The News & Courier in speaking of the matter ays: "The most complete exhibit nade at. the Atlanta Exposition vns made by South Carolina The xhibit lrom this State at the 4ew Orleans Exposition in 1885 ttracted the wideRt attention, nd resulted in the investment o? i great deal of outside capital in he manufacturing and other in lustrial interests of this State, >esides attracting a number of 'cry desirable immigrants to South Carolina.

If this State can attract'capital hrough Expositions in other states, she can attract a greater imount through an Exposition of ler own.
