North, East and West, but knew
very little of conditions in the South.
He attributed this TO the fate that
other sections of the country have
been widely advertised. while this
section. up to the present time. has
done nothing towards advertising its
resources and letting people of other
sections know OF conditions here.
In summing up the results of the
trip, Mr.. Manning said: 81 believe
that we have been repaid by The
publicity given the South and that
seed have been sown for better mu-
tual understanding Of conditions
throughout the whole country. es-
pecially the South. and that the in
formation concerning the undeveloped
lands and water power in our section
has excited interest among those who
are In position To aid us in the de-
Nelopment of our resources ana. I am
confident that the convention will
result In much good I'm spreading
throughout the whole country the
true conditions i'm the South"

land.
Frank K. Lesesne, Lucien Nj. Le-
sesne and Albert Simons, members Of
the Carolina Yacht Club, made a
great swimming record yesterday. In
an attempt to make the Isle Of Palms

The Messrs Lesesne came out of the
water at the eastern extremity of Sui
livan's Island, where Beach Inlet di-
vides that island from the Isle of
Palms, and Mr.. Simons landed at
Station %, on Sullivan's Island.
The three started out from the
Yacht Club pier TT 10:4O a. m. ac-
companied by boat. The Messrs.
Lesesne came out Of the water at the
end Of Sullivan's Island at $40 p. m.
so that they were exactly four hours
and half in making the trip. They
had the ebb tide with them for the
whole Of the long swim, but they had
TO cross the current to make the is
land shore.
The Messrs Lee ne would un-
doubtedly have made the Isle of
Palms. for which they had set out,
had 1t not been for a shoal on the
end Of Sullivan's Island, upon which
they came at the end of their long
efrort They found themselves in
shallow water, and, rather than at
tempt long swim around the point
OF the shoal, they waded ashore at
Beach Inlet.
The swimmers made new record
for long distance swimming in Char
lesion harbor. 1t is estimtaed that
they covered course Of seven miles
and a half. They were in good shape
at the end Of the swim.-Charleston
