WHAT Il hEiG&5 HAS SECURED
IN THE Es'iER.SEA
EXFOS3EECR.

Raleigh and he whole State are to be
congratulated.
There arc few persons III this section
chat really understand the Souther In
ter-Siate Immiggaion Bureau. Some
Eaye tried TO make it appear as small
thiug because Raleigh secured it. But
Why not Raleigh? Our people are en-
terprising, rs is shown by the fact that
they gave more money to the General
Bureau than any other Southern city,
and as to the location, North Carolina
is on the main line of travel North and
South, and, therefore, those desiring to
see the agricultural and horticultural
exhibits OIL the entire South before de-
ciding where they will locate, do no
extra travelling, or lose time by
coming South by way of this city
The Southern States recognized the
fact and were willing to centre either on
Raleigh, Richmond or Washington. Our
de awake citizens went to work in
earnest and secured fund of twelve
thousand dollars in this city alone gave
the use Of large commodious buildings
and grounds costing large amount
of money This shows an enterprise
sc are justly proud of.

is going to be a grand success and the

We have seen letters from EX-GOver
Richardson Of South Carolina Govern0l
Fleming Of Florida and Governor North
ern of Georgia and from the Commits
siOners of Agriculture and Immigration
of States named who from time to time
will give the official endorsement Of thi
work, until the entire South is covered
and until the Exposition is upon US. Thel
these who doubt that the men of tn
South are not competent TO work ou

or trembling, and manage grand South

prised. Agreeably surprised we say
because we do not believe that thos
who are doubling the success of tn

theirs to see it fail, but because the
think it is too good thing for Ra
