Twenty years ago the value the manufactured
products Of the South $45O0po0O0 Ia $50 the zig.
ures had mounted to $9l70O0O0O; in 1900 the great
total of S1466OOO 600 was reached or over 000
900 than in 1880 Then the mineral output in the
South which Is increasing day, is valued $780,
100000 additional.
The growth in the iron and steel industry in the
cotton mill business has been phenomenal Manulac.

Branch Line Proposed
From Bethune to Kershaw, via
Halle Gold Mine.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Kershaw, May 20 repre-
sentative of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad has been in Kershaw for
a few days looking over the souu-
try and consulting with Kershaw' S
bankers, leading business men and
most influential citizens with the
view to building n branch road
from Bettune, kcrshaw county,
by way of Halle Gold nine to
Ksrshaw. The people here, a.
we'll as the business men, are de
lighted to know that it is almost
an assured fact that the road will
be built at an early date. The new
read will be a great benefit to
Halle gold mine as they are now
three miles from the South Caro-
lima and Georgia Extension that
runs through this place and their
freight alone is quite IN item TO
haul that distance. A branch
opened up by the S. A. l.. people
would give Kershaw d more direct
line to the north and east and would
divide the passenger and freight
business that is now handled OK
clusively by the South Carolina
and Georgia Extension. If it did
not get ths entire business of thi,
place it would get the bulk of 1t
as our business men are wide awake
to the situation and are showing
their enthusiasm at the prospect
of having connection with the Sea
board and Will contine to do rs
they are now doing, namely, eX~
erting them mselves to help push the
project to completion III order to
have a competing line with the
Southern. The town expects to
have its waterworks in by Septom-
ber lst.

Wagner Day At Charleston
The President of the Exposition
Given a Great Ovation.

Charleston, S. G., May 22.-
Capt. Wagener is president of the
Exposition Company and has more
than once come to the aid of the
exposition when It's financial needs
were the sorest and the demon-
stratlon to-day was typical evil
deDce of Charleston appreciation
of his munifcence and public spi>
rit, for there were no free admis.
sions to the exposition to-day.
There was IL civic and military
parade from the city to the ex-
position grounds. Though Capt.
Wagner had earnestly requested
that only a meagre and formal
programme be observed at the
auditorium, the enthusiasm of the
people knew no bounds and he
was obliged to hear eloquent
encomiums upon his service in
addresses by United States Judge
Brawley and Mayor Smyth. He
responded modestly and in excel
lent taste, that the credit
for the success of the exposition
did not belong to him, for had it
not been for the faithful work OF
the board of directors he could
have never carried the exposition
through to success. He said that
while the enterprise had not been
q financial success it has been a
splendid success in many other
ways and In the end will benefit
the city. Already it has done a
great deal, but the most is to fol :.
low. The attention of the entire
US. has been within the past six
months directed to Charleston
and he was certain that with all
the advertising the city has re
ceived out of the exposition cap
ital will-be directed this way.
