SUNDAY LAW UNPOPULAR
Fair Officials May Take Steps to Have the Sunday Closing Act Re- pealed-Much Interest Man
 ifeted In Vulcan.
BY JAMES A. MAcKNlGHT.

St Louis, July 5.--(Speeial )lfhus Tar the weather in St. Louis has been cool and delightful, and the growth of attendance at the fair has been steady from day 10 day. Some of the blase gentry who have come here to scoff have been converted by all that they have seen of htis most wonderful of expositions. and it has now and conditions of men to admit with more or less enthusiasm. that the fair Is better than they had dreamed 1t would be.
 The Age-Herald is receiving so much news about the fair that I do not intend to add to the volume. What MT. Bow ron said the other day about proper celebration of Alabama Day, August 2, is the principal subject 1 wish to touch upon. Here is a great opportunity for Birmingham and for the entire state. No exhibit of a state or a country can equal an exhibit of it's people A large party of Alabama people should be here on August 2. The fair will practically be- long to them on that day. In the name of Alabama the bands will play, the ban ners will fly and the troops will march.
 It Is true we have no state building, and. under ordinary circumstances that would be great drawback and hindrance for state day celebration But Ala bama has the Vulcan exhibit in the Pal ace of Mines, and space enough about it to entertain very large company. At the dedication ceremonies on June ', we had 800 chairs in the space m front of Vulcan and in the aisles surrounding him. All were occupied and probably a0 persons stood throughout the exer- cises. There is no state building here which will accommodate so large com pany for an address except the great Missouri building, which has 8 hall espe- cially for that purpose.

Swallow Has Not Resigned.

Chicago, July 5.-oliver w. Stewart, chairman of the prohibition national com mlttee. made a statement tonight posi- lively denying that Silas c. Swallow had declined the prohibition nomination for President. He was equally positive in denying the rumor that the party man. agers had re-engaged Tomlinson hall at Indianapolis and that the delegates to the national convention are to be reassem- bled

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH.
Mob of Two Hundred Angry Citizens
 Take Him From Work Train.

Charleston, S. C., July 5.-John Taylor, negro laborer on the Seaboard Air Line work train, was taken from the train at Middenorff, a station twenty miles south of Cherawa this morning at 6 o'clock by h mob of over 200 men.
 He was carried about half mile away where he was to be shot, but broke from his captors and ran three hundred yards and there he was literally shot to pieces by the mob. Yesterday Taylor attempted m assault upon a 9-year-old child of Erwin Donhew and later one upon the wife of Noel c. Johnson, both prom- nent white families of Chesterfield county.

Should Have Large Party.

The want of an appropriation and of an adequate exhibit by the state can be largely compensated for by proper ob- servance of Alabama Day. As the gov ernor is not able to come, Acting Govern or Cunningham and his staff, with their wives, sisters and sweethearts, ought to be here Also a special tranload of pa triotic Alabamians who come chiefly to talk their state and It's resources. In cidentally they will have the best time of their lives and see the greatest expo sition the world has ever seen.
 It behooves the newspapers of Bir- mingham and the state In general to be here on that occasion, and to bring the people with them. It can be made a pe- riod of magnificent missionary work for Alabama.
 I sincerely hope that MT. Bowron's suggestion will be acted on promptly and effectively. I can assure all who come that they will be well repaid for the trouble and expense. Let the people get together and have a special train run to St. Louis for Alabama Day. They can make it a day of infinite value in the progress and development of the state and one long to be remembered by all who come to take part in It's exercises

Congress Impertlnent.

One of the commissioners here wbo is a democrat of the old school, takes very | positive grounds on the subject. and says 1t was a great piece of impertinence for congress to dictate to the American peo- pie on what they should or shonld not do on Sunday
 "These grounds ought to be thrown open on Sundays" says this gentleman. Tt would mean vast benefits to the peo- pie, and it would make revenues to pay back the loans which have been made by Uncle Sam It might not be feasible or desirable to open all the exhibit palaces but the art exhibits might be open and should be. The beer gardens .n the en- virons of St. Louis accommodate from 10000 to 100000 persons each Sunday, and 1t is safe to say that more than half of these would go to the exposition on Sun days if the gates were open, and the ad- mission placed at 25 cents. They would receive more benefit from visiting the exposition than from passing Sunday afternoon and night in the beer gardens The people need relaxation on Sundays and In my opinion congress was in mighty poor business when 1t deprived them of the right to enter the gates of the great est exposition ever given. The damage IS greater than can be measured in a mo- ment. It gives the working people a sense  Of being discriminated against and 1t is an actual and positive encroachment by congress upon the rights ana liberties of the American people as whole If they can begin to prescribe what the people snail do on Sunday. they may soon reg uiate our actions for every day in the week; institute a curfew to regulate our going to bed, and fix a certain hour far us to rise in the morning It sets a had precedent and is certain to lead to bad results"
 There is talk of a concerted action to get the obnoxious law repealed, but Mir. Roosevelt will be so busy looking after his campaign, and the other officials of the government will be so hard at work helping him, that it is unlikely anything can be done. Meanwhile the proprietors of the beer gardens the dives of all l kinds, and shady resorts in and out of

Sunday Closing Unpopular.

Much regret and complaint are ex> pressed by the people from all over the country on account of the exposition grounds being closed on Sundays Some or the most vociferous Of the eompIaints come from people who are shut up all day Sunday in the compound of the Inside Inn, and have no egress, except into the country roads which lead to the city streets. Scarcely one of these people has come here with any other idea than that he or she would be able to range at ljb
 erty in the exposition grounds on Sun days even though the exhibit palaces and shows were all closed Their dis appointment is the more bitter because the glorious lagoons, the shaded green swarU, the art galleries and other at
 tractive features of the exposition are so near at hand-almost within touch.-and yet entirely out of reach because of n high wire fence. To the person coming here from distance this Sunday restric- ton put upon the fair by congress in a rider to an appropriation bill It rops them or one-sceventh of their vacation in any case, even if they are prepared to stay week here, and the reduction is often great deal more. It forces thomsards of strangers to remain cooned up all day in stuffy boarding houses. ,,n- less they prefer to visit the beer gardens. or take trip on the river boats which are simply floating Ramhlinp dons

Vulcan an Alabama Coon.

The Vulcan exhibit is attracting worlds of attention. One of the commissioners for Oregon, who served in the same ca pacity at Chicago, and at the Paris ex- position of 1900 has written in the Reg ister here: This Is the greatest exhibit ever gotten up for any exposition"
 Some people think the great black giant represents negro labor in the south and yesterday young woman told her com panions that it was the Alabama coon. All who see 1t pronounce the name of Birmingham, and it is universally ad- mitted that the statue is the one thing in the exposition which the observer can never forget.
