at the last session of its legislature,
and Governor. Roberts, together with
his commissioners {and number Ut
prominent state officials recently WIS.,
tied the exposition grounds They
expressed great surprise at the pro-
gress Of the work and at the perfec-
ton Of the plans.
Commissioners from Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina
and Missouri have already selected
sites for their state buildings. Ohio
has just passed an Appropriation OF
5000, aid will select it's site in the
very near future, as will South Car
olina, which has. made an appropria-
ton Of $4,000. II.
Besides these states, Maine, Wis
consin, Florida and Delaware will be
represented. The exposition company
made no effort to secure state partici-
patton until the federal government
officially endorsed the celebration;
therefore, owing to lack Of time and
the fact that most of the other states
have had no legislative sessions since
the 4th Of last March, the invitations
to participate have not reached all
the commonwealths.
Among those states which have
been invited and have considered par
ticipation are Iowa and Kentucky.
In Iowa bill is now pending which
in oil probability will be passed, and
kentucky, through some misunder-
standing, failed to reach the exposi-
ton bill, but popular subscription is
now being raised there for the pur-
pose Of participation.
All Of the states whose legislatures
meet this year and those which do moi
meet until next year will be invited
and it is hardly possible that anyone
will refuse Virginia's invitation.
The entire amount appropriated up
to this time by the various states
reaches we'll over 100000, and this
sum is likely to be increased largely
until the final amount expended by
the states will approximate if not ex-
ceed one million and half dollars.

STATE PARTICIPATION.
Virginia Call To Sister States
Meeting With Hearty Response.

Chief Commissioner Dunn, of New
York, the head of the board which
will have charge Of New York's par
ticipation in the jamestown Exposi-
ton, very aptly struck the key note
of the jamestown celebration when
he said that "Virginia s invitation to
her sister states was nothing but the
call Of the mother inviting her chill
dren to celebrate the parents birth
day. That it has been so considered,
the ready response which the states
have made to Virginia. invitation
sufficiently proves.
The great Empire state has the
honor of making the largest appro-
priation up to the present time, viz,
$150,000.00
North Carolina was the first state
to appropriate, but there was condi-
tion connected with the legislative
enactment, viz, that the United States
should appropriate certain sum be-
fore North Cardinals bill should 60
into force.
The first unconditional appropria-
tion came from New Jersey; $4,000
was the sum designated. Recently
Governor Stokes, Of that state, ac-
companied by his entire commission,
visited the exposition grounds, inspee-
ted the surrounding territory, became
acquainted with the plans of the
managers and returning to New Jer-
sey, proclaimed that it would be his
endeavor to see that his state largely
increased her appropriation, so that
she would make an exhibit commen-
surate with the historical Importance
and commercial position Of the COM
monwealth. "
The commissioners from many 9TH
err states have visited the exposition
and secured sites for their buildings
The first commission came from
Rhode Island and the conferences be-
tween Rhode Island and the James
town people were very interesting and
left many new thoughts with the man
ayers Of the celebration.
Rhode Island, which is very rich
state in proportion to its size and pop.
ulation, has a history Of which any
american commonwealth might we'll be
proud, and the states commissioners
decided that an historical display in
their state building would be the most
proper form Of participation, and
they have prepared plans for such an
exhibition. 81

Why Dead River?
Century,.

Century.
Tie western branch Of the Kenne-
bee has been given the name Dead
river because in 1775 it was full of
drowned soldiers. So one may read.
But there is not syllable of truth
in it. And the next picture conjured
up by the name, doleful Styx, tur-
bid and miasmatic, is equally false.
The plain fact is that the, river flows
for long distance through meadows,
and unless the water rs high it scarce
ly seems to move at all. That is why
it has been called dead. Nothing
gloomy belongs to the name. A delec-
table and captivating stream is Dead
river. =.

a Ghost Story
BY James Mitchell.

squall. was so scared and hollered
SO loud that'I could not hear. Old
Gcana passed me and went on after
tho other boys. We were running
from home, and when the thing pass
cd me, I changed my course and SOON
came out into the big road about 3-4
of milo from home through the
woods and about a mile and half
around the road, so I took the road
around. I had not gone far before
I heard tho crowd coming behind me.
I had gotten in tho lead and old Geana
had given up the chase and we did
not hear anything more of him that
night. We got home, awoko father
and told him all that had happened
and great deal more. Each follow
had seen it and each drew different
picture in his own imagination. One
boy said it had very large eyes, most
as large as saucers. I declared it was
like giant and had long hair all
over its body. I just pictured tho
old darkoy's hairy man I had heard
him tell about. The old ,darkey said
I was right, for "dat was jist like
ole Geana, and he bet dat wus whut
hit wuz." The longer time we had,
the worse the story got. 1t broke up
'possum hunting in those woods. No
telling where the story would have
ended, it almost broke up the school,
for the children were afraid to 60.
Not long after this Mr.. James
Bonds and my father made up big
coon hunt. Mr.. Bonds lived near the
town Of Newberry. lie had four dogs
and my father three. On the evening
beforehand he came and brought his
dogs to spend the night. Soon after
supper the crowd got together and
asked nc if I was not going. But I
had not gotten over my other hunt
and would not go. They carried along
two negro men to do the choppng.
They hunted nearly all night and
caught several 'possums but no coons.
Mr.. Bonds and his crowd spent the
night and took breakfast next morn
ing. The crowd was so large that all
could not eat at one time, so I had to
wait and that made me mad. I went
out and sat down on the piazza steps
next to the kitchen where the waiting
girl had to pass in and out with break
fast as she carried it in from the
kitchen.
All of Bonds dogs were lying in
the piazza and ours were Just outside
in the yard. AS the negro girl pass
ed out to the kitchen she guyed me
for having to wait. I jumped off the
steps and reached under the piazza
for stick to throw at the girl. One
of Bonds dogs jumped out of the pi-
azza, with yelp, right down on my
back knocking me down.. Everyone
of Bonds dogs piled out on me and
they strung me in minute. All of
our dogs pitched into Bonds dogs.
And there on me they had free for
all dog fight. hollered, for I thought
they were going to eat me up. My
mother screamed and tell you I stop
ped the eating for while. They got
the dogs off or got me from under
them, nearly as badly scared as when
the ghost caught me a few weeks be-
fore. They had torn my clothes a lit
tie and had bitten one of my ears a
little. I was like Joe Stetson at the
Big Muster when he got whipped, and
I hollered.

WILL HELP ABATE POLE
AND WIRE NUISANCE
ALL COMPANIES MAY USE SAME
LINES
City Council Grants PriviIege-Ex-
pense of Construction and Main
tenance of Lighting Systems Will
Be Greatly Lessened

Los Angeles citizens can now live in
nope of an abatement of the pole and
wire nuisance. The city council yester-
day passed an ordinance granting the
privilege to the various companies on
Grating in the city under a franchise
10 combine their wires on one series
OF poles. This applies to such dig-
tricts as are not affected by the con-
duit ordinance.
Both the city and the corporations
using wires in their business are the
gamers. There are three electric and
TWO telephone companies doing bust
ness IN the city, and under the new
ordinance they will be privileged To
use the same poles. This will reduce
the cost Of construction and mainten-
ance for the corporations and prob-
ably reduce the number of poles one
hfth i'm those districts where all the
companies do business.
The ordinance is not mandatory. If
does not compel the companies using
wires to use the same series of poles,
but grants them that privilege. which
under the terms of their franchises
they could not have. AS the lighting
and telephone companies petitioned for
the ordinance, it is probable they will
aVail themselves of its provisions.
