Special Commissioner Averlll Presents for the Consideration of the Ueneral Aa<ein- bly the Iteneflte that Will Accrue from an Exhibit of South Carolina's Resources. To the members of the General As sembly of South Carolina: At the approaching session of the legislature there will be many sub jects of great importance presented for your consideration, and on which you will be called to give your views by vote for or against. One of these will be a measure seeking an appro priation allowing an exhibitot the in dustries and resources of South Caro lina at the great World’s Fair to be held in St. Louis in 1904. To present for your consideration the benefits that will accrue to every interest in the State from such an ex hibit is the purpose of this paper, and your careful consideration of it is earnestly requested. As to the scope of this proposed ex position, a brief statement may prove of interest: Its approximate cost will be $40,- 000,000. The leading governments of the world will participate. Exhibits will be displayed in fifteen (15) great departments. The Agricultural building covers twenty acres, cost $800,000. Twenty-five (25) acres devoted to live stock exhibits. Acreage of World's Fair site, 1,200. All States and Territories of th United States are invited to partici pate in the exposition and show to the millions of visitors who will be in attendance from all parts of tne world their industries and resources. As to the benefits to accrue: In the last twelve years South Car olina has made great advancement <n the development of its industrial and agricultural possibilities; to place the State in the position it should and can take among the sisterhood of States, more population and increased capital are required. Through th** medium of a full and comprehensive exhibit at St. Louis both can he se cured. When the exposition recently held in the city of Charleston was projected and the co operation of the people of the State was being solicited, many expressed the view that South Caro lina could not make a creditable ex hibit; that tne industries and re sources were not varied enough to at tract attention. When the Stare building, with its magnificent line of exhibits, was thrown open to the pub lic, it was seen that this was a grave error and the universal verdict was that no finer collective exhibit had ever been presented. For this the legislature appropri ated $50,000, and if the records are carefully examined it will be seen that it has already been the direct cause of bringing into the State over ten times that amount in capital in vested in new enterprises. The management of the World’s Fair has received assurance from all the principal nations of the world that they will be represented by ex hibits and by their people. A large percentage in the yearly increase of the population of the United States comes from the Old World; repre sentatives of the home-seekers will be at St. Louia to exm' ne the resources and possibilities of every section of our country before deciding on ioca tions. There are a large number of thrifty, well-to-do farmers in the northwest who yearly change their location in consequence of the rigor ous climate and seek homes in the South. Tennessee and Georgia se cured thousands of these desirable home-seekers as the result of the ex positions at Atlanta and Nashville. South Carolina can secure its portion through an exhibit of its agricultural resources and possibilities at St. Louis. It is, however, not only in the agri cultural line that good will result from an exhibit. In 1890 there was invested in manufactures within the State a capital of $29,270,201; in 1900 this had grown to $67,350 405, »:nd the number of establishments had in creased from 2,382 to 3,862. The majority of capital so Invested is in cotton factories and the manufactures of fertilizers. We have the resources In many sections of the State for the establishment of diversified indus tries; by bringing them to the atten tion of Investors, millions of addi tional capital can be secured for their development. The State is singularly favored in almost everything that tends to its uplifting; with climate, with re sources so diversified that every nat ural gift may be said to belong to it; with soils of an abundant fertility; with timber of many varieties; with building stones that are beginning to find a market in many States; with as many field crops as can be pro duced in any other locality; with garden vegetables and fruits to sup ply not only the home markets, but enough for the markets of the east, and to supply canning factories; with all our natural resources am' possi bilities, South Carolina can be made the banner State of the Sooth. Gentlemen of the legislature, you can materially aid in making it so. “The powerful and beneficlent in- flnenee of exnnsitions in shaoing and developing new industries and in giv ing profitable and certain employ ment to labor is one of the marked features of tne latter half of the nine teenth century and is now recognized by all civilized nations. Their great value as object lessons, in which are assembled ail the raw materials, all industrial inventions and appliances, ell artistic and educational work,con stantly grows upon enlightened com munities. “The concensus of opinion now is that no agency hitherto made known is so effective in bringing about good and great results as expositions, and nothing teaches so rapidly and forci bly.” Men of means are constantly seek ing and spying for the best opportu nities,the fields of fairest promise,the most inexhaustible resources; they are ever scanning the horizon for in dications of such regions and direct their course accordingly. An exposi- t.on is an object lesson which pre sents in a most attractive way all the industries and possibilities of a coun try, material and otherwise, and in every case it has proved itself the most successful power known in bringing in wealth and increased pop ulation. The experience of all who have patronized them testifies to this fact. Other Southern States will be fully represented at St. Louis, all seeking to bring new population and increased capital to their aid. Shall South Carolina calmly look on while the great stream of home-seekers and in vestors pass by and leave us behind because they know not of us? Or shall we boldly take our stand and at this, the greatest of all expositions, make South Carolina’s resources known to all the world? You are asked to do nothing that does not come within your line of duty; noth ing but that will ultimately and most surely reflect credit upon your au gust body; nothing but what will re dound to the interest of your State and of humanity; nothing hut what will mark your action as one of the truest wisdom and as a positive de claration of your intention to set an example of progress and to keep pace with the movements of the age Build up your State and assure for its people a triumphant procession along the paths of prosperity and honor.

Coffee Crop Ruined and Corn and Wheat Fields Laid Waste—Losses Suffered by German Capital Approx imate $6,250,000. Guatemala City, Guatemala, Dec. 18. —(Correspondence of tne Associated Press.)—It is probably due to some government instructions that the pa pers here have not said anything with reference to the eruption of the Santa Maria volcano, which can be considered because of its magnitude, as a national calamity. The losses suffered by German capital only are not less than $6,250,000, consisting of houses and machinery destroyed and the destruction of many other properties belonging to other foreign ers as well as to natives, is added to this amount, the actual losses ascend to a fantastic sum. The volcano is still in activity, and a new eruption is feared at any time. The suffering is indescribable for besides the loss of coffee, which is estimated at about 300,000 quintals, the corn and wheat field?, are ruined. * Owing to the unusually high rate of exchange business is entirely par alyzed, for ail impo.ted articles have reached such prices that very few persons > an afford ,0 buy them.
