THE MACHINERY BUILDING.

AT times they expose themselves with
a strange contempt for death. An Of
ficer will take chances no European
would care to take. The field battery
was generally to be found in places
where nobody read in tactics would
have dared to put it. Gen. Chaffee and
his staff always rode where the enemy
was most likely to see and shoot at
them. Young and inexperienced corre-
spondents were warned by older heads
not to go during action near promi-
nent buildings, large graves, or the
American staff.
1.-THE British and Americans were the
very best of friends. In fact, whenever
drinks were handy, which was not Of
ten. there was great talk Of the Anglo
Saxon alliance. We were not let into
all the secrets Of war, but there were
probably times when differences rose
between the various generals, and on
such occasions there is reason to be-
lieve the Americans always supported
the British. One man who overheard
him told me that once when the Amer
leans sent over to General Gaselee,
making some request, the latter ex-
claimed: Certainly, certainly. Moth
ing we can do is too good for the
Americans. l cannot tell you how
much we owe to them

ADVICE TO BORROWERS OF NEWsPA-
PERs.-Some timely advice to borrow
ers of newspapers is given by the Kan
sas City Journal in the shape Of warn
ings like this:
"a man who was too economical to
take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neighbor.
In the haste the boy ran over a 4stand
a warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his as
sistance and, failing to notice a barbed
wire fence, ran into that, breaking it
down, cutting a handful Of flesh from
his anatomy and running 81 pair of
pants. The old cow took advantage Of
the gap in the fence and got into the
cOrnfield and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran
upset Il four gallon cnurn full of rich
cream into Il basket Of kittens, drown
ing the flock. In the hurry she dropped
Il 81 set of false teeth. The baby, left
alone, crawled through the spilled milk
and into the parlor, running brand
new $40 carpet. During the excitement
the oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man. the dog broke up eleven set
ting hens, and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts. -

vessel was wrecked in a terrific storm,
and the conflict with the waves for life,
for himself and little boy, seemed a
doubtful contest. The Controller Of our
destinies gave means to save, and,
strange to relate, the same day and
hour he buffetted the waters so wildly
his wifes soul was launched into eter-
nifty, all unconscious Of the danger Of
her husband and child. OF course,
months elapsed before he knew Of the
affecting coincidence, but it was one
frequently related.
For years, court week invariably
found Mr.. Latta at Yorkville. On some
planks laid across benches in the pub
lie square, his varieties were spread
open for the inspection of the crowd,
among whom, of course, he found
many purchasers. If the weather was
inclement, a room at McCalps tavern
furnished shelter and convenient
spot for his counter. I wish I could
give bill Of goods and prices sold on
such a day; but it is beyond my power.
Old Mr.. Michael Moore, one of our
perambulating hotel-owners, opened
the first store in the village. 1t was
modest assortment, and Mr.. Latta's
pack still retained, unabated, it's pop
ularity. However, the latter too, con-

of these travelling merchants. were
James Patton, Daniel Mcmahon, and
James Latta. They usually went on to
Philadelphia-the mart at which they
obtained their stock-together; as the
money bags they carried were attract
i've to robbers, many of which, in those
early times, waylaid the road, as in
their unity they found strength to re-
sist the attacks. For further mutual
benefit and protection, each took a cir
cult to which bounds he confined his
presentations, thus securing large
profits by monopoly.
Patton's division was from Spartan
burg, on through the mountainous re-
gion Of Buncombe, N. c.; and investing
his emoluments in the teeming lands Of
the iattter section, laid the foundation
OF a large fortune. McMahons rounds
lay FROM Spartanburg on to Union, In
to Newberry and Fairfield, on to York.

a store in York, and afterward had
branches in Columbia and Camden.
He began dealing in stocks, and money
seemed to grow to his order.
1t is not my purpose to trace Robert
Latta through his successful money
making career-it is too well-known In
your midst; but a few words as to the
character of this man, whom I knew
we'll from long association and family
connection.
He was exact in business transac-
tions to the last farthing-owing or
owed, it must be paid. Yet the gift to
a nephew, who bore his name, Of $lO,-
900 in cash to enable him to properly
establish himself in business, and the
handsome marble pulpit of the Colum-
bia Presbyterian church, prove his to
have been no niggardly spirit.
I always thought one great secret OF
his success was his indefatigability.

EXPOSITION BUILDINGS.
Picture. of the Palaces In Which the Big
Show Will Be Held.


The South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian exposition will open in
the city of Charleston on December l,
1901, and the active work that has been
in progress on the buildings and the
grounds since last August bids fair to
be completed by that date.
AS yet none of the buildings have
been completed; but the plans OF the
more important ones have been decided
upon. These include the Administra-
tion building, the Cotton Palace, the
Palace of Agriculture, the Palace or
Commerce, the Minerals and Forestry
building and the Machinery building.
The Cotton Palace Is to be $50 feet
long by 100 feet wide and include $4,000
feet of floor space. The palaces of Ag-
riculture and Commerce will each con-
tain 100000 feet of floor space and the
other buildings Will be on the same
grand scale, the smallest having not
less than 10000 feet.
The exposition grounds are In what
was formerly the old Washington race
course, and the main buildings will be
arranged in the form Of an elongated
horse shoe, extending distance OF at
least one mile The cuts published to-
day will give a good idea as to how
the various buildings will appear "hen
completed.

His son Robert, now grown up to

thus, in the infant backwoods town,
began the career Of storekeeper, Of
the man who afterward was among
the merchant princes Of the state. No
man ever lived, suppose, whose atten-

in which he was engaged. The large
