BREAKS THE RECORD. The Charleston Exposition the Best for the Money Ever Known. GREAT ECONOMY IN BUILDING. Would 11 ft to Cost Five TIiiioh ?n Much t<> Duplicate In n Northern Clt jr. The Klalt Hawk Arrives. "This exposition would have cost Buffalo or any other nothern city live million dollars," remarked a director ui nil' exposition recently to tho Charleston correspondent of Tho State. "It does in fact represent an expenditure of $800,000, but every dollar is represented by full value. In Ihiffulo the men who put on the "stall work" were paid from $0 to $14 a day. Here we secured laborers from cents to $6 per day. The saving in the price of labor represented a large amount. "Furthermore, where they paid as high as $40 for lumber, we obtained the same quantity of that material for $11. We economized in every possible way and were able to erect buildings which cost us $800,000, but are as handsome and as well finished as could have been done for $f>,000,000 in any northern city." The seven men who are directors of this exposition may well feel proud <>f the artistic success which they have wrought. These gentlemen are Capt. F. W. Wagoner, president; Samuel Lnpham, .Itio. F. Fickcn, J. L. David, C. S. Gadsden, W. II. Welch, and ,1. C. Hemphill. Capt. Wagoner has contributed liberally of the private fortune, and he could afford It. Other directors have taken equally as much Interest In the exposition, and all have the assurance that from an artistic standpoint the great fair is a success. The buildings are beautiful, the Spanish-American style of architecture prevailing. The sunken garden Is of artificial construction and cost 18,000. It seems almost a sacrilege to tear down these splendid buildings, and yet they cannot long survive the attacks of the elements, as tlie exterior is of "staff work," a composition of sand and line with other ingredients. A director of the exposition said today that Col. Dodge of the United States geodetic survey has discovered a formula hv tho n?i> nf wnn.i. buildings made of this staff work can be kept In a line state of preservation. The buildings would also need permanent roofs. The exposition company may not feel justified in making these expenditures, but certain it is that if these buildings should be preserved and these grounds cared for, Charleston would in two or three years have the most beautiful gardens in the south. When It is said that the expenditures for grounds and buildings approximated $800,000, this does not take into consideration the cost of the State buildings, which would run the grand total up to over $000,000. These are owned by the States or cities which built them. Whatever may be the intrinsic value of these grounds and buildings in the future, they arc certainly worth seeing now. Tills may be the last exposition held in the south for a number of years, and South Carolinians now have a rare opportunity to visit a great show. There is no charge to sec any of the exhibits. The price of admission to the grounds lets the visitor into every building?even the race tmek?except on the Midway, where each attraction has its own charges. The United States steamer Fish Hawk arrived here today and is lying off tho wharf at the exposition grounds. The Fish Hawk and the Albatross are the two government boats engaged in making scientilic researches. The former plies from Eastnort. Maine. t/> fJalvoct/in ir?n Just recently been engaged ofT Key West where the weather was so Shad that the llshermen could do nothing. The Fish Hawk has put in here for two weeks and the sailors are today getting the ship ready for visitors who will be given a hearty welcome by Capt. J. A. Smith, who is in command. The steamer is supplied with all kinds of paraphernalia for propagating flsh, and the captain states _ that the department is engaged now in an endeavor to cultivate sponges The efforts give promise of success. The officers of the boat will explain to visitors the method of dredg- j Ing the bottom of the sea. These dredges bring up all kinds of creatures over which the scientists become much excited at times. The Fish Tlawk brought in a number of fish for the a<iuariaums in the fisheries building, which is an interesting place for visitors. One of the most interesting articles in that building is a rod which cost $2,000. The butt is a topaz, half an inch in diameter, and the joints are of gold. To "land-lubbers" a visit to the Fish Hawk and to the flheries building will be quite a pleasure. Tolil 1?y W. J. llryan. William J. Bryan found time to tell a story or two while he was at luncheon in the house restaurant at the capitol today, says the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American. "A while ago," he said, "I went with a party of friends to visit the Nebraska State asylum for the Insane, 1 became separated from my party and wandered through some of the roomsalone. An inmate approached me, and seeking to Ikj friendly, said: 'What are you in here for?' 'Because I believe in the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,' I replied, thinking to be faoctlous. 'Huh,' said the inmate, moving otY h< disgust, 'You ain't crazy, you're lust a plain, dum fool.'" lurgoon'i Knife Not Needed. Surgery is no long necessary to cure piles.

In Uils discourse Dr.Tillmageadvocates the idea that the Christian religion is as good for this world as the next and will help us to do anything that ought to be done sit all; I Timothy iv, 8, "Godliness is protltahlc unto sill tilings, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." There is a gloomy and psissive wsiy of waiting for events to come upon us, and there Is a heroic way of going out to meet them, strong in God and fcsirIng nothing. When the body of Cat iline was found on the battlefield, it was found fsir in advance of all his troops and among the enemy, and the best way is not for us to lie down and let the events of life trample over us. but to go forth in a Christian spirit determined to conouer. Von are ex peeling prosperity, and I am determined, so far as I have anything to do with it, that you shall not he disappointed, and, therefore, 1 propose,as find may help me, to project upon your at tent ion a new element of success. You have in the business firm frugality, patience, industry, perseverance, economy ?a very strong business firm hut there needs to he one member added, mightier than them all, and not a silent partner either, the one introduced by my text, "(lodliness, which is profitablo unto all tilings, having the promise of the life that now Is as well as of that which Is to come." I suppose you arc all willing to admit that godliness is important in its eternal relat ions, but perhaps some of you say, "All 1 want is an opportunity to say a prayer before I die. and all will he well." There arc a great many 1 people who suppose that if they can finally get safely out of this world into a better world they will have exhaust- ' ed the entire advantage of our holy religion. They talk as though religion were a mere nod of recognition which we are to give to the Lord .Jesus on ' our way up to a heavenly mansion: as though it were an admission ticket, of no use except to give in at the door of heaven. And there are thousands of people who have great admiration for a religion of the shroud and a religion of the hearse and a religion of the cemetery who have no apprccia- 1 t ion of a religion for the bank, for the farm, for the factory, for the warehouse, for the Jeweler's shop, for the otllce. Now, while 1 would not throw any slur on a postmortem religion, I want today to eulogize an antcmortcin religion. A religion that will lie of no use to you while you live will he of no ' use to you when you die. "Godliness Is '< p roll table unto all things, having pro- i mise of the Ufe that now is as well as of that which is to come." And I have always noticed that when grace ( is very low in a man's heart he talks a < great deal in prayer meetings alxnit deaths and alxmt eoftlns and niwmt churchyards. I have noticed that the healthy Christian, the man who Is < living near to God and Is on the st raight road to heaven, Is full of jubi- ! lant satisfaction and talks about the duties of this life, understanding well 1 that if God helps him to live right lie 1 will help him to die right. j Now, in the tirst place, 1 remark that ' godliness is good for a man's physical 1 health. 1 do not mean to say that it ! will restore a broken down constitu- ' tion or drive rheumatism from the ' limbs or neuralgia from the temples or 1 pleurisy from the side, but I do mean ' to say that it gives one such habits I and puts one in such condition as are 1 most favorable for physical health, i That I believe, and that I avow. I Everybody knows that buoyancy of ' spirit is good physical advantange. < Gloom, unrest, dejection, is at war with 1 every pulsation of the heart and with i every respiration of the lungs. They 1 lower the vitality and slacken the cir- ' culation, while exhilaration of spirit ! pours the very halm of heaven through all the currents of life. The sense of ' insecurity which sometimes hovers ' over an unregenerate man or pounces < upon him with the blast of ten thous- ' i and trumpets of terror is most depict- ( ing and most exhausting, while the i feeling that all things are working together for our good now and for < our everlasting welfare is conducive to 1 physical health. 1 You will observe that godliness in- i duces industry, which is the found.v > tion of good health. There is no law c of hygiene that will keep a lazy man \ well. Pleurisy will stab him, eryslpe- ( las will burn him, laundice will dis- | color him, gout will cripple him, and i the intelligent physician will not pre- i scribe antiseptic or febrifuge or ano- < dyne, but saws and hammers and yard- ( sticks and crowbars and pickaxes. I There is no such tiling as good physi- t cal condition without positive work of i some kind, although you should sleep i on down of swan or ride in carriage of ( softest upholstery or have on your ta- I hie all the luxuries that were poured j from the wine vats of Ispahan and i Shiraz. Our religion says: "Away 1 to the hank, away to the Held, away < to the shop, away to the factory! Do < something that will enlist all thecner- i gies of your body, mind and soul!" i 'Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the the Lord," while upon the hare hack of the idler and the drone comes down the sharp lash of the apostle as he says, "'If any man < will not work, neither shall lie cat." Oh, how Important in this day, when so much is said about anatomy and physiology and therapeutics and some new style of medicine Is ever and anon springing upon the world, that you should understand that the highest school of medicine is the school of Christ, which declares that ' godliness is profitable unto all tilings, having the promise of the life that now is as well as of that which is to come." So if you start out two men in the world with equal physical health, and then one of them shall get the religion of Christ in Ids heart and the other shall not get It, the one who becomes a son of the Lord Almighty will live the longer. "With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Again 1 remark that godliness is good for the entellect. I know some have supposed that Just as soon as a ' man enters Into the Christian life his 1 __ will give new brilliancy to the Intellect new strength to the Imagination, new force to the will and wider swing to all the intellectual faculties. Christianity Is the great central tire at which yhilosphy has lighted its brightest torch. The religion of < *1?list Is the fountain out of which learning lias dipped its clearest draft. The Helicon poured forth no such inspiring waters as those which tlow from under the throne of God clear as crystal. Religion has given new energy to poesy, weeping in Dr. Young's "Night Thoughts," teaching in Cowper's "Task," (laming in Charles Wesley's hymns and rushing with arehangcllc splendor through Milton's "Paradise Lost." The religion of Christ has hung in studio and in gallery of art o iwl it* V'** I 1 -* ?1-4 >..u i (il ium me ih'm jneiores Titian's "Assumption," Raphael's "Transliffuration," Ruixms's "Descent Kroni tlie Cross," Claude's "limning Rush"and Angcle's "LastJudgment." Iteli^ion has made the best music of the world?Ilaydn'a "Creation," Handel's "Messiah," Mo/art's "Requiem." Is it possible that a religion which builds such indestructible monuments and which lifts its ensigh on the highest promontories of worldly power can have any elTcct upon a man's intellect but olevat ion? Now, I commend godliness as tlie best mental discipline, better than Indies Ictt res to purify the taste, bettor t han mat hematics to harness the mind to all int ricacy and elaboration, better than logic to marshal the intellectual forces for onset and victory. It will g<> with Hugh Miller and show him the footprints of the Creator in tlie red sandstone, it will go with the botanist and show him celestial glories encamped under t he curtain of a water lily. Ii will go with the astronomer on tin; groat heights were God shepcr<ls the. great llook of worlds that wander on the hills of heaven answering his voice us lie calls them all by their names. A^ain 1 remark that religion Is ttood for wordly business. 1 know the general tlicory is the more business the less relittion, tlic more rclittion tlie less business. Not so, thought l)r. Hans in 11is "biography of a Christian Merchant" when lie says: Ho if row in ttrace the last six years of his life, more than at any time in his lite. During those six years lie. had more business crowding him than at any other time." In oilier words,'the more worldly business a man lias ttie more opportunity to serve (Jod. Does religion exhilarate ;>r retard worldly business? is the practical question for you to discuss. Does It hang, like a mortgage, over the farm? Is it a had debt on the ledger? Is it a lien against tlie estate? Does It crowd the door through which customers come for broadcloths and silks? Now, religion will hinder your business if it liea bad business or if it be a good business wrongly conducted. If you toll lies behind the counter, if you use false weights and measures, if you put sand In sugar and licet Jo ice in vinegar and lard In butter and sell for one thing that which is another thing, then religion will interfere with that business, but a lawfully conducted, will find the religion of the Lord Jesus Chrisa its mightiest auxiliary. Religion will give ;m equipoise of spirit. It will keep you from ebullitions of temper, and you know a great many line businesses have been blown to atowms by bad temper, it will keep you freni worrimcnt about frequent loss; it will keep you industrious and prompt; It will keep you back from squandering and from dissipation; it will give you a kindness of spirit which will be easily distinguished from that mere store courtesy which shakes hands violently with you, asking about health of your family, when t here is no anxiety to know whether your child Is well or sick, but the anxiety is to know how many dozen cambric pocket handkerchiefs you will take and pay cash down. It will prepare you for the practical duties of everyday life, I do not mean to say that religion will make us financially rich, but 1 do say that it will give us, it will assure us of l comfortable sustenance at the start, v comfort able subsistence all the way through, and it will help us to direct the bank, to manage tlie tratllc, to conduct all our business matters and to make the most insignitlcant affair if our life a matter of vast smportancc, glorified by Christian principle. In New York city there was amcr hant hard in his dealings with his fellows, who had written over his ranking house or his counting house (Him, "No compromise." Then when tome merchant got in a crisis and went lown?no fault of his, but a conjuneion of evil clreiimstimeAK .-mri nil tii? >tlier merchants were willing to compromise?they would take 75 cents on die dollar or 50 cents or 20 cents -comng to this man last of all, lie said: No compromise. I'll take 100 cents on the lollar, and 1 can afford to wait." Well, die wheel turned, and after awhile that man was In a crisis of business, ind he sent out his agent to comproriise, and the agent said to the nier hants, ''Will you take 50 cents on die dollar?" "No." "Will you take mything?', "We'll take 100 cents on die dollar. No compromise." And die man who wrote that inscription iver his counting house door died in iestitution. Oh, we want more of die kindness of the gospel and the spirit of love in our business enterprises! How many young men have found in the religion of Jesus Christ a practical help? llow many there are today who could test ify out of their own experience that godliness is prolit able for the life, that now is! There were times in their business career when they went here for help and mere lor help and yonder for help and got no help until they knelt l>efore the Lord crying for his deliverance, and the Lord rescued them. In a bank not far from New York? a village hank an olllcer could not balance his accounts. He had worked at them day after day, night after night, and he was sick nigh unto death as a result. He knew he had not taken one farthing from that bank, but somehow, for some reason, inscrutable then, the accounts would not balance. The time rolled on and the morning of the day when the books should pass under the Inspection of the other ofllccrs arrived, and he felt himself In awful peril, conscious of his own Integrity, but unable to prove that Integrity. That morning he went to the bank early, and he knelt down before 1 have done right, 1 have preserved my Integrity, but here I am about to be overthrown unless thou shouldst come to my rescue. Lord, deliver me." And for one hour lie continued the 1 prayer liefore God, and then he arose and went to an old blotter t hat he had forgotten all about, lie opened it, and there lay a sheet of figures which he only needed to add to another line of figures?some line of figures lie had forgotten and knew not where lie had laid them and t lie accounts were balanced, and the Lord delivered him. You are an Infidel if you do not believe it. The Lord de- j livcred him. God answered his pray-, er, as lie will answer your praver, oil, man of business, in every crisis when you come to hi in. Now, if this lie so, then 1 am persuaded, as you are, of the fact that the vast majority of Christians do not fully test tlie value for their religion. They are like a farmer In California with 15,000 acres of good wheat land and cult uring only a quarter of an acre. Why do you not go forth and make the religion of Jesus Christ a practical affair every day of your business life and all this year, beginning now, and tomorrow morning putting into practical effect this holy religion and demonstration that godliness Is profitable here as well as hereafter? How can you get along without this religion? Is your physical health so good you do not want, thisdi vine tonic? Is your mind so clear, so vast, so comprehensive, that you do not want this divine Inspiration? Is your worldly I business so thoroughly established that you have no use for that religion which has l>een the help and deliverance of tens of thousands of men in crises of worldly trouble? And if what I have said is true then you see what a fatal blunder it is when a man adjourns to life's expiration the uses of religion. A man who postpones reli! gioii to sixty years of age gets religion I fifty years too late. He may get into the kingdom of <?od by tlnal repentance, but what can compensate him for a w hole lifetime unalleviated and uncomfortcd? You want religion today in the training of that child. You will want religion tomorrow in dealing with that customer. You wanted religion yesterday to curb your temper. Is your arm strong enough to heat your way through the Hoods? I Can you, without being incased In the the mail of Cod's eternal help, go forth amid the assault of all hell's sharpshooters? Can you walk alone across these crumbling graves and amid these gaping earthquakes? Canyon, waterlogged and mast shivered, outlive the gale? Oh, how many there have been who, postponing the religion of Jesus Christ, havo plunged inj to mistakes they never could correct, | although they lived sixty years after, and iikc RerpanLa crushed under cart wheels dragging their maulded bodies under the rocks to die. So these men have fallen under the wheel of awful calamity, while a vast multitude of others have taken the religion of Jesus Christ Into everyday lift.- and, I'rst, in practical business, and, second, on the throne of heavenly triumph, have Illustrated, while angels looke on and a universe approved, the glorious truth that "godliness is profitable unto ail things, having the promise of the life which now is as well as of that which is to come." DEMOCRATS FOR BOERS. Strong IteHolutionH Favoring Them Fussed by Congressional Obiiciih. The Democratic members of the house at a caucus held Thursday night unanimously adopted resolutions declaring congress should express the sympathy of the American nennle r the struggling Boer republics and pledging themselves to use their utmost endeavors to "force" the committees to report resolutions ex pros- , si vc of such sympathy in order that ; congress might have an opportunity to i act. The Crumpackcr resolution to investigate the franchise question was not considered at the caucus. Rep- ' resentatlve Hay of Virginia presided at the caucus and Representative Robertson acted as socretary. The attendance was la.ge. There was no division of sentiment as to the course to he taken, the question presented being simply one of choice be- ] tween two resolutions, one offered by J Mr. llandcll of Texas and the other , by Mr. Sulzer of New York. The Sub j zer resolution looking to the passage j of a resolution requesting the presi- < dent to urge upon Great Britain the 1 wisdom of stopping the South African war was voted down 32-35, and ' the Randell resolution unanimously , adopted as follows: Kosoived by the Democratic inem- > lx^rs of the house of representatives of the United States of America, in can- ' ens assembled, that the congress of the United States should, by resolution, express the sympathy of the people of the United States for the people of the South African republic and the Orange Free State in their ( heroic struggle to maintain their liber- < ty and independence. i "Resolved, That the congress should i in the spirit of amity and friendship, appeal to the British government, in 1 the interest of humanity, to accept overtures for peace, cease hostilities, , and endeavor to bring about a Just , and honorable settlement of existing , differences, to the end that peace may < be established. j "Resolved, That the United States ' should fairly and honorably maintain a position of strict neutrality in this contest between nations friendly to ( us, and see to it that neutrality laws are vigorously and Impartially enforced.

Clemson College Makes an Important Suggestion to the Farmers. To t he Editor: The following communication, issued by the Assistant Agriculturalist of Clemson Agricultural College, is of so much value to the farmers of this State on account of t he present hich nriee of all l<Vori nrr?in/?t^ for farm animals and stock, I hat I have determined to got you to publish this as an advertisement, for which our Company will bear the expense. Assume of the products made up in the ration as made by Mr.Conner may not be available to various planters 1 suggest that any planter write to Mr. Connor and state what food products arc available to him, both rough forage and concentrated food, and Mr. Conner will take pleasure in making up a rat ion to suit his needs, as he has done in t his instancc. Yours t rulv, C. FIT/SIMONS, (Jonoral Manager the Southern Cotton Oil Company. Columbia, S. C. To the Editor of The News and Courier: Farmcrr from various sections of t he St ate have been writing, asking about the advisability of feeding horses and mules on cotton seed meal and hulls, and also asking for a cheaper raton than corn. The following prices arc given in a letter from Scranton, S. C.: Corn, $40 nor ton; oats, $45 per ton; wheat bran, *25 per ton; cottonseed meal, $25 per ton; rice meal, $20 per ton. Of course, corn and oats are out of the question us a food for horses and mules at the above nrtws c/\mnfui?.? . _ r UV>1IVVIHIIK Cliuupui must tm! looked for. The analysis shows that rice meal has at)Oiit the same composition as L'orn meal, and we have found that it is just as good for feeding pigs. We have fed it to horses wit h good results. I think we are safe in saying that it may be used in place of corn, pound for pound. if no hay or fodder is used in the ration and hulls are resort ed to as roughness, some nitrogenous food, such as bran or cotton seed meal, must be used to supply protein. Hulls may be fed without any fear of injury to the animal. Should they refuse to eat the hulls a little corn meal or bran sprinkled over the surface will help to break them to it. A good ration may be made up as follows: Cents. ^ix pounds of rice meal, costing t?.t> Kour pounds of wheat bran, cost ing 5.0 Two pounds of cotton seed meal, costing 2.5 Ten pounds of cotton seed bulls, costing s 3.0 Total cost of rat ton per day 17.1 The above is for a horse or mule of 1,000 pounds live weight. It is evident that? ration made up :>f corn and fodder and containing the Mi me amount of digestible matter as the above ration would cost much more than t he above. The North Carolina Experiment Station has fed cotton seed meal and hulls to horses with good results, but the l?*nOrimonto nlrvtir* * ..... it.iv/iip, iniin nnu IlilVC IlOT. been extensive enough to say t hat cotton seed meal can be fed in unlimited qpiantities for any lengthof time without, injury to the animal. Numbers of farmers, however, have reported that they have fed cotton seed meal and hulls to mules and horses with good results. C. M.
