THE COTTON STATES EXPOSITION.
In the days of the old Roman
Empire it was triumphantly pro
claimed and which became an
adage, that, "All roads lead to
Rome." Now it is, "All roads
lead to Atlanta' That this is
true, needs only investigation for
verification. While you would
probably not believe it yet it is
true. While you would reckless
ly not believe, that is another
question. The Cotton States and
International Exposition is a
success. It is a grandisiuio. The
grandest of the grand. To com
pare it to the World's Fair at
Chicago is like comparing the
country Squire who became a
Judge to his sou who came to be
from a congressman to be a lead
er in the United States Senate.
This simile for politics But to
bring it more directly in line in
comparison to the understanding
of one who has not seen the world
and who is to the manor born in
the South, it is the grandest
State Fair, after the biggest
County Fair, ever held in the
State. It is more than, "one
grand sweet song." It is the
song and the dream. The dream
of the song realized. You go
there, you see it. You come away
and wish you were there again.
It is all in a life time and only in
a life time such as we enjoy these
latter lith century days that such
can or has been seen. When our
civilization passes away, as all
previous civilizations have inevi
tably passed away into the dim
past, the glories of the American
Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876,
and the 400th celebration of the
Discovery of America at the
World's Fair in Chicago in 1893,
and the grand rehabilitation,
though under adverse circum
stances, of the unsolidified but
half way refructified southern
section of the reunited States at
the Cotton States and Interna
tional Exposition at Atlanta,
Georgia in 1895, will stand out in
bold relief and be referred to as
the stages in the era which
marked indelibly and most prom
inently the progress of the whole
world and more particularly that
of our own portion of it. Three
events in one new Nation, new
country, i the latter portion of
the 19th century which mark as
epochs in the progress of the
people of the whole world. When
London has passed away and
with it Great Britain, as did Bab
ylon, and Paris as Rome, and the
great city of America, which shall
stand out as the synonym of the
continent and the great Master of
the World shall have crumbled
into dust and tha past, and the
archaeologist finds ruins and un
earths relics after the superven
ing era of the dark ages, he will
find Atlanta, the capital of Geor
gia, a State in the South, one of
the first of the original of the
great Nation, with its record of
the ngenuity of Man and his
progress in civilization. It is
worth your while and the ex
pense of a visit to Atlanta at this
time. Go and see it for yourself
It cannot be told to you; There
is no adequate manner of telling
it to each comprehension. If we
were both there you would want to
seethis and we would want to see
that. See the Exposition. It is
the schooling of a 'life time.
It is the Up To Date schooling.
A exposition in a foreign country
is of no use to us, only as a show.
This is practical to our every
day wants and adapted to the de
velopment of future require
uients.Go and see the Exposi
tion! Learn something while
you may. It is cheap. The ex
pense i nothing, comparatively
speaking.
With regard to any comparison
as between Chicago and Atlanta
the only thing in that line is that
Atlanta is a sequel to Chicago's
Novel. It explains the whole
business. The Atlanta Exposi
tion, as it is called, is the grand
est thing that has ever taken
place in the South. It is a reve
lation. It is a new era.
Stirred by self poised ambi
tion, goaded by wanton unwar
ranted slurs upon their manhood
and patriotism the people of the
South have sought and wrought
their own salvation and find it
through the Atlanta Exposition.
Its fruition is the blissful Hope
for the Future. Heavenward
cast your eyes and pray for a
blessing upon the people who
have got it up.
While we do not know that
Senator Sherman has chosen this
time for the publication of his
recollections during forty years
in office with the special idea of
injuring one Benj. Harrison,
there are reasons which squint
that way. For instance, Mr.
Sherman charges in his book,
without any ifs, ands, or buts,
that Mr. Harrison's nomination
for the presidency in 1888 was
brought about by a corrupt bar
gain with one man who con
trolled the New York delegation.
Although no names are used, it
is perfectly plain that Mr. Sher
man refers to the promise made
by Steve Elkins, now a member
of the Senate from West Virgin
ia, on behalf of Mr. Harrison, to
Boss Tom Piatt, who was the
man in control of the New York
delegation, that if Harrison was
nominated and elected, he (Piatt)
should be Secretary of the Treas
ury. The breaking of that prom
ise made Piatt the bitter enemy
of Harrison that he has been
every since. Mr. Sherman also
has a fling at all the prominent
Republicans, and he leaves the
impression that with the excep
tion of Hayes who mat! Sher
man Secretary of the Treasury
and allowed his whole adminis
tration to be used to push his
presidential boom they were a
bad and tricky lot, an impres
sion, barring the exception,
doubtless shared by lots of peo
ple. .
When the archaeologist, to
whom we refer in another article,
unearths prehistoric relics from
the ruins of Atlanta in the year
3501, he will chuckel in glee over
the mummies of Frank P. Rice,
Henry L. Wilson, Evan P. How
ell, Porter King, Wm. Di Grant;
Wm. A. Hemphill, James R.
Wylie, Charles A. Collier, James
R. Lewis, Samuel M. Inman,
Clark Howell, Henry H. Caban
iss, Rufus B. Bullock, Isaac W.
Avery, Antoiue Kontz, Robert J.
Lowery, and a host of other cel
ebrities of Atlanta who have fig
ured in the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition and ex
claim, ."What wonderful men
these were!"
Just hold your corn Buddie.
It is the long-eared sow that
hears the least particle of noise.
The drought this Fall, which is
general throughout the United
States and the greater part of
Europe, after a full corn crop,
has prevented ploughing and con
sequently will prevent the raising
of any wheat crop next vear.
Nature takes care of her own. It
is not for man to know how or
why because lie is too narrow
minded. His conception is lim

man will but heed.
CATCHING COLD
Is What So Slany People Are
Doing Xow-a-Days, and Thus
Laying a Foundation
for Chronic Ca
tarrh. Already the reason of catching cold
is upon ua. The cough and the sneeze
and nasal twang is to be heard on ev
ery hand. The origin of chronic ca
tarrh, the uost common and dreadful
of chronic diseases, is a cold. This is
the way chronic catarrh usually be
gins: A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. Then
follow sensitiveness of the air-passages,
which inclines dne to catch
cold very easily. At last the person
has a cold all the while seemingly
more or less discharge from th nose,
hawking from the throat, nostrils
stopped up. full feeling in the head,
cracking in the ears.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the beginning. A bottle of Pe ru-na,
properly used, never fails to cure a
common cold thus preventing chronic
catarrh. . While many people have been
cured of catarrh by a single bottle of
Pe ru-na, yet,-as a rule, when the ca
tarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more
than one bottle is necessary to com
plete a cure. Pe ru na has cured cases
innumerable of twenty years1 stand
ing. It is the best, if not the only,
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence. But prevention is far bet
ter than cure. Every person subject
to catching cold should take Pe-ru-na
at once at the slightest symptom of
cold at this season of the year, and
thus prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catarrh.

ing Company, Columbus, Ohio. Ask
your druggist for the Pe-ru na Al

The following was published
in the column of the Southern
Poet Laureate Journalist, Frank
L. Stanton, on the Editorial page
of the Atlanta Constitution on the
16th.
Colonel Marcellus E. Thornton
and wife came down with the
North Carolina journalists to vis
it friends in Atlanta and see the
Exposition. The 1 Golonel is one
of Atlanta's old-time newspaper
men, and both he .and his wife
are very popular here. Colonel
Thornton's pen is doing good
work these days on the Press
and Carolinian, published at
Hickory, N. C.
It is the impression among
diplomats and officials in Wash
ington that Great Britain is mak
ing an attempt to bluff the Vene
zuelan government out of its
boots, in ordering " that fortifica
tions be erected upon the dis
puted territory, lying between
Venezuela and British Guiana,
and that it was to gain time to
tee the effect of the, bluff, and
not to make a European combi
nation agaiast the 'Monroe doc
trine, as has. been sensationally
reported, that the British gov
ernment requested further time
to consider Secretary Olney's last
communication, whi ch states the
position of the United States as
to the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine. John Bull is a
wise old chap in spite of his oc
casional bluster. He would
much rather accomplish his pur
pose by scaring Venezuela than by
trying the dangerous experi
ment of ignoring the Monroe
doctrine. If the Venezuelans only
display a little backbone now that
boundary line dispute will be
submitted to arbitration, in ac
cordance with the original sug
gestions of President Cleveland.
The Hickory Mercury of last
week said:
Col. and Mrs. M. E. Thornton
started Monday for the Atlanta
Exposition. It was the day when
the Press Association of the State
were to go in a body. "We know
the editors and their ladies will
have a nice time, at least, we wish
it for them.
The other N. C. Press Associa
tion editors arrived in .Atlanta
the day before Col. and Mrs.
M. E. Thornton.

being torn down to be put in the breast
works. Then I got back to Atlanta
with my brother on the morning of
the 3d day after Sherman's Army left.
We could not drive our spring wagon
through Whitehall street, on account
ot the large number of mules that
were dead, the largest piles of them
being about 150 feet south of Alalwima
street. Besides the brick walls stand
ing were dangerous and the streets
were strewn with bricks. So I have
seen Atlanta. But now, although I
love it; although 1 love dear old
Georgia; and althoughT know more
of Atlanta, the people, than any other
man in Atlanta; and although I know
more of Georgia, t le people, than any
other man in Georgia, 1 fear that I
shall never see it again. 1 bade my
dear old mother "Farewell,1 when I
was in Atlanta
Yes, I will do as much for Hickory
and for Burke county and for Western
.North Carolina as 1 ever did for Atlan
ta and for Georgia. What 1 want is
for some of my friends who are weary
of turmoil or who wish a spot where
they can have recreation," pure air,
clear ozone, a health-giving climate, to
come to Hickory, or any part ot West
ern North Carolina, or to Bridgewa
ter. My boyhood friend, Hon. James
D. Collins, (Jim) of the firm of Veua
ble Bros. &; Co., or used to be; any
way he is of the big Collins Brick Co.,
and one of the Commissioners of Ful
ton county, said he had some detached
property there on the suburbs of At
lanta worth $33,000, which he wanted
to swap for a good farm in Western
North Carolina so he could come up
here, get some fresh air, fish and hunt
And raise hogs. Jim is worth a pretty
good sum of money and would make
things hum around his settlement.
He wanted to swap with me, as he
said he wanted to get near me. But
I told him I would sell him one of my
wife's thirteen farms for the cash and
would be glad to have him yet we
were not swapping North Carolina
farms on the Catawba river at.Bridge
water for any outside property. I
would like to get a colony of first-class
thoroughbred Georgians up at Bridge
water. We conld fish and shoot par
tridges at our own sweet will.

port from the Exposition.
Special to the ObtserYer,
Hickory, Oct. 21. Rev. J. A. Ram
say, pastor f the Presbj terian church,
has been suffering much with an ul
cerated eye, caused by the entering of
a small particle of dust. He went to
Raleigh on the 11th inst. and had Dr.
Lewis to treat the eye, returning after
a few days with assurances that hi
eye would be fully restored. After
great care he appeared in his pulpit
Sunday morning and being aided in
his reading by one of the elders, h?
preached then and again at night two
of his most acceptable sermons.
Col. and Mrs. M. E. Thornton re
turned fromf Atlanta on Saturday last,
with. much to say in behalf of the ex
position, though greatly afflicted with
the dust there and elsewhere prevail
ing. Col. Thornton thinks the At
lanta Exposition a great success, com
paratively beating the World's Fair.
