Georgia at the World’s Fair.
The department of publicity of
the St. Louis World's Fair furnishes
the following concerning what Geor
gia proposes to do at that fair:
“Corn ‘pone’ and fluffy hot corn
cakes, made by a typical southern
colored ‘mammy,’ and served with
fresh country butter and pure ‘sugar
house’ syrup, all free, will be one of
the attractions that will draw visit
ors to the Georgia exhibit in the
Palace of Agriculture at the World’s
Fair.
“In an agricultural way corn and
sugar cane are two of the big prod
ucts of the great southern state, and
Georgia commission has determined
to give a practical demonstration of
how delicious these foods are when
served in the ideal way.
“In the center of her agricultural
exhibit, surrounded by cotton and
corn and sugar cane, an ideal plan
tation log cabin will be built. ~£t will
be presided over by an old negress
who knows all about the art of pro
ducing corn pone and oorn cakes,
Buoh as are made in no other part of
the world. Every visitor to the
Georgia section will be invited to
sit down and test the proverbial
southern hospitality and the oook-
ing ability of a genuine Georgia
colored ‘auntie.’
“Georgia’s display of ootton will
not appeal so strongly to the appe
tite, but it will be artistic, showing
a neat pavilion made of ootton and
a miniature cotton field, with minia
ture bales and the products of ths
fibre and seed shown in comprehen
sive array,
“In the raining department Geor
gia will make a display that will
portray that state’s greatness in the
production of minerals. The central
figure will be a statue of Vulcan, 50
feet high made of iron, standing on
a pedestal of coal and coke. Georgia
marble is famed all over the world
for its beauty. Great shafts of the
natural stone, magnificent monu
ments and polished columns and ob
elisks will be shown in stately array.
“Georgia’s pineries will be drawn
upon to furnish another exhibit of
peculiar interest in the Palace of
Forestry, Fish and Game. The pine
wood will be shown undressed and
polished. The process of extracting
turpentine, pitoh and rosin, and all
of the by-products, will be shown in
detail.
“Georgia's pavilion on the Plateau
Of States will be one of the striking
features in that wonderful array of
architectural creations. A building
and maintenance fund of $50,000
has been created. On an advan
tageous site at the intersection of
two main boulevards, overlooking
the mining Gulob and with Maine’s
logyabin on the north and Pennsyl
vania's Btately building on the east,
Georgia will erect a replica of the
old state house. This is of the pure
oolonial type of architecture, spa-
cious rooms and halls, and surround
ed by the wide veranda characteris
tic of the south. The buildings will
be splendidly furnished and the
commission will entertain in a man
ner befitting the state’s reputation
for open-handed generosity and hos
pitality.”

The Cuban reciprocity bill was
signed by the President with a gold
pen supplied for the occasion by
Senor Don Gonzalo de Quesada, the
Cuban minister. The bill passed the
Senate by a vote of 67 to 18; many
democrats supporting it and one re
publican voting against it. On the
last day of the debate Senator Bai
ley made an able argument against
the constitutionality of the action of
the President and Senate in nego
tiating a treaty which called for a
reduction of the tariff and of mak
ing the validity of the treaty con
tingent on the appro\ al of the
House. He declared that such an
act was contrary to the provisions
of the constitution, which declares
that all revenue acts shall originate
in the House. This,, question will
probably be taken before the Su
preme court as soon as the reciproc
ity bill goes into effect.—Washing

we sold more vehicles last year than dealers who
have been in the business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more exacting every day.
The first thing they seek now is quality. They

That explains the whole matter.
Quality and Price is Our Hobby.
