The James town Ter-Centennial Exposition, to be no ot Hampton Roads, j "ear wononc, in iwi. win imv .hv beautiful and novel fence to enclose its extensive grounds. : Tne design is a new departure from the old-style high board fence, seen at former expositions. The Jamestown fence Will be beautiful well as useful, a quality that was sadly lacking at the other exposition. Owing to the fact that the landscape feature of the Jamestown celebration is to be one of the great Attractions at the exposition, the Idea presented it self to Mr. Charles H. Pratt, Superin tendent of the grounds, that it would be an excellent plan to include the sur rounding fence re one of the features of the landscape design, thus giving the whole site the appearance of a beautiful private park, Buch as might be seen surrounding some of the royal palaces of foreign countries. The total distance around the expo sition grounds is about 17,000 feet, but the site is so situated on Sewell's Point thot only about 11,000 feet of fence had to be erected, the waters of Hamton Roads making a natural boundary for the remainder. The fence, which is constructed of wire mesh and heavy barb, is covered with vines systematically planted so as to make an impenetrable barrier of beautiful foliage, giving the effect of an enormous hedge. The wire mesh, which is of the best quality, is about five feet wide, costing $130 a mile. Above this mesh are stretched three strands of heavy barb, bring the total height up to seven feet Surmounting the whole, and stretched on cross beams at the top of each post are five more lines of barbed wire, making the fences most formidable barrier. The vines for the fence were planted in May of 1906, and as they are native to the Southern climate they are already of a very dense growth. At each post has been planted a trumpet vine, with marvelous success, and between each post a crimson rambler rose bush has been planted. ..Between the trumpet vines and the rose bushes, honeysdckle has been trained, jBO that the entire fence will be covered with a fragrant mass of flowering beauty. Mr. Lavalle a distinguished architect from Boston who was the guest of Mr. Pratt at the Exposition grounds recent ly, was most enthusastic about the gen era) landscape design, and especially in regard to the fence, about which he said: "It is one of the most beautiful and novel things I have ever seen, and 1 would feel that my trip had been am ply repaid if I had seen nothing else. " At the Lewis and Clarke Exposition at Portland, last year, the authorities erected an immense water tank, in a prominent position on the grounds. The tank, being of a plain wooden construct ion, and was looked upon as an eyesore which marred the general appearance of the Exposition until Oskar Huben, Director of Works, conceived the idea of growing vines over the entire tank, Within a few months, the vines, which with great rapidity, in that section of the country, had grown over the entire structure adding a unique feature to the general display. Thus it is seen that with the aid of nature, some of the homeliest structures can be made most attractive. This has been the plan upon which Mr. Pratt has based his work, and when the numerous gates of the Exposition swing open the visitors, as they pass into the beautiful grounds. Will think as one wan already bas said, that they are entering into a "New Eden.". . Two Deaths In Maysville. On Saturday morning, July 28th, Ada, the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and;Mrs, J. O. . Ervm, died at her home In Maysville of typhoid fever. At the time of Ada's death Mrs. Ervin was so seriously sick with the same fever, that the attending physicians, Dra. Shaw Hammonds and Kafer, as sisted by Miss Sallie Powell, a trained nurse from the Stewart Sanatorium, thought it best no to inform Mrs. Er vin of the death of her child. Every thing in the power of these faithful physicians was done for the patient but despite of all medical aid six days later, on the morning of August the third, without any knowledge of the death of her child, the dark and solemn shadows of death again visited the grief stricken home- and took from it that mostjaithful and loved relative, wife and mother. ' " As a christian lady she will be mourn ed byfather, mother, sister, husband, children, relatives and friends, but we would not forget that this, our loss, has carried them to that celestial home where God in His Infinite power reigns supreme, and where peace and joy and love has conquerred sorrow and pain end death. Our sorrow and afflictions of tw udl-ment ' h,n . re-united with them in that bright be- yond, to be parted no more, but peace- 'uK' wltn the God of Love through 01,1 eternity. i - , C.

Postmaster Tyre Cirnn Retires.: Em- ployees Under His AdminiHtration Make Him a Present. Dixie Fire Insurance Company . Has Flattering Pros a peers. (Special Correspondence) Greensboro, Aug. 3. Sheriff Harris, of Cabarrus county, was here today en route to Raleigh to which place he was taking Susie Hannon, the twelve year old murderess of H. Y, Stack in Con cord. The killing occurred last April She was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Governor Glenn had no tified Mr. Means, her attorney, that he would hear a personal presentation of the case by him either today or Satur day. Dave Hannon, the father of the girl, was not able to furnish the neces sary funds and so Mr. Means did not go to Raleigh. Conditional pardon was asked for a few weeks after the trial that the girl might be placed in a re formatory or private family during the term of her sentence, The request and petition is what the governor, has here tofore refused to allow. The girl was taken to Raleigh to be committed in the penitentiary to begin serving out her sentence. -. ' Central Labor Body held a very en thusiastic meeting last night and elec ted the following delegates to the State Federation of Labor meeting in Ashe ville, August 13th: Messrs. Andrew J. Williams, Louis Burtnett and Charles Lewis. - Committees were appointed to ar range a program of events for Labor Day and it is the intention of the labor leaders to have a big celebration. As tokens of esteem the em; in the Greensboro postoffice on yester day presented to the retiring postmas ter, Mr. Tyre Glenn, a tourist's hand some traveling bag or satchel, and to the retiring assistant postmaster, Mr. C. C. Burton, a fine umbrella. The gifts were accepted by the gentlemen in short but appropriate talks of appre ciation. With the organization here of the Dixie Fire Insurance Company with a capital and surplus of ' seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Greensboro besides being the home of four Life In surance Companies, steps up ahead of every other Southern city in the num ber of fire companies, the Dixie being the sixth. This new company will be gin business August 15, its headquarters and main offices being in Greensboro and will be one of the largest fire companies in the south. The company will do business all over the Southern States and it will be a great factor in the up building of North Carolina. Sheriff Jordan is confident thatjFrank Bohannon will soon he caugh, as a force of men are close after him near the Virginia line and he is expecting any moment to be called to Danville to get him. ' ' ' ". . There are already three negroes in jail under indictments for conspiracy to murder a policeman here, and the murder of one of their own number, Mark Cotton, Instead. In his ante mortemjstatement Cotton told all about the plan made for him to get the police man in the trap, but when the negroes shot Cotton got the lead instead of the policeman. - These deliberate conspira cies to murder unsuspecting white men by negro criminals, and the successful execution of the one this week, is caus ing no end of speculation as to what may be the result should Bohannon be caught With the three to be brought here tonight there would then be seven alleged deliberate negro murderers in the jail. ' It is doubtful whether it would be strong enough to hold them. Effect of tht Personal Puff. ' An Indian territory editor says: ; "It Is more fun to see a man read a puff on himself in a newspaper than to see a fat citizen slip on a banana peeL The narrow-minded man reads it over seven or (eight times and then goes around and begs all the copies he can. The" kind hearted one goes home and reads it to his wife and then goes around to the office, and pays what he owes. The successful business man, who advertises regularly and makes money by it, immediately starts out to find the editor, and then tbe two walk silently down the street and the busi ness man takes sugar in Kis'n and they both eat a clove or two and life is sweeter, and peace settles down on their lives for a moment Such is the experience of a mustard seed that falls on different ground."
