was held in the Twelfth Regiment
armory at New York, in celebration OF
the fiftieth anniversary of the emanci'
patton of the Negro race and the prog.
ress made by the race since emancipa'
ton.
Hundreds of wealthy Negroes and
whites all over the United States con-
t-ibuted financially toward the EXPOSE
ton. The legislature Of New York
state appropriated $4,000 for the pro-
ject, but that was not nearly sufficient.
The difference was made up by those
interested in the welfare of the Negro
race. One wealthy Negro, owner OF
thirteen plantations in the south, and
said to be worth close to million dol
lars, gave a large sum.
Delegations were present from
Santo Domingo, Hayti and Liberia, the
Negro republics. Hayti's delegation
received especial attention from the
American Negroes because Of the fact
that Hayti's first president was Ne
gro slave
The exposition lasted four days. A
series Of pageants showing the prog
ress of the race was held. The first
of these showed the Negroes in Africa
a thousand years ago, teaching other
natives OF that country, not Negroes,
how to weld iron. The second pageant
showed Negroes In the Valley OF the
Nile and their first meeting with the
Egyptians. The third pageant was en-
titled The Rise of Ambition" and
showed the race under Mohammedan
rule. Then followed the slave trade
In Africa and the bringing OF slaves
to America Struggles of the race In
the south were shown, and then the
fight for freedom that followed, Fred
erick Douglass working with other Ne
groes, and white men like John Brown
and William Lloyd Garrison. The final
tableau showed THE Hope and En-
enlargement for the Future OF the
Negroe Race"

indeed
OF course, John NJ. Slaton is an Eek
after fashion-but his rs days OF
'acting" governor will not serve to put
him into the ranks of the real "eXes,
particularly as he has plenty of time
before him in which he may arrive
eventually.
Neither The Griffin News nor The
Savannah Press thinks the state capito
ever will be moved to Macon-that is
neither thinks it to hurt, if at all.
Commenting upon the suggestion, The
Griffin News says:
Macon has about given up hope
of getting the state capitol moved
from Atlanta down there, and is
now engaged in an effort to swipe
the general offices of the Central
of Georgia railway from Savannah.
The Press believes that one is about
as big a chimerical scheme as the
other, and predicts that both will
have an easy death.
Atlanta never has worried particu-
larry over the suggestion that the state
capitol be moved to Macon-not that
Macon isn't a fine and dandy town
moreover.
1t merely is that Georgia Is satisfied
to have its capitol in Atlanta, and never
will agree to move it elsewhere.
Thomas j. Shackleford, of Athens,
attended the meeting of the University
of Georgia trustees in Atlanta Thurs
day.
Mr.. Shackleford is an active candi-
date for appointment under President
Woodrow Wilson to the United States
district attorneyship Of north Georgia
and has stout hearted and influential
lineup of friends behind him
1t has been understood generally that
Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb county,
was slated for this particular plum, but
Mr.. Shackleford evidently believes the
other man by no means has it nailed
down yet.
Anyway, Shackleford is a mighty
popular man in northeast Georgia, and
is not one to waste his strength and
speed on a cold trail, moreover He
believes the attorneyship still is very
much an open question, and the in
dorsements he already has for the place
are significant and highly impressive.
1t generally is accepted as a fact
nowadays that Georgia is not to have a
cabinet place under the Wilson admin
istration.
There has been mention of Georglans
here and there. but those who could
have one of the plums would not en-
courage the idea. and those who could
not, have not, of course, been suffi-
ctently urged.
While the president elect has been
enacting the role of suggestee, and not
suggestor. In the matter Of cabinet
making, there are some apparent facts
established-and one of them Is that
Georgia is not to figure in the cabinet
1t is said, however, that Georgia is to
be awarded some other particularly
engaging plums high up near the top
of the plum tree-and it may be that
that accounts for the other thing.
