FIOrfdn at the Atlanta Fair.
Sanford. Fla, Feb. 12.-There is one
Plant in Florida that has not dropped its
head before the terrible billiards Of the
past month. and that is President II. II.
Plant Of the Plant system of railways
and steamships and hotels and of the
Southern Express Company-al Of which
will be great losers by the recent dlsas-
ters that have come upon nearly all the
erritory covered by his lines. Instead
IF crying over split milk and reducing
he size and expense of his proposed ex-
nibit at the Cotton States and Interna-
l.onal Exposition in Atlanta. with liber-
alty worthy of unbounded praise, he to-
lay gives orders to enlarge the space
already agreed upon and increase the dis
llay to be made by the Plant system. He
aas faith in F'lorida's recuperative powers
md believes that between this day of dis
aster and gloom and the opening of the
exposition her SOL and climate and her
men and women of energy and public
Dirit win rehabilitate the waste places
md provide materials for a grand dis
play of what Florida can do despite an
occasional blizzard.
This praiseworthy action on the part Of
President Plant, whose interests are also
deeply involved IN the present disasters
has aroused a most hopeful feeling wher-
sVer il has been made known, and will
prove to stimulate other exhibitors that
nay have become faint-hearted. 1t will
not only be a great thing for the Atlanta
exposition, but the whole state VIII be
stimulated by il. A generous rivalry will
be aroused as TO which section of the
state can show the greatest evidence Of
recuperation in its exhibits OF grove, orch
ard, vineyard, garden and farm products.
No better advertisement could be made
Of Florldas wealth of productiveness all
the year around.
