The South Atlautie amt West India Exposition will open in Charleston about seven weeks lienee, at which it is expected that South Carolina will have the finest collection of her pro ducts and resources that has ever been collected in one place. South Carolina is rich in products, active and latent resources, all claiming their places in this grand exhibition in Charleston. Other counties are actively at work getting together everything in them and placing them in proper condition to fittingly repre sent them in Charleston, and to show to the world what they have done and what they are capable of doing. Now what has Cherokee done? We answer, nothing. She is content to rush along in her strenuous"work at home as if she thought the world would come in some time and inspect her splendidly tilled fi Ids, her un limited mineral resources and unex celled water powers. Yes. to see her magnificent cotton, oil and carpet mills, fuumirys, machine shops, gin neries, knitting and grain mills. But the world is noc earing! Cherokee, like other counties, will have to meet the world on the half-way ground, and Charleston is aff >rding her the h'st opportunity for tnis meeting she has ever had. Cherokee cannot af ford to lose this fortunate chance. She must have an exhibit at, Charles ton, and to have it her people must go to work at once, and as one man.
