THE WORLD’S
GREATEST FI.
Opened in St- Louis Last Saturday,
April 30th-
GREAT ACHIEVEMtNTS MADE-
The Fair Is Ready for Its Visitors
and People are Amazed at
Its Immensity.
BY CLAUDE H. WETMORE.
The s;ory of man’s achievement
in every part of the world is now
told daily to the thousands who
visit the great world’s fair at St.
Louis, the gates to which were
opened on April 30.
It is told in moving machinery,
in processes that are going forward
to completion, and in finished pro
ducts; it is told again in flow
ers and in fruits; it is told in the
peace products of education and in
the war products that frown upon
one from government hill and those
that are gatheied under canvas.
From the golden victory, aloft
on the hall of festivals, to the sil
very surface of the lagoons, the
story is told under the sunray; it is
repeated at night when the palaces
seem aflame and the Cascades are
resplendent with phosphorescent
fire.
Those to whom the story is told
stand spell-bound before some of
the chapters. The giant prime
movers in the palace of machinery
cause a silence that is akin to fear;
the beauties of the throbbing water,
tumbling fastastically down the
inclines from the colonnade of
states, exercise a hypnotic spell,
the wonders of the Orient, spread
before you by the workers from
China, japan aud India, result in
mystification.
It is not until one leaves the fair
grounds and bis mind is free from
the ever occurring attractions that
he has time to marvel at the glory
and the greatness of it all.
Open to everyone now is this
achievement of a century and a
year —the culmination of all that
has been done in the wide expanse
of territory purchased from France
in 1803 and the achievements of all
nations in the world since that day.
The gates are open, the crowds
are pouring in, it is a gala scene
everywhere, and the air pulses with
sound waves from martial bauds
that are pealing forth the refrain
of this great peace conquest.
In comfortable, rapidly moving
cars visitors are carried over the
Intramural railway and many thus
obtain their first idea of the mag
nitude of this St. Louis display.
Starting near the Lindell boule
vard entrance, they are carried on
a straightway track a distance of a
mile, between a row of giant exhi
bition palaces on the left and the
curious building on the pike on the
the right. Then the train skirts a
lawn, crosses a trestle and curves
around the handsome buildings of
the administration group, struct
ures of pink granite that have been
universally admired for their
architecture. Beyond these a field
is reached and the stadium is
pointed out, its wide expanse
already in condition for the inter
esting Olympian games and other
athletic contests.
Totom poles standing in front
of the Alaskan village seem to nod
at you as the cars pass, and in the
distance are the thatched roofs of
Philipino habitation and the white
walls of Manilla buildings in
replica- On the left again is the
giant palace of Agriculture, the
largest building in the world,
beyond which is horticulture, and
after climbing a grade, the traiu
pulls into a wooded area, to emerge
behind the art palace on the
plateau of states. Down grade
again you go in the vicinity of the
government group, aud passing
miues and metallurgy and the
gulch adjacent you reach the main
entrance once more. The magni
tude of this world’s fair cannot be
better sent home to one than by
the statement that forty-five min~
utes were consumed in making
that round trip on the Intramural.
Follow that throng of people
and you come to the banks of the
lagoons that are dotted with gon
dolas aud electric launches Hark
to the medley of sound as the
swish of the cascades joins the
music of the band that is playing
on the plaza, and above all rise the
notes of a song from the gondolier
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
who is swinging his craft under
the bridge on which you stand.
Alive is the water, alive are the
broad thoroughfares, alive are the
great buildings, and you are told
that in a few weeks alive also will
be the air, for then the balloon
contests will be in full sway.
Now you fully comprehend what
was meant when word was sent
forth by the exposition manage
ment that this should be a world's
fair in which the revealment of
processes should be paramount.
It is one continuous panorama from
the time you eater the gates until
you leave again.
Visit the palace of machinery
and you see in motion giant
engines, some of them occupying
as much space as does a three
story house. Their ponderous
beams rise and fall, great fly wheels
revolve and glittering pistons
glance in and out. They are liv
ing exhibits from all the manufac
turing centers of the world and
are supplying power to evervthing
on the site —a power represented
by forty thousand horses all pull
ing together.

Rev. D. T. Bourne, of Fluharlee,
was made stated clerk and Mr.
Jordan, elder, of Rockmart, was

The preaching during the ses
sions was very fine and afforded
the people a rare opportunity for
hearing the gospel entertainingly
presented, and there was a good
attendance at each session.
The opening sermon was preach
ed by Rev, Mr. McCalla, of La-
Fayette, the retiring moderator.
Thursday, at xi a. m. Rev. Mr.

shape quite satisfactory.
By resolution the Cartersville
church was allowed to prosecute
its call on the Presbytery of Ten
nessee for the securing of Rev, Mr.
Cleveland for its vacant pastorate.
Delegates were elected to the
General Presbytery, which meets
at Mobile, on the 19th instant.

FOUND DEAD
IN IRE WOODS.
The Body of a Miner and Wooc-
Chopper Found Near Emerson.
DIED FROM HEART FAILURE.
HIB Name Wee Samuel Forbes— He
Wee from Indiana, and Reported
to Be Well Connected.
Last Thursday afternoon Mr.
J. H. Dunahoo, the manager of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.’s
mining interests around Bartow,
discovered the body of a man in
the woods on the company’s pos
sessions near the wheeler place,
east of Emerson.
The condition of the body was
one bordering on decomposition,
death having evidently occurred
several days previous. The body
was recognized as that of Samuel
Forbes, who had been in the serv
ice ©f the company for a short
while, and, having finished a task
of chopping a lot of wood, had
gone out to take it up. Forbes
had been complaining some, and it
is supposed took very sick while
at work, and died from heart fail
ure alone in the woods.
Coroner J. H. Harrison was sum
moned. and held an inquest over
the body. The coroner’s verdict
was to the effect that the man came
to his death probably from heart
failure.
Forbes was about 55 years of
age. It is said he was for a long
time a gold miner in the west.
He was originally from Indiana,
and well connected.
The necessity for urgent burial
precluded the body being turned
over to relatives, even if conven
iently located, and the authorities
here provided for its interment.
