BuffaIo's Great Exposition.
The order of business was pleasantly in
terrupted by the arrival of a delegation Of
prominent New Workers in the interest of
the Pan-American Exposition. which will
be held in Buffalo, N. Y, IN 1901. The
party consisted of John B. Weber com
mission general of the exposition; Con-
gresham W. H. Ryan of the Thirty-seo-
ond New York district, Joseph E. Garvin,
ex-eontroller of the city of Buffalo; Nor
man E. Mack, proprietor of the Buffalo
Times, and A. NJ. Wheeler.
The object of the visit Of the party was
to interest the citizens of Georgia to the
extent of making an exhibit at the expo
eition. When il is considered that the
purpose of the exposition is to stimulate
trade between North and South America,
the advantage of an exhibit for Georgia
can readily be seen. Ex-Gov. Northen
met the party at the Kimball. and accom-
panied them 10 the capitol, where the
plans were laid before Gov. Gambler and
the House of Representatives.
The Speaker warmly welcomed the dele
cation and introduced ex-Congressman
Weber, who spoke interestingly of Buff
falo and the exposition He expressed
the hope that Georgia would be repre-
scented and that he might meet the legis-
lators in that thriving New York city.
Mr. Little, IN reply, stated that while
constitutional provisions made it impos-
Eible for the general assembly to make
an appropriation for state exhibit, still
Georgia had a way of doing such things
and he was sure the state would be rep
resented at Buffalo.
The idea on which the exposition will
be built" said Congressman Ryan. "is an
entirely new one and there is no doubt
that it will vastly benefit both the North
and South American continents. We in.
tend 90 show the people Of South America
what we have to sell and give them a
chance TO show us what they nave to sell
THE United States government has ap.
propriated $500 900. the state of New YORK
has given 100000. and the city of Buff
faIo has raised 81 10000 There is in sigh
for the exposition S. 100000, so you may
know what tremendous show We are go
ing to have.
Missouri, Connecticut and many of tn,
Northern states whose constitutions al
have set aside sums for the exhibits o
their resources. The South should be par
ticularly interested in the exposition. OF
