T NORTH CAROLINA'S STATE HISTORY EXHIBIT AT JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION Ihe Whife Pictures-Some Fine Portraits Valuable Manuscripts-Attractive Case ; of Silver Wachovia's Display. ! To the Editor: "1 note the splen Bid cnroaological arrangement of the KorUa Carolina KrMblt. which. greatly uds the student to make a nistory Kudy or this Tmlcoble exhibit." -tto interested that I dare not en ter or I'd remain days and days." Aln the women ot the State have done greet things." Thus three historian ot tne History ftnllrHnr, one from the West, anoth er from the North, another from the go a In have written oX the collection t relics the Jamestown Historical Commission have arrsknged for exhibi tion in the nre-proof building ax the exposition. "With a desire to be faith ful to respond to the call of duty the women o the Old North State have planned, collected and installed a raloahle historical exhibit that North Carolinians should be 'interested in teeing; and proud of claiming. The Commission Is composed of Mrs. Lind say Patterson, chairman; Miss Ke becca Sell tuck and Miss Mary Hllllard tlin&on, who have given months of tedious labor to this patriotic work. As one enters the imposing gallery to the right, between the spaces fill ed by New Jersey and Georgia, is teen the sign North Carolina draped with the State flags. Beginning with the first events in' her history (that ruling ambition to be first, at which Virginia smiles), the coai-of-arms of Sir Walter Raleigh crowns the collec tion. Ballast Point the spot where the XxMrt Cojpny landed Is a study In oils by the side of the White Pic tureseighteen la number which Conn a iringe running along the top of the side partition. Tnese water colors are copies of the original paint ings now in the British, Museum and are the gift of Colonel Beneftan, Cameron, of StagsriUe, N. C, tht generous, patriotic Tar Heel who has ever shown the warmest love for. and Interest in the welfare of his native Btate. These are from the brush of Mr. Albert Sterner. In 168? Queen Elisabeth sent John White to Koant oke Island to make studies of the In dians and their customs. White re mained one year, lacking five days, and painted thirty ..pictures. The In dian features, their styles of aress, modes of prayer, dancing, eating, fish ing, their towns and tombs. are graphically revealed rn these speci mens of art of the sixteenth century. : The rich brown tones of the pho tographs of the Sprunt collection of the llords Proprietors - contrast well with the green background, just below the White Pictures on one side. There in the order of their rank these haughty cavaliers tne noble and the Ignoole blending' look down from tnelr frames upon tne shitting crowd bf sight-seers: King Charles iX then his grace the l&ri of Clarendon George Monck, Duke of Albemarle, WULam larl of Craven, John lra Berkely. Lord Asheley. Sir George Carteret, sir William Berkeley. Copies. In oils of tne originals hang In the noma of Mr. James tiprunC tne British. Consul, at Wilmington the only collection of the kind in exist ence. ' . i On. the eastern wall are hong some fine portraits, notably those of Dr. James Norcora. a skilled surgeon In the War of l12. who was recom mended by lr. Benjamin Rush, of Pnlladelphia. and appointed by Na: thaniel Macon, and Mrs. Winifred Hosklns, wife of Richard Hoskins, and secretary ot the "tklenton Tea Party." These are masterpieces and are-among the finest portraits In the building. George Green, secretary of the fourth Provincial Congress held at Halifax April 4. 177 . and Martha Cogadell. his wife, hang above also a picturesque portrait oc Charles 1. The State's history is well snown in etchings, photographs, and. water col ors. One finds here the homes of : Jackson. Folk and Johnson, our three 'Presidents; the headquarters of Lord Cornwallls at Wilmington; two of our historians. Carruthers and Hawks; Tryon Palace; numerous views ot -historic Ed en ton; the home of Colonel 'Joel Liane, the oldest house now standing In Wake county. In which the General Assembly met and elected Thomas Burke Governor of North Carolina, and. numerous other pic tures. Two cases are devoted to manu scripts. Here the scholar and the student can glean fine material for future use. Invaluable documents are shown with such names subscribed as 'those of General Washington, Gov ernors Tryon. Samuel Johnston. Ar thur Dobbs. Charles Eden, General Nathaniel Greene, Anthony Wayne. .'William R. Davie and Joseph Gra ham; letters from William Hooper !and John Penn to Joseph Hewes, jChlef Justices Christopher Gale and i James Iredell. The account book of (General Jethro Sumner Is of value from many standpoints. A priceless paper exhibted is a court martial drawn in the handwriting of John Paul Jones. The collection of rare old china 'and cut glass is worthy of close In spection. The gem of this collection is tho green and. gold plate loaned by Mrs. Lindsay Patterson. This Is one of the original net of thirty pieces Na ' poleori ordered tu be made and which he presented as ia coronation gift to his brother Joseph when he created the latter King of Spain. It was brought to Bowdentown and after wards sold to General Patterson. The case of clothing presents a study in the fashions of the long ago shawls,, waists, ' an exquisitely em broidered baby dress, more than a century old, a handkerchief, a veil, an elaborately quilted green satlh petti coat, etc.- etc, are arranged effective ly. The battle case is most attractive Beginning wtth Alamance our Im portant engagements are represented by relics that were used in those bloody encounters or by articfes that depict those events vividly. The bell, rung by the Regulators to gather to gether their bands, was used in lieu of a drum on that fatal day in May, 17 71, occupies a conspicuous position. ners, and. Intelligent Christian charac ter.' Our town should feel proud of such a school with such leadership. In the commercial world we are also keeping pace , with other events. Spring Hope is coming to the front steadily, but surely. Treasures from the battle grounds of Moore's creek Bridge, Guilford Court House and King's Mountain, have been preserved and find a place here. A shaving case presented by General i Nathaniel Greene to Peter Francisco, a handsome gift in its day. bears an inscription, scratched with a pointed . instrument by the distinguisn ed donor. There was originally a raaor for each day of the week with name of day thereon. The ''Edenton Tea Party" claims one's attention. There is nothing In our History Exhibit more artlstlp or unique than the tiny model or Airs. King's house in Edenton In which the Tea Party was held. This occupies an elevated place beneath the painting of that memorable event. Both were presented by Dr. Richard Dillard. of Edenton the one to the State, the other to the Jamestown Historical Commission. China and cut glass dishes once owned by uzaoetn Horneblow and Winifred Hoskins have been loaned. Copies ot the North Carolina Booklet have been placed on exhibition to show the ef for of the Daughters of the Revolu tion to raise funds for creating an ap propriate memorial to the 51 signers of the Declaration of Independence. The sum has been raised by these pa triotic Daughters for this purpose from this publication, and the good work continues. The silver case is the handsomest. Here the complete service of the Cameron 'family, now in the posses sion of Colonel Benehan Cameron, appears to advantage against a dark background. This ws once owned by Richard Benehan, of Staggville," who willed it to his daughter. Rebecca, the wife of Judge Duncan Cameron, whose coat-of-arms Is engraved upon the rive pieces. A portion of the ser vice presented by Prince Charles Ed ward to Flora McDonald is In the case. There are also silver heirlooms of the Eden. Harrey, Greene and Hooper families, bearing the crests of each respective house. The pewter goblet and patten used bv the first German Reform Church is loaned by Mrs. Sellars. of Alamance. The Exhibit from the Wachovia Historical Society is moet instructive. It comprises a century of lights, numerous, quaint maps, the history of Wachovia illustrated, all kinds of household utensils ana fire arms, va rious -musical instruments, including the harpischord played when Wash ington visited Salem a brass horn and the music Qod save Great Wash ington" are to be seen. This is the only time the Moravians have ever allowed their rare collection of relics to leave the town. The candle frame, CorawalliV printing press (the first In the. State) and one of the earliest Are engines In America, add variety to their most Interesting collection. , This exhibit portrays more repre sentative history thcSt any other- the life of the people as well as the great men and women, who have -taken part In the memorable events. No news paper article, however, can do justice to, or. give an accurate Idea of the historical worth of North Carolines exhibit one must eome and see for himself or herself . and receive from the historian In charge the Informa tion which will be, gladly given.

I i (Atlanta Constitution.) Charles J. Haden, who spent sev eral weeks In studying the cotton sit uation In Great;; Britain during July and August has f just returned! Speaking of his trip, he sai4: "The English spinner has the best view from whicn to observe the cot ton situation. One county (Lancas hire ) spins nearly one-third .of what all the world grows, and depends upon the finished products. " From; Cape town to Canada and from Australia to India the Briton keeps his; finger on the tra-de purse, and at the ame time watches the dally weather re ports from the American cotton states. His margin is closer, and he fives in greater peril of the upper and neither stones than his - American Competi tor." "I am Inclined- to think, for reasons just statedf that the Englishman : Is a safer barometer of markets than ihe Anierican.,rtrhe ten days of the latter part of August, which I specif Inline Lancashire district, confirmed; the con clusion expressed in my letter to The Constitution from Manchester In July. There never was a time whenlthe con trol of cotton was so thoroughly in the hands of the cotton growers. Ev erything depends upon their;! fidelity to each other and the creditors fideli ty: to- all. If the men of the South prove as patriotic tn the approochina caropalgn of peaceas theV were forty five years ago in the campaign of war, victory Is absolutely certain.' Lancashire is Nervous. Lancashire la nervously lanxious. Tney have increased and ar increas ing their spindles at a fabulous rate. They will soon be calling for a mil lion more bales than In Past years. New England also required more. The weaving development in Germany since I visited that country some years ago is marvelous. The Egyptian out- DUt of raw cotton Is now strained to its limit, and the lands on t-'hicli it 1: crrown are selling at from J300 td $500 per acre. The progress rtiads in cotton growing in India and Am erica is too slight to be nstdere& as a' possible factor at any early day. . "There is one phase of the cotton consumption which I believe has never been fully taken Into account. Every i year more cotton and less silk fcoes into silk fabrics, and less. 001 and more cotton Is found in woolen cloth i lrig. Such facts do not appear lh the ! - manufacturers' advertlsementa The ! mixing is done in the privacy of the j carding rooms, to which rooms the ' statisticians have no access. This secret consumption of cotton is, ap piarent only in the unexplained short age of the visible supply. All this cot ton growers : should know. The bank- era, merchants and other creditors of the cotton growers should,- so fax as it is possible, cooperate to hold the cotton in the control of the South. It may strain the local money j mar ket for a season, out , in ' the enal it will enormously benefit alp trades and all classes and make us masters of the New York gambling pta. ,1 f "For forty years the 6outh. -has milled a laboring' oar against the tide of debt, and projudlce.
