Notes on Display.
The chilly weather had but little effect
| in leSSening the attendance al the EXpOsi-
| ton last night, and there were probably
more persons present than on any previous
| Monday night since the opening. a full
| average attendance from the country was
present during the day.
The display Of poultry was very fine,
about fifty cOOpS being on the ground.
| Among the fine breeds represented We no
| tced as follows: Whitehead Black Span
| ish. Houdans. Buff COchins, SilversideIHam-
burcs, Golden Polish, Light Brahmas, Dark
Brahrnas. White Cochins, Partridge Cochins.
| White Crested Black Polish, Black Ham
| burgs, White Leghorns and Brown Leg
horns. The exhibition of fowlswill be con-
timed to-day and tomorrow.
The trapeZe performance was unusually
| interesting, new feature being added
which ELECTED rounds of applause from the
spectators.
The different lodges of knights of
| Pythias, of sthis city and Edgefield, will
! turn out in force tonight and visit the Ex-
position in a body. They will appear in
| full uniform. and under command of their
proper officers.
In the ladies' department, last even ne,
our attention was called to the wedding
cap. collar and ruff, made by Mrs. Vaughn,
tine mother OF Mis-. 4. G. Beech. They are
| elegant samples Of work Of I'VE olden
time"
We notice the following displays:
THE ROCK CITY PAPER MANUFACTURING
COMPANY.
In the new wing Of the building We no
| ticed an extensive display of paper from
the mills of the Rock City Paper Aanufac-
| turing Company, among which are shown
samples Of the finest news, book, blOtting,
MANILA. wrapping and roofing papers. The
mills of this company are located south Of
| the city, near the corporation line. They
aIe the largest paper dealers in the
State, and supply the stock used by about
one hundred offices, among which We may
mention the NdNtrille Bonner, the UNION
AND AMERICAN, and the appeal and
AraIdncbe of Memphis. One of the mills
of this company is devoted entirCly to
white paper, while the other turns out the
common grades Of paper. The paper man
ufactured by this firm is pronounced SUI
perior quality by newspaper men, and their
Judgment is practically sustained by order
ing their stock from their mills.
The ERock City Paper Manufacturing
Company have built up an extensive trade
throughout the country for their make of
plotting paper, which is of high grade,
and the demand is always equal to their
ability to fill orders.
But few persons have a correct idea of
the manufacture of paper-the extent
and cost of machinery, and the capital re-
quired to run the mills successfully. Ger
tainly not the gentleman who inquired Of
the Superintendent if the paper was not
made in the same building occupied by
them as their sale room, at No. e North
Market street; or the party who suggested
that they apply for space and place one of
their mills in operation at the Exposition
| building.
The mills of this company use each
month about one hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds of rags, in addition to a large
amount of other paper material. They
| consume two tuns of coal daily, and keep
| eighty hands constantly employed. Thirty
women are required to assert the rags.
Mr.. 5. NJ. Scott, President, and w. j.
| Thomas. Superintendent of the Rock City
| Paper Mills, are gentlemen we'll known for
their energy and business enterprise. The
| business Of the company, under their man
agement, has assumed immense proper
/ tiOns, and we take pleasure in recommend
ING the paper manufactured by them to the
press and the public.
| Cages PATENT PERFECTED HYDRO
| CARBON GAS MACHINE.
| JohnM. Cayce has placed on exhibition
one of his patent hydrO-carbOn gas ma
| chimes. which is claimed to be the most
perfect and simple machine with air-feeder
| and carbureter ever invented. 1t will fur
| nish gas at one-thiTd the cost Of coal gas,
and equal, if not superior, in brilliancy
| to that used ia large cities.
Mr.. Cayce erected one of his patent gas
machines 1t Pulaski some time ago, and
| Gas was turned on in the houses Of MeSsrs.
| Sumpter 4 Lacey aud Finley * Moore.
| Speaking Of its success, the Pulaski Citt-
| zen, of the Sth inst, says: "The machine
was wound up on Wednesday evening and
| at dark the gas was lighted in the houses
above mentioned, and nightly, from that
time TO this, it has been burning,
| giving ocular evidence Of its SUI
| periority over every other kind
! of light ever before used in Pulaski, and
yieing in brilliancy and steadineSs with
| anv Gas Ofwhatever description used in any
| city. In short, the test made before and
| for the use Of our people, has been so emf
| ncntly satisfactory and demonstratige, that
| ali have voted It unconstitutional by
the greed with which our people are
| taking hold Of IT,"
Mr.. Cayce has received many orders for
his machine, and lie is kept busy supplying
