From there ran up to Jamestown to take in tU Exposition, which is 12 miles- o from Norfolk, reached by a line I steamers and by electric rai! way, ti latter going out about every 30 mi utes. The buildings are not all com pleted. The Exposition as a who is very good. Was very much gra iSed to see the excellent exhibit ma by our Palmetto State. The Sou Carolina exhibit is very beautiful and attractively arranged and ba tifully classified. The palmetto, co tou, corn, timber and minerale at the various products from the c ton mills of Greenville, Auderso Spartanburg, Easley, etc., are on e hibition. Was delighted to obser, minerals there from Woodall njou talus and Hakood farms in Picket county. This made me feel like was at hoine. Wofford, Clemson at Winthrop colleges and perhaps othei of our state had exhibits. I thiu South Caarolina has about the bei oxhibit of any of the states.

In old news d paper files it is known as "the year without a summer." There had rbeen nothing like it in the memory d of the oldest persons living, and there rhas been nothing like it since. May wasn a month of frosts and snow and ice formed an inch thick, 'tie said. At least one man was frozen to death in Verm-, t, where snow fell to the depth of ten inches. There were three inches of snow in New York, Sand water froze in ponds on the e Fourth of July as far south as Vir ginia. Corn was kieled. n August was no better, and the succeeding months were cold. In the spring of 1817 seed corn was sold for $5 a bushel. Similar condi tions were reported from Europe. In an Albany paper, dated several n years ago, James Winchester, 90 .years old, of Vermont, was quoted on r his knowlerige of that strange sum. mer.----[K. C.
