Does Honor to the State
The Tennessee centennial exposition is
open to the world An electric bpark
from the telegraph key in the White
House at Washington set the wheels in
motion at noon Saturday It was the
proudest hour in the history of Tennessee
since the State came into the Union and
caused its star 10 ho sewed in the upper
right hand corner of the American tlag
After six years of planning and one year
of building all in the face of financial
depression the White City of the South
is ready for the people of the United
States to admire and the crowd that sent
the turnstiles at the exposition gates
whirling for the first time was scarce able
to got inside the exposition park
The White City of the South washed
whiter by the rains looked from the
hills wbere the city of Nashville stands
like a group of school girls in white
dresses sitting in a green amphitheater
ready for some fete and the red brick
houses of the Tennessee capital across
the valley a mile and a half away looked
like an audience waiting for that fete to
begin And no audience that waited for

the opening of any festival was ever more

houses of Nashville in honor of the dedi

From every quaint old Southern man
sion from every public building from ev
ery store and from the windows of the
humblest cottages flags and banners flut
tered in honor of the opening The city
was buried in a rainbow which had vari
colored shoots spreading throughout busi
ness thoroughfare and pike road From
the dismantled and grass grown heights
of Fort Negley to the blue mist that hangs
over the hills beyond the cedars the stars
and stripes cast the red white and blue
in the air and announced to all the tri-

occasion The members of both houses of
the Legislature Gen Ignacio Garcia
postmaster general of Mexico and other
distinguished guests assembled at the
Union depot at 93 oclock and were
taken in special trains to the terminal sta
tion on the exposition grounds Upon en

itors on behalf of the State Major E C

umph of the old volunteer State and the
entire South
Every train tbat arrived in Nashville
Saturday brought spectators and exhibit
ors and along the Tennessee turnpikes
in spite of mud and frequent washouts
came carts and wagons bearing whole
families some of them from away up in
the Cumberland hills It took every pen
ny that many of these families could
scrape together for months to get ready
for the journey but they made it in spite
of almost impassable mountain roads
Some of these families have friends scat
tered about the Nashville environs wbere
they stay while they take in the wonders
of the exposition Many of them brought
their food along with them and will camp
until the food runs out or they have no
present in the womans building to assist
Mrs Kirkman and other officers in receiv
ing their friends Admission to the wom
ans building prior to 3 oclock in the af
ternoon was by invitation cards only Af
ter that time the doors were opened to the
public

drens building commenced at 3 oclock

of Education Gilbreath apd Dr G W F
Price Patriotic songs by 100 children
of the West Nashville high scboo1 were
given The Harris Quartet of Tullahoma

tending from the rialto past the front of
the negro building to the boat landing on

Great Sltow HiatQrY
On 1191 QeQrge Washington
issued the proclamation setting forth the
fact that Tennessee was admitted as a
State to the now Union Tennessee was
the sixteenth State to be so honored
Aside from the thirteen original States
Vermont and Kentucky were die imme
diate predecessors of Tennessee in en
tering the Union
Patriotism flows in Tenuessee in mighty
rivers and so the people of the State de
cided to celebrate its centennial with an
exposition that would fittingly commem
orate the historic event The idea of so
celebrating the States passing century
mark was born in the brain of a news
paper man several years ago and through
tthe efforts of the Nashville papers the
first mass meeting to formulate plans was
called This took place June jj 1894 in
the capital at Nashville and from that
time to the present day the enthusiasm
of the people has been unabated
The financial condition of the State ren

the project an up hill task Davidson
MRS VANLEER KIRKMAN
President Womans Department
County started the ball rolling by sub
scribing 30000 and individual subscrip
tions came gradually in The State Leg
islature made an appropriation of 50
000 People of Nashville instructed the
city officials by a popular vote to issue
100000 in bauds for exposition purposes
Almost every city and town of importance
in the State subscribed
The inauguration exercises took place
on the grounds of the original anniver
sary June 1 last and since that time
a small army of workmen bas been em
ployed day and night in erecting build
ings etc The majority of the States
have heartily co operated and some of
their buildings notably that of New
York are artistic in design The grounds
are but one mile from the city limits and
100 feet above the level of the city The
Government building is on an elevation
and from its roof a survey of the eountry
for miles around can be bad The wom
ans building the childrens building the
commerce and transportation buildings
and the fine arts building are all decid
edly creditable structures and the ex
hibits are fully up to the standard of the
Chicago exposition Every day of Uhe ex
position will be given over to some spe
cial demonstration in connection with
different societies and orders
There possibly has never been so much
real unselfish patriotism sbowu by the
officers of such a large public works Ev
eryone but ft director general and chiefs
of departments is working without sal
ary and they have aH purchased season
tickets fpr themselves and families The
director general Eugene C Lewis is tho
genius of the exposition He is a silent
little man with a long head and can
make a dollar go farther than almost any
one He has every detail of the grcxjfc
work at his finger tips The comnvis on

ablest men in the State Jle was post
master of Nashville under garrison and
was one of the beat the city bas ever had
To him is largely due the interest Legisla
tures of other States and otier officials
have manifested in the centennial Her
man Justi i5 the chief of the bureau of
promotion and publicity and is a capable
man He has no need of the salary ac
