ty begins at home we are told, and so must
this work Let no more new buildings be
erected; put the Exposition into complete
shape at once; reduce fare to Exposition
grounds to ten cents for the round trip: put
the price Of admission at twenty-five cents no
half tickets; advertise freely In the leading pa
peis OF all the States; stir up the people every
where to realize the immense proportions and
diversified attractions of the Exposition; secure
the lowest possible rates over all the railroads of
the country; tell the world that there is plenty
of room and reasonable hotel charges in At
lanta; appeal to the Northern and Western
people to come here and behold the wonderful
exhibits OF the prosperous new South; call
upon the people OF the Southern States to
come and see how they may succeed In becom-
ing successful rivals of the North and West in
cotton manufacturing and other industries that
are sorely needed in the South. II all these
fail. then would telegraph for Forepaugh's
circus to come here and go into winter quar-.
ters at the Exposition grounds. Nothing else
could, under such circumstances, draw
crowd.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
went out to the Exposition yesterday after
noon. and was surprise to find things still in
confusion in many places. The Florida build
ing was being finished. and no displays yet in
place except few in the back room.
The Savannah Florida and Western Railway
department has not yet got in all its exhibits,
but is attracting much attention. The turpen-
tine still is in operation and is of the great
est curiosities on the grounds I found Capt.
]. II. Griffin busy putting up his handsome
cards Of the "Waycross Short Line" as he
always has an eve to business.
Next week snail be able, hope, TO take up
South Georgia and Florida and do them full
justice in an entire letter. The Georgia Agri-
cultural Society Is making q splendid display
in the second story Of the rotunda of the main
building, where Mr.. E. NJ. Sargent, of w B
Jones & Co., of the Birdsville Seed Farm, is ar
ranging the articles with rare taste and skill.
found the Press Pavilion looking very cosy,
as Messrs. Pardee and Campbell have taken up
their quarters there and spared no effort to
make visiting newspaper men comfortable.
And just here desire to state that so far as
am concerned have received only the most
courteous treatment from Gen. Lewis and
MeSsrs. Pardee and Campbell and their assist
ants, who are in charge of press passes. They
are gentlemen Of high character and worthy of
praise instead Of censure.
This promises to be busy week, provided
the weather holds good, as we have Edward
Atkinson's party here; DR.. Loring, of the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington, is ex-
pected to-day; the Vice President and Senators
will follow close behind. These attractions
ought to draw a bigger crowd than honored
the visiting Governors. And then the grand
cattle show is set for this week. and a score
or two Of splendid imported animals will be
exhibited. 1t is safe to predict most success
full week in all respects, and especially in the
matter Of gate fees
Now in conclusion, whether Colonel Wadley
reduces the fare or not. make bold 10 say that
the people of South Georgia and Florida, at
present rates OF fare and admission, can get
more for their money, in the matter of grand
display, than they ever got before in ali their
lives. The show is here. there is no humbug
about that, and no errors In the management;
no obnoxious regulations or individuals; moth
ing but really bad weather can TlOtC mar the
pleasure of the Exposition. Atlanta has to
blow her horn too loud and too long sometimes
AS she did when she made nine Governors
cut OF JoNr-but the Exposition IS a ''big
thing" and worthy liberal support even with
out the much-desired reductions in prices.
say, then, Come one, come all" and see
grand display. CHATHAM.
