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

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

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. In making an excavation

is a built up island lying between
Fortress Monroe and the Exposi
tion Grounds. 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

The Farmer's Wife
Is very careful about her churn. She
' scalds it thoroughly after using, and glvea
it a sun bath to sweeten it. 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

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,

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
