This can vias is about live yards long and ton yards wide. The border is an artis tic arrango'nent of tea loaves and the olfeot, of tha whole is one of the most attractive pictures in the building. Below this are grouped colored pho. tographs of "The Pines," Flat Rock, NortbCarolina;Ashoville, North Caro lina, with its semicircle of magnifi cent peaks in the distance, the ro mantic valley of the French Broad river and Round Knob with its foun tain in the center of the picture. There are other colored photographs which toll both of tho beauty and progress of Dixie, notablo among which is that of the Olympia Cotton Mills, Columbia, South Carolina. There are rows of glaws jars contain ing the various products produced in the lands adjacent to the Southern Railway. Conspicuous among those are fruits and vegetables from Ten nessee, sea island cotton from the Charlotte Oil Mills, Charlotte, North Carolina, cotton seed oil, oats, wheat, hay, corn, fruits and vegetables of every description from Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, 'i'en nessee, Virginia, Illinois and India na, with inumerablo photographs of important cities and towns, mining and timber districts, manufacturing and commercial centers and of the most productive agricultural districts. There is also an exhibit of tea raised near Fayetteville and Pinehurst, North Carolina. In short it is a con densed exhibit of the marvelous re sources or the entire Southland. This exhibit as I write is thronged with people from every part of the coun try who are profuse in their expres sions of admiration of the manner in which the exhibit is installed, and of the splendid resources of the section through which this railroad runs. I have hoard soine people, especially during political campaigns call the Southern R1ailIroad "an octopus." However true or false this may be I am not in a position to say, but here on the Pan-Amorican grounds it rep resents the resources of the Southland better than any other single exhibit at the Exposition. Its practical value must be seon to be appreciated. Tho woodwork in front of the exhibit is tastefully clone ini the curled pine for which the South is famous. The background of the exhibit is wvme colored felt. Tendrils of gray moss, clusters of rich mahogany colored tobacco leaves, sheaves of- rice, rye, oats and wheat are so arranged against this bright background as to make a most effective ensemble, At base of the exhibit there are sev amed placards containing sen of which the following are "The South has 80,800 al lands-The iron wonderfulin mar of am1 iutracuve ton'ures to his pavil ion. The wood in which Mliss.,uri's exhibit is installed is paintad pale blue with an ornamental frieze run ing its entire length made of corn, kilir corn and other cereals. \l r. Crumbi.ugh is a glib talker when Missouri and her resources aro his thom. lie says: "Missouri took the honors at Omaha and Chicago in the Agricultural Building for the bost and most varied oxhibit of agri cultural products. The advantage she has over all tho other States in the Union is that of location. In 1900 she raised forty thousand bales of cotton. In the southern portion of the State we havo a complete line of tobaccos and all varioties of wool of this year's shearings, two.ty-four varieties of wheat and ninoeton va rieties of oats besides all grades of cotton. Besides the agricultural products, we have on exhibit here twenty-oight di loront brands of flour." In the middle of the pavilion is an old fashioned corn crib made of wire surmounted by an oar of corn that Baron Munchausen could not make a credulous public believe over grow on any corn stalk. It is twenty seven inches long and four and a half inches in diameter. Over the private ontranco of Mr. Crumbaugh is a large coat arms of the State of Missouri, with the miotto Salts Po puli Supremo Lex Esto conspicuous ly displh.)-d in large letters on ayol low bcck ground. Uut it wouldn't be safe for emigrants to go down to the State expecting to raise cars of corn the size of the one Mr. Crum baugh exhibits on top of his corn crib made with corn kernels and wire. Next to that of the State of New York the largest agricultural exhibit that comes from any State in the Union is that of Louisiana. Here, too, there are some mammoth objects exhibited for the delectation of our northern brethren: Mr. Glonk of New Orleans, the Superintendent of the pavilion, has resorted to a clover ruse to make the visitors to the Pan American Exposition believe that cotton troes grow in the Pelican State. In a conspicuous place in his exhibit he has what ho labels a "cotton stalk." The background is a dark green against which are dis played,arches and clusters of palms. The pictures, many of which are very attractive, are hung against these clusters producing an effect at once artistic and pleasing. On thirty-five tables are displayed in various at tractive groups the immense resources of the Pelican State. Jorusalcim corn, pearl millet, sugar sorghums, etc., are among the forage plants. Rice, miniature bales of twenty-two dilferent varieties of hay, including the valuable alfalfa and thirty-ono varieties di peas are displayed. There is a large exhibit, of Spanish moss which is dried and sold as veg table hair. Big Ben, the sweet pota to weighing 122 pounds commenced to sprout three weeks ago and the vine has climbed over the top of the case which contains thirty five varie ties of sweet potatoes. "Big Ben" is keeping up with his reputation and it looks as if be will climb out of the window before t". arrival of Louisi ana Day. Blocks of sulphur a foot square are piled on one of the tables. Mr. Glenk says: "Sulphur of 98 per cent. purity is fodnd throughout the Southern part of the State. it is mined by driving twelve inch weils to the deposit of sulphur and insert ing asix inch inner tube. Th le super heated steam is sent down the out side pipe and the meited sulphur is pumped up on the-inside and caught woden cisterns and allowed to aide of' the entrance writ ters on a white back sentences: "New arcial exporium ural gateway to South miles ports. ar sugar crop ........... $35,()00 000 Cotton ............... ,()00 000 Rico ................ 8,000 000 Corn ................ 12,500 000 Ot.er crops... ...... 5,E00 000 1(0,000 00 Acros ill (iltiViation 3,000,000.

Otts, layor of Groonsboro, Alabama, and one of the leading politicians of his State is her) wit a it party of friends at. tonding tho "'xlp,)ositionl.

The grounds too are lovely, t he color el'ect charm ing. In fact I so0 written im fullest detail the story of the progress of the mighty Caucasian race. I am delighted at the prospects of the success of the Exposition. Am ,pleased with the Midway and am proud that Alabama is so well repro sented in attendance. Hundreds of our people have come and many are coming daily. The railroad excur sion rates 1" 3ro are nearly four times higher though than they wore to Chicago. I do not say it its a cit,i zon of the State, but as a thinking person cannot refrain from saying that I am surprised at the marvelous display made by Alabama. In its brief time for preparing an exhibit it did wondrously well. Its products compare favorably with those of the best States in the Union and its remarkable progress is due to its vast resources and wonder ful climate fortility. Alabama I find is the best advertised State in the grounds. Mr. R. W. Gorman who has charge of the exhibit is an entertaining and tireless talker and has made a brilliant success of the State's affairs. In addition to his other duties he corresponds for all his State papers, procures accono dations for all Alabamians and looks after their comfort. It was indeed an auspicious day for Alabama when it made its exhibit and sent Mr. Gor man here. I am glad to say that the Buffalo people are very kind and hospitable and Alabamians who write co our State exhibit before coming can live here much cheaper than they can in the hotels at home." The other lay at the Louisiana and Texas Rice Kitchen a dinner was given to the local newApaper people hero. Mr. H. L. Guoydan of the Oeydan News, a large rice plan toe-, sat at one end of the table and Col. Eggleston at the other. Rico cooked in every conczivablo wary made up the menu. Chicken Glum bo0 fili soup was first served. In the bottom of each plate was a softL shell crab, an innovation hitherto unheard of here, though everybody accepted it with a honrty approbation as the Creole way of beginning a dinner. The pice do resistance was a Span ish dish of rico, chicken, onions, to matoes, spices, etc., stewed up to gether which was doelicious. It was prepared for the occasion by Mr-s. H-. L. Gueydanr anid when the plates were changed everybody drank to her health in the line old sherry which was served with it. I have eaten rice p)repared in a similar wvay in the Orient where royalty itself is fond of it. The young Queen of Italy is said to cook rico in this way so successfully that she frequently used to prepare it for the late King Humbert. In Russia and Greco it is a favorite dish and with the addi tion of a little grated cheese and to. mato sauce it is the famous iRussian "pilafT" which 'the traveler finds on the bill of fare in the finest hotels in that country and its neighbors. Trhe chief in the Louisiana Rice Kitchen knows how to cook rice without breakimg the grain or making it "soggy."~ Col. Eggleston has several experts at the head of who;n is Miss Ella WV. Gould, who demonstrates the proper method of cooking this valuable and healthy grain. The dinner in the lVice Kitchen ended with rice ice cream, black coffee, Rioqueford eese, crackers and benedictions. ood many toasts were drnnk in hLouisiana, her rico products er courtous representatives ured.
