After a vacation delightfully spent
with relatives in Atlanta and In seeing
the great exposition, 1 am once more at
home, and enter with renewed energy
upon my duties, feeling that each glimpse
of the outside world but impresses upon
every thoughtful person the power of
the present day journalism and the im
mense responsibility that rests upon each
man and woman connected with the pro
fession. And a view of the exposition
gives a fresh impetus to southern hope,
for it demonstrates the force of southern
energy and southern genius, and what
can be accomplished by our section by
properly directed zeal. The fragmentary
notes given this morning were written
early during my visit to Atlanta, but be
cause of some irregularity of the mail'
service they were belated, and in conse
quence the second letter, which, arrived
first, was published on Thursday, mak
ing matters appear a little awkward.
When the Southern railway train of
the Georgia division pulled out of Bir
mingham on Wednesday afternoon, De
cember 4, for Atlanta, it was filled with
valuable human freight—with a goodly
company of Birmingham folk, all bent
on seeing the Cotton States and Interna
tional exposition, and seeing it under
pleasant and congenial circumstances.
On the train were Col. and Mrs. L. V.
Clarke, Capt. and Mrs. Joseph F. John
ston, Mrs. J. M. Davidson, Miss Irene
Dozier, Mr. and Mrs. James Bailey, be
sides Misses .Elise and Sue Alien Ball,
myself and others, bent upon the same
agreeable mission. Through the falling
shades of night we sped towards the
southern metropolis, Atlanta, to which
all eyes and feet have been turned since
the middle of last September, and at near
ly midnight we found ourselves amid the
great throng which lines the car shed
at all hours of the day and night. Some
of us were greeted by watting loved ones
and borne to hospitable homes, while
others found comfortable quarters in the
great hotels of this bustling-'city.
I have mentioned that among the Bir
mingham contingent were Mr. and Mrs.
Bailey, but a mere mention will not do
for a bride and groom who took their
friends so completely by surprise by
their marriage that it was necessary to
have explanations made, even to news
paper people. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were
quietly married Wednesday afternoon.
It was a pretty home wedding, and the
happy young couple drove immediately
to the railway station and took the train
for Atlanta. But some of Mr. Bailey’s
time was pleasantly occupied while we
waited fo^ a belated train connection
in explaining. In the most unruffled man
ner possible under the circumstances,
why he was making the trip, and why he
was not alone. He quite rejoiced in hav
ing successfully escaped newspaper men
tion, but I think he found that there is
as much tender interest attached to
bride and groom after the marriage cere
mony as before it.
Well, the splendid Atlanta exposition
has been seen and studied by hundreds of
Birmingham people, and doubtless the
verdict is almost unanimous that it is a
magnificent, an absolute success. From
the moment that you catch a glimpse
of the picturesque gateway, with its Tu
dor-like towers and turrets, you are im
pressed with the magnitude of the under
taking and the enormous realizations
brought about by these indomitable At
lanta people, who have yet to acknowl
edge their first failure In any direction.
It is useless to describe ithe beautiful
grounds of the exposition with Its stately
buildings, its expanse of lakes and all the
minutiae which pertain to such an en
closure. The handsome roadways are
filled with teeming humanity, going from
building to building in quest of knowl
edge. Huge herdlcs, gay in red or yel
low paint and drawn by four or five
horses, carry weary pedestrians around
the grounds for 5 cents, and a few
rolling chairs are seen, holding men and
women whose physical strength has
waned in the effort to "take in" the great
show.
The buildings are always filled with
visitors, some from the tropical regions,
whose climate has left its dusky impress
upon their brown faces; some from cold
er climes, who bear upon their cheeks
the blush that came with the kiss of the
north wind. All nations have sent rep
resentatives, all countries have contrib
uted of their population; but no matter
what tongue is spoken, no matter wheth
er the skin be fair or dark, the verdict is
one and the same, and that Is that the
Atlanta exposition is a tremendous suc
cess. If you speak the soft, musical
vernacular of the dear south you will
pause as you enter the gateway, hold
your breath as the grand realization of
southern enterprise bursts upon your
astonished gaze, and as the bells chime
in the great towers above the din and
bustle, "Nearer, My God. to Thee. Nearer
to Thee.” you will raise your heart in
profound gratitude to that God who has
been so near to our southern land, and
who has brought out of the confusion of
war, pestilence and poverty a time when
the south exhibits to the world the tri
umphs of her genius and her courage.

All women's feet naturally tend to
wards the woman's building, which is
always crowded with men and women
alike. Throughout its corridors, halls
and rooms are beautiful works of art
which sprung from women's brains and
women's fingers, and rare old reminders
of another age and time, which are sur
rounded by the opaleseent mists of tra
dition. Many states have rooms In this
building, which are ornately odorned
with treasures loaned by distinguished
citizens. Then there Is the assembly
hall, with its wealth of priceless por
traits, sent by the women of South Car
olina. and Its rich oriental draperies
from the same source.
There seems to be a ridiculous side to
almost every phase of life, and there cer
tainly is to the women’s congress, of
which you and I read so much In the flu
ent pages of the "Woman's Department”
of the Constitution and Journal. Before
coming over I confess to having been
affected by an envy of the large body of
humanity who daily listened to the elo
quent addresses of notable women from
all parts of the country. But no longer

The loss of a single night's sleep tells
In the drawn expression on the face and
the sluggish powers of the mind. When
this unfortunate privation continues
night after night no one can shut his eyes
to the disastrous outcome.
Debility, neuralgia, headache, dyspep
sia, melancholia and that dread paresis
follow.
Physicians know the peril of sleepless
ness. In every case brought under their
care narcotics are rigidly kept away, be
cause momentary relief leaves matters
worse in the end. A permanent cure
that looks to a rapid nourishment of the
nervous system is found in Paine's celery
compound. Nothing performs the needed
service so surely and so rapidly.
It is the greatest nerve and brain re
storative the world has ever known. The
wonderful formula for Paine's celery
compound is no secret to the medical
profession. It is not a patent medicine.
Its absolute freedom from any deleteri
ous substance Is an assured fact vouched
for by the ablest physicians in the coun
try, and by the eminent Prof. Edward
E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D„ of Dartmouth
college, who first prepared it.
Sufferers from neuralgia, neuralgic
headaches and rheumatism should stop
short their morphine, quinine and such
pain-killing drugs. No cure can be hoped
for from these temporizers. There is one
way of getting rid forever of the causes
of all this suffering; that is by taking
Palbe’s celery compound. In this great
modern remedy the real means to health
is attended to; sleep is made sound and
refreshing, the appetite improves and the
nerves stop complaining, because they
get the nutriment that nature requires.
This is the fundamental, rational way
that Paine’s celery compound takes to be
able to cope successfully with diseases
of the liver, kidneys and stomach, and to
guarantee a complete return of sound
sleep, good digestion and a quiet, well
regulated nervous system.
Paine's celery compound permanently
cures diseases of nervous origin. It makes
the sick well again.
will my soul be harrowed with unrealized
desires, for I, with other friends, was
present at one of these congresses, when
the exercises were enjoyed by at least
one dozen zealous men and women; and,
sad to relate—sad in the light of what
I had read for weeks—I found this was
a large and enthusiastic audience. Some
of the celebrated women who have come
to Atlanta to deliver addresses have been
greeted by empty benches and an utter
absence of enthusiasm save from the
generous pens of newspaper reporters.
Some of our party strolled leisurely into
the assembly hall during the Chautauqua
congress, which was presided over by
Miss Bunnie Love, an earnest worker in
good fields. After the exercises were
concluded she came hopefully towards
the most modest gentleman of our party
and asked, "Are you Professor McGreg
or?” Notwithstanding his surprise, he
insisted that he could not lay claim to
any such personality. Still chimed in
Miss Love, "if you are, I want you to
make us a speech;” whereupon the Ala
bama gentleman (who was not the mem
ber of the party who has been frequently
heard upop the stump) assured Miss Love,
with firmness, but gentleness, that were
he Professor McGregor he would address
the audience with pleasure; but, as he
was not, he must decline the honor of
acting as a substitute. Amid mutual
explanations our party retired.

The Alabama building is the rendez
vous for Alabamians, and a pleasant,
comfortable meeting place it is. The
building is excellent and reflects the
greatest credit upon the comparatively
few public-spirited citizens of our state
through whose zeal and energy it was
built. The exhibits are remarkably fine,
consisting of minerals, ores, agricultural
products and many useful articles man
ufactured in Alabama. Especially wor
thy of mention are the cedar buckets
and churns, which compare favorably
with those from any other section. There
are two comfortable reception rooms,
both heated by large stoves, and a won
derfully attractive little apartment, dec
orated with various kinds of denim
made by the cotton mills of Columbus,
Ga. Colonel West of Birmingham and
Major Culver of Union Springs are in
charge of the Alabama building and ex
tend the kindest hospitality to all vis
itors. At our state building we had the
pleasure of meeting Dr. George M. Mor
row, Mrs. C. P. Perin and Mr. Gairett.
The latter has charge of the wonderful
Corona coal exhibit, which ls» exciting
so much Interest and favorable com
ment. We induced Mrs. Perin to Join
our small party, and together we went
from one splendid building to another,
about which I shall write tomorrow. At
lanta is in a constant whirl of excite
ment. Each day brings new Interests
and enthusiasms, until the remark of an
old-fashioned darky seems to cover the
situation. Upon viewing the splendid
procession of Maryland dignitaries—sol
diers, sailors, bands and drum corps—
on Saturday, Maryland day. he turned
with a delighted grin to a gentleman who
stood near and exclaimed: "Marster,
these Atlanta folks are In it sure enough;
they sure has stirred up things; why,
it's been Christmas every day since dis
here show started.” And so it has.
