Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-02-10

No man in this broad Union has contribu-
ted so much toward regenerating the South
and the reawakening of a national senti-
nent as the Hon. H. l. Kimball, the director
general OF the Atlanta Exposition. He is
still engaged in the same good work. A few
days since Mr.. Kimball was on visit to
New York, and at the request of the Agri-
cultural Convention read a paper on the re-
suits of the Atlanta Exposition, in which he
said
In his most Sanguine moment he had not
dreamed OF such a grand composite display OF
every southern INDUSTRY ana reSource-orss, min-
erals AID woods-which, in their audacity the
directors, building wiser than they knew, had
accumulated in this great exhibition. 1t was such
exhibition of purely American industry as had
never before been collected. Fifteen years had
elapsed since the old labor system had been killed
The former master had neither money nor credit,
and the former slaves were intoxicated with the
first draught Of liberty; II was the old story over
again OF the bow that had been so long bent az to
lose It's elasticity; but the essential elements of
true manhood which. during those four years OF
fully demonstrated Iapplausel still remained, and
gathering up the broken threads of her former
prosperity the South wOve them into the complete
garment which she so lately spread out at Atlanta.

Of enterprise, he had builded there. He had

aud he knew that hereafter sectional strife was
done. The next great result was the wonderful
sale OF Northern implements and labor-saving con-
trivances among Southern planters The sale of
the manure-sprcader amounted to oyer SO goo. ,
One thousand five hundred cotton-planters, two
hundred new pattern carriages, five hundred car,
loads of engines plowS, harrows cultivators and
other machines have up to date been sold in the
South since the Exposition. In conclusion, he
said: we want men and women OF brain, who
are not afraid to work; we have discarded senti-
ment and turned ourattention to practical things
There Is room for all, a hearty welcome Tor all,
and fortune for all who will come and settle in
the young South" fGreat applause;l General Ire

hearty welcome. The motion was unanimously |
carried.
The people of the South owe Mr.. Kimball |
a debt of gratitude, which will enrich the |
creditor if the debtor only pays the inter
eat. Under the enterprise, progressiveness
and enlightened lead of Mr.. Kimball the |
whole country has been shown that the South |
is rich in its resources, and without limit in
the possibilities of her future. Mr.. Kimball |
is a native of Maine and has heretofore been
a Republican in politics; but if the Ameri-
can people will follow his example and prac.

Which, taken at its flood, leads on TO fortune; |
Omitted. all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shadows and in miseries.''
And everybody is trying to take the tide
low at its food. Progress, improvement,
advancement are the watchwords, from
Maryland to Texas and from Missouri to
florida. The people seem determined to
mbraoe the opportunity and to take adj
antage OF the new era. More people have
emoved from the North to the South during
he past Elk months than the previous twenty
ears. More Northern capital has been in !
ested in the South during the past twelve
,onths than the twelve preceding years.
