A new More Notes on the Fair
HomethtiiK About the City.
Nkwiikrx, S. C, February 26.
The fuir still continues in its attract'
iv. n. sH nml the iiiu-iiiIiiikc was much in-
crc.iscil bv iiriivula by ritilroiiil so that
the buildings were well lillcil nil nay. n
is not the lamest fair by nny means 1
have ever attended, but it is much the
most pleasant and instructive. Every
thin", is arranged with jierl'ect judg
ment, and where the ladies control, with
exquisite taste; and when it is known
how enthusiastic the ladies have Isvcn, it
will lie understood how prevalent is
their hnppv influence over everything in
doors. Tlie exhibits, while not so large
as those at the Slate fairs, are very com
prehensive and instructive, und the ab
sence of a dense crowd erinits every
thing to he thoroughly examined. The
floral department is one of exquisite
benutv and fascination as viewed
while'winter still nominally reigns. It
does uot. in fact, tin so since I huve been
here, mid cvtrvtllim! tempts to open
windows and outdoor life. The fish sup
ply was renewed to-ilny and calls lor re
newed observation, though no new 8ee
imens had lieen ndded. 1 overlooked
one drimrunrnl vcsteriliiv which I lcis-
urelv inspected uiidct the guidance of the
umiable and highly intelligent lady who
oresu es over it. That was me tiepan
meut of autiiuities and relies. Among
these was u chair once owned nnd used
liv Lord Cornwnlhs. a clock w Inch once
uilorned the mantel of the Trvon palace,
a gun used in the revolution by the lather
of Mr. Uraham Iavis, ail anow which
had been drawn Irom the body ol one ol
the whites killed in battle by a Tuscii
rora Indian in the early ilnysol Xewbern,
many old domestic utensils used iu the
last century, n silver tankard with the
date of 1 7:iti, a canteen used by a revo
lutionary soldier, and numerous other
things of interest. Among the relics was
a miniature of a lady whose lace is Isriiti
tilul. and whose coilYure and dress la-tokens
n long time ago. It is set in a gold
medallion frame. It was found on llat
tcras beach, but how long it had Ihyii
there no one knows, washed nshorc in
some storm alter shipwreck, and il it
could speak might tell the story ol storm
and the engulliug ol ship and crew and
passengers, ktIi.-i)is of some high born
lady on a foreign ship: lor there is noth
ing Anglo Saxon about face or dress.
Another interesting relic of the sea is a
mass of dinner plates, lirst ernivuted to-
gcilicr by lire and then as they lay on
the bottom of the sea. still farther made
last together by oyster shells. The bot
toms ol the plates are painted with de
signs very old. and very pretty. The
burned ship may have Isren one of the
numerous ucls of piracy, plunder and de
struction which mr.rkrd the career ol the
Irerbootcr Hlucla.-aru' along this coast.
The mass has no slorv it can tell, and
fancy must 1 1 1 1 up the outlines of the
story suggestt-il by the relics.
Dili 1 must leave the lair.
Ncwbrrn is situated liciwccn the Xeuse
und Trent rivers which here expand to
ti e width each of nlmut a mile, and
unite to lorm n la-iiiiiiliil bay, the lower
end of which extends down towards the
distant low shores until it is like look
ing out to sea. Il fo ins a pretty har
bor, but il is not a lively one. A lew
lurge strainers ply between here and Nor
folk, nnd smaller ones to the ports on the
rivers and sounds. 1 lie outside com
merce is small, and nt present almost
the only thing like shipping to Ik seen
are thr corn laden schooners from Hyde
and I'anihco, nnd the numerous fishing
and oyster crafts, the former now open
ing in their busiest season.
The streets of New U rn are nf good
width, unpnved. with excellent side walks,
and they generally cross at right angles,
though ihere are some nleusant deviations
from straight lines, anil stTcl shoot off
sometimes nt most pleasant angles us
if wearied of the monotony of nil the
time going one wnv. Thev arc almost
all tlmdetT with well grown elms which
stretch their botiuhs across so n to inter
lace and form long grateful vistas of
shade so us to almost embower the city.
The bouses are well built, tasteful, and a
little oltl-lnshioned ; for ijuren Anne has
not yet, to appreciable extent, obtruded
her styles; and with few exceptions they
arc surrounded with shrublirry and a
profusion ol flowers. The streets are
sandy, but not heavily to, and all of
tnem, except I lie business ones are coated
with grass with the exception ol one or
two carriage ways, tin: mult being a
quiet that is agreeable or oppressive ac
cording to teniernnient. There is one
notable and admirable exception. A
broad street lending to the nnlional
cemetery is finely inarmlamited with tlie
crushed shell rock, silicate of lime quar
ried algive the city on Trent river, and
forms the best road I have ever travelled
over, hard nnd smooth. It is one ol the
streets lending out to the fair grounds,
and I have been over it frequently. Such
material accessible to Aslieville would
speedily decide the question of street
pavement.
On the opposite side of the street Irom
the fuir ground istliccityceinetey. This
it surrounded with massive wall of this
shell rock, cut and dressed as smoothly
at the material will permit. Iking coin
Mtrd of aa agglomeration of shells ol nil
sites, the tuilnce admits no perfect
smoothness. It it an admirable material
for massive architecture, and 1 am sur
prised to see to little of it in use, for this
wall, which encloses ten acres or more, is
fine object lesson. The great archway
leading Into the cemetery it a fine siiecl
men ol that kind of architecture, Irom its
height and width, and of itself should
have been suggestive of more general
uses.
I find.lt Impossible to more than touch
nnon what I have tern and learned. It
it embarrassment that it unpleasant, be
tween selection and omission ; but It it
unavoidable, and therefore 1 mutt use
what space permits me to use.
The population of the city It about
M,(XK), of which the negroes constitute
tbt larger part, Iwsidct which they have
an exclusive negro town on the other
title of Trent, known as Jamestown,
which it one time bad at many at 6,(KM)
Inhabitants, but It It much less now. The
mercantile bueiuett) appear to be large j
if the number of storct is it lair criterion.
Many ol them ure as elegant nt to lie
seen elsewhere, nnd some ol them do n
lurge wholesale business. There are be
sides, an infinity of small stores and
shops. I find uo esiieciul market place,
except the fish market, in the vicinity of
which everv snop is a mai nei wuu iiuun
dnut supplies of good Iwef, mutton, poul
try, wild fowl, vegetables, etc, The fish
market, while neither large nor attrac
tive, is interesting, for there are con
stantly arriving from the waters below
the eitv, liltle tcnoouers loaoeo uowh
with sliad und herring, slieepshead, spots,
great wideheaded catfish, sturgeon, and
other less important varieties. Ik-sides
these are the little oyster vessels which
discharge their cargoes ut once into the
market, nnd sold by the bushel or the
barrel, or they ure "shucked" by n long
ill,, nf men nml bovs. and sold to till or
ders of housekeepers or holds, and n
,.r,.i,t iniiiiv are sultl and consumed by
invert on t he snot, culler served up wuu
crackers and condiments, or eaten from
the half shell, which is the H ue way to
learn what is the real oyster flavor.
The price of hsh. sliad especially, is
regulated bv the demand from abroad.
Shad sell nt"the wharf higher than could
be exK-ctcd just when they arc taken
from the water. Fine roc shad are 75
cents to $1,110 a pair; bucks from 50
cults to "" cents. There is good local
demand; but thclargcrquautitv ispucked
on ice, and shipped Xorihorseut through
the State. And this is the case also with
i lie ovster. 1 visited one ol the fish pack-
iiiL' establislimeiitslliisalternoon. Theic
in l.'iri'v ovster ciiuuerv which I did not
have time to visit. Nor did 1 visit other
industrial establislunests, U-cause my
time was otherwise occupied. One ol
these is devoted to the making of the
wooden nlates wlueli are now so wiiiciv
Thev are made from the sweet
.inn in, as is also the wood pulp which
this cstalilislimeiil produces in large
qiiautilv lor piiier stocs. inert- is u
large teruuzer laeiory acre in which im
and fish offal is largely used, several large
steam saw mills, a furniture factory, mid
perhaps other itiduslrics.
The irreat iiiibistrv ol the city nnd
entity is truck fanning which is carried
mi on n si-air to nic stupendous, lien-
end Robert Ransom took me out through
the truck larms this alteinoon. nun I
was amazed at the extent ol the area
,-ovi-red as well as the magnitude of some
of the crops on the verv outskirts of the
citv, mostly on the Trent side. Weliegitn
to 'cuter the trucking area, and then for
live miles, with small intervals were in it
The onlv crops vet seen to great extent
are garden K-as. all in bloom nnd most
,,1'ilu-m lienriiiL'. and earlv cabbage most
of which is heading or headed, and at
Mr. loe Rhems place a large part ol the
crop' is already cut and slupH-d. I'eas
and cabbage were in sight all along the
road ill lielils Irom live to lorty acres.
This was the case al Messrs. Ilackbiirn
& Willet't, as this was the only point at
which we left the vehicle, I will sjieak
more esacially ol it.
The principal truckers are Mr. Joe
Klieui. one ol me largest, n not mc larg

ident of the lair. Crockett, li. K.
lindlcv. colored, once It meinlier of the
legislature, and a very prosarons far-im-r
W. II. lirav. and I'M. Cox.
The ioiut area ill cultivation is about
ti.Oi 10 acres, all ainiaientlv in one field
lor there are no lenccs, mid only divided
bv one large creek and a lew strips
Hwamos. The sod is a hulil miiiiIv loam
apparently hoR-lcssly barreii, and was
III lact so regarded mini witniii me nisi
two or three- tears. Thorough drainage
bv ditchim- has prepared it lor the plow.
niid heavy manuring nnd good culture
has done the rest.
At ll.-ickbiiru iv. Willet't a long clay
ridge a hundred or two yards iu width,
protrudes Irom I lie level, and on it his
houses barns, stables and dairies art
placed. This ridge is covered with fine
oaks, iitcKories ami popiars.
Here we alighted, and the English
manager kindly gave the information we
sought. And we at once found that
everything was done on a very large
ovule and iu a systematic maimer. We
entered n building on the road side in
which hands were employed in slicing by
a Hiwerliil machine the large rutalK-gn
turnips which are immediately placed in
a steaming vat preparatory to being
mixed with bran ami cotton seed meal
and taken to the cow stalls lor the cows,
n hall bushel tub lull Uuig the allotted
meal. In the rear of the slicing house
was the house liirthe steam enuine which
in addition to its other woik, drove a
saw which provided the lumber for Un
boxes mid crates in which the products
of the farm ere sent to market. Then
we visited the barns in which were
stalled nlHiui forty milch cows of the
finest breeds, and which furnished the
milk wilh which Ncwla-rn is largely sup
plied, the studies in which were it large
numlH-r of work horses, and n uuinlier of
fine mares and colts, then to the dairy,
under the charge of n neat and pleasant
colored woman whose charge was n
model of neatness and system, and then
back to the road where our English guide
cave us some partieulais.
He has plained for his employes this
teuton lour hundred bushels ol Irish po
tatoes from waich he exavtt to dig six
thousand barrels He has now reaching
maturity fifty acres iu cabbage Irom
which he expects to rul 1(1,000 heads.
He has many acres iu h-us, we did not
ask how many. He has used already
$5,IKH) worth of commercial lertiliiers,
or from l.ooo to l,.riin ihhiiiiIs in-r acre.
He has a large area iu clover and onts,
ami will lollow the example of hit neigh
bor iu raising many acres of cucumbers,
melons and brims. "one ol the largest and
most profitable crops.
On one of the liirmi we passed a field
of many acres in asparagus. With the
exception ol the green of the cabbage,
the pens and the oats, all this great ex
panse of truck farm was burr, and its
niidv toil suggested bnrrcneto. Hut the
whole aspect will Ik changed in the gen
eral wnrnilh of spring, and then it will
present a tight ol gnat beauty, for sys
tem and symmetry is u ten I lire of this
flat and light land, and the furrows for a
mile are at straight as an arrow.
