2 A SOUTHERN TRIP. Atlanta, Ba.. Taken in the Oir- ouit, What a Close Observer Saw There, . | Correspondent of the Dee ATLANTA, GA., August 7, 1881 Beyond all doubts Atlanta is the | fmost enterprising city to be found in 1 the south. Tt has the appearance of being more like a western than af southern city. Theinhabifants, num- bering over 40,000, are a live, wide- | awake, thrifty set, and by hard work, many of them are getting rich. Num have been built in bers of factor the city limits in the past few years, among them two cotton factories, and other manufacturing interosts are being doveloped every fow days. At- lanta is 2 complete railroad centre, five trunk lines having this as their terminal point. The legislature, now in session, will, before it ad- journs, grant charters for two dozen railroad, many of which will be operated in this section. The soil, especiully of North Georgia, is quite rich, and fine crops are being made. Labor is to be had on easy terms, and fully two score of bales of the new cotton crop of this year has already come in. g “The city people are devoting their attention to manufacturing and com- merco, the country peaple are engaged in raising ali kinds of crops. This year the cotton crop of Geor- gia will be very fine and plenty of corn and hay will be made to last the farmers through the wintor, which season of the year is usullay short in this section. The northern part of the state is filled with allsorts of min- erals and precious stones. In several of the counties quantities of gold,iron and lead are to be found, and a groat deal of northern and western capital is now invested in the gold mines of North Georgia. The state horticultural society has been in session here for two days, and during that time made a very hand- some display of fruits, especially of peaches and grapes. The grape crop this year is so extensive that large quantities of wine will be made. A citizen of Atlanta, residing near the “suburbs, told mg that he expected to make threo hundred gallons of wine this year from his vinoyard. I ven: ture to say that the wine made here is equal to some of the best now manu- factured in France, and some day will be an important article of manu- facture. There are several orchards in Georgin containing between five hundred and one thousand acres of fruit trees. The International Cotton Exposi- tion is booming right along like a thin, of life, and showing u good deal of vitality for its age. he grounds comprising about fifl.{ acres, well lo- cated, are perfectly alive with work- men and ofticiuls in the employ of tho enterprise. The roof of the main ex- osition is now going on, and other Euildings on the grounds are rapidly nearing completion. The push and vim of Director General Kimball is felt on all sides, and no idle hands are to be found about him. From all sections most encouraging reports come, The Europeans papers are de- voting donsiderablo space to the In- ternational Cotton Exposition, and to- dnly I saw an article of one and a-half columns in The Rio News, published at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil., about the coming event. The article was strong, well written and to the point, urging the people to attend the exposition with their exhibits. The Canadian papers are especially generous with their columns and have written somne very strong articles in favor of Canada being well and fully repro- sented at the exposition. The two European commissioners write the director geveral that they are meoting with the most encouraging attention in Europe, and that large and exten- sive exhibits will come from across the waters. Besides the varied dis. play of machinery for the manufac- ture of cotton and all kinds of textile fabrics, there will be exhibited at the exposition, individually and by states, immense and complete exhibits of all the minerals and other deposits found in the earth, as well as displays of vegetables, fruits and woods. ' In the crowds of visitors to the ex- positions will be many men of means, and represontatives of material inter- luu. These partics will come hore or f the purpose of 1spect- ing the exhibits, finding out what they uced, aad then knowing exactly where to satisfy their wants can do 50 with ease and con- venience, The opportunity to make displays of goods, either in their crude or manufactured state, will be one that will not come again in mauy years if ever, With cheap transpor- tation for them: and free trans- portation for their goods after the the uxlmntiun closes what more can be asked. Ample accommodations will be made for all who will attend with remarkable prices and comfor- tablo provision for such as are unable to pay largo board bills, ilroad charges will be at the rate of two cents a e, each way during the continuance of the fair.

Correspondence of The Bee, Sr. HeLens, Oregon, July 31.-=Per haps a fow lines from the paradise (7) commonly known as Oregon, would be interesting to some of your readers. There are many people in western Kansas and Nebraska especially that imagine Oregon and Washington territory to be almost an ear hly para- dise—where a poor man can grow rich without any exertion to speak of, whero every thing needed for this world's comfort grows spontaneous. Isold out a good home in Pawnee county, Kansas, last winter and came here especially to better my condition, but have made a mistake, The cheap lands of western Oregon and Wash- ington territory are heavily timbered and mostly rough. The land with- in the of a poor man will cost him 8160 per acre to clear, in work, and then there will be plenty of stumps loft. One can make more of ashow in one season on the prairie than in a lifetime in the timber. It wouldn’t suit me to work twenty years to get twenty acres under cultivation They raise good crops here after the lnm{i- under cultivation. Fruits of nearly all kinds yield well. The greatest objection of all to this coun- try is the amount of rainy, damp weather they have. The winter sea- son you might call one drizzling rain. Cold weather and snow is far more agreeable. Ihave always heard that it never rained during hayingand har- vest season. This is a mistake for to- day makes the fifth rainy day we have had in succession, and no signs of letting up. During the month of June I do not think we saw the sun halt a dozen times for the cloudy, misty, rainy weather. The climate is 8o damp moss grows on the roofs of houses, and they say that children born here arenearly all ‘‘web- footed” liken-unto the duck family. I have been in much healthier places than western Oregon. You see fami- lies here living in the woods where the sun shines on them perhaps once a month look as blue as a brindle cow's butter milk, they don’t have the ruddy, healthy look that they have on the broad prairies of Kansas and Nebras- ka. Kever and agueis common on river bottoms, and rheumatism nearly every one has it more or less. Eastern Oregon and Washington is a cauntry, but little of it fit for farming purposes on account of being o rough, dry, bleak, and remote from markets. It used to be a good stock country, but has been over stocked and fed out, the past winter being an unusually hard one and feed short stockmen met with heavy losses. One firm had 7,000 sheep last fall, this spriug there were twenty left. Another firm with 12,000 cattle lost 98 per cent, of them, I had rather risk stock raising in Kansas or Nebraska. Ihave been nearly all over Oregon and Washington territory, and I am satisfied that Kansas and Nebraska offers superior advantages over the northwest coast to settlers. There are a great many people here that would like to get back to ‘‘the states” if they had means to do so, I go back to Kansas or Nebraska next spring a wiser man but 1,000 poorer. If any of my Kansas and Nebraska frionds are tired of living in “‘dugouts” and sod houses and are bound to try Oregon, I will give them all the information concerning it I can. However my advice is to stay where you are, or you may regret it. C. P.

The elevation is 600 feet higher than Ashville, nearest railroad and telegraph the point and while the papers tell us of the ex- treme heat all over the country. it is hard to realize the fact here for at no time sinoe entering these mountains have I suffered the least from warm weather, the mercury ranges, at noon from 70 to 80, and at night the air is if anything too eool. The springs are but little known even in this state as The hotel being but recently opened, and communica- tion being so difficult with the outside world, but by all odds it is the most pleasant, and most picturesque place a summer resort. that I have yet seen in the state, The hotel is situated abont a mile from the vil- lage of Waynesville, a quiet old place, and for all the world like hun- dreds of New Eugland villages away from railroads and travelled routes. The valley is narrow at the point, but what there is of it is very rich. Corn and wheat are the chiof productions of all the mountain section, though the roal wealth lies in its forests, as yet, scarcely touched. I have never seen anything equal to the forestry of this state both in its variety and the size and value of its woods. Situated at the juncture of a temperate and tropi- cal climate, North Carolina grows more varieties of trees than any state in the Union. Between the cypress trees in eastern North Carolina and the fir and maple in the western,—the two most oppusite extremes of tree growth—there is nearly every species to be found in the country. sixty per cent. of the state is still covered with forests, a good portion being of second growth. Some of the best ship timber in the world comes from this state, and the tar produced from the long-leafed pine has furnished the people of central North Carolina the convenient title of ‘‘tar heelers.” The agitation over the liquor ques- tion is intense. Considerable money has been furnished the ‘‘Anti-pro- hibs" by northern dealers, and barbe- cues are being given all over the state. The election comes off the 4th, and you will know the result before this letter reaches. If the antis are vic- torious, as scems likely, the prohi tion movement will receive a decided check through the seuth. But if suc- cessful, other states are waiting to fall in line. Said a local democratic lea- der to me, “That is ono thing I like about the repnblican party morth, it takes the lead in matters of reform, and is down on free whisky. Here it is the reverse, and the bummers and whisky men and the least intelligent of the people, are republicans.” = As far a¢ I have noticed the question is really ‘“‘whisky or no whisky,” for that scoms to be the standard” drink, no malt liquors being manufactured in the state, and but little being used. The evils of drinking are thus more marked, and the issue pre- sented somewhat different from that raised by the prohibition party in Ne- braska. I have met several North Carolina Congressmen and one Sena- tor in the mountains, all here for the purposo of dodging the question, One thing is very marked all through Virginia and North Carolina, and I suppose the whole South, and that in the absence of public schools and in- deed of school building, There are more or less educational insitutions, sominaries for advanced scholars and for those who pay, but no common school system. The State raises a tax which supports a certain class of schools for u few weeks in each year, but there is practically no means of education except through private en- torprise, 1 haven't seen a school house in this State yot, and the con- trast can but be noticed as in the North and West, the school house is generally the most prominent land- mark, The negroes are not allowed to attend schools with the whites, but whatover money is appropriated by the state is divided between the two races. It is to be said, however, that the last legislature inaugurated a re- form in educational matters, the de- tails of which I have been unable to learn, as it has not yet gone into effect. 2Some of the southern states are doing remarkably well by way of edu- cational advancement, Tennesseeand Georgia taking the lead In the large cities the projudice against educating “‘the nigger” is rapidly disappearing, and especially in Atlanta and Nash- ville there has been a wonderful change of public sentiment. A few years since there was little or no en- csuragement for northern teachers sent there as teachers in colored schools, and no belief that the negro could be educated. To-day business men speak with pride of thesuccess of these schools and of their work, the work is too much should not be ex pected of these southern states in fur- thering the education of the blacks, especially when so little comparatively is done towards educating the white population. Perhaps Judge Tourgee's method will have yet to be tried, “‘That the government owes it as a duty to the blacks to educate them as a nation.| . — Bucklin's Arniea Salve, The best salve inthe world for euts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt fover sores, tetter, chapped hands, chillblains, corns and all kinds of skin eruptions.
