WHAT Viaitor to tho South Onrolinn Inter-
et"te anu "eat Indian Expedition, Char.
leston, Has to Say About 1t,

A recent visit to tho Exposition9
Charleston, enables me to say that
the entire show is perfect success.
The State exhibit in the State build
ing is superb, as we'll IA the various
county exhibits in the same building,
all arc MI fait in every particular,
and is we'll worth soeing no matter
what the cost, and is q schooling to
our people, especially tho young
people.
Mr.. A. w. 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
squa. pioco OF timber, over seventy
feet long and throo foot square! Be-
sides the woods and min ,rnls arc in
groat abundance, fish, coal, tho core-
reals, etc.
Louisiana makes fine exhibit OF
tho products Of that Stato-sugar,
rice, tobacco, cotton, hemp, &o.
Our State Geologist, Mr.. Earle
Sloan, has an exceptionally fine dis,
play OF minerals, and granite for
building purposes of superior
quality.
The Cotton Palace, tho U. 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
green's are planted with roses and
pansies growing, and will, by the
II iddlo Of March or first Of April,
prove wonder to visitors, when in
bloom; besides this beautiful show a
few miles up the Ashley river, is stu
ated Magnolia or Drayton's garden
"A most lovely place to visit, the
homo OF the Agulea, where perhaps
ono hundred or more colors and
shades, are to be seen-an elysian on
earlhl The ladies should not fail to
see these beautiful grounds, and there
drink in tho 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 oity secure
comfortable quarters and ut mod.
crate rate. Among the number is
Mrs 9. 3. Smith, 170 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 oars for
five cents from any point in the city,
taking the preoaution to get trans
fer ticket where your line ceases.
| Admission to the grounds 900.
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
tho section OF tho world of VIII .ch 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 attrao-
tions Of tho midway.
Taking the whole show from the
start to finish, it will CRAFTY and
please everybody, and should be
visited by all orr people.
The people Of Charleston deserve
great credit for tho pluck and energy
displayed by them in getting up 30
wonderful a. show, and it deserves pa
tronage from all sections, especially
80 from South Carolina.
