nizlng Africa. 1t is the opportunity of
the United States to show the lines
upon which 1t is attempting racial adj
justment. e
In order to make the exhibit credita-
Bile it Is particularly desired that a
large collection of photographs, small
models OF inventions and SAMPLES of
work, be secured. and any person in
Norfolk, Portsmouth or Berkeley can
aid the exhibit by forwarding any in
terestihg photograph which represents
any phase of negro life. We prefer all
photographs unmounted, but you can
send them in the manner most con-
venient to you.
We are especially anxious for pic

means that one hour and thirty seven
minutes of n second hour, from
given time, have passed. In all circu-
lar measure, this notation prevails. an
arc less than n degree being designated
as no degrees, SO many minutes, so
many seconds. We speak Of the cycles
OF time. The heavenly bodies, that
regulate the times and the seasons,
travel in closed curves. Why should
not the notation of years and centu-
ries follow this order, the end Of the
99th year being marked 80, the end of
the hundredth being marked 100? Or,
passing UP the tapo-line to the end of

Last night we passed up Cor DOWN

decide.
In either case, the new century, A.

Several interesting paragraphs and

siastical articles have appeared in the
papers concerning the date on which the
twentieth century begins. Wise and
excellent men have assured us that it
begins with the beginning of the year

that, by definition, a hundred years

them as being the old quarters in new

Solid oak, every bit of it, the wanscot-
ing, the counter, the chairs, the desks,
and the partitions. There are two pri-

box has been neatly fitted up.
The entire front of the office floor is
used by the agents of the Southern To-

tain Charles W. Westbury, travelling
passenger agent, and Messrs. ". ii. Ben
nett and Beni. S, Baker, soliciting freight
agents, with their affable clerks, Messrs.
Herbert Bennett and Allie Lechler.
Immediately in the rear of the main
office the private offices are located. Ine
partitions are polished oak and ground
glass, and are most conveniently ar
ranged. The floor and walls are covered
with linoleuna and paper, respectively, of
