iina's unique plan Of representation at
the Ponama-Pacihc exposition is GER
tain to attract n large amount of at
tention. when the All South Carolina
Train" which leaves South Carolina
via the Southern Railway. June is,
reaches San Francisco ON June 26. two
days before the date officially desig-
hated as south Carolina Day The
state and the great West are going
TO shake hands and get acquainted in
a manne that will be beneficial to
both. as one result OF this broad
minded plan. II Is clearly paramount
Importance that the delegation which
will make the trip and represent this
state at the exposition be composed
OF delegates from every county and
community I'm the commonwealth.
Offers Many Opportunities.
The movement Is OF the most vital
interest to every individual. The plan
OF representation embodies the state
al a whole. Among other things. 1t
appeals to the patriotic instinct and
Offers an opportunity to forever abol-
ish the idea. which undoubtedly ex-
lists. that South Carolina as a whole. Is
dead TO her advantages. The value of
Advertising a state. or a community TO
the rUst OF the world has been so
cleverly demonstrated. especially in
the West. that no one will question
h worth of the "All South Carolina
Train" idea I'm this respect. The OPP
portnnity offered to advertise the
state as a whole. and each commu-
nifty separately. enroute Inc at a
Francisco. Is IN unusual one. A per-
sual of the itinerary shows that South
Carolina will. pm this trip. reach that
portion OF the country where II Is most
desirable that her advantages should
be well known.
For Pleasure Also.
The opportunities for Seeing Amer
lea First are unequaled by any CO.
operative movement OF the kind that
la ever taken place In this State be-
fore. But this Is too plain in the
minds OF all to require elaboration.
III there Is anyone who does not want
to 60 TO san Francisco and see the
sights OF the exposition. he is yet to be
heard from-and many are going.

Charleston. who has been selected by
n Commercial bodies of the whole
state. to plan the details OF the trip,
after careful consideration and a num-
Der OF conferences. Is confident that
no more desirable date of departure
could have been chosen. The idea is
that the many people. who have plan
ned 10 go from this State. can. with
all convenience. make their start
coincide with the date set for the de-
parture OF the official exposition train.
In that way. those who are going can
help to enlarge the delegation which

West to the great opportunities and
M great past and future OF South
Carolina.
San Francisco Is already taking a
great Interest In the coming OF the
delegation from this state IA evidence
cd by a letter recently received from

dent OF the United railroads OF san
