Thc South Carolina Inter-State and West Indiau Exposition will open in the City of Charleston, S. C., December 1, 1901, and close June 1, 1902. The Exposition Company has been chartered by thc State of South Carolina, with a capital stock of $250,000. Active work upon thc Exposition project has only been in progress since about the first of August last, and what has been ac complished in thc period that has elapsed since thea is without parallel in the history of exposition building. Thc site of thc Exposition will be on thc eastern bank of thc Ashley Uiver within a mile and a half of thc business cen tre of thc City of Charleston. Thc grounds are beautifully situated, and will lend themselves to the most artistic treatment. Ooc-half of tho grounds will bc devoted to the Main Exposition Building, thc Midway Concessions and the A i_:":_.__.:_.rr..c ? t, _ _. .. i._.

Some description of thc architectural features of the Eair will be of general public interest. The Exposition grounds aro divided into two main .sections, OTIC consisting of thc old Washington Race Course property and thc other of tho Wagoner farm, formerly thc Lowndes place. The Architcct in chief has adopted the general plan of developing the Race Course proper on purely constructive lines THE COTTON PA LAC E. and of preserving as far as possible the natural beauty of thc Wagoner place. Thc Race Course property has been employed for years for purely agricultural purposes, no races of any importance having been given there sinco the War between the States. This part of ? he grounds ?B entirely level. No better site, in the opinion of expert artists and builders, could bc found. About 22 acres have been reserved on to:t> part of the crounds for thc Midway Conces sions. The main Exposition buildings surround a grand court at the western extremity of the old^Racc Course. This will bo in shape something like an elongated horseshoe, with the Cotton Palace, or main Exposition building, oc cupying thc toe of the shoe, with the Commerce Palace and thc Agricultural Palace occupying respectively the two sides of the shoe. These buildings, with their connecting colonnades, will extend for a distance of about one mile. Within the horse-shoe there will be a Sunken (?arden covering several acres, with a lake in thc center. A wide esplanade or Alameda about GO feet in width will surround this garden. THE PALACE OF AGRICULTURE. At the northern end of the garden there will bo a grand Plaza from whioh a splendid view will bo obtained of tho main Exposition buildings. Tho vistas opening out from this point through grovos of palmetto trees whioh will lino tho outer edges of the walks around the Garden will extend for a distance of 2,000 feet. Just north of the grand Plaza will stand thc Auditorium building, directly opposite the Cotton Palaoo, from whioh a view may be obtained of tho entire Court Palaces, with thc Sunken Garden, and its trees and flowers and the sloping banks which surround it. Each of tho Exposition buildings will be 400 feet in length, with an average width of 1O0 feet, and, as already stated, will bc connected by colonnades, tho construction being suoh that the colon nades can be ussd for exhibits. THE PALACE OF COMMERCE. Among thc special attractions of thc Court of Palaces will be fountains and bits of statuary and handsomely designed columns of the Spanish type, all contributing to thc beauty of thc scene. At one end of the Sunken Garden a muBic stand will be erected, and at the other end a pergola or lattacc work screen, against which will grow, during thc Exposition period, the most beau tiful of tropical vines. In the centre of tho Plaza there will bc a sun dial ten feet in height and thirty feet in diameter. With every way the eyo looks there will bc visious of beauty. Toward thc south, thc great Court of Palaces, toward thc east, tho towers at tho entrance to tho Midway, and looking across thc entrance way the groves and minarets of thc Wagoner place. QTho main Exposition buildings will bo tho Cotton Palace, thc Commerce Palace, Agricultural Palace, tho Mining and Forestry Building, the Audito rium, the Administration Building, the Machinery and Transportation Build ings, and other structures devoted to railroad e? Iii bi ts, io restaurant purposes and to public comfort. Besides all these there will stand on thc Wagcnor place the United States Government Building, thc Woman's Building, the eevc-ral State and City Buildings and thc Negro Department. Tho Cotton Palace will be tho most imposing of thc Exposition building*. It will cover upwards of 50,000 feet of floor space, will be 550 feet in length and at least 100 feet in width. One of tho features of tho building will bo a irltmniffinyniHriVffiTir? ' i " THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, magnificent portico. lu tho center of tho building will rise an imposing dome to a height of moro thau 150 feet. In this building will bc displayed the pro ducts of the Cotton Mills of the country, and, a? South Carolina is the leading cottou manufacturing State of the South and the second cotton manufacturing State of thc Union, it is expected that the display in this building will be tho most complete and attractive that bas ever been made. Thc palaces of Agriculture and Commerce ?ill each ooo tain about 40,000 square feet of floor area, in addition to theil connecting arcades, which will contaiu io all about 20,000 square feet. Each of these buildings will havo a central dome and smaller turrets at the corners, emphasizing the entrames to these as well as tho center pediments. The interior of these buildings has been particularly designed tor both effective artistic treatment and practical . THE MINERAL AND FORESTRY BUILDING, utility. Thc windows in all of these will be carried at least eight feet abovo the floor, the roof trusses being constructed upon thc cantilever principle, thus avoiding thc usual massing of unsightly wooden frame-work and empha sizing thc graceful lines of arches and circles, starting from the principal domes and carried through thc wings and approaches. The Administration Building is of most attractive design and will be occu pied hy tho officers and staff of the Exposition. The Architect h? s departed widely from thc usual style in designing this structure. The priucipal Expo sition entrances and exits have been combined with it. Thc central dome of this building will bc about seventy-five feet in height and each wing will be flanked by other towera of lesser height but equally artistic design. In har mony with thc Spanish Renaissance type, which will prevail throughout the THE MACHINERY BUILDING. Exposition architecture, the buitding will be covered with a wide over-hanging roof of corrugated Spanish tiles. At the centre a wide balcony or porch will projcot boldly into the grounds. Inside tho central dome, which will be three stories in height, a richly dcooratcd colonnade will support the overhanging gallery. The Mineral and Forestry Building will oontain between twenty and thirty thousand feet of floor space This building will stand directly opposite the Administration Building. It will bo circular in form, with flanking towers. The interior will bo open from tho ground to the rafters and the exterior effects of strength and solidity will be gained by huge masses of walls, 'the enrich ment of this structure being secured by special ornamentation of its principal and sido entrances. Tho windows of this building will be high above the floor linc and tho whole effect of light and shade will be .gained by overhanging wide cornices; the Spanish Renaissance and the Spanish Mission type of architecture, as exemplified in Southern California and in Texas, being com bined ic a moBt effective way. All of the maiu Exposition Buildings will be connected in the large circle surrounding the Court of Palaces. , Rheumatism-Catarrh In the Blood.

There is decided opposition among members of the Confederate Veterana' Association of the District of Colum bia, tho Daughters of the Confederacy here 'and the Sons of Confederate Vet erans, to thc removal of the remains of the Confederates interred at Arling ton and other places around Washing ton, to Richmond, New Orleans or anywhere else, says the Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dis patch. They contend that their graves can bc kept green here, and tum ibey will be annually decorated and commemorated, oswell as in sacred Hollywood, or elsewhere. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and ex-Secretary of tho Navy Herbert have both writ ten strong letters protesting ugainst thc removal of tho remains of the vet A Confederate division has been laid off in Arlington with a site in the center for a future monument, if it should be desired to erect one. An appropriation of $2.500 has already been made by Congress to gather the rema! as of Confederates around Wash ingto ;nto this division at Arlington, but the constant agitation for their ;ijiovai to the South has prevented thc expenditure. If this agitation is kept up much longer the appropriation will expire by limitation, and certain Grand Army people will be gratified. Secretary Root and Quatermaster General Ludington are both anxious either to beautify the division at Ar lington and inter there all the Confed erate dead in this vicinity or to remove tho remains South, but they are with held from the former plau by the im portunities of the Southern ladiep, and from the latter by thc absence of thc necessary legislation ou the part of congress. . Speaking of the matter a leading ex Confederate said : "Let our dead lie in Arlington, where they are. It will be a beautiful division in that historio estate of the Lees. We have here one of the finest Confederate Veter an's Associations in thc whole coun try, and we have some of the noblest of the Daughters of the Confederacy and Sons of Confederate Veterans who will see to it that the graves of the gallant dead of the South are not neg lected. These graveB will be as well tai.cn oare of here as they could be in Hollywood or in any cemetery in Lou isiana." .mm? m mmm You Know What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonio because the f?rjala is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.

CATARRH Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with, lt is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing tn~re serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose atm throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. j. he blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and thc poison through the general circulation is carried to ch parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are ti:,satis factory and disappointing, because they da not reach thc seat of the trouble. S. S. S. does.

HARRIS LITHIA WATER Is th* strongest natural Lithia Water in the United States ! Which is shown by the analysis and testimonials from the most noted Physi cians of the country. Head what Major S. S. Kirkland, who i? known by almost every one in South Carolina : EDGEFIELD. S. O.. Apnin 12, 1900. MR J T. HARRIS-Dear Slr : I truly feel ao grateful for the benefits derived from Harris Lithia Water thar, were I able, I would like to erect a monument to commemorate its virtues sud curative powers. For over thirty years I have been a fearful anderer from what is known as Cy stitis or Catarrh of the bladder and eulargement of thc prostrate gland, caused from exposure and hard horseback ridina during the war and since, too. My bladder was constantly in a dreadful state of irritation, causing a constant desire to urinate, par. tlcularly during the night. My urine was of a very dark color, and thick with mu cus and deposits ; sometimes aa dark as any strong lye or black copper and of a very disagreeable odor. I consulted my physicians. Some of them, the most prominent io the South, and I believe they did all they could ; but I never experienced the slightest benefit from their advice. Old remedies and new remedies were used. Every known remedy I believe was taken by me and, besides, various mineral wa ters, but to no effect, and for years I struggled along ; and I truly believe that for over thirty years I did not enjoy ten cons?cutive days free from pain or annoyance from this dreadful disease of my bladder, until finally abont two or three years ago I let down and had to give up my profession (civil engineering.) I bad about con cluded to "throw up the sponge" and struggle no longer, when friends urged me to try Harris Lithia Springs, which I finally concluded to do, more by way of obliging interested friends than for any great good that I expected from the waters. I came to the 8pringB, reaching them abont the middle of Jan?? tired, sick and with little faith, but determined to givo the watara a fair and an honest trial, which I did. And I can truthfully and honestly state that I waa well rewarded for BO doing, for before I left there I slept soundly and was rarely disturbed by calla of nature, I was, for the fl rat time in over'25 years, passing" clear, healthy water-the result of the great and wonderful curative powers of Harris Lithia Water. Too much cannot be Bald for this great health-restoring fountain of nature. You are, gentlemen, at liberty to refer to me as to tbe great heeling propensity ot your Harris Lithia Water. I nave .\ oown of a number of ether parties who also have found great relief from this Water. Tours very truly, 8. &. KIRKLAND. We guarantee that one glass of Harris Lithia Carbonated Water will relieve any case of indigestion in one minute's time or money refunded, or if taken after each meal will cure the most stubborn case of indigestion. Why will you suffer when you have this guarantee ?
