The Charleston Exposition.

Senator Tillman failed to secure the appro.
priation OF s25O.OOO from the Washington gov.
ernment for the Charleston Exposition. He
made brave fight for 1t. but failed. Senator
Tillman deserves the hearty thanks Of the
people Of the city. The st. Louis Exposition
got IS. 600 900, while the pittance was denied to
the Charleston Exposition. The people OF
Charleston are rich, and when their spirit Is
aroused, the men OF means may come to the
rescue. and yet have an Exposition which
will be creditable to the good old city.
We have not been In love with the Exposi-
tion because Of Its great long name, which we
cannot now repeat without hunting up an old
newspaper to rerresh- cor memory, but II
Charleston should claim IL to be, what 1t real
ly is, Charleston Exposition, there is no
need Of failure. AS matter of fact the peo-
pie OF Charleston can have but little interest
in q West Indian Exposition. The West In
dians are not exercising themselves.
Why should Charleston put herself out TO
advance the West Indian business?
Why should Charleston undertake to have
State or National Exposition7
Why not have Charleston Exposition, and
Invite the world to come?
II the local capitalists will get together and
discuss the matter. adopt practical business
methods, rely on their own resources, and go
to work in earnest, a splendid show can be
had without government aid. Concentration
Is the word, and under that banner the city
can rally and bring q glorious success TO the
old city.

Free Cuba.

The Cubans for some time have been anus
ing themselves, framing Constitution to suit
themselves. In this there can be no harm,
either to Cuba or TO the United States.
The United States has way OF refusing to
yield, as evidenced by the Paris treaty Of
peace. Cuba will probably find that the
Washington government means what 1t says,
both as to pledges at the beginning Of the
war, and on reconstructing the government Of
the island.
II the Cubans get as much liberty as is en-
Joyed by Massachusetts and South Carolina,
Cuba will be free. Cuba couldn't reasonably
expect the people of the United States 10 give
Cuba greater liberty than we have. The peo-
pie OF the different States composing this
Union have no right to make treaties with
foreign governments, neither should Cuba
have this right. The United States cannot af
ford to give Cuba the right 10 involve this
country in war with foreign powers. AS rea.
sonable men the Cubans should not interfere
with the United States In protecting their lib
erty in a manner which would save blood and
treasure.
The best security for the peace and prosper
ity Of Cuba lies In the fact that the United
States occupies forts, which are garrisoned
with United States soldiers.
Having implicit faith in the wisdom, pat.
riot!sm, and generosity of the government al
Washington we have no doubt that the Gu.
bans will be pleased with their relations to
US. The tubans will get local seIfgovern.
ment, and will at the proper time send their
representatives to the halls OF the National
Congress.

McLaurfn.

The newspapers are carrying on prelimi-
nary fight against Senator McLaurin. But
the voters will walt to hear from the Junior
Senator.
He can no doubt tell why he voted for the
ratification Of the Paris treaty Of peace.
He can no doubt explain his vote on the
shin subsidy to carry fast mail and freights to
distant points.
He can also give his reasons for voting to
subsidlze the railways to carry fast mails
from Washington down South.
With due respect to the gentlemen who
think that the true test OF Democracy ia oppo.
sition TO anything the Republicans may pro-
pose. this newspaper expects to vote for Nc.
Laurin because Of his votes on ratification OF
the treaty OF peace and because OF bis sub.
sidy votes to railroads and ships. We believe
In progress. We would not vote for q candi.
date who opposed the ratification and the sub
sidy. If a candidate favorable to these ques-
tions was In the field.
Except for politics. there are prospec-
tive candidates for Senator for whom We
would naturally vote. The time ia past when
blind hatred OF measure is justified on the
ground that 1t originated in the Republican
camps This country has prospered greatly
under Republican rule. and In the general
chapter OF accidents they may be right some.

It is probable that McLaurin will be more
popular next Summer than he is today.

The inauguration.

On last Monday President Mckinley took
he oath OF Office for the scond time. 1t was
Lhe occasion OF a great demonstra tiou by the
people. Good feeling prevailed and the peo.
pie united, as they have never done before, to
show honor to the President OF the United
States.
He went into Office In 1897, when the f1nan'
cial affairs of the country were in disturbed
condition, and when further evils were threat
ened by those who would, If possible, depre.
ciate the currency.
But better times followed his Inauguration.
The financial policy of the country was set.
tied. Prosperity came TO people in all the
lines OF pursuit. The farmer aud the manu-.
facturer have prospered.
The President, in 1898, stood firmly against
the clamor for war In Cuba. and he did not
yield till the time was ripe for it. and the
whole country was united in the demand.
As an able and honest ruler he has come up
10 the expectations of his most enthusiastic
friends. The Spanish war was managed with
consummate skill, with results entirely salts
factory 10 the American arms.
President Mckinley's administration will
MI an important chapter IN American his
tory.
His inaugural address is modest, but shows
no disposition to yield one iota to those who
would encourage dissensions In the territory
acquired from Spain, while those who may be
fighting the best interests Of the country will
be met with q firm hand.

Among our own people little generous

Death of Miss Lila Norwood.

Miss Lila Norwood, a highly respected lady
of this city, died at home, Monday morning
March S, 1901.
Miss Norwood and her people being OF
modest and retiring disposition the public
knew very little of her illness. and many
we're shocked yesterday at the announcement
Of her death.
It was generally known that Miss Norwood
was sick, but few thought that her illness
was of a serious nature. But she was sinking
daily, with tuberculosis until the end came.
Miss Norwood was daughter of the late
James A. Norwood and she lived in the old
homestead with her sister Mrs. E. B. Cal.
houn. She was a'keeper at home and the
counsellor OF the household. The Episcopal
church, of which she was m ember. found In

MORE FlAGPOLES THAN EVER.
Growing Disposition Among the Peo-
nle to Show Their CoIors

Growing D1SpOsitiOH among the feO-
ple to Show Their CoIors. 80.
"Flagpoles." said a man whc makes
them. ARE the pick Of the forest whence
they come. Up to GO feet in length. and
This would include the great majority,
they are commonly of spruce: flagpoles
more than 60 feet long are of pine.
1.-THE spruce poles come from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia The pine
poles come from northern New York and
Michigan.
"Up to so feet in length and 80 foot
staff would be counted good, big staff.
Flagpoles cost, all set up, truck on the
ton and halyards rove, ready 10 bend on
the flag, from, 81 to $1.25 a foot. The
cost depends somewhat OIL the pole and
somewhat on the situation, the latter
question involving the difficulties attend
ing setting the pole up. Longer poles
cost proportionately more. A 20 foot
role might cost, set up ready for USE,
$3.50. Flagpoles for buildings are some
times made up to so feet in length, but
not often.
"A so foot pole of the usual proper
tions, which would be 10 inches in di-
ameter at the butt and 4 inches at the
top, would weigh about $50 pounds. A
rs foot pole would weigh about 1,50O
pounds, so that when you put up pole
of that size you would be standing upon
one end q weight of three-Quarters Of a
ton.
"Of course the hagpole must be secure
" set up. There are two ways OF mount
ing q flagpole. One is to step it, running
the lower end of the pole through the
roof as YOU would run q mast through the
deck of a boat The other way is to set
the butt Of the pole in shoe placed on
the roof. The very tallest poles are al
ways stepped through the roof.
"a good fagpole, properly put up and
properly cared for, is long lived. 1t might
wear as long as the building on which il
was placed. A fagpole really ought to be
painted every year. Flagpole painting is
done by the riggers employed by f1agpole
makers, by steeple climbers, by men who
make a business Of it, who 60 about seek
ing lagpoles to paint. To have flag
pole carefully and properly painted costs
according to the size Of the pole, 30 te
$40.
"Flagpoles are made nowadays rather
longer, if anything, than formerly. Theil
greater length is to make them more
nearly proportionate to the higher build
ings.
"There are now sold more flagstaff;
than ever before in proportion to the pop
ulation. The law requiring the flying Of
the flag from schoolhouses has increased
the actual number Of poles, and the pres
ence Of those poles and the flying Of the
flag from them has prompted the raising
of other poles. think also that people
| are more likely now to put up hagpoles
than they formerly were; anyway, tina,
they have more disposition now than evel
to show their colors. New York Sun.

different ways, but one Of the best was

with a companion, rather lazy fellow
when the latter exclaimed:
'I declare, Jack. can't understand

"I'll tell you why it is" replied Jack:
"But," he added. ''it's a trade secret, and

ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS WORK.
Figures of an Old Man Who Once
Climbed Weary Stairs.


Recently an old man stood in the cor
ridor Of big Office building, with watch
in hand, making figures from time to
time on the back Of an envelope. There
were many who wondered what he was
doing.
He was computing how much time the
modern elevators in our high buildings
save to men in q day. and to one who
spoke to him he told how for years,
away back in the sixties, he had worked
in the sixth story Of building which
was then one of the highest in the city
or the country either, for that matter;
how, though young and spry then, he
had dreaded that climb up six sheer stair
flights; how the men in the place would
draw lots to see who at luncheon time
should make the journey to the street to
buy cakes and pie for the MONDAY meal,
and how he had ut times gone without
his luncheon rather than use up so much
strength in climbing the stairs. 1t took
a minute and q half then for young
man to 20 up, he said, but the manager
of the factory, who was more than 0O
years old and somewhat rheumatic, al
ways spent four minutes in the upward
struggle.
81 was just figuring on the time saved
BY this modern appliance" the old man
continued, land calculate that it is at
least four minutes for every young man
who goes to the twenty-tifth floor and ten
minutes for your elderly gentlemen
These express elevators, stopping only
above the thirteenth floor. average 40
seconds in reaching the top. OF course
we wouldn't have 20 or 80 story struc-
lures if the modern elevator manufac-
turers had not kept pace with the archi-
tects and builders. but am arguing from
the other side" And he showed an ar
ray Of figures to prove that in q days
average business, in which $500 passen-
gers are carried, two whole working
days are gained. His young friend did
not dispute him.
It is in New York, Of course. with its
score of buildings that are IA stories
high and over, that the elevator has
reached its greatest development. In the
matter Of speed the makers have wed
with one another until 800 feet minute
is the rate at which the cars can be pro-
pelled. This means to the twentieth
floor of building in 80 seconds, veloci-
ty that is gained by multiplication OF
gear wheels over which the car cables
run.-New York Post.

Wax Figures.

The best wax figures in the world ars
made In New York. One frrh here had
two to show in its store. Each OF these
figures cost 5000. They are made entirely
of wax and are the exact counterparts OF
two famous New York models. The first
figure was sculptured after French girl
Almost the only difference between the
little French model and the polite, dainty
figure in wax Is that the girl Of flesh and
blood has dark hair and the hait OF the
wax figure is yellow. The second figure
Is that Of an American woman. Her dg-
ure and the soft pink flush Of tho SKIN
seem almost perfect. The womap who
stood for the model Of this one wa 3 said
to have the best American figure In New
York.-Boston Journal.
