As so many of our people are gone, to Atlanta, it may be of a great deal of interest to them to know that the South Carolina exhibit has attracled a grat deal of attention. What the Ltlanta C:nstitution so well and generously sayA in reference to the exhibit will be greatly appreciated by all of oul pe,lple. The exhibit "put8 to shame that of any any other State upon the groundils," -V the Constitution T.i; in saying a great de-LI, and as much is an b-dy could po?-sibly wi,h. atd a great deal more than oug t to be vx pec;e.1 a< the Legislat ure did absolutely dothing t->wards a State exhi-,it The South Carolina exhibit at t'e Exposi tion represents the unselfi-zhnes4 and patriotism of a few people. We take the following estr:-et- f romt the very elaborate report of what South Carolina has done at the great show: Among the States which have made a representation at the Cottom States and International Exposition none de serves more attention or will attract more comment than South Carolina.* * * * But all this is of the pa;t. South Carolina is here. She is riot only here in name, but she ii here with such aa exhibit as puts to shame that of ainy other State upon the grounds. The display from South Carolina is full, comprehensive and worthy even the greatest State in the Union- It shows a variety of product wonderful to behold, and which uut be a sur prise to even the South Carolinians who visit here. The South Carolina display is to be found in tbe agrricutltural building. The approach to it is niost striking. It is enter'ed by a huge gateway, the immense balustrades on ei.her sidec being formed of phosphate rocks. The and suggestive, and most all those who had supposed that South Carolina was a cotton State with cotten milling as the only industry possible, grow.ing out of cotton growing, will be pleased. The department of ornithology chal lenges comparison with anything to be found in the United States Govern ment building. That aevoted to fish is also wvell worth attention. In a ]arge case are to be found samnple< of the various grades of c'ot, bieginuintg with the most brittle short fibre? and concluding with the long fibre sea island, some of the. fibre.. .f which measure out almos i.ix inched. Cm rain grades of this sea i.ta,.d cotton are! bringing- to-dag3in the market fr.)m 40 to 4.5 cents per pound, an-t the poorest. of it commands easily 12 and 15 cents. A growing cotton stalk in a glass case is also an object of a great deal of attention. One of .the most unique displays is that devoted to rice. The display is in the shape of a cupola built 'over a pedestal with columns which look at a distance like brown marble, but on near approach are seen to be glass filled with rice.seed. Im mediately under the cupolt stands a sheaf of the grain, while all arou~nd it in cans and barrels is th-i rice i" its various stages and in its ditlerent qualities from the time it leaves the sheaf until ready for the table. THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY. Near by is another display, the story of which is remarkable. The growth of the tobacco industry has been withont parallel in the agtri cultural history of the State. * * * The fact is tbte iisplay is such a one as must draw attention not only to South Carolina, but to her people. When we consider that this favored region is inhabited by 1,151,149 people according to the census of 1890, living in 217,000 dwellitigs, we find aweabthy developed community capable of taking much of everything that comnes their way. South Carolina supports a large number of excellent schools and pubV c institutions fully op to the standard of the most advanced States in the Uniont. The debt of the State is S6, 500,000 and is scarcely $5 per capita, The State stands thirteenth in wealth in the Union, and in the single year of 1894, not withstanding the hard times, madec an increase of 53.300,000. It is not in the cotton fields alone, as has been already stated, that South Caro lina excela. The advantages of her water power have beeni such that the State already leads in cotton mann facturing, and the ssme power must give her a like supremacy in everything in which motive power becomes a factor. LEADS IN 3IANUFACTURlING W hile speaking of the manufacturing capabilities of the State it may be said that Spantanburg County enjoys the proud distincti,n1 of operating more spindles and looms. and of investing more money in the cotton manufactu ring business than any other ,county in the South. There are in the county sixteeni distinct companies and, count ing toein process ofconstruction, twenty-two separate mills, with c>m 'l dapital stock 'of $5,364,o00, ope ing 390,558 spind.tes and 11,984 ma, consuming annmally nearly 150. 0 bales of cotton, .employing 8,00 operatives and payinmg out in wages and for spindles- cotton, etc.. near! $10,000,003 a year. When all the mills now projecied are completed, one-half the population of the county will be dependent upon these cotton mills. Most of the operatives are native born, having been drawn from the farms to the mills; they have no disturbing hbor organizatioas and thcre is no need of the labor agitator, at all dif ferences b,tween employers and em ployees are settled among themselves and in accordrnce with wise and just S:ate laws that have been enacted, the operrtives are intelligent and contented, and in skill and efficiency their su perior are not to be found in New England. Thtse mills have been pay ing regularly 5 per cent semi-annual dividends, and at the same time laying aside large sums for running expenses; many have increased and some have doubled their original plants largely out of surplus earnings, issuing mrrely nominal amounts of new stock; and the stock has btealily advanced and is to-day quoted at from 125 to 156, and none oftered for sale at these figures. The succass of these mills has been phenominal, and proves conclusively that the Piedmont region of 6outh Carolina is in the very heart and centre of the manufacturing region of the South.

Ridgeway, NQv. 28.-Cards have been out some time announcing the marriage of Mr. John Blakely Bj) d to Miss Delphine, youngest daughter of M r. John A. DesPortes, both of Ridge way, on Wednesday evening, Novem ber 27. The church where the cere mony was to take place had been beau tifully decorated by the frlends of the young couple wi:h chrysanthemuns 1ndi magnificent lerns, the nost tric i-g decoration being a grhceful arch ;blaze with many canidle; from th ecentre hung a "true luv.- knot" of pure hiie chrvsanthemuns. L >nz before the h-ur fixe I for the ceremoiiv the church wa, filled to .verfiawing. The entrai,c.. of the bride'd i-tdher was the signal that the bridal larty had artived. Beneath the skillful fin vrrs of Miss Martha Hill White the organ pealed forth Wa.>er's grand "Marche des Francailles," from Lohen grin. Very slowly came the ushers, two by two, up the aisle keeping per feet time - to the music, crosing at the hancel and taking their stand in line on eithet side. Then e imne the brides maids, looking pure and sweet in their owns of airy white organdie, pro fmselv trimmed witb white satin rib bin, carrying bouquets of exquisite white and golden chrysanthemums, tiud with long loops of white satin ibbons, cr ossing and taking their laces in front of the line of ushers. xpectancy had reached its height, wen, simultaneously from different etrances, came the groom with his est man, Dr. J. W.

Meeting at thbe chancel the bride and rioom paused beneath the love knot, he tiev. Maxcy Hook, us'ng the beau ital ceremony of the Methodist Epis > pal Church, made them one, the rganist playing a soft, sweet accom pniment. The party reversing the rder left the chu.ch, keeping time to endessobn's ever-sweet medding arch. At the home of the bride the rec.p lion rooms and halls were gay with bevanthemumns, potted plants, ferns nd palms. The bride and groom, tanding beueath an immense four-leaf lover and "wish'bone'' of pure whits brysantbemnumfs, received the con ratulations of many griends. Supper was served upon thr ee largze ables. The one occupied by the bridal riv was decor ated with white and oldt, tiny bunches of violets scattered v r :he cloth, the colors correspond ng with those worn by the bride, ri.emaids, and the boutonieres of he g-oom and u-hers.
