ATLANTA. GA. February 9.-presilent
Collier has received through the state
Department cOmmUu .ca'iou from ti--
ton r. Breckinrige. Hited S.ste- M''-
lister At St Petersburg Who says the in
Vitation to the Russian Government 90
take part in The Cotton states and Inter
national Exposition was received with
great favor By the Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. Mr. Breckinridge urged it, &C.
ceptance. and presented also the aren'
ments suggested by the state Depart
ment looking 10 the Increase OF COM
merce between the two countries.
Russia ta:es special interest In the
Southern States because OF cotton cul-
tur- in which the car is personally in
t-rested -Four years ago an accomplish,
cd commits siOner, representing the house
hold Of the Car. visited Atlanta and Re-
manned IN Georgia for many months In
vestlgatlng cotton culture. He made an
exhaustive study Of the subject IN all It's
epectS ana WIZ here acquired a
knowledge Of English so that he under
stood very thoroughly the southern peo-
pie and their Industrial and social con.
ditiens. He spent weeks on the planta>
tons. and remained with the crop from
the time Il was planted until the cotton
was picked. ginned. baled, and shipped.
The Russian Emperor has immense cot
ton plantations on the crown lands In
Turkestan, and II is in this way that no
came to take special interest IN cotton
culture IN America. From the great
pains and expense taken to investigate
tho subject here. it IS believed that the
Gar hoped for tho development OF this
industry in Southern Asia TO such an eX-
tent that Russia could compete with tho
United States and India in supplying the
demand for cotton goods. both in Russia
and in eastern countries. Cotton-facto-
rles of an improved type have recently
been established in the western part
of the Russian empire. and great pains
are taken to establish the industry on
a broad basis As the movement Of cot
ton-mills from New England TO the
South has again attracted worldwide
attention to the advantages of this sec
ton over al! others in the production ani
manufacture 81 cotton. the Exposition OF
the Cotton States naturally interests Rus
STA In an especial way. II is expected
that the invitation TO tske part in the
exposition will be accepted.
