m ka an appro ration of Sj0,-
0O0. but Also refused 20 a low cities
and counties to tx themselves for
funds for an exhibit. The whole
matter is thus thrown up N private
enterprise, aud the people of the
state are doing he hest they can
tn repair the damage done by their
legislature.
West Virginia has fund of $40.
900 which WAS appropriate. Il ut the
last eSsion of the legislature. One
half of this amount is to be ex.
pended in the construction of a
handsome State building upon the
far grounds, and the wonderful
natural resources of the State are
assured magnificent representa-
tion.
The Tennessee legislature i. fus-
ed to appropriate any money for
the Worlds FAIR, but authorized
the counties of the State to make
appropriations for tins purpose. A
considerable fund has thus been
raised, aud it is probable that a
sufficient amount wi be provided
10 give to this Stare the represent
ration 10 which il Is entitled by it's
prominence.
North Carolina has no legislative
appropriation to depend upon, but
til re is q Widespread interest in
Worlds Fair matters ia that State,
and the people are making active
efforts to create u sufficient fund
by private subscription 10 defray
the cost Of reproducing the famous
old Tryon Palace at Chicago, aud
t. make Il fepres 'ntative exhibit of
North CarOiina's interests.

prop ,sed to add $50, 900 by private

Efforts are heing IN de to raise 4

for Worlds Fair purposes.
| Maryland will spend $4,000 on
the Worll's Fair, One-halt OF which

session. U,der the direction of the

care for the Interests Of this State.
No fund has as yet been raised,
but there will probably be an ade-
qua'e ,mOunt when the time comes
for its use.
The Southern States are planning
to spent nearly $1,000, 900 upon
the Worlds Fair. With this
amount the interests Of the s iuth
can be well represented, and W.
are exceedingly glad TO note that
interest is growing in The matt I
throughout the S0nth at such a
rate that a much larger amount Of
money will probably be raised th N
is now counted upon. There has
been much ieliy Ia comm 'ncing
work, but now that interest ha-
been generally awakened, there ~
very gratifying display of aclivity
on all sides. This betokens much
good to the South, for at present
there is nothing Of such vital i'm
portance to the South az this great
exposition. We hope that the pl ms
nov under consideration will be
successfully carried out, tn t =
mucn wider interest will be awaken
ell. and that much more moley
will be availab e flI Worlds FAN
purposes Ia the South.
