tance from this building are the pens for
the sheep, swine and cattle. At the ex
treme end of the grounds are the stables. A
stand for the speakers and others and one
for the band, (a number of colored men
from Augusta,! with seats for ladles in ths
vicinity, were located near the western
of the grounds.
There was a
on .•'x!;lt;iti.>«S*M|
nearly equal to
State Fair, and by far superior. The exhi
bition of swine was much better than at
the StateEair. Among the entries the fol
lowing are worthy of special mention :
A bale of crab-grass hay, exhibited by
General Johnson Hagood. This hay was
well cured and will compare favorably with
the best North river hay. The General in
formed me that he produced thirty-five
hundred pounds of this hay to the acre.
A specimen of ramie fibre, exhibited by
Mrs. James A. Duncan. Mrs. D. received a
diploma for this specimen from the Tennes
see Agricultural and Mechanical Society.
Several crochet mats, made by Miss Julia
Brown.
Some embroidery wqrV, made by Mrs.
Angus PattccnOn, while in the sixty-fifth
year of her age.
A boiN? et > made of while writing paper,
by Mioa 9*ll ie Dunbar.

H. W. Hair.
Flue wheat, exhibited by Wm. M. Cave.
A fleece of wool, weighing sixteen and a
half pounds, from a merino buck, owned by
Colonel W. H. Duncan.
The articles and stock were, with few
exceptions, exhibited by citizens of thi3
county. There were no agricultural im
plements on exhibition, nor was anything
entered to compete for the premiums under
the mechanical department.
After the exhibition of the horses, the
committees were announced, and they then
proceeded to examine the articles upon
which they were to decide.
The Fair closed for the day at 8 o’clock,
and at night the anniial meeting of the
Society was held in the village, at the Pres
byterian Church.
The President of the Society, Major ,T. E.
Crossland, made a brief and pleasant ad
dress of welcome, after which the follow
ing essays, submitted by the committees
appointed by the President, under a resolu
tion adopted at a meeting some months
ago, were read:
