PRAISES THE BIG FAIR.
Prof. BARLEY, of Vermont, Pleased
with jamestown Exposition,

That there are many, many things
worth seeing at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. and that Virginia has done its ut
most for the comfort of her visitors. Is
the firm conviction OF Prof ]. d. BARLEY
Of Burlington. Vt, who has spent several
weeks in the vicinity Of the fair.
The government buildings, including the
Postal. Fisheries. Smithsonian. and Food
Exhibits, were the main sources Of enjoy
ment to the professor. who has spent
much time at former large expositions
He thinks that jamestown compares IA
vorably with any of them, though on a
much smaller scale.
Prof BARLEY said There is a great
improvement In the condition Of the
grounds. due. perhaps, to the excellent
weather. and considering the many hand
leaps under which the exposition labored
Il IS immensely credltable. The Baldwin
locomotive display is the finest have
over seen.
The hospitality and kindness OF the
Virginians is something that all Northern
ers should experience. There is an
abundance Of provision for visitors in
Norfolk, and 1 did not hear any one COM
plain as 20 their entertainment
The prices in the city are reasonable,
but those on the exposition grounds are
about double what they should be-"

Central of Georgia Railroad to Oakley
ThOrne. president Of the Trust Company

dent Of the Union Trust Company, Of
Providence r. l.
The Southern Railways interest in the
stock Of the Central has always been
purely monetary, absolute control Of the
stock having been vested in outside par
ties. Nevertheless there has been a lot Of
fault found In the South with the South
ern's interest In the competing line. and
the present agitation against railroads has
not tended to improve the situation.
While no statement was made by the
Southern Railway in regard 10 its reasons
for desiring to liquidate the stock. it is
not unlikely that one Of its purposes was
to avoid agitation on the part OF the State
or Federal authorities in regard TO the re-
lations between the roads. The Southern
has always maintained that It exercised
no control whatever in the management
Of the Central.

The stock came into the hands OF the
Richmond Terminal in the early sos,
after the Georgia Central and Banking
