Loryea Dr1 in EXPOSITION MEETING. he ted General Moise Delivers a Magnificent Addres nd The initial meeting looking to get ion ting Clarendon interested in the Sout! vas Carolina and West-Indian Exposition ian which is to begin in the city of Charles ton next December and run until June uld was held in the court house last Satur ap. day and, although the notice was ver; short, there was a fairly good audience so far as numbers were concerned, bu gig- the attendance was not as good as the lay importance of the meeting deserved got The gentlemen drawn hither from dis so trances came principally through th< too efforts of Hon. E. R. Plowden, Jr., who it. in behalf of the Exposition Commission on ers for this county, addressed persona letters before the published notice hai time to. reach the general public. Ther or, last Saturday was the day fixed for 'the ne, Cotton Growers' convention, and some alt came on account of it. Hon. Jas. E B. Tindal was expected to deliver an ad ' dress to the Cotton Growers, but he failed to appear. ew When the people gathered in the ter court room Capt. D. J. Bradham rap ent ped for order and nominated Hon. H, 'on B. Richardson to preside over the xon meeting. Mr. Richardson was choser ,y? without opposition,. and in a few brie! re- remarks introduced as the orator fox the occasion Gen. E. W. Moise, who de his livered an address that was deserving on of an audience composed of every pub lic-spirited citizen in Clarendon county. It was indeed a magnificent word pic. ild ture of the scope of the Exposition, its by purposes and its possible results, and in Lce the choicest of English he eloquently >n. portrayed our present condition. He m- made it practically clear that it is to !ry our interests that we arouse the people ,- to grasp the opportunity held out by this Exposition for their material bet terment, and to urge them to go to th work at once on their farms, their an workshops, their forests and in their ae swamps to prepare the resources of ig. Clarendon county for exhibition. General Moise, in part, said: a "You are aware that the South Caro for lina Interstate and West-Indian Expo ng sition Company propose to open at re Charleston on December first of the is- present year an Exposition, whereat it you will have the opportunity of show n ing the resources of your county. l- "I have come here to endeavor to satisfy you that it will be to your inter est to avail yourselves of this opportu tet nity. Clarendon county needs devel din opment as much as any part of the State. "There is at present no cotton mill or factory in your county; you have no e- flour mill; your people devote their en ve ergies to raising cotton. They board in at the West; the larger part of the he bread both of corn and wheat which ' they consume is raised there and not at ne home; they even buy the major part of - the corn and hay *hich their animals he consume at this season of the year and ad on which their crops of cotton are e made. "Your pressing need is now for di er versity of employment for your people. il- If you had a factory or cotton mill your . young people of both sexes could earn their living and acquire skill by work ea ing in such mill; your old men could find some employment -here also. In the course of time they would acquire ,n, skill and their services would become V. more valuable. You also need more he capital. How shall you get it? The ed proposed Exposition presents you the -e- first chance you have had to fully ad ad vertise your advantages to the world. ,b What have you to offer? At piesent ,v- you do not know yourselves. There as may be wealth around you of which you in have no idea now. Just ,efore me now g. there is a flowing artesian well whose .water is as good as can be found any where. lt, "Your climate is salubrious and the at health of your county excellent. Your lands are productive and will yield rich rewards to intelligent husbandry. O- Along the border of the Santee river go vou have rich areas of land which can he be reclaimed and which, under culture, E- would produce crops equal to those i.g which are made in the valley of the us5 Nile. How are you to bring these ad ry vantages to the knowledge of the out u- side world? The propo~sed Exposition ne offers you the first chance you have had ato do so. Will you avail yourself of it ? 'm There is no time to be lost. - "It is said that fortune knocks once at the door of every man and- if it be anot opened to her she departs and-re eturns no more. She has come to your Sdoor now. Will you wclcome her and benefit by her coming? The whole ad country is prospering. There is abun he- dant capital seeking investment. Your i1 very lands offer inducements of which he you are yourselves unaware. Lands do > not go backward in value. At a cost of $100 per acre, with good cultivation, they would pay an interest of 4 per e cent. They can be bought now at from Lu- six to ten dollars per acre. They need le- advertisement. The Exposition will gh aiford-the best you could desire. a "The State has ordered that a build ay ing be erected for the purpose of giving by to each county a place in which to show vy to the world what it can produce and air the advantages it has to offer to the ras thrifty. Every county is expected to F. compete in this exhibition. That coun J. ty which shows that it can produce ay, everything necessary for the due main nd tenance of its people will stand a fair vy chance to win the prize and induce the in- hbme seeker to come and cast his fort unes with you. That farmer who pro duces everything which his plantation on consumes and makes cotton only as a he surplus crop is the more independent. mIs: If a farmer makes five bales of cotton at 10 cents per pound he makes more money than if he makes ten bales ol ecotton and sells them at five cents per mpound. He saves the work of planting, hthe cultivation and the gathering oi m five acres. If the land is ready for the m- seed and he plants only half of it in cot re, ton and lets the-other half make peam or hay he will be better off in the fal] rthan if he planted it all in cotton. You 'now spend hafthe year in cutting up sthe grass out of your fields and the cother half in buying Western raised ,c hay to feed your farm stock with. it is en time to stop this. en"The Exposition will bring the farm ely ers together. It will show what is be id- ing done in all the counties and the re asult must be beneficial to all. You need h.e to cultivate your minds as well as your Lt- lands. Your inventive talents must be ice fostered and encouraged. Your me ed chanical skill must find a field for ex tr ploitation. Who can tell what talents ,to may exist amongst your ladies and chil .he dren? Some can paint, some embroider, ss some possess the plastic art and some ,nd are ingenious, and patient. To all these te~r the Exposition opens wide its doors and *ui- invites them all to exhibit the work o1 ay. their heads and their hands. k,"In your county there are water pow ks, ers.

You may realize that you have skpt over your chance and that you have s lost it. Give all the aid and all the as sistance in your power to this enter prise, it is for the true benefit of your citizens and you owe it to yourselves to help it along. "The government exhibit will be in place, but the company will have to supply a building in which to house it. This will be still another cat, on the people of the State to come to th.e aid of the company. "Expositions are no new thing. Geor gia has had two at Atlanta and she pro poses to have a third next year. If the two which she has had had not proven beneficial, she would not have a third. Tennessee has held hers and has reaped the benefit. Louisiana has held hers and the results have vastly increased the value of the lands. "Shall South Carolina not try to get her share of the public prosperity? Shall she alone not represent the age of progress and of enterprise? "zEsop tells the fable of the body and the limbs. The arms refuscd to work to feed the body, the legs said that they would carry it no more. They ceased to work and the body became weak and enervated, the blood lost its vitality and the whole was fast lapsing into decay. But wiser counsels prevailed at the prospect of impending death. The iimbs went back to their duty and health returned. So will it be with the State and the counties, if each shall do its part the whole will prosper. The health of the Exposition demands the active co-operation of the counties. Will you do your part? It is to be hoped that you will and that success will attend your efforts." Says He Was Tortured.

Yorkville, April 4.-Last evening, at 7 o'clock, a most beautiful wedding cer emony was performed at the First Pres byterian church in this place. It was the marriage of Dr. James Davidson McDowell, one of our popular young physicians, and Miss Mattie, a daugh ter of C. E. Spencer, Esq., and one of Yorkville's fairest and loveliest daugh ters. The church was elaborately dec orated by some of the members of the "Willing Workers" society, the deco rations being all white and green. The visiting relatives were, the Rev. and Mrs. James McDowell of Sumter, Mrs. Seabrook of Young's Island, Mrs. E. M. Richards of Statesville, N. C., Mrs. J. S. R. Thompson of Spartanburg, .and Mrs. L. M. Crowell of Bishopville. The attendants were. Prof. John Douglas of Davidson College. N. C., best man, with Miss Claude Moore, maid of honor; Rev. Davidson Douglas of North Caro lina, with Miss Anice O'Leary: Dr. Mack James of Cheraw with Miss Daisy Hart; C. W. F. -Spencer, Esq., of Rock Hill. with Miss Mary Crawford, and Dr. Robert M. Steele with Miss Sallie McDonald. The ushers were Messrs. Mason L. Carroll, W. P. Harrison, George W. Williams and Prof. Starr M. Mason. Miss Mary E. Schorb presided at the organ, playing Mendelsohnn's wedding march as the bridal partyv entered the church and rendering Lohengrin's wed ding march as they retired from the building. The bride and her attendants were handsomely gowned in white, carrying boquets of white carnations and lillies of the valley. The ceremony was performed by the Rev, James McDowell, father of the groom, assisted by the Rev. W. G. Nevile of this place. One most pleasingincident of the oc casion, was the presenc~e of two faithful colored women, who occupied promi nent seats of honor. One was the faith ful nurse of the groom, when he was a motherless infant. She seemed to be the happiest and proudest person in the house, to see "her boy" as she termed it, so happily married. The other was Etta McKinney, who has been a faith ful servant and nurse in the Spencer family for a good many years. Her happiness seemed supreme. Dr-. McDowell and his lovely bride left last night, by private conveyance, for Rock Hill, there to take the South ern train for Columbia and other points in the State, to visit relatives. The universal congratulations of this community go with this young couple, wishing them a long life of prosperity and happiness. S. A Fireman's Close Call.
