not in evidence to any great degree.
Just to show our people What some
of our Southern States are doing IN
the way of preparation for the great
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and TO
urge our people, n and all, to be up
and doing for the sake of the State We
love, we append the following, taken
from hundreds of equal interest in the
current issue of the Exposition Bulle-
tin:
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Texas Worlds Fair Com
mission, in Dallas, February 26, Gen
eral Manager Workman announced
that thirty-four counties Of the State
had completed Worlds Fair organiza-
lions that were hard at work, while
similar organizations were being
formed rapidly in other counties.
At a meeting of the Lumbermen's
Association Of the South in New Or
leans, February IL, it was definitely
determined to erect a clubhouse on the
grounds of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, to serve the double purpose
Of a meeting place for Southern lum-
bermen and Of advertising the merits
and beauty Of yellow pine, cypress, etc.
The Worlds Fair Directory of Ark
ansas, at Little Rock, February Is,
awarded the contract for the Arkan-
sas State building at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to F. w. ]. Hart
Of Hot Springs. The plans call for a
building 150x150 feet, with two wings
rs feet each, to cost s100, 900, including
materials, which will be donated.
The Missouri Press Association, In
session in st. Louis, February 6 and
7, appointed e. w. Stephens of Column
bia, w. R. Painter Of Carrollten, H. E.
Robinson of Maryville and w. d.
Thomas Of Fulton a committee to con-
fer with the exposition authorities and
i%naugurate the work of bringing the
National Editorial Association and a
Worlds Congress of Editors to st
Louis in 1903.
The above will be Of especial inter
est to the newspaper folks among our
readers.
Another item that will bring pleas
ure to hundreds of Mississippians Is
the announcement that the Travellers
Protective Association will build a
splendid house for themselves and
their friends, for which more thar
500, 900 has been contributed by the
generous T. p. AS.
We do not often prophesy. Hence
our pleasure is very great when oul
rare prophecies come true, as was the
case in the matter of the Industrial
College investigation, ordered by the
Legislature after the introduction o.
the benson resolution, and numerou!
i~nsinuations (now known to be base
less) on the floor of the House. A
joint committee, duly appointed
armed with full authority ant
equipped for a long stay and a thor
ough search, went to the college OIL
Monday, March 10, and entered upoi
their work. Their duties kept then
at the college something more than
week, during which time everything
and everybody was investigated, "fron
A to etc." 1t is said by some of tn
committee that their most strenuou
efforts failed to bring forth one fac
against the college or it's management
and this despite the fact that its legi:
lative enemies were given full permits
sion-indeed, were urged-to spea'
before the committee. So, we rejoic
to repeat. this great institution, b.
: loved of our people, has come throug'
; the fires unframed, and we rejoic
; with the many thousands who love tn
college and the girls who study ther,
