It I'romlws to lie One or t'.m FtneHt Ei 2HitlunM Kver II1(. At the point where Sherman thun ilered on Atlanta thirty-one 3-ears ago the Cotton States and International exposition is fast taking- shape, and by the 18th of September will have assumed proportions second to none in interna tional enterprises of this character, ex cepting only the World's Columbian ex position of lSUiJ. This enterprise marks a turning point in the history of the southern states. It is not by any means a local or provincial affair, and the term cottou states would be entirely too narrow a designation, if not accompanied by the broader word international, which truly describes the ambitious enter prise. It was first proposed to call it the "Pan-American" exposition, but even the western hemisphere would not measure its scope. The exposition has received the in dorsement of the United States-government, congress having1 appropriated $2011.000 for a government building' and exhibit. An eligible site has been as signed for this building, which will be one of the linest structures on the grounds. The practical experience of the board having this exhibit in charge will make it the most comprehensive and interesting ever made by the United States government. The exposition has also received the indorsement of the legislatures and principal commercial bodies of all of the southern states, and reasonable as surance has been given that many of them will be represented by state build ings and exhibits. Uesides several exhibits announced from the southern republics, most of which are likely to be represented, the management is already assured of two exhibits from Africa, and, though the invitations to European powers have just gone out, the reports already sent home by consular representatives of European governments have been wide ly circulated by commercial journals, and through tins channel the expo sition is already attracting attention on the continent. GOVERNMENT BUILDING. Architecturally Far More llaii(toiuo Than the I'hicatro Structure. The Government building will be of frame const miction, covered on the ex terior with shingles and clapboards and designed with a Romanesque motif. Its main dimensions will be 180 by '2(50 feet, with projecting pavilions 10 feet by CO feet in plan on all four sides, and circular towers 25 feet in diameter at each corner of the building, making a total floor area of about 50,000 square feet. A cruciform clere story CO feet in width increases the height of the structure to Vi feet and produces the effect of a two-story building, and also assists in lighting and ventilating the interior. At the intersection of these elere story wings and rising to a height of 105 feet will be constructed a tur-t-cted tower, having at its apex a plat form for the exposure of instruments of the weather bureau. The government exhibit will be ar ranged b- a commission composed of gentlemen selected from each depart ment because of their special fitness and experience in exposition work. An electric searchlight and a time ball will be op. rated by the navy depart ment at conspicuous points on the roof. Tl.o nrio-inal desisrn for the Govern ment, buildiu'- has been enlarged by 4i. o).i;ti, of an annex, which is to be 140 by SO feet. This will materially increase" the space and proportionately expand the exhibit. OTHER BUILDINGS, All Will lie Attractive, and Some or Th.ro. Ueally Grand. In addition to the Government build ing, plans have been accepted and work commenced on the following: Manufactures and Liberal Arts.

The designs which have been submitted so far are of classic style, a two-story building opening with a portico and high Tuscan columns. Through this colonnade the entrance ? to the Auditorium is effected. This hall will seat about three thousand five hundred people, and here the different congresses and conventions, many of which have been arranged for, will be held. Upstairs elaborate provision will be made for all the departments of ad ministration. THE FIRE AND I'OLICK BUILDING. Plans have been ordered for a build ing to accommodate the fire and police departments. This will be a handsome structure, thorougldy supplied with the bst apparatus that has ever been j i .... ,lMt For fire Drotection rtmewellfire alarm of the most ....

Hundreds of fire extin guishers will be scattered through the buildings, and in addition a number of two-wheeled trucks will be placed in the buildings to do quick work before i the heavier apparatus can arrive. I The exhibit of fire apparatus will j have ample space in this build j ing, and the chief of the department i has already secured creditable exhibits covering about twenty thousand square i feet. j The police department will be thor oughly equipped and manned with the best material to be'had. It will be or I ganized by the chief of the Atlanta po j lice, under the direction of the chair I man of the police commission, who is j also chairman of the executive coinmit i tee of the exposition. ! MACHIN'KKY HALL. j The leading idea throughout the j buildings is Romanesque. They are de signed with an idea of stability and simplicity of construction. Take the Machinery building, for instance: That, in its interior construction, is a simple cube, so designed a to give a great deal of space inside, its exterior finish having a touch of the renaissance. On eacli end, at the sides and in the cen ter, there are large porticos with im mense pillars, which will give the en tire building a stately appearance. It is the aim to construct a building whose size will not be .apparent at first, but which will grow on the observer. That building will be sixty-five feet high. MANUFACTURES AND LIBERAL ARTS. Tin Manufactures and Liberal Arts building carries out the same Roman tsque idea, but is considerably more elaborate. In the Agricultural build ing the idea is carried out in a sort of pyramidal shape. The Electricity building has towers and arches which can be brilliantly illuminated; and lo cated, as it will be, at the foot of the lake, a great light effect can be secured. The towers at the corners of the Manu factures building are very large, and can be used for restaurant purposes, or anything of the sort. The broad out side corridor on the second story of this building can also be used to magnifi cent advantage for restaurant purposes. FORESTRY" AND MINERALS. The building designed for Forestry and Minerals is to be erected of natural wood, embracing all the foliage found in the south, and it is proposed to fes toon the entire interior at the ceiling line with southern moss and greens. The spaces between the principal posts and braces, which are themselves formed of natural trees, will be covered with bark, thus forming a most unique design, covering an area of 28,000 square feet, while a roof promenade or garden, of the same area, is also provided, the entire sides of which will be formed of palms and palmettos. An enormous fountain adorns the cent ml portion of the building, the background of which is formed of minerals from all sections of the south. The Transportation building will cov er an area of 55,000 square fo. and is conveniently located for the installa tion of the heavy exhibits proposed for this building. THE WOMAN'S BUILDING. A Woman's building, designed by a woman, will be one of the most beauti ful features. As the larger buildings are of Romanesque motif, it is proposed to have for the Woman's building a .vrl.i:.l desicm. which will harmonize and hold its own with the larger struc tures. The building will be arranged for the work of women, including a library for the books written by women, their musical compositions and maga zines. Patents and inventions by women will have promiiicnt positions in the Woman's building, with all other notable exhibits of woman's genius and skill. The artistic work of women is PSTweiallv desired. Paintings in oils, etchings," water colors, architectural disitrns. sculDture and modeling in clay are invited from the United States and foreign countries. FINK ARTS. The Fine Art building will be located toward the southwest corner of the nark, on the summit of a small hill sit uated between the Manufactures budd ing on the north and the Casino on the Koutb. The elevation of the site will be such that the building will command view of the entire PTonnds. It will hare a frontage of 245 feet with a depth of 100 feet. The center part of front facade will be 50 feet high, and the two side winjrs will be 20 feet higb. The exterior has been desicrned after the renaissance, and the ir,cade of the cen tral hall recalls the stately old southern mansions of former davs. The columns forming the colonnade on the east and west front are 3 fet in diameter and 85 feet long, fluted, and having- capitals designed in the Italian renaissance. In fact all the ornamentation throughout the entire building is in Italian re naissance, slightly tending tO'the Flor entine school. T1IK NEGRO HU1LJJING. The management is under contract to provide a building for a distinctive negro exhibit, not less than 100x250 feet, and commissioners have been ap pointed from among the leading col ored men in each state to take charge of the work of collecting and presenting- for inspection by the public, in that building, the best work of the negro i every department of labor, and show ing the progress made in education and the industrial pursuits since his eman cipation. The mutual benefit to the negro and the white people of the coun try of this feature of the exposition will be apparent to everyone. TOBACCO TRADE BUILDING. The tobacco producers, manufactur ers and dealers of the country are de manding a fitting display of that stu pendous industry, and plans are well under way for a special building in which to show, as never before done, the cultivation, curing, marketing and manufacturing of tobacco and its prod ucts, in all its forms and stages. SPECIAL BUILDIJTGS. Provision is being made for suitable music and lecture halls, and for the ex hibition of live stock, dairy products, etc., with all necessary power houses, pumping works, lighting plant, etc. GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT. Tbe Various Department at Washing-ton to Be Represented. The state department will make an exhibit divided into two groups the history of the United States and the workings of the departmant. Such rare documents as the Declaration of Independence, in f ac-simile, and treaties with foreign powers are to be shown. The department of the interior will be represented in the various branches. The United States fish commission will be able to make a particularly fine dis- BIRD'S EYE VIEW OP COTTON STATES AND INTERNATIONAL EXPOSlTTOlfcf play, as Atlanta Is" favorably situated with reference to the sources of supply for marine and fresh water fish and other animals, as well as plants. The beautiful tropical and subtropical fishes of the Gulf of Mexico can be readily obtained and as easily kept in perfect condition during the exposition. Com missioner McDonald has decided to make a special effort to show the im portant game and food fishes of the south, and many ol the curious nsnes which invariably excite the wonder and admiration of visitors. The waters about Key West and Tampa abound in angel fishes, parrot fishes, trunk fishes and brilliant but voracious-looking inorays, rabbit fish, porcupine fish, the sea bats, the trigger fishes and some of the cramp fishes which can give a very decided electric shock. The red drum, the tarpon, the showy porgies, the sheepshead. the squirrel fish, the red snapper but the wealth of beauti ful and curiously-shaped nsnes is so great that their names would fill a column. The forestry exhibit will be the most comnlete and comprehensive exhibition of the flora of the south ever gathered together. The exhibits of the navy and war departments will be fully equal to those made at Chicago. MUSICAL FEATURES. No Kxpens. WU1 Be Spared to Make Them Perfect. The finest orchestras of America have already been engaged for the exposition. It is the policy of this department to secure in succession a number of the most celebrated musical organizations. Gilmore, Sousa, and Inn is' bands have been engaged. A succession of attract ive musical programmes is in prepara tion, and some magnificent spectacular accompaniments will be produced. Under this head will come the chime of belbi the largest ever erected in America. A tower many feet high will be erected on. the highest point of the grounds, near the Government building and Art palace, for the accommodation of the largest chime of bells ever ex hibited in America. A full chime of thirteen bells will be placed on the top of this tower, and their sweet melody will be heard echoing through the hills of middle Georgia for miles around. AMUSEMENT FEATURES. Tha Fair WlU, of Coarse. Bare a FoU- Fled Midway. The Midway Plaisanoe is to be re peated here with many additions and improvements. Hagenbeck is coming with his animal show; there is to be a Cairo village, Chinese and Japanese villages, a German village, a Mexican village, a Guatemala village and sev- eral other ethnographical exhibits that were not seen at Chicago. The amuse ment features are to be more extensive, also, than they ?ere at Chicago, with plenty of music and motion and merri ment. Concessions which are not easily reg- ulated and upon which the percentages would be difficult to collect are to be sold outright at auction, with a mini mym price and a space rental for the nuWber of square feet occupied, while; the percentage plan is to be applied 6nl to such as charge an admission fee.' The soda water fountains are charged 1,000 each, ;md the sausa;e and coffee pavilions the same. The pop corn and peanut venders must pay at least $."i00 each; the confectionery stands the same; souvenir spoons, $.:r) for each stand; hot wattles and griddle cakes the same; canes and chewing gum, 8250 each, and others in proportion. No space is free. Every exhibitor is charged $1 a square foot for the area he occupies and pays 6 cents a hundred weight for terminal charges; but there is no restriction upon the sale of mer- chandise for delivery at the close of the exposition or by sample is in progress. STATE EXHIBITS. while it Will Be One of the Leading- Features of the Great Show. The state exhibits will constitute one of the most important and interesting features of the great fair. Prominent among those will be the Georgia ex hibit, installed in a handsome building near the Fourteenth street entrance. Near by will be another of Florida Florida covering a large space. The Florida exhibit, besides embracing dis plays of all the products of the state in detail, will be employed for unique ex hibits of the great railroad systems penetrating the peninsula. The Plant system, for example, will erect a pyra mid one hundred feet square at the base and fifty feet high. The Flagler system will be handsomely represented with special exhibitions, as will also the Louisville & Nashville and the Jack sonville, Tampa & Key West railroads. South Carolina will furnish one of the best and most attractive of the state exhibits. This will not be done with state funds, but very efficiently by private means, raised through a very thorough organization extending to all the counties. The Commercial club of Charleston began the movement, and he governor has cooperated by ap- polnting commissioners In every county. A similar movement is in progress in Alabama, and funds are being raised in all of the best counties for exposition purposes. A state exhibit will be made, and the massive deposits of iron, coal and other varied minerals, together with the vast forest wealth and the vast agricultural resources of Alabama, 1 will fully appear. North Carolina lias practically intact the material of her exhibit at the world's fair, packed in handsome oak cases, which have thoroughly protected the specimens. By adding new sam ples of agricultural and other products of a perishable nature, this exhibit can be perfected and transferred to Atlanta with very small cost, and this will doubtless be done, as the matter, which is now before the legislature, has re ceived the indorsement of the governor, the state board of agriculture and all the leading members of all three of the political parties. North Carolina can make a fisheries exhibit only second in importance to that of the United States government. The importance of this resource may be imagined from the fact that the largest seine in the world is operated on the North Carolina coast. It is two miles long. The ends are towed out into the bay on steam flats, and hauled back in the same manner, bringing in at a single haul thousands or even millions of fish. The legislature of Louisiana at its session last summer adopted a joint res olution, instructing executive officers to make at this exposition an elaborate exhibit of the products and resources of the state, and it goes without saying that a very handsome display will be brought here. Movements for exhibits have been made in Illinois, Tennessee, Pennsyl vania and New Mexico. The commissioner of mines, manu factures and agriculture, of Arkansas, has applied for large space in which to i make a liberal exhibit of that state, and I writes the exposition management that the Arkansas display will compare well with those of other States. The movement for an exhibit from California was begun sometime ago, and the chambers of commerce and boards of trade of the different cities have arranged to supply the material. A company has been formed which wid install exhibits in a building of the Old Mission type of architecture. It is ex pected that this will be one of the handsomest buildings on the grounds. The Southern Railway system will make one of the handsomest exhibits on the grounds. At the reouest of that company the supervising architect ot the exposition has prepared plaas for an exhibition building, classical in style nd imposing in its proportions, and it Is said that this structure will be one of the most beautiful on the grounds. The management of the Southern railway promises that this exhibit will be in every way worthy of the occasion. TRANSPORTATION, Arran cements for Rednceit Rate Alr.aay Cotir-'eted. The department of transportation has been organized with a veteran railroad manager at its head, and arrangement have been practically completed with the transportation lines of the United States, Canada-and Mexico to bring exhibits and visitors to Atlanta at rea sonably low rates. Exhibits which pay full freight coming and remain unsold will bo returned free of charge. Throughout a large part of the United States a rate of one cent per mile each way will be put on, and it is probable that from the most distant points the rate will not exceed one fare for the round trip. Liberal concessions have been made by the ocean steamship companies, em bracing a number of the trans-Atlantic lines plying between New York, Balti more and the ports of England and the continent of Europe. The Pacific Mail Steaiushlp company has agreed to trans fer free of charge all exhibits from points in South and Central America reached by its lines, and will make lib eral reduction in fares to government officials or other visitors from those countries. EXPOSITION SITE. Emt of Acceea from All Farts of Pre- jrresslve Atlanta. Piedmont Park, located two miles from the Union depot (the center of the city), has been adopted as the site for the exposition. More than $300,000 has already been expended in heightening the varied and interesting landscape, and 1150,000 more will be expended by the management of the exposition in further projected improvements, which will make the already beautiful grounds an artistic triumph of landscape archi tecture. Great inland lakes twenty acres in area have been constructed, and with few exceptions all the build ings will have water frontage. On these lakes electric launches and gon dolas will play, affording an agreeable mode of transit from one part of the extensive grounds to another. The Atlanta Exposition will be some thing that no one can afford to miss. CUSTOMS ARRANGEMENTS. Foreign Exhibitors and Their Interests Well Protected. By act of congress foreign exhibits will be admitted to this country free of duty, if unsold, and the exposition grounds and buildings will constitute 'Urn MBS. JOSEPH THOMPSON. IPresldent Board of Lady Manager a bonded warehouse for such goods. In case exhibits or duplicates of exhibits of imported goods are sold, customs officers, wdth offices on the grounds, will be on hand to collect the duty and re lease the goods without delay. The leading transportation lines are bonded from the principal ports to At lanta, so that exhibits coming from abroad will come m bond to Atlanta, be installed, and remain in bond until they have been returned from whence they came. The Southern railway is bonded from Atlanta to New York and Brunswick; the Seaboard Air Line from Atlanta to Norfolk and Balti more, and the Central and South Caro lina railroads in connection are bonded from Atlanta to Charleston and Savannah. The Southern Pacific lines bonded from San Francisco to At lanta. St 1(H) heward. $100.

Atlanta ia a city of one hundred and ten thousand people, and the calcula tion is that on great days she will have to take care of that many more. The committee in charge of public eomfort, after careful consideration, has de cided to adopt the system which was operated with such auoceAs at Phila- CHAS. A. COLLIER. President and Direr tor-General. delphla during the centennial. The control of this business will be held by the Exposition company, and not let as a concession, as at Chicago, where a charge was made for parties listing rooms. At Atlanta absolutely no charge will bo made either to hotels, boarding houses, residents or visitors for this service. An elaborate canvass is being made of the city and the suburbs, and every available room will be registered. The same work will be carried through the outlying towns for a distance of thirty or forty miles, and commutation tickets will be put on by all of the roads, so that visitors seeing the fair during the day will be able to get out in the evening and return early the next morning. This will materially expand Atlanta's surface for accommo dating visitors. All this information will be tabulated and sent broadcast over the country, and visitors from a dis tance will be encouraged to engage quarters in advance. In this way much of the work of public comfort will be done before the exosition opens. During the exposition the pub lic comfort headquarters will be opened at some central point in the city, and active and experienced men will be placed in charge. A corps of messengers will be constantly in wait ing, and every house on the list will be visited twice a day and every vacant room will be reported. The managers of the bureau will be able to tell at any time exactly how many rooms are open, and in what locality. In short, the public comfort bureau will run the city very mi: h as a hotel is run, only bicycle i i ..,.;engers will take the place of bellboys. A FERTILE SECTION. The Piedmont Keglnn and the lireat Cot ton States. Atlanta is the center of the unsur passed agricultural and mineral quad rilateral forming the southeastern sec tion of the Union. Within a radius of 100 miles of Atlanta there is a greater variety, and in some instances a greater abundance of minerals, than can be found so near any other city in this country, if not in the world, and the whole territory contiguous to Atlanta is richer in variety and extent of min erals, woods and agricultural products than any on the continent. The region from which the Cotton States exposition takes its name is one of the most fertile and productive in the world. Its farm products ejual in value the entire : ports of the United States, and its manufactures, now in their infancy, are sufficient to pay for all the imports into the country. This great region, stretching from the At lantic to the Mississippi, and from the Potomac to the Rio Crande, has more seacoast than any eountry in Europe, and several times more than any other geographical division of the United States. While thus it is broadly in touch with the world by water, its in land transportation is excellent and ex tensive. The Mississippi river, which, with its tributaries, affords 45,000 miles of navigation, equal to one-fourth of the railway mileage of the United States, finds its greatest usefulness and heaviest traffic in the cotton region. The Ohio, the Tennessee, the Ocmul- gee, the Cumberland and the Coosa, the Arkansas, the Alabama, the Chatta hoochee and the Savannah, and a num ber of minor streams, play a large part in the traffic of the southern states; coupled with this is a railway service far beyond the limits of jiopulation in efficiency, offering fares and freights lower, in proportion to the volume of traffic, than in any other country. CAPABLY MANAGED. The Olractor General Ilaa Al In. limited Authority. There is a small board o'f directors. who meet daily, and the authority of I Mr. Collier, the director general, is al most unlimited. The committee on finance control expenditures and audit I their own bills. Mr. Collier is a bank ; president and a young man of great 1 force and executive ability, and is as- sisted by the leading business men of , Atlanta. Authority is more centralized ; than it was in the Chicago organiza-: tion, and there is not nearly as much circumlocution or red tape. Iach branch is under the control of an indi-: vidual, who has final power. The department of publicity and pro motion is in charge of Mr. W. O. Cooper, an experienced newspaper man, who understands his business and is al lowed much latitude. While in Topeka lat March, K. T. Barber, a prominent newspaper man of La CyRne, Kan., was taken with cholera morbus verv severely, liie night cleric at the hotel where he was stopping haj.jKned to have a bottle of Clianiterlain'H Colic, Cholera and Diarrho-a lieuiedy and gave him three doses which relieved him and he thinks saved hi life. Kvery family should keep this remedy in their homes at all time. No one can tell how soon it may be needed. It costs but a trifle and may be the means of saving much suffering and perhaps the life of some member of the family. 25 ar-d 50 cent bottle for sale by Melville Dorsey, druggist.
