LETTER FROM SOUTH CAROLINA,

A short distance from Charleston on
the banks of the Ashley river on
rolling tract of land of about one
hundred and fifty acres stands the
"Ivory City," where is being held
"The South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition" The lead
ing papers and magazines have pub
lished numerous articles penned by
able writer's describing it that anyone
by reading and study can become
familiar with this wonderful enter
prise of the people of the "Old South
City by the Sea" and to attempt to
sketch it's attractions after hurried
visit through the exhibits seems like
an idle effort. The grounds are
beautifully located and improvements
have added much to their charming
appearance. The famous "Sunken
Garden" filled with beautiful plants
and flowers, waving palms and pal
mettos, the lagoons winding around
it's borders, bridged by artistic spans,
the walks and circular formed ter
races and groups of statues fronting
the "Court of Palaces" like beauti
full frame of rare paintings are very
interesting. The statue of the Negro
group typifies the race as seen in the
South, a woman with basket of veg
etables and flowers on her head, a
cotton field hand with his hoe. The
Indian group, shows the capture of
the old chief Osceola, which is alleged
was accomplished by treachery: the
face indicates defiance and contempt
for those who captured him. The
most interesting, and in design most
artistic is the Huguenot group by Miss
Elsie Ward, representing family
composed of four figures, father,
mother, little boy and the babe; they
have just landed in America and are
in an attitude of gazing with wonder
toward the wild unexplored wilder
ness, in which they are to locate their
future home. Hope and despair are
clearly emphasized on their faces
The Colonial group allegorically
represents the winged figure Album
dance leading to prosperity, two fig
ures representing young colonies.
The buildings composing the Palaces
of the Court are very handsome. All
colored in ivory tint and decorated
with odd colors; delicate blues and
browns, old gold, terra Gotta and
maroon abound. The largest an6
most imposing, located in the ;centel
of the group is the Cotton Palace. II
has stately dome, pillars, cornices
unique in design and finish. 1t il
linked to the other buildings by COW
cred collonades with broad walks
that make them very convenient to
pass from one to another. The man
ufactured cotton exhibit represents
the product of about seventy five
mills and is composed of large vari-
ETY. of articles in yarns and the wet
in many designs in style and finish, 8
striking illustration of the magica
growth of the manufacturing indus
try of the "New South" Many Of
the state exhibits are the same dis
played at the Pan American. South
Carolina is the largest, and is ar.
ranged by counties. Rice and cotton
her staple agricultural products are
the most prominent. Both are shown
in the different stages of their growth:
rice in the rough seed, milled, whole
broken, also in the flour and mea
and chaff. Cotton is shown in
several stalks exhibiting all stages
of the plants growth to full fruitage

foolish and confiding that first Christ

Day after day she had carried the
red wine and spilled never a drop by
the way. Day after day she had asked
how near Christmas was now. And
when the day came there was never a

Lady Bountiful was feeling in a
particularly good mood that day. She

she was not rushed and cross like

She couldn't see what possible reason
there was for telling Lady Bountiful
any more, and it was only by persist
ent questioning that the story of the
affinity was drawn out.
Lady Bountiful said goodbye and
went into the shop. Toodles stood
gazing. her nose growing colder and
colder and she unconscious OF the
world.
All of a sudden The Doll drew back.
Toodles saw a long black arm reach
