The capacity of the harbor is suffi-
cient to afford shelter for the navy OF
the strongest maritime nation on the
globe, with good anchorage up the rivers
on either side of the city
To improve this the United States Gov
eminent started jetty work in 1878 and
now the least depth of water in the jetty
channel between the open ocean and the
broad, open harbor of Charleston is
twenty-four feet at mean low water. The
mean rise of tide at Charleston is 90
feet and of spring tide about 6.2 feet.
This gives a depth of water at Charles
ton of more than twenty-nine feet at or
binary high tide and more than thirty
feet at spring tide. The Improvement to
the navigation of the harbor cannot be
over stated. The United States Govern
ment has been so much impressed with
the splendid strategic Importance of the
port and it's easy access from the sea
that it has provided for the establish
ment of one of the most important Navy
Yards at Charleston, the improvement
of the harbor entrance making it practi-
cable tor the heaviest ships in. the Navy

1t is an Exposition with an idea, and the
development of that idea is of transcen-
dent Importance to the Nation as well
as to the State of South Carolina and

ing but the touch to still wider open
their gates.
The chief purpose of the Exposition.
which for six months from December 1st,
1901, to June list, 1902, is to dazzle all
visitors, is the promotion of a more in
innate commercial relation with the
seventy principal islands of the West
Indies, and to point out that Charleston
is the gateway to these, the outlet Of
this country with it's vast ability to pro-
duce, and the open port through which
may flow the return of the products from
those islands, for because of it's adj
vantageous geographical position as a
seaport and natural outlet for the sur
plus products of the Southeastern States
and the Mississippi Valley, and it's prox-
unity to the West Indies its mission is
an important one to American commerce.

stated in a government report.
1t is one of the best types of the old
colonial cities of the United States, and
its situation on the narrow neck of land
between the Ashley and Cooper rivers is
a charming and advantageous one. Along
the streets there are specimens of old
colonial architecture, and in the beauty
of the sunshine, telling tales of strange
tropic warmth and hints of summer seas
it's roses blossom in loneliness and its
hospitality keeps pace. When the cold
of winter makes it's frozen visit to the
North here is a season of perpetual de-
light. where from the open gardens there
are gathered roses for the bowl upon the

tributary section. This is South Caro-
lima. North Carolina, Georgia., Virginia,
West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. In
other words all States east of the Mis-
sissippi river and south of the Ohio end
Potomac rivers, except a small part of
Louisiana. The total area of the Great
Southeast, as thus defined. is 449, 15
square miles, or 14.S per cent of the area
of the whole United States exclusive Of
Alaska and the newly acquired Islands.
1t is as great as the combined areas of
England, ireland, Scotland, France, Italy
and Belgium. It's population, as given
in the United States Census of 1900, is
16,340, 225 or 21.4 per cent of that of the
United States exclusive of Alaska and
the islands.

mand more railroads and there is prospect
that these will be built, increasing the

ton is a profitable one for railway CAPT

To it has been allotted more than its
share of war, pestilence, fire, cyclones.
earthquakes and the horrors of misrulc.
These have all been clogs upon the
wheels of progress, but they have not
deferred her people from endeavOr upon
endeavor. Arising buoyant among the
wreckage of tempest tossed waters Of
calamity, her people have ever turned
with hope to the future, and their pluck
and indOmitable energy mean that abiG
ing success and prosperity must come.
It's people are distinctive people, and
this comes legitimately from a union Of
a trio of ancestral races whose predomi-
mating characteristics are all sOftened
and toned by the native CharlestOnian.
To this place came in the days of the
Lords Proprietors many sturdy English
colonists. followed a little later by the
prosecuted Huguenots, and then the
Scots, driven from their first landing
place by the Spaniards. Evidence OF
these triple factors in the city's life IS
shown in the French style in the archi
lecture and the courtesy which surely
came from HuguenOt, in the customs Of
the place and in its noble conservatism
we see the English, and in the pluck, en-
ergy and endurance we see the energy
and endurance comes the Scotch.
