April 9. 2 South Carolina Day at Au? gusta. For the second day io the history of the Augusta Exposition Company have the legislators of South Carolina been its guests. Five years ago the members of the General Assembly of the great old state journeyed from their capital to the city on the baoks of the Savan? nah that is proud to acknowledge that she owes much of her Buccess and her prosperity to South Carolioa. In the walks of public life in Augusta may be seeo the soo of the yeomanry of South Carolina wbo has left the quiet of bis country borne to enter the more exciting strife of city life and help build up the commercial and idustrial prosperity of the great city of the Savannah valley. At many a fireside in old Augusta sits the queen of borne woo from the sonny hills and shady vales across the river, inca loaring in the young minds about ber the sweet thoughts of religion and the proud spirit of patriotism that ara the inheritence of every Southerner. It is no wonder then that the hearts and homes of Augusta were thrown open to the people of South Carolina, and that the welcome extended to them was as cheery and warm as the bright sunshine of nature herself which beamed like a benediction upon the mingling of the people, who though separted by state lines are bound by the same destiny, by mutual interests, by one aim and object-the upbuilding of the South and tbe development of the resources of the most magnificent country on earth. It was a gala, day in Augusta and there was an exodus of citizeos to the Exposition to meet aod mingle with their guests and to share in the common en? joyment of the pleasures of the day. Before the special traio on the Fort Royal road from Columbia, via. the South Bound, had arrived at the union depot the committee of directors of the Augusta Exposition Company bad all the legislators decorated with the badge of distinction that entitled them to the freedom and tee courtesies of tbe Ex? position. Among tboBe who were present were : THE SENATORS. Lieutenant Governor Eugene B. Gary, H. T. Abbott, W. S. Barton. J. W. Beasley, T. S Brice, W. A. Brown, C. M. Efird, A. C. Fuller, T. H. McDaniel. W.

At the depot they were met by the officers and directors of the Exposition Company, and headed by the Exposi? tion baud were escorted to Broadway and from there cars took them to the Exposition. In Music Hall a crowd gathered to bear the words of welcome and the hearty response. On the 6tage were Lieutenant Governor E. P. Gary, Hon. Ira Jones, Speaker of the House, Maj. W. T. Gary and President Patrick Walsh, besides a large gathering of the t>eualors and representatives. After selections by the band President Walsh received the visitors in a few words and introduced Hou. W. T. Gary who, delivered the address of welcoms. Mr. Walsh said : Ladies and Gentlemen, Liutenant Governor, and Gentlemen of the Gene? ral Assembly of South Carolina: As President ol the Augusta Exposition Company, it is my pleasing duty to welcome you to the city of Augusta and to the Exposition. This Exposition is not the work of the people of Augusta or of Georgia alone-an equal share of the honor belongs to South Carolina, your state, which has contributed an essential part in its completeness. We potut with pride to this Exposition as an illustration of the wonderful resources and industrial progress of the South. We point to it with pleasure, because it exemplifies what we can do if we diver? sify our industries. I have the pleasure of introducing to you a gentleman who, though a Georgian by adoption, is proud of hi nativity. Our people have honored hit with place and preferment, and be ha worthily discharged every public dat entrusted to him by the people of thi county and by the government of th United States-Hon. W. T. Gary, wh will deliver the address of welcome. MAJ. GARY'S ADDRESS. After another selection by the band Maj. Gary rose, and io earnest word eloquently welcomed tbe Legislature o South Carolina. He said : " Representatives of the South Care lina Assembly, Ladies and Gentle men : "It would indeed be a cold heart tba would not be moved by this high testi monial of praise that has just been ac corded me by the president of the Au gusta Exposition, and it is with sincer gratitude I thank bim for his kim words, hoping that I may continue ti tread that path of life which will alway place me in a position to deserve sud praise. **I welcome you. gentlemen of Soutl Carolina, to our city in behalf of tht Agricultural society, in behalf of th? city of Augusta, and in behalf of th? Exposition Company ; we throw <>per our doors and receive you as one of us trusting that as of yore we are oin people with but one land. ** 'Tis an honor to represent the mer chants and business men of Augusta, for they are known to you as well as tc myself, for their high standard of integ rity, honesty and uprightness in al! dealings. Their hospitality is as bound less as their great future. 44 We welcome you to Augusta and the Empire1 state of the South, knowing that you take a deep and sincere interest in our prosperity and are always read* and willing to extend your bands and hearts whenever your sister state calls upon you. When the Augusta Exposi? tion was first talked of there were Doth? ing but words of discouragement from all sides: the croakers did all in theil little way to cast a damper on this great enterprise and exerted all their efforts to kill it in ifs incipiency. When it came to this point, Hon. Patrick Walsh, the able and talented president of the Exposition Company, to whom all praise and booor is doe, simply ex? tended his band over to South Carolioa and said, I want you to help us. Too can now judge as t? what South Caro? lina and Georgia have jointly accom? plis ) ed. ' ' We throw open the portals of our city, Exposition and State, and welcome you as Joseph welcomed bis brothers in Egypt. I know the sons of the noble sires who followed Marion in the swamps of the Pee Dee and know that the sun? light of God never shone on a braver or truer race of men ; they are ever courageous and intrepid in the time of war, and in the time of peace they have stood by the commonwealth in a man? ner which bas commanded the respect and admiration of the whole couotry. ''South Carolina, one of the grandest mates in tbe Union, whose clime and every natural aspect vies with the gard? en spots of the world and stands the peer of all, has caused the Italian to leave bis beautiful sunset, tbe German to for? get his Faderland, and the Swiss to desert bis grand and glorious scenery. Her sons are as patriotic as ever breath? ed and are equal to any in culture and refinement that the world produces. "She is to-day represented by as brave, noble aud patriotic meu as ever represented her. These young spirits koew that she was not to remain as a prisoner aud valiantly came forward to see that she should occupy the exalted position which she is entitled to. They are all saviours of tbeir eouo'ry and are deserving of the praise that has been heaped upon them. "You need have no fear of South Carolina when lu the hands of such able meo and ber future is sure to be replete with prosperity and plenty. She is all right and will continue so from now on to the end. 4'It was mine to live in the hallowen sphere of that patriot, statesman and scholar, Pickens, and it is now my lot not to be separated entirely from you, for the ties that still are yours are mine, and the patriotic feeling that inspires you truly inspires me God Almighty bas created South Carolina and Georgia side by side aud thus it shall forever be. Both are equal io grandeur, and both have the same civilization and same education. Oar only difficulty is we do not know where the dividing linc begins aud where it ends. "Did either ever fail to assist or help the other tu the time of need ? May we never live to seo the day when such ties as those that now exist shall be in any way outraged To make it more forci? ble I might use that mandate which we are all familiar with, 'Whom. God has joined together let no man put asunder.' "Our people love you and are always delighted when you honor tbem with your presence, aud it is a great pleasure that you afford them on this occasion. Our business men welcome you and the whole city rejoices at your arrival. " The fair maidens of our city, the like of whom cannot be found in any other state ip the Union, join in the welcome that is accorded to you. What shall I compare the maidens of Agusta to, the lily with all its grandeur and stateliness or the roee with its beauty. grace and sweet perfume ; neither one for with all their beauty and loveliness they have not the maiden's soul. They are the perfect work made in the like? ness of Him. "Like Dido, on your departure they shall stand with the willow in their hand and wave you their love, hoping that you may soon return to Carthage." Maj Gary was frequently applauded. When be bad concluded President Walsh advanced to the front, and said be had the honor of presenting the Hon. Eugene B. Gary, the distinguished Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, who would make reply to the address of welcome. LIBGT. GOV. GABY'S RESPONSE. Lieoteoaot Governor Gary, who has been elected by the present Legislature of Sooth Carolina. Associate Justice of South Carolina, steppep forward and made the following brief response to the address of welcome. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle? men : In behalf of the Joint Assembly of South Carolina, as its presiding officer, it gives me pleasure to boar these warm words of welcome, and the many pleasant things that have been said about our state and her people, We are pleased to hear the credit given us for tbe success of this Exposition. We are glad to hear of the ties that bind the men of Georgia and Carolioa together, and we trust that the link of friendship will never be broken. . When we needed help you came to our assist? ance, and when you needed help we went to your rescue. I am familiar somewhat with the his? tory of your state and your city, and know of the true courage of your men, and the sincere, kind feelings they have for Carolioa aod ber people. The flag bas been furled and new battles are upon us-tbe fight for the agricultural aod industrial development, and the progress made bas distinguished Georgia Permit me to say, with no invidious comparison, that oar state is the equal of the Empire state of the South. We feel proud that Augusta bas set such au example, and we intend to improve ourselves by the education this graod show affords us. When we come aod see this beautiful building, filled with varied exhibits, showing the diversified manufactured products of this sectioo, together with the magnifi? cent agricultural display, it fills us with delight, and we will return to our homes with new inspiration. Yes, you have accomplished something un paralled in the history of the South. Hard as tbe times are, you have made a success of the Exposition. I am ad? monished that the time is short tbat we will be with you, so again I return sincere thanks for the happy remarks made tn welcoming Carolina to the Exposition-Augusta Chronicle The New Judges.

James, will make a motioo before Judge Fraser (mention of which- was made in our last issue) to dissolve the injunction forbid? ding Mr. James from selling liquor. -Darlington News. The Governor's Message on the Dispensary. The true aoimus of the liquor law eoacted by the last Legislature isclearjy indicated by recommends ions contained in the recent message to the Assembly. lt ts oow as clear as the noonday san that the State authorities desire to force liquor upoo tbe people, regardless of their wishes. The ostensible aim of the dispensary is to regulase an evil; its real aim is revenue No one in bis senses, it seems to us, cac for a moment doubt this. Tbe rev?cue feature bas not been a conspicuous success, as shown by tbe fact that the Governor bas been forced to include in bis esti? mates, in order to swell his figures to respectability, the hypothetical, pro? fits oo the jug of whiskey to be sold next Christina.*. Perhaps the whiskey will be sold But to say that such a procedure ts un'atr anu deceptive is stating the case m tia ly. This ts not the worst, though oad enough. A pretext is found iu the necessity for revenue, to strike a fatal blow at the prohibition couoties in the State It is claimed that the dispensary is paying a "handsome revenue," and yet tbe peo? ple of the prohibition couoties must sub? mit to a special tax to enforce prohibi? tion in those counties. Prohibition is to be cured or blasted by this "heroic measure," because prohibition is the enemy of revenue, not of morals. The friends of temperance who have been fondly cheating themselves into the belief that the dispensary was a step toward prohibition may now open their eyes upon the lurid prospect and in the day of calamity "Moab may bowl for Moab." The utter and remediless rooting out of prohibition and the emphatic damnation of moral principle is simply a question as to whether the Assembly will be found sufficiently servile and instrumental to adopt the suggestions made iu the message. With local option dies the last hope of prohibition.-Baptist Courier. Carpet-Baggers.
