a large oil painting OF a cotton mill
located on a cotton plantation, the
hsnds picking and hauling the lint to
be manufac tured into fabrics. On
this is printed the maxim, "Invest
we'll, the factory in the field pays"
Also in the exhibits are some interest
ing relics of bygone days. In hand
some case are about twenty battle
SCARED flags representing the struggle
for the lost cause. The original Or
d1nance of secession that cleared the
old south state from the union, the
original ordinance of notification,
also several old treaties made with
the Indians.
Missouri has fine exhibit especial
ly fruit, red apples predominating and
ought to give her the cognomen,
Red Apple State. Oregon and Illinois
have creditable exhibits in fruit and
cereals. The northern visitor would
be interested in Louisiana's exhibit,
especially the sugar cane and process
of making sugar from it, she also has
a display Of rice and long staple cot
ton. The United States government
shows the same exhibit displayed at
the Pan American and is we'll worth
making the trip to see. Every de-
partment has part in the exhibits
and what is shown would take several
days to see in Washington. Pennsyl
vania, Illinois, Maryland and New
York have State buildings. The
Louisiana purchase exposition has a
building, also Philadelphia and Gin
cinati nave each one. The Woman's
building is an old plantation home
built by Maj. Lownds, an old Carolina
family nearly two centuries ago. 1t
is beautiful place surrounded by a
score or more of immense live oak
| trees, and contains much rare Colo
NAL furniture and silver. The ladies
| have typical rice kitchen in it where
this cereal is served in several differ
ent dishes. The Negroes of South
Carolina have fine building in which
they have display of their own man
ufactured products, some Of which
are very nice workmanship.
The electrical display of the many
colored lights that blaze from the ex-
position buildings every night are re-
Elected in the waters of the Ashley
and the lagoons flashing their bur-
nished light on the armament with a
dazzling brilliancy that spreads over
the city making night almost as light
as day: hundreds of people linger or
the broad porches of the old mansions
to enjoy the beautiful sight. There is
story of one of the Battery Set,''
who was entertaining some people
from Massachusetts and while enjoy
ing these outings one of the guests
expressed admiration of the beautiful
moonlight. The host replied it was
very inferior to what it was "before
the war;"
The visit of the president to the
exposition was much appreciated by
the people of South Carolina. The
little episode of their lieutenant
governors affront to him on account
of the presentation of sword to Maj
Micah jenkins of the Rough Rider
command was one not relished by
the populace at large. The scoring
he received from the state press was
sufficient proof of the condemnation
the public gave his bellicose attempt
at aping ante-bellum manners under
the guise of Southern chivalry. The
manly refusal to accept his gift by
Maj. Jenkins revealed the loyalty of
true soldier to his commander and
with genuine alacrity the entire state
