i The union times!" i UNION, S. C\* * | THK CII1CACO KXl'OSIT10X. Commissioner lloi'lifl Issue* u Circular j In KcgUl'd to An KxlilMt. A convention composed of delegates from tho Southern States ami cities xros held in Chicago in February to consider the advisability of holding an exposition of Southern resources ami products in that city this year, and to devise ways aud means for covering the cost of such aud exposition. The convention resolved without a dissenting voice that the Exposition should Ue held. The city of Chicago pledged itself to undertake tlio whole expeuso of organizing aud maintaining the ex- > position. JJ^The several Southern States undertook, on tho part, to provide tho exhibits, and to pay tho expense of collecting, arranging and organizing their exhibits. When the delegates from South Carolina met in Chicago, it wiw deemed advisable that if the Legislature failed to mnke nil appropriation to place la.'- | fore tho world the products and re sources of our various cotton and oth- ' er industries at the Imposition in Chicago, n trial should he made to raiso the necessary fuuds from other soiirct*. The legislature you are aware. di?l nothing for the end in view, and it j now becomes my duty, l>v the authority of the Governor of the State, to invite you to attend a Convention to he Leld at Spartanburg, on Wednesday evening, April If?th, I sfor the purpose of providing a plan by which an J?xhibit of the industries of the State ahull bo made at Chicago. It is hardly necessary for me to place before you the imperative reasons why we, of , this State, should make the Lest ex- I liibit. The great developnv nt of our cot"fon factories, the natural advantages we have of climate, water power ami cotton raised around the mills must invite the attention of capital, thereby mutwiii; uiii niiiu- IIUI I V?I in agriculture, but also iu cotton t'ul>ric | industries. Iu no other wav can our farmers be i hiotc judiciously helped than by giving litem h market, wo might say, near to | each and every farm, thereby linking "together agriculture, manufacture and i commerce. J request, therefore, that tlm mayors j and iuteudants of towns in the State ' attend the convetion at Spartanburg, , and appoint three delegates from each of the cities and towns to represent their several municipalities in this eon veutiou for the purpose of injuring an exhibit by South Carolina at Chicago. I request that each of the Cotton manufacturing cut- rprises in the State j nppoint representatives to attend the j Convention at Spartanburg. I also request that each of the rail- | Toad companies doing business in the i State will appoint a repn 'sciitut ivo to | -attend the Convention. I shall be obliged if you will inform "me at your earlie t convenience the names of the delegates you have up- I .pointed in response to this address. Very respectfully vmirs, K.

Ontsitle of revelation, thero is surely HUtUcient proof of original siu nuil mornl turpitude in human kin<l. Ii a man cotihl be lifted up in a balloon high enough to boo tho earth roll under him inn! ooiilcl keen hiH liositiiin uutil it hud turned a tiino or two upon its axis, the scene that would pass lib vision would he proof enough. Wh it a horrible revolution of wur and blood shod ftud suffering would pass beneath him in almost every part of the earth ! We boast of modern civilization, l?u: lias every advanco to bo baptized in blood? Suppose a man could s e a j one time all the present misery of the i world and all the crime that cans* d it. could ho endure tlio awful picture: Would it not paralyze his soul and oh literate his power of vision and mulct him a maniac? I'very day we read ot these horrors and shudder, hut they ar< afar off and we have become almost hardened to them by their daily repetition. If familliarity with danger breeds contempt, for it so does, a dail? recurrence of crime and suffering and grief breeds iuditlcrei.ee. Unices wi see it with our own eyes we are not greatly affected. The weepiug prophet exclaimed: j "Oh, that my head were waters and i mine eyes a fountain ot tears!" but J there is no prophet to weep nowadays, j We have no time to weep. The poet j says: "M.inV inhumanity to man Males couu.h-xs thou* u Is mourn," and if wo could actually see every bat- { tleliol l mill nil the blood and agony. i and into nil the prisous ami chaingiim.o j 1111 1 into every Lovel utul garret and i dark alley where tho poor do eongre- ; gnte, an.I into tliu hearts of ail the j mourners at nil tliu funerals, we would j never smile again. The memory ? ' them wouhl h iuut us ami wo would be ! more than willing to quit this horrib'u | world and take our chances in another. Ihit we will let the preachers talk al?>ut this. Wo must look on tie. brighter side. There is no comfort in j pondering and lamenting what is going on in Turkey and Abvssiunia and Cuba, or over the loug-coutinued qunr rels at Washington, or tho shameful broils in Kentucky, or the daily crimes and murders and suicides and lynch ings that till tho newspapers. Now is tho blessed springtime, when all nature is smiling upon us. When tli flowers are blooming and the gra^s ispringing and tue birds are singing', liven the beasts of the Held and tlu fowls in tho yard are happy, and evem created thing save man seems to rejoice in the goodness of the Creator. What is the matter with man, anyhow? Woman is not so. nor arc the little children who play and bpurt urouud us. The poet says: "Every i>ros|>eo p!? us-"1* And only in.ni is v. P." Hut after all, there is comfort In knowing that there arc some good i i n. * i'R, l<>ts of tliein. \ oil en i 1' ck tln in out in town and city am' | eouatr/, ntul u great traveler who hit*-' I lien nil over tin? world and mingled ; with (ti-utilcs and Jews, ami Arabs and I Hottentots, and the heathen Chinee, says lie found good, kind-hearted people of every tribe and nation and religion oil tin' globe.

I Neither l'olk nor Pierce nor Harri- J sou nor Johnson nor Grant saw his ; three score nml ten. Bat ever since King David made tho declaration that tho days of our years are threo score year* and ten that has been the allotted ago of man. Jt '? ;^i!] the average ago of a prudent reau whatever may be his oceu^atioi, Man is very much like a wagon. If it is kept greaiet and pa!hied and under sholter it will last twico as long as if it bo neglected. Of course, the mind has much to do with the health of tho body. Trouble will shorten life and bring the gray hairs sooner to tho grave and that is why a farmer's life is the most conducive to longevity. It is tho most independent of all occupations. It is subject to less temptation, less hazard,less worry, and it is a little closer to God in its daily communiou with nature. Tho accepted tables give to laborer's lorty-four years, to mechanics fortyseven, to merchants forty-eight, to professional mon fifty-two, and to farmers sixty-four years. If long life is an index of good health afld prosperity then the farmer is blessed above all other people. There is foroo and truth in the old maxim that "God made the country and rnuu made the town." Hut after all the crimo and misery that we read of this ago is a great improvemcnt ou Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham could find more thau ten good men in any town or city in this country,I believe ho could fiud fifty in Cnrtcravillo and a hundred nnd fifty women. The Lord's pity and consideration for sinners is very wonderf..) .?? If. ...Ml _ - 1 1 '? ' '* iiii.n iie wm save ? ttuoie ciiy mil lor tin- sake of ten good men. Maybe tlmt is why Ho dosont rain firo and brimstono on the wicked now. It might do harm to tho righteous. Tho ungodly ought to give Christians credit for that. If tin1 wicked people of this world were all 1 unche I in one country and not a good iiuin in it how long, I wouder, would tho storm stay off? How long would the wicked stay there it tiny could possibly get out? It is a redo? ming iriit in human nature, however wicked and depraved, to respect virtue and good people. There are but few < f tho ungodly wlio would abolish the churches if they could, or who would riur their children in any but a Christian country. ? Hill Ar.r, in Atlanta Constitution.
