THE "WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, NOVEMBER 29, 1881. AT THE EXPOSITION. FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE DAY NOTED. ncdueed Hates Along the Stale Boad-The College Ulrla at the Exposition???A Brilliant Gathering of Young People???Borne to Come to At lanta-Attraction! of the Potcre, The largest attendance on <t single day since the opening of the exposition occurred yester day. Prom the lime the gates were opened until far into tno afternoon there was a rush at the turnstiles on the arrival of every train. The buildings were in a crush from the crowds that filled them, and the grounds were alive with the moving masse*. The special object of the day was folly accomplished in the presence upon the grounds of a vast throng of mechanics and industrials, as well as by the attendance of large bodies of pupils from a number of the most prominent educational institutions of the state. Everybody seemed happy. Exclamations of surprise and delight were heard on all sidas. and the greatest curiosity manifested in nearly all the manipulations and machiue wonders visible at the exposi tion. There is nothing more certain than that a score of such crowds as yesterday, fill ing out the remaining days of the fair, would produce impressions of the most stimulating cliaracter and lead to many and valuable ef forts in the direction of progress in the south We trust that such a result may be reached. The press of the country is teeming with eulogies of this great enterprise, and its splen did success as an exhibition of wealth and resources is being told by the thousands who have already visited it. From now until the last day of December the pooplo should bo Heat forward to tlio show from all sections of tho south. A day in the buildings will bo a liberal oducation to thousands of them.

There were also present delegations from Augusta and New Or leans. Uovernor Colquitt; as governor of Georgia and president of the exposition, was first introduced by Mr. J. C. Peck, the director general pro tern. Governor Colquitt said: Gentlemen of tho Maryland delegation, of Hew Or)oaoh and ot xugusta: It becomes my duty, ns president of the exposition, to say a word in the discover these boundless riches, pent-up in no little room, but destined develop half a continent.

(Ap plause ] BEx-Mayor lAitrobe, of Baltimore, responded befitting terras to the cordiality of this welcome. Tie had aot trusted to the resources of the moment for a reply, but prepared tho following text, which was most happily received by tho audience and frequently applauded: When I accepted the invitation to accompany m, fellow citiisM on their peaceful march throug] Georgia it was with the expectation, I must confess, of finding ln??your exhibition^ magnificent display of your resources and your industries, the products at once of your generous soil and genial climate, your loving labor and subtle skill; put the reality so far surpasses ray conception that I am now at a loss to describe the impression it has made. Your exposition is so comprehensive, so well propor tioned. that just as one fancies he has discovered its most attractive feature, he finds himself con fronted with something cteuctive And yet, 1 saying that what most impresses us In the fact that this is a great cotton exposition, the as, I hope, tho last.

We offer you the best building material in tho world???the Baltimore pressed brick, which the dwel lers in marble halls always contem- ilate with envy. We offer you 810,000,000 worth of inltimore home-made clothing, which is so good that some of tho New York houses buy It there, ship it hack and sell it to nil admirari eitizensof ourown town as genuine New York manufacture. We offer vou a coffee market which New York envies and New Orleans tries to imitate, but-cannot; for the Brazilians know us of old, and our Baltimore houses in Rio arc as old or the Bmganzus. They were established before Comniunipaw had ceased to be New York???s commercial rival. Wo offer you the best fertilizers in the United States. We first manufactured them. Baltimore was tho flint port to wtiich Peruvian guano ever came in the United Suites, and though l kumv nothing about tho tricks of the guano trade, and am not a farmer liko our worthy Governor, I have more than once had farmers from Maryland and other states whisper to me that two tons of Balti more fertilizers went as far as three tons of other manufacture???quality and measure both reliable. It is my opinion that tho South ought to produce its own breadstufi's and its own pro visions; to raise its own mules and cattle, ami grow feed enough to keep them tho year round. I think that ran ought to raise your own pigsand cure your own bacon; but, if you cannot or will not ordo not care to do this, why, just send to Balti more, and we will supply you on such favorable terms that you will never dream of sending else where in the future. If you want canned fruits and vegetables, we make $5,000,000 a year; if you want oysters???but I need not speak of them???we can send you $12,000,000 of these Chesapeake bival ves; if you want butter, ourdniriescan supply you, while, if you only wish oleomargarine, I may whisper to } on that we have an oleomargarine fac tory, too???one that is said to turn out a far better article than that which tho Thurbers produce.

Indeed, we can sell you every thing from a jewsharp to a steam engine???from a calieogown to the costliest silk. There arc very many things, gentlemen, in which we nave a common interest, ami can be helpful to each other You are at the beginning of a great career tour career is assured.and we goon in an estab- lisltod way, knowing the course we should pursue. Atlanta is a great railroad center; Baltimore a great rail mad terminus and focal point. Baltimore wishes to reach the great son???nern market, and recognizes Atlanta as the gateway to it???the arch through which gleams nlllliu wealth of that glitter ing marl. Atlanta wishes to get to tho ocean, und Baltimore, brings it nearly half way inland to you. What ti busy place you are! Here is all the bustle, the activity, the eagerness, the spirit of progress of a locomotive that hugs the rails and lays down to its business of getting over ground at the rate of over forty miles an hour! We do not wonder, seeing you. that you are proud of what Atlanta lias done, and have faith in your city's future. You have reason for your pride and confidence. Vou nre growing as if you wanted to beat die census-taker, as if you were determined he should find 100,000 ople iu 1890 where he ouly found 40,000 in 1880. by not? You are building up your " if it had that many people now. You are get ting rich. You are worth five times as much in money, and a hundred times as much in energy and public spirit as you were in 1860. You have the best railroad connection of any citv In the south, and that in itself is a guarantee o'f wealth und consequence. Baltimore desires the ac quaintance of such a city, for Baltimore can serve you. Baltimore wants to ship your cotton, and she can do it, in spite of Charleston, Savannah, Now Orleans, Cincinnati. New York and Norfolk. You do not believe it? We can demonstrate it, gentlen- men. In 1879 Baltimore shipped more grain re ceived by the Pennsylvania road than went to Phil adelphia. Where did this grain come from ? From Canada, from St. Paul, from Duluth, from Bismarck in Dakota. It came to Baltimore from Buffalo and Rochester, sent to our city by rail, across the New York Central, the Erie, the Pennsylvania; across the Erie canal also???because our port was cheapest. Docs not this total of 26,000,000 bushels of wheat sent to us by these routes prove to you what are our facilities? You are connected with us bv the best of all southern air-line roads, and we have such an advantage in it that cotton sent by rail to Norfolk often breaks bulk there, comes to Balti more to be shipped, and reaches Liverpool in bet ter condition and paying tho planter butter than if shipped direct from Norfolk. Your planters and factors are beginning to understand this, and appre ciate the advantages of Baltimore as a cotton port. We will give you the best compressing facilities, superior advantages for chuap storage, ano steam c.s coming and going in r gul.tr lines. Our crop receipts are nlio??tly rapidlj increasing???our ex- from 1,474,000 to 2,832,000 bales, or 22.1 per cent That taken by southern mills from 120.000 to 230,000 bales, or 91.6 per cent. In effect the southern mills have Increased their product more rapidly than either of their rivals. Already Georgia man ufactures 71,4-17 bales of cotton everv vear, hav ing 41 mills, employing $6,363,657 capital. with 200,000 spindles and 4,390 looms. This beats us Marylanders, who have but 20 factories, with $1,600,000 capital, 125,706 spindles and 2,425 looms, which consume 51,537 bales annuallv. But we will do better, fer we mean to have a cotton factory or two in Baltimore, just to familiarize our ears with the sound of spindles, and to remind us of what we ought to have done long ago. Your cotton mills here in Georgia will soon almost revolutionize your community. Already your 41 mills emplov 6.372 op eratives, who receive $1,119,306 in wages and pro duce cotton fabrics worth $6,216,701. That is to say, each hand produces a value of $1,000 per annum???a net value, over wages and material (and not counting capital) of about $400 a year. In the cotton field, on the other hand, the hands do not average more than ten bales apiece In other words, the cotton spinner pavs his employ er net as much as the cotton picker 'pars his em plovor gross, a business which is thus??? profitable must and will divert labor, must attract hands from the field to the spindle until tho profits of tho two industries arc more nearly equalized. But. gentlemen, to take advantage of your help lessness to pelt you with statistics is but a poor way of expressing our sensibility of your cheering hos pitality and gracious attention. We have come, seen, and been conquered 1 Henceforth, we are your allies; will you not be ours? Mayor English responded to tho address of Ex- Mayor Latrobe in a few remarks, as cordial and im pressive as they were timely and courteous. He hoped during the stay of the visitors they would find much to make them glad that they had come. If wo are not better acquainted with Baltimore i.i the future it will be your fault and hot ours. He deslrod to see the best of relations exist between the people of tho Two cities???the commercial empo riums of Maryland and Georgia. Mr. B. F. Coles, of tho Maryland exhibitors??? asso ciation, then formallftnnd iu cordial terms wel comed tho visitors to variety, while your ores compass tho wholo range P????? of precious and useful metals. You suggest a sheep , out . , - , . . -- ---- ??? husbandry capable of supplying all our mills with |P???? ^R*t from field to mill. I find that In ten years . tins were 221,364. and exports 122,073 bales, and for the last crop year. 1880-81, receipts were 253,325, and ex ports 157,901; thus in ten years our receipts have Increased two aud-a-half times and our exporis six times. This is growth, but it is only a beginning of what we mean to do in the future. I do not mean in "cotton futures,??? gentlemen, but in the future of Baltimore's cotton trade, so important to us, and so important, likewise, to Atlanta. Do yon know why we feel Biicb confident assu rance that our cotton trade is bound to grow? For the same reasou that we know that our grain trade is bound to grow- because Baltimore is the cheapest and best port on the Atlantic. 1 do not like to bur den you with flgu res, but we wish to sell our goods to you, and therefore we wish to make it pluin why you should sell vour goods to us. One reason is that the price of cotton is always higher in our market than in Norf- lk, the difference ranging from $1.25 to $2.50 per bale. On last year's cotton receipts at Baltimore, taking the average difference tn pnee for the last few weeks, the southern plant ers would receive $170,000 mure on that quantity than if they had sold it in Norfolk. This is equiva- liim to a premium of $740,000 in every 500,000 bales, which Baltimore offers to you if you smi vour cot ton there for sale. Baltimore can deliver your cot ton lu Liverpool or Hamburg, Bremen, Amsterdam, Antwerp or Havre at New York freight rates, and cheaper than you can get it delivered from Savan nah or Charleston or Norfolk. Me have regular lines, insurance is less, freight is less, and the use of press and terminal handling comes cheaper in consequence of our superior facilities. We seek a wholesale trade, and we are prepared to do business by wholesale methods. The Uniied .-states consume about 450,000 tons of chemical fertilizers annually. Gf this. Baltimore produces more than half???280.000 tons in 1880-81. requiring 27factories, and giving employment to 2.500 persons who receive annual wages amounting to $1,500,1)00. This is Baltimore's contribution to the restoration of the waste places of tho south. Every pound of these 560,00u,000 pounds of fer tilizers which Baltimore mokes each year ought to add from one half to one pound to your cotton crops: every pound of these fertilizers which cost you 2 cents ought to return yon net from 4 to 8 cents a pound, and that, surely, is the poet's idea of benenconce???making two blades of where only one is now growing. Gentlemen, we mean to manufacture a million tons of fertilizers every year, and we expect in return for this to re ceive 2,000.000 bales of the augmented cotton crop; for your crop will increase very rapidly???not faster, however, than the world can consume it. Your crop has increased from 4,317,000 to 6,606.000 bales in ten years. There are multiplied reasons why It should doable again before the next census is com pleted. Your area in cotton is increasing every year; your labor and vour modes of husbandry are improving with the utmost rapidity. No planter will bo content to raise a third of a bale per acre when this Atlanta fair has taught him how to make sure of an average of two-thirds of a bale, and. with care, a whole bale regularly to the acre. What a magnificent possibility this extends to the south??? doubling its crops, decreasing the cost of their pro duction. manufacturing the product at home, turn iug its millions into tens of millions and its ten: into hundreds of millions, while railroads over spread all the country, and labor and immigrants and capital come in. aud the mineral resources un der your feet are transmuted into wealth by the magic touch of toll.

Mr. It. W. L.'Raisin, of Baltimore, responded, eulogizing in the highest terms both the importance and success of the exposition. General Cyrus Bussey being called upon to re spond fortho New Orleans delegation, headed by him, did so in a happy and effective manner, nis remarks were pleasantly blended with wit and reason, and heartily applauded. The ceremonios of the reception then concluded and mutual congratulations over the affair in dulged in. An Interesting Machine. BEAUTIFUL SILK HANDKERCHIEFS MANUFACTURED IN THE MAIN BUILDING, Decidedly tho most unique and interesting piece of machinery on the grounds fs a Jacquard silk loom, exhibited by tlio Wortendyke silk manufac turing company of Now Jersey. This loom is locat ed in tho cast wing of the main building near the rotunda, and is kept in constant operation In'the manufacture of handsome silk handkerchiefs that are much sought after and highly prized as souve nirs of the exposition. Tho complicated piece of machinery works into thecenterof the handkerchief a picture of tho buildings and grounds nnd weaves above and below tho words ???International Cotton Exposiion, Atlanta, Ga., 1881.??? Aside from the beauty of these handkerchiefs the fact that they are made upon the grounds renders them very ap propriate souvenirs of the Exposition. Mr. Robert T. Brooks, who has charge of the exhibit, has so far been wholly unable to manufacture enough hnnd kerchiefs to supply the demand, but he has been exceedingly affable and attentivo In showing the intricacies of the machine to the great throng of people who constantly press about the exhibit, and has thus in a great measure made amends for the inability to supply tho handk. rchiefs. The dullest uinn on the grounds could spend hour after hour iu watching with the greatest interest tho manu facturo of these beautiful handkerchiefs as the various colors of silk are deftly woven to gether and the perfect handkerchief with its rich hues comes rapidly from the loom. JJie ladies will finp with this exhibit a specially fine line of sam pies of dress goods, satin brocade, millinery and tie silks. A Chicken Foundry, WHERE THE OBNIAN CHICKS ABE MANUFACTURED. That most novel of all novelties, the glass hen continues to draw well. The fact is the occupation of tho regular old setter is ,gon^ .I^fpter when she grows too lazy or too old to lay eggs and cackle, she will have to figure wholly and entirely on the boarding house tables, well-baked and dressed with onion stuffing. The glass hen not only does tho work of several hun dred feather hens, but actually makes the trip more safely, does tho work more satisfactorily and comes in on the home stretch one day ahead of the fastest hen on record. She is not the goose that laid the golden egg, but she can come as near hatching golden egg as tho next one. Tho proprietor says he is going to let her tackle a china nest egg, in a few days, and the result will bo watched with great interest. It is exceedingly interesting to watch the chicks as they crawl from the newly broken shells and begin life. Everybody should co tho wonderful glass hen. The Dairy Men. A MEETING OF TIIF. NATIONAL DAIRY FAIR ASSOCIA TION TO BE HELD HERE. The members of the National Dairy Fair associa tion havo concluded to visit the exposition in a body at the timo appointed for holding the conven tion of the planters and manufacturers of the United States, which will be December 6. Francis H. Moulton, president of the association, has been specially invited to be on hand and to deliver an address, and it Is probable that ho will ac cept. It is the design of the executivemanagt ment to combine all the agricultural interests of the south at that time, ana consequently every man who raises corn, cotton, dniryproducts, orany other farm products, will find tho week beginning De cember 5th, one of exceptional interest in connec tion with tne exposition. Oa to Atlanta. OMB 07 THE VISITING STATESMEN EXITCTED HERE IN DECEMBER. The exposition has already attracted to Atlanta many gentlemen whose names are well-known and honored in the several sections of the union. By these visits they were enabled to learn much anti amend often their opinions of onr couutrv, onr people and their sentiments. The month *f Decem ber promises to be marked by the coming of a num ber of distinguished people of all professions and parties, who are curious to see the exposition, to consider the possibilities of it nnd be come acquainted with the people who hare made it famous. Among tho first will be Postmaster-General Jam-s, who, with his family and several friends and officials, is now in the south, and who purpose returning soon to Washington, via the Atlanta ex position. General Hancock, while not able to accept the formal invitation to the opening ceremonies, ex preesesin subsequent letters a most decided and S atriotic interest in the affair. He has, as presi- ent of the National rifle association, condidonallv promised to be here during the rifle tournament, beginning December 13. It is sincerely hoped that no exigency of the public business may require him to remain away. Hen. Samuel J. Tilden has expressed a decided wish to visit the exposition and partially gotten his own consent to undertake the journey. There is no man whom our people would more delight to welcome as their guest, and we hope soon to be able to announce fils favorable determination and to annonnee the day of his arrival in our midst. Mr. Edward Atkinson writes that he had an in terview with President Arthur and that he feels quite encouraged to believe that the presidential party will visit the exposition as soon after the organization of congress as possible. The coming of President Arthur to the south and Atlanta would be an Important event and it is hoped that he will find it possible to accept the invitation. Should he come he will doubtless be accompanied by seve ral members of the cabinet and possibly other dis tinguished personages. More than one pressing invitation has been for warded long ago to ex-President Jefferson Davis to adept the hospitalities of onr city and of the expo sition. The uncertainty of the date of his return from Europe has prevented his giving any definite reply. Should he return to America before the close of the exposition he will, there is hardly a doubt, visit Atlanta and the exposition. In such event his visit will be made memorable, and no mark of regard will be omitted that coaid make his sojourn here pleasant General G. 8. Grant, in a letter received Yester day say* he desires very much to visit the exposi tion, and hopes to so arrange his business affairs os to make it possible for him to do so some time in December, it is thought highly probable that should President Arthur come General Grant will so timo bis own visit as to be one of the presidential party. Secretary Blaine has given assurance of his deep and in its future effects, and promises to make it a visit. He will probably come daring the third week in December, so as to enable him to return home for the holidays. He will be pleasantly sur prised at the warmth of the welcome he will re ceive. Should these gentlemen meet the above indica tions, we shall witness a month of mammoth at tendance upon the exposition from all sections of tho country. The Old North State. WHAT NORTH CAROLINA HAS AT THE EXrOSITtON. The old north state should be proud of hex ex hibit at the exposition. The legislature of that state appropriated twenty thousand dollars lor the commissioner of agriculture to make a thorough displuy of the state???s resources. Mr. McGehee. the commissioner of agriculture, wnile not exhausting the appropriation, has made a highly creditable display which is in the west wing of the railroad building. Yesterday a representa tive of The Constitution made a careful examina tion of the exhibit. The first thing which attracted his attention was a glass case filled with silk in all its stages from the cocoon to the hank. A beautAul .display of woolen goods is itade. These goods are from the factory of F. & H. Freis, of Salem. Along with this display is a beautiful exhibit of blankets and yams from the Elkin Valley woolen mills. These goods are particularly attractive and should be seen by every one who feels an interest in the resources and manufactures of North Carolina. One of the most attractive features of the displav isa set of hand painted china, the work of Miss Isabel Williams, of Fayetteville. N. w. Tho paint ing is done in a most artistic manner and does great credit to the talent of the lady. Four paintings by the same young lady are shown. The display of marls, guanos, etc., is very fine nd complete. The display of wheat, com and other grains is especially fine. The samples shown arc equal to those grown anywhere. Grass seed, peanuts, rice, and all kinds of grain iu the sheaf nre shown. There arc several fine specimens of jute from which cotton bagging is made. The display of sugar cane and sorgho is highly creditable. Of tho woods shown there are U2 specimens. In this conneciian it would be interesting to give the reader the benefit of the following table, which, giviug the number of varieties of each kind of val uable tree in the United States, east of the Rocky mountans, makes such a fine showing for North Carolina. ecicsin Oak Piues Elms...

In the matter ot fruits ot all discriptious, from the hardest up: les to the orange and banana, we have here a choice and varied collection. The pro duce of the orchards, vineyards aud groves of our state never had on exhibition better aud more repre sentative steelmens, r.vcu this at late season there arc shown strawberries grown in the open ??ir aud grapes gathered from laden vines, growiug on our gravelly hillsides. The housewives of Georgia are not absent in this disp lay. The jars that represent their home indus tries in the preserving, pickling and jelly making arts are rich with tempting contents. They represent resources of great value in the domestic economy of our people and prove how easily one can avoid starving if one but takes the precaution of marrying a thrifty wife and using his muscle ou a few acres of good Georgia old field lauds. The pavilions containing all these unique and valuable indicia of the annual products of the state are prominent and in teresting features. They add greatly to the general completeness of the show and are most tastefully arranged. The bouquets and ban ners, composed of these same products, are curious compositions and Unexcelled for pretty effects by any similar combinations iuany of the departments of the exposition. Commissioner Henderson also shows, in a foun tain of running water, living types of the carp family of fish, now being so extensively aud successfully culti vated iu this state for food. Maple 5 Hickory 8 Magnolia 7 The display of minerals and stones has been col lected with especial care, and embraces ISO varie ties, including iron, gold, silver, lead, zine, copper, emeralds, the recently discovered gem hiddenite berl. marble, tale, kaolin, from which crockery is made, nnd a great many other interesting and val uable things. Some of the finest cotton ever grown in this country is shown. The display of tobacco is very attractive, and em braces chewing and smoking tobacco and cigarettes. The display of granite is very attractive. It in cludes some fine Scotch granite and specimens of leopardile found only in North Carolina. A fine display of fine wines is made, and attracts much attention. The display of mica is elaborate and attracts much attention., Some fine specimens of writing and wrapping papers are shown. With the exhibit is a display of graphite from which lead pencils are made. A splendid display of plaids and sheetings is made by the mills of the stale aud shows that the old north state is not slow in manufacturing, Alto gather the exhibit is highly creditable and worthy of an inspection from every visitor. It is during Mr. McGehee???s absence under the charge of Mr. Thomas Love. Mr. McGehee will be here probably to-day and will iu all likelihood re main several days THE GEORGIA EXHIBIT. A Lneky Tamp Maker. A recent number of the Washington, D. $?., Post gives an interesting sketch of how one Augustus de Grununund, driven out of the pump manufacturing business at ihe national capital owing to the general introduction of Potomac river water, was in his financial dos peration led to venture sending a dollar to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La., and in return obtained $15,000, having received in return half of ticket No. 7,240 in the 137th monthly drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery on October 11. This good luck of a wort Ity Wash- ngtonian will tempt many to correspond with the beneficent XL A. Dauphin, New Or leans, prior tb the Grand Semi-Annual Distri bution of over half a million of dollars on De cember 13th, under the sole coutrol of Gener als G. T. Beauregard of Louisiana, and Jubal A. Early, of Virginia, and some one else will be put in history in like manner. novlG???d&wlt* A Display that Does Honor to the Stnt \Ye have, from time to time since its inaugura tion,-referred in complimentary terms and more or less at length, to the splendid display of Geor gia products exhibited under the auspices of the state agricultural department. These exhibits arc the contributions to the display made by indi vidual citizens of Georgia, who were proud enough of her resources and patriotic enough to desire to have them properly displayed before the throngs that daily gather in this exposition. The display fills to repletion all the available space of three sides of tho great gallery in the center of the main building of the exposition, It has been specially handled und arranged under the direction of State Commissioner Henderson and Colouel Newman, his ablo assistant, with their force of trained em ployes. There is not an article of the many hundreds here combined to illustrate the agricultural, pomologieal and horticultural capabilities of our eorgia -oil that has not been given its due prominence iu tho display. To execute such an arrangement skilfully and Intelligently has been a great labor, but the success with which the task has beeu ef fected constitutes the triumph of the effort. It should be a mmterforgeneraleongratuiaiionumong Georgians that,despite all untoward circumstances, so complete and illustrative au exhibit has been brought together here. That Judge Henderson, our fnithful and accom plished commissioner of agriculture, was deter mined not to encounter the mortifica tion of seeing his slate???s varied and superb products unrepresented to the world in the only ???world???s fair??? ever witnessed in Ihe south is ouly too well evidenced by his patient labors in collecting and curing for this exhibit. In this patriotic work he has beeu most ably seconded by associate officers, by the exposi ion managers and a few of our enterprising citi zens. In fact, when one undemands how herculean has been the work and sees for him self how faithfully it has been perlurmed. ho hesi tates whether to give the lion's share of the praise to ?????? fidelity of the collectors or the fertility of our fit dt. Y ..^collection embraces so great a var.ety of farm, field, garden and household products that a mere enumeration of them would fill a many-paged catalogue, and anything liken description ot them would fill a hat-d-booi. The full display, just as it now stands, must be seen, investigated and understood to give one a fun aud intelligent idea of what onr soil, under goad and patient culture, will produce. '1 be showing here made for the good old ernpi.. state of the south will bear the test of most rtg& comparisons with the products of any other state in the union. It will convince the most skcpliealou- server that the croaker???s complaints over 'our wasted lands??? and "barren oid red hills??? ate delusions,'born wholly of laziness and used as a.. apology for slovenly fanning. In the e matter of cereal products this exhibit is that speaks volumes. In it are contained splendid speeim* us of all the cereal crops that can be grown anywhere in America. There is hardly a seed that is employed for culture, either for food or other purposes, that does not find somewhc.e in Georgia a generous birthplace, with climate and seasons tQ bring it to its fullest development. There are shown as fine s;peciraeus of wheat, of nil varieties, as are produced upon the most fertile fields of the great valley,or that go to make the bread of the world. There are shown ears of tine corn,equal ly as long and full and heavily seeded ns any tha. constitute the special phenomena of exhibits from Other boasted fields 6f America. There s re found outs, rye and barley equally as good, relia ble and prolific as any specimens possible to be gather ed in any section of the Country, lhese, too, are shown in such quantities, from regular crops and with such guaranteed statistics hs to demonstrate the ability oi any good farmer to raise them in Georgia in great abundance and with great profit. The special feature in this connection is a pyra mid of seeds, iu cases, showing at once and collec tively the wide diffusion of such products iu onr state'and the success which has uttended the cuL ture of the plants they represent. The cotton exhibit, which is an essen tial and exceptional part of this show, is one to surprise even onr best informed farmers and factors. Georgia is the second largest ; state iu the union and peculiarly mproved prolific varieties that are now so much sought for to enhance the value of our annual southern crop In aminiature mock cotton field, wherein plants fully fruited and as actually taken: from the ground are shown as though really grow iug, may be seen the character istics of many of the most approved varieties now- being popularly cultivated. These plants are not only natural curiosi-ies to many who sec them, but deserve much more istrticularmention than we can afford for them in the limits of this article. No in telligent and progressive farmer should neglect to give them a careful and willing Investigation. The rice crop of our southern fields is given its full measure of; prominence, and indicates grently our ability to furnish our laboring classes with a cheap and popular article of food. The upland rice, even that grown und. r the very shadows of the mountains, is a marvelous exhibit of its kind, and deserving even more experimentation by our hil farmers. The products of our cane fields, both in sor gho and ribbon canes, are fully displayed for the information of the carious and the practical. The exhibit of garden and farm products, in vegetables of every variety, is one of remarkable proportions and highly indicative of the ability of our people to provide their tables from their own lands. Whether it be in yams in ppumkins, in cabbages or in cucumbers in melons or in mangoes, or in any other of the like products, this exhibit is pronounced unrivalled by any ever before attempted in Georgia.
