This is hL language, not mine. These facts furnish but a small part of the whole truth, but enough is given to indicate sufficiently the amazing growth in material resource--, nd'is trial energies and general welfare of the southern pc< iple. At the same time, they indicate the extent of the progress of the entire <>. :utry. The search for the tiu’.h has t xp(;scd fallacies us science as well as falsehood- in history. Ji has, for e-cample, been declared, with dogmatic energy and persistence, that under certain condi tioi.-.of duties on imports, the prices of food and clothing would be higher, while the wages of labor would b’* lower. Now, it has been demonstrated by the investigations to which 1 have alluded that in Hie years since 18C0 the reverse has actually proven t 1 be the fact, by whatever s’andard t* s ed, and the prices of food and clothing have been re duced, the wages of labor inc ea<c<l andthe profits of capital lessened. While those wbo.-e thoori' predictionsand rclflsh interests have c-n templated the failure and discomli u e of the people •ii ■!(!'.i io| ing their material n-soui'-es the j.-ci-ple. u v.-rtheless, have ris< n superior to all adverse in fluences ami achieved a complete and I b< lieve a lasting victory.

I will not detain you longer except to add that the victories of i< ice which I hive de scribed are crowded with the blmsings of a pros perous and happy people, and not lik-- tuose of war purchased with b.'oxland tear’. Tney indicate prog ress and growth in every important element, n i ces> sarytotl.c public welfare. And in conclusion, I v. ill say that 11: artily resimnd to e . ery just wish for H e progress in every direction which will promote the comfort, happiness and honor of the southern pu.»pm.

Mr. Randall’s remarks corn pletcd|the spcelhi nmkiug part of tho programme, as far as the directors had arranged, but THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT that was not down upon ih? programme, that the audience was responsible for. After Air. Randall had concluded, the audience began to call loudly and enthusiastically for “Grady/’ “Grady,' meaning Mr. Henry W. Grady, the vice-president of the exposition. The call was too pronounced and emphatic to beo\ erlooked and resisted.and Mr. Grady, af tersolicitation by his fellow directors,advanced to the front. As his familiar figure came be fore the view of the audience, the applause grew deafening once more, whereupon Mr. Grady said: 1 thank you sincerely for this compliment, but I caniiGt U.ink of interrupting th* programme pro vided for your entertainu cn. and instiu tioii.

Professor Myers Makes a Sneer sful Ascent - Interesting Bali »■ ning Facts, After all there is no s : ght so thrilling as a balloon leaving the cart'n and carrying" a hu man being with it intoj the boundless sky. It produces a sensation that is produced by no other sight. The ascension yesterday afternoon of Pro ft ssor C. E. Myers, the distinguished aero nautic engineer, in his mammoth air ship, was asight which not one person in the vast throng of " spectators will ever forget. This balloon is one of the finest ever made. It is also one of the largest. It is 22 feet in diame ter, and when inflated contains GJXX) cubit feet oi hydrogen. The material <.f which it is made is sea island cotton, varnished by machinery. This is far superior to.silk, and after receiving nine coats of varnish is absolutely impervious to’ hydrogen. This air ship :: &com; aratix ely new one, but it has borne aloft into the tilniy clouds and through them into the char skies, Professor Myers, and his daring companion, Carlotta. In speaking about his voyage yesterday af ternoon Professor Myers said to a reporter last night: “1 have made inany trips in my life, have soared skyward innumerable times, but 1 can truthfully declare that in all my ex perience I have never taken a more delightful trip. 1 left terra lirma at precisely one minute alter 5 o’clock. As the balloon rose it reached out in a southeasterly direction. After reach ing an altitude of some 2,000 feet it veered round lo the east. When I was I.irx) feet in the air tho thermometer xyas7s degrees. When 1 reached tho highest point—about 1; miles or 8/4M) feet, the thermometer was 68 degrees. After leaving the earth, • until I reached e an altitude of about 2,000 feet, 1 could sniff the dust, but after passing that point the atmosphere became pure. All of a sml <l< n I plunged from one stratum into another. The air was sweet, balmy and pure.” “What were your sensations?” “1 had no sensations. They who speak about the thrilling sensations of an air voyage, are either timid or foolish. 1 felt just* like the ground was gradually lowering, not like 1 was rising, and I was just as calm and com fortable as 1 am now.” “What sort of a view did you get when go imr up?” “The most picturesque I ex er saw in my life. It was simply sublime. 1 never saw anything exactly like it The red earth and the green foliage as they merged into one, making a piece of tapestry like a green carpet xvith strains of gold ami purple, form ed a contra*t xvhich was inde scribably rich and beautiful. Oh, how sorry I ' a:n that ! failed to carry my camera. I would like to have a photograph of that scene. 1 would give one hundred dollars if I had made some oi these views.” “Have you ever taken photographs from a baEoon ?” “Why, yes, indeed. I have made several hundred us them, some very line ones, too.” “Well, tell ns about your trip, did any excit ing incidents happen?” “It depends upon what you call exciting in cidents. If being shot at three times by a man with a rifle is exciting, yes.” “Rut were yon tired at ?” “i was three times. It was near nightfall, and 1 was slowly descending. I had been calmed over a largo copse ami was’just emerg ing into a clearing, win n bang! right below me. 1 w«ui then about three-fourths of a mile up. A second shot was tired, and the ball just grazed my basket. Then a third. I tell you it was a sort of sport 1 did not relish. It may have been fun for the ritlnwn, but it was not by any im ans pleasant to me. One of the bullet j might nave winged me or punctured my bal- | leva When 1 reached the ground 1 landed in I a iield of stubbio corn. My descent was ca y and safe. 1 found that 1 had landed on the ' <l. i v 1 arm of Mr. Winship, about six miles i from Atlanta. 1 lest no time in packing up : my ba'.h • n and in returning to the city. \\ he n I lit a :hed terra t na 1 looked at my watch ■ am’< aseortained tl at my trip had occupied ex- i actly one hear. 1 readied the Markham . h .He K tween seven and o'clock all rig! t.” •Have you anv idea why tho man shot at i you ?

He aimed to hit mo. j When I reached tho earth I was told by some • ncgrws that they had witnessed the man's ac- i UuiM and wuld identify him on eight. 1 1a- | tend to be prepared for him next time. I will put Mr. (’oster on him. C« -ter is tl.e best shot in the stat • ( f Georgia and ecu shoot from a balloon when floating two miles high with great accuracy. If this man wants to light a duel, just let him say so.” Her adventures have been sowcnderful that to recount them would make a thrilling chap ter. Said she: “I made my first voyage m a ‘ balloon at Little Falls, N. Y r ., on the 4th of .July, 18*0, My first impression as I rose wes what a set of faces' ami this impression grad ually faded as tl.e immense crowd became one mass of unrecognizable, surging human bil lows. Everything became smaller and smaller, as if treatcil with some patent process for making dolls and playhouses of full grown men and women and the largest edifices, while the ground sank from under me and the hori zon widened and expanded till J seemed just over the center of a gigantic bowl, which, as I sailed along ever built of new sides from the bottom of the seeming concavity which con tinually remained jn.st under me. As I drif ted along in perfect peace, this gigantic speci men of natural crockery changed its hues from brick-red walls, white houses and sombre roofs, to the emerald green of the fields and forests, which later in autumn would stud the earth with varegated colors of a mosaic of red, ye] low and green leaves garnished the sur face.” The second day was one of instruction and quiet enjoyment. i he bicycle contests in the morning and the horse races in the afternoon wore witnessed by a throng of ladies and gentlemen from the grand stand, while the band above them filled the air with melody. Tiie wind amt dust doubtless deterred many from going out to the grounds, but the atten dance was unexpectedly large. The visitors were observant and intelligent people who, taking advantage of the quietude of the day, went out to study the object lessons of the state's industrial progress and to ex amine, unmolested, the riches spread out so lavishly before them. In all the departments the visitors were thick from the opening to the close of tho gates. Only words of praise were hi rd every where. Everybody expressed surprise that so much had been done within tho past twelve hours. Exhibits which, when the gales closed Monday evening, were in “admired disorder,” had taken shape and comeliness. The im provement is manifest in all the departments. The exhibitors have spared no pains to make their displays attractive. Two trotting races completed the racing pro gramme yesterday, and as each was a walk over for the winner, there was a lack of inter est. The first was for gentlemen’s roadsters, owners to drive to wagon for a purse of >l5O. There were three starters, Muscatella, b. m., owned by W. A. Wilkins; Goblin, b. g., owned by Walker, Cawley & Jones; Black Cloud, Jr . blk. g., owned by W. A. Vernon. Musca tella took the lead in each heat and was m ver headed. Goblin could not keep his feet,de voting most of his time to running. Black Cloud, Jr? was distanced in the second heat. The second race was a free-for-all for horses owned in Georgia. There were five entries, but only two starters, Miss Cawley, br. m., owned by Mclntosh & Anderson, ami Neta Bine. b. m., owned by Fred Campbell. Miss Cawley won the first heat very easily, evident ly under a strong pull. When, after the ex piration of the twenty minutes allowed, the horses failed to appear for the second heat the judges decided that they could not start, and that the race should be declared oIT. Mr. Anderson and his driver made a strong plea, and after consultation tho judges decided to allow the race to go on, first imposing a $25 fine upon the driver for the delay. In the third heat Miss Cawley was driven out and made the mile in 2: 30, the fastest mile yet made on the grounds. Ncta Pine was badly distanced, being almost as far back as the quarter pole. The judges are determined that there shall be no delay in starting the horses, ami the rules will bo. strictly enforced throughout. Below is THE SUMMARY.

At that hour six of the directors wore at tho gates acting as gate keepers in order to check the leakage of the first day. President Collier held one gate, Mr. Grady another, Director Kiser another, Director Meador another, Director Peel another, Director Gramling an other, and Director English another. Presi dent Kingsberry, of the Driving club, took a survey of the fence guard. At 7 o’clock tho rush began to be lively, and at Bit was almost a continuous stream. Every street ca.r camo loaded down, and the trains averaged five hundred people to every fifteen minutes. By 12 o'clock tl.e grounds were com fortably filled and the buildings were crowded. An unusual number of visitors was noticed. They camo from ail ]»arts of tho country— north and south, and were all delighted with the exposition. Yesterday really showed li-.w gieat the exposition was. The cattle building, ■with its Luu-hundred stalls, was overrun, ami more cattle than can be found at an ordinary fair was lied to trees throughout tho grounds. Five car loads that arrived from South Caro lina- splendid stock—were hardly able lo got in the grounds. Such a multitude of people as witnessed the fireworks at the Piedmont park last night has never before, perhaps, been massed together in Atlanta. Without exception, the pyrotechnic display was the most gorgeous ever seen in the south", and it is doubtful ii' any finer display has ever been seen anywhere in the United States. Governors and statesmen were wedged again 4 l Georgia crackers, who came in swarms. Ladies of high degree occupied seats with those of lower stations. Tho mechanic and the lawyer, the scholar and the hod-carrier, the man of science and tho humble artisan, the man of God and the set ptie. the good ami the bad, the high, low, rich ami poor composed one conglomerate mass of humanity. Never was there a better behaved or happier crowd of sight-seers. A (ircle of red lights, extending half way round the race course, were touched off, and they illuminated tho entire grounds for about two minutes, v. hen yellow lights touk their places. Simultaneously with the lighting of these air bombs were tired high into the air. their detonations sounding like the noise of cannon. All this was a preface of the fire works proper. The aerial display of fancy rockets, which exploded when they reached an altitude of 800 feet with varying colors of red, green, purple, yellow and blue. Their fiery gambols in the skies caused the heavens to glow with light and beauty. The picture of a man and a woman sitting on a see-saw, and the undulating movements produced much merriment. It was one of tho most successful pieces delineated. Tho next feature w’asone Which caused tho grandstand to tremble and the air to quiver with cheers. The finger of flame delineated with fidelity the features of Governor Gor <L u and Mr. Henry W. Grady. Tho linea ments were wrought in golden and red lines, and as the features stood out in a speaking likeness, the multitude could not contain itself. To render tho moment more exciting the band struck up “Dixie” and then the “Star Span gled Banner.” Such a scene lias seldom been witnessed anywhere. This amazing exhibition simply astounded the people who had never imag ined that such a thing was possible. rerhaps a still greater achievement than this was the picture of “Jumbo” wrought in bright co’urs. This was true to life, and was d- - lared tu be the finest thing on the pro gramme. The mammoth wheel, with its millions of stars, revolved as the band played a stirring tune, and the people could not help yelling with delight. The display of liquid fire rockets was a pleas ing feature. I’ut how shall the greatest triumph of all be fitly described? This was a large pic ture of the new capitol when completed. At first the smoke was so dense that the outlines of the structure were indistinct. Soon, how ever, tl.e smoky mists floated oil and left the building stand ng uut in Md relief so that every part could be distinctly seen. This was gtaeraliy regarded as the best of all. The concluding piece was a fitting one with which to end the grand exhibition. ” This was CvuUuued on Third 1 age. To Assist ilatio In restoring d: eased or wasted tissue Is r.'.l tiiat any •.edieine can do. In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, tho mucous membrane first becomes inhamed, then accumulations form in the air-cells o£ tho lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction of the tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes ■an have uo opportunity to heal. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, an/, ' caves no injurious results. This Is why it is mote highly esteemed than any other pulmonary specific. L, D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt., writes: “Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and confined to my bed about four months. Sly physician finally said I was in con sumption, and that he could not help me. Cue of my neighbors advised me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and before I had taken half a bottle was able to go out. By tho time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills, Me., wri >es : “ Six years ago I was a trav eling sa «ssman, and at that time was suffering t ith L mg Trouble. For months I was unable to rest nights.
