Southern Negro Exposition Planned

An exposition will be held next year by the Negroes of the South. The purpose of the exposition will be to show the advancement made by the Negroes since the Civil War. An association of Negroes in charge of the project has purchased 100 acres of land at Ft. Lee, five miles south of Richmond, on which the exposition will be held. The State of Virginia has made a liberal appropriation toward the enterprise, and other State help is promised from several Southern commonwealths. The interest Congress has in the exposition is manifested by an appropriation of $55,000. The land will be used for an experimental farm after the exposition is over.
