EDENTON, N.C. Nov. 29th, 1895. THE EDITOR'S TRIP To the Great Cotton States and International Exposition. A Show Worth Seeing. A HRIKK DESCRIPTION Ol" TIIK BUHD IXC.S AND EXIIIHITS, AND Ol" ATLANTA, TH1-: HLSTI.INO CITY OK TIIK SOUTH. Having just returned from Atlanta, where we spent about a week at the Cotton States and International Exposition we will give our readers a few observa tions in regard to this, the great" est of all Southern Expositions. A visit to the Exposition will convince one that the exhibits are fully equal to the advertise ments and in many respect super ior. The Exposition is (so said by many) an almost complete re production of the World's Fair on a smaller scale. It is also .said that the Government exhib its and the exhibits in the for estry building are more varied and complete than they were at Chicago. The foreign exhibits, fourteen foreign countries being represented, are also especially fine. The Exposition grounds are situated just three miles from Union depot, Northeast from the city at Piedmont Park, on ground traversed by rifle pits, over which Sherman threw the first shell into Atlanta thirty one years ago. The grounds are laid-off beautifully, and in the enclosure tnere are about 400 acres. Near the cen tre is a beautiful crystal lake. On this lake boats are run for the pleasure and convenience of those who wish to go from one part of the grounds to another Surrounding this lake are plats of nrettv flowers, and green A. ' grasses, driveways and gravel walks, while dotted here and there are flowing fountains. The buildings are all large and commodious and attractive some of them are beautiful. At the main entrance stands the Administration building lrontiug 240 feet, 50 feet wide at centre, and three stories high This is occupied by the officers of the Exposition. The main tower and broad rotunda of this structure are suggestive of the old Tower of L,ondon, and its general style is that of an old bronial castle. There are no exhibits here, but the business of the Exposition is transacted in these rooms. Machinery Hall, 1 iS feet wide, 500 feet long and 60 feet high, is located near the Southern part of the grounds, fronting the lake and near Midway. Here are en gines of every description at work; large dynamos that give electrical current to the lights on and in the buildings, machinery in practical operation, weaving silk and cotton fabrics, making pins, corkscrews, etc., grinding eye-glasses, turning wood and making a thousand of other things. There are also a Ion.? line of other displays of special interest. The Mining and Forestry build ing is a rustic structure 350 feet long and 1 10 feet wide, and pre sents a most handsome appear- ance. In this building there is an extensive government exhib it of wood and mineral products, especially of the Southern States with object blocks of the relative quantities produced iu each State. The North Carolina ex hibit in this building is especial ly fine and will command the attention of capitalists and mining engineers all over the world. The roof of this build ing gives also a splendid view of the grounds. The Agricultural building, 304 feet long, 150 feet wide and no feet high to center of dome, is located just south of the en trance, Tiiisis one of the most interesting exhibits on the grounds. In this building are novel methods of cooking cereals, etc., and a large presentation of the products grown and minerals mined along the route of the Seaboard Air Line Here is a West Florida exhibit and a very fine display from Louisiana. The Fine Arts building is one of the most imposing and elegant structures on the grounds, with its columnar front. It is 245 feet long, 100 feet wide and 50 feet high, and in it there is an exhibit of paintings from the best artists, crayon penciling, etchings, statuary, etc. This building is just west of the U. S. Gov. building and fronts toward the East. The U. vS. Government build ing is located on a high bluff, near the Chimes Tower. Roman esque style. Has a floor area ot about 65,000 square feet. Here is a very fine exhibit of rare relics trom the State Department; a fine show of food fish in bril liantly lighted tanks. These fish were all caught along the coast of North Carolina anil taken from Morehead to Atlanta. There are also exhibits of great interest from the Navy, War and Inte rior Departments. Models of the ships of our navy from the beginning of the century to the present time, and a large torpedo boat belonging to some armored cruiser, are here exhibited; in fact, nearly everything that is connected with the U. S. govern ment is here shown. We regret that we havn't the space to give a more fuller description of this exhibit. One of the finest buildings on the grounds is the Manufactur ers and Liberal Arts, 206 feet wide, 356 feet long, and 90 feet high, with side and end galleries, including second and third sto nes in towers. In it are elegant exhibits from Britain, France, Germany, etc., fine statuary from Italy, fabrics from the mills of Europe and America, and a wide range ot industries from the South American Republics. Here can be seen a line of costl) it -t jewels, diamonds set m rings, pins, brooches, ear-rings, etc. This building is always crowded with ladies. W 1 T - t J - me Woman s building, 150 feet long, 128 feet deep and 90 feet to top of statue on central dome, was designed by a woman and is one of the most beautiful features. It is of classic design, in perfect harmony with the larger structures. The building is arranged for the display ol the work of woman, including a li brary for books written by wo men, their musical compositions and magazines, and patents and inventions by them. The artis tic work of women, paintings in 011, etcmngs, water colors, ar chitectual designs, sculpture and modeling in clay are all repre sented. Embroidery and plain and fancy sewing are represented, also ceramics and china painting The cooking school and kinder garten exhibit is also a notable feature. Iu the Transportation build ing are tne exhibits ot the sev eral styles of standard biccles, a fine display ot carriages, harness, Sec, the sections of the great railway and navigation lines,etc. The government post-office is located in this building.a branch of the Atlanta office, where let ters may be mailed, stamps pur chased, letters received, &c. This building is 1 50 feet wide, 450 long and 68 feet high, with two end galleries 48 by 117 feet. The Electrical building is strikingly interesting in its ex hibit of the great electrical in ventions of this wonderful age of electrical science. Here are dynamos and motors, great and little, and all the varied appli ances connected with the several uses to which electricity is ap . plied. This building is 262 feet long, S5 feet wide and 109 feet to center of dome. The Negro building is 276 feet long, 1 1 2 feet wide and 70 feet high, and is a handsome struc ture. Every visitor will be in terested in the exhibits shown in this department, as evidences ot the growing skill, advancing intelligence and promotive in dustry of the coiored race. The attendants are all colored men and women. The exhibits are numerous and handsome, and there is an attractive neatness here that is very commendable. The Fire building is 205 feet long, 50 feet broad and two stories high. This structure is quite handsome, and thoroughly supplied with the best apparatus that has been devised up to date. The Auditorium building is directly in front of the main en trance, is 200 leet long, 135 feet deep and four stories high; is in amphitheatre style and seats over 3,000. It has a large music dias and the acoustics are most ex cellent. The concert entertain ments, afternoon and evening, are given iu the building by the Exposition Orchestra. It was our pleasure while there to hear the great Sousa Band. The po lice headquarters are also in this building. Iu addition to the above build ings there are a number of State buildings, and other structures of interest. On Midway nearly every na tion of people in the world can be seen. The side-shows and other attractions are numerous and amusing. The buildings here are also large aud attractive. The Exposition not only rep resents Southern enterprise and development, but it is interna tional as its name implies. The accommodations at the Exposition are ample, convenient aud cheap. The Southern Rail way runs trams from the city to the grounds aud returns every seven minutes during the clay at ten cents each way. The street railway also inns "cars to and Trum the city at live cents. Very fair board and lodging can be obtained iu Atlanta at from $1.00 or $2.00 per day. The people are exceedingly kind and attentive aud are doing all in their power to make i: pleas ant for those who attend the Exposition. Atlanta is a hustling city. There is more activity and push in Atlanta than iu any other Southern city. It is second in size of all Southern cities -New Orleans being the largest. There are over 1 10,000 inhabitants by actual count. The population has more than doubled during the last ten years. The town is just sixty years old. Fifty years ago there was only one street (Whitehall, the leading business street in the city now) and a few country stores. Thirty years ago Atlanta was in ashes. For rapid development it now leads all the cities ct the South. It is also a great railroad centre. As a place of residence it is very fine; in fact, we have never seen a more beautiful town anywhere. The situation is high, dry and healthful, and the climate salu brious. Our trip to Atlanta and the Exposition was exceedingly pleas.mt.. and we advise all those who can, to go and see the South 's greatest achievement. While in Atlanta Stop at the sbum.
