TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.
There is Going 10 be an Exposition, and
all can Assist In IL.

As to the compensation fnanci- |
ally there can be no question of !
doubt as to what the exposition
will accomplish, says the Nashville
American. The truth is that with
out the exposition the losses to
Nashville and the State of Tennes-
see will be a hundred fold what the
exposition will cost. The discour-
agement that will ensue, the want
of faith in ourselves, the repellant
and bhghting effects that the fail
ure to hold the exposition will have
upon ourselves and upon immi-
grants and capitalists, will cause us
to loose many millions of dollars.
Paradoxical as it may appear, if we
have the centennial exposition it
will cost us nothing financially, but
Nashville and the entire State will
reap rich rewards. If we do not
have it we shall have to pay for it
by the loss of people and the de-
cline in the value Of our property
great enough to pay for MANY large
expositions. Briefly stated, if we
hold the exposition others will pay
for it; if we do not hold it we shall
pay for it ourselves without having
any Of the benefits that will arise
from it. Let everybody come up
to the help of the exposition.
Here is one item to show that the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition
is not a purely local affair: The
Louisville exposition benefited all
the counties in Tennessee located
along the various railroads and for
miles and miles distant from the
railroads. The demand for food
supply was so great that, after
stripping the State of Kentucky Of
everything eatable, it was forced to
come to Tennessee to find supplies
for the crowds. Lambs sold that
year for S425 to $3.50 per head, an
advance in price Of 81 per head.
Cattle were l cent per pound high
er; the demand far exceeded the
supply. The extraordinary demand
for Irish potatoes that year origi-
mated the idea in Tennessee of rails
ing the potato as farm crop. One
man in Williamson County sold his
lamb crop for 50 per head higher
than since the war. The Tennessee
centennial will require every bushel
of potatoes Of both kinds, beans,
peas, vegetables of all kinds in ex-
traordinarily large quantities. The
! farmers of all counties throughout
our glorious old State will find
their hands full in furnishing the
supplies to meet the demand. II
the Louisville exposition, hundreds
of miles distant, benefited Middle
Tennessee alone in the matter oil
selling her produce over $4,000
the benefits to our Tennessee farm.
ersin our own exposition can scarce.
| ly be estimated. The farmer anc
trader received that $4,000, no
the merchant. Tennesseeans car
unite and make the exposition d
success.

One OF the most important cases now
being fought in the United States
courts, Is that OF the Westinghouse Air
Brake Company. OF Pittsburgh, against
the Boynton Air Brake Company, OF
Baltimore. The Westinghouse COM
pany first sought to prove that the
Boynton patents conlicted with their
own In the district court at Baltimore.
The court decided that partially the
Boynton patents contlicted with those
OF the Westinghouse company. The
matter was taken to the circuit court
OF appeals sitting ut Richmond, where
Judge Con reversed the decision Of the
lower court and sent II back to the Bal
tImore tribunal in effect declaring the
Boynton patents valid. The Westlng-
house people then took the matter to
the supreme court of the United States.
Yesterday attorneys from Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and Baltimore appeared
before Judge Con and after the case
had been reviewed the mandate OF the
circuit court OF appeals was suspend
ed, allowing the case to go to the higher
tribunal

This Interests You.

One always feels uncertain, when COM
ing to new place, whether or not he
will win the favor OF the public, which
he is counting and trying to earn. In
most kinds of business the rule is to be
enterprising and not wait until the
stream comes to you. But what can an
artst-who is not Il peddler-do, but
advertise, hang out his samples and
then wait for his patrons to look and
ask and suggest and find faults?
Where the interest for photographs
has partially died out, as it will some
times do in places, where you are accus-
toned to see the same work from year to
year, done by the same artist, in the
same gallery, it takes some time to
arouse the public and bring about tho
feeling that you must have some pictures.
Bnt as long as the world does move they
will be made. Mothers must have the
children's and children must have the
parents. Good portraits are always ad-
| mired, ornaments in any drawing room,
and photography is natural necessity
| of all commercial and scientific life. In
| the rush for the almighty dollar the ar =
| fist, too often, cares not whether he
| pleases his customers or not. We, who
| have travelled thousands of miles-sOme-
times on a rough uphill road with but
few roses by the wayside-who have made
tens OF thousands OF photos, who have
loved the sunny smiles of the European
Eve, and studied and admired the mag
nificent grace of American daugters, from
| Newfoundland to Florida; from the At
lantic to the Pacific, we know, that the
best way to fortune and fame-whlch al,
WAYS comes through trials and hard.
| ships-is to please your customer and
give him the best OF the bargain. In our
gallery, over Dorsey's drug store, We are
ready to give you the benefit OF lessons
learned during busy life. But we have
not come to stay always. Oh no! As
the wheel of time rolls onward, we &C

Advice for the Young.

Let no man be discouraged because
of opposition or of persecution. No
body throws stones at dead dog. or
passes revolutions against the silence
Of a graveyard. The man OF energy
and push, of power and ceaseless activ-
ity, is the one who is euvied and ma
ligned by little souls. 1t is the man
who, by his determination to succeed,
gets ahead of the laggard at his side,
who meets with opposition. 1t is the
man who crowds some lazy fellow OH
the road who is prosecuted. Push and
energy always get to the front, but not
without difficulty.-Erchange.
