To the People of South Carolina:
desire to bring to tho attention
Of the people of the State the follow

raj assembly after the return from q
visit to the Charleston exposition:
Be it resolved by the house of rep
resentatives, the senate concurring:
Whereas the board of directors of
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition company
did extend an invitation to the gen

city of Charleston; and
Whereas the general assembly did
accept said Invitation and visited the

February; and
Whereas the members of the gen
eral assembly deem it proper to ex-
press to the board of directors of tho
exposition company and to the peo-
pie of the State al large their opin-
on of the said exposition; be it
Resolved, That having viewed the
exposition, the grounds, buildings
and exhibits therein contained, we
unhesitatingly and unqualifiedly say
to the management Of the exposition,
and to the people of South Carolina,
that we found the exposition in every
respect far in excess of our expecta-
tiona, that in many ways there are
object LESSONS to be seen of advan-
tage to every citizen of our State.
Resolved, That it is the opinion Of
the Legislature that special South
Carolina day should be named, and
suggest March Goth as a suitable day,
and we recommend to the people of
the entire State that they assemble
at the exposition on that date and in
spect the resources and Industries of
our State 80 fully exhibited in South
Carolina's building as we'll as to see
the great industries and resources of
other sections of our country and to
be able to judge justly of q city and
its people who conceived and carried
through project that will unques-
tlonably be of great advantage to the
entire State and its people.
Resolved, further, That the COVER
nor be and is hereby authorized and
requested to have these resolutions
published throughout the State, and
to arrange through the State exposi-
ton commission for suoh public ex-
ercises on the exposition grounds,
eto., as he may deem necessary on
that date.
II is my duty, as we'll as my pleas
ure, to call attention to these resolu-
tinns, unanimously adopted by your
representatives, to the people of the
State, and to urge every man, woman
and child in South Carolina to take
heed and make it a special point to
visit Charleston On the occasion OF
South Carolina day, March Goth.
There can be no doubt that the ex.
position is beyond question the most
elaborate, complete and successful
enterprise Of it's kind ever undertaken
in the South, and aside from the pa
triotio duty that the people owe tc
the undertaking, those who fail to &c
to Charleston will have sincere cause
to regret the opportunity that they
have lost.
Without an exception everyone
who has visited Charleston return,
singing the praise of the exposi
ton, and it is my pleasure t,
commend the undertaking in tn,
strongest terms.
1t is the duty of every citizen O
South Carolina to attend this exposi
ton at some time during It's progress
1t is essentially State enterprise
conceived and carried into effect 70
