The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1895-10-24
ha seen hv eSery Southern citizen.

| The cX0lG1s Of the SCapoatu All
Line on the grounds shows tho rich
resources and products Of the country
through which The lines of this road
traverse. They have taken great pains
to display these exhibits aud they are
well worth the attention Of those who
desire 10 settle in Gland that flows s
with milk and honey We we're sur
priced at the effort ma,!e by this road
to exhibit the resou ces of others
The negro building is very Interest
ing; the wonderful advancement OF a
race Of slaves in so short period IS
plainly manifest, in fact they do not
appear 10 be far behind the While race
in their strides of progress. There we
saw the pioneer negro drugstore ex-
hibit. The owners live ia Atlanta and
conduct respectable drug business.
The sight, which every one who
holds the memory of the Confederacy
dear, shoule not fail to see is the Con-
fcderate building. There We saw the
cradle in which jeff Davis was rocked,
the old canteensp pistols, baYonets,
and other articles Of war used by Con-
federa'c soldiers. The old wartime
honespuu dress worn by Southern
ladies, the homemade Southern shoe,
the Confederate coffee, made of dried
sweet potatoes, all refreshed in our
mem ,ry the days of Confederate times.
One Southern lady turned from the
scene aid remarked to US, though We
were II, q. rs, that she could not
stand it, that it was like funeral to
her, and she turned away with sad
heart.
We saw the celebrated old Liberty
bell at the Pennsylvania building. 1t
is swung in frame on the portico and
is protected by railing. The crack
in the bell has been drilled out to pre-
vent further splitting.
The manufactured articles of nearly
every country are to be seen in the
Exposition grauuds, and some were
still arriving while we were there, and
are TOO numerous to mention. The
various railroad CO 'pauies have an
exhibit. The car-4hed on the grounds
is built fnr the special purpose OF e1-
hibiting the locomotive engines manu-
featured by different companies. Pull
u1au palace and dining cars, and even
the ordinary faeight box, is on exhibit
ton under the shed.
The Southern Railway has erected .
beautiful building-on the grounds in
which arc exhibited the minerals,
fruits, woods ard field crops ot>i?e
section which is travcrsed by their
lines.
Among the articles in the Govern
ment building is one of Sherlnan's old
blue army wagons, which shows where
it has travelled. The name Cheraw ls
on it showing that it has passed through
Cheraw in our State. 1t had Travelled
about 5,400 miles and was still III pretty
good fix.
Space will not permit US to say more
on the subject, and in conclusion we
will say that there is no disposition to
gouge in Alan'a. The street cars
marked "Expo<i'ion" charge tell cents,
all other cars charge five cents, but do
not 60 quite 10 the gates of the
grounds. There are plenty of convey
ances to take you to the gate for five
cents and bring YOU hack up town for
five cents. Rooms may be had at from
80 cents mp to $3.50; good meals may
be obtained at restaurants for ladies at
25 cents, and the accommodation IS
ample. But try and avoid taking
trunk, aud be sure not 10 forget Your
old shoes when you leave home.
Finally, don't forget 10 go to the Ex-
position.
On our return we spent the night at
the home Of Dr.. T. j. Crymes in
Greenwood. who married Miss Lizzie
Kerr, formerly Of Winnsboro.
We spent short while iu the gallery
at the convention. w. G. McGoWan
was wrestling with "Uncle George" on
the small county issue while we were
there.
