http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/772608525

Collection consists of legal documents, correspondence, and other records chiefly pertaining to the legal affairs of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition Company, principally a lawsuit or lawsuits brought against the company by Henry Oliver, the American Lucol Company, and the Darlington Electric Fountain and Supply Company. Records of 1900-1901 concern lumber supplies for the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition in Charleston (S.C.) and other matters. There are also a few records pertaining to a proposed theater and restaurant to be built as part of exposition, including a floor plan and a prospectus. Correspondence includes two letters to James Simons from Eola Willis, and a letter (Dec. 3, 1901) to F. W. Wagener from Kate Mason Rowland of Richmond (Va.), who begs him to remove an observation of Lincoln's birthday from the exposition calendar. "If ever a man was a tyrant and oppressor, if ever a man waged an iniquitous war to crush the liberties of a free people, that man was Abraham Lincoln." Other correspondents include John D. Cappelmann and attorney George H. Sass.
