The building for the Women's Ex-
position is going up rapidly. and al!
fear Of It's not being completed III time
to have all exhibits properly installed
by he opening date is removed. Those
who have seen the plans express them
selves as delighted with them. The
building IS 10 be quite a handsome.
substantial affair, far better than an
ticipated. and viii be an ornament to
Charlotte not only during the life OF
the Exposition. but after its close. The
Exposition management is greatly ell
coura9ed. and almost every department
will excel their earliest expectations.
so much has been said aud written
regarding the Fine Arts department,
that some have conceived the idea that
only works ofart will be placed Cd eX-
hibItiOn. Such an error could only
come from careless reading. The eX-
hbit Of curioS and war relics. revolu-
tionary and Colonial objects will be the
finest ever seen South, ard will con-
tain many valuable loans never before
placed upon exhibition.
Most all Of the larger and stronger
firms Of the city will make handsome
exhibits in the Industrial department,
and number Of manufacturing firms
in distant cities will also probably make
some independent exhibits.
The building and grounds are to be
lighted by electricity, which will be
supplied by seven hun died ltw
light plant, erected on the grounds by
the Charlotte Machine Company. I'm
doubtedly the electrical displays will
surpass anything ever seen i'll the
State, as this company have almost
iueXhaustible facilities. An extensive
| display by the cotton mills of the two
States is expected, as mill men are
deeply interested in all that will de-
velop the industries Of the Carolluas.
Several requests for an exhibit Of
fancy stock, poultry, and live pets, has
been made, and it is probable that an
exhibit OF this nature will be installed.
The Committee on transportation is
now working up the matter of reduced

announce /; rate so low as to draw
| many thousands of visitors.
This Exposition, it must be borne
| in mind is not one that covers acres
OF ground, but Is compact, compre-
! henslvc exhibit along Art, Scientific,

y prominent feature will be the sales
department of the Fine Art exhibit.
Arrangements have been made by
which the works of prominent artists
will be offered for sale. aud it is hoped
by the management that many fine
pictures will be sold and retained in
the two States.
The management will arrange a
boarding house and hotel register for
accommodation Of guests, and all who
attend will be insured a place at which
to stop during their stay. Information
Of all kinds will be cheerfully furnished
upon application to Mrs. Minnie Hebb

The North Carolina legislature has
passed an act requiring teachers of
public schools to read aloud to their
pupils at least twice each session the
constitution Of the United States and
the constitution of North Carolina
This is a "Crank idea' worthy OF
general adoption. Every youth in
| lHc country SnOulu DC maze lalnl ar
with the constitution of his State and
Of the United S,ates-the "bill' OF
each should especially be memorized.
By this means they will acquire knowl-
edge of the character and limitations
of their government; and this is some
thing that millions of adults, includ
ing shocking number of legislators,
have yet to do.-Columbia IS. c.
