CHICAGO, Oct 26-People haven't
any idea how things are going to look
at the Worlds Fair grounds until they
see for themselves. No matter how
many pictures one may study he will be
very much surprised when he goes to the
fair next summer and sees what has real
ly been done. There is nothing mean
about Chicago's section of the globe
when it comes to matters like this.
This weeks happenings at the big en-
closure at Jackson Park have opened the
eyes of a good many people. American
and otherwise, both as TO the size of the
coming show and the trouble it is to
take care CT ones self in crowd that so
completely runs over Chicago aa this one
does. Accommodations have been more
than at a premium. The man counted
himself lucky who was able to get hold of
twelve square feet Of cot and enough
hall space to hold it while he slept at
anywhere from one dollar to threa dol
lars night, Such thing as having
room was not TO be thought OF unless
one arrived early in the week or had Sc
cured it in advance by paying a high
price long before he was ready to use it.
The dedication took three days aud
was wonderful affair. People from all
over the world came to see it. Every
one connected with the nations affairs at
Washington seemed 70 take an especial
| pride in dropping work and coming over
| to the eXcitable west to take in the pro-
ceedings Officials from the Vice Presi
dent down with every intermediate rank
imaginable were on hand.
More than the usual amount of homage
was paid to Gov. Holt here, which is
due to the fact that in addition to his
being the representative of one of the
original thirteen States, everybody was
interested in him because of the fellow
feeling engendered by the famous re-
mark of one Of his distinguished prede-
cessors to the Governor of South Carolina
Allusion to this philosophical bit of
official comment has been frequent all the
week whenever Gov Holt appeared or
was mentioned The Governors big,
handsome adjutant, Gen. Glenn. has
been constantly a. his chiefs side when
in public and has been the object Of seas
of admiration from the ladies'
The Governors party came up in the

though one Of the last in the list of State
to give indications Of active work on be
building, North Carolina will m ansge t
show up fairly well in the race for a
early completion Just now pile {
some other States lumber and half
dozen empty freight cars are all the sigr
: of improvement that one can see Oh til
: space allotted TO Us, and when other 90!
ernors were doing the dedicatory mostly
! Governor Holt and his staff were seer
u Chicago. The reason is that the Mort
t Carolina commissioners concluded
y construct the building at home and Shi
Il it here all st once. The work is bein
: done now at th9 North Carolina car shol
Ii at Raleigh, where the material is fitto
/, together so that nothing remains 70
done on its arrival here but to put tt

ie At first it was the idea to do nothil
le in the dedicatory line this trip as the
e is nothing to dedicate, but the State
IN representatives became so imbued wi
g the spirit of things when they learn
TO how other commonwealths were doin
? and it was decided to 90 ahead anyw
