South Cardinals Exhibit.

ooutn (aronn9s . 6xnioit'
The magnificent exhibit Of the resources of
South Carolina, which attracted so much atten-
tion at the Worlds Exposition at New Orleans,
has been brought to the State and, under the
care and management Of the Agricultural So
ciety of South Carolina, will be re-arranged and
exhibited at the next annual Fair Of that Society,
in the city of Charleston, which will open on
the 23d day of November, next.
1t is the wish of the Society to make the No
vcmbcr exhibit even more complete and attract
i've than it was in New Orleans, and for that pur-
pose Commissioners have been appointed in every
county to receive such additions to the exhibit
as the citizens, particularly the ladies, may
think would increase its interest and more fully
display the industries and resources of the State
To give our readers more comprehensive
idea of the aims and intentions of the Society,
we give below extracts from circular handed
us by Mr.. W. a. Nicholson, of this toxh, who
with Mr.. r. s. Thomas, of Santuc, have been
appointed Commissioners for Union county:
"In order that the people of South Carolina
may more generally see the grand exhibit of the
resources of their State, which attracted so
much attention Mt the recent New Orleans Expo-
allowed, and the Agricultural Society of Soutl,
Carolina has undertaken, its re-arrangement and
re-exhibition ut Charleston. 1t will form the
| basis of the Annual Industrial Exhibition of the
Society, and added to it, there will be splendid
exhibit of the handiwork of the women oDHhro-
| lima, many South Carolina inventions and bro
| ductions, and n fine display of articles desGrip
tive of life and habits of our people in the
present, compared with those of one huntre,
years ago, showing the changes and improve
| ments in that time.
There will be allowed no display of mere shor
goods, nor the peddlars and popcorn men who
crowd the ordinary fairs of the country. NJ
| displays of any article manufactured or pro
duced outside of South Carolina will be permit
ted, except such articles as are in general use
illustrative of the centennial progress referred
to above. 1t is intended to make the Exhibition
one typical of South Carolina.
| The various transportation lines centering il
Charleston, will make attractivcly low rates o
fare, to induce all to visit the exhibition.
