Mr.. Editor: Visitors from the South
take special interest in the extensive
display made by the General Elec trio
Company, of Schenectady, New York
in the Electricity and Machinery Build
ing. This company built all of the elec-
trical apparatus which furnishes power
for many Southern cotton mills, and
also for the power stations used in illum-
mating Southern cities. Many South
ern street railways use almost exclu-
sively, equipments manufactured by
the General Electric Company, and
when one thinks OF the resources OF a
company which can supply anything
for electric lighting from a dynamo to
a lamp, and anything for street rail-
ways between the engine shaft and car
axle, it is evident that the interest
is at once fixed upon any display they
may make. With the broad spirit
which characterizes this cOmpany's
policy, it early decided. to make an ex-
tensive exhibit at Charleston. The ex-
hibit required four freight cars to tran
port it from Schenectady and is now
completely installed.
1t is decidedly interesting to examine
in detail the various parts Of the elec-
trical equipment OF trolly car, for in
stance, and to "see what makes the
wheels 90 ronnd
May CT the more important installa
tions of power for cotton mills in the
South, are illustrated by photographs,
at the company's exhibit, but not only
is this exhibit the most instructive one,
it is very comfortable place to spend
a quiet hour in the delightful reception
quarters provided for guests.
The attendance at the Exposition
during the early part Of the week ex"
ceeds any other period since the open
ing. The unreasonable weather of the
last three days depleted the attendance,
but a surprisingly large number braved
the dangers of lung troubles to see the
attractions.
Many visitors from the Piedmont sec
tion were down doing the exposition
this week. Mr.. E. A. Carlisle spent
two or three days taking in the expo
sitior and looking after the interests OF

Summer was at the Argyle for several
days He says the exposition exceeds
his expectations and cotton will 60
higher. Col. Geo. Johnstone was here
on legal business and also to take
look over the senatorial field. The
nuiet and always interesting colonel
has hosts of friends in the "city by the
sea" l noticed several citizens OF Sill
yer Street and Old Town on the streets
and taking in the great Southern show.

| hibit, she is furnishing her quota OF at

missionary who will bring lots Of re-
| cruits later.
