Tha Cotton States and Interna tional Exposition is grand in its conception, a credit -to the South and a pride to its management. To everyone, whether from the Souna or tbe-North, the East or the Weat, the Expositjon 4s tne most tty reeaofe of 'surprises and a ' happy ditppotntinent. . But few nave .Tmcd a1 jusi idea ofiU scope, extent nd greatness. With -this idea they , only to have suddenly thrust upon them a reality far surpassing -expectations -this is indeed pleasant; What nature failed to do human skill and taste finished in making f - - - the grounds. 186"ac'res,"peautjf ul and editable for. the great exposition, : Some twenty -fi ire 1 houses, sub stahtially coEstructe'd and in modern architecture and W number of them larger than Mill of the Odell Manufacturing J Company, eeryes to house the 'thousands of exhibits the work of Southern men and women and the work of the world not only of today but of ages past. .North Carolina has no building, 1) j t evidences of her existence and activity in ail walks of life ' are to feeseen. The Southern !Rail way Co., ha3 done much for the Old North State. In the Southern Company's fcuildiug there are many exhibits from North CaroliLa In here Bill Kye's razor baefc hofl is. Somehow or other, were the hog not labelled one would naturally Uhih.k of the humorist, anyway. The Yadkin Sfalls has a splendid advertisement fby a painting in this building; it is by Mrs. Jennie Kluttz, of Albemarle, -and while not true to life it is so near like it and so well executed that one is naturally delighted to see it there on the walls We don't mean to write up the TExpdsitio'n We couldn't if we wanted to. Oar space is too limited, tthe exhibits too grand and numer ous, and our ahility too limited for justice to be done. We were peculiarly delighted to .hear many complimentary expres 3icqs by Northern fols. They were surprised, "delighted and ez p r essed themsel ves "glad that tbe South was a part of this grand Union. Theysaid it was equal to Chicago World's Tair, not in size, of coarse, but in the variety of ex "hlbits. ' . ' The Cotton State3 Exposition is Jthe cabinet size portrait of tho ex- exactly. ybaiJdiDg containing old relies was one fdU of interest;' "The tender feelings manifested Southerners in looking upon the old Confederate relics, seemed to be shared by the Northern man standing by their sides he smelt the smoke of. the battle. He hung around the exhibits and looked with tender interest at the cradle in which Jeff Davis was rocked, his wife's wedding dress, the torn arid'burnt suit of gray as it lay silent but oringing to mind many, many startling events, ' Here, too, are sqowu tne inventions oi - . i. , - - s i Southern women, when the men were away at war. Bat we hurry on. Georgia and Florida were great rivals in the extent and arrange ment of tfieir exhibits. Machinery Hall was superb, ' as were all the i other buildings and exbibts. Don't say anything abont Mid way Heights! Don't tell whatTydu saw or heard 1 Iiet all' that be an j untold 8t6ry. The Fhoehix Wheel (caught the hervyA the rest preferrVd to look on and hot go in The man that touches the button, and sees that the button is alright io the great system of 200,000 electric lights on the grounds, is none other tnan oar own Billy Caldwell, That the management is well satisfied with the lighting of the grounds and buildings, is enough to tell how Mr, Oaldweir is filling his important position. A large lake is in the centre of the grounds and if nature didnH. make this lake, cn whose bosom boats ' are continuously playing, human hands rivalled the works of nature. The negro building is - not Jess interesting than any other. Its exhI bits are a splendid commentary upon the progress the colored people are making. It is gratifying and enn couraging not only to the colored people but to their white neighbors'. This is no attempt at a write-upi it is only a feeble recognition of tbe Great Exposition, which is doing immense. things for the South in the eyes of others and making Southern people themselves know more of eacli otherand see themselves as others see them. . ' L; :i u'1' That's a pretty picture. The North and the South side by side in person, in feelings, in peace, in ex hibits, in good wishes. May the picture come out brighter and brighter as the days pass. As a side line, we wish to say that the jail on exhibit there is all o. kl Atlanta needs it fw its "Will Myers; CabarrnB needs it for its Dr:, Whites and its imaginary mobs. It keeps them m and it keeps them bijt. A splendid ideal 't While the "Exposition is a crand enccess, equal to the expectation of its fondest friends, much is due to th'e liberaii ty and'prd'mptness of the railroads. The Southern railway has acquitted itself "nobly. It is equal to the emergency. It handles with great ease and; comfort arid promptness the thousands 5 thai are entering and leaying Atlahta; daily. All this is as much an atiyer tisement'for the Southern railway as for Atlanta, The company;- in touch with the progress and material gro w th of the country, made" rates ; and joined in the' movement" calcu late x to develop, at even a greater epeed, the resources of this country. So much pleasure, profit and com1 fort cannot be hadelsewhere for the! same small amount, as a trip to the liveand fare ascomf ortably in At- lanSSthS fskme faQhnt raV ou X can an Salistfry -or1 lOharldttw i -. f . m '.LI.

This is ufficTenf. "Mrs. ' Talm8ge;and her obliging and courteous associate, Mr. Ed Calloway ,' br a long time of the Kimball, make the;r house a home, pleasant and deligjitful. It's not an Exposition hotel, but one of permanent existence, ' The Exposition bas deserved its existence it naa don a eat work, and "well may the South and Atlanta feel proud fdreyer. TABLETS AT 50 CENTS ON THtf While in Atlanta recently and in the company of governor Atkinson, of Qeotgia, himself we Jbeljeve, a great admirer o f the whjte nietaj, we (el t. grieved that the governor failed to ask about Dr. Joe Goodman, late of Georgia.

Too bad, our trfp to the Capi tol all for nothing, or tless. From many appearances, it looks like Hon. R B Glenn will turn evani geligt.
