EXTRA occasions call lor specially^ tfoodCbocolates At the monthly meeting of the coun ty commissioners next Monday thu commissioners will receive from the register of Deeds, W. M. Moore, a long roster of the voters of the county and they will select about 2,500 names as a reserve list from which jurors will be drawn for Mecklenburg courts tor the next two years. These names will be turned over to the sheriff and sealed up in a box and will be drawn out as jurors are needed. The commissioners completed the work of selecting the names several weeks ago and the process is known as "purging the jury box.” It is done every two years in order that jury du ty may be divided out as far as possi ble among all worthy citizens and that none unworthy of the dignity of acting as a juror may be allowed to serve through any oversight.

The site chosen by congress lies between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and extends from Pennsylvania avenue south to the Mall which ru.ns from the capitol to the Washington monument. ^'a.=hiiiKton.

In seeking plr.ns for the building's the govei'ument Inaugurated a competi tive contest, sending invitations to some sixty of the leading architects of ATuerica asking them to submit designs. These plans were then plac ed befo'o the board of examining arch- i'f‘c;s who selected three of the most Piiitnble and artistic awarding to Donn T>?ji)cr. the department of justice; to YmIc and Sawyer, the department of con'iinerre and lybor and to Arnold W. iininner. the department of state. These th”ee architects were then call ed together by the secretary of treas ury and given instructions to develop their individual designs with the heads of the buildings for which they w^re intended, having constantly in view at the same lime the reconciliation of the designs to each other and the harmony of tile group as a whole. In exterior design the three build ings are similar in character, each em- plo\ing columns three stories in height set i’i)on a windowed veil, and arch itectural "basement.” This wall is one story h’gh in the case of the end build ings and tAvo stories high in the cen tral one, thus cornering the dip of the ground and raising the three colon nades fo the same level. While ornamental in appearance, the buildings are of the utmost sim plicity and no fancied needs of “arch itectural expressions” have been al lowed to interfere with the practical requirements of lighting and arrange ment. From Pennsylvania Avenue on the North the principal feature of the front will be the entrance portico of the department of justice, from the monument grounds or the Mall, that of the state department. The building of commerce and labor, forming the connecting link, is a sim ple rectangle, its lines being unbroken by any dominating feature. Its main entrance is on Fifteenth street, but its entrances for the employes are from the sidewalk of Fourteenth street on a level with the car lines. It will probably be two years before the new buildings will be completed. St. Louis, July 1.—An active cam- palngs for former Governor J. W.
