THE GBEATEST AND MOST
MAGNIFICENT EXPOSITION
EVEK HELD IN THE
SOUTH.
A Show That Everyone Should See
The questions most frequently esked con
cerning the Cotton States and International
' Exposition, now in full completeness in the
City of Atlanta, are. "is it w?rtb going to
see?" and ''how does it compare with the
World's Fair?"
To the first I answer "Yes; decidedly yes."
If one can afford the expense cf the trip, it
will be neglecting the opportunity of the
decade to fail to visit Atlanta and carefully
inspect the exhibits in detail. The plans of
the Exposition were conceived on a grand
scale, and the plans bave been executed to
the last detail in a magnificent manner. The
buildings are not merely vast halls for the
accommodation of a beterogenous collection
- of the natural and manufactured products of
the South, but are striking examples of
architectural beauty aod artistic coloring,
so disposed on grounds that are strikingly
beautiful, for nature and the art of the
landscape gardener have united in making
them so, to make one harmonious whole.
From the central area end Clara Meer
the grounds rise in successive terraces,
green with closely mown grass, on either
hand; and each terrace accommodates its
quota of buildings Tbe view -from !be
summit of tbe higher terraces, across the
Exposition grounds, takes in ut a single
glance of the delighted eye, tbe various
buildings, sparkling Clara Meer, tbe green
ares, the gaudily colored and queerly shaped
structures on Midway Heights, and tbe bills
beyond, shaded by tbe blue baze in tbe f<tr
away perspective. It is not, however, a picture
of still life, attractive simply on account of tbe
innate beauty of the scene, buta setting of
beauty, filled with hurrying crowds in wbicb
all types of men and women to be found
on the American continent, from Canada to
the Argentine Republic, and quite frequently
tbe unspeakable Turk, with Sowing robes
aod tnrbaced bead, and the stolid-faced
Chinese are to be seen touching elbows with
the white man and the negro. Tbe bum and
clatter of machinery and tbe buzz of dyna
mos float on the breeze from Machinery Hall
and the Electric Building.
"la tbe Exposition worth seeing?" Yes,
even if tbe great and ioteresticg city of At
lanta were not at its back
Read what President Collier says of the
influence of the Exposition on tbe future of
the South and then ask yocr*elf whether it
is worth seeing :
"It is impossible to say what will be tbe
ultimate influence of th? exposition on the
commerce of the Southeast. That it will be
widespread and lasting no one can doubt.
'Bat if we have an object lesson for the
world we bave no leys a lesson to learn our
selves. If we have invited those who are
our superiors now in manufactures to display
their products at the Exposition it has been
to tbe end that we may lenrn from tbem
wherein they excel and profit by their ex
perience.
The people of the Sooth are confident in
their strenbtb to do and accomplish, aod
though tbey bave been handicapped in some
ways tbey have no fear of tbe ultimate out
come of their struggle for commercial su
premacy in certain linee. Tbe future alone I
will show all that can be done in a land fa
vored by nature by a people who have shown
in tbe past that tbey know bow to endure
and triumph over desolation, and who will
prove by their future th&t tbey can pass
safely though the still more trying dangers
of success. Whatevertbat future-may un
fold in the line of commercial prosperity, its
complete birth must date from the Cotton
States and International Exposition, wbicb
stands a witness to the world cf the fact of
our commercial independence.'*
''flow does the Cotton States and
International Exposition compare with
the World's Fair?" It is a diffi
cult matter to compare the two at
all, and impossible to make a comparison on
a basis fair to tbe Atlanta Exposition. The
World's Fair was backed by tbe almost
boundless influence of tbe National Govern
ment aod millions of its wealth, besides the
great wealth of Chicago. There was nothing
local nor sectional, nor even National in the
conception aod scope of tbe World's Fair.
It was continental, for it was commemorative
of the discovery of a new world, and was in
tended to show what this new world bad act
complished after four huodred years of devel
opment. Money was more than ahondan
and was spent without stint, and the whole
world was drawn on for exhibits All tbe
world was there and we of this generation
wili never see its like agaio
The Ccttoo States aod International Ex
position was sectional in conception and was
iotended to show 10 tbe remaioder of this
coootry and the world ?t large tbe resources,
present development and tbe possibilities of .
the South and Spanish American countries.
The National Government lent its counten
ance, but not its influence, nor did it con
tributi freely of its wealth The city of At
lanta conceived aod created tbe Exposition
aod succeeded io interesting, not only this
country and South America, in the under
taking, but a large portion of the world.
Atlanta's handiwork is good and she and tbe
visiting thrones can behold it and declare it
good. Tbe World's Fair was magnificent
for the world ; tbe Atlanta Exposition is
more than that for tbe South.
To particularize briefly and tell of what
tbe Exposition consists can best be done by
enumeratiog the buildiogs.
The principal structures are the Adminis
tr?t: 0x1 Building, 440 feet long, 50 feet wide
and three stories in height : Electrical Build
ing. 260 feet long, 35 feet wide and 109 teet
to the ceotre of dome; Machinery Building,
118 feet wide, 500 feet long and 80 feet high ;
Fine Arts Building, 245 feet long, 100 feet |
wide and 50 feet high ; Woman's Building
150 ft et long, 126 feet deep and 90 feet to top
of statue on central dome; Transportation
Building, 450 feet long, 150 feet wide, and
68 feet high, with two end galleries 48x117
feet ; Auditorium, 200 feet long, 135 feet j
deep, aod four stories bigb, wi;b mt-zzaoir.e !
storica; Manufactures aod Liberal Art3 i
Building, 356 fest long, 206 feet wide, and 90 I
feet higb ; Agricultural Building, 304 feet !
long, 50 feet wn?e, and 110 feet high; Negro I
Building, 276 feet long, 112 feet wide, and
70 feet bigb.
These buildings can bs seen and the ex- j
hibiis given tbe cursory inspection that !
satisfies the average visitor within tbree days I
and tbe Midway sbowe and the fakirs visited i
also.
Tb3 Administration Building is the most
interesting to maoy, but to the writer the
boildiog of the Georgia Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, which contains nothing save articles
manufactured in Georgia, was pre-eminently
tbe most interesting and instructive, for it
was an object lesson of what is being doue in
tbe South 10 all lines of manufacturing in
dustry. Tbere is not an uninteresting build
ing 00 tbe grouods, however, a?d what one
person will find interesting will not detain
another longer than a few minutes.
The South Carolina txhibit iu the Agri
cultural Building was the most agreeable
surprise met with at the Exposition. It is so
much more extensive and representative than
had oeen anticipated that we visited daily
and compared it with the exhibits of other
States with a feeling of satisfaction that our
State made a showing as creditable as any and
much better than many. The exhibits of
cotton goode of many kinds from South
Carolina mills attract the attention cf crowds
and excites the favorable comment of all who
inspect them. The specimens of timber and
agricultural products are second to none :n
the building, while the display cf minerals is
so extensive that those who are unacquainted
with the State are surprised. The work Mr.
Roche has done deserves a vote of thanks
from the State of South Carolina, he having
accomplished wouders with the meane at his
disposal. But it is a useless task to attempt I
to speak of the exhibits, in a newspaper j
article; at best but a bird's eye view can be ;
given. Those who would know more mu3t
see the Exposition for themselves.
The South Carolina State Press Associa
tion, which visited the Exposition in a body
last eek is a unit in commending the Expo
sition and as a member of that Association
the writer endorses everything that has been
said of the Exposition and the trip.
Leaving Colombia on Wednesday the 16th
instant the trip was made to Atlanta ovrr the
Seaboard Air Line in a special coach attached
to the regolar passenger train, and it was
quickly and pleasantly made. Arriving in
Atlanta the Association was quartered at the
Oriental, Hotel, one of the best and most
comfortable of the new hotels, where arrange
ments bad been made by the efficient Secrr
tary, Mr. C. C. Langston who had gone
ahead and spied out the land.
The evening of the association's arrival it
was entertained at a reception in the room3
of the South Carolina Society of Atlanta
The Carolinians resident in Atlanta extended
the most cordial welcome to the visiting
newspaper men that the writer has ever been
privileged to witness. We were made wel
come by Carolinians in true Carolina fashion,
and as long as we were in Atlanta the rooms
of the society were open to the member of
the association. Speeches were made by
President W. P. Calhoun, Mr Thad. E.
Horton, Judge Wilkes, and others on behalf
of the society, and responses made for the
association by President Aull, .Vir. J. C.
Garlington of the Spartanburg Herald, Col.
J. A. Hoyt, and others who were etiled on.
The Association, and its members individ
ually, received numerous courtesies and at
tentions that will ever be pleasantly remem
bered as bright spots in an unt?sually pleasant
excursion.
AS TO EXPENSES.

sition need have no forebodings of extortion
ate charges, for there arc none, as far as the
