deavor, but also a feature which will
surely be most interesting-that Of
working displays wherein the women
are actually demonstrating how this
work is done. This womans building
promises much. The feature l have
referred to represents the central idea
of the woman's department--that Is, to
show two things, primarily what the
women of the south DIRE doing, and
secondarily the advancement OF women
the world over, especially in the most
practical lines-this particularly to
show to the women OF the south, who
may need 1t or desire 1t, what fields
are opeI to them.

took with them a number OF represent

their friends in congress to aid this

OF success which Chicago's enterprise
was to attain they would have found

Atlanta. This exposition Is an Atlanta

The Cotton States Exposition was
opened at Atlanta September Is, the
day was one of great pomp, and the
Southern city being dressed in bunting
and the flags of all nations. Hundreds
of excursion trains brought thousands
of visitors from all parts of the country.
We give some pictures OF the main
buildings.
When the men OF the south returned
from the Worlds Fair they realized
that much had been lost by the south
ern states through their almost uniform
failure to be represented there. 1t was
not altogether their fault. however,
though it is perhaps true that most
southerners did not realize how big the
Worlds Fair would be or of how much
Importance il could be to the south
from an industrial point of view. Fol-
lowing on the dark days of reconstruc-
ton came period of economy which
was the outgrowth of, or the reaction
from. the profligacy of the days which
had just preceded. The people of the
southern states had seen their property
squandered by the irresponsible legis-
latures. and when they regained con-
troll their first determination was to
bind by immutable compacts their pub
lie servants so that there could never
be repetition OF such experiences.
Old General Bob" Toombs was the
spirit OF the constitutional convention
wherein Georgia made this compact,
and it is traditional that when the work
of the convention had been completed
he said: I'VE have locked the doors Of
the TREASURY and thrown the key away"

the south TO scure appropriations for
