FOR SERIES OF
 SPECIAL DAYS Jamestown Agent Goes
 to 0pelika. WEEK FOR ALABAMA CITIES Assurances That Special Rates Will Bs Given By Railroads. NJ. c. Mckay Taiks Interertingiy of Alabama Day, Montgomery Day and Present status of
 Exposition.

Max c. Mckay the special commits sioner of the Jamestown Exposition, who had been in Montgomery for two or three days interviewing Governor Conner, Mayer Teague and other off, cials regarding Alabama Day and Montgomery Day at the big fair, went to Opelika yesterday to work up in- terest in an "Opelika Day" to be had in connection with the other days in which Alabama people will be inter- ested.
 It is proposed. MT. Mckay explained before his departure, to have Alabama Day come during the same week with the days set apart for three Alabama cities-Montgomery, Selma and opeli- ka The dates for these days have not been definitely set. but will be some time the latter part of October. and probably the last week of that month.
 Assurances have been received by MT. Mckay that the Seaboard Air Line, at least, and possibly other railroads, will grant special rates for the occasion of this series of special days. An effort Is being made to secure as low q rate as s15.65 for the round trip. Definite announcement in regard to rates will be announced later by Commercial Agent Ketner of that road.
 "The program for Montgomery Day, as we'll as the other special days" said Mir. Mckay. has not yet been definitely fixed, but will be in the course of a day or two. The city council will at- tend to that, as we'll as other features of the matter.
 Governor Conner told me that, owing to the approaching extra session of the legislature, he would not be able to be in Jamestown on the occasion of the Alabama Day, much to his regret. He expected, however, official Alabama to be represented in the person of Lieu tenant Governor Henry B. Gray, at the head of 6 delegation of distinguished Afabamians.
 q am expecting that Mayor Teague of Montgomery will be present in per- son, as we'll as several members of the city, council, and other officials and many prominent citizens. There will undoubtedly be many persons from Selma and C.pelika, as well as from other sections Of the State. during the week of special days.
 "On the occasion of these special days the Exposition management will furnish the auditorium for the formal exercises of the day, where the big party of Alabama people may meet for their program, as well as for their in- formal greetings. A special band will be provided, and everything will be made as convenient for the Alabama , people present as possible.
 'T am eonndent,'' continued Mir. Mc- Kay speaking of the Exposition as 3 whole. that never before in the his- tory of American Propositions has has there been one with Ho many attractive features as the Jamestown Tercentennla1, which Is now complete in all of it's details, presenting to the visitor a veripable dreamlano The immense exhibit palaces, State and government buildings, all of perman- ent or semi-permanent construction. set off with the most luxuriant trees and foliage, give to the Exposition an appearance distinct from all of its pre- decessors.
 ''The exhibits at the Jamestown Ex- position are the most selective ever as- sembled,and the newest and the best in the various lines of industry, stand open to the scrutiny of mankind. There are exhibits from the smallest piece of watch mechanism to the largest loco motives in the world, in the strange things, the curious things and the bean tifuI things of manufacture. commerce, agriculture or what not. There are wonderful scientific and educational ex- htbits of divers kind and thousands or
