was largely under the personal super
vision Of superintendent Love, who
worked in conjunction with the au-
thorities Of the exposition company.
The exposition is q decided success,
and reflects credit upon the State and
upon the south. The great purpose for
which it was undertaken, the bringing
Of our own people into closer touch, en-
larging our trade relations with the
Latin States, and displaying to the
whole world the resources and adTan-
tages of this State and Of the south,
under the excellent management which
has the exposition in charge, must and
will be accomplished, and South Caro-
lima should feel just pride in this
success.
It is proposed, when the exposition
is over, to make permanent park out
Of the beautiful grounds. This would
be a commendable close for the great
enterprise, and it would be q handsome
act on your part to turn over the State
building 10 the exposition company or
it's successors at the close Of the expo
sition, and such q course has my hearty
approval.
TRUSTS.
Recently the business and political
worlds have been startled by great
combinations Of capital seeking to drive
smaller competing industries to the
wall and to acquire complete control OF
the products and supply Of certain artl-
cles OF trade which are necessaries and
which the people must have at almost
any price In a. great many instances
these comona tionS have been success
ful in their efforts to control the na-
t;onal market and the power they
WELD is immense. There is no doubt
that it has taken business ability Of q
high order th3s to gain control OF Q
commodity and that without this abll-
itv It could not have been done. 1t IS
also true that the trusts, il rightly
conducted. could be OF benefit instead
OF an evil 10 the consumer. but as
soon as monopoly is acquired the
tendency IS TO oppress, and WITH the
great power which these combinatlons

exactly the same as the one for the

marked that the State superintendent

last year: The Importance or levy

Of the country schools cannot he too
strongly urged upon our people. TINS
will enable them to employ competent
teachers for longer terms; 1t will en-
able them to give their children ele-
nnentary and preparatory training at
home; and i will tend to check the
abnormal flow Of population from the
country to the town: it will be bene-
fetal from every point Of view. While
Z Is possible for the graded schools to
become too mechanical and inelaStlc.
the irregularity in attendance at the
country schools renders it impossible
to have graded instruction or system
attic work. The character of the super
vision OF the schools in the country is
very poor in consequence OF the in
adequate salaries paid the County
SUperinte1dentS, who must give
large portion Of their time TO other
work than that OF supervising the
schools.
Some provision should be made to
SECURE more permanent boards Of trrlS-
tees and county boards OF education.
Tie tenure Of Office in the boards OF
trustees is two years Most Of these
boards not being sure Of their continu-
ance in Office are unable to employ a
teacher for more than one Eear-a very
unfortunate system Of affairs. as there
can be no continuous school work
from year to year without some per-
manence Of tenure. County boards
should be elected by the people in such
q way as not to change entirely at one
time; and the boards Of trustees should
De elected on 4 somewhat similar plan.
The State superintendent calls atten-
:ion to q plan for securing better school
houses. This should DC given most
careful consideration, because the best
results in training children cannot be
obtained in shabby and uncomfortable
school houses

LOUISIANA PURCHASE E&POsI-

chased from France in 1893, and at

souri,, Iowa. Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, a great part
Of Kansas. the Indian territory Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, and ell Of Indiana

celebrate the centennial anniversary
Of this event. the Louisiana Purchase
exposition will be held in st. Louis.
Mo. during 1909. The management OF
this exposition desires the assistance
and cooperation Of the various States
of the Union in this enterprise. Five
million dollars have been appropriated
for this purpose by the general govern
ment and $10O00.00 by the city OF st.
Louis. and already several States have
made appropriations for buildings and
exhibits. The purpose for which the
exposition has been undertaken is
patriotic one and no doubt the expo
stion will be n great success and much
good accomplished.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
The economy with which the county
affairs are managed fixes largely the
weight Of the burden Of taxation upon
the people. Apart fom the interest on
the state debt and the constitutions
tax for the public schools the tax for
the support of the State government is
very small. 1t should not be Your busl-

The cost Of the courts and the admin
