Those in charge of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition to be held in Charleston next year are working on all lines to make the exposition a success. They are wida-awake and up-to-date. Having had Thursday set apart at the State fair as "Exposition Day." and arranged for addresses to be delivered by tha Lruvemur, rrcsiucui ui u?v ??wriv? fair society and others, the exercises to occur immediately following tho military parade, and for booths on the streets where exposition literature wi'l be distributed, the management is now endeavoring tc bring a large crowd of Charlestoniar.s to the fair. Handsome invitations reading as follows, are also being sent to prominent people in all parts of the State: "The honor of your presence is requested at the State Fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society on "Exposition Day," November 1, 1900, :n Columbia, South Carolina, and to be present at the exercises In the interset of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition to be held at the fair grounds on that day." The management recently asked the Governor to endeavor to enlist the aid of the Governors of other States in making the exposition a success. Gov. KcSweeney has accordingly written .ha Governors of all the other States as follows: Your Excellency: The South Carolina Interstate and West Indian ExpoPnmnf Qvf Koo hoon /"?Vi o rforo.l htr OI11VSU VUUi^WUJ UMO L>VVU vuut vvtvu "J the State of South Carolina for the pur- j pose of holding an exposition in the city of Charleston next year. The spe- j cial object of this exposition is to make 1 a complete display of the arts, industries, manufactures and agricultural products of the States of the American ' union, and also to exhibit in the most attractive way the industries and re- j sources of Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico, the Central and South American re- j publics and the Philippines. There are great opportunities in th<?se countries for the meployment of American capi- j tal and enterprise. The capital stock of the exposition company is $250,000, and its estimated resources exceed $1,000,000. The undertaking has received the hearty approval of the authorities at Washington : and a bill making a appropriation o! $250,0^0 for the purpose of a govern- j ment exhibit at the exposition is nov/ on its passage through Congress, with a favorable report from the committee nn ?>T\r>rnr\riaHr?nc nf thp TTnilPfl StatM Senate. The exposition will open December 1, 1901, and close May 21, 1902. The most gratifying assurances have been received from the representatives of foreign governments In this country of their wish and disposition to parti :lpate in the exposition, which will present a splendid opportunity for the development of the commercial and Industrial possibilities of our country. It | Is the wish of the exposition company to have the several tSates of the union erect State buildings on the exposition | grounds or make special exhibits of their products and resource? in the , general buildings of the exposition , company. The exposition grounds are situated , within the city of Charleston and con- ! tain 160 acres, admirably adapted for j the purpose, and within convenient and ; easy reach both by land and water of | the great ralroad and steamboat liner. | I write now to ask your hearty co-op- j eration with us in the work of making I this exposition of permanent value to the commercial and industrial welfare of our country and beg that you will present the undertaking to the general assembly of your State with such ' recommendations as will result in ) full exhibit of the resources of your State at Charleston.

Wetster, a merchant of Keene, who has purchased 200 acres of land for $5,000. All who wish to Join the colony must deposit $300. Mr. Webster says that this winter work will be begun building factories and housesfor the colonists and clearing the land for farming. Commissioner Wilson, of the Internnal Revenue Bureau, has decided that proprietors of opera houses in cities having a population by the census of 1890 of 25,000 or less, shall not be called on to pay special tax for the current year because of newspaper announcements that the recent census shows a population of more than 25,000 STATE'S TAXABLE PROPERTY. Handsone Increase Over Last Year'u Figures. Charleston is the richest county in the State; Spartanburg Is next and Richland is next. Aiken, Anderson and Greenville follow in the order named. By "rich" is meant that the counties named have a higher assessed valuation for taxation, or pay taxes on more property than the other counties. The total amount of taxable property in the State is $183,030,613, on inchrease of $6,593,335 oover 1899. The amount nt railroad nroDertv is $27,771, 973; real estate, $102,137,777; personal property, $53,120,863. From the3e figures it will be seen that there is nearly twict a? much personal property as there is railroad property, and nearly twice aj much real estate as there is personal property. There is a large amount of railroad property in Darlington, according to the returns, than any other county. In fact the amount of railroad property in that county exceeds the amount of railroad property. Spartanburg and Cherokee have more perconal property than reel estate. Georgetown, Saluda, and Horry are short on railroad property and Saluda has the smallest amount of personal property, with Pickens next. The following figures give the valuations in each county: Abbeville?Railroad. $732,213; real estate, $2,695,585; personal, $1,016,150; total, $4,443,948.
