IN g word, the city is being run by the

with which this and other departments are
being run, and they all unite In giving
Atlanta credit for the best management

Baltimore, Nd, Sept lin honor Of
the opening of the Atlanta exposition, the
Manufacturers Record will publish this
week letters from members of the cabinet
and governors, giving their views upon
the value of the exposition to the south
and to the country at large in bringing
about a better acquaintanceship between
all sections
Gov. Greenhalge of Massachusetts says:
The exposition will prove greatly bene-
fetal not only to the southern states,
but to all parts Of the country, in creating
a more friendly feeling between the busi-
ness men of all sections and bringing to
their attention more prominently than
ever. before the vast resources of the
Gov. Stone of Missouri says: although
a vast deal has been said and written
about the wonderful resources of the
southern states, the people of the northern
and eastern sta tes and Europe have only
faint conception of the truth. The eX-
position will do much to impress upon Vis-
itors the fact that the south is the field
for future enterprise"
Gov. Woodbury. of Vermont says: 1T
seems to me that the aggregation of sam
pies of the products of the soil and of the
manufactures of the south cannot fail IN
centering the thought and interest of the
people of the whole United States upon the
possibilities of the future of that section.
There is probably no section of our couu-
try which presents more inviting field
for capital and labor when judiciousIy
invested than the cotton states. There
is considerable prejudice by the people
of the north against that section on ac-
count of the alleged want of tOleratiOn
of political opinions. When this idea shall
be dissipated by the Punishment of all
reason for it, then the south may expect
to receive in a much larger measure the
help and influence of the thrifty people
of the north"
Secretary of the Navy Herbert says:
atlanta deserves great credit for the
zeal, energy and perseverance she has
put into this enterprise which must prove
of great benefit not only to Georgia, bus
to the whole of the south. The entire
south has entered into this exposition in
spirit which insures the setting forth
in a most advantageous and attractive
way the wonderful resources of this sec
ton of our country, which possesses with
its mild climate, it's fertile SOIL its un-
limited stores of coal and iron and its
great forests, the capacity of supporting
a population as dense as that of Bel
gium."
gin to estimate the advantages that will
be conferred upon the south as the result
of the Atlanta exposition, which is GER
tain TO portray in the most extensive and
potential manner the varied bounties in
the way of natural products with which
the south is blessed"
Ex-Gov Northen of Georgia says: "The
coming of so large a number of people
from the states north of us, win furnish
an opportunity for better acquaintance,
and through this means, the warm-hearted
hospitality of the people of the south will
be appreciated as never before Many
things necessary to be understood must
be personally known, and in this way the
great masses of the people of the two sec
tions will be solidified into a common
union without distinctions and without
differences of feeling or of purpose. This
sympathy of feeling and union of pur-
pose will necessarily evidence a union of
interest and through this channel further
the commercial development of the south,
with its general resources of marvellous
wealth"
Gov. Stone of Mississippi, says: whilst
the benefits to the south arising from
bringing to us as close observers our
friends of the north and east are great
beyond calculation, l think the greatest
benefit will result TO us from the enlarge
ment of our own scope of vision and a
more generous appreciation of our own in
herent advantages give spur to our am
bitiOn and fix purpose within US to
move upon a more enterprising plane Of
action. Speaking for Mississippi, 1 can
give assurance of profound interest in,
and hearty good will toward the exposl-
ton. 1 am confident of lasting benefits
to us as a nation of people with one great
purpose. the growth and upbuilding of a
common country, the dissipation of preju-
dice and the mingling upon plane of mu-
tual benefit by those from every section"
