The close of the present centuryit it appears
is to be marked with great eXpos!uoAs.
First there came the Worlds Fair, at Chica-

Sition, the Atlanta undertaking and now the

into the Union These shows have 9een 0.
untold benefit and their effects Will extend
over wears and years. Not only 10 they
bring together thousands anu thousands OF
peopIe from various States, but they are ed
ucators-,he most pleasant kind OF instruct
ors. They show what o great and what a
fertile country this is we live in. They eX-
emplity the progress and thrift OF certain sec
tons of the country, and give the object les
son to ether States. If CaroEnians who
went to Nashville only accept one thing they
saw in the Volunteer State it will De tnat
much of gain. Other States may catco
other ideas, but the Palmetto State could not
do wiser or better thing than TO model
her roads after the magnificent pixies that
traverse the section Of Tennessee visited II a
trip incident to the Exposition.
When President Aull, Of the State freSS
Association, announced that he had ar
ranged for trip to Nashville for the mem
bers of the Association there was JOY IN the
camp. The proposed trip was on pleaSantas
well as profitable lines, and very many more
than were able to 60 hoped to have that
pleasure. The newspaper man, however
cannot always arrange TO get OF when ne
elects Mr.. Aull thought Of the eonvenlenceS
of making the trip in Pullman car, and
happy suggestion 1t was, for 1t brought TO-
gether most congenial set OF newspaper
workers and was an economical plan. Inc
car "Dnieper" was in waiting for the party
st Cross Hill, after the editors had 8 most

THE RAILROAD MEN.
There was brief stop in Atlanta on Fri
day morning, Just long enough for comfort
able breakfast at Durant's and stroll about
the last Exposition City. The Seaboard Air
Line, which always does the right thing, had
the special to arrive in Atlanta on time.
Mr.. J. Il. Latimer, Of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis road, anticipated the
arrival Of the party on his road and came on
to Atlanta with the tourists. The Western
and Atlanta and the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis are under one management,
aadit IS a great railroad system. 1t runs
fine and fast trains, and knows how to make
things pleasant for its patrons. General
Passenger Agent Harmon, Of the Western
and Atlantic, hoped to go on with the Caro-
hnians, but could not do so, and Mr.. J. Il.
Lstimer, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis Road, made the trip, and pleas
snter companion or better chaperon could
not have been secured The Western and
Atlantic passes through battlefield after bat
tlefeld, and no one knows more about them
or their traditions than does Mr.. Latimer.

of the gigantic sswar between the States"
was there more notable display Of adroit,
wary, far-reaching strategic genius and pru-
dent, patient, watchful care on the part OF
the great commanders; of jealous, skilful
and fearless leadership by their field officers,
or of more heroic bravery, fortitude and
cheerful endurance by the soldiery, than in
those of 1868 and 1864, during which the
world became familiar with the names Of
Cbickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringold,
Rocky Face, Dalton, Resaca, Altoona, henne-
sew Mountain and Atlanta.

Union; while Bragg, and afterwards John
ston, with Hardee, Hood, Polk, Longstreet,
Cleburne, Breckenridge, Buckner, Forrest,
French, Walthall and Wheeler, with brother
chieftains as valiant and devoetd, showed
that the South had sent her brainiest and
brayest to endesvor, With the fifty thousand
men, to stem the tide Of invasion which was
rolling through Georgia, the keystone State
of the Confederscy, against Atlanta, which
was then, as now, considered the 'heart of
the South
It is along this route that the Western and
Atlantic runs.
