Governor Hill in Atlanta. ALAXTJL, Oct. 16.-The gates of the Piedmont Exposition were opened to? day in welcome to Governor Hill, of New York. Escorted by Governor Gordon and staff, and many leading cit ^ixens of the Southern States, Governor Hill was met at the big building with hearty applause from ac immense crowd of people. He spoke of industrial pro? gress of the South and the good wishes -of the North in all that tended to pro? mote the harmony of the sections, and dwelt on the large industrial and me? chanical strides the South had made since the war. He did not preach poli? ties until be reached the close of his re? marks, when he said : " In the field of industrial enterprise you have great opportunities. Your re? sources are inexhaustable ; see that they - are not monopolized. You have a cen? tury of industrial progress in the North to study and profit by ; avoid our mis? takes. Discourage such legislation as tends to enrich the classes at the ex? pense of the masses. Diversify your industries so that your invested capital may be more permanent and remunera? tive, and production may not be over? done by the pursuit of narrow lines of enterprise. It is withio your power to do much toward securing more equit? able relations between employers and employed. ts? 14 Thus far you have been particular? ly fortunate in avoiding disastrous labor : agitations. Your workingmen here 'have been reasonably content. Bat this * Bas been largely due to the quality of your, labor and the nature of your in? dustries. When there shall be collected in your manufacturing cities large bodies of workingmen ; when rivalry for employment aud good wages shall ' have become keener, you will have to a?et seri?os questions, and if you would tate warning from the North's experi? ence, you will prepare to meet them BOW; Yonr employers must realize -what ours h av? been slow to realise, that ODO man's rights are the rights of an? other, and that that policy is bestin business enterprise, as els inhere, which ia founded Upon that of human conduct, . to do unto others as you would have j them do unto you.* ?iet the benefits of your prosperity be enjoyed, not by the few who would use them for their own selfish ends, but encourage that ?road human charity ' ?hieb looks to the greatest good of the greatest number, remembering that that s ?tate of society is highest in which in? telligence and wealth are most equally distributed. g|b "'You have within your borders vast numbers of au unfortunate and long-oppressed race, left suddenly by the result of war to their own resources, untutored, superstitious and helpless, bot patient, doeile and ambitious. It is yonr interest, as it is your duty, to lift them ont of the estate in which fate has placed them, and help them to assume - the responsibilities of citizenship. You have an enormous labor class-black and white-the mass of them not yet l sufficiently stirred by the spirit of prog? ress to be conscious of their own inter? ests and their own power; they will not always remain so; you can do a great deal ?*o avert a clashing of interests by wise legislation, by proper regard for sanitary laws in your cities, by the es? tablishment of institutions to encourage savings, by the erection of comfortable Mmes, by economy in public expendi? ture and in private life. "The experience of the la3t twenty years h as proved to you the advantage ?#free labor. Most of you will remem? ber the predictions of your statesmen before the war, that without slaves toe South could not profitably produce cot? ton; yet, with free labor, you have rais? ed more cotton in the last ten years than you raised in the twenty years be? fore Sumter was fired on, notwithstand? ing that only a part of your population has been engaged in this industry, and that in the meantime your mauufactur ing centers have become formidable rivals of the North. "I believe that the Sooth is to play a great part in working out the destiny of . our reunited osti?n In her courage, in ber hopefulness, in her integrity, in her loyalty and enthusiasm, in the pub lie spirit of her statesmen, in their faith? ful adh?rence to political conviction, sod in their deep duty to public trusts, I behold qualities which will preserve ""intact the theory of our governmental system, strengthen our institutions and redonod to the glory and prosperity of our country. "lt is sometimes said in the North that the South is solid. It is solid for good government, for the welfare of its people, solid for integrity ii private and official life, solid in its opposition to a paternal administration of public affairs, solid against congressional extravagance, solid in its renonciation of the errors of the past, solid for American ideas, solid to hs devotion to the new nation, solid io its aspirations for a higher civi? lisation and solid for all that wouid make us a prosperous and powerful re? public. Of such solidity I am not afraid. I see no dangers in such unity as springs from the noblest motives, and subserves the most exalted patriotism/' -World. How to Make a Eolian Harp. Have any of our young friends ever seen an aeolian harp ? It is a musical instrument made by the Greeks many centuries ago and hung among the trees or where the wind could blow upon it, making a low, soft musical sound. The Baptist Weekly tells how to make one, which is very easily done and inexpen? sive, for most of ?he material can be found about the house. " Wax a piece of buttonhole twist about two anti a half feet long; tie each end strongly toa small peg and thrust the pegs down the crevice between the two sashes of your southern or western window, stretching the silk as tight as possible. It will surprise yoo, the sweeto< ss and variety of the tones thc wind will bring from it. Having done this you may be moved to go farther and prepare a more elaborate aeolian harp. " Take some quarter-ioch wood and make a box the length of vour window frame, four or five inches deep and six or seven inches wide. Bore a few small holes in a circle near what will be the upper side of the back of the bos, when placed in the window with the open side of the box,fasten two bridges like violin bridges, one at each end, and stretch 'on them several strings of fine catgut, contriving a series of screw pins to aid Is the tight stretching necessary, and allow of their being tuned to one note. Theo raise your sash on the windy side nf the boase, and the wind passing through the hole and over the strings will in its rising and falling make very sweet mask.'* The Knights of Honor have paid to the families of deceased members in j the past 6 years of their existence, ?27,500,000. The first demonstration of the strength of the Farmer's Alliance in politics will be given at the coming primary election for Senator in Kershaw County. There appears to be a square issue between Alliance and anti-Alli? ance Democrat-s, each side having a candidate in the field. One of the church letters read at the annual meeting of the Philadelphia Association contained this : "We are spiritually dead, but we thauk God that things are with us as they are." The Rev. Dr. Murdock turned ro the Rev. J. T. Beckley, D. 1)., and said : "That reminds me of a \ouog man | who arose iu my meeting when I was a young pastor and said: 'Brethren, I am a great sinner, aud I am determined to hold our to the cud.' "-Richmond Re? ligious Herald. ALES of Army life, and Lo ve, and Chivalry os the Frontier, are always fascinating-and doubly so when they come from the pen of so able a writer as Capt. Chas. Hing, author of "DUNRAVEN RANCHI" This Great American Story will be Om Next Serial Attraction. ! The Boston Journal of Commerce, j noticing a large lot of unbleached 40 ! inch sheetings from a Southern cotton \ mill for sale in one of Boston's ! large retail stores at 7-^ cents a yard, ?says: "This seems to emphasize what j has long been apparent-that New i England cotton mills must go into I fine and fancy goods, and leave to the South the coarser and plainer fabrics."
