the city of Winston Salem.
The state., exhibit, which covers the
entire early history of North Carolina
from Its beglnulng through the war of
1812, Is replete with portraits of pres
idents, governors and statesmen who
have been produced from within her
borders; also famous documents, let

dian pictures presented by Colonel H.
H. Cameron, the portraits of Presi

of Reynolds' portraits and u famous
portrait of Theodoala Burr by an un
known artist.
The portrait of Theodoala Burr,
daughter of Aaron Burr, the Hiiddest
and most romantic character In Ameri
can history, has a history too remark
able to pass over without some men
tion. Theodoala Burr (Mrs. Alston, wife
of Governor Alston of North Carolina)

meet her father, Aaron Burr, In New
Tork upon his arrival from Europe.
The ship she sailed In was lost at sea,

fate of this beautiful woman until re
cently, when the picture which now
forma part of the history exhibit at
the exposition waa found In the posses
sion of an old woman whoso remark
able atory provea without a doubt that
Theodoala came to her death ot the
hands of pirates. The portrait was
found In the shanty of a very old wom
an at Nags Head, N. C., who told the
atory of how a piratical crew lured
ships on to the shallows by false lighta,
benefiting by the resulting wrecks.
The painting found In her possession
waa given her by one of the pirates oh
bla abate of the booty taken from a
ablp that was without a doubt the oue
on which Theodoala Burr aet aall never
to he heard of again.
The collection of silver services pre
