Mayor TeaEuc Takes Matter Up With
 ExnO Officials

Expo OMctalS.
 Tn all probability. either the Eth or 10th of September will be the date for the observance of Montgomery Day at the Jamestown Exposition. Mayor Teague yesterday addressed a commu- nication to the advertising manager of the Exposition Company, asking if either of the above dates would be suitable to the company for the cele- bration of Montgomery Day. and fur ther asked that a special commissioner. If possible. be sent to this city to make all arrangements for the proper ob- servance.
 Under date of June 19 the Exposition Company wrote to Mayor Teague that much interest was being taken by Southern cities in celebrations of this kind, and suggested that Montgomery take the matter up. At its last meet ing the City Council. without debate, voted to reply favorably to the com munication and the letter of Mayor Teague, written yesterday. apprises the ExposltiorI officials of the Councils ac, tion.
 Mayor Teague says that he has re- ceived visits from various railroad of ficials offering to handle the crowd that the city expects to send to the big show and to make all necessary ar arrangements for the Montgomerians' comfort. It is expected that the com missioner will reach Montgomery in the course of the next two weeks, and that active preparations for q good at- tendance will be started.

NEGRO ARRESTED FOR
 STEALING WATERMEL LONS
Broke Into Coast Line Ger To Get At Tempting Produce, But Police man- -lnterfel -,s.th Ills En-
 jUyment.

On the charge of the burglary of a car and the larceny therefrom of a toothsome and tempting watermelon. Moody Cottrell, a negro 19 years of age. was yesterday arrested by Officer K. l. Duke. tried before the Recorders Court and bound over to the grand jury. The car burglarized was one in the Atlantic Coast Hine Railroad yards. and 1t held many watermelons similar to the one that the negro managed to reach, but not enter.
 It is alleged acainst the negro that he broke open the car door by force. and that he extracted the luscious article from its temporary receptable. Owing to the fact. however. that officer Duke, special railroad policeman. hap pened to see the negro before he could test the juice, small satisfaction was given the negro for his troubles. and nothing but trouble was stored against him when tried yesterday.
 The watermelon would have cost Cottrell about twenty five cents whereas the larceny attempt to get it will doubtless figure over twice that amount when named in dollars.

What is Dying?

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object
of beauty and strength, and l stand
and watch her until, at length, she
HAMS like a speck of white cloud just
where the sea and sky come down to
mingle with each other. Then some
one at my side says: There! she's
gone!" Gone where? Gone from
my sight-that is all. She is just as
large in mast and hull and spar as
she was when she left my side, and
Just as able to bear her load of living
freight to the place of her destina-
ton. Her diminished size is In ne
and not in her.
And just at the moment when some
one at my side says: There! She's
gone!" there are other eyes that are
watching her coming and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout,
"There she comes!" And that is
dying.-Sunday-Schoo. Esangel.

the landlord at once stepped up and
claimed it. All minerals and me-

said. That's in the lease
"But the tenant demurred. This
meteorite,' he said, wasn't on the
farm, you must remember, when the
lease was drawn up

tice of that claim. He thought a
moment. Then he said, decislvely,
