Will Be No Fox Chase.

A model building for the display of
the resources of the State will he erect
ed at the fair grounds shortly: At a
recent meeting of the committee it
was decided to advertise for bids for
this building, which will be by far the
handsomest on the grounds. The gen.
eral assembly has made an appropria-
ton for part of this work and the
society will pay the balance. The
building will be so by 100 feet inside
and the plans selected will call for a
handsome exterior as we'll as finish
ed interior.
1t has been decided to make this dis
play of the State resources a very
handsome one. The exhibit at the
Jamestown exposition, which won so
many of the prizes and was decidedly
one of the handsomest ever displayed
from Southern State, will be moved
from the old State dispensary building,
where it is now stored, and placed in
the new building as soon as the latter
is completed. The State department
oflagriculture, commerce and immigra-
ton and the department of State
geology will also be called upon for
contributions in addition to those now
in the main building and when COM
plete the collection will be one OF the
finest in the South.
The value of this exhibit can not be
too strongly emphasized, as men,
Der of the State fair society expressed
it yesterday. 1t means that there
will be on hand all the time perma-
nent display of the States resources
and visitors to the city, not only dur
ing the fair, but at all times OF the
year, especially during the tourist
season, when the Colonia is open, can
be shown exactly what this State pro-
duces.
It was also decided at the meeting
of the committee to do away with the
annual fox chase.-State, July 3.

curly haired men when it comes t.
choosing a jury When asked to ex
plain the objection to curly haired men
a prominent lawyer said:
when / was just starting life my
legal mentor inculcated that idea very
forcibly into me. He said that curly
haired men almost invariably had been
the pampercd darlings OF their parents
and in their youth had been so &C
customed to having their own way
that they had grown mp in the belize
that everybody on earth was wrong
except themselves. In this way the
seeds of opposition were sown, and
as men they made it Il point to dis
agree with everybody and everything
If every other man on jury voted one
way they would vote the other. They
usually are as stubborn as the day i.
long; hence a curly haired man never
goes on jury if I can prevent it,
