V(1E ROBESO.\' COU\TV FUR!
'THE Sixth Annual Fair of the Robeson County Agri-
i cultural Society, will be held at RED SPRINGS, on
WeJne.'^day. Thursday and Friday, the 21st, il2d and
JSd Jays of November next. The friends of Agricultu-
r»l improvement, in whatever branch of industry they
may be engaged, whether their scale of operations be
large or small, are again called upon and earnestly so-
'.icited to co-operat« with the officers of this Society in
promoting the success of our approaching Fair. Agri
cultural Societies have aided very powerfully in the de-
Telopment of the Agricultural, Mechanical and general
progressive interests of our country, and should be
warmly sustained by all patriots and lovers of improve
ment. Our Annual Fairs have contributed much in
‘timulming effort for improvement in the results of hus
bandry: and it cannot be questioned that much good has
resulted from the encouragement thus afforded by State
iud County associations; for aside from the mere pecu
niary value of prixea, a spirit of active emulation has
ibereby been awakened; and they have been the means
jf bringing into notice the resulta of improved culture,
•.hereby leading others to adopt the methods by which the
ine •*p«cimens of produce and stock have been obtained.
The great improvement manifest in the appearance
wi productiveness of our farms, since the organization
>'.ate and County associations, must satisfy every
observer that they exert a powerful influence
fjt J •i. and that our Fairs are something more than
me.-e*: ws for amusement and to gratify sight-seeing
ciirjiity.
L-.e'i are social gatherings where new acquaintances
ire fjriued. where petty animosities are forgotten and
where the bonds which unite us as a people are strength-
cneJ.
"e ho^-e the Farmers, Mechanics and Artists of our
C. .n:y will fully eust iia their character for energy and
enterprize at the approaching Fair. The ladies, tre
r. r. will not allow it to be said that they have been
waDiinp in their du'y, therefore we confidently expect
F^ rri'; Hall to be eljj^ .ntly furnished.
The CoQxoiittee laKss great pleasure in announcing
the Annual Address will be delivered by the Hon.
(.1. Shepherd, Sister counties are respectf'illy soli-
:ei to co-operate with us and eompete for Premiums.

lF/y the Shoe Pinches.—A pamphlet has late
ly appeared of peculiar interest to that vast mul
titude of our population who are the victims eith
er of corns or of expensive corn doctors, and who
suffer, as some poet has suggested, from a style
of bunion which is not altogether conducive to
“Pilgrims’ Progress,” It is translated from the
German by a young Edinburgh physician, and
published with the following title: “Why the
Shoe Pinches; a Contribution to Applied Ana
tomy. By Hermann Meyer, M. D., Professor of
Anatomy in the L^niversity of Zurich, Translat
ed from the (German by John Stirling Craig.
Edinburgh: Edmonston and Douglas,”
Dr. Meyer, the author, is pronounced one of
the highest continental authorities on Physiolo
gical Anatomy, who has published an important
general text on that science, as well as geveral
treatises oa the structure of the toot and knee.
In the discussion now under consideration he has
already been preceded by Peter Camper, who, in
the last century, wrote a paper “On the best Shoe,”
and who zealously but ineffectually urged that
the foot gear of man was quite as important a
topic as the shoeing of horses, to which so much
attention is given. Certainly the needless suffer
ings which men and women endure from badly
cut and ill-shaped shoes cry aloud for a reform.
Against the prevailing pattern Profe.ssor MSyer,
in his capacity of anatomist, utters an earnest
protest. The cut of a shoe, says the Professor,
is not, as the cut of a coat, a matter of indiffer
ence. “When Fashion prescribes an arbitrary form
of shoe, she goes,'' he asserts, “far beyond her
province, and, in reality, arrogates to herself the
right of determining the shape of the foot.”
In his opinion the shoemaker ous;bt not only
to produce a shoe that does not pinch^ but a shoe
so constructed that it will give to a foot distorted
by the pinching it has borne already, fair chance
of a return to its right shape, and full possession
of its power as a means of earrying the body on
ward, He tells that, in measuring a foot for shoe
or boot, the first thing to be considered is the
place of the great toe. Upon this toe, in walk
ing,. the weight of the whole body turns at every
step; in the natural foot, therefore, it is in a
straight line with the heel, A central straight
line drawn from the point of the great toe to the
middle of its root, if continued, would pass very
exactly to the middle of the heel. By the mis
fitting boot commonly worn the point of the toe
is pressed inwards, the root outwards.
The practice adopted by many of having a last
made of the exact size and model of the foot is
condemned by Professor Meyer, if the foot has
been previously injured in consequence of wear
ing ill-fitting boots or shoes. If a cast be made
of a distorted foot and a boot fitted to that, it is
bad, because thereby the distortion is confirmed.
It would be much bettor, therefore, says the Pro
fessor, so to form the boot that the conditions of
healthy walking are allowed for, and the bones, at
least to some extent, can gradually right them
selves. To a foot shortened by distortion he
would fit a shoe adapted to its healthy size. But of
a pair of boots made so as to content the eye of an
anatomist, who knows what work is done by every
bone, the main characteristic is, that when they
stand side by side, with their heels in contact,
the inner margins of the front part of the soles
are along the whole edge corresponding to the
sides of the great toes, also in contact. If it
be desirable to point the toes they must be
pointed only from the outer side, after the place
of greatest breadth in the foot has been proper
ly resp«cted. A certain sense of a turn inward
belongs to the shape of boots so made, but if they
fit perfectly they will ensure to the foot the ut
most ease aad power; aa their shape is of the or-
dinanse of nature they are no doubt really as ele^
gant as those of which the pattern is a bootmaker’s
invention.
Dr. Meyer says that two or three persons in
Zurich have had their boots made on these prin
ciples without exciting special remark—so imme
diately is the propriety of the change admitted
even by the arbiters of fashion. As an evidence
of its utility, a London journal mentions the fact
that marching soldiers, who often break down in
consequence of their shoes, would be rendered
vastly more eflScient if they were made in accord
ance with the structure of their feet.—N. T. Post,
The executors of a lady named Desmond, who
died, at Brompton, England, in last May, sold
the extraordinary number of 1,800 silk dresses,
700 velvet mantles, 200 bonnets, and upwards of
100 pair of shoes, with innumerable kerchiefs
and scarfs, of all colors of the rainbow, which had
been purchased by the deceased lady within ten
years of her demise.
Hon. Edward G. Palmer, of South Carolina, in
a letter to the Southern Guardian, advocates the
imperative necessity of a dual Executive, and
thinks that the first triumph of the Republican
party, should that occur, would be an auspicious
moment to make this conservative demand; also,
that its refusal should be the signal of a disrup
tion of the Union.
Ike Coolie Trade.—Statistics of the coolie
trade with Cuba show that up to the 18th of
December, 1859, there had been 42,501 Chine.se
coolies landed at the different island ports. Be
tween that date and the 12th of August last, 5,-
569 additional coolies were landed out of a total
of 6,069 shipped, showing a mortality of nearly
ten per cent during the passage.
How they make Almanacs.—^The weather, on
Tuesday last, was fine, for the first time in many
I weeks. It is said that we owe this one sunshiny
day to the valet de charjibre of M. Babinet, the
illustrious astronomer and Parisian Meriam. On
Sunday afternoon, the learned old gentleman
was in his sanctum, arranging the weather for
1 the coming week. His servant stood behind his
chair, and saw him write—“Monday, driizly;
I Tuesday, heavy rains”—
! “OhI no sir! If you please!” entreated theval-
’ et. “Not Tuesday, sirl No rain on TundayV*
\ “Why not?” demanded the astronomer, posh-
! ing back his spectacles, in some surprise.
I “Because,” replied the servant, “Tuesd« is
’ my day out, sir; and I have given you no o^^ce
like the rest of themi I believed in your titWof
last March, and I smoked a piece of glass, to look
at your eclipse, in July!”
“So you did, Louis," said the old gentleman,
' approvingly; “so you did!—Tuesday is your day
j out, is it? Well, there!”—and scratching out
‘heavy rains’,—he inserted “clear and cloudless.”
1 This accounts for the sunshine on Tuesday last.
