THE EXPOSITION.
LARGE BUILDINGS TO BE ARRANG.
ED FOR THE DISPLAYS.

Rare Things to be Loaned for the
Show.-Authors, Artists and Arti-
sans to Show Their Productions
Some of the General Features.
On Monday, Jan. 18th, an office
will be opened in the Y. NJ. G. A.
rooms, where force of typewriters
will be engaged in corresponding
with parties all over this country
and Europe regarding exhibits and
contributions. 1t might seem that
this was somewhat IN advance of the
time, inasmuch as the day is fixed
for the opening May 1st, but Mr..
and Mrs Kellogg say this exposition
is to be on an extensive scale and the
time is none too long in which to
arrange for all in the way of art and
science curios and relics from all
parts of the world that will be
shown. Foreign and American ar
lists will be solicited to exhibit, and
not only exhibit their beautiful ere =
ations, but also assist the purpose
fund by donating some little token
of their work as an expression of
their approval Of this undertaking.
Prominent persons in Europe will
be importLDed to give something
from their possessions both unique
and as valuable as may be, authors
to contribute of their work, art pub
fishers of their pictures, manufac-
turers of their products, autographs
and personal letters will be secured
from the crowned heads of all lands,
together with those Of the President
of the United States, his cabinet,
the Senate and Congress-all of
which will be for sale.
Large buildings will be arranged
for the exposition and display Of the
great variety of articles, which will
be on exhibition
Home merchants will be assigned
desirable space in which they may
display all goods to the best possible
advantage and be granted privileges
to advertise their business to then
entire satisfaction.
"Such are few of the features,
say the promoters, (Which will be
brought to full completion and real
ization in our Woman'S Exposition
of the Carolinas, managed by the
women of Mecklenburg. That then
efforts may be fruitful to the fullest
extent let us all hope; yes, let us dc
more than hope, let us work to tha
end in every way and manner posi-
ble."
Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg have man
aged many expositions with com
plete success in attractive exhibits
and financial results; and we fee
assured, with a liberal assistance
from the people of Charlotte ant
citizens of the Carolinas, this enter
prise may be a greater success thai
any similar exposition ever held IL
either State. Full reports of tn,
progress Of the work will be givel
in The News from time to time.

At the ballot box social rights
were accorded the colored brother as
we'll as the civil rights given by
law, and he was patted on the back,
and catered to in way that made
him smile from ear to ear.
But while "rverything goes" at
the ballot box it seems that some of
the white Republicans want to draw
the color line at the pie counter.

agent, is a candidate for the post

job
J. NJ. Goode (colored) is under
stood to be candidate for Director
of the Mint.
AS the negroes furnish more than
nine tenths of the votes in the Re
publican party in this State, they
have taken it into their heads that
they have a right to some of the
spoiIs of office.
The white Republicans take the
position that while the negro is good
enough as voter, he is altogether
out of place as an office holder.

ROBERT E. LEES BIRTHDAY.
A Holiday Observed Only by Banks
and the POStOffiCe.

and the POstoffiCe.
Tuesday was the anniversary of
the birth of Robert E. Lee, and is a
legal holiday in this State.
The Charleston News and Courier
says. GA year ago the South Caro-
lima Legislature passed a bill max
ing January 19, the birthday of
Robert E. Lee, a legal holiday. This
is the first time in the history Of the
State that any mans memory has
been held in such high honor. This
act goes further toward teaching for
all time the truth about the South,
her origin and civilization, her lost
cause in the past and her high hopes
for the future than anything else
her Legislature could have done
Closed schools and closed banks
speak to all ages and classes, and
the meaning of it all must tell of
the good and great Southerner
whom the State holds up as an in
spiration to her children. Devotion
to duty, allegiance to State, con-
spicuous gallantry in war, perfect
integrity in defeat, supreme trust
in God, all of this is taught by
study of the character of Lee"
The Daughters of the Copfeder-
acy all over the South hold their
annual meetings today. In many
places the day is observed, with ap-
propriate ceremonies, under their
auspices.
Though our State Legislature was
one of the first to pass law max
ing the day legal holiday, the an
niversary has never been properly
observed in the State.
The banks and post-office were
the only institutions that observed
the day in Charlotte, and the ma
jority of business men when they
found the bank doors closed had to
think while before they could re
member what holiday it was.

PLAGUE SPREADING.
FL ENG INHABITANTS OF BOMBAY
SCATTER THE DISEASE.

rlore Than Two-Thirds of the Inhabi-
tants of the City Have Fled.
pean Governments Quarantining
Against the Plague.
By Telegraph to The News.
BOMBAY, India, Jan. 18.-The
Bubonic plague is increasing daily
in this city.
It is now estimated that nearly, if
not two thirds of the inhabitants of
the city have fled, and in many in
stances carried the disease with
them.
HOW THE DISEASE SPREADS.
A cablegram from london says:
"The French, Austrian and 1tal-
ian governments have already taken
stringent measures against the i'm
portation of the plague, but it can
hardly be possible to escape a series
of alarms from this cause during the
next few weeks. The ravages of
the famine in the interior of India
/ are still far more deadly than the
more horrible plague at Bombay.
The victims Of the plague are per-
ishing by hundreds daily, but the
victims of hunger succumb by thous-
ands daily. 1t would be easy to har-
row the hearts of every one possessing
human sympathy by accounts of the
typical sights experienced in the
vast famine district, but surely the
appetite ior horror in all its forms
has been satiated throughout
Christendom during the past few
months.
Thus the poison is diffused and
cannot be eradicated except by fire.
This explains the efficacy of the old
method of cleansing by confagration,
and at the same time the fHtility of
isolating the sick as in other infec-
tious diseases. The only thing to
be done is to remove the healthy. 1t
is stated in the Daily Mail dispatches,
which are the only ones worth read
ing in the London papers, that large
business houses in Bombay which are
infested by rats have been rendered
untenable by the ravages of the
plague among those vermin. They
/ die by hundreds in the walls and the
human occupants have been com
PEELED to vacate the buildings. tits
not observed that any larger animals
are subjected to the infection.
cit is sufficient to say that the
gaunt, starving millions of India
are starving at a more rapid rate
than any army ever suffered before
the most deadly engines of destruc-
ton devised by man. The relief
movement is now apparently in full
opperation. The public conscience
and sympathy in this country have
both been fully aroused. The re-
sponse to the appeal is liberal but
utterly impossible. The proportion
of givers to the sufferers is scarcely
more than one in a thousand 1t
will require the generosity of the
whole world to oppose real check
to the ravages of hunger in India"

HAVANA, Jan. 20.-The steamer
''Elfy," of Sandusky, Ohio, supposed
to be engaged in carrying arms and
ammunition to the Cuban army, has
sunk ON the Colorado reef. The
crew were saved. They have applied
to Consul General Lee at Havana, to
be returned to the United States.
The boat cleared from Bocar Del
Caro-, Colombia, ostensibly for New
Orleans, and had good weather until
near the reef. The vessel is total
wreck. The vessel is small and
swift,of class peculiarly adapted to
filibustering. She carried a large
crew. She was built in Sandusky

ton of the Senate this week. The
army bill has been reported and the
military academy and legislative
bills will be reported from the COM
mittee tomorrow.
Senator Morgan will probably ad-
dress the Senate tomorrow on his

There is no Indication of any in
tention to call up the Cameron Gu
ban resolution. The utterances OF
Mr.. Sherman on this subject since
the formal announcement of his ac-
ceptance of the State department
portfolio are looked upon by his
associates as a request from the in
coming administration that nothi ing
should be done pending its accession
to power. Several influential Sena-
tors who were previously charged
with being 'tjingoes" have since
their visit to Canton become very
conservative, and no one of the Re

urging action of any kind with re-
spect to the war in Cuba.
