He erected at his ^TWrr trxprnsc . monument to dead Confederate sol diers in Mount Hope cemetery, New York city, founded a physical labora tory at the University of Virginia and gave $100,000 for a Confederate battle abbey to t>c located at Richmond, Ya. Some years ago Mr. Rouss became blind, lie offered $1,000,000 to any one who could restore his sight, but the reward was never Successfully claimed. Among the first things Mr. Rouss did when he began business in New York was to luing up in his store a picture of Jefferson Davis, father of the Confederacy. This was. however, only one exhibition of his hive for the Confederacy. The large sums which lie contributed to various Confederate causes was another evidence.

The South Corolina’s presence at such a function, when his Senate brawl Is so fresh in everybody’s mind, would, of course, be most unpleaunt for all present, and his refusar to withdraw an acceptance left theTresi- dent no other course to pursue. Meantime, It is ty be noted, the other party to Saturday’s fracas de mands an investigation of the truth of Tillman s charges, 'and a resolution has been introduced to this effect. But what were the charges'? Tillman had find said that improper influences were used to gain votes fdr the Philip pine annexation treaty when It was before the Senate. ’’Name the man,’’ shouted Spooner, of Wisconsin, add- ing that “a map who will impeach a brother s-nator without naming him is a coward." And thus baited on by the desiring Wisconsin Senator Till man declared lhat be knew that “the !<ai p.uage of a State has been parcell ed out to a Seuhlor for his vote."

March, 2U are: First—It Is a South Carolina Ex position In which the state and the people are vitally Interested, as It presents to the people of the coun try at large for the tlrsj, time'the great possibilities of South Carolina, both as a manufacturing and agricul tural state. . Second—The state has a building at the Exposition, In which are ex hibited the industries and resources of South Carolina. Many of the peo ple do not realize the magnitude of the possibilities within our borders. Go then and see them you will projit by the trjp in many ways. Third—In the Cotton Palace, Com merce, Minerals and Forestry, Ma chinery and Electricity and West In dian Buildings will be seen many ex hibits that will justify the trip. Fourth—To those who have never seen the Exposition Exhibits of the United States government, seeing them alone is worth more than the cost of Hie trip. Fifth—The exhibits in the Worn- j ah’s Building will be of interest to| every woman in South Carolina. The ■ display is far superior to the woman's j work at any other expo&it4on. j Sixtti When you have seen all tliei exhibits of interest, the Midway of fers its attractions, where you can spend as much time in pleasure as 1 you desire. Scvfto'th—The pi-opte of Charleston desire you to see the Exposition to see from your own otMervation that they 1 prop vied the Exposition in your in terest as well as theirs and that we i; Grow Excelsior.

This magnificent exhibit of Cotton was rownand contributed from the originator farm. There we see xcelsior Cotton grown in all its glory; as fine specimens as ’tis possible to grow. To see it is but to admire this beautiful pxhibit, we defy competition; seeing is believing Excelsior Cotton Ex hibit shows the stalks with their fruit in its natural position, just as they grow in the field, without any artificial coloring.^Jlhia exhibit cannot but fail to attract the admiration of Cotton grow ers. ’Tis a fine object lesson, which we are proud to present to the public. Something new—large bolls, small seed, clusters well around stalk, .with superior lint and staple. This cotton stood first at Arkansas Experimental Station and also first at Charleston Exposition.
