The Corn Exposition was a de-

before the next one is held the man
agement and arrangements should
be better systematized. There has
been criticism and dissatisfaction,
much Of IL justifable and if the mat
ters complained OF are not remedied

The cotton crop in the tributary
territory to Sumter is practically
the same this year as last, and the
average price has been higher.
therefore there has been fully as
much or more money in circulation,
which should have made business
brisker and the volume of retaii
trade greater, especially if the argu-
ment of the prohibitionists is accept
ed as true that the abolition of the
dispensary would turn into the chan
nels of legitimate trade all the money
squandered on w'hiskey. What are
the facts? Ask a few of the mer-
chants how trade this year and last
year compare with the year before
and previous years.
If the trustees of Carnegies ten
