NEW ROAD PROJECT
BIRMINGHAM INTERESTED IN
 THE SCHEME.
Believed $500, 900 Can Be Raised in the Magic City Towards the Capital Stock of Vicks-
 burg 6 Birmingham.

Birmingham, Aug. 3.-(Special.)- IA joint meeting of the committees ap- pointed by the commercial bodies of Birmingham to hear further of the prospective Birmingham and Vicksburg Railroad project was held this morn- ing. Mayor Drennen presided. The project was discussed at considerable length.
 A resolution was finally adopted to the effect, that the commercial bodies represented shall appoint one represent ative each to constitute a committee to investigate the project fully. If this committee finds the proposition feasi- ble and is of the opinion that 1t will be well for Birn ingham to enter the scheme, then, upon its recommendation, the commercial bodies of Birmingham will guarantee 10 pay the Birmingham and Vicksburg Railroad Company $5,o0O towards the expense of the survey when the survey has been completed to this city. The commercial bodies reserve the right to designate one or more members who shall be elected to the Board of Directors of the road Birm- ingham thereby acquiring an interest in the project proportionate to the amount paid for the survey. It Is fig- ured that the survey will cost $200oo. In the meantime, pending the final ac- tion of the commercial bodies of Birm- ingham, the survey will be continued to Tuscaloosa, by which time. 1t Is be- lieved, the Birmingham committee will be ready to announce its final decision. If the 5000 is guaranteed, the survey will be continued to Birmingham with out a break.
 The plan adopted by the meeting will be submitted to the joint meeting of the several commercial organizations next week. During the discussion this morning it was stated by several that they were of the opinion that at least $500, 900 could be raised in this city to- wards the capital stock of the road If it's feasibility was shown and it was made clear that it will be an independ- ent line. Reference was made to this in the resolutions adopted. The com mercial bodies pledged themselves to use their efforts to raise 10 per cent. of the capital stock in the event that the proposition was acceptable to the people of Birmingham. Mir. Dinkins and his associates who came here from Mississippi to further this poject. left for home tonight highly pleased with the result of their labors.

VIEWS OF DOCTOR MITCHELL.
This Distinguished Scholar Writes About the
Proposed Exposition.
Editor of The Times:

Editor OF Inc IlfNeS:
Sir,-Expositions may be held for one of
two reasons. The first is merely busi-
ness; the second is a historic event. an
idea, a sentiment. Paris, Buffalo nd
Charleston are instances of thetnst class,
while Philadelphia, Chicago and StgIalis
are types of the second. Ths intofnparS
able value of the latter reasonq IS |! app

really compasses III the most effective
way the benefits to business sought ex-
clusively by the first method. II this is
true. Virginia has q wonderful vantage
ground both in the tri-centennial or
Jamestown and in her other rich historic
resources. The first permanent English
colony made anywhere-that is an event
which appeals to sentiment, and; it's. i'm

fits will attend its celebratiopsnwiH,5 in :

Every plan thus far suggested embraces
