TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL, j j VISIT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA EDI- J TORS TO THE ROCK CITY. y I . e?Tr nnthe Bead aaa la Xash- j vllle?A Glimpse of asd from Hookoat Mountain, Cfaickaxnauga Park anci it* Monuments. The close of the present century it appears is to be marked with great expositions. First there came the World's Fair, at Chicago, then the San Francisco Midwinter Expo- j sition, the Atlanta undertaking and now the celebration of the admission of Tennessee ' into the Union. These shows have been of! untold benefit and their etfects will extend j over years and years. Not only do they bring together thousands and thousands of people from various States, but they are educators?the most pleasant kind of instructors. They show what a great and what a fertile country this is we live in. They exemplify the progress and thrift of certain sections of the country, and give the object lesson to other States. If Carolinians who j went to Nashville only accept one thing they j saw in the Volunteer State it will be that j much of a gain. Other States may catch j other ideas, but the Palmetto State could not j do a wiser or a better thing than to model; her roads after the magnificent pikes that j traverse the section of Tennessee visited in a trip incident to tne Jkxposiuuu. When President Anil, of the State Press Association, announced that he had arranged for a trip to Nashville for the mem- 1 bers of the Association there was joy in the 1 camp. The proposed trip "was on pleasant as well as profitable lines, and very many more than were able to go hoped to inve that pleasnra. The newspaper man, however, cannot always arrange to get off when he elects. Mr. Aull thought of the conveniences of making the trip in a Pullman car, and a happy suggestion it was, for it brought together a most congenial set of newspaper o-n/1 woe pffmomical nlan. The car ''Dnieper" was in waiting for the party at Cross Hill, after the editors had a most enjoyable afternoon at the celebrated Harris Lithia Springs. Here are the excursionists who went to see the sight? of Nashville and other villas: President E. E. Anil, Ilerald and News, Newberry. Lieutenant Governor M. 15. McSweeney, Hampton Guardian. Louis Appelt, Manning Times. S. R. Bridges. Leesvilie Lancet. G. R. Pettigrew, Reform Advocate. J. S. McKenzie, Reform Advocate, Florence. Rice B. Haman, Lexington Dispatch. T. J.

It was arranged that the ladies of the jjarty occupy the forward section of the sleeper, and the gentlemen of the excursion did their sleeping, joking, frolicking, etc.. in the other portion of the car. THE RAILEOAD MES. There was a brief stop in Atlanta on Friday morning, just long enough for a comfortable breakfast at Durant's and a stroll about the last Exposition City. The Seaboard Air Line, which, always does the right thing, had the special to arrive in Atlanta on time. Mr. J. K. Latimer, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Loui3 road, anticipated the arrival of the party on his road and" came on to Atlanta with the tourists. The Western and Atlanta and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis are under one management, and it is a great railroad system. It runs fine and fast trains, and knows how to make things pleasant for its patrons. General Passenger Agent Harmon, of the Western and Atlantic, hoped to go on with the Carolinians, but could not do so, and Mr. J. H. Latimer, of the Xashvilie, Chattanooga and St. Louis Road, made the trip, and a pleasftnt?r companion or better chaperon could not have been secured. The Western and Atlantic passes through battlefield after battlefield, and no one knows more about them or their traditions than does Mr. Latimer. WAR SCKXZS OX THE ROUTS. ! A writer sasys: In none of the campaigns of the gigantic "war between the States" j was there a more notable display of adroit, wary, far-reaching strategic genius and pru- j dent, patient, watcmui care on me part 01 i the great commanders; of zealous, skilful j and fearless leadership by their field officers, ! or of more heroic bravery, fortitude and I cheerful endurance by the soldiery, than in j those of 1863 and 1864, during which the world became familiar with the names of ] Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringoid, I Rocky Face, Dalton, Resaca, Altoona, Kenne- j saw Mountain and Atlanta. J Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, llosecrans, j Thomas, McPherson, Scofield, Hooker, Corse, Blair, Harker, Kilpatrick, Stoneman and a half score of others scarcely less famous, who followed the "bright stany banner" of the Union; -while Bragg, arid afterwards J ohn- j ston, with Kardee, Hood, Polk, Longstreet, J Cleburne, Breckinridge, Buckner, Forrest, j French, Walthall and Wheeler, with brother | chieftains as valiant and devoetd, showed ] that the South had sent her brainiest and j bravest to endeavor, with the fifty thousand j men, to stem the tide of invasion which was rolling through Georgia, the keystone State j of the Confederacy, against Atlanta, which j was then, as now, considered the -'heart of] the South." It is along this route that the Western and j Atlantic runs. TISIT TO LOOKOUT MOUSTIA>\ But to hurry on. The party reached I Chattanooga about 1 o'clock, and after din-{ nerwent out to Lookoat Mountain, one of j the most celebrated and historic -works of I nature in America. Lookout Mountain is full of historic interest, and it affords a I sublime view of parts of Tennessee and j neighboring States, but what most attracted j the Carolina editors was the -wonderful new ! double cable incline. This incline is a con-1 bination cable and electric line, and a won- \ derful piece of railroading. Although it is only 4,S00 feet in length, it. covers a rise of 1,5S0 feet. At the top of the "incline'' the car goes up almost perpendicularly, and the bottom of the mountain seems miles and not i feet away. It is very much like going a mile in an elevator, only the surrounding country is taken in, and the situation is fully exposed, while in an elevator ther? is no looking up or down. Everyone went up the incline, but when they did so they promised i themselves that they would not make the ascent again; once was enough for them. At all events it is an experience ?rorta j the taking. The press party then Trent out j to Point Lookout to take in the surrounding j landscape. The books say that from Point j Lookout one can see into seven States, viz: I Tennessee, Alabama. Yirgi: ?, Georgia, j North Carolina.South Carolina and Kentucky: i but, of course, the afternoon of the visit had ! to be cloudy, and a full view could not be gained. It was not, however, too cloudy for the enterprising photographer to get up souvenirs for the partv. CHIC5iAM.il.'GA BATTLK* IS. The feature of the day's trip was the visit to the battlefield, now the park of Chiekamauga. History has put this down as one of the most sanguinary and important battles ! aiid its terrific slaughter may be gathered from these "official"' figures: Roseerans?Killed, 1,0*57; wounded, 9,750: missing 4,757: a large number cf the missing were killed. Total elective force 50.870: loss 10,170. Bragg?Killed, 2.3!r:9: wounded 13,412: missing 2,003. Total elective force, 63.557; -irrfrrr-n,,^^911 .'. ^rr,,- ..o_ ioic iV.SOi. Tciai loss of yoth anaios 1J75. It is needles to relate it; tips and do was o: the battle or of the vclc-r of the troops, especially of those from South Carolina The point is that the Federal Government has bought and set aside a park of 5,000 acres as a national park. It was to this | park that the excursionists took an afternoon [ drive. The Government ha? designated tne ! stations of the various brigades with iron tablets stating the movements of the troops and the States have been invited to plase monuments on the battle ground in honor of the soldiery. It is stated that there are about ouO State monuments on the grounds. If South Carolina hat had occasion to be proud <>f her soldiery :a these engagements she has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to show it. The guides drice you by one Ini Jiana and Illinois and Wisconsin and Michigan monument after the other, one handsomer than the other, but the eye is wearied looking in vain for something to show that Carolinians honor their dead, for no State had braver or stouter hearts than those that followed Capers and Walker and Kershaw and the others through this engagement. The guide talks to you of the Confederates as being "the enemy" and you ride through the miles of roadway wondering where there were any soldiers to tight Rosecrans and J Thomas. The onij- tablet the Carolinians I saw that recalled home locating Ker| shaw:s brigade, at the foot of Sncdgrass Hill. Carolina can hardly hope to erect monuments to her fallen soldiery on many 01 I the battlefields, but when other Stuies erect | them for regiments and brigades the Palmetto State should, it appears, have pride enough in its record to at least raise a State monument among the eulogistic shafts that record the final conquest of the Southland. Those who go to Nashville should be sure to make the stop at Chattanooga, if only long enough to take a hurried trip out to Chickamauga, which is about nine miles | from the city of ChattanoogaSAFK IX Til E KOCK CITY. Sunday morning the press pilgrims arrived in Nashville, "the Rock City." as it is called. It was a bright and pleasant day i and gave the Carolinians a favorable nn>t ! inmrcssion of the citv. Nashville is decided ly a city of hills and is all the core attractive as most of the prominent buildings are on high summits, the Capitol building. Vandcrbilt University, the Centennial structures, all stand out conspicuously because of the high hills of the Rock City. To get a good idea of Nashville you can ride around and through the city on the elcctric cars for a nickel. For instance seven miles out to ! Glendale Park for a nickel and from the ter| minal station out to the Exposition for five { cents. There are a number of cross town | lines, wnicn, togeiuer wuu luc uch| give a splendid opportunity tor "taking in" | the city. NOT A CYCLING CITY. Bicycling ordinarily is a very good thing, and there are few better and cheaper ways of "seeing" a city than withagood "bike," but Nashville is not built tor the cyclist. The hills and inclines are so numerous that there is no pleasure in riding a bicycle, and for sc large a city comparatively few wheels are tc be seen. Nashville claims a population of 100,000, and no doubt she has it. if Atlanta has SO,000. President Auli arranged for the member; of the 1'ress Association to attend the ser I vices at the First Presbyterian unurcn ana ;u j Christ Episcopal Church. Both services 5 were well attended, and at the Episcopal j Church very fine music was neard. THOSE nous BARBER*. Although Nashville is reputed to be one of the strongest denominational cities in the country, and it has a great many strong churches, it is a most cosmopolitan city, permitting great latitude in the observance of Sunday. While on the surfac3 there appears to be a strict observance, almost anything that is wanted can be obtained, either through regularly open places or by means of what Carolinians call %"blind tigers." About the only gouge that was experienced in Nashville was for a shave on Sunday. It appears that some time ago the ':goodyi goody" ba.'oers petitioned the General As sernbly to pass a law to prohibit Sunday barbering. Now when a person wants to get shaved on Sunday he is run into some back room, where there is half a dozen barbers at work, and is charged twenty-five cents for the shave, on the ground that the barbers have to run the risk of being arrested for violation of the law, ' the law which they themselves had passed. vou can go right acros3 the street, and buy your cigars and soda water at regular prices and the bar rooms, are anxious enough to sell you beer at five cents a schooner, or any other drink at the customary week-days prices. now to visit Nashville. A few hints about the practical side of a trip to Nashville may not be amiss. I in the first place do not take a ay more baggage than is absolutely necessary. It will only be in the way. There 13 no occasion for style in Nashville. By all means take a satchel or telescope. If one satchel won't do, taice two and unless you want to be worried about the hauling of a trunk and the uncertainty of getting it, and rechecking it, leave it at home. Ladies in Nashville -wear shirt waists and crash of dark skirts, just as they do in Columbia or Charleston. In the next place always try to go with some one else. This is not a case where "two is company and three a crowd." There are a dozen and one things in which it is more pleasant, more agreeable and certainly more economical for a party of two or more. A WORD AS TO BOOMS ASD MEALS. When you get to town there is no aesd j to rush to the most expensive hotels?you j can get as good accommodations as you are I accustomed to at a thousand places, more or I less. Get a room at some hotel or private residence, near the street car line. A good room need not cost you more than SI or ?2 a ! night, if you are with a friend or friends the j expense will be reduced, dividing the cost of the room to 50 cents or $1 at most. Nash! villeis a cheap place to live. You can get a I cheap place to live. You can get a meal, | and a very good one, too, for 20 cents. Any j meal will cost you from 20 cents to ?1, ac | cording to tie style you put on, ana tte ex! cellence of the service. Here is where a party does good again. If you go to the Mas well House, the Utopia or any other of the larger restaurants or hotels, everything is on the European plan. You order what you want and pay for what you get. Suppose there are four at breakfast, there is no need in the world to order four steaks, two will be ample, the meal nay be diversified by ordering two omelettes, and say two pieces of pompano fish. The three dishes will give each one a first class meal at the cost of a steak for one. In nine out of ten cases the joint .-rder gives more variety at less cust. No hetter meals need be wished than those served at aay of the good hotels or restaurants. The service is fine, and the aUiiiCwUiLi^ CV UC igUiCLUWX&U. 'i liu the joint orders meals will average -50 or GO cents. THE CHEAP RESTAURANTS. But the 20 cent meals are very good, and thousands patronize these restaurants, for instance, on one day they Trill advertise this bill of fare, all for 20 cents: Fish, rice chicken, potato, cabbage, bread, ice tea and pie. In almost every part of the city these 20-ccms restaurants are to be found, and they are entirely respectable and serve very good meals: certainty -worth the price asked. On the eating question there need be no fear of being gouged, the competition is far too | sharp. At the Exposition grounds Gersl runs several cafes. At the Vienna restau?ii *> err-in,? sf-nnrp meal eanhehad for 35 cents. Ilerc is a sample menu: Cream of | chicken, fried black bass, prime roast beef, I baked ham with champagne sauce, mashed j potatoes, new peas, bread pudding?and they give you what is on the bill. Gerst has other restaurants where you can or ler what you want, and in the woman's building there is a splendid cafe. So it wi'l be seen that one can eat cheap enough or as expensively as desired while on the Exposition grounds. The service, the rood and the prices on the crnvjT^.s arc vostlv better than they were at the Atlanta Exposition. If you -want to round off the day vrith a real feast take a table d'hote dinner at the Maswell for one dollar. HO v.- TO GLT "iO THE EXl*OSIT!OJf. The best and quickest vray to the Exposition grounds is by ~ay of the special trains over the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis Kailroad. This road rues a train every fevr - - - - ^ . minutes between ;iie L men station ana iae Exposition grounds. The line 13 as convenient as Tras that of the Souther7- :o the Atj lanta Exposition; the fare is five cents. One 5 7"" i I or iso trips m;^b; xell bo -a-ids ever the ! ! olectrlc- Sii'cv'i. car lino, whicl; ;3 more acccssi- i ; Wt> ?r. -.r, thfe beautiful r?:ldenoes and i .i part of the city proper. Doa'i Lu*"c your air.il sent to any of the hotels, at least do not do so until you get there and arrange matters with tl.e prince of the town?the clerk. The best idea, is to have mail sent care of the general deliver}' and call at the postoiiice daily or after you get to Nashville direct the postoiiice to send it to some place where you are not liable to have a duzen people wanting something at the same time. r.Ksr norrr. to nasi!viu.k. As to route- that is largely a matter of location and preference. The Press Association went over the .Seaboard, the Western and Atlanta and the Nashville, Chattanooga T.nnw ?nil lift I Ar route could not he chosen. Then jou can go to Atlanta or Cha'tnnooga over the Southern or to Atlanta over the Georgia. You either have to go to Atlanta or Chattanooga and from Chattanooga to Nashville over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis Road. The fare over any of the routes is the same from competitive points and the traveller may select his line, without additional expense, if through connections are made. The roads from Atlanta run there or more trains westward daily, during the Exposition. STYLE OF TUE EXPOSITION. The Exposition itself is far too large an enterprise to describe in this letter. It is better to see it than to have some one tell you of it. To begin with, one exposition is [ very much like another. Atlanta was like Chicago and so is Nashville. The general J impression is very much the same. The J buildings present much the same appearance, being on thesaaie general lines and I made of frame, covered with stuff." The! Nashville grounds are, if anything, prettier tlan those of Atlanta. Perhaps the prettiest view of the grounds and the best ensemble of the buildings is to be had from the Rialto. When it is stated that there are forty, five buildings and thirteen main buildings , on the grounds the largeness of the subject may be appreciated. The immense buildings are grouped about, the natural lake. The architecture is varied, the auditorium is onil Trmii* in frpqfmpnt " WlVlAltH 1U uwi^u the mineral and forestry building is of the "Roman-Doric order of architecture." The woman's building is modelled "somewhat after the Hermitage, and to thi3 design some I features of Grecian architecture have been ] added with pleasing effect," and so the , many biMings practically all covered with . white stuff, varying in size aud architectural lines, all go to make up the vast Centennial ftirv. The main buildings arc: The Auditorium, the Administration building, the Parthenon, History, Commerce, Minerals and Forestry, Woman's building, Chrildren's, Agriculture, Machinery, Negro, Railway Exhibits, United States Government, Transportation, lly? giene and Education, Knoxville, Illinois, Cincinnati, Louisville, and then comes the score of smaller buildings and those on the : Midway, or, as they call it in Nashville, i "Vanity Fair." i 711K r.YETII KNOX. The Parthenon is considered the piece de resistance, architecturally speaking, and the reports give this description of that structure: j la the centre ol tne pars, ana on an eie vated terrace, is the Parthenoon or Fine , Arts Euilding. As the Parthenon, dei signed under the direction of Phidias and . Ictinus, in the time of Pericles, at Athens, was the chief glory of all architecture, so the Parthenon of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition is the pride and chief glory of the Centennial group. As it is to contain invaluable works of art, it will be lireproof, with stone foundation, concrete tioor, brick walls, and glass roof in steel . frame; the exterior being ornamented in moiueu. blULL ill lmiUlLiVU u; lUC wij.uai. Its fifty-eight dated columns, and every de; tail possible, are true to the original in design and coloring. There is a large door at either end, opening upon the double columned porticos, but no windows?light being obtained through the glass roof and from myr. iads o? incandescent lamps. | The sculpture to be placed on the pedi-1 ments metopes and frieze are in imitation of the original, and are in molded staff, fur- j , nishing an object lesson in classic architec- j ture not heretofore seen in this country. In ] front of the Parthenon will be erected a stat ue of Pallas Athene, which, with the pedest-; al, will be forty feet high. Around the Parthenon all of the other beautiful edifices are clustered. So it was when the original was created by the immortal Ictinus and decorat- j ed the unrivalled Phidias. As their creation was the crowning glory of the Acropolis, so j will this, its counterpart, erected tvrenty-iour i centuries later, excel any in this constellation of beautiful buildings. It is a notable | coincidence that Nashville, known as the | "Athens of the South," should be the first to reproduce the ancient Greek temple in all its artistic beauty. SIZE OF BUILDINGS. Some idea of the size of the buildings may be had by giving the dimensions of a few of me structures, wmcn are: .niuerais auu Forestry building, 400 by 125 feet, and an annex, altogether affording about 77,000 square feet; Machinery Hall, 375 by 138 feet, with about 52,000 square feet; Agriculture building, 525 by 175 feet, with 100,000 square feet: Transportation building, -100 by 120 feet?50,000 square feet; Commerce building, 501 by 25G feet, and an extension of about 250,000 square feet; Administration building: Woman's building. 1G0 by 85 feet; Auditorium, with seating capacity for 0,000. TIIE GOVEStXMENT BCILDIXG. If you were to ask which is the mo3t inter esting building on the grounds it would be proper to consider varying tastes in making replv. But all in all the United States Government building is by far the most interesting, general and elaborate of all in its displays. It is an exhibition in itself, embracing a department of war and marine exhibits, a department of zoology and piscatory, a department of art and science, a department of ancient and modern history, a department of - - j * a .r A ~ invention, a ueparimuui/ ox puiiabujut* a.uu a. department of finance. Every department is complete, the Government having spent years in securing and arranging the exhibts. For instance, the -war department displays specimen uniforms of the soldiery from the days of the Vuritan up to the present, in another department is shown the evolutions of the firearms, guns, and cannon. The navy department shows models of the war vessels, of the light house lights and houses, and other things connected with the service. The treasury department has a specimen of every bill and bond printed and issued by the government as well as of the coin. xne postomce ucpartment, uesiuea uu.viu? millions of specimens of United States and foreign stamps, has a most interesting collection of dead letter relics, and illustrations of the progress of the postolSce service in this and in other countries. The Indian, educational, agricultural and Smithsonian exhibits are all brimful of interest. The fisheries department shows some actual -work, and has a most attractive display of fish. The State department shows many most unique and interesting letters i and official proclamations in every conceiva blc language. A Jay can be profitably and j pleasurably spent in Uncle Sam's hall. The patent office exhibits is decidedly valuable. and in the great show, in which South Carolina plays such a small figure, it will be interesting to note that South Carolina has some credit given it in the patent office display. A model of the "Flying Dutchman/' which was a kind of car propelled by walking a treadmill is shown. It is credited to South Carolina, 1S23-SU. The next in the line of railway evolution is the model of the "West roint." Trvliicli was built at the West Point Foundery Works, in New York city, for the South Carolina Kailroad, forwarded to Charleston by the ship Lafayette, and after ssveral experimental trials in February, ISol. made the first excursion trip as above. The above refers to a drawing of the excursion train. Below the drawing are extracts from the Charleston Courier of January 17, 1881, rnd March 12, 1S31. In the account the' barrier'' is described. It is a fiat car loaded with six bales of cotton, between the 1 / . 5 r,n<3 nisconffor /' rkOfVi If was. The account states: '-The trip to the Five-mile House, two and three-fourths miles. Was completed in eleven minutes, when the cars vrere stopped to oil the axles about two minutes. The next two and a quarter miles to the forks of the Dorchester Koad were completed in eight minutes." ihe report says that the previous accident had been provided against l>j the "aang'', I viilch sr.is ia&'Io 03* Mr. juiiixs D. i'&iou, \ ?vbo "^'orKcr^l wiiii vile uOUUt viiron&ft [ road. Notwithstanding this they have out in the transportation department a model of the De^'itt, and it is marked the ;irst locomotive and train in the United State?. tiie woman's r.t !u>in<; But enough of tin*. Suppose the woman's building is visited. Like everything with which woman has anything to do all is neatness and comfort about the building. There is the usual uisplaj* of tine art and embroidery, but there i? this distinctive feature about the exhibit in the woman's building. In a j charming room there ;vre several thousand | volumes of hooks written by women. All of ! the celebrated female authors have their writings in this hall and the management has done the best it could to get the publications of others. The works of many female writers nave been obtained through the publishers and in such cases the finest bindings are provided. South Carolina's place is not as conspicu ous as it might be if many writings were available, but there is <]uite a creditable collection of the works of South Carolina women. The catalogue shows the following writings on file from this State: II. Call ill, scrap book of writings. B. Courtland, "Swamp Lilies of South Carolina." K. Courtland, '-Songs from Poetland." Mrs. F. W. Dawson, "The CIho-^t of a Sunbonnet," "A Midsummer Madness" and--.vie Auntie own Silk Umbrella." F. Deas, "The Little Match Girl." E. Ellis, '-Writings." C.

Voung, "Beholding as in a Glass:" "Tower in a Desert." Mrs. M. W. Coleman, ''The Blue Chrysan- j themums.'' Miss Blue, "The Hand of Fate."' SOI'TII CAROLINA SOT IN IT. South Carolina, as a State, has no exhibit on the grounds. There is nothing to show that South Carolina has aay industries or anything else. There is no need to undertake to explain why there is no State ex hibit. Suflice to say that while Utah and] Mexico all have displays and invitations to settlers there is nothing from South Carolina i except the exhibit of the Harris Lithia J Company. Mr. Harris never misses an opportunity to advertise hi3 far-famed lithia j waters and he has it on sale all over the grounds as well as in this city. Mr. Harris j has arranged a handsome booth to show the lithia water for which he is finding such a j large sale. Mr. Harris will have the lithia ' waters advertised by the fireworks display in a few days. ]I0W HISTORY IS ILLUSTRATED. One of the most inteiesting buildings on the grounds is devoted to history. It conoi-ViiKita n.nrl of the Revolutionary. 1 Mexican and Confederate wars, and Andrew Jackson, who is the special pride of Tennessee at this time,has a large place in the picture. There is an interesting statement | on one of the walls in connection with the j civil war: it shows these figures: Forces engaged?Federal, 2,8-39,132: Confederate, GOO.IOO. At date of surrender the armies stood? United States of America, 1,000,510; Con federate States of America, 272,0-5. The 17th South Carolina regiment lost at Manassas 00 per cent; loss of Germans in Franco-German war, 3.10 per cent; Federals lost in civil war, 4.7 per cent; Confederates lost, in civil war, 9 per cent. | The history building is largely devoted tc j relics of Andrew Jackson, and he seems to have given the world no end of valuahle ! relics. Governor Russell, in his speech, I claimed Jackson as a native of North Carolina; the histories generally put him down as a | North Carolinian, but in his brief, but capital j talk with Gen. R. R. Hemphill, gave these J historians some facts to think about, and if j they are -willing to accept facts and not fiction they will admit that Jacksou was born in South Carolina, as Gen. Hemphill showed. Gen. Hemphill's talk was one of the few addresses made on such occasions that will be remembered and spoken of by those who seek facts. Lieatenant Governor McSweeney on the same occasion made a happy and creditable response for his State. The Nashville newspapers, which did not startle South Carolinians, for The iSews and Courier is a far better paper than any published in Nashville, insisted on calling the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina Mr. Sweeney and not Mr. McSweeney. NEGRO EXHIBIT A FAILURE. The negro building is quite large, and is I not nearlv filled. The newspapers say the exhibitors haven't the money with which to get the exhibits out of the depots. The exhibits in this building are not as good as they should be. The only thing in the hall from South Carolina that was seen was a frame of pictures, showing the faculty of i Benedict University at Columbia. A native of Dahomey and a prize trick horse seem to be the chief attractions in this building. The pity is that the coloored race docs not accept such opportunities to show ihe world what it is doing, and can do, instead of exhibiting pictures, a few piecc3 of bought mechanism, some handwork and cases of embroidery and crocheting. VANITY FAIR. 11 i! L.i aT- - [ "\ anuy rair is w iMisuvme wuw mc Midway vas to Chicago and Atlanta. There is something there to suit the young and the old, the women and the men. The Grant see-saiv is the feature of the row, as was the Ferris wheel at Chicago. Along the "row" there are the falkcrs attractions, some of which are good and others better: Tent, Grant see-saw, Spain's palace of illusions, Spain's mirror maze, Chinese village, cyclorama, old plantation, shooting the chute, Colorado gold mine, phantom swing, ostrich i 1 1 ? iarm, wuu aaiuiiu u,reuit, iuuujlwu ymavc. chamber of horrors, night and morning, Californina big tree, Cuban village, Nebraska sod house, Lincoln and Davis cabins, E lison's mirage, Roentgen rays, streets of Cairo. COL. AVKR1I-L S EXHIBIT. One of the most artistic and at the same time representative exhibits is that of the Georgia Railroad, which has been arranged by Col. John II. Averill, as special commissioner. Col. Averill has done his vrork well, and the display of the Georgia Railroad is complimented on all sides. 1SKLLK .UI'.AI'h fAK.'i. The hurried trip to Belle Meade [ stock farm was one of the pleasant incidents of the trip. Gen. Jackson, a typical Southernor, owns a blue grass farm 5,000 acres on which he raises horses, cattle, vegetables and with all was a handsome home. Gen.

However much great respect he has for the opinions of such good Reformers, as the petitioners, it is not likely that any investigation will be ordered. Gcts Hi? Bale. A dispatch from Ash vi lie, N.
