can be done by united effort on the
part of the towns business men.
The Advance is going to show what
has been done and what may yet be
done, and it is hoped that the special
edition to be issued soon will serve to
waken the people at home and
abroad to the opportunities awaiting
further development here, This edi-
ton is large undertaking, but if
widely circulated it is believed that
it will accomplish something for the
town.

Now that the jamestown Ter-Cen-
tenniaI Exposition has closed, all eyes
are turned toward the next great
worlds fair, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc
Erposition which will be held at Seat
tie, washington, opening June 1, and
closing October Is, 1909.
This exposition will be held In a
section of the country where worlds
fairs are new and for that and many
other reasons it is expected to be a
success. benefcially, educationally, ar
tistically and financially.
Work on the grounds and buildings
of the exposition is well under way
and the management is determined to
have everything in readiness by open.
ing day. This has been written about
all expositions in late years, but the
lpromise has never been cvnIpierely full
filed. The officials of the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacifc Exposition, however, have
started out with a completed-on-on-
,opening-day idea above everything
else, and If they do not carry out
their plan it will not be because wes-
tern energy has not been expended in
the task.
The Alaska Yukon-Pacifc Exposition
promises to be different from former
worlds fairs in many ways, but one
policy stands out so far above any OF
the rest that the entire press Of the
country is commenting favorably
about it. No money will be asked from
Uncle Sam to carry on the work! That
policy must be conceded as original.
All the management desires is for
the United government to participate
in the same manner as foreign coun-
tries and the different states, by erect
ing buildings and installing exhibits
therein. Former expositions have
been aided by the government in many
different ways. Outright gifts of large
sums of money have been made by
Congress to some worlds fairs, Will
iothers have negotiated loans from
Uncle Sam, some of which were paid
back and some of which were not

money has been spent west OF the
Rocky mountains, the Lewis and Clark
exposition, one Of the most successful
ever held, receiving the benefit OF that
amount.
The bill that has been introduced
at the present session OF Congress
provides an appropriation Of $1,175.OOO
to enable Uncle Sam to take advan-
tage Of the opportunity for effective
advertising. The money will be ap-
portioned as follows:
Government, building, 100000; ex-
hibit. $4,000. Alaska, building. $780,
600; exhibit. 100000. Philippines,

The fisheries exhibit is included

On June 1, last before a crowd OF
fifteen thousand persons, ground
breaking ceremonies were held, with
many prominent men making address
es, among whom was Hon. John Bar
rett, director Of the International Bur
eau of American Republics, represent
ing President Roosevelt. From that
date to the present time work has
been going on rapidly upon the expo
sition grounds Most Of the grading
and clearing has been finished. All
of the principal roadways, avenues.
circles and plazas have been complet-
ed. The Administration Building has
been erected and occupied by the exec
utive force for several months. Con-
tracts have been let for the construc-
ton of five learge buildings and sew
eral small ones. Among these are
the Manufacturers bldg, Agriculture
building. Auditorium, Palace Of Fine
Arts and Machinery Hall. The three
latter buildings will be permanent
structures, built OF bun brick with
terra Gotta trimmings. The "A-Y-T,"
as it is sometimes called in Seattle,
will differ again from some former
fairs in that some of its exhibit pala'
ces will be permanent structures. The
grounds are located on the property
of the Washington University, a state
i. lie
over the permanent buildings and
those substantially built will be taken
over by the college to be used for ed
ucational purposes.
The purpose of the exposition, which
is to exploit Alaska and Yukon and
J the countries bordering on the Pacific
: Ocean, is receiving much Favorable
; comment throughout the country.

HANG THEM.

Salisbury, N. c., Jan. 24-Charged
with trespass, SANDER and a serious
offence against two Colored women in
this city, H. R Bryant and A. Dun
ham, two wellknown young men here,
were lodged in Rowan jail last night
In default OF bond Of $1,000 each.
The two men were caught In their
rooms at a velLknown boarding house
in Salisbury, with the two Colored wo-
men, whom they had enticed there
without the knowledge Of the land
lord. They were given a hearing be-
fore a justice Of the peace, who held
them under heavy bonds for the high

piano salesman, and has stood well
in Salisbury prior to this trouble, Dun
ham is agent for an Industrial life
insurance company, and was much
liked by those who knew him. The
arrest Of the men caused a mild sen.
sation for a day.
Now, here are two white men guilty
of social equality. We turn them over
to the tender mercies Of Judge Nor
wood Of Georgia, and ask that in &C
cordance with his request that these
two white men be hung ror miscegen

tion would be porduced, II all the
guilty white men in North Carolina
