Charges at the Worlds Fair.

In regard TO the expense of living
at Chicago during the Words Fair,
III that city, a local newspaper says ::
q As 10 charges outside the grounds,
let it be understood that the best
hotels have plainly said that they
would not charge more than their
usual rates, and the hotels of lesser
magnitude will be compelled to do
likewise. Chicago is full of enterpris-
ing people, and really enterprisng
people know that extortion ruins en-
tcrprlsc. There will be millions of
visitors to Chicago during the exposi-
ton season, and for that reason there
Will be fierce competition for their
patronage. There are now hundreds
of restaurants IN that city at which
4 satisfying meal can be had for from
IS To- IS cents, and the number Of
such places will be greatly increased
during the year. The scramble for
patronage of visitors of moderate
means will be furious. 1t is quite
possible that the prices Of the restaur-
ants that cater fol- people OF small in
come, will be reduced by reason of
excessive competition, and it IS GER
tain that they will not be increased.
- In short, it will be very easy for
4 rich visitor to spend SIS or $50 per
day, and it Will be quite rs easy for
an economist to find 4 room at the
rate OF $3.50 per week, and to feed
himself Tor IS cents per day. The
great exposition IS Tor the delectation
of the people of the world, but espe-
clally for those of the United States;
therefore attendance upon it will be
made to be within the reach of all
The rich can enjoy all the luxuries
that money can buy; the person of
slender means can live at slight cost
All are invited. Everyone will be
welcome. Nobody shall be imposed
upon. This IS Chicago's pledge to
the nation and TO the whole world"

"MUCH of the reputation of North
Carolina" says the Winston Sentinel,
"will be in the charge of P. NJ. Wilson
and T. h. Bruner, who will represent
the State at the Worlds Fair" And
the Observer tells no news when it
adds that the States reputation could
not be in the hands of two more loyal
sons. The selection of these gentle
men to collect and have charge of the
States exhibit at the Columbian
Exposition was akin to an inspiration.
