the sufferers have our sincere sym

ever, that there should appear
some signs of embarrassment, the
natural outcome of selling price:

that a margin OF profit to the

entitled to no more, and the rea-

no more.
These conditions and theil
present trend should be remedied.
The responsibility rests upon those
who have failed to do what they

bring living wages to the miner

Exposition Notes.

"Vanity Fair" was all agog on
the first day. Everything that was
ready was we'll patronized.
The crowds were contested in
the smaller and more attractive
buildings, because in the main
buildings the exhibits were yet in
complete, and one had to elbo his
way through the crush in places.
In two weeks time the Tennes-
see Centennial will be great show
and practically complete.
There is no more attractive ex-
hibit on the grounds than that sent
from Earlingthn by the St. Der

The death Of Mr. E B. Frost last week
removes from our midst a worthy citizen
who will be much missed.

Mr.. and Mrs. claud Ross are visiting IN

When one contemplates the result of the
energy of few leading men in the Gift TO
the world OF that splendid enterprise. the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition, the mind
instinctiyely reverts from the deed Of age
Power and energy have existed through
out the ages, but they have been domi-
mated by motives corresponding with the
spirit OF those ages and which may be
plainly read in monuments left behind.
lyon the Tower of Babel, the Sphinx.
the Pyramids, are inscribed motives of no
uncertain meaning. They built for time.
Modern energy is expended in a vastly
different channel II builds for eternity.
But above all. il is pervaded by the rein
ing influences OF a religion, every ten.
dencY OF which is upward. making the
realization OF the present age a possibility
and logical sequence.
The City Council, at its session Monday

the best interests OF the city. but of the
railroad company as well. For If the prac-
tice continues. and the speed continues to
increase in future as in the past. II is only
question OF time when some serious and
costly accident will be the result, which
will more than likely be followed BY a de-
mand for more crossing watchmen.

THE tax rate is to be AK cents
in Kentucky. 1t had to be raised
in order that the State might pay
the big debt that has accumulated
under Democratic rule. Some
Democratic partisans are falsely
charging the necessity for this adj
vance to the present Republican
Administration, but the falsehood
is so palpable and the facts SO well
known that it can do the Repub-
can party no harm. On the
other hand the Republican law,
makers have shown their hon
esty and courage by going on
record as having passed bill ad
vancing the tax rate, and now Ken
tuckians are honest people before

bleak and dreary, cold and cloudy,
and following the general bac
weather of the previous twenty
four hours seemed to threaten the
humiliation of the multitude that
was confidently expected to witness
and take part in the opening cere-
monies OF the great Tennessee Cen
tenniaI. AT 9 o'clock, however,
the sun burst out in all ITS splendor
and gilded the procession's route,
and rendered more glorious and
lovely the magnificent gems of ar
chi,ectural triumph with which
the Exposition is so well adorned,
as il browning with the smiles of
the Almighty this the honest hand
iwork of man in glorious cause.
The crowd came and numbered
perhaps ~, 900.
The opening exercises were sim
pie. Gov. Stephens of Missouri
and ex-Vice President Stevenson
were among the invited guests.
Bishop Gailor, of Tennessee,
opened the exercises with an elo-
quent prayer.
President Thomas presided. The
gavel he used was made from the
tree on which Daniel Boone had
inscribed the event OF MS having
"cilled a bar" IN 1860. Another
gavel was made OF wood from the
house in which the first Tennessee
Legislature had met. Addresses
were made by President Thomas,
Gov. Taylor, Chief Justice Snod-
grass of the Supreme Court Of
Tennessee, Speakers of the Senate
and House of the Legislature Of
Tennessee, Mayor Mccarthy and
Director General Lewis. Maj.
Lewis did not, as some Of the pre-
ceeding speakers, say that he had
been invited only the day before
to make a FIVE minutes speech.
His name was applauded wildly
and his modesty prevented him
coming forward from his seat
some rows back from the front oil
the stage. He began the speech
that is published In today's papers
but never delivered il. He said;
"Twenty-one months ago you did
me the honor to place in my hands
the physical features of the cele-
bration of the Centennial of Ten
.nessee." Then he added 81 have
been all these twenty-one months
preparing my speech. This sally
was cheered TO the echo and his
eloquent speech was simply thus
s'It is with very great pleasure,
sir, that / present to you the keys. '
This was said to President Thomas
who responded with an eulogy
upon the successful work of Maj.
EC wis esad eaid--that-hie was the
n,ost- eloquent address that had
been delivered.
President Thomas then dictated
this message to President McKin
ley at Washington: "The people
of Tennessee send greeting, and
request that you now put in mo-
ton the machinery of the Tennes-
see Centennial Exposition. ]. w.
Thomas, President"
Less than two minutes the boom
of the cannon and the whirr OIL
machinery and the deafening dir
of steam whistles proclaimed the
fact that President Mckinley had
touched the button that started
the great show IN motion.
President Thomas said: 81 now
proclaim the Tennessee Centennial
Exposition open to the world"
