SOUTH CAROLINA NOT IN IT
South Carolina, as a State, hGs no exhibit
on the grounds. There IS nothing to show
that South Carolina mas any industries or
anything else There is no need to under
take TO explain Why there is no State ex-
hibit. Suffice to say that while Utah and
Mexico all have displays and invitations to
settlers there is nothing from South Carolina
except the exhibit of the Harris Lithia
Company. .Mr. Harris never misses an op-
portunity % advertise his far-famed lithia
waters ard he has it on sale all over the
grounds IS well as in this city. Mr.. Harris
has arran red handsome booth TO show the
lithia water for which he is finding such a
large sale. Mr.. Harris will have the lithia
waters advertised by the fireworks display
in few days.
HOW HISTORY IS ILLUSTRATED.
One of the most inter esting buildings on
the grounds is devoted to history. 1t con-
tains exhibits and relics ofthe Revolutionary,
Mexican and Confederate wars, and An
drew Jackson, who is the special pride Of
Tennessee at this time, has q large place in the
picture. There is an interesting statement
on one of the walls in connection with the
civil war: it shows these figures:
Forces engaged-Federal,2 1853, 1872; Con-
federate, 600, 100.
At date of surrender the armies stood
United States of america, 1000 Con-
federate States OF America, c72 OPS.
The l7th South Carolina regiment lost at
Manassas G6 per cent; loss Of Germans IN
Franco German war, 10 per cent; Federals
lost in civil war, A. per cent; Confederates
lost in civil war, per cent.
The history building is largely devoted to
relics Of Andrew Jackson, and he seems to
have given the world no end of valuable
relics. Governor Russell. in his speech,
claimed Jackson as native of North Carroll
ma: the histories generally put him down as
North Carolinian, bat in his brief, but capital
talk with Gen. R. L. Hemphill, gave these
historians some facts to think about, and II
they are willing TO accept facts and not &c
ton they will admit that Jackson was born
in South Carolina, as Gen. Hemphill showed.
Cen Hemphilps talk was one OF the few ad-
dresses made OF such occasions that will
be remembered and spoken Of by those who
seek facts. Lieutenant Governor McSwee-
ney en- the same occasion made a happy and
creditable response for his State. The
Nashville newspapers, which did not startle
South Carolinians, for The News and Courier
is a far better paper than any published IN
Nashville, insisted on calling the Lieutenant
Governor of South Carolina Mr.. Sweeney
and not Mr.. McSweeney.
NEGRO EXHIBIT A FAILURE.
The negro building is quite large, and IS
not nearly filed. The newspapers say the
exhibitors haven't the money with which to
get the exhibits out of the depots. The ex-
hibits in this building are not as good as
they should be. The only thing in the hall
from South Carolina that was seen was
frame of pictures, showing the faculty Of
Benedict University at Columbia.
4 native of Dahomey and prize trick
horse seem to be the chief attractions in
this building.
The pity is that the coloored race does not
accept such opportunities to show the world
what,t is doing, and can do, instead OF fex-
hibiting pictures, few pieces OF bought
mechanism, some handwork and cases Of
embroidery and crocheting.
VANITY FAIR.
"Vanity Fair" is to Nashville what the
Midway was to Chicago and Atlanta There
is something there to suit the young and the
old, the women and the men. The Grant
see-saw is the feature of the row, as was the
Ferris wheel at Chicago. Along the crow
there are the falkers attractions, some Of
which are good and others better: Tent
Grant see-5aw, SPANS palace of illusions,
Spain mirror maze, Chinese village, cyclic
rama old plantation, shooting the chute,
Colorado gold mine, phantom swing, ostrich
farm, wild animal arena, Moorish palace,
chamber OF horrors, night and morning,
California; big tree, Cuban village, Ne
braska sod house, Lincoln and Davis cabins.
Edison's mirage, Roentgen rays, streets OF
Cairo.
COL. AVERILLS EXHIBIT.
One OF the most artistic and at the same
time representative exhibits is that of the
Georgia Railroad, which has been arranged
by Col. John H. AveriiI, as special commits
sioner. Col AverilI has done MS work well,
and the display Of the Georgia Railroad Is
complimented on al sides.
BELLE MEADE FARM.
stock farm was one Of the pleasant incidents
OF the trip. Gen. Jackson, a typical South
ernor, owns blue grass farm 5000 acres
on which he raises horses, cattle, vegetables
and with all was handsome home Gen.
Jackson is q great admirer of Calhoun and
South Carolina, and took special pleasure in
entertaining the Carolinians. Gen. Jackson
is the over Of '.Iroquois," Duke Blackburn
and other celebrated horses. He has about
2gohead of thoroughbred and graded cattle,
splendid lairy, and a game preserve stocked
with deer and game.
