Liberal reduction made for largo Ad vertisements. W. W. BALL, Proprietor. ENS. S. C, Nov. 10, 1805. Seeing the Sights. The Editor is at the Mecca of all tho country?the groat Exposition. Ho Is here with his best oncumbrance, uu dorstand, and overy man in tho coun try should go and do likewise. Come by the 8. A. L. and embark at Clinton or Greenwood. Swiftly and safely you will be set down. The travel is tamo and thoro are no sights in the land scape, but you collido with tho world when you got bore. Plonty of room nero?olbow room although tho crowd is masslvo. Stop with Mrs. Lamar .308 Itawson Street. Como to the Exposi tion; it is in Georgia?Tillman's prom ised land?Egypt,-Arcadla-all Arcad ians. Como to the Exposition. There is no cheat In it; bring the babies, the boys, the lassies, the d?ar old lady, grandma. Get away from tho conven tion, got away from everlasting poli tics for a day; you won't rogrot it.? One thing you will learn; yea two things you will be made well aware of; first, all the world has not its oyes fixed on South Carolina: yoa that little municipality is a mero parish?yea not a man or woman of us Is noted?Till man would bo lost. Hero with more than ten thousand stirring mortals el bowing you, with the evidences of mans wisdom and skill and what ho is doing with tho raw matorial on the earth and undor the waters aud in tho sky staring you in tho faco you will take the lesson ^^f your inslgnlficanco individually and talk loss of your own importance Hsthe more of grandeur of God's world of humanity and. the ^^works of man - in the aggre p|^^l*!^eiily a gtnJfflWtwi beautiful IWJtory in the concrete?a commentary on what is being accomplished in the useful, the beautiful, the wonderful, in the closing years of tho century. Wo write while oating?we snatch a mo ment?we feel a deep intorost in every thing at homo; especially the twelve hundred readers of tho Advertiser and we are not happy away from home. While aCarolinian of Carolinians,[Lau rens is the best and tho gamest county. We wish everybody could come down here. The grand things that other people do?the view of tho world's grand achievements especially in the fine arts broadens and educates. Wo havo not time to give details.? Tho Editor rode in the Hying machine ?his incumbrance likewise?but we are safe. Dunk Adams, Will Leake, Miss Em, his sister, Dr. Hugh K. Aikon, Miss Lidie Irby and Will Gambraol of Greenwood we wore delighted to en . counter here. We thought them tho salt of the earth, being from Laurons. P. S. Atlanta would be a great city like Chicago or New York but there is no big river and high bridge to jump from. This is unlucky, but tho chances are that thoy will contrive tho river. Tho Advertiser has encountered only threo stovo pipe tiles. So you will con clude he is with tho wool hat crowd. NOV. 14, 11 P. M. W? havo oxhaustcu auot-her day at ?'the exhibit and aro ourselves about ex hausted. It would take volumes to givo tho details and wo have neither time nor space. It was Pennsyvania day. Tho Govornor of that great Stato and the Stato officers with a grand caval cade from tho Quaker State, had?a fino procession and there was speechmak ing aud all that, but of course no Caro linian would stop to listen at a spoech ?we have cabbage and corn bread? Johny constant?at homer Whon tho ship was in danger and about to go down, the jack tars concluded to have prayers?but as no one know the lingo for such emergencies?they took up a collection. So in every omergency the South Carolinian calls for a speech? but we passed on. Patriotism led us to the agricultural building where our little State has a little space. Wo hope it is not significant, but our fossils aro decidedly in evidence. Our rice is vory fine-and the Darlington tobacco exhibit beautiful and there is much to bo proud of. Properly handled there sources of tho Stato aro comparablo with those of any. Charleston women havo a beau tiful room in tho Woman's Annox, and tho portraits of our great men aro there?not confined to the groat of Charleston?but the great of tho State, North, South, East and West, as much to inspire an Anderson boy as a lad whose first improssions aro those of the breakers frothing at Drunken Dick's ,> shoals. The women who havo gotten up.this exhibit and the othor citizens of the Stato, notably Darlington pooplo dosorve groat credit. A South Caro linian need not bo ashamed. Illinois, Alabama, New York, Pennsylvania, and California are rich States and have handsome buildings here and they are glad to have us old continen tal respectables rest and resposo on their richly upholstorod sedans. Our Commissioner Koche, was not at his desk and we were sorry to mice him, but everything Is beautifully arrangod in the Carolina department, all due to his skill and taste and he has aohived a glory out of tho material sent him. The Dispensary exhibit is thoro and a young man to hand you a pamphlet copy of our dispensary law, but the young fol low is to this hour innocent how he was carrying coals to Newcastle when he modestly handed us that pamphlet. Gov. Evans' picture is displayed near by but we gladly note it docs not sur mount this particular display. Tho great silver punch bowl willed by Old Hickory to the bravest Carolina soldier in the first foreign war is thoro with the proud record that it is to go to the last survivor of the Palmetto Reg ment, as there could be no award to tho bravest when all were bravo. The old President must have had in mind "de ter pulohoriml"?let it be given to the most beautiful?tho decree in which cane caused thadestruotjon of Troy and the ruin of so many princes and princesses and would do so again don't you know. There Id also there, tho sword preeented by the State of South Carolina to Captain John Simkins for gallantry in the Mexican war and lent by Mrs. McGowan Simkins of Edgo-1 field to the ladies for this oxhibit.? Capt. Simkins, was tho father of our fellow citizens, Ex-Mayor Lowis W. Simkins and Mr. Arthur Simkins, and was killed as a Colonel in the bloody engagement at Secessionvillo In de fending the State. The exhibition looks now liko it would be a success it is attracting thousands to tho South and bringing much money along with the thousands. If you conclude to go go by the tenth of Decomber before tho wintor has got a fair hold. Everything is reasonablo enough?you can do tho thing in three days on about $15.00? but you can't bring homo tho beautiful and costly things tbat aro there, but may bring homo an idoa of?"there aro more things in heaven and oarth, Ho ratio, than aro droampt of in your phil osophy." Don't go alone, go in pairs or triplets; if moro than three, somo will get lost for sure. We were on tho grounds and in tho city for two days, and nights for that mattor, must havo on countored thirty or forty thousand peo ple and did not sco a drunkon man, nor hear a loud or unseemly word uttered and saw no occasion for a policeman. And we are trying to introduce the dis pensary into Georgia and tho rest of tho world. We woro proud to note that Laurons, In tho famous Harris Llthia water, has a place in this magic picturo of tho world's oxhibit of its skill und treasures. A Jewel. Tho oloction for Mayor and Alder men of Charleston occurs in December A primary has been held by tho De mocracy and J. Adger Smyth has been nominated over Mr. Bryan and Mr. Huger. Mr. Hugcr is the candidate of tho old Know Nothing party and will run as an Indopondont and will bo sup ported by tho Reform organization of the city. Gov. Evans, tho product of Senator Tillman, will appoint all tho managers and commissioners of elec tion from tho Independents. It is Gov. Evans and his organs who ttnito with old Nick In quoting Scripture for their purpose and roll under tho tongue? hotter a Radical than an Independent. Gov. Evans has been pluming himself and strutting as an "organized" Dem ocrat, taking the plums and dainties out of tho lap of his brother Sampson Pope and leaving him to pot-liquor and corn dodgers. Verily, what a jowcl of an "organized" Domocrat havo we hero and see how important it is, whoso ox is gored. M ? ? In the Convention. Last weok was exhausted in discuss ing tho educational clauso and a three mill tax was provided for tho public schools instead of the present two mill tax?a $1.00 poll tax was also provided. The college sections undisposed of. An ordinance was passed postponing the meeting of the Genoral Assembly until the second Tuesday in January when we presume the members will be under a new constitution. Pur suant to this ordinance t ov. Evans will issue his proclamation adjourning the meeting of tho Legislature on the 20th inst. *** It would now seem that tho dologatcs to tho Convention will take $4.00 in stead of $2.00 per diem. "The ants are a people not strong, yot thoy pro pare (.heir meat in the summer." **+ Motto for the South Carolina Exhibit. "What we lack in meat wo havo in drink." I Was Sick Every day, suffering with stomach, liver and kidney trouble, also from after effects of the t, Mr* B. F. Harris grip, with pain In my back aud limbs. Different medicines failed to benefit me. The first dese of Hood's Sartaparllln relieved my stomach. I have continued and I am now permanently Hood's^ Cures cured.
