The Southern Exposition is opened,
a I'd but few people are in attendance.
In company with a gentleman who
assisted US in an invoice yesterday THE
GLOBE made an inventory of the rot
ten concern.
1t is bust.
Mr.. Patrick knows what that means.
Apart from bust it is all imposition
upon ali the southern states. 1t is a
private corporation, conducted by pri-
vate individuals and no state has ever
given it sanction.
The displays so far would not do
credit 10 a common county fair in many
counties where fairs have been held.
All manner of money-gouging schemes
are on the grounds and the standing
joke is that the secretary's office is the
biggest thing there.
THE GLOBE proposes to show this in
stitution up from time to time, and
whenever they get an exhibition, this
paper will advertise it.
Our advice now is: Wait for it to
open.
A railroad nFAn informed us that apart
from the first day he had noticed no in
crease Of travel
People who are in charge of exhibits
and who feel a pride in what they have,
say that they get lonesome.
One hackman waited two hours for
two return passengers aqd said that when
he got job he would keep it. And lie
charged nothing extra.
People of Raleigh told us the thing
was fraud and failure.
And we believe it is.
1t is disgrace to the South and if any
northern or western people come to it,
unless it improves, it will assist in Civ
ing the South black eye. North Caro-
lima is better represented than any other
state-but other states are miserably mis-
represented.
The whole thing looks like money
making scheme. 1t is a private enter
prise and gouge game.
We would like TO see something worth
going to see, and something that would
attract strangers. But the miserable
show on there now is a disgrace to the
South and to each southern state.
Yet TIE GLOBE wants to insist that it
is not a official exhibit. No state has
given anything. A crowd of huksters
have paid for space to exhibit and sell
their wares. This is the true business
and people should know it,
All the putting in the world will do nc
good unless the managers, and they are
in it for the money, get something from
different states to show.
And in this proposition, every man
who is henest viii agree.
The electric cars of Raleigh are really
beauties and they are being patronized.
Colonel Blount, who is there with Bull
tobacco, says that the exposition has not
opened.
The Florida exhibit is like a boat, ;"
said Colonel DR.. Blacknall, because it is
for sail"
Colonel A. B. Andrews says that when
the exposition gets fully started that it
will hum.
The weather is cold and damp. THE
GLOBE, as will be observed, still prints
the news.
Farmer joe daniels exhibits a Sulky
Hay Rake and Moving Machine of his
q own manufacture.
The secretary's Office is symposium
of pretty girls who play beautiful pieces
on the type writers.
The balloon was filled yesterday with
Colonel Folks denial that he skulked
during the late whirl.
A soda fountain in the building sells
Sweet soda Water. You must furnish
your own Corn Whisky.
Captain Ashe rendered the Star Span
gled Banner and suggested the hope that
she might continue to wave.
Fred Gray wiped his face on red
bandana and whistled, to delighted audi
