ALABAMA'S GREAT EXHIBIT
A Typical Display of Her Won
derful Resources.
A REVELATION TO VISITORS
Who Are Astounded at the Magnitude of Her
Wealth—Birmingham's Public Schools
Take First Prize,
Atlanta, Nov. 22.—(Staff Correspond
ence.)—The Cotton States and Interna
tional exposition Is a great show. It is
a magnificent monument to the indomit
able will and perseverence of this great
southern town, and the benefits to ac
crue from it will never be fully realized
by the present generation. Every sec
tion and every community In the south
will feel the magic touch of the capitalist
and the artisan attracted here by this
wonderful collection of her resources and
products.
Every state, town and vicinity almost
In this American republic Is contributing
Us quota to the crowds that come here
to see what we have and learn what we
are doing with it, I stood at the entrance
gate for quite a while a day or so ago
while the great stream of • humanity
poured through and watched the faces
and costumes and listened to the utter
ances of the passers-by. It was a motly
crowd, composed of dozens of nationali
ties, the American, of course, largely
predominating. But there were to be seen
representatives from almost every civ
ilized country.
The exhibits to be seen In the different
buildings come from almost 100 countries
in both hemispheres and represent nearly
everything manufactured or produced.
But the best display comes from our own
beloved Alabama—and from the Bir
mingham mineral district, if you please.
It Is not my intention to go into a de
tailed account of all that is exhibited at
this exhibition, nor would I consume the
time of the reader in calling over the
names of the exhibitors. It would be a
useless waste of time In view of the fact
that nearly if not quite all of the people
in Alabama have been here and seen for
themselves wnat is to be seen.
Hut I would call the reader’s attention
to the Alabama exhibit. It Is par excel
lence the exhibit at the exposition. There
are many others that surpass the Alaba
ma exhibit in point of beauty and artis
tic arrangement, but as a practical illus
tration of her resources Alabama's ex
hibit stands far and away ahead of any
thing else here.
The Commercial Association.
To the Commercial Association of Ala
bama is due the sole credit for this
splendid display. The board of manag
ers created by this association last
spring has worked hard and faithful to
make a creditable showing for Alabama,
and how well they have succeeded is at
tested by the universal commendation
passed on the exhibit by the thousands
who dally Inspect It. No other exhibit bn
the grounds has been so favorably dis
cussed by those In quest of Information
as has this one, and it is bound to result
In untold benefits to the great common
wealth which is destined at no distant
date to take her place at the head of this
magnificent sisterhood of states.
Perhaps all Alabamians are familiar
with the struggle made before the last
legislature to secure an appropriation for
an Alabama building and an Alabama
exhibit at the Atlanta exposition and
the subsequent defeat of the measure.
It was a splendid fight the friends of
progress and prosperity made to have the
state creditably represented at the expo
sition, but the opposition developed too
much strength and defeated the bill.
The business men and developers of the
state realized that a failure to b<i prop
erly represented at the exposition would
give Alabama a black eye, from which
she would not recover in years, and the;*
went to work to do what the legislature
refused to do. The Commercial Associ
ation of Alabama., composed of the com
mercial bodies of the various cities of
the state, which had been organized the
year before, was called together for the
purpose of considering the matter. The
result was the creation of a board of
managers who should have entire control
of the exhibit and who were authorized
to solicit contributions for a fund to be
used in defraying the expenses of the
same.
The board at once entered upon its du
ties, and by hard and persistent work
got together the splendid collection of
exhibits displayed In the Alabama build
ing. To do this required no little work,
and for months the members of tills
board were untiring in their efforts to
have the state's resources creditably
represented at the exposition.
Necessarily there were tedious delays,
but Manager Anderson and his assist
ants knew no such word as fail.
Maj. Frank Y. Anderson.
The board of managers for the Ala
bama exhibit elected Maj. Frank Y. An
derson of Birmingham as manager,and In
this action no mistake was made, as re
sults will testify.
Major Anderson. In accepting the work
thus Imposed on him, did so with the de
termination to make a complete success
bf It. And In this he did not fail.
He was ably assisted in the work by
Mr. T. W. Pratt, the Huntsville member
of the board. Secretary Thompson and
bne or two other members of the board.
The Contributions.
At a meeting of the Commercial asso
ciation the various cities represented

was raised to assure a successful ex
hibit.

As will be seen by the above statement
Birmingham contributed $36^0. while all
the rest of the state contributed only
$2499, or barely more than two-thirds as
much as Birmingham alone contributed.
Naturally it would follow that Bir
mingham would furnish the bulk of the
exhibits.
Prats3 from Iron Men.
In speaking of the Alabama exhibit
a few days ago, the manager of the Penn
sylvania building remarked that it was
superior to anything on the grounds.
Said he: "You have attempted to show
what you have in Alabama, and in that
you have succeeded. Had you underta
ken to exhibit your manufactured pro
ducts it would have entailed a world of
work and required more space than the
exposition allotted to any state. But
hero you have samples of Iron ore. coal,
coke, pig iron, etc., so arranged that vis
itors cannot but be lr%pressed with the
greatness of your district.”
One attractive feature about the coal
and iron exhibit from the district Is the
accompanying analyses. For Instance,
a lump of coal is shown and by it Is its
analysis and a statement as to the cost
of mining a ton and the price of the coal
per ton at the mine. Pig Iron is treated
in the same way.
An iron manufacturer from Cleveland,
O., after looking at the Iron, coal and
coke exhibit remarked that Alabama
could control the iron markets of the
world. Until he had seen this exhibit he
did not believe pig iron could be made
In Alabama at the extremely low price
claimed. Put that convinced him.
Similar statements to the two above
mentioned are heard every day.
They Are Interested.
Mr. G. W. West of this city, the assist
ant general manager of the exhibit, told
me that iron men from the north, on see
ing the coal and Iron exhibit, became
very much Interesded and piled him
with all sorts of questions. He said they
wanted to know how many runs a fur
nace in this district mad^ln twenty
four hours, the pressure, wages paid la
bor and various questions bearing upon
the subject.
It stands Alone.
For uniqueness find practicability the
Alabama exhibit stands alone. The build
ings of the other states, with two or
three exceptions, are used almost solely
as reception rooms. They are provided
with pianos and a few newspapers and
magazines, and some of them are dec
orated with handsome pictures, but none
of them, except Georgia and Florida, and
perhaps one or two others, make any at
tempt at displaying their products.
Alabama's building is filled with the
product of her soil and her mines and
iter furnaces. Every inch of siiace Is
utilized In this effort, which will result
in great benefit to the state at large and
the 131rmlngham district in particular.
Throngs of Visitors.
Of the thousands of visitors that go
into the exposition grounds daily the
great majority of them do not leave un
til they have seen the Alabama exhibit,
and all go away singing the praises of
matchless Alabama.
Over COO people register at the Alabama
building each day. This seems like a
small number, but when it is considered
that this means one a minute for ten
hours In the day It makes a good show
ing. The Alabama exhibit is more talked
about and more favorably discussed than
any other state exhibit here.
The Board’s Work.
After the formation of the board of
managers much work was required with
the railroads to get the board in such
working shape as was necessary to carry
out their plans. This necessarily involv
ed delay, and during that delay the
ardor and enthusiasm created at the Bir
mingham meeting of the Alabama Com
mercial association died out in many of
the Interior towns, with a partial loss
of intertst in many of the larger ones,
so that when the work of raising the fund
for the building was entered upon In
earnest only a few places, comparatively
speaking, responded. And It was the un
certainty that rendered the work of the
board the more arduous and worrying,
and that they succeeded so well speaks in
lasting praise of their efforts. In reality
they started out to take no kind of de
feat. Success was their only motto, and
success they have achieved in a most
remarkable degree, placing the entire
state under a debt of obligation to them
for their patriotic and unselllsh services
so generously given to this enterprise.
Chert.
The Impression prevailed at the outset
that the Alabama building was unfin
ished, and some criticism was made be
cause no floor had been put in it. But
the exhibits were of such a heavy nature
that no ordinary floor could have held
them, though the stronger and main rea
son why no floor was laid was to find
a place to exhibit the "chert” from the
Birmingham district, which all visitors
now admire so much, the board having
no other place to put this material save
In the main passageway of the building,
and it has most admirably served Its pur
pose.
The Exhibits.
The exhibits are more typical of Ala
bama's wonderful resources than those
contained in any other state building,
and by far the best ever before given to
the world This is the universal verdict,
though there has been no attempt at any
thing like the elaborateness found in
some of the buildings.
There ore a number of the exhibits,
however, that deserve special mention
and much more space than the purposes
of this urlTcle will permit. Taking them

main entrance, the first exhibit is that of
the government weather service for Ala
bama, prepared by Superintendent Chaf
fee of Montgomery. This is a most thor
ough collection of data regarding the cli
matic changes and rainfall, and shows(
Alabama to possess the most equable of;
climates, with a guarantee of seasons fori
all crops raised in her borders.
The Jonas-Horton Improved Cultivator
from Huntsville. Ala., and the Hattie
Clydo sub-soil plow from Guntersville,
Ala., follow in their order, on left of main
entrance.
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad compa
ny’s exhibit is next, and this display
shows some excellent specimens of fruits,
grasses and cereals.
Furithurst’s display, from the new
town o£ Frulthurst, Cleburne county,
Ala., the property of the Frulthurst Win
ery association, is one of the most at
tractive exhibits in the building. For
specimens of grapes, pears and peaches
no collection In the California building
can surpass it, while their model vine
yard attracts general attention.
Next, on the left of the western en
trance, is the exhibit of the East Bir
mingham Corrogatlng and Roofing com
pany, showing a splendid class of work
and In great variety. This company
furnished the material for covering the
annex to the building, and it was a most
generous contribution from a public
spirited company.
Mobile's exhibit is next and presents a
great variety of the manufactured prod
ucts of the Gulf City. The display of
home made cigars shows well for this
industry and Mobile Is destined to be
come a rival of Key West in the manu
facture of fine cigars. There are also in
this exhibit photographic scenes from the
harbor and shipping, giving a splendid
showing for Mobile’s port trade.
There are minor displays of min
erals which will be seen from the follow
ing list to comprise a greater variety
than even Alabamians were aware of to1
any great extent.
A display of kaolin and haloyclte,
from Allen Springs mines, DeKalb coun
ty, Alabama, shows a most wonderful
deposit, which for quality and quantity
experts say has no superior on this con
tinent for the manufacture of pottery.,
ware. Also a splendid collection of kao
lin from John Neff. Tuscumbla, Ala.
There is a collection of copper and Iron

Standard coal company, Brookwood,
Ala.—Represents the properties of this
company and shows products of the

Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing
company, Thomas, Ala.—This display
should be seen to be appreciated, as it
would he difficult to form an accurate
Idea of It from any description that could
be given. It is a structural exhibit, con
taining all the elements that enter into
the production of iron, so tastefully ar
ranged that the sentiment and beauty
of the exhibit vie with each other for su
premacy in the mind of an appreciative
beholder.
The sentiment is: "Thomas, Jefferson
county, the keystone of the arch of Ala
bama’s mineral wealth, destined to span
the world.” The letters are in gold on a
background of coke, pig iron and ore in
tertwined with blue bunting, the broken
ends of the pig iron showing forth in
scintillations that rival genuine dia
monds. while the globe on which the
words “The World" appear, Is a perfect
globe with latitudinal and longitudinal
lines all cut from a mammoth piece of
flaxing stone. A white keystone in the
tap of the arch represents, also, a Penn
sylvanian tribute to Alabama’s match
less wealth.
The Slosst Iron and Steel company.
Birmingham, Ala.—They have perhaps
the most complete exhibit of their pro
ducts of any other company represented
in the building. While not so artistically
arranged as the Thomas exhibit it is still
very-dastefuily arranged and. quite elab
orately decorated, presenting a very
striking and attractive display. They
have pyramids of coal, coke, ore, lime
rock and pig iron, with tram cars loaded
for the furnace in the background.
The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Bailroad
company have by far the largest and
most massive specimens or meir pro
ducts. not only In the Alabama building,
hut on the entire grounds. From huge
boulders of brown ore to an Immense
shaft of red ora 22 feet In height, a sec
tion of a vein of red mountain ore of
which this company has 15,000 acres to
great blocks of coal from their various
mines, some of which are the largest ever
transported. There is an air of vastness
conveyed through this entire exhibit,
such as more fittingly illustrated'Ala
bama's unbounded mineral wealth than
perhaps in all the other exhibits com
bined.
The Corona Coal and Coke company
is another of the most attractive of the
coal exhibits. They are In the "annex,"
just east of the main building, and their
exhibit is one of the attractive features
of the entire exposition, an operating
coal mine. A large vein of coal Is shown,
with a frontage of some 40 feet, with two
openings, into which electric tram cars
enter and come out. loaded with “ black
diamonds," while visitors can go In and
see an electric coal mining machine at
work, with miners' lamps in the darkness
—a veritable mine, and thousands flock
to see it.

DRUG AND
Birmingham's Public Schools.
On the second floor of the Alabama
building, and facing the front entrance,
is found the exhibit of the Birmingham
public schools. This exhibit has attract
ed wide attention among educational
people and thousands have visited the
building for the sole purpose of seeing it.
Now that it is known that this exhibit
has carried away the educational honors
of the exposition, the interest of the pub
lic in this magnificent display of the
Birmingham public schools is not likely
to be diminished.
To describe this exhibit in such a way
as to do it justice would be a difficult
task. To the casual observer, who is
not skilled in the arts of progressive
school work, the display is nothing more
than an incongruous collection of maps,
geographical and historical; charts, il
lustrating a variety of school studies,
such as history, reading, botany, zoology
and geology. The Illustrations of the
methods of studying plants and flowers
are beautiful and attractive. The work
of the schools in drawing is represented
from the primary through the high
school by the work of the pupils. While
the work of each grade may be studied
as a unit, the continuity of the work as
it advances from grade to grade, and de
velops from the feeble efforts of the tyro
to the completed accomplishments of the
graduate, shows consummate art In the
preparation and arrangement of the ex
hibit. To the expert the Incongruous ele
ments of the display present the results I
of a developed system, and underneath
the details of maps and drawings, class
exercises and examination papers, the
methods of progression may be read.
One of the most striking features of
the exhibit is the application of drawing
in an almost endless and numberless
variety of ways, to the mastery and ex
pression of thought in the ordinary
topics of the school curriculum. This
use and application of drawing seem to
constitute the motive for the study of
drawing In the schools, rather than the
principle of “art for art’s sake."
Among other features of the exhibit
are large photographs of Birmingham's
elegant school buildings, photographs of
the several graduating classes of the
high school and an exhibit of the Yancey
club of the high school, with a beauti
fully framed picture of Hon. William L.
Yancey in the center.
A part of the Birmingham school ex
hibit is to he found in the "model school
building,” where are to be found the ed
ucational exhibits of Atlanta, Cincin
nati and other cities. It would seem as
if Birmingham was not satisfied to be
alone in the Alabama building, but
wished to invite comparison between her
school exhibit and that of other cities by
standing side by side with them, and
right gloriously has she stood the test.
This exhibit is now noted throughout
the country, having been awarded the
medal for excellence in "system of in
struction. methods of teaching and pu
pils’ work.”
The only other public schools awarded
medals are those of Chicago, in drawing,
and Philadelphia, In sewing.
Birmingham may thus feel proud of
her school exhibit, since It has given her 1
an enviable reputation throughout the
country. W. J. B.
