Negro Exhibit


The wealth of exhibits shown in the
negro building at the Marion County
Fair are indeed instructive and in.
spring. We feel that the thrifty and
intelligent negroes of Marion county
are making great progress and there
is no better index of this fact than
the annual exhibits they make at the
County Fair.
We do not believe the exhibits in
the building referred to can be ex
celled by the colored people of any
section of our country. AS one en-.
tiers the door there may be seen ex
hibits from the rural schools OF
Marion county. These consists Of
cooking, sewing, shuck Gaming and
shuck mats, etc. They were gathered
by the Jeannes Fund teacher. They
show the possibilities of the rural
colored population when properly di
rected. Next we notice a very large
exhibit of preserves, canned fruits
and vegetables. Then came the Fes
sender Academy exhibits which fill
half the building. These show finish
ed work that carpenters, blacIsmiths
seamstresses and cooks recognize as
the standard Of perfection along many
lires. The two cases used to display
the cooking are filled with viands as
choice in appearance as the eye may
rest upon. The brown colors, beauti.
full shapes, artistic decorations, taste
OF selection and range of cooking
ideas are indeed striking.
Every article called for in the prize
list has been prepared with care. The
ribbon cake, fruit cakes, decorated
cakes, baked hams. fruit salads, cand-
les breads, pies, baked fowls and 9TH
er things call forth the most favorable
comments from all who see them.
The Fessenden Academy also has
many educational exhibits such as
erayon work, paper folding, paper
cutting. hand painting, and a set of
splendid academic papers well writ
ten and with well chosen subjects.
This Institutions sewing exhibit is
elaborate and covers from plain sew
Ing to the most difficult fancy work
which taxes the patience and brain
OF the creators. Shawls, slippers,

despised.
There are many samples of honey

been pushed in this county for what
it is worth, but there is a ready sale

notice.
We saw cotton on the stalk, and in
bales. This is the chief southern sta

is no experiment. For years and
years it was the farmers chief de-
pendence. Since that time it has
passed through a complete evolution

The Aeroplane Flight

The aeroplane fight yesterday aft
ernoon was a beautiful one, and was
probably the most thoroughly enjoy
ed and appreciated of any of the many
fair attractions. 1t was the first time
that many of the visitors had ever
witnessed an exhibition of this kind
and the sight of the bird-man flying
around with such perfect ease and
freedom was a wonderful one.
Good music is furnished every aft
ernoon by the Imperial Italian band.

tournament. 1t is To be regretted
that more entries were not made IN
this event, as it is a graceful, exciting
and entertaining tilt. The four en-
tries were Mr.. w. c. Smoak, Knight

as well with their lances as they did
in practicing. Mr.. Pyles was the
winner, capturing five rings out Of
the nine. Mr.. Chambers was second
in this contest.
Misses Gladys Drake and BERTHE

|. & n. STEAMER
WILL BE LOADED
THE E. o. sALTMARsH, WHICH
HAS BEEN IN PORT FOR SOME
WEEKS, WAS BERTHED TO
TAKE CARGO OF TOBACCO AND
IRON. a

After remaining at anchorage in the
stream for more than a month, the
British steamship E. o. Saltmarsh was
yesterday hauled up and locked IN
the Louisville & Nashville slip, where,
beginning possibly this morning, q
large and valuable cargo will be
loaded. Much reticence is being main
tanned as to the steamers cargo, but
it was stated unofficially yesterday
that tobacco and pig iron would be
two of the most principal and valuable
items to Be loaded at this time.
The steamer VIII fiji out for English
ports, and at this time, it was stated,
will hardly take any cotton, although
present plans may be changed some
what. Tobacco handlers, however, will
be employed this week, and it will
mean quite a lift to them, pending
the arrival Of steamers for cotton and
timber.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed by waterfront people yesterday
when they saw the big steamer being
hauled up to the assigned berth, for it
is believed that, Immediately upon ar
rival the other railroad company
steamer, the August Belmont, will
start loading, and may take out TIE
first full cargo of cotton for the pres
ent season.

NUMBER OF FIRES IN ALL
PARTS OF THE CITY.

Cold weather Of yesterday still
brought out an accompanying num-
Der of fires, and the department ex-
pected at all hours to be summoned to
scenes of trouble during the day. hence
when calls were turned in the depart
nent was in such state of usual
preparedness that the fires were soon
reached and extinguished. Possibly
the most serious fire of the morning
occurred on West Wright street,
caused from the explosion Of a lamp.
The police record showed the fol-
lowing:
At 11:47 a. m, at SO South Palafox
street, the place occupied by Fritz
Peterson was found full Of smoke, but
there was no damage to speak Of, the
small fire being extinguished with

was extinguished considerable damage
resulted. The interior Of the place
alone was damaged.

The Rat-Catching Should
Be Continued.

The Journal regrets that the city
commissioners have decided to discon-

rat-catching will probably stop. But
it should not stop.

getting rid of the bubonic plague.
Some time ago it was announced that
the last case Of human plague at New

News From the Front

The American Lumberman publishes
a unique war bulletin on the News
from the Front-of Our Own Country .
which reads as follows:
II you'd like to know what the Ger
mans are doing, If you'd like to know
what the English are at, to know
what the Russians just now are pur-
suing, to know what the F'renchmen
are at, and all that-we gladly will
tell you; twill make you feel better
to know what the French and the
Dutch are about. Wen give you some
news not by cable or letter that really
should make an American shout.
The Germans are fixing their barns
and their fences (the Iowa Germans.
Wisconsin and such;) the English (the
ones in Americas census) are busy
and prosperous just like the Dutch;
the Russians (the Russians who lately
came over) are placing the ties and
are laying the steel: the French (the
American Frepch) are In clover, and
some Of them ride in an automobile.
For these are the F'renchmen. the
English and Russians, for these are the
BeIgians Austrians. too-yes, these are
the people, along with the Prussians,
who really are mostly important to
you. If English and German and
Austrian neighbors keep busy, these
rurnors of battles amid, II the Russians
and Frenchmen keep on with their
labors, perhaps 'twould be well IL
Americans did.
Very good indeed. This is better
news than anything that is coming

He says:
Commissioner Kracke and his en-
gineers deserve great credit for their
ingenuity OF method In strengthening
the Williamsburg Bridge without any
appreciable disturbance OF the traffic
thereon. Tho proposition Is Of special
importance to the people Of Manhattan
and Brooklyn inasmuch as the bulk Of
travel between these boroughs has
shifted during the past two years from
the Brooklyn Bridge to the Williams
burg Bridge.
I'm 1919 the Brooklyn Bridge carried
more than So per cent. of the total traf-
fic to and from New York, while the
Williamsburg Bridge carried approx
mately SO per cent. Last year the for
mer carried about II per cent. of the
traffic and the latter AZ per cent. In
view of these statistics and the coming
subway operation across the bridge the
necessity for strengthening tho Will
iamsburg Bridge is apparent.
"It IL tho first time In the history Of
engineering. according to the authors
ties, that so vital a structural change
has been effected on standing bridge
actually in use. The character Of the
work, its scientific planning and execu-
ton. the systematic care and foresight
exercised and the remarkable speed of ac-
complishment reflect great credit on the
engineers Of the Bridge Department"
