KIM TO OPEN Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Throws Open Its Gates June 1st. President Taft Presses s Button Which Starts the'Exposition Seattle, Wash., Special. On June 1st, with a blare of trumpets and booming of guns and such a fanfare of noise and gayety as no Pacific coast city has ever known before, the gates of the Alasko-Yukon-Pacific Exposition will be thrown .open to the public. Although there remain a few finishing touches to be added, the greatest of far Western expositions it practically ready for President latt to press the golden key that will ilash across the continent the silt: nl lor the opening of five big show. With aU the myriad wheels running smoothly, the managers are heaving i great sigh of relief at having done what has never been accomplished be fore the completion, of an interna tional exposition before the date set for the opening. It has been remarked Tint all ex positions since the great Paris end Chicago shows have merely d.:ie over again what had been do: .' before The -Alaska-Yukon-Paeifie Kxp-'sition at Seattle is going 'to be l,:l'.ivnt. It is not going ito be an exliihii of the known, but of the unknown. Those who planned this year's show assumed nothing less than the task of introducing that half of the woilj which, is developed almost to the ultimate to that other half which by comparison is not developed at all and which for centuries to come must be the field of the world's greatest work. Seattle's exposition will bring together tie Occident , and the Ori ent and fetch Alaska' from the noi'ih to know them both. It will ascn:ble the islands and peoples of the south seas, so that Aagal may look at Si wash and the world know each as he is.

New Orleans. May 21, 1909. Generai u lers No 13 1. The general commanding lias pleasure in expressing ihe satisfac tion he feels in announcing officially that the name of Jefferson Pavis has been restored to the tablet on "Cabin John bridge." As Secretary of War of the Uni'ed States he had been largely instrumental constructing this aqueduct, and to this fact his name, with thers, h?'1 been plac ed on the tab.; but t! .i.ITg the War Between th. States partisans caured it to be chiselled off. Mr. Davis be ing at that time the Pre hieut of the Confederate States. L.. this restora tion an act of justice has been done to one of America's greatest stales men. The fact is in itself trival, but it is momentous in significance. It SOUTHERN Cf rGS TO New York, SpseLi. The Genera Education Board Thursday announce c-d a number of Expropriations, among them several cf $200,000 or more. In J907 John D. Rockefeller gave the General Education Board an endow ment of $32,000,000 tobe used for the purposes of the board.

The com mission of Judge Connor, signed by the President, arrived Friday after noon, and he paid a short visit to the Federal Building after its arrival. It is understood that he will take the oath of office Tuesday morning be fore United States Commissioner John Nichols. His resignation was tendered and took effect on May 31st, and his term began on Tuesday. There GREAT FAR on peoples ana scenes ot his own country that he knows not. This is the fundamental difference between the Alska-Yukon-Pacific show and its predecessors. But there are others, ihe exposition will ba ready to open on time. It was 95 per cent, completed three months before the opening date, and it did not have the financial aid of the United States government. Equally surprising is the fact that the hotel keepers of the exposition city have made an iron clad agreement not to raise their rates. The railroads expect to carry 2, 000,000 people to Seattle this summer. They will see the most novel and what Charles Dana Gibson lias pro nounced to be the most beautiful ex position ever planned . The manner in which irt only the Pacific coast States, but all coutries and communities, have prepared for representation at Seattle indicates that the world places a high value on this opportuity to see and be seen in that quarter of the universe where wealth and development will make their gi rat est strides in the next few decades. The nationl government gave no financial support to the exposition, but it has spent a million on its build ings and exhibits. One hundred thous and of this sum was alloted to the Alaska exhibit. The Alaskans them selves promptly doubled this sum in order that the territory's timber, its geld, copper, fisheires and agriculture might have a chance to convince the world that Alaska is not mi icebox, but a treasure chest. Japan, whose peerple have had a little trouble in Washington, is preparing to exhibit on a scale far greater than anything attempted at other expositions. TO CABIN JOHN BRIDGE emphasizes the truth that our coun trymen will recognize worth; that Mr. Davis, who was thoroughly Southern in his sentiments, can be truly valued by those who were once his enemies, and that he was actuated by lofty motives and conceptions of duty, as were other statesmen and soldiers of the Confederacy. II. It is possible that this desrable result would never have been reach ed had not our glorious women taken the matter in hand an pushed it to completion. The Confederace South ern Memorial Association started the work in 1907. and Mrs. J. Enders Robinson, of Richmond, and Mrs. W. J. Behan, of New Orleans, assisted by the U. D. C. and kindred organ izations have the thanks of all Con federates for the accomplishment of this work. By command of Clement A. Evans, General Cornrnandinsr. Official: Wm. E. Micklo.

Show me what the just thing is and, I do not care what name you call it, I am for it. Conjurers sometimes use the name 'protection' and 'free trade' without distinct meaning. I may vote for a 10 per cent tariff on lumber in some form, and when I do, I fear I shall be immediately proscribed by such new enthusiasts as perhaps my distinguished friend from Indiana (Mr Beverdidge) as voting for a pro tective tariff." OATH OF OFFICE TUESDAY will be no change in the court offi cials, it is understood. Major Hiram L. Grant continues clerk and Mr. Tonncffski deputy clerk. The court docket is a fairly full one. There are three peonage eases, in which the charge is detaining labor, the defendants being J. H. and Asa Fussell, of Duplin county; Frank Godwin, of Sampson, and H. G. El lington, of Johnston, Cfeik notes!! The Republicans or the House Monday again took matters into their own hands, and with a sudden show of strength passed the Philippine tariff bill, the consideration of which had been concluded two -weeks ago, referred the message of the President regarding Porto Rican affairs to the committee on ways and means, and devoted some time to. a discussion of the bill amending the laws of Porto Rico, so as to divest -the. Legislature of certain authority by it. The feature . of: th ay was a speech of 'considerable lentil by Mr,. Larririaga, the'. Porto ftican cosnjiis sioner. ,vi" ':yniy. posing the bill af fecting ' ; ianu-krepresented by him, and denouncing the executive council or upper branch of the Legislature of Porto Rico. The bill was pending, when- the House adjourned until Thursday. Free lumber was handed a knock out in the Senate, Mr. McCumber's amendment to the tariff bill placing lumber, a commodity, on the free list, being defeated by a vote of 25 to 56. I lie post of minister to China was tendered to John Hays Hammond by President Taft during a conference at the White House and was definite ly declined by Mr. Hammond. Senator Frazier, of Tennessee, Tuesday received a telegram from the attorney of Luther Williams, one of the defendants in the E. D. John son lynching contempt case, sajing that he would voluntarily come to Washington to receive the sentence of the Supreme Court of the United States, and asking that no effort be made to serve the writ of arrest in Tennessee. Mr. Frazier thinks that all the defendants will pursue that course and that they will surrender themselves here, if permitted to do so. The tie-up on the Georgia Railroad because of the striking- firemen on that system adds greater concern t? officials of the postoffice Department as each day passes. The only inter est the department has in the matter is ihe prompt despatch of the mails along that line, and the inability to do so occasions considerable anxiety. Every effort is being made to prompt ly despatch the mails, when train ser vice is resumed. Reports are coming to the department from business men and others all along the Georgia Railroad, indicating that the lack of mail facilities is proving a source of great inconvenience, not to menton business loss. The confirmation of Judge Connor for the Eastern Circuit to succeed Judge Purnell in North Carolina took place Wednesday afternoon. The council of fine arts, created by President Roosevelt, and which was to have charge of the beautification of Washington, to pass upon the design? of government buildings, etc., wfcs abolished by President Taft Tuesday in an exectuive order. This action was required by the last sundry civil bill, which failed to appropriate money for expenses or salaries of any of the commissions, created by Presi dent Roosevelt without the consent of Congress. - President Taft's cabinet decided Friday that the firemen's strike on the Georgia Railroad was serious enough to demand immediate adjust ment and that Chairman Knapp, of (he Interstate Commerce Commission and Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart should go at once to Atlanta. Both left Washington Fri day night. Sugar and tobacco were disposed of by the Senate during the consid eration of the tariff schedules. The agricultural schedule also was taken up. A sharp attack by Senator Ba con, who charged the reading clerk with being in collusion with the Re publican leaders in an effort to shut off debate, and a general tariff speech by Senator Stone were features of the day's session. Saturday's news events were con fined almost entirely to the tariff. Senator Aldrich denounced as "im pertinent" what he called the effort cf the German government to in fluence American tariff legislation by eurjnlvinff annonymous informaticr as to the wages paid to German work men. Some progress was made with the tariff bill in the Senate. The dutj on barley was increased from 25 te 30 cents per bushel, and ad valorem duty of 25 per cent cu unsweetened biscuits and 50 rer cent ad valorem on sweetened biscuits and other bak er articles; an increase in the duty on hops from 12 cents per pound as pro vided by the House to 20 cents, an increase from 25 to 45 cents per bush el on potatoes; a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem on oysters in the shell, and 1 cent per pound on eels or smelts, and a reduction in the duty on olives in packages of more than five gallons each from 20 to 15 cents per gallon were the net results of the day's work. Consul General Robert J. Wynne, at London, has resigned and Consul John L. Griffiths, at Liverpool, will be nominated to succeed him. Other apointments and transfers in the consular service were announc ed Wednesday by Secretary Knox. They include the following: Charles K. Moser, Virginia, consul at Aden, Arabia. Hunter Sharp, North Carolina, from Moscow tp consul at Lyons, A TORNADO IN TEXAS i Hundreds Saved by Taking Refuge in Storm Cellars.

Two children were found dead late Sunday after noon, two miles out from the town, having been blown that distance. The storm was three hundred yards wide and swept the earth for only a short distance, probably less than a nine. Its furv is considered the most trrific cf any tornado "ever esperi- eifced in this section. The hilhides at Zephyr were cover ed with debris of all kinds and bodies of dead animals and human beings. The ruins were dimly lighted by the burning; buildings and the en.-s of the wounded rose above the sound of the elements which threatened a second torm. A hog roaming through the debris-strewn streets was killed whila attempting to devour the body of an infant. Bodies were found twisted about trees and in every conceivable shape. People walked the streets al most naked, crying for their loved ones. Residences which escaped the storm, were turned into hospitals where were carried the bodies of the dead and wounded. One storm house collapsed on a family of nine without serious injury to any. Brownwood, with splnedid organ ized releif work, has tho situaiton well in hand. Zeppelin's Great Feat. Berlin, By Cable.

Making Money Cheeringly. Lumberton, Special. Mr. Joshua Barnes, who lives between. two and three miles east of Lumberton, has a little Datch of strawberries that has been the source of a nice little income for the last two or three weeks and looks as though it will last for some time yet.
