SIDEWALK PENClLINGS
The. capItol Additions.

T have been much interested in the Improvements and additions to the state Capitol Building, of which l have known man about town. in the lonDy of a down town hotel last evening, and this afternoon, 1 took stroll up getting along. i was pleased to no tice the progress that had been made by the builders on the southern ex, tension of the state House. ! found that the brick walls on one side are already almost up to the second floor. and from the evidence of work where the laborers had stopped Saturday. af- before the other side will have reach ed the second story also. Notwitn- standing the progress which has been made, however. it appears to me the if the building IS to be finished within the specified time, December l. De- lays on account Of the inability oi of the building on time has held them back, until now they have none too much time. Even after the building Is erected. there will be several understand. is to be very magnlil- gently fitted up, To my mind 1t IS almost imperative that everythins be State n for the sna s o5 Se ths relief to every citizen who takes pride In the building. when the work is fi- nally completed. There is not any too much time left for the work that Is to be done. and I sincerely trust there will be no more delays to the contrac- tors"

 Progress at Vandiver Park.
 T was surprised" said well known citizen last evening, ito see Athe strides that are being made at rsf state fa4 fRara1a @onth l s I made visit to the grounds, and from the appearance at that time. l ffeared the contractors were going to have trouble in getting the buildings erected in time for the event. But to- day, making another visit I was as- tonished to see what has been done h,,,ia in that time and how far along oolrn Iae tion. Not only Is Exhibit Hall nearly finished. but the Poultry Building IS entirely complete the workmen are starting on the grand stand and have already made marked progress on the work, while the foundation for. the Negro Building is almost completed, the superstructure which. I understand. is to be shipped from Tuskegee with in the coming week. In addition to these buildings, the an,.s,a are .as prase- es are now being given to the roof. Work on the track is also progress ing nicely, and the big oval, from ap- iRsort fme sheas ons of the things about the grounds. is the huge steel archway at the main entrance. it hs an adornment to. the Park. and the rate at which the workmen are now progressing, they should he en- tirely through with the erection of all ieeway before October S2. when tho Fair will open. The contractors have certainly been pushing things during the last month. and have performed wonders"
