"In addition to the above guara tee, it Is necessary to erect on the fE grounds a building sufficiently lar to take care of the exposition; t1 building has been purchased at a cc of $25,000, and is the largest auditc ium in the South, capable of seatii 35,000 people. You ,?T see from tl above that it required a total of $6, 000 to finance the proposition, $25,0 of which has been pledged by Columb for the building, and $40,000 must no be guaranteed. *This Is the largest proposition th has been undertaken in this State ai Is one of State-wide importance ai benefit. In addition of the expenditu: of $25,000 for this building, withol any solicitation as yet, three citizei of Columbia have contributed $3,500 cash; one of the .railroads enterii Columbia, the name of which will 1 revealed later, has n .bsc!lied $5,04 toward the guarantee; the city eharleston has already pledged a sul scription of $2,000, making a total $35,000, leaving a balance of '$30,04 yet to be secured In one of four di! e ent ways; eithe'i' by guarantee or cas or both. *The offiers of the association ha' already begun their campagin of pu lity, securing concessions, arrangir for State and other exhibits, securli special railroad transportation rate etc. "Monthly installments will have be pad -In ca, beginning lmmediat? ly, and it is therefore necessary tli the opportunity be afforded the unde sign'ed to present this matter to evel comimercial body in every county South Carolina which may b,interes ed in the agricultural and industri; development of the E~tate as soo.1 possible after Thursday, August 90. "Time and space will not permit Ti to go Into details through this ri *dium, therefore I would respectful: ask that your board of directors at .membership grant me an audience such a time and place as may be mot *onvenient. As It will probably 1 necessary for me to visit 25 or towns in the State, you will see t importance of giving this your ea: liest attention, that I may be ablei arrange an Itinerary that can be ca: ried out at the least expense and the shortest time. *"Kindly let me know as soon as poi sible whether you can arrange for suc sa audience at your regular month! meeting, or, if that time be now pas et some special meeting called for tl purpose, giving me the date, place at bour. "I am convinced that this movemei will redound to the greatest good this State, which is now in the vei *best shape to receive the benefits tTh will accrue to it from the holding the National Corn exposition herei 1913. Those who realize the agricu tural and industrial possibilities < South Carolina will need no urgingi this matter, and it is mainly to thos who have not given it thought that wish to present the proposition, the they, too, may become materially ii terested in an undertaking which wi not only be the best advertisemet possible to the entire State, but wi put it at least two years ahead of e' ery other Southern State in agricu turai development. "Thanking you in advance for a early reply, and eagerly hoping the I may have the privilege of meetin your organization for the purpo above mentioned, T am." It Will Be So. It is Senator Tillman's ambition die In harness, and we believe that lar2re majority of the people of i State are more than willing that th 1-u~dable ambition of the senator shd be gratified, says the Orarz ~wrg Ti:ne~. RESIGNS FROM11 NEWS AND COURIER UNDER PRESSURE States That He Was Asked to Resign From Staff of Gov. Blease-Let L ter From Mr. Lathan. Charleston, July 24.-Leon M. Green, na Columbia correspondent for the News and Courier, has refused to accede to the demands of his newspaper that he resign an appointment recently receiv ed upon the staff of Gov. Blease and ill says he will resign as correspondent immediately. His resign'ation will be s- handed to the head of the News and o- Courier's Columbia bureau, August a Kohn, upon the latter's return this te- week from a Canadian tour. )ld "I resign under pressure," said Mr. ns Green. "I can not comply with the to demand made on me. When I was appointed on the governor's staff, I ed accepted because of the honor, and I he know that the position was given in rs the right spirit. For the paper I rep resented to seek to tell me that I rn should resign either from the paper or 13 from. the governor's staff was, in my of opinion, an encroachment upon my h- personal rights. "I felt that I could still reman on 00 the governor's staff, as I have always h- sought to give unbiased reports of he official acts of the chief executive of ill the State. "The position taken by the paper ap pears to me, and I have no doubt will so appear to many others in the ge State, untenable, for the particular reason that the position occupied here st for the paper was that solely of a news correspondent. I had nothing whatever to do with the editorial pol icy of the paper. What I have been sending to the papers I represent was . the news of the day here-nothing more." w Mr. Green joined the staff of the at State in the fall of 1907, shortly after id his graduation from the University of id South Carolina. Since tht spring of 1909 he has been with the Columbia it bureau of the News and Courier. is in Mr. Green Gives Out Letter. ig Mr. Green last night gave out the e letter below which he stated had been )0 written him by Robert Lathan, the of editor of the News and Courier. Mr. - Lathan said last night that he hadI of nothing to say concerning the matter. )0 Mr. Lathan's letter to Mr. Green is as r- Ifollows: hi, "Mr. Leon M. Green, Columbia, S. C. "Dear Mr. Green: I have just re-d re ceived your letter of July 20 an$ re gret very much to learn of your de itermination to remain on the staff of Sthe governor rather than on that of s, the News and Courier, "AS I.jwrote Mr. Kohn, I do not re ogard it as proper for a newspaper acorrespondent to hold two -such posi-4 ttions at the same time; my under -standing of the matter being that the acceptance of an appointment as one t- of a governor's aides entails upon the person accepting It a responsibility of adoing all that he can to uphold what-' ever the governor may do. "I think it should be a rule of the paper that no one of its staff should y occupy any position which might ex ud pose him to thre criticism that his Im t partiality might be affected whethe? tsuch criticism be well founded or not. e"It is the desire of the News and 0Courier to do every public official jus ie1 tice fairly and impartially, and in or r- der to do so I think the above men otioned ru:le a good one. ,J -"It is true that Mr. Kohxn was at .n one time an aide to a governor but ~that was before I became editor of the -paper. :h "I appreciate your offer to look af- ] y ter matter connected with the bureau t, until Mr. Kohn returns, but perhaps' eit would be better to continue the .d present arrangement until that time, allowing Mr. Horton to cover what- 1 it ever may happen, as he has been do- C ;o ing since you have been away from Co 7Y lumbia. t"Let me repeat to you personally what I have already said to Mr. Kohn, nas head of the bureau, that the News 7and Courier appreciates the general excellence of the service you have giv-E nen it during the period of your con-' enection with the paper, and that I am genuinely sorry that you have 1t chosen to take a stand in this matter,' a most important one'as I see it, to 1which this paper can not give its in it dorsement. 11i "Yours truly, ~ a "Robert Lathan."
