* HIGHEST PRAISE TO CORN EXPOSITION Sprrpfurv Will.* ? J fiuovu uI I'dllV nil" | pressed With Excellence of Show and Its Benefits to City, State and Section. By P. H. McGowan. Washington, Feb. 4.?"I want , ^to congratulate the city of Col^lumbia, the State of South CarV olina, Representative Lever, and the managers of the National Com Exposition on the show they have. I was royally entertained and certainly enjoyed my visit to Columbia." This statement was made today by James M Wilson, secretary of agriculture, in the course of an interview on the Columbia com show and its educational effect. The secretary spoke feelingly of the hospitality shown him bV thft Rnilt VlOT-n nonnla MA jyWJ/IV ?1IU continued: "One of the things that most impressed me was the element, lacking in most every occasion of the kind, of business and the desire for beneficial and permanent results. "The exposition will undoubtedly result in great lasting effects not only to the city of Columbia and the state of South Carolina, but the entire South, in showing the great possibilities of the undeveloped resources of the section and demonstrating what the variety of soils are adapted to. "I was pleasantly surprised with Columbia. They have a fine city, one of substantial foundation. A healthy and prosperous growth is ahead of it. "The South has a great agricultural and manufacturing fuf ture before it and South Carolina, with its great wealth of natural resources, will be one of the leading states in developing and with such men as Mr. Lever representing it in Congress, as probably the chairman of the agricultural committee of the house, will be able to develop its resources through national legislation." Character and Credit. Reference has been repeatedly made to the statements of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan before i'--* the Pujo congressional committee as to character and credit, and their respective value in business. The detail of the conversation between Mr. Morgan and the committeemen and attorneys stresses the high value put on character by the great financier and carries with it a v lesson, especially to men just * starting in the battle of life. Portions of the colloquy are: "I know lots of men, business men, too, who can borrow any amount, whose credit is unquestioned." "Is that not because it is be- 1 lieved they have the money back of them?" "No, sir; it is simply because people believe in the man!" "And he might not be worth anything?" "He might not have anything. I have known a man to come into my office and I have given him a check for a million dollars when I knew he had not a cent in the world. "There are not many of them ?" "Yes, a good many." "Commercial credits are bas- ! ed on the possession of money or property?" continued the cynical lawyer. "Money or property or character," replied the great banker. | "Is not commercial credit j based primarily UDOn monev or property ?" "No, sir; the first thing is character." "Before money or property?" / "Before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it." "A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom." "Is that the rule all over the world ?" "I think that is the fundamental basis of busines." Pierpont Morgan does not? certainly in this he did not? talk for effect. This is an old man's message; a rich man's message; a successful man's message; a cold, calculating man's message to fhe country, and to the generation to come. ?Augusta Chronicle.
