Charleston Greatly Benefited.


While the South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian exposition, which was
formally closed June 1st, has not been
a financial success, business people in
Charleston have not suffered financial
loss. On the other hand. the big show
has been of marked benefit to the COM
munity and splendid results are ex-
pected to follow.
Considering the very small white
population of Charleston, the under
taking was gigantic and the ability of
the exposition company to carry on
the enterprise was doubted. The ex-
position, however, lived and fourished
for six months and many arguments
have been advanced to prove that 1t
was of very great value to the city.
The attendance fell far below the
mark expected. In the matter of rail-
road rates the Southeastern Pas
senger Association granted a scale OF
rates which was much lower than that
ever offered for any other exposition.
At the last meeting of council it was
decided to purchase the property
owned originally by the Jockey Club
and have it converted in to city park.
This property embraces the cotton pal
ace, sunken gardens, the state build
ing and other parts of the exposition.
The idea of having a permanent ex-
hibition to display South Carolina
products has met with popular favor,
and the plan will doubtless be put into
effect.

Big GLUMBER COMBINE
Sawmill Interests in Southeast
Georgia are Consolidated.
AMOUNT INVOLVED $z,ooo,oee
Many Thousand Acres of Uncut Tim
ber Comes in Under the Deal.
Which Has Already Been
Closed.

H. M. Atkinson, OF Atlanta, Ca, has
just consummated one Of the biggest
lumber deals ever put through in the
south in com mbining the Union Lumber
Company, of Moultrie, Ga., and the
Pineopolis Sawmill Company, of Col
quit county, the combined interests
Of the two companies being valued at
approximately s2,000,000.
The deal was put through last Wed
nesday, and Mr.. Atkinson and T. j.
Coolidge, Of Boston, Mass, are the
principal owners of the new company,
which is to be financed by the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, Of At
lanta.
By the transaction the combined
company comes into possession OF
100000 acres of uncut timber. The
Union Lumber Company owns $4,000
acres of uncut timber and the Pineop-
oils Saw Mill Company owns 10000
acres. The com bined value Of the prop
critics controlled by the two companies
is estimated at from S1,500,000 to $2,-
100000.
The Union Lumber Company has
been controlled by the Title Guarantee
and Trust Company, and the Pineopo-
lis Saw Mill Company was controlled
by Martin Amorous and the Bacon es-
tate.
The Union company owns Al miles
of railroad, the Triton, Thomasville
and Gulf railway, and the Pineopolis
company owns 27 miles Of railroad, the
Tifton and Moultrie railway.
Besides a number Of other valuable
properties, the new company will
come into possession Of four sawmills
and will have facilities for cutting and
handling more timber than any other
company in the southeastern states.
The new company will probably be
known as the Union Lumber Company.
l. is understood that sum In the
neighborhood of $425,000 was paid for
the Pineopolis Saw Mill Company. The
new company will be controlled by
the Title Guarantee and Trust Com
pany. The arrangements for combin-
ing the companies have all been made
ana the merger will be put through
within few days.
The combination was brought about
through the efforts Of Mr.. Atkinson,
who reprsenets himself and Mr. Cool
6Sge in the purchase.

>TENNESSEEANS In CONVENTION.
Democrats Nominate Frasier for Gov
ernor and Mcknight for Railroad
commissioner-Fhe Platform.

Tennessee's democracy met at Nash
Vile Thursday and amid enthusiasm
and stirring scenes nominated the
Hon. James B. Frazier, Of Chattanooga
for governor and Hon. ]. Neil Nc
knight for railroad commissioner.
The platform was reported to the
convention without comment, and the
committee gave out no statement as to
how that body stood on the points at
issue, principal among which were the
Philippine question and the manner
of expressing Endorsement OF the Kan
sas City platform. The essential parts
of the platform finally adopted are
these:
Kansas City platform and position
of the democratic members OF con-
gress indorsed; declaration denounc'
ing trusts; plank favoring tari1 for
revenue only; denunciation Of the ship
subsidy bill and the republican posi-
tion on the Philippines, favoring the
speedy restoration of peace in the east
and giving them independence. The
platform declares against the IN
creased standing army, denounces re-
publican extravaganza and favors the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal.
The planks following express SYM
pathy for the Beers, liberal commercial
relations with Cuba, indorse the ad-
ministration Of Governor McMtllin, de-
clare for such revenue laws as would
reasonably limit the lien or right OF
recovery for taxes and such assess
ment as would make back taxes or
reassessment unnecessary. The plat
form next indorses the public school
system and the uniform textbook law
and the establishment Of good roads.
Less important features are the de-
claration in favor Of the state fair
proposition, which has so agitated the
people of Tennessee who favor the pro-
motion of the agricultural interests OF
Tennessee, revision Of the state laws
on the inspection Of coal mines and
factories to afford bette: protection
for the laboring classes.

CHARLESTON SHOW ENDED.

With Sounding of Taps and SaIutes
Lights of Ivory City are Turned OFF.
At midnight Saturday night Presi-
dent Wagner turned off the electric
lights, the buglers sounded "taps," a
salute was fired, and the South Caro-
lima Interstate and West Indian expo
sition of Charleston had passed into
history.
The exposition opened on the 1st
of December last, and the six months
of its existence have made most bril-
liant season for Charleston. The first
half of the time was not so prosperous
for the fair but during the last three
months great crowds visited it.

All the commercial exchanges were
closed, as well as many places OF busi-
ness and the flag on the city hall was

CharIestonians Favor Harris.

CharleStonIanS Favor f1arrlS.
1t is said that the fight which Sena-
tor Tillman is making against the con-
firmation of W. l.. Harris as postmas-
ter at Charleston does not meet the ap-
proval of the business men OF the city.
While Mr.. Harris is republican,
the fact that his confirmation is not
being fought in Charleston brings
about a rather unique political situa-
tion. The only opposition has come
from disappointed office seekers, who,
it is asserted, have misrepresented the
conditions to Senator Tillman. 1t was
announced that Senator Tillman would
be requested to cease further opposi-
ton to the confirmation.
OF the various candidates seeking
the office three were democrats, and as
such they were entirely eliminated in
the fight.
Harris has been a resident Of
Charleston for more than three years.
He is not looked upon as an alien, but,
on the other hand, is bona fde resi-
dent of the city, and because Of his
business qualifications the people Of
the city, with few exceptions, are sat
isied with the appointment. Harris
owns property in the city, his wife is a
Charleston lady, and he is otherwise
identified with the community.
The city is not opposing him, but
delegations have made the request Of
Senator Tillman that he will assist
in his; confirmation rather than use ef-
forts to defeat it.

NO EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.

News of Cessation of War in South
Africa Received NonchaIently.
The news of peace in South Africa
reached Paris too late for publication
in the afternoon papers and did not be-
come generally known during the day,
hence it caused no excitement. Mon
day mornings papers, however, give
due prominence to dispatches announc.
ing the fact and describing the way
the news was received in London.

A distinct earthquake shock was

the recent volcanic eruption Of Mont
Pelee had something to do with the
shock.

with Lord Kitchener's announcement
from Pretoria that he, Lord Miner and
the Boer delegates had signed terms
of surrender"
This announcement had been ant1cl-
pated for several-days and it was def
nitely forecasted, but its receipt ID
London Sunday afternoon took the, ma
ton by surprise, as everybody had
confidently believed that the house OF
commons would hear the first news
on Monday. The edge of anticipation
with Great Britain awaited the prom
iseda statement in the house OF COM
mons from Mr.. Balfour, the govern
ment leader, was still further dulled
by the following message from King
Edward to his people, which was is
sued after midnight Sunday night:
Kino Edward Announces News.
'The king has received the welcome
news of the cessation Of hostilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction,
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily follow by the restoration OF
property in his new dominions and
that the feelings necessarily engen-
dered by war will give place to earnest
cooperation. on the part Of his majes-
tvs South African subjects in promot-
ing the welfare Of their common coun-
try"
How greatly King Edwards insist
ence that peace In South Africa be Sc
cured PRIOR to his coronation infiu-
enced the present agreement will prob
ably not be known until the private
memoirs Of the present regime are
given to the public.
Kruger Heartbroksn.
According to a dispatch to The Lon
don Daily Express from Utrecht, Hol-
land, Mr.. Kruger was Informed shortly
after 9 o'clock Sunday night that,peace
had been declared. He had been
asleep.
"My God" he said, "it is impossible"
Telegram Was Brief.
At about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon
the war Office received the following
dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, Saturday, May 81, at 11:15
p. M:
"a document concerning terms OF
surrender was signed here this evening
at 10:30 o'clock by all the Boer repre-,
sentatives as well as by Lord Miner
and myself"
The clerks on duty at the war office
transmitted this message to Bucking-
ham palace, where King Edward was
lunching. At about o'clock word was
received permitting the publication Of
this message and the small notice
which was stuck up outside the war
Office consisted Of a copy of Lord
Kitchener's cablegram. A similar no.
tice was put outside of the colonial Of
fee. Beyond these two skimpy bits OF
paper London knew nothing of the
great event. In the clubs, the hotels
and newspaper offices, which were al
most deserted, the momentous news
was ticked out on the tape. Then.
like wildfre, at about o'clock London
awakened to the fact that the South
African war was over.
