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 Cotton Palace. 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 ten. The buildings themselves display a modern adaptation of old Spanish architecture and on every hand may be found suggestions of old Madrid, Sev ille and Barcelona.

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. JAMES HABERSHAM.

Imagine this Ivory City, If you can, then flood it with golden sunshine, like the splen dor of God’s smile, bend over it a blue Italian sky, people it with happy men and women, fan it with softest airs stirred by sweet music, and you have some idea of the joys that await you in the Old City by the Sea.
