the necessary funds to make it fipan.

rate it was finally determined to make

winch Will be increased TO $500, 900 il
the Gould and the Louisville a. Nash
vile railroads act as generously as the
other lines entering the city. The It'd
goes on to say: "The Importance of onl
Exposition is thoroughly appreciated
throughout the North. It will be bond
of union between the sections; it will
bring about the investment ot North
ern capital in the Southern States, and
the development of our great but as vet
untouched resources
. The New York Herald predicts the
success Of the Exposition in very en-
phatic and confident language, and
among other things says: The Atlanta
Exposition stimulated Southern activity
and gave the North better knowledge
and appreciation of the natural advan-
tages OF the South. The fruits OF that
enterprise have been a marked agricul-
tnral, industrial and commercial pro-
gress i'll the SontIl, and in the advanta-
ges OF this prosperity the whole country
has shared Similar results must flow
from the success OF the Cotton Centen-
nial. Like the Atlanta Exposition, it
Will be an exhibition. not alone OF cot
ton, bnt of all kinds of agricultural and
manufactured products, and it will be
open to exhibitors and competitors the
world over, 1t will have one decided
advantage which the Atlanta Exposition
lacked. Tt has received the official re-
cognition and sanction of the govern
ment of the United States By an Act
OF Congress passed last February, 'to
encourage the holding Of Il Worlds In
dustrial and Cotton Exposition, Presi-
dent Arthur is authorized to appoint
commissioners, to make proclamation of
the opening of the Exposition, and to
invite, in the name of the United States,
foreign governments to take part i'm it.
The Act further provides for the admis-
sion free of duty of all articles imported
for the sole purpose of exhibition. The
Cotton Centennial is coming event of
national Importance, and should be
made n grand snecess, as it deserves
to be.
