With the most lmproastve ceremonlea thai
have yet marked the progress ot th Cottol
Btat Exposition,' the hlatorla old, tlberty
Bull was on Wednesday formerly placed In
eharx ot the Atlanta authorities, tho
emonles took place on the broad stair load
ing np to the stately Pennsylvania Bunding,
the handsomest Is the beautiful park and oil
the moat attractive site. , The day wa full ai
Incidents, some of them ot a striking charac
ter, but the most significant w4 th declar
ation of sympathy with the cause of Cuba,
made with dramatic effect by both Governor,
Atkinson, of Georgia, and Mayor Warwick,
ot Pennsylvania, both ot whom aroused wild
enthusiasm from the great crowd that heard
them." . .
: Again Ms-there a dramatio scene When
Mayor Warwick, in the eourse ot his bril
liant oration, turned tor Miss Eleanor War
ren Marshall, who was on the platform, and
bending gracefully over her hand, , intro
duced her as the great-granddaughter of the
Illustrious Supreme Court Justice at whose
funeral the venerated relic had tolled for the
last time. Miss Marshall, in a strikingly
handsome gown i looked vory pretty. She is
a brunette.' slender and graceful, ana net
great black eye Blled with tears, and she
trembled with emotion a Philadelphia's
mayor paid her the most graceful compll
ment ever paid in publlo to a young woman.
H eloquently tbanked Miss Marshall tot
the nrlviledge Of greeting the descendant ot
so illustrious a man and declared that th
emotion that tilled his breast at that moment
would never be forgotten; that he would tell
bis children of the honor bestowed Upon
him and bid them cherish the memory ot this
day to the end ot tbeir lives.
: Fully 80,01)0 people were on band as the
bell wusmoorted to its rjstlng place at Pied
mont Pafli, more than one-third ot th num
ber being children. The publlo school
closed in; honor of the bell. The special
military escort was the famous Fifth Begi
ment U. S. Infantry, until recently the
fighting command of General Nelson A.
Miles. Governor Atkinson and his stall
earn next, and then came the Fifth Begi
meot Georgia National Guards, 600 strong;
the Atlanta Artillery and the crack Gover
nor's Horse Guards, composed of the very
Bower of Georgia's young manhood. Fol
lowing the military pagaent was long
string of open carriages, - containing th
mayor' of Philadelphia and Atlanta, th
eouncllmen's escort . from ' th Quaker
City and the local council and reception eom
mittee that included many ot Atlanta's most
prominent professional and business men.
. At the Pennsylvania building the bell was
baited, and, on its car, stood at the foot ot
the stairway during the progress ot the cere
monies. The school children sad Gllmore'S
Band were massed on the broad porches ot
the building, while on th platform the
orator and distinguished : guests occupied
seats. With them wer manyot Georgia's
moat beautiful maids and matrons. The
front of tn building was crowded with State
and national colors and flags floated from
every staff in sight. ' ..i: s. -,t
i Several thousand school children - sang
"My country, 'tis thee,'' accomnanled by
Gilmore's band. Mayor Potter king in
forcible speech formally welcomed the bell,
and Mayor Warwick responded. -t .
He said In park "The lesson that is tsnght

A Contract of the "Old South" With
the "New." Her Industrial Future
Very Bright,
i "The South", is a very large ex
tjrcsslon.and progress in the South in
dicates a movement distributed over
many states not at all alike, either in
natural advantages or lately acquired
enterprise. Some- parte of the South
are still very backward, While others
have madeadvaneesof late year which
it would be diffloult to find excelled in
any other section of the country. Peo
ple have become familiar with the
rapidly increasing production of the
great agricultural staple ot the South.
Between 1880 and 1885 the crop kept
within 6,000,000 balds, by 1886 it was
6,500,000 bales, nd by 1889 close on
to : 7,000,000.. The maximum -vat
thought to have been reached when the
erop of 1890 exoeeded ,7.800,000 bales,
but that was thrown into the shade
w hen the extraordinary crop of. last
year shotreda total of nearly 9,500,000
bales. The present year's crop will
be Very far short of this in quantity,
though thanks to the advanced price,
its value may be as great. In the
natural, order ot things, the crop of
1894 will not stand long without &
rival. When Texas grows more cotton
than all the South did before the war
and she is still at the beginning of her ;
agricultural development, the cotton
producing possibilities of the South
are very far from being exhausted. :
,Side by side with the growth of what
used to be the only source of Southern
wealth- there has been growing up a
more diversified agriculture and the
beginning of wide range of manu
facture. It is characteristic of the
new spirit of the South that the cotton
eed oil industry ie the growth of the
period since tho war. A ' product
which was reokoned useloss iu 1850
figured in 1890 as having a value,after
treatment in the mills, of $25,b'34,000,
aid ia today the bais of uu investment
in building aud machinery of $10,000,-.
OOO.i in 1880 the whole South pro
duced only 143,000,000 bushels of
grain, last year tho yield was 600,000,-
000 Tho number of tons of coal
mined in 1880 was but little, over
6,000,000, while l89iiL-r 80,000,-
000. The output of pig iron in the
South id 1880 was 197,a00 ton and
in 1894 1,560,000 tons. The value of
the product of the sawed and planed
lumber, which in 1880 was $46,938,000,
had risenin 1894 to $114,746,674. The
true value of Southern property ac
cording to the census returns of 1880,
was $7,941,000,000; last year it was
estimated at 57 per cent more. '
There are to-day some $800,000,000
invested In manufacturing- enterprises
n the South, with an estimated annual
value of product of 5i,uuu,WH),0U(i.
Of the former, about $108,000,000 is
invested in ootton mills, or five times
as much as in 1880,and some $93, 000,
000 is invested in lumber mills. A
reoent writer on the South remarked
that with the possession of all the raw
materials entering into manufactures,
with oheap labor and cost of living, the
Industrial future of the 8onth should
be of the brightest But the fact that
these resources remained so long un
developed and are now coming so fully
into evidence argues a change in the
spirit of the people more significant
than - the inexhaustible h bounty- - of
nature. ' No one at all familiar with
the old South can fail to be struck with.
the ' resolution with wbicb the men,
whom the! war left penniless, set them
selves to repair their wasted fortunes.
While there were many that succumb
ed to the struggle, as well as many
that surmounted it they have, as a
rale, left there some much better fit "
ted for the competition of modern life
than they were themselves.' The rapid
acceleration of Southern progress may
be due partly to an infusion of North
era energy, but it is mainly the work
of Southerner who were too young to
know anything of the war or its pas
sions, or who were born after Its close.
In the hands of this generation the
South has taken it first great stride of
real progress,
