"hVNorth Carolina, exhibit in the State's Exhibit Palace at the Jamestown Exposition is second to none in the building It is compact and exhaustive, and thoroughly exploits the re sources of the State,; jjatural -and manufactured. - - - - - - Covering' vsomething over 6,000 square feet of floor space in the northwest comer of the building, just to the left of the main entrance, this exhibit is ioW!bm.ecaa'ial letter 'L,M withii square within it This square toritains about 3,000 square feet of floor space and contains the exhibits of agriculture, forestry, fish and game, That space contained in. the ML," accomodates ;i the exhibits of like character in the building. , The collective assemblage cost $15,000, twice as much be ing spent in the square . as in the side booths. The State colors blue, red and whiteare prominently displayed 3 in the decorations, and yet the prevailing scheme is cream and gold. Around the several sections of the exhibit is a r railing of polished brass. The posts supporting this rail are-finished in cream and gold; On the top of each is a flag staff with a golden ball. The entrances and there are some eight or ten of them are flank ed f y with j tall cream-white columns with Ionic capitals, A irmo unted by gilded eagles with wings outspread. Draped in festoons between the columns in the. centra booth are cords of gilded and colored peanuts in unique and artisticdecorations, aided; by numerous designs of grain and iorage plant On account of its size and unusual appearance the dec orated building in the central exhibit catches your attention almost immediately. On the sides and roof of this little house are shown in quaint de signs and displays nearly every principal agricultural product of North Carolina. The roof is made of corn shucks; the sides of wheat, tobacco, grasses, cornstalks, cotton and clipped . grain. Among the most attractive designs on the house are the tnonogram of the State and the seal of the Department of Agriculture. This latter figure shows a pair of scales, over which is a bunch of tobacco , leaves. In the centre of the foreground is a plow; below it are decorations of corn, cotton and wheat. One-half of it is used for theoifice of the fuper intendent of the exhibit; the other half has been converted into a store-room for boxes, emptv cases, etc. v AGRICULTURE PYRAMID. ' The most artistic display in I will mail j you free, to prove merit, samp'es of xriy Dr. Snoop's Restorative and my book on - either Dyspepsia, The Heart, or the Kidneys. Address me, Dr. Shoop, Racine, Ww. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidney, are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symp toms only. Symptom treatment u treat ing the result of your ailment, and not toe cause. Weak Stomach nerves-the inside nerves means Stomach weakness, always, , . And the Heart, and Kidneys as well, have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and you inevitably have weak vital organs. Here is where Dr.. Shoop's Restorative has made its fame. No other, remedy even , claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for Woatiiigr, Wliousness, bad breath or , complexion, use Dr. Shoop's Restorative Write me far sample and free Book. Dr. ShOOtt. RacillA. Wla. pHtnnlln the booth, and one that will cot fail to call forth admiration; is an agricultural pyramid, ? built U lour sections, -. and exhibit ing in ; tubes and jars all the grain products of the. State. Covenng this, drooping from the top, is a hanging umbrella of artificially-colored peanuts, blending perfectly with the brown and" yellow grain T and with the red background jrwith which the pyramid is finished. The exhibits i in the central booth were collected and ar ranged by T K. Bruner, Secre tary of the .North ; Carolina State Board of Agriculture, and H. H. Brimley, curator of the State Museum. Mr. Brim ley has active charge of the en tire exhibit of the board, and on account of his, wide exper ience in exposition affairs, has rendered his State service of incalculable value. He has had throughout the hearty support of the agricultural board, which, with Mr. Brumer -likewise an old exposition man for; its secretary, is to be held account-, able for a great part of the success of the undertaking. In the exhibit of agriculture there are unusually fine sam ples of all North Carolina grains and grasses in the sheaf or bundles. A considerable portion of the decorations are in representation of this depart ment. Numerous jars and tubes, many being noticeably dis played' n the pyramid described above, containing clear grams and seeds, are used decorative ly, as well as to show the yarie- ty and quality of the "Old North State." COLORED TRANSPARENCIES. In connection with , the show ing of this department are thirty-two large colored trans parencies. These form the windows of a pagoda structure in one corner of the central booth. Within the pagoda isa powerful electric light, which serves to show the colors in the transparencies. From the top of the structure mounts a to bacco column, about five feet in circumference. This pillar is covered with decorations of tobacco leaves, the various va rieties being shown. Its top is ornamented with a growing tobacco plant. While the whole State of North Carolina is represented by the fine exhibits of the de partment of agriculture, a great man' of the finest were sent from the plantation of W. H. Robins near Raleigh, Mr. Robins himselt arranging them in the booth. In the horticultural exhibit are displayed the products of the North Carolina fruit grow ers and market gardeners. All kinds of fresh, preserved and canned fruits , and vegetables are shown by this department, and during the exposition fresh specimens will be frequently re ceived, each in its season. THE FORESTRY DISPLAY. Though a by no means ancient science, forestry finds many of its most ardent stu dents in North Carolina; and the exhibits in this department are surpassed by none of like nature at the exposition The chief displays consist of cross sections of the various forest trees of the State, shown Get a free sample of Dr. Shoop's "Health Coffee.' If real coffee disturbs your Stomach, your Heart or Kidneys, then try this Clever Coffee imitation. While Dr. Shoop has very ; closely matched Old Java and Mocha Coffee in ' flavor and taste, yet he has not even a single grain of real Coffee in it Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee Xmitatation is made from pure, toasted grain or cereals, with Halt.

The lower parts, have, , been sand-papered only, leaving the wood in its unfinished, natural state. In this way about forty varieties jot forest trees ; are shown, each being carefully labeled.

They are in an elevated pagoda, arched, over two large exhibit Iicasej A small column extends f roqa the roof of the pagoda. . 1 FREAK ANIMALS. - Among the exhibits of. the department of fish and game are several of the most strange and unique at the entire exposi tion. The visitor will see a 'possum with creamy white hair and beautiful pink ejes, and an albino squirrel, as cotton and as fluffy as eider down. In the same case with these freaks he will see a yellow raccoon, so nearly approaching albinoism as to be almost a true representative of the type. These three specimens are from the North Carolina State museum, where for the , last several years they have attract ed great attention and interest They were all killed in the State; the 'possum having been caught near Raleigh, the coon near Wilmington, and the squir rel in Craven county. .v , Then there are a number of game and tur-bearing animals, together with a large assort ment of skins. There is a case full of wild ducl& twenty-three varieties, with two of each as a rule -and six or eight wild geese. They were collected by Mr. Brimley, many specimens having been prepared especially for exhibit at the exposition. With the ducks is shown a hybrid duck, a cross between a mallard and black duck. This was shot some time ago in North Caro lina, and is one of the few spec imens of hybrid ducks in exis tence. The fishing interests of the State are represented by a number of large colored repro ductions of the most important fish of North Carolina waters, and a full assortment of crabs, clams, oysters, turtles, shrimps, etc. , With the fish exhibits are shown models of the various types of fishing craft used on the coast and in the rivers and lakes of the State. , While in miniature only, thes.e little boats are perfect in every de tail ' ' .

' r v The ' cotton ' fabric interests of North1 Carolina'' are1 among the most important ' in' the State: These are completely covered by the textile display,' several thou sand specimens being shown in stacks and cases. The various stages of fabric In its manufac ture are interestingly shown on a piramid-like structure. ( On the top of this pile you will see the raw cotton in the boll on the stalk. Nexc is the picked; unseeded cotton: then the cotton lint Following this stage Is the lap that is, the lint in long strips rolled around itself. ' Next you will see the cotton in a slightly twisted cord on the card and drawing, sliver. Prom this the material is twisted yet more into coarse roving, then into in termediate roving then into fine roving, and finally into the fin ished thread, which goes into the woven fabric. More than a hundred mills are represented, among the largest interests being the Cone Export & Commission Co., of Greens boro and New York, controlling twenty-five North Carolina mills in the selling agency depart ments; Bv Frank Mebane, con: trolling the collective mills nine in number, of Spray and Leakst ville; W. A. Erwin of West Duri ham, controlling the Erwin clus ter of seven mills; the Hunter Manufacturing &. Com mission Co., of Greensboro and New York, controlling six or seven scattered throughout the State.- Twenty glass cases, represent ing nearly two thousand cubic feet of exhibit space, are shown in the booth displaying many kinds and qualities of cotton and woolen farics, in all weights and colors In these cases you will see a great variety of garments and hosiery in exploitation of the several kinds of materials used in them. The wall of the booth is dec orated'with textile designs and pictures of North Carolina cotton mills and plants Among these is a transparency of the great Whitney falls power at Whitney, where eight million dollars are now being expended in development. The furniture department shows a collective exhimTfrom the numerous factories of the State in suits and oddities, and also the woods in the different stages of manufacture. 1 Most of the cabinet woods of the State are employed : in this furniture manufacture. One will see a number of very pretty and useful articles, and will realize- perhaps for the first time, un less you are from North . Caroli na that the State is by no means unknown in the .world which .the exhibits in this department rep resent. You will understand the astonishing strides which are be ing made by the "Old North State" in that direction, and you will - see , that this speaks well, not' only for the I State," but for the South in general.
