Mr.. Tousley. of Minnesota, responded
to both addresses on behalf of the COM
mission. He believed that one Of the
leading features that will grow out of
this quadricentennial anniversary will
be the fact that the American people
will be reDaptiZed, and recreated to
higher and more useful citizenship. Re-
ferring to Gov. Tillman's remarks about
South Cardinals absence from the eX-
hibits,
Mr.. TOusley said
he did not think so much of things as of
men. He did not think of South Caro-
lima or any other state as She may 8p-
pear here, but he looked upon the state

we are born from which we never lose
the grip and which is Omnipresenr."
Mr.. Tousley briefly contrasled the
past and present, declaring that we are
competing success ully with the oldest
civilization of the world. In closing he
said: II ask you, then, as we welcome
these representatives of the Augusta
exposition and the governor of South
Carolina. to renew your own vow. Cen
tIemen, let us renew our own vows. our
own fealty toIhe American Union, and
let us carry forward this rich heritage
which has been given US so grandly and
so fully that the muse of history 200
years from today will write the next
century as the grandeSt i'll the cycle of
