His letter to the President Of the Atlanta Er-
positi0n.l
DEAR SIR:-It is a source of sin.
cere regret with me that | am notable
to visit your Cotton Exposition in re
Spouse to the very cordial invitation
with which | have been honored. The
pressure Of public and private engage
ments has rendered it impossible. l
congratulate the people of Georgia
and Of the whole country upon the
great success that has attended the
enterprise. 1t is evidence Of a recon
struction Of material prosperity
throughout the South that is crafty
ing TO every patriotic man. Good
government is essential to prosperity
among the people; and, in truth, pros
perity among the people is the safest
guarantee Of good government. Dis
content will always breed disorder.
Contentment upholds the reign of law.
For forty years preceding the late war,
the Northern and Southern people
were continually growing apart, with
! different aims and different interests,
c%herishing different hopes and looking
to different destinics. In the last few
years they have been coming together
and it is safe TO say that at no time
since the slavery agitation of 1920 have
they been as closely united and as cor
daily related as to-day. We have
stronger. broader, deeper patriotism
and a loftier and worthier pride in thu
citizenship Of the great Republic. w,
have one country and it is our country

A suggestion for meeting the labor difficulty

the South Sea Islands as a source Of cheap la
Dor supply are not nearly worked out yet, if
the traffic were properly managed. Meantime
II is going to the dogs for want Of proper man

alarmed at the prospect Of the country being
inundated with Indian coolies, British sub
jects, who combine the disadvantages Of being
willing to work at d very low price. with all
the rights and advantages Of the CiriS R0BldE-

and vast regions in Polynesia and Melanesta

The Garii Fair.

A dispatch from Washington last
Sunday says: 1t was O'Clock this
Garfield fair, at the Capitol, felt that
they could lie down TO sleep. BY that
time they had found out who were en-.
titled to the various articles raffled and
voted for, and had done something TO
straightea up most disordered scene.
They had found, too, by that time, that
the managers of the fair would be able
to pay all their bills and still add quite
respectable sum, reckoned in the
thousands, to the monument fund. AL
most all the donations were sold In
the wild rush to get them out Of the
booths last night, some of the booths
were entirely stripped. However, Col.
Corbin estimates that the odds and
ends gathered up all over the Capitol,
including 500 or 600 pounds of tobacco
and three or four bales of cotton, are
worth about $4,000. These will be
auctioned. Until all the bills are paid,
and the goods on hand are sold, the
managers cannot say how they stand
financially. 1t is believed they will
clear from $4,000 to $4,000, On the
whole, the managers of the fair regard
it as success. Col. COrbin says that
the result of the presidential election at
the Garfield fair was the election of a
Mr.. Virgins, clerk in the clerks of
flee in the House, by large majority.
Virgins had about 1000 votes, Blaine
about 5000, Logan little more than
Blaine, and Houk, of Tennessee, little
more than Logan. The votes were 10
cents apiece. Most of the $4,000
cleared by the fair on this presidential
watch was in dimes and quarters, but
there were three 800 bills in Wiggin's
pile, and one or two other candidates
had one apiece. Virgins was elected
because of the desire on the part of his
supporters 10 humiliate Blaine. He
gets fine watch from Titiany's, all the

Value Of Fruit.

1t is fact that fruit is great regula.
tor of the human system. 1t will keep
the blood in order, the bowels regular,
tone up the stomach, and is positively a
specific In many diseases. 1t is said OF
a doctor who became largely interested
in peach growing that he recommended
peaches to his patients OH all occasions.
The story was told to illustrate the
mans meanness; but If he was mean IL
was a meanness that benefited his pa
tients. If men were wise they wonld
spend two days in a vineyard or Or
chard to every five minutes in drug
store when anything is the matter with
them. If you have dyspepsia, eat
fruit. Did you ever think what doc
tor gives for dyspepsia? He gives an
acid. Fruit will furnish better acid
than the drugstore will. Do you
know what the doctors dose you with
when your liver is out of order? With
acids. Then why not supply the rem
edy yourself from your own garden?
Why continue to have your medicine
done up In such repulsive mixture
when nature furnishes it in so palatable
a shape. Every home should have at
least one grape vine. Once in posses
sion 1t would be almost above price
