dent of the Confederacy.

Owing TO the anniversary of the birth
day of Jefferson Davis which will be OBJ
served as a legal holiday in Georgia to-
day. the Cotton Exchange. the Board Of
Trade and the banks will be closed. The
day will probably take on all the appear
ances of a holiday with the exception of
parades and other demonstrations.
The name of Davis will always be dear
to the hearts OF those who revere and cher
ish in the memory the Confederacy.
Francis S. Barlow Camp of Sons of Con-
federate Veterans will nod its anniversary
meeting and give its annual supper at
knights of Pyth!as han tonight. The
members of the camp will meet at $3.50
o'clock for the purpose of electing officers
and transacting such other business as
may come before The meeting, and the sup
per will be served Immediately afterwards.
Among those who have accepted invita-
tons to deliver short talks to the camp are
Gen. P. McGlashan, president of the Con-
federate Veterans Association, Capt. c.

rounded by Artificial stone.
The artificial stone sidewalk being built
around the public building is of the finest
quality. The work is being done by Ital-
ian workmen who put down the Mosaic
flooring In the corridors, which has at.
tracted so much attention from visitors.
The workmen have completed the walk
at the southwest corner of the building
and will probably be ready to-day to be-
gin on the wide stretch facing the north
side. The wax is different from the quail
ity of artificial stone now being laid quite
generally in Savannah, being black in
color and having smooth, finely finished
surface. The care being used in it's con-
struction is a sufficient guarantee of it's
durability, which it is claimed surpasses
that of any other kind of walk.
An effort is being made to turn the build
ing over TO the local postoffice authorities
at the earliest possible time. Ii was ex-
pected the old Office would be established
in the new building by June l, but 1t is
understood some of the material was ate
in arriving. and that the builders were
thereby delayed in their work Supt An
derson is exerting himself to wind things
up sufficiently within the next ten days
TO admit of the postofEice people taking
charge. This will be a source of salts
faction to the public, as the opening Of
the building has been anticipated so long
that the event will be relished.

SCORED A
VICTORY.
Resolutions Favorable TO Ken,
lucky Asphalt.
Passed by the State Commercial Con-
vention.

The chief item of bushes, the one that
most vitality affected the interests Of this
county, that was transacted at the State
Commercial convention at Louisville
last week, was the pas isge OF the follow
ing resolution.
RESOLVED. THAT THE CITIES
AND TOWNS OF THIS COMMON
WEALTH BE REQUESTED TO USE
THE ASPHALT PRODUCTS OF THIS
STATE IN MAKING STREETS, PRO.
VIDED THE OWNERS OF THE
ASPHALT IN THIS STATE MEET
THE PRICES OF COMPETITORS AND
GIVE TO THE CITY SATISFACTORY
ASSURANCE THAT THE WORK
SHALL EQUAL ALL OTHER AS
PHALT IN ALL ESSENTIALS AS A
GOOD AND DURABLE STREET.
The adoption of this resolution was
the result of a fight made by a delega-
ton consisting Of fifty of the principal
business and professional men of this
county who were compelled to take this
action by reason OF the fact that the
Louisville Board of Public Works was
discriminating against the breckenridge
county, product.
Speeches in favor OF the resolutsOn
were made by Richard Knott, editor Of
the Louisville Post, Ed Goodnight and
others.
In a sense it was a clean victory for
Breckenridge county though it is not
thought that the board will act on the
recommendation.
