WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The fence around the Worlds Fair
grounds will be six miles long. Steps
have been taken to have this built at
once.
The special grand stand for the Cen
tennial ceremonies on April 80, May 2
and 8 next, will seat 3o,ooo people. 1t
will be 300 feet long.
Thomas K. Drummer, for eighteen
years secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture of North Carolina, has been
appointed superintendent of special ex-
hibits in the Worlds Fair department Of
agriculture by Chief F w. Taylor. Com
plete special exhibits will be made of
several important farm crops and their
products. These are sugar beets, corn,
cotton, rice and tobacco.
The demand for Worlds Fair exhibit
space in all departments is such that it
will undoubtedly be all taken months
before the opening day. Allotments are
being made rapidly. The value of the an
nual product of manufacturing indus
tries in the United States has increased
50 per cent since the Columbian EXPOSE
ton at Chicago notwithstanding the
tar greater area of exhibit space for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in com
parison with the Chicago fair it is really
4
less IN proportion to the probable de-
rnands from the manufacturers and pro-
ducers in the United States and foreign
countries.

A NEGRO LYNCHED
HE WAS PULLED TO THE LIMB
OF A TREE.
He Assaulted Tom McDade of Bossier.
Fired at and Shot Harvey Con-
nell, the Overseer.

Tuesday morning shortly after {
o'clock tragedy was enacted on the old
Knox Point plantation in Bossier about
twenty miles below Shreveport. A long
drawn out statement may be surnmar-
lied in these words: Jim Brown, a ne
gro occupied a cabin on the plantation
where he was employed. When awak-
ened by Mr.. Connell, the overseer, he
replied that he would not go to work
as his brother was in trouble. On re-
porting this fact to Mr. McDade, who
is the owner of the plantation, Mr.. Con-
nell, was directed to return to the ne
gros cabin and come with him to the lot
where he would give him his time. Jim
Brown dragged along in a sulky mood,
muttering to himself, until he reached
Mr.. McDade who upbraided him for his
laziness The negro rejoined with impu-
dent words. Connell had started to the
commissary to get Browns time when
he was startled by McDade calling him,
Harvey! Harvey" and as he faced
about saw the negro and Mr.. McDade
struggling desperately. The negro held
six-shooter in his right hand. AS Con-
nell rushed towards the combatants he
could not fire without endangering Nc
Dade Suddenly the negro released his
grasp on McDade and fired at Connell,
who was shot in the forearm, and a sec
ond shot struck him in the leg. Connell
was disabled and power1ess to defend
himself or to assist McDade. The negro
then jumped aside and fired at McDade
and ran away. AS the negro was fleeing
he was shot in the leg by Connell, who
had emptied his pistol.
A posse of white men was organized
and after brisk ride Jim Brown was
captured, disarmed and hanged to tree
near McDade station on the Shreveport
and Red River Valley road about half
a mile distant. from the place where the
negro had shot Connell. #5s
The negro was regarded with disfavor.
He was shiftless and disturber of the
peace, and in the moment of excitement
the outraged citizens became the judge,
the jury and the exeeutioner at one and
the same time. Such action is not sur
prising and is the result arising from
the apprehension of danger when des-
perate and lawless man is menace to
the peace and well being of community.
Mr. Connell is at the Sanitariun
where he is receiving the best attention
Fortunately he was not seriously wound
ed and he will recover speedily.

A WillfUl Misunderstan

Pitt was induced by Sir John Sim

ture toward the end Of the eighteenth
century and make him the president
Having enjoyed his office for a few
years, Sinclair began to desire promo
ton in the social scale Dear Mr.
Pitt" he wrote to the prime minister,
don't you think the president of the
board of agriculture should be a peer?"
'Dear Sir John Sinclair replied
Pitt, II entirely agree with you. l

board Of agriculture"
Sir John Sinclair went about wiring

RIVER FORECAST.
A Steady Rise Will Overflow Unpro-
tected Lands.

Z
Red river will probably continue to
tall slowly above Garland City for some
distance
At Shreveport the rate of rise has in
creased and present indications point to
a gage reading of about 28 feet during
Saturday, and river will probably about
rise to the danger line of 20 feet BY next
Tuesday. Highest water is now expected
by next Tuesday or Wednesday unless
heavy rains intervene.
Owing to the unrepaired crevasse 1t
Elmer bayou the overflow will cover
much land down to Shreveport, and the
railroad tracks will probably be under
water to considerable extent.
At Arthur City Another rise Of some
moment will probably be soon apparent
at Arthur City as result Of heavy and
general precipitation reported and indi-
Gated N the upper valley of Red river.

that I do not exactly like to profess to

The colonel stopped his team before
the cabin Of an Arkansas squatter to
say to the man sitting on log at the
door:
when was along here a month ago
and asked you how far it was to Col
fax, you said it was twelve miles. It's
only nine. Why didn't you say nine"
''It was the old woman's fault" re-
piled the squatter. II wasn't suah
whether it was nine or twelve, and so
I went in and axed her. She reckoned
1t was twelve, and had to reckon the
same or have row. When reckoned
as she reckoned, she reckoned that
you'd reckon it was twelve miles nigh
enough, and reckon you reckoned that
way.s

again. She had no gun, but he did not
know that. Molly's next move was to
pass like flash to her brothers cell
and let him out, telling him to stand
guard while she got help. The strange
part of the story is that he did just
what she told him. Through her wit,
courage and loyalty the whole flock of
jailbirds was prevented from escaping.
After that 1t was only natural when a
vacancy In the jailership occurred that
Molly Grady should be invited to fill 1t.
Talladega county ought to be very
proud of its Molly Grady.
D Not often prisoners test the mettle
of the woman jailer. They know bet
ter. Once big, ugly negro, with a
face SCARED by razor slashes, was i'm
prisoned. She gave him an order one
day. He gave her back talk and re-
fused to obey. Instantly she unlocked
the cell door and was on him like
lion. She gave him a thrashing that
he will remember as long as he remem-
bers anything earthly. From that day
to this there is awe In his eye even
when he looks at her. as though she
were a being superhuman She has a
wonderful, compelling gray brown eye,
with an eaglelike glance, as of one fear
Ing nothing that lives.
She told the interviewer she applied
the water cure" to obstreperous pris-
oners, a modified water cure OF her
own devising. She says: Il just yank
the sassy rascals out into the far end
OF the aisle and turn th0hose on them.
It does them coed, soul and body"
And, after all, Molly Grady is hu-
man and woman. Her soul Ii as ten
der as It Is large and fearless. She
does all the cooking for the prisoners,
and when they are ailing she pulls out
her own purse and buys them delica-
cies that they need. Once she ran into
. burning house and brought out tiny
baby when its own mother did not dare
70 after It Think of the little dar-
Ing burning to death Z, she said.

The Beautiful Turquoise.

The turquoise is considered as a tails
man in Persia, its native soil. 1t pre-
serves its possessor from accidents and
insures constancy In affections. The
value Of the turquoise depends on its
shade and its size, especially its thick
ness. Those classed as belonging to the
old rock are valued very highly. EN-
blem of youth, of sentiment and tender
recollections, the turquoise may be
called the forget-me-not of stones.

RAILROAD
 CONSTRUCTION
Expect First Train to be Run on Coal Greek Short Line
 Very Soon.

Mr. Falcon Joslin returned day or two ago from the operations he, in con- pany with his associates, are conduct ing at the coal mine on Coal creek, short distance below Fortymile and back some twelve miles from the Yu- kon. He brings most iattering reports of the progress being made in the con struction of the railroad which will afford an outlook for the product of their mine. The road will be twelve miles long when completed. It extends up the main valley of Coal creek for a distance of five miles then follows the south fork of the creek the remainder of the distance. Seven miles of the grading are completed ready for the rails, and the graders are now on the last section. Nearly all the ties needed are out, there being 10000 hewed and the balance sawed at the mill belong ing to the company, situated ut the mouth of the creek. Timber for the mill is obtained up the creek and float ed down to the mouth. All the lumber needed for bridges, bunkers, both at the mine and river, houses for the laborers and timbering for the mine has been gotten out at the mill.

Large Crowds at Dexter.

Large crowds took advantage of the cheap excursion rates over the Nome Arctic railroad last Sunday. It was a warm, beautiful day, and'the crowd evi- dently wanted to get away from the city. Every car was crowded and the groves about Dexter were filled with people. It was an ideal day for those who sought recreation and change out of doors. Manager Monroe deserves great credit for the way the people were handled.

BOARD FROM
 WALRUS TUSK
Young Miner Carves Work of Art in Ivory for Cribbage--
 Lifelike Figures.

Out of a walrus tuSls which he se- cured at Nome two years ago Hallie Heacock, of Lovett gulch, has formed . cribbage board that is regular work of art. The top of the board represents an Arctic scene. The base forms an Eskimo hunter, with his rife levsled ct a polar bear. The figures are beau tifully carved, that of the man looking almost animate.
 A cub follows in the track of the polar bear. On the rest of the board walrus heads rise out of the ivory. At the top is g kyak with an Eskimo straining forward as though looking far out to sea. The end of the base is hollow and holds deer. The cribba ge pins represent Arctic birds, paddles, etc. The board is supported by lion.
 On the back of the board is an en. graving of the steamer Nome City, with various Alaskan scenes. Part oi the carving was done at Nome. The walrus tusk is softer than that of the mastodon and does not crack.-Dawson News.
 Such works of art-perhaps not quite so elabOrate-can be seen on the streets and in the stores of Nome every day. The craze for the work of the natives in and about Nome, supplemented by the art of others, is both natural and common. All tourists, as we'll ss sour. dOughs, are its victims. "a
