How South Carolina Should be Repre-.
scnted at the Atlanta Exposition.
/. By large delegation of practical
farmers and mechanics. All kinds OF
improved farm machinery for cultiya-
ting, picking, ginning, packing and pre-
paratlon of cotton will be on exhibition.
Our farmers should be present to exap1
inc every invention, and prepared to
accept such as will enable them to han.
die their crops III the most profitable
manner. Machinery for the manufac.
ture Of cotton tabrics will comprise q
large portion of the Exposition, and our
machinists should be there to avail them.
selves Of this grand opportunity for in.
y,esslgating such machinery as will, in
the near future, be necessary for use in
South Carolina cotton factories.
:. Our factories should have samples
OF all their goods nicely arranged in
cases, forwarded to the Department of
Agriculture, to be placed on exhibition.
This exhibit would be ample evideuce Of
our ability to compete Iith cotton man.

3. In the exhibitions to bo made by
The Department of Agriculture, maps,
charts, plats, and drawings of all the
fine water-powers Of the State should
occupy a prominent position. Capital.
lists will visit the Exposition for the pur.
pose of making Investments, and we
should be ready to show them the adyan.
tages offered by South Carolina. It ia
well known that the water power of the
State is scarcely excelled by that of any
other portion of the Union. The De.
partment should be prepared to furnish
full information as to these water. powers.
terms on which they can he utilized,
owners of the property and their exact
location. Parties owning or controlling
snch sites should communicate with tho
Commissioner Of Agriculture without
delay.
i. Every South Carolinn Invention for

State Department, where it will attract
general attention and benefit the inyen.

agricultural products. Nothing will go
tend 10 impress the stranger with our
Importance, agriculturally, as a good ex.
hibt of this character. Buckwheat from
the mountains. cotton aud the cereals
from the middle country, ard oranges
and bananas from the coast, will be strong
evidence Of our diversified soil and cli,n.
ate, and prove that our State will answer
the wants of all classes of people.
:. An exhibition of our phosphates
and minerals. The discovery and partial
of our phosphate beds has
added thousands of dollars to the reve.
nue. Of the State, and larger investment
of money will correspondingly increase
the States income. We have valuable
mines of gold, silver, iron, lead copper,
&c, within our borders. We need capi.
tai to dsvelope them. We can adopt no
better method for attracting it than by q
good exhibit of mineral specimens.
z. We should have samples of all our
native woods. The exhaustion of walnut
is only a question of time, and our oak

tuted: The importation of the pine is
already great industry. We have very
many useful varieties of wood for build
ing and ornamental purposes, and each
year they are becoming more valuable.
8. Rough and polished specimens of
marble aud granite: and samples Of
knolin should be exhibited. Tho gran
lite Of Fairfield county is said to be the
finest in the United Sta. es. The supply
is inexhaustible, and We need capital to
open these immense quarries to their
fullest extent. The ka0lin il now largely
used in the manufacture Of pottery, door
knobs, &c. and if we can establish fac.
tories Tor its manufacture at home, it
will be OF great benefit TO all the people
of the State.
8. We should have samples of wool
from oil the breeds of sheep grown in
South Carolina. The Department has
frequent inquiries for land suitable for
sheep raising Many people will visit
the Exposition to ascertain the best 10.
caiity for this purpose. We need to
show them that sheep husbandry can he
made profitable here. The samples OF
wool, together with the information we
propose TO publish, will greatly aid in
accomplishing this object.
10. Nothing would add more largely
to the uttructiveness of our exhibition
than n fine collection of native fruits,
vines and vegetables. Already there is
bright prospect for canning establish
men,s in the State. To induce parties
to invest their money in such enterprises
we must show them we have the material
for the work. 1t is universally acknowl.
edged that our fruits and vegetables can
be preserved here ut less cost and sold ut
greater profit than TO ship them abroad.
In our desire to engage in the larger in
dustries the smaller should not be over
looked. "a diversified industry is q
nations prosperity"
ii. All parties having lands for sale
should register them in The Commission
er's Office, and il they contain minerals,
or have fine water ro%ars on them, ii
should be so stated, in order that we may
give definite answers to parties seeking
Information.
The collection of these specimens OF
minerals, agricultural products, &C.,
should be beguI at once. The time is
short for so large a work, and it should
not be delayed. The Exposition will be
of great benefit to our State. 1t will
give tremendous impetus to all South
ern industries, it will greatly aid in the
development of the resources of the
Southern States, and generally prove
beneficial to all classes of our people
A fixture to make a good exhibition by
South Carolina will be attributed to al
inability to do so, and we cannot afford
TO suffer such an impuiation cast upon 6
State possessing boundless resources

vantages. We want to show the practi
