Shew The Reporter Enjoyed Bis
Trip and Advises All, Who Can,
to tie.
Although the World's Fair al
Chicago was on a much larger plan
and there was mora capital invested
in (beSgreat and famous exposition,
the exhibits of the World's did not
surpass that of the Cotton States
and International Exposition now in
progress at the Sonth's renowned
"Gate City," Atlanta, a great deal.
THE SOUTH
Can justly pride itself on this
great show. Man can, by reviewing
the newspapers and tracts Bent oat
concerning its benefits, obtain only
a faint idea of what wonders that
have been stored in the city of At
lanta for the inspection and admira
tion of this great people. To give a
minute description of the exhibi
tions ot, what God has empowered
maiHprodnoe by education, cultii
ration, science, invention, genius,
mining, art, etc., is too great a task,
bnt for the benefit of those in onr
midst who contemplate a trip and to
those who are detained by circum
stances not permitting a peep at the
enormous displays we will tell of
what we saw on a recent trip :
AT THE MAIN EXTEANCE
of the Exf osition ground yon f aee
the large auditorium, in which Gil
more's famous band gives concerts
every few hours and where the great
speakings and lectures take place.
To the left of the gate is the At
lanta fire department, ready at an
instance to respond to an alarm. Di
rectly in front of this is the Georgia
building, in which are the products
of the fertile soil of that State, and
is a fair specimen of what can be
raise?Ntt that Stat. In the second
story of this building are exhibits
from the Lucy Eolb and the State
Normal and Industrial Institutes of
Georgia, showing the works in study
of fine art, fane? work, modeling,
stenography, etc. In the culinary
department of the Normal Institute
at Milledgeville (the old capital) a
cooking stove was arranged and the
yonng ladies of the school served
dinner of their own get np to many
visitors. This was a treat enjoyed
by thousands.
"LIBERTY BELL"
or Pennsylyania bnilding comes
next, to the left. The bell has a
guard of three men on duty at all
times who take great plesure in
answering any questions concerning
the bell or themselves. On the in
side of the reception room is a large
register book on which are thous
ands upon thousands of nami s of
visitors to the Atlanta Cotton StateB
and International Exposition, every
one haying the privilege of regis
tering it they choose so to do.
On 'you go to the New York re
' ception rooms, which are open to
" . everybody, but especially to New
- Yorkers. No exhibits in it.
Then you come to the bnilding
containing the fine art exhibits
work of the brain, brush, pen find
chisel, which is one of the most
attractive places of interest upon the
grounds.
"UirCLE bam"
or the United States Government
bnilding is then reached, in which
is found everything imaginable and
great many things that re unimag
inable. Specimens of almost every
specie ot fish, is seen herr, which
furnishes amusemet, amazement and
aston'ehment to men, women and
. children; there is also specimens . of
v almost every creeping thing, frc-m
JCiluale8t insect to the great
boaconstrictor, the lion, the bear,
teals, sea lions, whales, busts of the
original gods and goddesses of an
cient and foreign lands, warriors
-. of fame, agriculture experiment, in
- yentions, patents, fowles, and in fact
everything. There is one bjfet in
this museum that attracts special
attention, and that is the wagon in
which John Sherman traveled in
his inarch through the South daring
the late war, It has beed recognized
open sight by thousands of men of
Confederate days when their blood
would boil at the sight of same.
The govtrnmtnt exhibit is far su
perior to that of any other, and
much of its juccesa is due to the
Sorts of Dr. Chas. W Dabney, Jr.,
native North Carolinian, who was
State Chemist under the administra
tion of Jaryis as Governor, and who
it now chairman of the board of di
rectors of the' government, exhibit.
Mr. W F Tomlioson, of North Caro
lina, is assistant superintendent of
the government building, . and can
detect a Tar Heel as far as he can
tee wi;h the naked eye. He's a Rood
m. and a courteous gentleman
Tropical Florida has s bnilding in
Union passenger shed, but do not
pay any attention to their pleading
rear of the National Mu3ecm in
which is displayed the products of
the orange grove, the everglades, its
mineral and phosphoric resources,
and within only a few 3ards is Ala
bama's display of wood, iron, slack
and the products ot the farm and
yir.et ard. Among the many novel
ties in the Alabama building is a
hair brnsh burnt into charcoal that
was nsed by Trilby many years ago
as a tooth brush, and a ahaving mug
and brush to be used by Grover
Cleveland when he is elected to his
third term as president.
To tbe right of the Alabama
bnilding is the one of all nations, in
which glitters the diamond, rubies,
precious stones of foreign countries
and where is the exhibit from the
extreme west old California
which is alone worth the price of
a ticket from here there to see,
The fruit display is simply im
mense, to eay nothing Of the mineral
and farm products. It is with re
luctance that one leaves this bnild
ing bo artistieally and temptingly is
eyerything arranged.
The Woman's bnilding came next
but being naturally shy, we passed
on over the lake to the building in
which "eyerything in this building
was made in Georgia," consisting of
machinery, manufactures of all
kinds and patents.
A stroll through the colored peo
ple's department shows that there is
a genius and industry in that race
and that they are steadily develop
in? into a neefnl and intelligent
people. The fancy work of the dif
ferent female institutions is the
greatest hit with them bo far, the
exhibit not being near complete.
Railroad men take a share in the
exhibits, too, and have several lines
of new locomotive engines running
up to machinery hall, where the
great electrical current is furnished
that illuminates the entire grounds.
In this building are typesetting ma
chines, pin-making machines and
many other kinds of machinee.
In the massive transportation
bnilding is all kinds of yehicles of
every shape and description.
The forestry building is one of
the grandest displays on the grounds.
The entire building inside is built
of undressed timber, with the bark
upon it, and is weather-boarded
with bark from the woodland ef
the South. North Carolina comes
in for a sharp of praise in its mag
nificent production displayed there.
The buildings above spoken of,
with various smaller ones, complete
ly enciicle the beautiful lakes, on
which are numerous boats floating
about by the power of electric
motors.
"Midway" is the place for fun
and amusement in the various forms
by the different nationalities. The
Phenix Wheel, Mystic Maze, Con
gress of Beauties, Streets of Cari",

yillage is a "ketch." F ve cents ada
mitsyon with a ticket, which is good
for one emile at a glass of essence of

grounds at reasonable rates.

"For five years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, consulted the best physi

spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills;
but eould obtain only temporary relief. My
flesh was wasted away so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and
tog were drawn out of shape, the muscles
being wisted up in knots. I was unable to
oress t lyself, except with assistance, ard
eould o Uy hobble about by using a cane. I
Had no appetite, and was assured, by the
' doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at
limes, wore so awful, that I eould procure
relief only by means of hypodermic Injec
tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged
In clay, In sulphur, In poultices; but these
gare only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering tbe most awful
tortures, Ibtganto take Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Inside of twt months, I was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, my Umba

MONEY.
a 0.19.
The question of supply and de
mand is so closely connected with
the subject of money that it seems to
be in place to state the law of yalne
as depending upon supply and de
mand. The law is as follows : "Of
two quantities which may each vary
if we suppose the variation to take
place in one of them first, the other
remaining the same, its yalne wonld
be influenced by four causes.
It would inorease in value:
From a diminution of quantity; b,
From an increase of demand. - It
would diminish in value, c, From an
increase in quantity ; d, From a di
minution of demand,"
Now to see mow clearly what the
law means let the two quantities or
commodities be money and, cotton.
Then according to the law just
stated we have thejfollowing :
Money will increase in value;
1, From a diminution in quantity;
2, iTrom an increase of demand,
money will diminish is value; 3,
From an increase in quantity; 4,
From a diminution of demand, cot
will increase in value; 5, From a di
minution in quantity; 6, From an
increase of demand, cotton will
diminish in vslue; 7, From an In
crease of quantity; 8, From
diminution of demand.
Here we have four independent
causes affecting the value of money,
and four independent causes affect-
the yalne of cotton. There are
therefore eight independent causes
affecting the variations of values be
longing to the two commodities,
money and cotton, and as each one
of the four causes affectine the
value of money may occur in com
bination with each one of tbe four
causes affecting the value of cotton,
it follows, that there are, in all, six
teen ways in which the two values
maybe sffec ed. Numbering the
eight independent causes as above,
the sixteen ways in which they may
be combined are as follows, where
riese aud fall may be used to refer
to price or value;
1, money may rise, S, cotton may
rise; 1 money may rise, 6 cotton may
rise; 1, money may rise, 7, cotton may
fall; 1 money may rise, 8, cotton
may fall; 2, money may rise, 5, cot
ton may rise; 2, money may rise, 6,
cotton may rise; 2, money may
rise, 7, cotton may fall; 2, money
may rise, S, cotton may fall;
3, Money may fall, 5, cotton may
rise ; 3, money may fall, 6, cotton
may rise ; 3, money may fall, 7, cot
ton may fall ; 3, money may fall, 8,
cotton may fall; 4,money may tall, 5,
cotton may rise ; 4, money may fall,
6, cotton may rise ; 4, money may
fall, 7, cotton may fall ; 4, money
may full, 8, cotton may fall.
The numbers refer to the law as
stated aboye.
Now, if the reader will examine
carefully, he will find that there are
four ways in which there may be a
rise of price, four ways in which
the price may fall, and eight ways in
which it does not necessarily follow
that any change of price should take
place.
In 3 and 5, 3 and 6; 4 and 6; 4
and 6 money decreases and cotton in
creases in valuo, and consequently
there will be a rise in the price of
cotbn. In 1 and 7; 1 and 8; 2 and
7 ; 2 and 8, money increases in yalne
whilst cotton decreases, and conse.
quently the price of cotton must
fall. In 1 and 5 ; 1 and 6 ; 2 and 5 :
and 6 both money and cotton!
increase in value and oonesquently
it does not ' necessarily follow : that
the price of cotton would be affected.
In 3 and 7; 3 and 8; 4 and 7; 4
and 8, both cotton and money de
crease in value, and here a&ain it
does not necessarily follow that the
price of cotton should change. Thus
it is seen thnt there are four ways in
which the price of cotton may rise,
four ways in which it may fall, and
eight ways in which it may neither
rise nor fall. , It would lead ns into
a larger digression than would be
deshable to subject each of the eight
ways in which no rise of price might
take place to a careful analysis. If
the rise in the ylne of the money
were greater than the rise in tbe
value of cotton, tbe latter would
not fully compensate the former and
therefore the price of coton would
fall. If on the other band the rise
in the value of coltou were greater
than the rise in the value of money
then of course the price of cotton
wonld rise. It is only when the rise
or fall in the yalne of. the one is
equal to the rise or fall in the vdue
of the other that tbe price is not
affected.
Applying the law above stated to
our country, if the volume of money
were increased, and the volume of
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ADSOLUTEI.Y PURE
commodities Bot increased, prices
would rise. If, however, the amount
of commodities increased to the same
extent as the volume of money
there wonld be neither rise nor fall
of prices. If the amount ef com
modifies were increased more in pro
portion than the volume of money
increased, then prices woula fall.
If the volume of money were de
creased by the withdrawal of the
gold now in circulation and the
amount of commodities remained
the Bame as at present, then prices
ould fall. The fall of prices
wonld have the effect of diminishing
the arxouDt produced ;whicb would
cause a reaction in favor of a rise of
prices. This ' rise of prices would
act a stimulant to greater produc
tion which would increase the
amount of commodities 'and prices
would fall again.
If 500,000,000 dollars were added
to our money supply and the pro
duction of commodities was not in
creased, there would be a general
rise of prices. If production were
inoreased only to compensate in part
for the decreased value of the
money, prices would rise but not to
the same extent. If production
were stimulated so as to increase the
amount of commodities to such an
extent as to compensate for the in
crease in the yolume of money, there
would be nc rise in prices. If pro
duction should be stimulated so aa
to reach above the compensating line,
prices wonld fall. Satignt.

brother, they were investigated some
years ago when he and myself had
the suit, my entire innocence then
being proved to the satisfaction of
the legal authorities and the public.
The woman in question was the
housekeeper at the Keel Mine and
left here in the day time for New
York, and it can oe proved by a
gentleman of high standing there
that she was residing in that city for
ten years afterwards and then went
West, She wrote to Capt. Orchard,
asking my address, which he sent
her, and she wrote to me, asking me
to send her some money to bay a
sewing machine. I haye been told
that she wrote to Mrs. Elizabeth
Grose, widow of Samuel Grose, oi
your oity, asking her "what sort of a
woman I had married," etc.
I trust you will give this the same
publicity as yon did the slanderous
statement of your special corres
pondent, .
We nope to nnd some more goia
chains. Fobs, teeth and bunches of
gold hair will all be acceptable.
Anything of gold is what we are
after, and we shall be happy to find
it in any shape or form, for we are
goldbaes of the strictest type. I
haye instructed my lawyer, Mr. W G
Means, to get the deposition taken
of Cornelius YanCott, expostmaster
of New York City; Whitfield Van
Cott, clerk of tbe Jefferson Market
Police Court, and Gabrial VanCott,
and they will confirm eyery state
ment I have made in reference to
this matter and put a quietus on it
foreyer.
Meantime, I shall be right here,
ready to answer any charges that
may be made by the coaf usionist
conspirators who are engaged in en
oeayoring to make an exoitement
about the infamous lie that was
started by my brother. My being
an unflinching Democrat is - one
canse of their hostility.
I have no fear as to the result, as
it is only the guilty that run from
the law. 7 Very respectfully,
Rob est Uadd.
P. S. My brother had me bound
to the peace yesterday, and Dr.
Lisle very promptly and cheerfully
went onrny bond. . & G. -Reed

Prevails.
The big anditorium bnilding was
burned this afternoon. Tbe fire was
first discovered at 3:30 o'clock, and
very soon there was a blaze in that
locality that drew people from all
parts of the town. There are no
water pings on Church street within
a block of the auditorium, and there
was delay in getting streams from
Tryon street. When water did come,
the pressure was weak. The build

end before a stream was played on
it It was an immense structure
of pinewood frame, covered with tin
and sheeted with corrugated iron,
aud burned like tinder. Charlotte
News of the 16th.
A Happy Neg-ro.
A large farmer, of No. 2, was in
Wednesday with one of his colored
tenants. For seyeral years the col
ored man has just about made
enough to pay his rations bill with
out enough left to buy a pair of
shoes.
Last spring the colored man was
adv'sed to buy and eat on the
strength of 5 cent cotton. He did
so. On Wednesday he sold a lot of
cotton; he paid all of his year's ac
counts and obligations and had $29
left and the beauty of it all is the
colored man has four bales of cotton
yet to sell.
He's one of the happiest negroes
in the lani and he has something to
be happy on, too.
Likes That Kind of Tricks.
Cleveland has" bees
charged with, in addition to our
aches and pains, the fault of having
reduced the price -of cotton. One
Populist leader was saying to anoth
er Populist: "Cotton bringing 9
cents ia only a trick of Clev eland's
too fool us and stop the Ire.? oinage
growth etc." "Well," said the
Populist, "if that's the way Cleyeland
plays tricks put np the price of
cotton then he's my man and hid
party Is iry party." Tbe man came
right in, subscribed to The Stand
Abo, stating that he had stopped all
his Populist literature and connec
tions. REMAINS UNCONSCIOUS.
