CRAWFORDVILLE, GA., FRIDAf. NOVEMBER 15. 1895,
THE EXPOSITION.
Ye Editors visited the Exposition in
Atlanta on last Friday and Saturday,
and viewed many of the exhibits in
the different buildings on the grounds.
To enumerate all the exhibits or even
half of them would occupy too much
of our space, therefore we shall men¬
tion onl) a few specialties.
Our first place to visit w as the. forest¬
er building where ai! kinds of wood are
shown, from the short leaf pine to the
most magnificent mahogany. Also in
this building is to he seen quite a large
quantity of petrified wood, that pre¬
sents a transparent color resembling
stone and glass.
In the. Georgia building we found
exhibits from several counties in the
State, consisting of domestic, agricul¬
tural and mineral resources, and which
reflect great credit on the counties thus
represented. To our eye the Gwinnett
county display is the best, and we feel
confident that it will claim the $500
premium offered for the best county
exhibit.
In the government building we found
much to entertain and please. The
display of live fish was something of
special interest, they were encased in
large; glass basis. The United States
Treasury department was also of in¬
terest, and to View the currency notes
denominated at from $1.00 to $5,000
was something that we don’t happen
to see every day in our life, but we did
not sec a single gold piece of money,
and ive presume that Cleveland and
his elan had all of it sheltered under
their own wing in Washington.
The New York building has an ex¬
hibit composed of painting and sculp¬
ture work of the highest art, which is
very pleasing to the eye.
At Pennsylvania headquarters it was
our pleasure to sec Liberty Bell. It is
quite a large bell and bears the marks
of age. In 1770 it rang for the Decla
ratiota of America’s Independence.
Seveial "JL-AHL States in the Union have
interesting of them all, is the Florida ..
exhibit. It certainly presents a pleas¬
ing sight to the eye. Here you can see
the orange on the trees just ready to
be plucked, also the pine apple and the
cocoanutand various other fruits of the
“Land of Flowers.”
It was impossible for us to take in
all the sights in such a limited time,
but we expect to go again in the near
future and hope to see more of the
show.

One lias oti y to visit the Georgia
State building at the Atlanta Exposi¬
tion to form gome faint idea of the ro
source) and possibilities of our grand
old commonwealth. Ae a northern vis¬
itor truthfully remarked, even Geor¬
gians are just beginning to realise the
treasures that lte buried m tires hills and
valleys of their native state. When wo
look upon the wealth of products gath¬
ered together in the State building, wo
aro impressed, not ouly with the abuu
danoe and the (tun quality of the food
crops both for man and beast, but with
the diversity from hold, farm, garden,
orchard, vineyard and mines thers dis¬
played. Tho uiffaront industries, in
cotton, iu wool, in ioatlier iu wood
work ; too almost innumerable speci¬
mens from mine and furnace and work¬
shop ; tbe grand collection of marbles
Ki'auites and ores, all impress us with
the magnitude of oar natural resources,
and tho progress, which lias been made
since lHtio, thirty years ago, when our
state was devasteil and our people collec¬ pros¬
trate. The more one studies tins
tion, especially of the prduoti agricul¬
tural and horticultural industries of the
state, the more one is convinced, that
a country, so varied iu climate, so di¬
versified iu. soil and products, has a
bright future, if only iier people ure
thoroughly alive to the demauds of tho
times, and keep abreast with tho im¬
provements and progress uucesHury to
the development of her various indus¬
tries. Our agriculture must not bo suf¬
fered to lag behind the other indus¬
tries. and one of the most favorable
indications to be uoted in
this exhibit of the state’s progrei
In agricultural work, is the evide
earn and ntr»«tioj> >nvou to davelopi 1
heretofore nogieetod factors.
In tho past our agriculture w»« t
veiopod too muon iu „„„ one Airanii,.,, direction i*
the expense of others equally iropol
ant. and the consequence was that L
mond of a symmetrical, well balance I
system, we wore weighted down wit
too much cotton on uue side, and not
enough of homo made meat, bread and
olothing ou tho other, to preserve the
proper equilibrium. But one oannot
fail to see that the farmers have real¬
ized their mistake, and that the broad
foundation of independence is being
laid in tho well tilled barns and smoke
houses, which will bless our state an¬
other year.
THE SUDDEN DECLINE
in cotton hns made many paupers, but
while chose men, who sold before the
decline are most fortunate, the above
conditions have made our farmers, even
those who did not sell, virtually in¬
dependent of tho cotton market nul
they can afford from their protected
situation, to view the flurry in tho
business world, with the calm eonll
douce of men who are snfeiu any event
—because their money crop ii absolute¬
ly demanded by the needs of the world
—and must sooner or later bring a re¬
munerative price. There can be no
doubt now that
THE CHOP JH SHORT.
There was a decrease in the acreage
planted ; tao young plants wer;* very
much retarded and injured by middle the late of
spring; it was almost the
summer before the belated crop began
to take on its usual vigorous appear
auoe, and about that time protracted, the rainy
season came on and was so
that when the sun finally came out
most ol the squares and young bolls
formed during the wet weather drop¬
ped off. Added to this, in Home seo
tions of the state the crop suffered from
runt, boll worms and caterpillars, and
the early frost, four weeks in advance
of the usual time, effectually cut off
the top crop. By the flr3t part of this
mouth if not earlier, the principal part
of the crop will have been gathered.
With this powerfully illustrated lesson
brought homo to their very doors, oan
farmers bo so foolish as to risk another
overwhelming cotton crop the coining
year t We have jnst gotten well Start
ed on our policy of home independence.
let u» not turn back or beswervod from
our course, by the fictitious promise of
a targe cotton crop, however alluring
the prospect. Let us set. le this qnes
tion right now. who hesitates
jg lost. Let US keep this fact ateaaily
in view, that the policy of cutting
home supplies Short, m order to get IU
a iiig acreage in cotton, is bad in tho
ory, and worse in practice. Let us re
soiYe to take care first of home needs,
and then put in all the cotton we are
able to manage and work to advantage.
If this policy is rigidly adhered to, an¬
other year will witness a still more
prosperous agriculture and a happy
and contented people.
