III per cont; Conf, dcralcs lost In Civil
war, per cent.
The history building is largely de-
voted to relies OF Andrew Jackson and
he seems to have given the world no
end OF valuable relics Governor Rus
soil, In his speech, claimed jackson as
Il native of North Carolina: tho his!n-
ries generally put him down as a North
| CnrOlinian, but in his brief but capital
talk with Con. II. II. llcmphili, gave
these historians some facts to think
about, and II they arc willing to accept
, facts ana not fiction, they will admit
| that jackson was born in South Caro-
lima, rs Gen. Ilcmphill showed. Gen
Hcmphill's talk was one of the few adj
dresses made on such occasion, that
Will be remembered and spoken of by
those who seek facts. Lieutenant Gov
crnor McSwccncy on the same occasion
, made happy and crcuitublc response
Tor his State. The Nashville news
= papers, which did not startlc South
! Carol inians, for The News and Courier
! Is fur better paper than any pub
lishcd in Nashville, insisted on calling
the Lieutenant Governor of South Car
! olina MIR. Sweeney and not Mr. Me
, Sweeney.
NEGRO EXHIBIT y FAILURE.
The negro building is quite large,
and is not nearly filled. The news
| papers say the exhibitors haven't the
| money with which 20 gct the exhibits
out of the dcpoLs. The exhibits IN this
building arc not rs good u they should
be. The only thing in the hall from
South Carolina that WAS seen w;is Il
frame Of pictures, showing the facul-
ty OF Bcncdict University at Column.
| bia
y native Of DahomcY and prize
trick horse seem to hr the chief attrac-
tiOns in this building.
The pity is that the colorcd race docs
not accept such opportunities to show
| the world what it. is doing. and can do,
instead OF exhibiting pictures, Il few
! pieces OF bought mechanism, some
| hand work und cases OF embroidery and
crochctinG.
VANITY FAIR.
"VaniLy Fair" is to Nashville what
the Midway was to Chicago and Attain
til. There is something there To suit
the young and the old. the women and
the mon. The Grant scr-saw is the
| feature OF the row, rs was the Ferris
wheel ut Chicago. Along the crow"
there arc the fakil's attractions, some
Of which arc good and others better:
! Tent, Grant see-kaw, Sliuin's. palarr of
illusions, Spuin's mirror maze, Chi
ncSc village, cyclOlnma, old plantation,
shooting the chute, Coloruho gold
mine, phantom swing, ostrich farm,
wild animal aroma, Moorish palace,
chamber of horrors, night and morn.
ing, California big tree, Cuban village,
Ncbraslia sod house, Lincoln and Davis
cabins, Edson's mirage, Rocntgcn
rays. streets Of Cairo.
COL. AVERILLS EXHIBIT.
One Of tho most artistic and ut the
| same time Representatives exhibits is
that Of the Georgia Railroad, which
has been arranged by Col. John II.
| Avorill, rs special commissioner. Col.
Avcrill has done his work we'll, and the
display of the Georgia Railroad is COM
plimentcd ON all sides.
BELLE MEADE FARM.
The hurried trip to Belle Meade
stock farm was one OF the plcasuntcst
| Incidents of the trip. Gen. Jackson, Il
typical Southernor, owrs II blue grass
| farm of 5000 acres. on which he raises
! horses, cattle, vegetables Hud with all
has II handsome home. Grn. jackson
is q great admircr Of Calhoun and
South Carolina, and took special pleas
urc in entertaining the Carolinians.
Gen. Jackson is the owner Of 'Iro-
quois," Duke Blackburn and other eel
ebratcd horses. He has about 2OO
head of thoroughbred and grade cat
tic, splendid dairy, and n game pre-
serve stocked with deer and game.
