And Who Pushed the Work to a Successful

ing and Location,


The Age-Herald presents its readers
today with first-class illustration of
the Alabama building at the Cotton
States and International exposition 1t
is the design accepted by the board of
managers at heir recent session held in
Montgomery, prepared by Brmingham's
well-known architects. Charles Wheelock
e Son.
1t will be one of the most attractive
buildings on the grounds aside from the
three or four principal ones, and will be
magnificent advertisement for Ala
bama at that exposition
Description of the Building.
The building proper will be octagonal
in shape. 80 feet in diameter, with two
wings. one at each end, and each S2xS2
feet in length and width. This gives a
frontage of IA feet, with depth from
the main entrance 100 feet.
The inside height of the dome is 80 feet
and the outside height Go feet.
The main entrance which fronts the
grounds, is IL feet in width back to main
hall, "a feet. Along this corridor on the
right are the exposition offices, with
waiting room and toilets, while on the
lett are ladies' parlor and dressing
room over the main entrance will be
private offices for the board of managers
and residents in charge of the exhibits,
There will be gallery 20 feet in width
around the main building inside, with en-
frances from the right and left of the
main entrance. This gallery contains an
area OF $500 square feet for exhibition
space, while the main hall below. in
Guiding wings will have an area of

Wbo,.a located

The site selected is within 300 feet of
The government building and practically
overlooks the entire ground. The manu-
facturers building is almost in front of
It, but considerably lower in elevation,
the Alabama building being on the
highest point in the entire grounds.
President Collier and Chief of Construc-
ton Grant Wilkins both say that the
site is an admirable one, and will show
off the building to spledid advantage.
Secretary Thompson returned from At
lanta last night and informed the Age
Herald representative, who saw him at
the depot, that he saw several contrac-
tors at Atlanta who desired to bid on
the building, and they will do so, as the
contract will not be let until the LIST of
July, giving sixty days to erect it by
September l.
Board of Managers
The Alabama Commercial association
was called together at the request of the
Commercial club of Birmingham to ar
range for an Alabama exhibit, and when
that body met in Birmingham on April
it was composed of seventy-five dele
gates from commercial bodies through
out the state and prominent newspaper
men, who had been invited to participate
in that meeting. 1t was a most enthus-
iastic and harmonious meeting I1lecting
the following as a board of managers:
F. Y. Anderson, Birmingham A. c.
Danner, Mobile; T. w. Pratt, Hunts
vile, hector u Lane, AInenS, ana M. Is.
Houghton, Montgomery who subsequent
ly resigned and Mr.. II. c. Davidson
selected to fill the vacancy. The board
permanently organized on April IS at
the residence of Maj. F. Y. Anderson in
this city, that gentleman being unani-
mously elected president of the board
and N. It. Thompson secretary.
The work was apportioned as follows:
F. Y. Anderson, minerals; T. w. Pratt,
textiles and manufactures: A. c. banner,
lumber and forestry; II. c. Davidson,
agriculture, with Hon. Hector d. Lane,
representing the state agricultural de-
partment. The work of the board was
much delayed for want of prompt action
by the railroads. Without the co-opera-
ton of them the board did not feel that
they could proceed with any assurance
of success and 1t looked at one time as
if the enterprise would have to be ADAM
doned, as there was a refusal by the
commissioner of the Southern Railway
and Steamship association to grant the
boards request. and not till the matter
was taken over his head to the several
roads direct, and the value of an Ala
bama exhibit in an Alabama building set
forth to them, did the board succeed in
obtaining what they needed to get the
matter in shape.
Applications for Space.
Now that the work has assumed this
phase of successful issue, the applicants
for space are from all parts of the state,
and there is no doubling the fact that
the board will have choice from the best
in the state for the Alabama exhibit. but
there is yet much to be done to enable
the board to get through as 1t should.
Every philosophical citizen in the state
should contribute something to the fund
and thus help make this what it has
been so well christened by Secretary
Thompson, an enterprise "for Alabama
and her people,"

sOne of the counts in the indictment is
placing a check for $1,000 payable to the
