$ovales Carolinsa inter-State and
'West Indian Exposithon.
The dilligent efforts of those ii)
clitgo of the exposition to be held
in Charleston deserve succese. It
is an enterprise that embraces the
whole country and is designed to
advertise especially southern in.
dustries and advantages. It will
)resent an opportunity by which
the Piedmont section may show
the peculiar conditions that obtain
obtain here and should not be
passed over without a determined,
united action. A memorial ad
drossed to the legislature asks an
appropriation of $50,000 for the
oxpress purpose of properly adver
tising tho stato's resourcos. It
seoms that this is a reasonable pro.
position, and should receive the
sanctio) of that body.
Statistics aro prosented from the
rosults of other expositionis which
show an enormous increase in tax.
le'l vailles in the stato when such
vxhil.its were displayed, causing
an increase in population and
a consetient rise inl real estato val
ues, besides an increase inl person
ally valies and an accompai lng
increase in the volume of ciiculat
ing money. It is not a locid en
tei priso for Charleston's benefit.
but one that loois to the interest
of the whole stato an' the south.

The usual arguments in favor of
biennial sessions of the legislature
are going tho'rounds of the news
papers.
Greetnville is to be congratulat
ed on her progress as evidenced by
tho begining of operations of her
electric street oar system.
Good roads increase the value of
adjacent land, save stock and vehi
Cles, increase the horso-draft power
and naka traveling a pleasure in
stead of a burden.
William L,. Ti enholm, comp
troller of the treasury under
Cleveland's first administration,

Tn the death of Dr. 11. Baur of
Charleston, Methodism loses ouie of
her staunchest supporters, and
Charloston a public-spirited, chris

Salo of the stato farms, discon
tinualice of col vict leases and ap

Looking over the list of com

pressed withI the fact that upper
Carolina takes second plaeo near
ly all the way through.
A tax on (logs is a proposition
this legislaturo -ill probably he
called on to consider. If We un
derstand the question propeily, an
ad valoren tax is the only kind
that will h11d uder the constitu
