A Good Hint From Atlanta. Why Not Perpetuate and Util? ize The State Exhibit. Atlanta, Nov. 30 -Thousands of Carolinians have recently seen tho splendid exhibit of the Palmetto Sta:?.5 and wili return io their homes to tell their friends what a creatable exhib?: the State h;id Thar. rher<* wa* ;< varied and interesting ex hi vi: . *? tbs re? sources cd tho Srate ail who - ; v it vv?!? appreciate. ?c Las not been s > ven.- long since Comrt;i?>:oner Roche worn through the agonies of sjer t i r; ir up the t s bi bit. of which so much favorable cott tuent has been made It will 1,0: take long to remember h >w discouraging a task OooimisMoncr ilocbc.had. Those who ?ave him aspi>rance were fewer thao might have beeu expected in view cf ? he work. A few only iu each county did what, was doue. Thc News and Courier kept up a constant appeal for exhibits and for the people te co ope? rate in the vvoik. Governor Evans ap? pointed commissioners in every county The Youog Men's Business L ague raised irs full share of money and Gov? ernor Evans obtained money, and still there was by no means a general co? operation in the great work. What was everybody's business seemed tu he no one's business and a few had to do the work. Now ali realize why there were puch appeals made for co opera tion and all appreciate what those who made the exhibit possible have done for them and the State. Realizing what au up-hill work com? missioner Roche had in getting up the exhibit, is it not important to keep what has been gotteu together as the nucleus for a more t-plendid display of Carolinians resources? The Atlanta Ex? position will close in about a month's time, and of course some disposition will bate to be made of the Carolina ex? hibit. The last exhibit of the State, it will be remembered, was destroyed by fire at Clemson college, and tbe question is should the articles in At? lanta be takeo back to Clemson to re? main in comparative obscurity. The exhibit was gotten up chiefly to adver? tise the State's resources, and it would seem proper that this advertisement of the possibilities of the State should be made to last as long as possible. If the exhibit be takeo to Clemson it would not be in the reach of many, as only those interested in the College aie ex? pected to go there If taken to Co? lumbia or .*ome other central point it would, as it DOW stands, be a fine stand? ing advertisement of the resources of the State If the exhibit were for instance placed on the second floor of thc State House opposite the liberty, it would be inspect? ed by hundreds of visitors every year. Some of the State officials would no doubt tc glad to take charge of the ex hibit, especially if a little extra salary were included. In case the exhibit were sent to Colum? bia, no doubt much of the display that now belongs to individuals, corportions and other interests could be obtained to keep the exhibit together. Then the great trouble experienced io getting un this exhibit would no doubt prompt the authorities to continue the work of completing the exhibit. Every month an article or two could be added and thus the the display of Carolina's resources would be made more satisfac? tory for the next exhibition, Ray that at Nashville or Baltimore. The wood exhibit could io this way be made up, not in an emergency, but to suit the condition of the fibre and sap ; the fish could be collected when in season and so on dowo the list. It is really as remarkable as it is creditable that Commissioner Roche should have done such a great work, under the conditions he had to encoun? ter. One of the new features of the Car? olina exhibit is a very large photograph showing the members of the Constitu? tional Convention. The photograph is made up of cabinet size pictures of the delegates. The picture is really very fine and Mr \V. A. Reckling, who did the work, has done one of the Geest pieces of collective photography seen io the State. The last of the Carolinians who went over to Atlanta on the special excur? sions returned to their bsmes to-day, aod all speak io glowing terms of the visit, except as to the crush at the union railroad statioo. A K. Baptist Convention. Greenville. S. C. Nov. 30.-The Cooveotioo was largely atteoded yes? terday. The ioterest io the meeting continues unabated, PresideotSanders called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock for the consideration of the report of the Committee on Co-operation. W. T. Derieux, of Spartanburg, read the report. Dr. H. L. Morehouse discuss? ed the report and afterwards it was re? committed. There is a strong, earnest feeling in the Cooventin for co-operation with the Northern Society in its work among the colored people. L. W. H. Whitsitt spoke to subject j of the interesting question of "Min- j isterial Education." The fund for this | purposes, he said, had been for some I time growing less while the demands have been increasing ' The question of the educational institutions of the Convention was called : at this time. This ?3 a question in which much intest of the denomination ! is centered, Some, earnest, practical J Speeches were made by several members. A plan for extending the endowment, of Furman University was submitted bj the board of trustees. Tbs plan was adopted by th* Convention, and under this plan there was raised on the floor rf the Convention a sum amounting to Th- ?rst h"?r - f ?as? night's session was devoted t<> 'h? consideration o foreign uiis.-ioos.

J C B'owne, of Aiken, submited thc report of 'he committee on co-edu? cation it; Furman University. The report advised a continuation of this system a* ?ow operated hy the institu? tion. Quite a discussion was precipi? tated hy this report. Several earnest speeches were made. Judging from the spirit of the speeches and the un? animity of the vote which adopted this re? port the body thereby endorsed thc poli tne doors of Furman to wo? men, a lar*e majority of our people en? dorse co-education. The Coovantion will meet next year with the Citadel Square Baptist, Charleston. C S Gardner to preach the Convention sermon with E E. Bo? nier alternate.-Columbia Register. Another Exposition. Southern Cotton Mills Advis? ed to Exhibit Their Goods. Augusta, Ga , N -v. 29 - Augusta has staned a pian to include the whole South for a Southern Cottou Exposition in Ch ic? go. After several days io consultation with Mr. F B DeBetard, of the New York Dry Goods Ecouomist, the fol? lowing plan bas been mapped out : It is self evident that both consumers and investors will be attracted to 'the South in great numbers hy proof that the South can produce mitre cheaply. The South can sell more cheaply than any competitor. It is proposed to sup? ply this proof by holding a. Cotton Ex? position in Chicago whose broad pur? poses shaM be : 1. To make new customers for pres? ent products. 2. 'To open direct iines cf distribu tion between producer and consumer 3. To bring to the knowledge of the capitalists, in a most forcible and con? vincing way, the great opportunities for profit wbich Southern cottou milln afford And, finally, to show to the great West that Chicago is the natural and logical distributing ceut.e for $275, 000,000 worth of cotton goods annu? ally, which the South must and will naturally and logically make ; and to offer to Chicago the great prize of an immense trade in exchange for Chi? cago's mighty assistance in building up the South. The exhibit should be as practical and business-like iu its nature as ex pedient, with enough of the picture? sque element to make it attractive to the publio It should be devised to appeal to three great clashes, defined as follows : For thc general public : Picturesque features, cotton culture, preparation, methods of shipment, etc., plantation scenes, Southern cotton markets' Nothern cotton exchanges, etc , com? parative exhibit of ootton machinery from the earliest times to thc preseot, modern ootton machinery at work. For the merchant : Avery full and complete display of Southern cotton goods, in comparison with New Eng? land-made goods of similar grades. Elaborate displays by individual Southern mills. Models of leading distance and freight charges, full com? parisons of quality and selling prices For the inveutor: Very full and thorough object lessons in relative costs, North and South ; new machin? ery contrasted with old ; the great earn? ing power of new equipments in the South, low cost of construction and low capitalization in the South, comparison of wages, cost of raw material and freight charges. North and South ; Southern water powers. This is but a rough outline of the many useful details that will suggest themselves. It should be carefully noted that an enormous outlay is not contemplated. ? very moderate sum of money would serve every practioal business purpose, and with judicious management the earnings could be made to pay all expenses. Specially constructed buildings are not essential, although it might be expedient to pro? vide them. The prettiest lot of writing tablets in the city at H. G. Osteeu & Co's.
