over it, we are convinced that the exposi.

interesting eyer held in the South. Col.
Clarke wants to see South Carolina well
represented at the exposition, and wants
Anderson County, especially, 10 participate
in the County exhibit contest. This Will
certainly be fine opportunity Tor Ander-

taken to secure it. Other counties in the
State are going into it, and why not An
