DROP HALF DOLLAR
 IN SLOT AT GATE
NO TICKET SELLERS NOR CAT KEEPERS WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BIG ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR.

St. Louis. April 17.-It has been decided by the world fair management to install electric devices instead of having ticket sellers and ordinary turnstiles during the exposition period.
 The Linden entrance will be the main gate to the exposition. There are thirty two turnstiles being installed and through this entrance alone, it Is estimated that at least 800 persons can pass every six ty seconds. To gain admission to the grounds person must approach the turn stiles and place a half dollar in a slot
 This half dollar as it deseends is still visible and releases a lever which un- locks the turnstile. The person then can pass through the gates and the minute that he is inside the turnstlle is locked. The individual gates are being installed for children. A. these turnstiles a quar- ter will operate the mechanism.

Extraordinary ACCOnlmO-
 datIOns at St. Louis Fair
Splendid Hotel Right Inside Exposition Grounds-Thousand of Rooms
 Very Moderate Rates.
 Ideal Conditions.

Visitors to the Worlds Fair at St. Louis need not fear either lack of accommoda- tions or extortionate prices Under the supervision of the Worlds Fair manage ment a huge hotel has been built right in side the exposition grounds where every comfort and modern convenience at most reasonable rates can be enjoyed by all.
 This new departure in worlds fair ae- commodations is called ''The Inside Inn" and it is built and furnished upon the same lavish Scale which characterzes every feature of the big show. It is three- stories high, is 400 feet wide and 800 feet long. It contains spacious reception rooms, reading rooms, parlors and offices and its dining hall and restaurant will seat 2,500 people to meal at single sit ting. It has 2,257 bedrooms the prices of whicn range from S1.50 10 $5.50 per day on the European plan and from S3.00 to SI00 on the American plan, including daily admission to the exposition, all guests enjoying the same dining room privileges and service. The Inside Inn is under the direct management and supervision of MT. D. M. Statler, the well known caterer of Buffalo. This fact alone is sufficient guarantee that the cuisine and service will always be of the very highest order.
 Those who remember the hearbreaking weariness of the long journey homeward after tiring day at the Worlds Fair at Chicago or the Pan-American at Buffalo will instantly appreciate the extraordi- nary convenience and comfort afforded by thus residing right within the exposi- tion grounds. No admission fee other than the first will be needed by guests of The Inside Inn, while the saving effected of carfares, suburban train service, etc, will prove a valuable item to those who study economy.
 The enormous capacity of The Inside Inn assures ample accommodations for all-no matter when or in what numbers they come-but those who prefer to se- cure their rooms in advance may make reservations now for any period during the life of the Fair A post card address ed to The Inside Inn, Administration Bldg, Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis.

To Have Four Churches.

There are three churches in this town conI Ileted-two Baptist and one Method ist The Presbyterians have an organiza- tlon and are just now erecting hand some |, use of worship, which, by the way. will be the first and only Presby terian ch, oh in this county. while there are thirty-two Baptist churches. The first Baptist church of Roanoke is one of the most imposing and elegantly ar ranged Trick churches in the state. It was erected in 1901 at a cost of $1SO00.
 Roanoke has two hotels the Arlington. by J. F. Turner and the Commercial. Sev- era large livery and sale stables are here and this is accounted a fine stock mar ket--this trade being quite large.
 The Leader is the weekly journal istic exponent of the town and county, and is doing good work along that line. Roanoke has one flourishing bank, and another has been organized, and will be- gin business as soon as it's new brick and stone building is completed.
 Roanoke receives annually from 10000 to 25,000 bales of cotton, and this accounted an excellent farming section. The plant CTS have much improved their financial condition the past year, and have n- creased their acreage about 15 per cent for 1904 They made enough of the food crops last year to run them through and will not neglect these this year. This Is an ex- cellent fruit-growing section, especially for apples, and the writer is informed valuable fruit to the markets, always keeping enough for home consumption from season to season. The "Yeates" ap- pie is the popular variety. It is quite lucious and is easily preserved in its na- tural state.

Important Poultry Market.

Roanoke boasts herself of being an im- portant poultry market. It is said that last year $75,000 worth of poultry and eggs were shipped to the markets from this point Near here are several large poultry farms. and the industry is reaching most important magnitude in commercial way.
 Roanoke owns its own water works and electric lighting plants. These were erected at a cost of 5000 which sum was obtained by the issuance of $35, 600 of five per cent fortyyear bonds, which sold at a high premium in 1901. Both systems are fine, but there is a personal express sion of belief that Roanoke should have done as did Dadeville, by utilizing the splendid water power close by for gener- ating electricity. This water power is only two and one-half miles distant, and is said to be very powerful. It's use would save much in the expense of care and management, to say nothing of the fuel account which Is quite an item here
 Roanoke Is growing to be manufac- turing town. Here located are a cotton factory with 20.00O spindles, built entirely by home capital fertilizer factory, cot tonseed oil mill and steam ginnery All giving employment to busy population.
 Well Populated Country.
 Randolph county has a population of 3OOO1, about sixty-five pr cent of which are whites. The county is well watered, having two rivers and several swift flowing creeks passing through it. About sixty per cent of the county is still heav- fly timbered in pine and the hard woods Not much attention has thus far been paid in this county to stock raising though all the forage crops, especially the grasses grow in perfection.
 There is a great scarcity of labor in this section. The increased acreage has made the demand heavy. But many white laborers have gone to the cotton fac- tories, and negroes still find renumer- ative employment in railroad pulling, in the mines and at the furnaces. This la- Dor question presents rather a serious as- pect.
 It seems to invite immigration moro strongly than ever before. but it must be immigration of the right kind-industri- ous Germans. Italians and those sturdy fellows of the northwest who are snow- bound all winter can find here homes de- lightful and employment remunerative. They ought to be invited to come The opportunity is here for mutual benefit between the home-people and the new corners.

BY FRANK V. EVANS.

Roanoke, April 17-(Special.)-It is hard ly probable that any one in Birmingham would become offended if the writer should designate thls as Maj. William A. Handley's town. because Roanoke. in Randolph county. is closely associated with the name of Handley. It was here among these people that Major Handley established the basis of his fortune. which has so successfully grown under the im- petus of Birmingham's onward march. From this point his prophetic finger point ed to Birmingham as Alabamas s great fu- ture mow present. metropolis: and from this people he has repeatedly received high political honors However, there are others here who have placed their all on Roanoke, and right we'll nave they builded a town; yes. city, which today boasts a population of about 2S00, and values approaching $2,OO0,O00.
 Roanoke is the terminus of this branch of the Central of GeorgIa railway, d distance forty miles northeast of Ope lika. Asked when this road proposed fur ther to build, a wideawake citizen said today Tt came to Roanoke to handle this business, and will go no further, yet we should welcome another line to put us in nearer touch with Birmingham and with the great northwest"
