THIS WEEK at The EXPOSITION.
Charleston is Full of Visitors and
the Attendance is Increasing.

With spring weather and the begin
ming of a real movement towards
Charleston from every section of the
country the Exposition will be popu-
lar and populous from this time on.
Charleston is full of visitors and many
have come to stay week or month,
and more come in every day to take
the places of those whose tickets have
expired. Every day will now be a gala
day at the Ivory City, and while several
events will follow each other in rapid
succession there will be crowds on the
grounds on the "days between and
the click of the turnstiles will be
heard continually. Yesterday, for
instance, was the day after big week
and the first week day following the
merriest day of the whole show, but
despite rather threatening outlook
meteorologically there we're thou
sands of visitors on the grounds. The
people who come now are making the
tour of the great buildings with inter
est and attention and all find that it
takes more than day to study and
appreciate the many wonderful and
beautiful and interesting exhibits.
Every exposition is a lesson to the
people who make exhibits, and this
being the latest, the experiences of
former affairs have bought the exhlb-
its to perfection.
During the present week the special
events will be the coming Of the
Daughters of the Revolution, the
visit of Admiral Schley, the hero of
Santiago, and Indiana Day. The
Daughters of the Revolution are ex-
pected to hold a very interesting meet
ing in the Exposition Auditorium
Thursday and Admiral Schley will be
present as a special guest. The day
will be a very lively one for Charles
ton and the Exposition.
Indiana Day will be- an interesting
date in the Exposition calendar and
will bring to the city and the Exposi-
tion Governor Durbin and staff and a
party of ladies and gentlemen from
various portions of the Hoosier State.
The Exposition grounds are illumi-
mated every night and the electric dis
play is only now beginning to be ap-
preciated, for the reason that people
have been in the habit of leaving
before dark. When the weather was
cold the grounds became deserted
early, and it is only recently that
there has been much life on the
grounds after nightfall. With warm
er days and nights the place will be
filed with sightseers and pleasure
seekers until a late hour.-News and
Courier.

Charleston Buys Exposition Build
ings.

Charleston, Feb. 24.-The city coun-
Gil of Charleston tonight passed an or
dinance authorizing the purchase OF
at least half of the grounds on which
the exposition is being conducted. This
tract includes the colonial mansion,
the Oak Grove and the lands border
ing on the Ashley river. Council also
appointed commission to.spend S25, OO(
more in purchasing the ornate brick
art building and other buildinsg if ad-
visable. The purpose is to establish
beautiful city park on the bank OF
the Ashley, after the close of the ex-
position, the government having
bought so large apart of the Chicora
park tract on Cooper river as to make
that property contracted for public
pleasure resort.

A Suggestion.

No man, however good a citizen he
may be, who is connected with, or an
terested in, any corporation, local or
foreign, directly or indirectly, should
be elected a member..of the city coun-
ell, if it is reasonably certain that any
of such corporations shall, during his
term of Office, come before council
seeking fayors or contracts that will
conflict with the best interests of the
people at large. Personal interest
sometimes blinds the eyes of good
and honest men to the interest, OF the
public One Citizen.

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us
making its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and ag-
gravated. There is not much poetry
in this, but there is truth, and it is 9
wonder that more people don't get rid
of these ailments. The medicine that
cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla-is
easily obtained and there is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent.

sumer Of oil made from corn, and is every
year demanding larger supply. This first
big shipments were made in 1899, when
$685. 900 worth was sent abroad. The next
year the export reached a value of 81, $685.

corn oil the most satisfactory, despite its
price of s23 barrel.
The principal constituent of the corn
kernel. so far as regards quantity. is the
starch. In order to extract this, the
shelled corn is placed in watts. about a
thousand bushels of corn to eight thous-
and gallons of water In the water is n
small proportion of sulphuric acid, just
enough to soften the kernel, loosen the
glutinous matter. and free the germ. After
thirty or forty hours the water Is drawn
off to be evaporated, so that any of the
corn 1t has absorbed may be recovered. In
former years this water was wasted, but
now the phosphates and albuminoids in 1t
amount to from one to one and half
pounds to bushel Of corn that has been
soaked. 1t is then mixed with the by
products which sell as cattle feed.
The mass left behind after the water is
