SOUTH CAROLINA DAY. At Jamestown .Exposition-An Ex change of Greetings With Vir giniL-Good Showing of Mil itia-Delightful Oc cas Lon. William Banks in State. Norfolk, Va., June 28.-Virginia and South Carolina are united by a new tie. It- is all due to the great sue cess of "South Carolina day," The two States have ever been closest in the sisterhood, and today marks -a new era, not in statesmanship, not in martial achievement, but in personal contact that the inspiration received therefrom. Virginia acknowledges South Caro lina to be her beloved sister and South Carolina did herself proud in measuring up to aU expectations of this day. The ceremonies incident to "South Carolina day" celebration at the Jamestown exposition were attended today by a crowd of enthusiastic South Carolinians which filled the lower floor of the large auditorium. The exerecises were most auspi ciens, and the exchange of greetings between South Carolina and Virginia was the distinguishing feature. The exercises were called to order on time by Capt. Wm. E. Gonzales, chairman of the South Carolina com mission, who, in a very happy man ner, felieitated the South Carolin ians upon being here at this time among the hospitable Virginians. He -then presented Goqv. Ansel, who, it was announced, would preside over the exercises. "At Home in Virginia's House." Gov. Ansel was given an ovation. Capt. Gonzaless stiatement that at the evening reception.South Carolina would be "at home in Virginia's house" was also cheered heartily. The enthusiasm was thrice renewed before he could speak. Gov. Ansel appears to be growing upon the peo ple of South Carolina an on public occasions such as this they hail him right heartily. He spoke briefly but feelingly and in an impromptu man ner, which showed his appreciation all the more. After expressing his thanks for the warm welcome Gov. Ansel said he br in Virginia the greet y in South Caro hertoth .Carolinian for Virginiai e there are many sad and sacred spots in Virginia dear to South Carolinians. He brought the greeti.ngs of the State of South Carolina to the commission for its great achievement-a work which had 'been so highly complimented on all sides. This exhibit shows what South Carolina can do, what she has done and what she will do. (Cheers.) He came to bid all welcome to this feast and his only regret is that every South Carolinian could not be pres ent. He then with pleasure introduced ''the chief magistra te of the greatest State in the UJnion, except South Carolina, which is her' peer, Gov. Claude E. Swanson of Virginia.'' Gov. Swanson also was given *an ovation. He is a man of striking presen'ee and of charming personal itv. He is a trained speaker, an elo quent man and a Virginian. Our Militia Complimented. H'e first complimented the South Carolina militia, saying that he was proud that they could yell as lustily as did their fathers on Virginia soil in days gone by. There have always .been close ties and warm and loving' friendships between Virginia and 'South Carolina. In the days of the organizatio.n of the government Vir ginia was large and South Carolina 'was small. Virginia gave to Suoth Carolina the right to one of her seats in the congress, for she knew that the place would be filled with brilliance and patriotism. Gov. Swanson spoke ve1y eloquent ly of the place South Carolina andI Virginia have held side by side in the aristocracy of States. They have been alike always. lHe spoke also of South Carolina's achievements in war, in literature, in seience, in all things. He complimented highly the South Carolina exhibit. He closed with a beautiful tribute to the life of Calhoun, which is worth more to the State of South Carolina as a hertiage than a great fortune. Gov. Ansel, after thanking Gov. Swanson for his eloquent references to South Carolina, presented the pres ident of the association, Hon. St. George Tucker. In a graceful speech of a very few minutes Mr. Tucker quite made a per sonal friend of every South Carolm-l ian in the auditorium. He told how, as a youth, he had been stirred by the mateilless eloquecelC of William C. Preston in a speech which caused V1r .m ; her ie: ermination and Viail would noi t turnh her arms against South Carolina. (Cheers.) He, too, complimented the South Carolina militia upon its fine appear ance and spoke beautifully of those South Carolinians whom he had seen in Richmond many years ago, men who had made glorious many a stream, many a hill, many a field in old Virginia. South Carolina has al ways been regarded as quick on the trigger, but who would not be quick to resent a wrong? Hampton's Name Cheered. He spoke of the greatest Carolin ian, Wade Hampton. Not so great in intellect as Calhoun, for no Ameri can 'has been so great, but Hampton was greater in all in his matchless self-control. (Cheers.) The exhibit of South Carolina is the greatest of all in the States' exhibit building, but far greater than the exhibit itself is the expression of friendship from South Carolinians. The white flower of friendship will add fragrance and color .to the beautiful b9uquet which has been brought to Jamestown by many sister States. In reply to a statement made by Mr. Gonzales, President Tucker said that there was nothing -at all nailed down, and for the boys of the Sec ond regiment to "take everything in sight, even the pretty Virginia girls, if you can get them." He concluded by saying that South Carolina outranks all others States because she has preserved to a better degree the ideals of former . days with the pluck and progress of today. The Military Features. The military features of "South Carolina Day" was a great success despite . the weather. When the troops fromed for the parade there was a heavy shower, but the blue jackets from the war vessels,in Hamp ton Roads and the marines marched with a swinging step and took posi tion just as if it were a pleasure to do honor to the State of South Caro lina. Gov. Ansel and party occupied.-the reviewing stand and watched the troops fromed for, the parade there branch of the military service of the United States was represented. With Gov. Ansel was Gov.

At 4 o'clock promptly the sharp statccato of the bugles announced the ap proach of the troops. First came thae Twenty-third- regiment of infantry., headed by a superb banid. This was followed by three companies of blue jackets, at the head of whieh was a bugle corp and band. Nine companies of marines in their dressy uniforms followed. Then came a squadron of cavalry a.nd a company of artillery, the latter exciting much admiration, and finally came Col. Henry T. Thompson and the Second South Carolina, headed by Schumach er's band.

An e.nthusiastie reception was given the regiment and the regular army men congratulatedi Gov. Ansel upon the fine deportment and ,attractive personnel of th'e men. A magnificent band from the Bra zilian gunboat occupied a station in the reviewing stand as a special com pliment to Sohth Carolina and gave a concert which was much enjoyed. "Dixie' and other Southern airs eli cited great enthusiasm. When the paradd was over many people crowded arouna to congratu late Gov. Ansel and the commissionl ers not only upon South Carolina's fine exhibit, 'but upon the entire suc ess of "South Carolina day.'' At the Virginia building in the evening a brilliant reception was giv en. South Carolina and Virginia were brought even more closely together thought this act of courtesy on th.e part of Virginia. Gov. Ansel and Mrs. Ansel and Gov. Swanson and Mrs. Swanson were at the head of the reviewing line. The beautiful building entertainment was said to have been the most delicately hospi tble of all which have yet been held. The arrangements for the recep tion were comp)lete in every detail and the representing a Southern home was the scene of kindly feeling and un stinted hospitality.

A desire to be taken seriously at all times and in .all the phases of their national life has led the Japanese co extremes. If Japan is really to join tfhe in ner circle of civilized powers she will learn long before -she is accepted as an equal in all forms of activity that she will, justly or unjustly, have to conform in essentials to Wes tern standards of manners and mor als in home and social life and in business. As best she could, she has already attempted to put on the outer grab of European and American civi lization, but it is only natual that the Eastern ways underneath should be constantly coming into view. Be fore the Japanese can secure an equ al footing with the other great na tions of the world in the struggle for achievement in the higher life they will be lauzhed at and even scorned to an extent exasperating to a proud ,and brave race. They cannot escape the ordeal. Every nation that has won its way to honor and esteem has passed through it.
