THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
CHARLESTON, S. O.,
March Doth. 1890

CHARLESTON, S. o.,
March Goth, 1895.
Dear Sir "A Convention composed OF
delegates from the Southern States and
Cities was held in Chicago in Febi uary
to consider the advisability of holding
an Exposition of Southern and
products in that City this year, and to
devise ways and means for covering the
cost of such an exposition. The Con.
vention resolved without q dissenting
voice that the Exposition should be held.
The City of Chicago pledged itself to
undertake the whole expense of organic
The several Southern States under.
took, on their part, to provide the ex-
hibits, and to pay the expense of collect.
hibits.
When the delegates from South Caro-.
lima met in Chicago, it was deemed
advisable that If the Legislature failed
to make an appropriation to place before
the world the products and of
our various cotton and other industries
at the Exposition in Chicago, a trial
should be made to raise the necessary
funds from other sources. The Legisla-
ture you are aware, did nothing for the
end in view, and it o becomes my
duty, by the authority Of the Governor
of the State, to invite you to attend g.
Convention to be held at Spartanburg,
on Wednesday evening, April 10Th, 1896,
for the purpose of providing a plan by
which an Exhibit of the industries of the
State shall be made at Chicago. 1t is
hardly necessary for me to place before
you the imperative reasons why we of
this State should make the best exhibit.
The great development of our Cotton
Factories, the natural advantages we
have of climate, water power, and cotton
raised around the Mills must invite the
attention of capital, thereby making our
State not only foremost in agriculture,
but also in Cotton fabric industries.
In no other way can our farmers be
more judiciously helped than by giving
them a market, we might say, near to
each and every farm, thereby linking
together agriculture, manufactures and
commerce..
l request, therefore, that the Mayors
and Intendants of the Cities and Towns
in the State attend the Convention at
S~partanburg, and appoint three dele
gates from each of the Cities and Towns
to represent their several municipalities
in this Convention, for the purpose OF
insuring an Exhibit by South Carolina
at Chicago.
REQUEST that each of the Cotton manu-
featuring enterprises in the State ap-
point representatives to attend the
Convention in ~Spartanburg.
1 also request that each of the Rail
road companies doing business in the
State will appoint a representative to
attend the Convention.
1 shall be obliged If you will inform
Inc at your earliest convenience the
names of the delegates you have ap.
pointed in response to this address.

til the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local

dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-

Miss Perrin Farrow gave, in a
very interesting manner, her meth

must be interesting to her pupils.
She further demonstrated hat she
was thoroughly posted.

petrated upon the profession by the

profitable to the school system if
all the school officers of the county
could have been present and heard
the address.
The next meeting of the Associa-
ton will be held on Saturday, April
18th, at II a. m, at Laurens, in the
