L TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL. VISIT OF THE SOUTH CAKOLiiNA tui $ TORS TO THE ROCK CITY. Whit they 8aw on the Road and In Nash? n I!' Tllle?A Glimpse of aud from Lookout 0 Mountain, ChlckamauRa Park and lta a fl Momments. The close of the present century it appears 11 is to be marked with great expositions. * First there came the World's Fair, at Chica- ( go, then the San Krancisco Midwinter exposition, the Atlanta undertaking and now the " celebration of the admission of Tennes?ee |c into the Union. These shows have been of untold benefit and their effects will extend over years and years. Not only do they a 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 a< fertile country this is we live in. They ex- P emplify the progress and thrift of certain sec<inn? nf t.h? ennntrv. and zive the object les- f I son to other States. If Carolinians who u went to Nashville only accept one thing they ai saw in the Volunteer State it will be that much of a gain. Other States may catch 11 other ideas, but the Palmetto State could not ? do a wiser or a better thing than to model 1 her roads after the magnificent pikes that P traverse the section of Tennessee visited in a 8 trip incident to the Exposition. 81 When President Aull, of the State Press Association, announced that he had ar- S1 ranged for a trip to Nashville for the mem- 8< bers of the Association there was joy in the camp. The proposed trip was on pleasant as ~ well as profitable lines, and very many more !? than were able to go hoped to have that " pleasure. The newspaper man, however, J* cannot always arrange to get off when he elects. Mr. Aull thought of the conveniences a; of m?kine the trip in a Pullman car, and a " I happy suggestion it was, for it brought to- " gether a most congenial set of newspaper workers and was an economical plan. The af 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 sights of Nashville and " other villas: m President E. H. Aull, Herald and News, ei Newberry. Lieutenant Governor M. B. McSweeney, " Hampton Guardian.

It was arranged that the ladies of the party occupy the forward section of the sleeper, and the gentlemen of the excursion , did their sleeping, joking, frolicking, eto., ?: in the other portion of the car. V: THE RAILROAD MEN. 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. j Mr. J. H. Latimer, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis road, anticipated the J? arrival of the party on his road and came on to Atlanta with the tourists. The Western P' and Atlanta and the Nashville, Chattanooga j, 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 1D Passenger Agent Harmon, of the Western a' and Atlantic, hoped to go on with the Carolinians, but could not do so, and Mr. J. II. Latimer, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and / St. Louis Road, made the trip, and a pleasanter companion or better chaperon could rc not have been secured. The Western and ^ Atlantic passes through battlefield after bat- ' tlefield, and no one knows* more about them ! or their traditions than does Mr. Latimer. v' WAR SCENES ON THE ROUTE. A writer sasys: la none of the campaigns of the gigantic "war between the States" 8< was there a more notable display of adroit, r< wary, far-reaching strategic genius and pru- a dent, patient, watchful care on the part of a the great commanders; of zealous, skilful and fearless leadership by their field officers, or of more heroic bravery, fortitude and cheerful endurance by the soldiery, than in , those of 1863 and 1804, during which the world became familiar with the names of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringold, 81 Rocky Face, Dalton, llesaca, Altoona, Kenne- 11 saw Mountain and Atlanta. 31 Grant, 8herman, Sheridan, I'osecrans, * Thomas, McPherson, Scofield, Hooker, Corse, 1 Blair, Harker, Kilpatrick, Stoneman and a T half score of others scarcely less famous, who ' followed the "bright starry banner" of the f Union; while Brattc, and afterwards John ston, with Hardee, Hood, Polk, Longstreet, Cleburne, Breckinridge, Buckner, Forrest, * French, Walthall and Wheeler, with brother . chieftains as valiant and devoetd, showed j that the South had sent her brainiest and bravest to endeavor, with the fifty thousand n men, to stem the tide of invasion which was rolling through Georgia, the keystone State of the Confederacy, against Atlanta, which >. was then, as now, considered the "heart of c the South." ? It is along this route that the Western and Atlantic runs. r VISIT TO LOOKOUT MOUNT IAN. E I tl_i i. 1 __ m i Dm iu nurry on. ine party reacneu e Chattanooga about 1 o'clock, and after din- t nerwent out to Lookoat Mountain, one of v the most celebrated and historic works of c nature in America. Lookout Mountain is a fall of historic interest, and it affords a n sublime view of parts of Tennessee and c neighboring States, but what most attracted c the Carolina editors was the wonderful new p double cable incline. This incline is a con- 5 bination cable and electric line, and a won- o derful piece of railroading. Although it is i: only 4,800 feet in length, it covers a rise of y 1,680 feet. At the top of the "incline" the p car goes up almost perpendicularly, and the n bottom of the mountain seems miles and not v feet away. It is very much like going a mile b In an elevator, only the surrounding country p is taken in, and the situation is fully ex- v posed, while in an elevator there is no look- c tag up or down. Everyone went up the in- c cline, but when they did so they promised 1( themselves that they would not make the tl ascent again; once was enough for them. r At all events it is an experience worth s < the taking. The press party then went out t to Point Lookout to take in the surrounding c landscape. The books say that from Point Lookout one can see into seven Str.tes, viz; Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, t: North Carolina,South Carolina and Kentucky; ii ut. of course, the afternoon of the visit had ) be cloudy, and a full view could not he ained. It was not, however, too cloudy )r the enterprising photographer to get up auvenirs for the party. OH ICR AM AUG A BATTLEFIELD. The feature of the Jay's trip was the visit j the battlefield, now the park of Chickaiauga. History has put this down as one f the most sanguinary and important battles nd its terrific slaughter may be gathered rom these "official" figures: Rosecrans?Killed, 1,657; wounded, 0,75G: lissing 4,757; a large number of the missing rere killed. Total effective force 59,870; )ss 10,170. Bragg?Killed, 2,380; wounded 13,412: lissing 2,003. Total effective force, 03,557; >ss 17,804. Total loss of both armies 33,74. It is needless to relafe the ups and downs f the battle or of the valor of the troops, specially of those from South Carolina he poiut is that the Federal Government as bought and set aside a park of 5,500 :res as a national park. It was to this nrlr flint flio oTf>nr?innie(fl fnnk an afternoon rive. The Government has designated the ations of the various brigades with iron iblets stating the movements of the troops ad the States have been invited to place lonuments on the battle ground in honor of ie Boldiery. It is stated that there are bout 500 State monuments on the grounds, f South Carolina has had occasion to be roud of her soldiery in these engagements ic has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to iow it. The guides drive you by one Iniana and Illinois and Wisconsin and Michiin monument after the other, one hand>mer than the other, but the eye is wearied okingin vain for something to show that arolinians honor their dead, for no State ad braver or stouter hearts than those that illowed Capers and Walker and Kershaw ad the others through this engagement, he guide talks to you of the Confederates i being "the enemy" and you ride through ie miles of roadway wondering where there ?a1/JUwo 4a Pnaoorona n.nr1 CI C UUJ OUiUiCI O lu uguv AWUW* ? ??/ liomas. The only tablet the Carolinians iw that recalled home locating Kerrnw's brigade, at the foot of Snodgrass .ill. Carolina can hardly hope to erect onuments to her fallen soldiery on many of le battlefields, but when other States erect icm for regiments and brigades the Pal>etto State should, it appears, have pride lough in its record to at least raise a State onument among the eulogistic shafts lat record the final conquest of the authland. Those who go to Nashville should 2 sure to make the stop at Chattanooga, if ily long enough to take a hurried trip out i Chickamauga, which is about nine miles om the city of ChattanoogaSAKE IN THK BOCK CITY. Sunday morning the press pilgrims arved in Nashville, "the Rock City," as it called. It was a bright and pleasant day id gave the Carolinians a favorable first ipression of the city. Nashville is decideda city of hills and is all the more attrac ve as most 01 me promineiiv uuuumgo uic l high summits, the Capitol building, Yanjrbilt University, the Centennial structures, 1 stand out conspicuously because of the gh bills of the Rock City. To get a good ea of Nashville you can ride around and irough the city on the electric cars for a ickel. For instance seven miles out to lendale Park for a nickel and from the terinal station out to the Exposition for five ints. There are a number of cross town aes, which, together with the belt lines, ve a splendid opportunity tor "taking in" e city. NOT A CYCLING CITY. Bicycling ordinarily is a very good thing, id there arc few better and cheaper ways of seeing" a city than with a good "bike," but ashville is not built tor the cyclist. The lis and inclines are so numerous that there no pleasure in riding a bicycle, and for 10 ?* ~ fr\TTT wKflola OPA i A Igc ? ^1 tj uULUptii uuTty ivn nuvwio wtv vV ) seen. Nashville claims a population of 100,000, id no doubt she has it, if Atlanta has 80,K). President Aull arranged for the members the Press Association to attend the serces at the First Presbyterian Church and at irist Episcopal Church. Both services ere well attended, and at the Episcopal lurch very fine music was neard. THOSE PIOUS Il.VBlIERS. Although Nashville is reputed to be one the strongest denominational cities in ie country, and it has a great many strong lurches, it is a most cosmopolitan city, peritting great latitude in the observance of mday. While on the surfaca there ap;ars to be a strict observance, almost anyiing that is wanted can be obtained, either irough regularly open places or by means ' what Carolinians call ."blind tigers." bout the only gouge that was experienced i Nashville was for a shave on Sunday. It jpears that some time ago the "goody. )ody" barbers petitioned the General As:mbly to pass a law to prohibit Sunday irbering. Now when a person wants to get laved on Sunday he is run into some back torn, where there is half a dozen barbers at ork, and is charged twenty-five cents for te shave, on the ground that the barbers Eive to run the risk of being arrested for iolation of the law, the law which they lemsalves had passed. vou can go right :ross the street, and buy your cigars and )da water at regular prices and the bar joms, are anxious enough to sell you beer t five cents a schooner, or any other drink L the customary week-days prices. now TO VISIT NASH VILLK. A few hints about the practical side of a ip to Nashville may not be amiss. In the first place do not take any more aggage than is absolutely necessary. It ill only be in the way. There is no occaon for 8tyle in Nashville. By all leans take a satchel or telescope. If one itchel won't do, tase two^and unless you ant to be worried about the hauling of a runk and the uncertainty of getting it, and echecking it, leave it at home. Ladies in 'ashville wear shirt waists and crash of dark kirts, just as they do in Columbia or Chariton. In the next place always try to go fith some one else. This is not a case rhere "two is company and three a crowd." here are a dozen and one things in which i is more pleasant, more agreeaoie anu cerlinly more economical for a party of two or lore. A WORD AS TO BOOMS AND MEALS. When you get to town there is no need o rush to the most expensive hotels?you an get as good accommodations as you are ccustomed to at a thousand places, more or ess. Get a room at some hotel or private esidence, near the street car line. A good oom need not cost you more than $1 or $2 a light, if you are with a friend or friends the xpense will be reduced, dividing the cost of he room to 50 cents or$l at most. Nashilleis a cheap place to live. You can get a Viearv nlof<p fn litffl Ynn rnn frpt n. mpnl "" r i?? ? ? ?? ,nd a very good one, too, for 20 cents. Any leal will cost you from 20 cents to $1, acording to the style you put on, and the exellence of the service. Here is where a arty does good again. If you go to the laxwell House, the Utopia or any other f the larger restaurants or hotels, everything i on the European plan. You order what ou want and pay for what you get. Supose there are four at breakfast, there is no eed in the world to order four steaks, two rill be ample, the meal may be diversified y ordering two omelettes, and say,two ieces of pompano tish. The three dishes rill give each one a firstclass meal at the ost of a steak for one. In nine out of ten ases the joint order gives more variety at iss cost. No better meals need be wished ban those served nt any of the good hotels or nufonronfo TKft uftrtnftft iu finft orwl #hft teak something to be remembered. With he joint orders meals will average 50 or GO ents. THE CHEAP RESTAURANTS. But the 20 cent meals are very good, and housands patronize these restaurants. For nuance, on one day they will advertise this bill of fare, all for 20 cents: Fish, rice 11 Wo.l \nc\ ton ami I UIIIUKL'II, |iumiu, UilMi/n^v, U1VMVI, 1UV vv? pic. In alnioat every part of the city these 20-ccnts restaurants are to he found, and they are entirely respectable and serve very good meals; certainly 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 Gerst runs several cafes. At the Vienna restaurant a good square meal can be had for 35 cents. Here is a sample menu: Cream of chicken, fried black bass, prime roast beef, i baked ham with champagne sauce, mashed potatoes, new peas, bread pudding?and I they give you what is on the bill. Gerst has i " ' 1 , omcr resiauruuua ?uuc yuu wu uku . 3'ouwant, and in the woman's building there is a splendid cafe. So it will be seen that i one can eat cheap enough or as expensively i as desired while on the Exposition grounds. The service, (he food and the prices on the grounds aro vastly better than they were at the Atlanta Exposition. If you want to round off the day with a real feast take a * table d'hote dinner at the Maxwell for one dollar. i IIOW TO fiF.T TO TIIE KXPOSITION. The best and quickest way to the Exposition grounds is by way of the special trains i over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis I Kailread. This road runs a train every few minutes between the Union station and the Exposition grounds. The line is as convenient as was that of the Southern to the Atlanta Exposition; the fare is five cents. One i or two trips might well be made over the I electric street car line, which is more accessible, so as to see the beautiful residences and ' a part of the city proper. I Don't have your mail sent to any of the hotels, at leasi uo noi uo so unui juu gut there and arrange matters with the prince of the town?the clerk. The best idea is to have mail sent care of the general delivery and call at the postoffice daily or after you get to Nashville direct the postoffice to send it to some place where you are not liable to have a dozen people wanting something at the same time. i BEST ROUTE TO NASHVILLE. 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 and St. Louis and a better route could not be chosen. Then you can go to Atlanta or Chattanooga over the Southern or to Atlanta over the Georgia. You either have to go to i Atlanta or Chattanooga and from Chattanooga to Nashville over the Nashville, Chattanooga i 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 i run there or more trains westward daily, i during the Exposition. < STYLE OF THE EXPOSITION. I The Exposition itself is far too large an < o a /IaoamKo in t V? i a InHnr Tfifl 1 CUtCtpilO^ IV UWVUUV ALA buiu 1VVLV. . A?.w better to see it than to have some one tell I you of it. To begin with, one exposition is 1 very ;nuch like another. Atlanta was like < Chicago and so is Nashville. The general < impression is very much the same. The 1 buildings present much the same appear- : ?ncc, being on the same general lines and 1 made of frame, covered with "stuff." The Nashville grounds are, if anything, prettier < than those of Atlanta. Perhaps the pretti- f est view of the grounds and the best ensem- 1 ble of the buildings is to be had from the Rial- i to. 1 When it is stated that there are fortyfive 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 aaditorium is 1 "colonial in design and Ionic in treatment," j the mineral and forestry building is of the I "Iloman-Doric order of architecture." The woman's Duuuing is moaeueu somewntii after the Hermitage, and to this design some features of Grecian architecture have been added with pleasing effect," and so the many bildings practically all covered with 1 white stuff, varying in size and architectural lines, all go to make up the vast Centennial city. 1 The main buildings are: The Auditorium, the Administration building, the Parthenon, 1 History, Commerce, Minerals and Forestry, Woman's building, Chrildren's, Agriculture, Machinery, Negro, Railway Exhibits, United States Government, Transportation, Hy- ' giene and Education, Knozville, Illinois, Cincinnati, Louisville, and then comes the I score of smaller buildings and those on the Midway, or, as thoy call it in Nashville, "Vanity Fair." THE PARTHENON. < The Parthenon is considered the piece de < resistance, architecturally speaking, and the ' reports give this description of that struct- I ure: ; In the centre of the park, and on an elevated terrace, is the Parthenoon or Fine ' Arts Building. As the Parthenon, de- < signed under the direction of Phidias and < Ictinus, in the time of Pericles, at Athens, ] was the chief glory of all architecture, so 1 the Parthenon of the Tennessee Centen- | nial Exposition is the pride and chief glory i of the Centennial group. As it is to contain 1 invaluable works of art, it will be fire- 1 proof, with stone foundation, concrete 1 floor, brick walls, and glass roof in steel i frame; the exterior being ornamented in molded stuff in imitation of the original. Its fifty-eight fluted columns, and every de- I tail possible, are true to the original in de- < sign and coloring. There is a large door at 1 either end, opening upon the double column- < ed porticos, but no windows?light being ob- ' tained through the glass roof and from myr- ] iads of incandesceot lamps < The sculpture to be placed on the pedi- < ments metopes and frieze are in imitation of the original, and are in molded staff, fur- I nishintr an obiect lesson in classic architec ture not heretofore seen in this country. Ia 1 front of the Parthenon will be erected a stat- 1 ue of Pallas Athene, which, with the pedestal, will be forty feet high. Around the Parthenon all of the other beautiful edifioes are clustered. So it was when the original was 1 created by the immortal Ictinus and decorat- 1 cd the unrivalled Phidias. As their creation was the crowning glory of the Acropolis, so i will this, Its counterpart, erected twenty-four 1 centuries later, excel any in this constella- i tion of beautiful buildings. It is a notable i coincident that Nashville, known as the i "Athens of the South," should be the first to reproduce the ancient (ireek temple in all i its artistic beauty. 1 SIZE OK BUILDINGS. 1 Some idea of the size of the buildings may i be had by giving the dimensions of a few of i the structures, which are: Minerals and i kVirnafrtr hmlrtinrr 400 hv 12ft fopt ami nn i annex, altogether affording about 77,000 ! square feet; Machinery Hall, 375 by 138 i feet, with about 52,000 square feet; Agriculture building, 525 by 175 feet, with 100,000 < square feet; Transportation building, 400 by 120 feet?50,000 square feet; Commerce 1 building, 51(1 by 250 feet, and an extension : of about 250,000 square feet; Administration building; Woman's building, 1<;0 by 85 i feet; Auditorium, with seating capacity for i 0,000. TilK fiOVKRXMENT nt'ILDINO. If you were to ask which is the most inter- I esting building on the grounds it would be i proper to consider varying tasles in making | reply. But all in all the United States Government building is by far the most interest- I inc. general and elaborate of all in its dis plays. It, is an exhibition in itself, embrac- ; ing a department of war and marine exhibits, a department of zoology and piscatory, a department of art and science, a department of 1 ancient and modern history, a department of i invention, a department of philatella and a department of finance. i Every department is complete, the Government having spent years in securing and ar- 1 ranging the exhibts. For instance, the war i department displays specimen uniforms of i the soldiery from the days of the l'uritan up to the present, in another department is shown the evolutions of the firearms, guns, Fvnd cannon. The navy department show.' models of the war vessels, of the light house lights and houses, and other things connected with the service. The treasury departmen' has a specimen of every bill and bond print ed aud issued by the government as well as of the coin. The postoffice department, besides havinj millions of specimens of United States and foreign stamps, has a most interesting collcc' tion of dead letter relics, and illustrations of the progress of the postoffice servicc ic 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 dis play of fish. The State department shows many most unique and interesting letters md official proclamations in every conceivable language. A day can be profitably and pleasurably spent in Uncle Sam'u hall. The patent office exhibits is decidedly valuable, and in the great iihow, 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 s^hown. It if credited to South Carolina, 1829-30. The next in the line of railway evolution is the model of the "West Point," which was built at the West Point Foundery Works, in New York city, for the South Carolina Railroad, forwarded to Charleston by the ship Lafayette, and after several experimental trials in February, 1831, made the first excursion trip as above, l'he above refers to a drawing of the excursion train. Below the drawing are extracts from the Charleston Courier of January 17, 1831, ?nd March 12, 1831. In the account Ihe "barrier' is described. It is a flat cat loaded with six bales of cotton, between the locomotive and passenger coach, such as it was. The account states: "The trip to the Five-mile House, two and three-fourths miles, was completed in eleven minutes, when the cars were stopped to oil the axles about two minutes. The next two and a quarter miles to the forks of the Dorchestet lload were completed in eight minutes." l'he report says that the previous accidenl had been provided against by the "flang" which was made by Mr. Julius D. Petch, who worked with the South Carolina Railroad. Notwithstanding this they have out in the transportation department a model of the DeWitt, and itis marked the first locomotive and train in the United States. THE WOMAN'S JIUILDIXG But enough of this. Suppose the woman's building is visited. Like everything with which woman has anything to do all is neat ness and comfort about the building. There is the usual display of fine art and embroidsry, but there is this distinctive feature about the exhibit in the woman's building. In o :harming room there are several thousand volumes of books written by women. All ol ;he celebrated female authors have their writings in this hall and the management has ionc the best it could to get the publications )f others. The works of many female writers have been obtained through the publishers ind in such cases the finest bindings are prodded. South Carolina's place is not as conspicu)us as it might be if many writings were lvailable, but there is quite a creditable cola r\f .Qntifli Harnlinfl Wft. nen. The catalogue shows the following writings on file from this State: H. Cahill, scrap book of writings. B. Courtland, "Swamp Lilies of South Car)lina." K. Courtland, "Songs from Poetland." Mrs. F. W. Dawson, "The Ghost of a SunDonnet," "A Midsummer Madness" and "Me iuntie own Bilk Umbrolla." F. Deas, "The Little Match Girl." E. Ellis, "Writings." C. Oilman, Miscellaneous. C. Kirton, Poems. I. C. A. Moore, "Mizpah." Clarissa Packard, "Recollections of a Bousekecper." J. Peoples, scrap book of writings. H. II. Ravenel, Ashurst and. Life of Eliza Grace Raymond, "IIow they Kept the Faith." M. Richards, miscellaneous. I. Russell, poems, Virginia D. Young, "Beholding as in a Gilass;" "Tower in a Desert." Mrs. M. W. Coleman, "The BlueChrysan:hemums." Miss Blue, "The Hand of Fate." SOUTH CAROLINA NOT IN IT. South Carolina, as a State, has no exhibit in the grounds. There is nothing to show that South Carolina has any industries or mything else. There is no need to undertake to explain why there is no State exhibit. Suffice to say that while Utah and Mexico all have displays and invitations to settlers there is nothing from South Carolina sxcept the exhibit of the Harris Lithia Company. Mr. Harris never misses an opportunity to advertise his far-famed lithia waters and he has it on sale all over the grounds as well as in this city. Mr. Harris iias arranged a handsome booth to show the lithia water for which he is fiading suchn arge sale. Mr. Harris"will have the lithin waters advertised by the fireworks display n a few days. IIOW HISTORY IS ILMJSTR/tTEIl. One of the most inteiestiug buildings on the grounds is devoted to history. It contains exhibits and relics of the Rsvolutionary, Mexican and Confederate wars, and Anlrew Jackson, who is the special pride of I'ennessee at this time.bas a larg j place in the picture. There is an interestiag statement )n one of the walls in connection with the jivil war; it shows these figures: Forces engaged?Federal, 2,&5!),132; Confederate, 000,100. At date of surrender the armies stood? United States of America, 1,000,510; Confederate States of America, 272,025. The 17th South Carolina regiment lost at Manassas tiG 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 to relics of Andrew Jackson, and he seems to bave given the world no end of valuable relics. Governor llussell, in his speech, jlaimed Jackson as a native of North Carolina; the histories generally put him down as a North Carolinian, but in his brief, but capital talk with Gen. R. 11. Hemphill, gave t^iese historians some facts to think about, and if they are willing to accept facts and not fiction. they will admit that Jackson was born in South Carolina, as Gen. Hemphill showed. Gen. Hemphill's talk was one of the lew addresses made on such occasions that will he remembered and spoken of by those who seek facts. Lieutenant 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 News and Courier is a far better paper than any published in Nashville, insisted on calling the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina Mr. Sweeney *nd not Mr. McSweeney. VEIiltO EX III HIT A FAILURE. The negro building is quite large, and is not nearly 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 arc not as good as they should be. The only thing in the hall from South Carolina that w is seen was a frame of pictures, showing the faculty of Benedict University at Columbia. A native of Dahomey and a prize trick horse seem to be the chicf attractions in this hnildinor. The pity is that the coloored race docs not accept such opportunities to show the world what it is doing, and can do, instead of exhibiting pictures, a few pieces of bought inechauisni, some handwork and cases of embroidery and crocheting. VANITY FAIR. "Vanity Fair" is to Nashville what the Midway was to Chicago and Atlanta. There i is something there to suit the young and the s old, the women and the men.

The hurried trip to Belle Meade stock farm was one of the pleasant incidents of the trip. Gen. Jackson, a typical Southerner, owns a blue grass farm 5,000 acres ' on which he raises horses, cattle, vegetables > and with all wa3 a handsome home. Gen. t Jackson is a great admirer of Calhoun and South Carolina, and took special pleasure in entertaining the Carolinians, Gen. Jackson is the ower of "Iroquois," Duke Blackburn and other celebrated horses. He has about 200 head of thoroughbred and graded cattle, splendid dairy, and a game preserve stocked with deer and game. I PRESS RESOLUTIONS. The members of the Association had such a delightful time that they could not fail to ' pass appreciative resolutions as follows: Whereas, the State l'ress Association of < South Carolina is about to conclude a most i delightful and enjoyable excursion, after the i adjournment of the Association in Newberry, i it is a pleasure to offer the following resolui tions: > First. That the unqualified thanks of ' the members are due and are hereby tendered the authorities of the Western and * Atlantic, and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads, and especially to Mr. C. > E. Harman and Mr. J. 11. Latimer, of the respective lines, for attentions and favors shown the members. Second. That the members extend their thanks and appreciation to the management of the Nashville Centennial Exposition, and n-vrxnnaa ihn KnnP fVin_f tllPV Will hft to TG v*l"vuo ""r j ciprocate the attentions shown them. Third. That the special thanks of the i Association are due and are hereby expressed to all of the railroads of South Carolina > for transportation offered, and especially to the the management of the seaboard Air - Line, the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens, the Atlantic Coast Line and the South Caro lina and Georgia roads. Fourth, That it gives the members of the ' Association very great pleasure to accept the 1 hospitality of Mr. J. T. Harris, and to par1 take of the healing waters of Harris Lithia 1 Springs. 1 Fifth. That during the stay in Nashville the members are under special obligations to Mr. Jones, of the department of publicity; to Gen. W. II. Jackson for the privilege of visit-1 1 ing the Belle Meade farm, and to Governor ' Taylor, for courtesie3 shown the press ot ' South Carolina. The thanks of the Associ! ation are due Bernhardt Brothers & Spindler for badges. NASHVILLE NOTES. One of the new. presses for putting up round bales of cotton is on exhibition on the grounds. The Exposition management has done a 1 popular thing by making the price of admission to the grounds after 0 o'clock 25 cents The "brokers" about the city use pianos to attract crowds. To do as the Romans do in Rome you will have to run your time-piece back an hour in Nashville. The signs on the Exposition 1 grounds read: "Keep on the walk," instead Ui LUC U1U U1UC I1CCJ/ UU l/UC giaoo. Mr. Larry W. Boyd, of Laurens, and Mr. Foster Hamilton, of Columbia, are doing well in Nashville. A great deal of the goods sold ! within a radius of thirty or forty miles of Nashville are sold out on wagons, thanks to the fine roads. The Tennessee State Capitol is not as new 1 as that in Columbia and the Assembly balls look like Cooper and Taylor's Hall. The railroads have done much to make the Nashville Exposition the success that it is, yet they say on the stage that love is the only thing the Louisville and Nashville Road - does not control about Nashville. There were several exceedingly pretty ' young ladies with the Carolina Press Associ ' ation. The Confederate Veterans will find a warm reception in Nashville. 1 Such delightful trips as the one to Nashville make the members anxious to want an1 other trip next season, especially with President Aull to arrange the details.

Riad what he has to say in his new advertisement. The old story of Prometheus is a parable. Prometheus was on terms of intimacy wiih the gods. From them he stole fire, and gave it to men. For this sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount Caucassus, and vultures were set upon him. Thev only ate his liver. This grew again as fast as it was pecked away. Are his sufferings to be imagined? Take a modern interpretation of the parable. There is no cooking without fire. In cooking and eating this mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels become clogged, they cannot dispose of the food that is given them. The impurities back up on the liver. Then come the vultures? the torments of a diseased liver. Dr. fierce s uuicien uucicai .L/iscuvery is more than equal to the vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred diseases.

"'TIS LOVE THAT flAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND." Some people think money Is a greater power than love. Oh ! What a mistakeI See how the great money kings are controlled by the little boy Cupid! See how the great soldiers and men of power are twisted around his little fingers! A woman's most precious possession Is the capacity for awakening pure and noble love. More potent than wit or intellect is the womanly capacity for happy wifehood and motherhood.
