Buffalo. sNssY., April 1.-THE Southern
states bid air to have the largest repre-
sertation at Buffalo which they have had

hibit. He has several slabs of handsome
white marble, one large slab OF monument
tai granite, and four large squares of
translucent marble, one of which clocks
like al hug -moss-agate and shows maGnlr-
cent effects in white and black, Another
of these translucent slabs is pure white:
the third is gray with dashes of a darker
gray; the fourth resembles a red and gold
sunset, 80 rich is the, commingling of col
ors.
There is fine collection Of the clays OF
Georgia and the products manufactured
from It.. Another feature of the exhibit

GREETED by the citizens of North Carolina
now in Buffalo that no appropriation was
made by the last Legislature for an ex-
hibit at the Pan-American Exposition.

more wisely expended In showing the peo-
pie of the Western Hemisphere the re-
sources of the state and in advertising
her marvellous climate and beautiful
scenery.
