Charleston’s Great Exposi
tion Is Now In Full Bloom
of Its Beauty.
A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
Relying Absolutely Upon Their Own
Resources, the People of the “City
by the Sea” Have Created the Most
Complete, Symmetrical and Beautiful
Show Our Country Has Ever Known
Except World’s Fair at Chicago!
I
Some good and thoughtful people
think that wo are havin’; too many ex
positions; that thp subject Is exhaust
ed, their usefulness at an end. But
these good people are In the minority,
and $he great majority of our citizens,
considering the wealth of our favored
nation, our 80,OOo.OOO Inhabitants, the
infinite variety of our products and
the diversity of our interests, think
that we may well afford an exposition
In some sectlon of our country at least
once a year. In no other way. can
the people of one pajt of the land be
come acquainted with the progress;
peculiarities and necessities of the oth.
cr. So at least think tne good citizens
of Gharleii&on and South Carolina, and
they have proved their faith by mighty
works. Relying absolutely upon their
own resources, without the federal aid
so freely granted tp otho^ communi
ties no whit more deserving, they
have created the most complete, sym
metrical and beautiful show that our
country has yet known, saving only
the World’s Fair at Chicago. It marks
ture, the Court of Palaces, contains 1.. ‘
660,000 square feet of floor space, j
Built in horseshoe shape about the
lovely Sunken Garden, with its lake,,
bridges and fountains, this Court Is an
audacious and singularly successful
conception of the architect. The Pal
aces are three in number—the Cotton
Palace, the largest of the three; the
Palace of Agriculture and the Palace
of Commerce. The visitor who enters
at one. end of the shoe, and traversing
the three great buildings, with theli
attendant colonades and exaedrae,
passes out at the other end, will have
walked an honest mile and have seen,
in panoramic view, the products ol
the world. A large anex to the Pal
ace of Agriculture is given over to
such state exhibits as those of Louisi
ana, Oregon, Florida, etc. Facing the
Cotton Palace across the Sunken Gar
den stands the Auditorium, with its
ivory walls, festooned and garlanded
with tinted staff work. Still beyond
, and to the right is the West Indiai
building, with its contents from Cub/
and Porto Rico, which are giving out
statesmen so many unquiet hours, and
still beyond is the glittering entrance
to the ever festive Midway, where the
lions roar, the barkers bark, the spiel
ers spiel, and night and day are as
one.
A Lovely Prospect.
Standing in the kiosk in front of tlie
Auditorium, where the band plays
these sunny afternoons, one may Tools
far across to the gleaming waters oi
the Ashley and see through the trees
the shinglng facade of the Woman’s
building, an ancient residence, but in
perfect repair, which was once the
home of the William Lowndop of Rev
olutionary fame. As the eye follows
the course of the river it rests in suc
cession upon the shining porch of the
Illinois building, the red roof over the
homo of Cincinnati, the Negro build
ing, so full of suggestion and comfort
for the philanthropist and the states
man; the handsome liouso built by the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany, and then rests with infinite ,.d\-
isfaction upon the stately facade of
the Art Palace, with its priceless con
tents; then on to the spangled dome,
the graceful columns and long white
porch of Philadelphia’s building and
the charming Hispano-Grecian archi-
time or money. There is so much to

an epoch for our sister state and her
beautiful seaport city, and its good ef
fects will be felt throughout the whole
south. It presents to the world, as
nothing else could, the charactei’is-
tics which are destined to sot our sec
tion of the Union in the most con
spicuous position in the great indus
trial procession or this Twentieth cen
tury.
In Full Bloom of Its Beauty.
The Expositon is now complete and
in tho full bloom of its beauty. The
location could not bo Improved upon
for all the natural accessories of land
and water. Just within the city lim
its, upon the eastern bank of the Ash
ley river, where hoary live oaks Bway
their knotty boughs in the gentle
ocean breezes, a gently sloping plain
has been adorned by the best efforts
of the landscape gardener and the archi-
tect. Beautiful flowers, swaying palms, *
soft green grass, gleaming statuary; I
splashing fountains and varicolored*
electric lights combine with the har
monious delicately tinted colors of the ]
stately buildings, to make a picture
ever pleasing and never to be forgot

The buildings themselves display a
modern adaptation of old Spanish
architecture and on every hand may be
found suggestions of old Madrid, Sev

my son was suffering with severe
cramps and was given up as be

of us have the time to do it justice.
Here Is food for the student of racial
and Industrial problems. Here Is sug
gestion for the manufacturer and the
merchant, for earth, air and factory
have all contributed to its stores. For
the historian, here are priceless vol
umes, ancient documents, rare por
traits. For the antiquarian, a very
mine of relics that can b6 found no
where else. For the patriot here is
abundant food for pride in a land
which can produce so much and prom
ise so much more. For the young
there Is Inspiration and information.
For the old, infinite satisfaction. No
man, least of all a southern man, in
justice to himself, can afford to miss
this greatest, of southern Expositions.

the special display of fish, their man

and profitable hours can be spent than
those which are devoted to this build

so to speak. Besides all this, there
are the buildings devoted to Minerals
and Forestry, those of Alaska and
Guatemala and the noble structures
dedicated to the sovereign states of
Pennsylvania and Maryland. It is a
grand pic.ture and one to which print

Italian sky, people it with happy men

stirred by sweet music, and you have
some idea of the joys that await you
in the Old City by the Sea.

Habersham is an old and honored
name In the state of Georgia and one
of its claims to honor is probably but
little known to the citizens of the
state of this generation. But James
Habersham, whose picture has a con

ing at Charleston, introduced the cul
ture of cotton into tlie state and was
the first of the long line of toilers
that have since made Georgia so con
spicuous among her citizens for pro-
