PERFECT SUCCESS.
What Visitor to the south Carolina Inter
State and West Ipdls q Exposition. Char
lesion, Has to say About 1t.

u 1OCSAu fl0lC W WIG AAHS0ASASI
Charleston, enables me to say that
the entire show is a perfect success.
The State exhibit in the State build
ing is superb, as we'll as the various
county exhibits in the same building,
all are an fait in every particular,
and is we'll worth seeing no matter
what the cost, and is a schooling to
our people, especially the young
people.
Mr.. A. ". Love, the superinten-
dent of the State building and his
assistants, Messrs. Mills and Banks,
will take pleasure in showing visitors
all matters of interest in the State
building, and other information that
may prove of interest to them.
Far off Oregon, Louisiana and
Florida whose exhibits are in the
annex to the State building, and are
especially interesting. Oregon shows
the trunk of tree that is at least
twenty feet in circumference, and a
square piece of timber, over seventy
feet long and three feet square! Be-
sides the woods and min srals are in
great abundance, fish, coal, the cere-
reals, etc.
Louisiana makes fine exhibit of
the products of that State-sugar,
rice, tobacco, cotton, hemp, &c.
Our State Geologist, Mr.. Earle
Sloan, has an exceptionally fine dis
play of minerals, and granite for
building purposes of a superior
quality.
The Cotton Palace, the q. S. dis
play, Commerce, Art, the Woman's
Department, Maryland, Machinery,
all are intensely interesting and will
require days to do justice to these
departments alone.
The exposition grounds are beau
tifully laid off in plots where ever
greens are planted with roses and
pansies growing, and will, by the
iddle of March or first of April,
prove wonder to visitors, when in
bloom; besides this beautiful show a
few miles up the Ashley river, issitu-
sted Magnolia or Drayton's garden
a most lovely place to visit, the
home of the Agules, where perhaps
one hundred or more colors and
shades, are to be seen-an elysian on
earth! The ladies should not fail to
zee these beautiful grounds, and there
drink in the beauties of nature.
Those who do not desire to stop at
the many first class hotels in Char
lesion, can, by writing to the many
boarding houses in the city secure
comfortable quarters and at mod
| crate rate. Among the number is
Mrs G. S. Smith, 176 west end of
| Wentworth street, who is ready and
willing to do the right thing for all.
1t is necessary to engage quarters in
advance. The Exposition grounds
can be reached by the street cars for
five cents from any point in the city,
| taking the precaution to get a trans
fer ticket where your line ceases.
Admission to the grounds SOC.
Dinner can be had on the grounds.
The midway is very attractive.
Here people from everywhere are to
be seen, all engaged in selling the
| various kinds of trinkets peculiar to
the section of the world of which the
| venders are natives. The Battle of
Manassas. The Esquimo's and their
| performances, the noted Jim Key the
educated horse, the riding of camels
and an elephant are among the attrac-
tions of the midway.
Taking the whole show from the
start to finish, it will crafty and
please everybody, and should be
visited by all our people.
The people of Charleston deserve
| great credit for the pluck and energy
displayed by them in getting up so
wonderful a. ssshow, and it deserves pa
tronage from all sections, especially
80 from South Carolina.
