JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
NOTES

w - 1--5
An increased force of workmen has
been brought into service on the $4,000
building, so as to insure its readiness
next month. Boiling & Everett, the con-
tractors, are reliable business men, and
will deliver the goods"
Requests for concessions are con-
stantly coming in, and contracts will be
entered into at an early date.
The press Of the country is practically
a unit for the exhibit, and public senti-
ment fully justifes the policy of placing
our exhibits in a separate building-not
to Jim crow" the race, but to make
sure that we get the credit due for our
skill and artistic genius.
Mr. R. w. Thompson, special agent,
detailed from the War Department, at
Jeffersonville, Ind, has reached the city.
Mr. T. J. Galloway chairman of the
Executive Committee, IS off on South
ern tour in the interest of the exhibit,
his itinerary to include Nashville, At
lanta. Richmond and possibly other prin-
cipal points.
The field agents are ]. NJ. May, A. L.
Macbeth, c. H. Johnson, F. D. Lee,
w. E. Hope, c. H. Williamson, D. N. E.
Campbell, w. w. Fisher, J. H. Porter
and Robert KeIser. They are all hard
at work in their districts and are send
ing in very encouraging reports.
The group of models, showing in tab
leau form the development of the Negro
in the arts of civilization from the land
ing at Jamestown to the present day,
will be one Of the most attractive and
significant features of the exhibit Miss
Meta Vaux Warrick, the accomplished
Philadelphia sculptor, has taken the mat
ter in hand, and her reputation as an
artist assures us Of a piece of high
grade work. This exhibit will be over
two hundred feet long, and will be il
Illuminated by electric lights, setting it
off to marked advantage.
Set this down in large letters: The
Negro Exhibit is to be and it is to be
a success.
The Advance providence, R. l. and
The Freeman (Indianapolis) are out in
strong editorial endorsements of the ex-
hibit. New England and the Middle
West are vieing with each other in sup
port of the races great enterprise.
The Negro Exhibit will occupy six
acres of the Exposition Grounds.
Note this: The Executive Committee
will reimburse all freight payments on
exhibits from schools, churches, and 9TH
er charitable institutions, provided the
freight receipts and bills of lading are
carefully retained and forwarded. 9th

TUSKEGEE ALL RIGHT.
RooSeveIt Expenses Only Criticism for
Management of TRSkegee.

Montgomery, Ala, Mar. Io.-The fact
that Booker T. Washington spent $4,000
for the entertainment for President
Roosevelt last summer seems the only
thing to criticise as result of the ex-
animation of Tuskegee Institute made at
the request of the legislature. This is a
matter about which there seems really
no complaint, save it is thought by some
that the amount was rather high.
The report of the investigation is said
to be much to the credit of Mr.. Wash
ington. He is said to have made good
use of the money that has come into his
hands and to have got the best results
from its use The bookkeeping is praised
and the accounts reported to be simple
and accurate. The report has not yet
been made public.
The legislature has a bill in committee
that seems hardly likely to get out as
the body has adjourned to the middle of
July. 1t seeks to deprive the institute
of the exemption from taxes that other
schools enjoy, Some good men of the
State, among them Capt. F. S. White,
friend and legal adviser of the governor,
have fought the bill long and hard, and
it is though that it has been laid away
for good.

TRUE REFORMERS MEET.

TRUE REFORMERS MEET.
There was a largely attended mass
meeting under the auspices Of section
No. ?, U. o. T. R., of the District of
Columbia, at Mount Airy Baptist Church
on L street, between North Capitol and
Ist streets, n. W., last Monday night.
The following fountains were repre-
sented: House of David, Golden Rod,
Ark, Galbraith, Rehoboth, Capitol City,
Trinity, Morgan, Spring Green and
Christian Endeavor. The committee Of
arrangements consisted of Miss Y. R
Edwards, chairman; William Cooper
and NJ. NJ. Peace.
After the preliminary devotional ex-
ercises Rev. DR.. Tyler, pastor of the
church, preached to the reformers and
the others who composed the audience.
w. R. Griffin, chief of the Washington
Division of the organization, delivered
a brief address, in which he paid tribute
to the aged members of the organiza-
ton who, he said, had struggled, in the
face of opposition and discouragements,
to demonstrate to the business world the
real power of union.
''They sacrificed themselves" he de-
clared, "for what the $1,000 members
now enjoy. Our white friends will think
more of us when we prove to them our
real worth to ourselves Our future in
this country depends upon our union OF
thought, union of brains, union of FIN

COUNT
INVESTS HERE
W. {. RawllnSOn sells Ills Fine
Place Near AnkOna
CONSIDERATION $4,000
Purchased by Count Malabri, Of Paris,
France Andrews Sells 10 French
men for $4,000.

Another important land deal that
argues we'll for the future of Fort
Pierce was consummated the past week
when Count Malabri, of Paris, France,
through L. P. Barranger, his represen-
tative, purchased the large and fine
property belonging to W. c. Rawlin-
son, at Ankona, the consideration being
$l8, 900,
This property consists of 100 acres,
IS of which Is fine land, and about 80
acres are planted in pineapples, oranges
and grapefruit, and has nine buildings,
one of which, the residence, cost about
SIS, 900 two or three years ago.
Count Malabri is very wealthy
Frenchman, a descendant of the old
royal family of France. He expects to
arrive in Fort Pierce about the middle
Of February, and, it is reported, will
make several additional purchases. 1t
cannot be learned whether he expects
to become a permanent resident here
or not, but it is quite probable that he
will. He is man of great influence in
France, and it may be possible that he
is interesting himself in securing new
home for some of his countrymen who
are suffering religious persecution in
the old country.
Mr.. Rawlinson will not leave ST..
Lucie county. For the present he has
been engaged as superintendent of the
property, and does not contemplate a
a change of residence.
Mr.. Barranger has secured options
on some of the most valuable proper ty
along the river front for the benefit Of
his countrymen, and the record of ad-
ditional purchases may be made at any
time. Just as we go to press we learn
that Mr.. Barranger has closed deal
with James E Andrews for the pur-
chase of his property south of town,
the consideration being $4,000. This
too is most valuable piece of property
containing nearly rs acres, and most
of the tract is in bearing pineapples.
This property almost adjoins the place
recently bought by Mr.. Barranger, and
it is evident that the people whom he is
representing are coming here to locate,
and are securing most valuable property.
Such extensive purchases near our
town cannot help but be very benehc-
ial to the growth Of Fort Pierce, as it
is evident that they intend to further
improve the property and occupy it.

completed some little time ago as fan
south as ST. Augustine.
Some rock has been spread at other
points, but it was not until this week
that any work has been done on the
southern end Of the line. A section
gang is now at work just north of
Miami spreading the rock, and the an
nouncement Is made that large force
will be engaged from now on working
north from this point.
The cause for the shifting Of opera
tons is assigned to the fact that the
hauling of heavy rock trains during the
winter season seriously hampered the
passenger and freight trains. The rock
is mined and crushed at Rockdale, south
of Miami, and then brought up by train
to the places of operations. BY work
ing from Miami during the winter the
long haul and interruption of passenger
and freight train traffic is prevented,
but as soon as the winter schedule has
been abandoned the work on the other
end of the line will be resumed.
Thousands of cars of crushed rock
have already been mined, hauled and
placed on the track, though it is said
that the task is yet in its infancy, and
that it will still take countless thou
sands of cars of the material to CON-
plete the ballasting of the 1865 miles of
track from Jacksonville to Miami. A
year or more will be consumed in the
work, but when completed the Florida
East Coast Railway will not only be
the only rock ballasted railroad in
Florida, but one Of the best in the
South.
The Dade county rock Is said to be
especially adapted to ballasting, as IT
soon settles firmly about the ties and
rails and makes them the same as If i'm
bedded in solid rock. The expense at
tached to this work will also be some
thing enormous as large force of
laborers are kept constantly at the
quarry, the hauling is done by special
trains, and the spreading and packing
by a special crew Of men. Miami Me-

Sunday evening it was decided to
change the hour of meeting of the
Baptist Sunday School from 10 a. m. to
2:3O p. m. For some time the sub
ject of this change has been under con-
sideration by numerous members and
others who were not able to attend the
morning school and at the suggestion
of some of the members who could not
attend the morning school, the church
decided to give it a trial. Everybody
in Fort Pierce and the surrounding
country who feel inclined to spend a
profitable hour are invited to attend.

FORMER TOWNSMAN
WINS FAIR BRIDE

The following from the Buckhannon
wv. Val Delta, will doubtless be of
interest to many of our readers:
On the evening of Jan. 2, at half past
eight o'clock, Miss Mabel Stuart, the
beautiful younger daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. Jerome w. Stuart, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Marion Melnott tie
Hendrix, late of Fort Pierce, Florida.
The ceremony was performed at the
Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev.
Geo. w. Pollock. The church was COM
fortably filed with friends of the young
couple, and the building was beautifully
decorated with flowers and ferns.
The bride wore beautiful dress of
Renaissance lace with tulle veil caught
up with orange blossoms and ostrich
feathers. She carried shower bouquet
of lilies of the valley and hyacinths.
The bridesmaids and maid of honor
wore dresses of white crepe de chine
and carried American Beauty roses.
After the ceremony the company
went at once to the new home of the
brides parents on Kanawha street,
where reception was held. A large
number of invited guests were in at
tendance. Detachable refreshments
were served to the guests during the
evening, and several of the towns best
musicians furnished solos. Altogether
it was the largest social function of the
year, as we'll as one of the most enjoy
able. The bride is very pretty and
popular girl, and her many friends at
tended en- masse. She was recipient
of large number of beautiful and
costly presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Hendrix
have taken rooms in the Tenney-Alkire
building on Chancery street, where
they will soon be at home to their many
friends.
