RAPE OF THE TREASURY.

Will the BulIdoziny or the Brow
beating Of Country Delegates To
the General Assembly Lead Them
to be False to Their Truste
AS specimen OF the manners and meth.
ods which have been adopted by the friends
of the Charleston Exposition, which bears
the name of the State and to which IL added
long string Of other names which no man
can remember, we copy the following:
The Narrow Minded.
The Charleston Sun says:
"The Columbia State publishes the text OF
the memorial which will be presented to the
approaching session by the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposition. ask
ing the appropriation OF $4,000 for making a
State exhibit. The State gives its hearty en-.
dorsement to this memorial and urges favora-
BILE action upon 1t by the General Assembly.
II Gays:
He must have a narrow mind who would
prise because one CITY in south Carolina will
receive the greater portion of Its immediate
benefits. Charleston, IL is true. should be
greatly aided by this exposition. We sincere
~ hope that she may be. But Charleston Is
q South Carolina city, part OF South Caro-
lima, contributing to the population aud the
wealth and the enterprise OF the State, and
WudtSN6T bu6ll CudElcdCOu musL dlu oOutu
Carolina as we'll. Even if the exposition
were almost exclusively for the advantage Of
Charleston 1t would still, for the reasons we
have stated, deserve the kindly aid of the
State. But while the enterprise in its inoep-
tion and location is of and for Charleston 1t
will he in its representative character dis
tinctly q South Carolina undertaking. It
bears the name of South Carolina, 1t will ex.
hibit the products and resources OF the State,
concentrating for the survey Of the outside
world all that is most attractive In South
Carolina's achievements and opportunities,
aud In this way 1t will be in It's ultimate ef-
feet OF far greater advantage to the rest OF the
State than TO Charleston.
'This last statement Is eminently true.
The exposition will surely be of greater bene-
1T to the State at large than 1t will be 70 Char
lesion. 1t will fix the eyes OF the country
upon the resources OF South Carolina, and
these, though displayed at Charleston, will be
sought by developers where they lie and the
sections that contain them will reap the
profit. Charleston will gain In ultimate ben
eft from the exposition only what her own,
resources attract Of capital and development.
II all the natural wealth Of the State Is cen.
tered at Charleston, this city alone will bene.
f1t from the exposition. Is there any one In
the Piedmont or in the Pee Dee section in
the middle country or on the coast OF South
Carolina, who will admit that Charleston
alone Is blessed with resources?"

The cotton growers OF the

down to q basis Of organization

plisn something that will have

Mr. ]. c. Wilborn, the president

Any discussion that relates to
the health, comfort and pleasure
ofthe vast communities congregat.
ed iu cities is most interesting,
and should command wide atten'
ton. The inquiries made by the
| writer of the article in question
are easily answered by the almost
universal testimony of members
of the medical profession that the
effect of trees is strictly beneficial
to health; but as the inquirer asks
for statistics, I would refer him
| and all other inquirers to an
exhaustive article on this subject,
written by Dr.. stepher Smith aud

Again, the shade Of trees protects
the earth from the direct rays of ths
sun and prevents solar radiation
from the earth. This is Of immense
impor tance in cities where tn.
paved streets become excessively
heated, and radiation creates one
OF the most dangerous sources
of heat. Whoever has walked the
streets of New York on q hot sum-
mer's day, protected from tbs
direct rays of a midday sun BY
his umbrellas, has found the reflect
I'd heat of tho pavement intoler-
able" If for q moment he passed
into the dense shade of q tree he
at once experienced a marked sense
of relief, This relief is not due so
much to the shade as to the cooling
effect of the vaporization from the
leaves of the tree.

and Cemetery and Landscape

evidence is furnished in q some.
