A KIND WORD OF ADVICE.

If you feel yourself growing weak
your strength failing the natural functions
of the body becoming impaired, take
warning in time; your system needs
Iron, which, when combined with pro-
per vegetable extracts, produces tonic
Browns Iron Bitters. Buy it of your
druggist and do not be persuaded to take
a substitute, for this Is the only remedy
which gives permanent strength. 1t con-
tains no alcohol. nor does it blacken the
teeth. 1t receives the universal endorse
ment of clergymen, physicians, druggists,
and all who have used it. no23

The Lessons OF the Atlanta Exposition.

In one of his brilliant and inter-
esting letters from Atlanta, Georgia,
to his journal, the Philadelphia
Times, Col. A. X. Mcclure thus
speaks of the lessons taught by the
great cotton exposition:
"The chief lessons of the Atlanta
exposition are emlnently practical,
and they are so regarded by the
Southern people. They will give
not only immediate but lasting
and incalculable fruits of the
grandest character. The cotton ex-
position will silence the hum of
many spindles in the north, and it
will make the south much more the
legitimate field for both invention
and capital than it has ever been in
the past. 1t will teach the great
mass of the southern people what
until now only the theorists have
known, that the greatest boon to
the south, after the cotton gin, is the
cotton spindle; and 1 hazard moth
ing in saying that in another decade
Georgia will spin all her cotton,
have looms for most of it, and make
the music of the cotton factory
heard in every cotton centre of the
south. OF all civilizations of the
nineteenth century the Old South
is the only one that would have
paid more than two hundred mil
lions of dollars annually to a hated
north to spin its cotton. With the cost
of n thousand miles of transporta-
ton, the cost of baling, the injury
to the fibre by pressing and separat-
ing it again for the spindle, and the
increased cost of labor in the north,
all pleading for the spindle in the
south, the north gathered the chief
profits of southern products by re-
ceiving the raw material and re-
turning it in web TO be sold largely
to those who should have made it.
But the New South has studied sim
pie arithmetic, and its cotton ex-
position is merely huge blackboard
on which is presented to the whole
south the plain lesson that the three
hundred millions worth of cotton
produced this year will be
worth three hundred millions more
when the ample and icelesss water
powers of the south shall be en-
ployed to whirl the merry spindles
at home. This is the great lesson of
the Atlanta exposition, and the pre-
liminary progress that has made the
grand exposition possible has de-
velOped measure of invention and
Advancement in the south that is
truly wonderful. No one can care
fully note the cotton machinery at
the exposition without accepting
the conviction that even the old
spindle will soon become integral
parts of the same cunning imple-
ment, and that the raw lotion from
the tield-sack will be ginned and
spun by single process. This once
attained, or even the spinning
of the cotton with its two
or three hundred millions of
annual compensation assured to the
south, its progress will outstrip the
widest calculations, and every chan
mel of industry will share the impe-
tus. 1t was hard, uphill struggle
even for Atlanta and Georgia to lay
the solid foundations for southern
progress, but it has been done, and
the active men of to-day will live to
rejoice in the enlightened advance
ment and wealth and grandeur of
the new south.
