After the reading of the assessment
of the counties and expression OF opin,
ions, Mr.. Manning wished to hear
from Mr.. Roche as to what his views
and aims were.
Mr.. Roche said the display to be
made at Chicago depended on how
much money there was at the disposal
of the commissioner. Manufactures
would be urged to make Individual
exhibits, anG If they did so the money
required would not be quite SO much.
Work should be started at once, as the
exposition opened by the middle of
August; and fruits. vegetables, rains,
etc, should be gathered and put through
some process of preserving.
Seven States have gone into this
show, and it will be a general south.

Governor Evans made a few con-
cluding remarks. He said the facto
ries had shown great lukewarmness in
aiding in the Atlanta exhibit. He had
to make personal appeals to them, and
even then ne met with poor success.
This was southern State exposition,
and it would be the means OF carrying
manufactured products to new
market. This should remove the fear
of new factories coming in and com.
peting, for they never came from tne
west, it being an agricultural region.
He spoke OF the advantages of emmi-
grants coming into this State from the
west, aud urged Charleston to do her
best for the exposition. Twelve hun
dred dollars could be raised there
without trouble.
