NASHVILLE CENTENNIAL
As Seen by One of Birmingham's Fair Daughteqs-INfrs. Felton's Lec-
 ture--Colonial Exhibits.

Nashville June 26.-(Special Core spondence. .)-The Centennial is good show, surpassing my expectation in it's extent and variety. Today is Florida day. and there is quite number here from the Land of Flowers.
 The woman's building bears striking resemblance to the wolnan's building at the Worlds Fair. It is beautiful in de- sign and arrangement. Two of the most attractive rooms are the Mt. Vernon and the New York. The furniture m the Mt. Vernon room is Colonial in design and made up of native wild cherry. Portraits of Sevier, George Washington, Col. Wm. Polk and others adorn the walls. Among the relics of Colonial times is wooden chest given to Gen. Ma thaniel Green by George Washington, the one he used to carry continental money in.
 In the New York is some very fine work done on china by Miss E. Ilannltza Law renee. Hamiilon county has a beautiful room. and the library--well, true, we would like to finger longer there.

some choice selec ions, which were greef- ed with grs at applause. Miss Elizabeth Brown reeited one of Sydney Laniefs poems, but the orator of the day was Mrs. William H. Felton, of Georgia. Her subject was '"The Children of the Con- federacy; the Wards of the South. HNr discourse was an able and masterly ef- fort, holding in bond of sympathy the attention of her listeners during her re- marks. She paid her respects to Mrs. DeGraff5 nried, who a few years ago had contribution in the Century in regard to the morals of the factory girls of Geor- gia. which provoked at the time good deal of discus sion.
 The Alabama exhibit in fruits and veg etables in the commerce building is a very credt able display MT. L. c. Me Cord, of Guntersvilie. has charge of the exhibit there. At this writing 1 have not seen ths Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company's display in the forestry building, but have been old by several that it is one of the best exhibits in the grounds. The government building, while not so large, equals in detail the exhibit had at Chicago. In fact the Tennessee Centennial Exposition is the Worlds Fair" on a smaller scale, and deserves large patronage.

STRONGER-MORE COMPACT.
The Future of Democracy as Pictured
by a Young Democrat.

Representative Swanson, of Vir-
gipia, one of the most prominent of
the Younger democrats in the House
has this to say in public interview
about the future of the democratic
party: "There will be no reorgani-
ton of the democratic party. 1t is
today stronger and more compact.
more aggressive and buoyant than
any defeated party ever was before.
Without intimidation, coercion, or
corruption a vast majority of the
voters of this country today are in
accord with it. Having divorced
itself from the present administra-
ton, it is building near the affections
and the interests of the masses The
democratic party will continue its
aggressive fight for both gold and
silver as legal tender money and
against special privileges to trusts,
combines and corporations. Those
who failed to act with us in the last
election will most of them return to
the party. Many have already done
so. No concessions in principles OF
| policies will be made, though, to gain
| the support of these. Shorn of their
power of patronage and discredited
as loyal democrats those who do not
return will not be potential for evi
| in the future. The democracy pro
poses to beat no retreat from the ad'
vanced grounds it has taken"
