THE A1LANr4 EXP0SIT70N

The Atlanta Exposition is in full blast and the attendance is inereas- ing daily The Exposition is amag- nificent triumph for the South, and it stands as living monument to the patriotism, public spirit and enterprise of the Southern people. It is second only in importance, magnitude and splendor to the great Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1893. It is almost incredible that South ern city, practically unaided, could make so magnificent display IS the visitor can witness at Atlanta. The Exposition is, indeed, credit to that enterprising city on the hiils; and the large number of yisit- ors 1t is attracting from the North ernana Eastern States will do much toward the creation of an aera of good feeling" between the sections, aud go far toward the development of the South.
 It must be gratifying to all Ar kansans to know that Arkansas has splendid exhibit at this Exposition. The Arkansas exhibit is in the Agricultural building and is one of the most attractive displays on the grounds. However, frankness com pels the confession thaty too much attention has been paid tofone in dustry and product of the State to the exclusion of others. For in stance, after viewing the exhibit the visitor naturally becomes impressed with the belief that Arkansas is one large apple orchard, and that apples are the States chief product; for at the exhibit apples are made the most prominent of the entire display. Cotton, the States greatest pro duct-for which staple Arkansas took first premium over all competl- tors at the Worlds Fair. makes a very small part of the exhibit, whereas this important product should have been pusEed more prominently to the front. This is also true of other products of this State, which are equally as import ant in attracting immigration as fine apples.
 But the most important exhibit to the South, in an industaial way, at least, is the exhibit of the Georgia Manufacturers Association, and this exhibit is important because il shows the resources and possibilities of the South in a misunderstanding way. In this building are displayed manufactured cotton goods, prints, agricultural implements, wagons, machinery, furniture. shoes, etc, etc, al the products of Georgia mills and factories. This exhibit is exceedingly creditable to the South, and will likely be the means of greatly accelerating the industrial movement in the Southern States. It establishes the fact beyond per adventure that the South offers ex- ceptional opportunities for the profitable investment of capital in manufacturing enterprises, and that cotton mills, wagon factories, furni- ture factories and similar industries can be operated as proftably-in fact more profitably-in the South than elsewhere.
 It IS these things that are most needed in the South. We have the raw material righta our very doors, and when Northern and Eastern capitalists and manufacturers be- come convinced-as they are be. coming convinced-that the South is the most profitable field for the establishment of factories and mane- faitories, then the industrial move. ment in the Southern States, now in its very incipiencg, will receive . wonderful impetus.
