COM. BLAKESLEE
BACK FROM CALIFOR-
MA EXPOSITION
And Tells of Panama Paci :
fic Exposition and Prepa-
rations - Says Buildings
Are so P. G. Completed.

The incalculable advantages that will
accrue to Mississippi, generally speak
ing, by having Mississippi building
and extensive exhibit at the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco
next year, is beginning to be more fIl-
~ realized than ever before, and they
are referred to by Commissioner Of
Agriculture H. E. Blakeslee, who has
just returned from the western metro
polls, where he went to accept the site
for the Mississippi building. He tells
of the plans for the exposition, of the
part Mississippi will play in the big
event, and the loyal support that should
be given the movement to raise funds
for the Mississippi exhibit, saying:
'A visit to the Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition being built at San
Francisco will convince the most skep-
tical that it is to be the greatest of
them all. Tine buildings are eighty per
cent completed, and in size, design and
color scheme wondrous to behold. The
people of California are unanimously
enthusiastic and determined to make OF
the exposition all that could possibly
be desired, to both the exhibitor and
visitor.
elaborate ceremonies marked the
dedication of Mississippi's building
site, and work on same will be promptly
begun, sufficient to insure completion
at least thirty days before the opening
of the gates. The design selected will
be in thorough keeping with the impor-
tance of the State, and will be a source
of satisfaction to visitors from home
and the admiration of those from other
sections.
"This excellent repres entation places
Mississippi well in the forefront Of the
progressive States, and affords our peo-
pie an opportunity of placing before the
millions who will attend, a fair, COM
prehensive showing of our unexcelled
resources and splendid development.
Practically every section Of the State
will be represented, as the result Of a
liberal and enthusiastic support given
the enterprise by individuals, munich
palities and counties.
"The commission authorized by the
legislature entered upon the task of
raising funds and making the exhibit,
considered by many as hopeless, with a
determination to succeed, and to the
enthusiastic, energetic, loyal and pro-
gressiye citizens Of the State who have
made successes possible, extends sim
cere appreciation Of their ready and lib
eral assistance.
Mississippi as whole will undoubt-
edly derive splendid results from the
showing made, and more particularly
the sections that have SO promptly come
forward and contributed to the success
of the undertaking. The word "fail''
has been erased from the list of those
in the forefront Of the, campaign &C
make of Mississippi the most prosper
Gus and happy State in the Union, and
the success of this particular enter
prise is only another evidence of that
fact"

YAzOO MAN GIVES
A VERY EXPENSIVE
TIP TO PORTER
J. W. Bertrand, Travelling
Salesman, Fined $50. For
Tipping Porter at Jackson.

Tipping is becoming very dangerous
practice in Mississippi, as evidenced by
thd following press special from Jack
son. a few days since:
Maximum fine, $50, for violating the
anti-tipping law of Mississippi. We're
assessed against J. W. Bertrand, of va
zoo City, travelling represen tative of the
Maley Lumber Company, of that place,
and walter Chapman, negro Pullman
car porter, by Justice of the Peace
Spraggins. Sheriff Middleton, who
made the arrest at the union depot here
Monday, requested Justice Spraggins
to impose the maximum penalty. Tack
ed on the $50 was the sum of $500 costs,
so both the travelling man and the por-
ter are exactly out of 5000 each be-
cause Mr.. Bertrand gave Chapman %
cents as tip when he left the train
Monday morning.
Sheriff Middleton was at the depot
and saw the transaction. He says he
heard the negro tell Mr.. Bertrand that
he was afraid to take the tip, as it was
against the law and he might get into
trouble, but he suggested the coin
might be dropped by the salesman. Mr..
Bertrand, according to the sheriff, drop
ped the coin, and the porter put one OF
his feet over it. Before he could stoop
to get it, however, he was arrested by
| Sheriff Middleton.
| Mr.. Bertrand was accompanied on
the trip to Jackson by his wife and
children, SO was released on his Own
recogizanee, to appear here this mora
ing for trial. He today telephoned the
sheriff he preferred not to come but
would send certified check for what
ever fine was assessed against him
wnen Chapman was fined he pulled the
required amount from his pocket and
paid it over without a murmur.
While several persons have been
fined smaller sums for violating the
anti tipping law this is the first in
stance of the maximum penalty being
assessed. In this connection Sheriff
Middleton says he is daily receiving
letters from members of the Mississippi
Travellers Association requesting him
to enforce the law, which Is considered
ssdead letter. up to few month ago
Now the sheriff says he is going to en-
force it without fear or favor, anc
hereafter no one can say truthfully
ne has been derelict in his duty as
regards this statute.
