The Negro Feature Of the Exposition.

On the 18th Of September the Cot
ton States and International Exposi-
tion was formally opened. There were
present thousands from all parts Of
the country to witness the event.
The third Of the great shows Of the
kind attempted by Atlanta, worked at
and talked of two years in advance,
advertised fully in every considera-
BILE daily in this country and by some
in Europe and in Central and South
American countries, it was but natur-
al that the opening day should be a
red letter day in the history of South
ern expositions.
OF remarkable proportions, it is a
credit to the men in whose minds it
was conceived, and triumph for At
lanta which they represent. To say
nothing of the art and educational ex-
hibit, the display of the natural re-
sources of the Southern section OF this
continent is vast and varied, and it
naturally attracts attention.
But great as is this show and at
tractive as are all its other features,
that of the colored race is especially
commendable, and it evokes the most
favorable criticism by all who visit it..
Indeed, it is a revelation to many of
the race themselves. Nor is this sur
prising; for limited opportunity to
exercise capacity, but generation in
the enjoyment Of such opportunity as
it has, discouragements and drawbacks
on every hand-these have been the
lot of the emancipated people; conse-
qucntly it should seem impossible for
it in so short a time to do anything
worthy of notice. On the contrary,
however, dependent upon God and
trusting in him, it has gone on in the
improvement of it's endowments, turn
ing neither to the right or to the left,
and the results achieved have aston
ished the world.
The first time in the history of their
career as citizens that the colorcd peo-
ple have been accorded such privi-
iege, it was fittingly. beautiful that it
should come from the South, and no
less SO on the part of the colored peo-
pie that they responded so heartily to
the sentiment which prompted its

SIMPLE DRIVE PUMP.

What One Man Did with Six Dollars and
some Ingenuity.
A mechanic living near me made a
drive pump from about thirteen feet
of iron pipe two inches in diameter,
and a connecting piece for fastening
pipe to the side for the spout, to which
uprights were attached to hold the
handle. as shown in the illustration.
He fitted a steel plug (d) to one end of
the longest piece of pipe and drilled
holes near the end for the inflow of
water (c). The pipe was then, with a
large wooden mallet, driven down
about ten feet into q sandy loan, until
it Ind penetrated a layer of sand con-
tanning water. To the top of the pipe
the cross piece was connected, and
about five feet down a plug was in
serted containing hole fitted with
leather flap valve on top o..
A plunger of hard wood with hole
in the bottom also fitted with leather
flap valve was connected to a handle
by an iron strap, and the handle was
supported from the spout of the pump
on two strips of hard wood bolted fast
together. On the piston, or plunger
(a), strips of leather are fastened to
promote suction. A drive well at first
brings up the fine sand with the water,
but as the sand is pumped out cavity
is formed which holds barrel or two
OF water, and in time all the
sand near the bottom of the pipe dis
