With an Army. of American Workmen

Exhibit Of Keenest Interest.

Special to The Journal. :. ~
CT. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-The walls of
the ancient city of Manila are

worlds fair.
Fifty native Filipinos, clad in their
native costumes, are working with
their native materials and tools. Sew

workmen are engaged in rearing great
structures and preparing the way for
the work to be finished. by the ma
tives.
Fifty-two carloads of building ma
terial and exhibits from the Philip
pine islands reached the worlds fair
grounds few days ago and immedi-
ately the Interesting work Of native
construction was begun.
: Already the walls of Manila are
assuming such form as to give token
This walled city" will be the main
gateway to the Philippine exhibit.
The walls will be covered with staff
| in imitation Of stone, and will present
replicas Of the beautiful and most ro-
mantle entrances to the historic city.
| The bastions, gun ports and turrets
are being reproduced with fidelity:
The wall is twenty feet high and
| about sixteen feet thick. It is not
solid and rooms in the wall will be
used for exhibiting war relics and
other objects OF interest.
Excavations have been completed
for a deep lake, which is named La
guna de Bay, and which is spanned

Spain, which, as it's name suggests

name in Manila. It is being con-

The Great Argus Is Very Shy and

OF all the pheasants the great argus
Is the rarest and most peculiar in his
habits. In the wild state he inhabits
the dense forests of Sumatra, the ia
van peninsula, and he is also found in
similar localities in Borneo. The big
birds are large and tender and rarely
ever take to wing. There is no record
of one ever being shot So shy are they
that only a modern rife could reach
one, even If pan could be found
cruel enough TO pull the trigger. They
are, however, trapped by the natives
for their wonderful wing feathers, OF
which nature can produce no equal in
a feather way. The male bird when
fully grown is abort seven feet in
length. He shows no beauty until his
wings are spread Then you forget
where and who you are. He lives the
life Of bachelor--a modern bachelor
he fans spot on the level earth with
his wings some ten or twelve feet
square near his bachelor apartments.
Here he comes frequently. except when
molting, and displays his enormous
wings. like a butterfly or skirt dancer.

head, where the peculiar argus eyes
are revealed in a diagonal position. at
which slant they show OFF to the best

The clsrion-Ledger Of recent date
says:
Prof. J. c. Hardy, president Of the
Mississippi Agricultural aud Mechanical
College. was IN the city last night re-
turning home from HsrmanvIIle where
he delivered the annual address at the
commencement exercises OF the Clai-
borne county schools.
Claiborne is the ouly county In the
state having thorough high school sys.
tenn In its country schools and term
covering . period OF eight and oue-hslf
months. The system is conducted on
plan In all respects similar to that Of
q separate school district.
"I hspe to see the day when every
county In Mississippi will have a school
system equal to that Of Claiborne coun-
ty," said Prof Hardy. "The plan Is
doing more for the advancement Of the
county than any single factor 10 its de-
velopment and ils effects are plainly
discerusbIe among the masses. Il
means an educated citizenship Of the
highest class, aud the expense Is small
as compared with the magnificent re-
suits achieved.
"The graduating class this year was
composed Of seventeen members and the
exercises, which were highly interest
ing, were witnessed by large assembly
OF citizens from all parts OF the county.
In consequences OF ber system Claiborne
gets the best teachers In the state, many
of them being secured from other coun-
ties, and they are paid good salaries.
The best results cannot be secured from
cheap teachers who serve short terms,
and II other counties would adopt the
Claiborne system they would soon see a
marked improvement In their citizen

Dear Mr.. Editor:
II Is rumored that was Sinking re-

an addition to the court house. Also
The public road question.
do not feel vexed bat somewhat hu-
initiated because Of these charges made
by Claiborne county citizens whom 1
have tried to serve faithfully and hon
eslly.
Sickness In my family was the cause
Of my absence.
AS I have decided views on these
questions. now before us. will endeav-
oFto state where I have stood snd now
stand. TO prove that am not dodging or
stsaddiinR measures.
Iuasmuch as the grand Jury has from
time 10 time recommended certain inn
provemeuts about the court house, II
was at my suggestion at our January
meeting that the matter was taken up.
Messrs. Hull Bros, architects OF Jack
son, were advised as to about what was
wanted, and prepared plans and speci6-
cations aud submitted them to the Board,
the terms Of which I did not approve
and voted against their adoption.
The Board has, at the last meeting,
turned The Hull plans down aud adopt
ed new set. presented by another ar
ehitect. thus bearing out my views and
making effective my vote at the previous
meeting.
My idea at first was not 10 make such
extensive improvements as Is now con-
templated. but since the matter has come
up and / have thought II over carefully
and find the people want an up.to-
date court house, as other counties are
building. think we should have It.
Now, as to the road question. will say
that am not In favor of creating the
Office OF Road Commissioner. I consid-
er II an expensive experiment. having
the same old way working the roads
with farming implements, and think
II would cause general dissatisfaction.
There Is on the market durable and
inexpensive machines that will do the
work At fifty men that can only be used
ts an advantage By a contractor.
Il Is not my purpose to obstruct any
movement that will improve our roads
to the contrary; aud any method finally
adopted by our Board will have my
hearty co operation. l am in favor OF
the roads, aud ouIy work
the 6rst-cIass BY contract. which would
about one-half The mileage OF
the roads.
Many of the crossroads could not be
worked With machines. Let those be
worked as now, under the overseer sys-
TEN, and be exempt from paying COM
mutation tax.
The time I would favor for contract to
be given Is next March, beginning Of
road year. That would give us time to
make specifications aud get contractors,
and they would have ample time to ar
range for teams, machines, etc. Also
that Is the time for road building, SO
that the bed can be settled before fall
hauling and the winter rains.
The hands will then have no claims
against the road for any time. which
was quite : trouble ID eur last contract
system. Very respectfully,
