Mr. Editor: The South Carolina Press party, numbering about, twenty-five, in charge of Mr. E. 11. Aull, President, left Charleston, for Norfolk, on the Atlantic Coast Line It. It. special, Friday alto.noon inst. and reached that city early next morning. Mr. Keely of the Jamestown Exposition Management had invited the party to be their guests, for one day in Nor folk, in order that they might be carried over the Exposition Grounds and given some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking. So on our arrival at Pinner's Point, Portsmouth, we were met by a committee and taken across the Elizabeth river, on a tug boat, to Norfolk and were entertained at the Monticello Hotel, whore an elegant breakfast served in courses was provided. After breakfast, the com jnittee with their wives conveyed na by trolley carout to the Jamestown Exposition Grounds, some six miles distant?a ride of about twenty minutes. The Exposition Grounds cover about 450 acres on Sewell's Point, which juts out into Hampton Roads. The situ at ion is an ideal one?the sea breezes make the climate most delightful and invigorating.? The Exposition will be formally opened on May 1st, 1907, and continued until the 1st Noyem ber, 1907. It is intended to commemorate, in a fitting manner, the tinee hundredth anniversary of the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown, Va, on the 13th May, 1607. James-1 town, where Oapt. John Smith and his men landed, is not. far away from the grounds?now, being a little island in the James River between Norfolk and Richmond, about 35 miles from Nor-' lolk. This place marks tHe first settlement of English speaking people on the continent?and I was named in honor ol King James the First of England.? i Capes Henry and Charles, near Hampton Roads, were named! after the t wo sons of that name of the King. Sir Walter Raleigh ! was the moving spirit which sent ! out the exposition to America, and Capt. John Smith, one ot the party, inspired all the others, in spite of dangers front ferocious savages and tcmpestous weather J 4^ t . * 1 4 ? I ' n? II?mu (j :i 'o 111? i f- M.?M u'meiii,.? The Rchoo! cliil*lrt*n will recall how tin brave spirit was rescued from death hy the toautifu] Indian maiden Pocahontas, who threw herself between the Indian's club and this victim, cansingjher father, the blood tliirsty Powahatan, to relent and free tho captive. Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton and Old Point Comfort, are situated on IIump ton Roads and are within twenty minutes ride of the Exposition grounds by rail or water. Newport News has the greatest ship building plant in the country.? The yard has the largest dry dock in the New World. Ships may be seen in all stages of construction. Ohl Point Comfort, known as Fortress Monroe, is the largest and best equipped fortress in America and is t he chief Artillery station of the U. S Government. With the exception ol Gibraltar it is perhaps the greatest fortress in the world. Ocean View is located on Chesapeake Ray with in range of the monster guns of Fortress Monroe. A few miles away is the famous Virginia Reach with its great seaside ho tels and tne best place for surf i. i.: A ? I li ~ untuiii^ uii mo 41.1 i<iu uc ocu*t.? In addition to these points of interest, there are many side trips that can be taken. A trip up Chesapeake Hay is always ol interest. Just in sight of the Exposition grounds in Hampton Roads is where the historic fisdit between the Monitor and tlie Merrimack took place?the lust time iron clad met iron-clad.? This battle will be reproduced during the Exposition period.? Modern navies date from that period.

It consists of a fine pranite fort, earthworks within and without, carrying immense disappearing puns, having cost the government already $16,000,000 to produce. This Fort overlooKs and commands the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Nearby is York town, where Cornwallis surrendered his army to Gen. Washington. Richmond, the Capital of I lie Confederacy, can be also visited, as well as the many battle fields of the civil war. On arriving at the Exposition Grounds our party were driven in carriages to all the points of interest. Buildings are being rapidly constructed, and lor per inanent use, which is a departure from the usual custom. Hereto I >re, buildings of tins character, have been mere shells put up for temporary use, and, as soon as they had served their purpose, immediately torn down, but the buildings on the Jamestown Exp isition (hounds will be used per mauenlly alter the Exposition is over.

She knows that if her.churn is sour it will taint the > butter that is mado in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed processes which are exactly akin to the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into It? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone the had taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of ' the puro current of blood and the dissemination of disease throughout the body. Dr. l'ierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes tlio sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn?absolutely i removes every tainthig or corrupting eloment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stomach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any considerable number of them, indicate that you are suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy liver with tin* usual accompanying indigestion. or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements.
