Our Show at Augusta.
'?TJG?STA, Ga., F - 7.-South Caro?
linians who have . isited the great
ta exposition most have felt
nach pride when they examined the
exhibit of the t<jsource8 and products
of the Palmetto State. The display
is unquestionably the most varied
and attractive- in the mam building,
?ad fr has already excited the sur?
prise and admiration of thousands.
jFewv indeed, realized that our Stete
.could h ive made such a creditable
?oowing of her agricultural, mechan?
ical and' mauuiactoriug products
"The eyes, of the people were opejied
r'to tho possibilities of the State.
i? To.Carolinians it most have been
-a reassuring sight, lt ought to
have? strengthened their confi?
dence in their native State.
IFbey saar substantial evidences of
the nn??QHted, resources of ber soil
?nd of the already large industries
v BOT operated. Here were7 to be
seen samples of all species of grain,
?ide by side with bales . of .cotton.
Alongside of specimens of exhaustible
phosphate were nodules of gold and
- blocks of substantial and valuable
granite.' Rice was a next door neigh?
bor of wheat and rye. Samples of
?twenty-seven varieties of wheat suc?
cessfully raised in. the Stater where
scattered among as many varieties of
-oar peerless cotton.
Thea, came the mechanical and
' iflanulkciunng display. Cotton goods
o? all varieties, fertilizers, bagging
and dozens of e ther evidences of a
?healthy and sie idy industrial growth
^were arranged in an attractive man
1 ner in the spec? assigned io Carolina
Cooid such an exhibit fail to attract
?niversai attention ? Could anyone
iai! to recognize the patent fact that
Carolina is one of the garden spots of
; t?*e globe?
The value of the Carolina exhibit
resolvesvitse?f into one of the value of
advertisriTg; The problem to decide
whether it is of any worth to have
thousands of people see and talk
. about an exhibit which indicates the
unlimited resources of <he State.
^Strangers could not help bnt look with
-amazement at the display. It was in
I he nature of a revelation to many.
Cations to- say, many yet entertain
the [dea that all our people do is to
raise a little eo?u and plenty of cotton, |
And that tliey cared absolutely noth?
ing about diversified industries.
They forgetsthe fact that South Caro
. tina consumes more cotton in her
manufactures than any other Southern
J?tate The inspection of the Pametto
State's exhibit dispelled any illusion
Jttrangers might have entertained
about it.
The astonishment only increased
when told by G. Wanner that far?
mers in South Carolina can grow side
by side crops that yield from 250 to
330 pounds of lint cotton per acre,
.oats from 18 to 150 bushels per acre,
.wheat from 5 to 25 bushels, rye from
5 lo 20 bushell, corn ire m 10 to 50
bushels, potatoes from 50 to 400
bushels, and peas from 10 to 15 bush?
els. The exhibits of ali of these pro
ducts indicate the quality raised.
If every Stile in the Union had
been represented at the Agosta ex?
position Sooth Carolina's exhibit
would be ranied among the first,
it is a great pity that only $500
could be utilized in arranging the
??splay. The cases containing speci?
mens of birds, fishes and animals,
illustrating the natural history cf the j
State, were not brought to Augusta.
The Sooth Carolina exhibit occu?
pies a position doe its pre-eminence
It is in the right wing of the main
building, on the direct line to the
music hall. Location is, however,
not necessary as the display is gen?
erally looked for. The work of ar?
ranging the exhibit was wisely en?
trusted to G. Wanner, of Walhalla,
who, for a number of year?, was con?
nected with the Palmetto brewery.
The exhibits are ail artistically ar?
ranged and present quite a sit iking
appearance.
The specimens are in the main the
same as those'sent to the exposition
at New Orleans in 1884. They were
then carefully selected and arranged
by such men as II. W. Kavenel, ol
Aiken ? B. 31. Sims, of Columbia,
A. R. Gueiard, of Charleston and
C->mmH8ioner cf Agriculture A. P.
Butler, and are to day as fresh as
they were five years ago. The ar?
rangement is in a measure the same
as tras used in New Orleans. The
central ideas, which at that time \
attracted so much attention, are
?> v4 ,* ?|,e exhibit here. j
>le of Carolina being most !
i-irfcly ii ?rested in agriculture, that j
'ndostry receives the most' attractive I
li?pUy The design which is woik
cl ?ut in agricultural products cou-,
?ists of a large pagoda, forty-eight
feet high from base to summit The
roof is suggestively thatched with
sheafs of golden rice, wheat an^ eats.
The covering is supported by .four
large columns/which are, artistically
decorated with grain-corn, wheat,
oats, rye, harley, * rice ?od
grasses. Very pretty designs - are
worked out of the beads- of|
stalks of rye and wheat and
pretty arid graceful borders and
fringes ate made of the sheafs of rice
and wheat. On one panel a very
pretty, rosette is modelled of bits of |
South Carolina's varied agricultural
products. The supports, of the
arches are entwined with stalks of
com and grain bound with- skeins of
Carolina jute. Between the colnms
there are tiers of shelves aft which
there ace arranged specimens of the
various horticultural products ,of the
State : Peaches, pears* grapes, cher
ries, "plums, :apricots; *n^ctariiies,
gooseberries, in haudsome museum
jars and preserved in alchol. On the
tapltow of shelves are arranged 160
jaxs containing wheat, oats, rye, bar?
ley,, peas, beans, grass seed, ;.?srn,
np and lowland- rice, 'nats^fiujas.,
The specimens came from almost1
every coo my in the^State, and repre?
sent the very many varieties raised
in" th is State.
.Two pyramids on opposite sides
of the enclosure were decorated with
samples, of domestic wines and jellies.
The wines came from - the vineyards
of C. C. Lane, of Abbeville county ;
A. Stork, of Columbia; E. M. Sloe-f
ber, of Columbia ; Paul Quattlebaum,
of Lexington j ll B Buist, oft&reen
ville; Dr R. T. WeldoV-Of. fereen
ville ; G Wanner, Vine l?uT vine?
yards, Walhalla, Oconee, and the
Oconee Grape Grower's and Fruit
Distilling association.
Just across an aisle and running
almost paralled with the pagoda is
the beautiful display of the native
woods of South Carolina. Such a
collection lias hardly ever been
equalled. It is a most important ad?
junct of any display of .Carolina's
wealth. It represents nearly every
species of rac chantalle timberTin the
State. The swamps of the Pee Dee,
Santee, Edisto and Savannah and the
mountain, valley and highlands all
furnish, specimens. The specimens,!
ire mostly in blocks, cut two feet in
length, giving a section of the trunk,
with the bark attached^ . The^rain j
ind texture of the wood' is pearly*
shown as well as the polish which tlie
wood is capable of receiving. .!The
samples are: all plainly marked and
the counties from which they were
received given. *
A Big Row at Charlotte.
A big row occurred at Charlotte Fri?
lay evening immediately after the clos?
ing of Forepaugh's afternoon perform?
ance. The trouble grew out of au in?
terview between Sam" Jones and Fore
paugh, which was held in an old dis?
used compress room, near the pavilion.
The interview was occasioned through
a story gotten up by Jim Cook, who de?
clared that Sam Joues was tn-the circos
daring the performance. Sam was im?
mediately telephoned for, ?pd Mr Cookr
seeing there might be trouble, sent for
his friends, among them Harris, of the
News, and St Clair, of the Chronicle ;
Dowd, of the Timas ; Dr Strong, of
the Democrat, and Bakely, Hirst &
Vogler, job printers. The . delegation
was all on hand when Mr. Jones ar?
rived, and Mr. Cook seemed to be in
the swim with such odds against Sam.
Forepaugh smilingly grasped Sam's
hands and told him he was .glad that
he had visited the circus du'ing the
eveuing. Whereupon Mr. Jones in?
quired who preferred such charg'a^^and
was told that it came /rom toe '^press
representatives present. It T*wa?, uow
time for the press to assert itself, and
w"r h one u n an i m ous ?-ceord they, all
boldly faced Sam and iuformed him
that they bad personally seen him in
the show during the afterniK>n. f-bi's
riled Sam, and forgetting'th? scriptural
injonction to "do good auto them that
despiteful use you," he lit into them,
fist and skull, and in a very short time
knocked ont the crowd. St Clair re?
ceived a severe lick on his left ear and
Sell over into the cellar. Wade Harris,
Dowd and Dr. Strong had their legs
and arms severely cut-crawling through
a window to escape from Sam's' wrath
Jim Cook made his escape up stairs,
but fell through an elevator bole and
was badly burt. Blakely, Hirst and
Vogler received a severe drabbios and
were finally kicked into a coal hole.
Mr. Forepaugh came off unhurt, but
not without receiving a tirade of re?
bukes for engaging in the circus busi?
ness.' Your Uncle Joues came off
without a scratch and was able to
preach a fine sermon last night. The
Herald man enjoyed the faa immensely
from a safe distance, bot took no part
in the performance except being an
interested spectator.-Salisbury Her?
