ALABAMA MOT UK HKPItKgKNTICO AT ATLANTA. The' State of Alabama should make an exhibit at toe Cotton (States Expo, sltion. Although the Legislature made no appropriation for this purpose, there is no reason why a. creditable exhibit should not be made. A fund can be raised large enough to make a display that will be a splendid advertisement for the Slate, If every white voter in the State would eon-tribute a dollar an enormons fund would be raised.

It Is not necessary hat a few men should stand the entire expense of making a display, as a small contribution from all of our patriotic citlxens would provide ample money. Ttte Enquirer desires to participate Intlie movement for a popular subscription in aid of a fund for an Alabama exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition it has been recommended that the editors of the State. open subscriptions in the columns of their Respective journals, fixing $1 as the limit from any onelndivlduai, and that the commercial Association of Alabama, composed of representatives from' ail the iiumerclai bodies in the State, designate a treasurer for the fund and otlicrwlse supervise the display.

Asa Rountree, Secretary of the Alabama Press Association, a somewhat lengthy address to the Association in regard to an Alabama exhibit at the. Cotton States Exposition to be held in Atlanta, Ga next September. As is well known to the people of Alabama the Legislature just adjourned failed to make an appropriation for the purpose; hence it depends upon individual and communities, who wish the State represented to take the matter in hand; and for this reason the Secre-retary suggests that the Alabama Press Association undertake the enterprise. So far as the Gazette is concerned, we stand ready to further any move that promises advancement to the State, or any part thereof. It is true, we think it would have been better for the Legislature to have made -an appropriation, but as they thought best not to do so, we have no complaint to make.

We hope Mr. Rountree, who is a man of many expedients, will markout the and if we think it practicable, we, as we have already said, stand ready to put our shoulder to the wheel.

Mr J. A. Rountree, one of the foremost edit ors in Alabama, and secretary of the State Press Association lias sent out a circular to the editors of the state in which he suggests that Alabama edit ors get up a state exhibit for the Atlan at exposition. With the Alabama news papers and all of the commercial clubs in the state working hard for the Alabama exhibit it is more than 'probable 'that it will be a most creditable one, The mineral district is especially interested in the matter of the exhibit and Birmingham 'and Anniston anil all of their adjacent mines, urnaces and factories will be represented- at the exposition in fine ttyle. J.

Asa Rountree, secretary of the Alabama Press Association, is out in a circular to bis brethren of the press urging that they take the matter in hand aud see that Alabama is proper ly represented Bt the Cotton States ex position at -Atlanta next fall. Mr. Rountree thinks that the press in se cure a creditable exhibit by united and harmonious action. Tbe Journal is inclined to encour age this appeal direct to the people for an exhibit at Atlanta. It condemned an appeal to the Legislature to make such an appropriation out of a depleted state 'It did not believe it would be right to make such ait appropriation, and doubted whether there was any provision in the constitution authorizing such an expenditure of the tax payers', money.

This appeal through the press directly to the pride of the people is perfectly legitimate and meets with the Journal's hearty approval.

On last Sunday night, March at 11 o'clock Capt.T. J. Simpson passed away into the land of the sweet beyond, after long' suffering and being confined to his bud for the past three months with paralysis. His name is a famiHiar one to the majority of the older citizens of Morgan county, He belonged to a large and well-known family not only well-known but favorably known. Who of the citizens of our town, or visitors to It, will ever forget the familliar face, the.

genial disposition as genial as the sunshine, the sanguine andx cheerful spirit always and everywhere hianifested by him. He always had a kind word, a cheerful smile and an innocent jest with hiin to render every one about hiin happy. We do not remember to have ever seen him, when associating with bis friends when he appeared to be gloomy or sad. Sadness and sorrow visited his homo and for a time shut out the light and sunshine, but lie kept his sorrows hid from the world, only communicating them to his most familiar friend-). In the niid-tt of the most perplexing scenes and diflculties of life he showed to the world only the cheerful and hopeful side of life.

From his child hood until his death his disposition was to make all about him feel pleasant. No one in his company could suffer with ennui or despair. He was born near Danville, in this county January 3rd, 1828, and was married Miss S. E. Hewlett in tlie month of August, 1807.

He was then iu his 89th year. -He had religious iinorcssion Vvery early in life. He embraced religion for sometime before he united, with the church. Uif father's family was nearly all, if not all, of members of the Baptist church, but he saw proper from his own Convictions to join the M. E.

He was true to his marital vows and wai a kind, affectionate husband, an indulgent father, a good neighbor, a genial companion, a good and faithful citizen, a Ann adherent of his church but catholic in his spirit. Two of his chllitr have gone on before him; five still live to mourn their loss. He was ill over two months, in which time he uncomplainingly aud patiently suffered much. For several days he seemed to realize the fact that his end had come, and to his daughter he expressed tbe idea that he would soon be done suffering, and exchange this world for a better Capt. Simpson was a brave Confed- eaate soldier, and served during the entire war.

He was a member of Co 6th Alabama Cavalry, and in the Summer of 1803, at Cherokee, Alaba ma, he was promoted to the- captaincy of his company. He was greatly beloved by bis men. He was one of the brightest Masons in this section of the state, and has held a number of official positions in the lodge. He was the first mayor of Ilartselle, and lias also served for a number'' of year as alderman. He was Hart8clle's second postmas ter, holding that position for about twelve years.

i He has served as justice of the peacp for over eighteen year. He was, always popular with the citizens sif Hartsefle, who loved to honor him. 1 Tuesday morning, funeral services were heltt In the Methodist church Jn the presence of one or tn largest congregations, that bas ever assembled in that All the business houses in town closed iu respect to his memory. The funeral services wereonducted by Rev. T.

A vigorous effort is being made in South Carolina to raise the funds nec essary for a successful exhibit of re sources at the Cotton States Expos! lion at Atlanta next Fall.

It seems to the enterprising people of that old state that the time has come, and the great opportunity lias presented itself for an exhibit of its natural wealth that should not be allowed to pass. How great tbe advantage this kind of movement would be in the development of this great state of Alabama, can scarcely be estimated. The Alabama Legislature failed, to make any appropriation for an exhibit, and It now devolves upon the enter prising citizen's of the state to push the matter to a successful issue, and see to it that Alabama appears all right at the Exposition. Atlanta is the gateway through which passes most of the enterprising capitalists who come to the South from the great money and industrial centers of the North, and to give them only I suggestion of the vast natural resour ces that lie within the borders of our state, might easily be the means of in ducing many pilgrims with open check books to journey among us, and give the assistance most needed in develop ing more rapidly the natural growth of this state.

A most pleasant, reminder of our Florida experience is a copy of the Tattler, from St. Augustine, Florida. Anna 21. Marcottc, its gifted editor, well sustains her declaration of prin- clples in conducting her paper, viz "Whate'er men do, or say, or think, or dream, motley paper seizes for its theme." It is truly astonishing how much of the gay" world is now in Florida, and how completely the doings of that world are recorded in the Tattler, One single paragraph contains the names of over 200 visitors to Florida, who had gone there from nearly every state in the Union, and from many foreign countries K-V The Louisville Nashville is always at the front in undertaking for the advancement of 'Alabama's interests, and this great system is now making strenuous efforts to securo a high class of immigrants for this state.
