The conluniSSiOn1 appointed by His Excellency the governor met in Charleston last week, to per. form their duties under the act appropriating 850).00 for thc State exhibit at the exposition, and when the body was organ ized. it was found that nothing more could be (done until th commission was put in possessior of the plans and specifications for the State's building. It is the purpose of the commissior to do the contracting, and nol leave this important part of th* work to the exl3osition company. The members of the comlmisslor feel that the 5.,000 appropria tion is a trust fund to be expend ed for the benefit of the peoplk and therefore they will endeavo2 to get as much for the money a: they possibly can. Under the act Charleston musi have raised .Q0,000 in subscrip tions, and before one dollar of the State's 5o,(00 is expended 810O,O0 in cash of Charleston's contribution must be in hand Zt will therefore be seen that before the commission will give out the contract for a State building which will cost about tX'2,00( Charleston's money will have + be in a more come-atable positior than on paper. They must show the commission the "real thing.' Capt. Thomas Wilson was ap pointed to confer with the ar chitect about the plans specifica tions and estimates for the StatE building, and the people can feel assured of having a representa tive who will see to it that the building for the exhibition of South Carolina's resources will be substantial as well as attrac tive and obtained at the lowest possible cost. Captain Wtlson's long experience in large con tracts, and being a mechanic himself, makes him especially fitted to have the looking after this branch of the work, and the other members will make every effort to give the people's appro priation full protection; every dollar expended will be account ed fol, and not one dollar will be paid out until all the other prom ises have been fulfilled. The exposition is an assur~ed fact, and we cannot urge toc strongly the necessity for im mediate action in every county in the State. There should be a rivalry for the best possibly show, and we know of no better way to get at it,than having pub lic meetings in every township. The commissioners appointed by the exposition company should take this matter up at once as time is an important factor to wards getting up an exhibit for an exposition which is to run for six months. We hope there are~ no commissioners so indifferent that they will let this matter lag, if there be such, it would be far better for them to r-esign, that others who will take an active interest may be appointed. To make the exposition a cre dit to South Car-olina, and to bring about good results. the people must awake and go into it with a determination to derive a benefit from the 850,000 ap propriated. To do this they must prepare now to get material to put on exhibition and show by their acts that they are working to make it a grand success. The 56th Congress has ad journed and it will go down in history as the billion andI a half Congiress. The national appropriation for the Charleston exposition failed of passage, and unless there is an extra session we cannot hope for any aid fr-om Congress. This is to be regretted, but if we un der-stand the temper of Charle.-; ton, this failure will make them p~ut on their titing~ clothes and show to the world that her ex position will be a success in spite of Congress or any- other ob struiction We believe the unfiair disc-rimi nation towards Charlieston will win the symlpathy of the Union. and result in a more determinedl effort to make t he exp osition a We think when another ap propriation is asked for from the National government, the News Co'urier will take into considera lion that South Carolina has other Representatives in Con grss besides Senator Tillman aId Congressman Latimier. Pos sibly it would be well to treat all e of our representatives with a a like meg of praise. and not lavish 11 011 faivolits. ..\ J. ~t. tail) that he' is the ..t , ;,. t": n I .1.

The News and Courier m1?v learn from experience that when she is tapping at the door of the na ion's treasury begging or a (tnLtion, it does not paly to be iauing ugly faces, nor call Uncle San "treasury looter, ship sub sidy thief" and other naughty names. Possibly when an extra session is called, if the "old lady" can employ her time knitting the holes in her stockings, there may be some chance for South Caro lina's whole delegation in Con gress getting Uncle Sam to throw a few pennies this way on a promise to be good.

The North American, a news paper published in Philadelphia, and owned by John Wannamaker the merchant prince, and leader in Sunday school work, has been devoting columns of space lying on, and slandering the people of South Carolina. This paper bases its vile misrepresentations upon Judge Benet's charge to the crt and jury at the Anderson court, and because it is made to appe~ar that there are a few heart less p~eole who have falsely imt prlisonied labor-ers under the guise of a labor conitract, this papetr would make tile world be lieve that South Carolina has inaugu rated a system of slav ery lie consequence is that aill kinds of demonstrations are being made, and the people of this State are being denounced in the severest terms. Great c-artoons hav-e appeared in the North American to inflame the mind of the North, and not withstanding the fact that the lawlessness complained of is con tined to a few persons in one county, and the law authorities are after them, this saintly sheet continues to arraign the p~eople of the State. The accounts pub lished are grossly exaggerated, and this people slandered to help swell the already laden coffers of tile saintly Wannamaker, by panderinig to the appetites of the sensational, to sell papers. Certain newspapers are clam oring for the veto of the repeal of the act which forbids officers accepting free passes, and nearly every day the Columbia State is reproducing from the weeklies editorials urging the gov-ernor to put his disapproval upon this measure. Just what Governor McSweeney will do. we have not the sligh test idea, other than the belief that he will not be guided for- or against tile bill by the newspapers. If in his judgment he thinks the act should be re pealed he will affix his signature to the bill, if on the other hand he thinks the law a good one it will remain, by vetoing the bill passed by the General Assembly repealing it. Whether- the governor vetoes the bill or not makes no0 differ enee to us, but we voted for it, because we have never approved of the spirit which promnpted its intr oduc tion and enactment. The measur-e was conceived in hatred and madtce a law in spite and its remaining on the statute books. is no good. All this rot about members gOiIoin oe frequently i they had free pase is the siliest kind of nonsense. There are numblers of members of the Generail Assemnblr~ who ride onl psses, and we venture to asset that thtey are in .t heir- seats as promptly ais those who have none. Take thle r-oll call of b)oth houses an y~ou wil tind tha~t members wvho have ptasses, either as local attorneys, or for adverd tising schedules, are seldoml ab sent, therefore the intimation that with passes in their pocket1 they would absent thainsoles frequently, is all to unmy rota nd emaiates from men who) cani see forsooth,are susceptible to cheap bribery. A man who is constant ly suspecting others needs watch- fe ing. and no one knows this bet ter than at lman who has come in se contact with the world like the g overn(Or. do We do not care whether Gov- s ernor McSweeney approves or w vetoes the bill, we know all ti of this advice that is being vol- cl unteered by the Columbia State and other papers is gratuitiou, to and we doubt very much if it is 2 appreciated, certainly not to the of extent of aftecting the governor' decision one way or another. dil A Good Cough Medicin for Children. ae de -I v 'o *'-t ney ei ronmnr din;: Chami- L< --i Cou-h Ietmedv.

Owing to ignor- T ance of the time such application should at he sent in. it arrived 100 late and we cu lost the opportunity. s ince then I have not been in a position to actively en gage in pressing the matter as I have no children attending the common-Be schools. but I should be glad to assist $ by ay aid a schenie in that direction at the present time or in the future, and I an sure most of my relatives would unite in the movement. We do not, however, represent the entire comiu- Ti nity, and from those having children in th attendance on the common schools, fos such an idea should emanate. But this wl was a general measure under consider- th ation and not a local one, and if space fr< permitted I could mnention many ways or an increase of money could be used to pa advantage in the various branches con- Ti nected with this institution, v hich to it. my mind is only as yet in it-. infancy, is and must of necessity bcotme in the end equal to that in any other State of - the Union. Not only does the educa tional department need caring for, but the school houses, most of them in the rural districts, require remodeling or repairing or renewing to make them more commodious and attractive. Any expenditures made by the Stata for this or any other purpose must fall heavier on the greater taxpayer rather than on the lesser, and in the school expendi tures is the only manner that I can see, where the poor man gets any benefit from taxation of the rich. I have never vet advocated any measure that would 'not cause the wealthier class to bear the burden, and hope some day to see a strict enforcement of the income tax which at present is so inetiective. Notwithstanding the organized ef forts of the employers of the cotton 'mills. representing the wealth of that initial industry, I supported the "Child Labor Bill,'' bothi in committee and in the House, because I thought all chil dren should receiva instruction, even at the cost of injury to existing institu tions, or the possible loss to capital in vested. I never thought your exp~ression as to the motives of memnber-s supporting - the appropriations was meant to apply to mue. as I understood it was used col lectively, but that some others might B take a ditierent view was the only rea-3 son which induced me to write the let ter I did. I thoroughly agree that a difference of opinion should be indulged in without the least cause for friction, and my letter was not intended to criti- 01 cise, but merely to make my motives so plain. Whether I was right or wvrong, was not what I tried to establish, which can only be decided by time and devel opments in the future. Ina conclusion let me add, that when I said this was not a propitious year for - making additional appropriations IF went on to state that I was induced to take advantage of a libei'al body of men, rather than risk the temper of some futur-e Legislature, which might ' not only curtail what is desired, but what is necessary. It sometimes occur-s that members act from information which varies in accuracy. For instance,V in your case it wias represented to you i that the tax levy would be raised two mrills if all approp~riated had been given, t while in mine, one of the most pronmi nent members of the Ways and Means Committee who I consulted, said thatO from their calculation it would not re quire more than a one mill levy. I am not able to say who was correct. th H. B. RICHARDSON Fult on, S. C.. March 3, 1901. Remarkable Cures of Rhenmatism. {From the Vindicator. Rutherfordton. N.
