Special Correspondence Of the C1trontcte
ROsTON. October l-What the Gov
ernor of North Carolina said to the Gov
ernor OF South Carolina" has passed INTO
history, but what the Governor OF Massa-
chusetts said to the Governor of North
Carolina. and what was said in reply. is
just beginning to be noised about. Gov
ernor Jarvis is right. We have too much
money and too much populations; you've
got too much land.
And that reminds me of good story.
Your readers have all heard Of the Con
cord fight in 1775. Well, they were
having a local celebration there few
years ago. and Squire from the adjoining
town OF Acton was called on for speech.
He wasn't much af a speaker, but it wa.
splendid chance for hit, so he sailed in:
Ladies and gentlemen: The occasion
we celebrate is worthy of remembrance;
that was the day when Concord FURNISHED
the ground for q fight, and Acton fur
nished the men - To day the Old North
State presents the ground for new order
of things New England has a host OF
''fresh checked" young men. Will they
have the sense to embrace their Opportu-
nifty? 1t will not be the fault Of your
State if they don't, for she has presented
in the most graphic style possible to the
visitors Of the New England Fair her
abundant resources.
/ cannot refrain from again praisin" the
rare genius of the men who have arranged
this exhibit. DR.. Dabney, Commissioner
McGehee, Professors Bruner and Hidden,
and there has just arrived, a little too late
to aid in the arrangement Of, but not too
late to be great help to, the exhibit
Col. l.. L. Polk, who, with Mr.. +. w.
Clarke, Of Wilmington, is giving heap
as you SOutherners say-Of information
about the State.
SPREADING INFORMATION.
/ must say, too. that the course pursued
by those in charge in disseminating infor
nation to visitors is worthy of the highest
commendation. Several large maps are
hung in accessible places, and numbers
of an extremely valuable Photographed
map Of North Carolina, prepared by Prof.
w. G. Kerr, are given away, and that
they are eagerly sought for speaks we'll
both for the map and the enquiring minds
of the visitors. Then there is a ''Hand-
Book of North Carolina,' exhibiting its
resources and industries, prepared under
the direction of the Board of Agriculture.
Another volume of over 400 pages is en-
titled ''In the Coal and Iron Counties Of
North Carolina" by P. NJ Hale. Its con-
tributors include some Of your most noted
scientific and well-known writers. One
article in it, ''PiedmOnt and the Noun
tains,'' as seen by a New Englander, is
one Of the most brilliant in the book, and
is, as [ happen to know, from the pen Of a
Connecticut Colonel. Then besides nu-
merous flyers and little pamphlets is
a fifty four page handbook of the North
Carolina and Virginia Seaboard Airline,
showing the capabilities of the country
traversed by this line, and the great in
ducement it offers to settlers from the
over-crowded North.
But most of all is the gentlemanly in
dividual aid that may be obtained from
the affable attendants If anybody ever
supposed the contrary, the conduct Of
these Southern gentlemen has convinced
all visitors that grace, dignity and intelli-
gence are not found above Mason and
DiXOn's line alone.
