Liberal Response from tho People Of
South Carolina sc they Want their State
Represented
COLUMBIA, S. G.. March I5.--If the
Slate of South Carullua is not splenddly
represented at the Worlds Fair by an
exhibit that will do great credit 10 it, the
people OF the State will only have them
selves to blame.
Certainly those who have undertaken
to carry on the work have begun opera
tons with great display OF energy and
with remarkable prumptnese.
The State Board OF Managers, al.
though just arpoi'ttd. come 10 the trout
today with /. cir initial address to the
people Of South Carolina. and It is llopcd
that every man and woman in tie State
will read it, he touched by it's patriotic
appeal and go to work with vim and
energy to which failure is unknown.
TO THE PEOPLE or SOUTH CARO-
LIMA: AS result of the call from the
Columbia Board Of Tiade for Worlds
Fair convention, the work Of securing an
exhibit for South Carolina at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition has been
lnaugurated. The State Board ofMana.
gers elected by the convention have
systematically mapped out the State
work, dikiding it into sub, county. and
townshoS committees. They are san.
guine ofthe success OF the undertaking,
but appreciate its magnitude and the dit-
ticulties which they will lave to encoun.
ter, and ieel their inability to carry for
ward the work without the hearty sup
port of the citizens Of the State at large.
by combination of forces great under
takin2s assume minimum proportions,
and difficulties that seem insurmount-
able when approached with determina-
ten to overcome them disappear with
miraculous rapdity.
Feeling that every citizen of South
Carolina should take pride in the
States exhibit we appeal to you to aid
us ir' this work. Do not think that YOU
can be of no service, and therefore iaii
TO do your part, but, be it great or small,

gregHte TO such coin Ael proportions that
all way be proud of thdisplay.

Bus92, ,asu SO TotheGi tsPpyou can con.
tri5&@ &@money, YOU may have some rare

TO you when tie Exposition is over.
You can also aid by your words of
cheer and encouragement. If you can
not praise Tie efforts of those who are
working with purely disnterested mo-
tlves, do not cripple their efforts and
dampen their &! dor by adverse criticisms
and attempt 10 throw cold water upon
the undertaking. by saying 1t cannot be
done. 1t Can be done If every one would
do all in their POWER to aid in the work
Other States are doing the same thing,
and shall we sit conientedly down aud
see South Carolina, who in days past
has been leader, relcgated to the rear
because her sons aud daughters failed to
bestir themselves?
Shall she b. made reproach and a
by-word amongst her fair sisters, tho
Original Thirteen? We trow not. Her
acLlons in the past are a guarantee that
she will not hc left behind in the matter
OF the Worlds Columbian Exposition.

ing, and we appeal for aid TO your peck
cts, your pride and your ingenuity.
Help us and thereby help yourselves.
