PROVING WHAT IS NOT DENIED

prove that the Charleston Exposition
WAS not ready and that tho exhibits
were not ali up when the Press Associ.
alton went there on the 18TH Nobody
has controvertcd that position The
only criticism The ilcralG and News
had to make of what the Observer said
was that it intimatcd that the editors
who visited the Exposition wero i'm
posing on the people by urging Chem
togo to SEQ tho Exposition before it Is
ready to bo seem" We proved, wo
think, to the satisfaction Of any Impair
tial critic, that in our writc-up of the
Exposition there was nothing misleud-
ing along this line, and, therefore,
there could have been no "imposition
on the people," for we stated in several
portions Of the article that AT that time
tho Exposition was not complete. And
we do not think anybody who read the
article was fooled. And II the editor
OF the Observer read the reports by
other contemporaries who were at the
Press meeting he must admit they all
stated that tho exposition was not ready
III its completeness.
we can, however, see no good to
come to tho Observer, tho people who
read 1t, or tho Exposition, by continu-
Ing to try to prove that the Exposition
was not ready when it was oponed.
Nobody has said it WAS, and nobody hps
claimed it was.

The appropriation by tho Legislature,

recollection is that not many issues

aerver expressed tho opinion that he
had thought from the first that this
appropriation by tho Legislature was
unconstitutional, and, therefore, we
supposed he had opposed it from the
beginning, because wo thought it
hardly probable that he would advo
cate what he considered an unconstitu-
tional appropriation. We recall now,
however, that at the time the appropri-
