that The time is not very far distant

metals and other minerals, Mexico Is
favored more than almost any portion
of the globe. She has endless and in
eXhaustible mines of nearly every me-
tall of marble onyx and other valua-
bile stones. which in themselves would
insure wealth to millions. Thousands
OF tons of the most valuable metals lie
hidden beneath her soil.
Ii is now time that the United St.
showed its inclination to give a help

tending 10 them our valuable and i'm

Development Of minerals.
After noticing the forward movement
of the Mexican nation. il can be read
ily understood that the needs of the
people are increasing proportionately
and that a market of enormous value
is being opened TO the world.
A few nations have already taken adj
vantage Of this fact, and are doing all
i'm their power to secure the trade ben
oaJs which are to come TO those who
supply the demand. The United States
strange as it may seem, has been slow
TO take advantage OF this condition of
affairs and TO secure the trade which
is naturally and rightfully ours.
Every natural reason exists for a
reciprocal trade relations between the
United States and Mexico. The Board
of Directors Of the Mexican Interna-
tioral Exposition, approaching the
above facts, desire TO and will do
everything in their power to bring
about closer relation between the

He gave me one long, searching look,
and then answered in an unsteady
voice: Il should never have thought

An old sea captain from America was

AT THE SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Ten of the Sophomores Declaim for Prizes.

 Greensboro, June 16.-(Special)-Th prize Reclamation of the sophomore class took place in the chapel of the southern university yesterday morning. Ten young men took part in these exer- clses, all of whom acquitted themselves well. The exercises were enlivened by music from the college band, and con- s1dering the fact that the members of the band have been practicing but a few weeks, the music rendered was remarka- ply good. In few months this band will compare favorably with the best in the land. The first prize is a gold medal and the second book, which will be awarded on next Wednesday by a com mlttee appointed for that purpose.
 The following were the speakers on the occasion and their subjects, viz: "The rate or Genius" John L. Sims, Birming- nam; The Ultimate Triumph of Liber- ty, Francis Seay of Greensboro; "The Arch Fiend," K. A. Mayer of Lower Peach Tree; America for Americans" '. Hamilton of Birmingham; .'The Re- sponsibility and Destiny of the Individ- ual," H. M. Dobbs of Tuskaioosa: Tribute to Grady" M. T. Ormond of Mississippi; "Emmett's Defense" ], T.

NationaII Educational Association, Buffalo, N.
 Y., July ' to II,

The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that a special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting.
 After consultation with several parties who are in a position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such a way as to select a delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish ing to attend from Alabama. On account of it's numerous connections at Cincin- nati for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake it is without peer for those wishing to avail themselves of a delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of the visitors from Alabama is the fact of it's cutting the state in half and being To- cated so as to be the most convenient of any line for the greatest number of peo- pie.
 More detailed information or any ques- tions as to rates and route beyond Gin cinnati and stop over privileges at prin- cipal cities will be cheerfully answered by R. F. BEASLEY,
 Passenger Agent, Birmingham Ala.
