He Sunneala a 1-lan n Mecare For Nona Carolina an Admnale Repre si'iiliillou al the Tan-America Ex position. The following Is the address of the on. W. K Toiler to the people of North Carolina: Having been appointed a vice presi- etil for the slate of North Carolina to the Tun American Exposition to be Id nt Buffalo from May 1 to Nov. 1, .101, I take the liberty of adilrcHsltig yuu as my fellow cltlr.eus aud present- lug to you some facts which I conceive to be of vast Importance to auy good citizen of our beluved state. I desire tu cull your attention to the fnct that this Exposition will naturally lug together a vast crowd of people loin different portions of the world. uastnuch us our state legislature has not bad the opportunity thus fur to make the necessary appropriation for display of our products at this Ex position, and unfortunately for us the gular session of our legislature doe not meet until .January. 11)01, we are a if u I that It cannot make a suitable pproprliitloii lu time to erect a state building so that we might be enabled to make a proper and creditable exhibit for our stute. A first class exhibit can be made by her people If the proper effort are put forth. It Is proposed that we transfer the North Carolina exhibit at Tarts to Buffalo, which will probably be done, but that exhibit will not be sufficient. We want to bring before the people of the north and all the western heml- phere an exhibit that will speak vol umes for our state. A suitable display of the products and resources of North arollna no doubt will be a revelation to the people and will be of great ben efit to the Old North State. There are millions of people without any knowledge or our product ana the advantages that we possess. It Is not generally known that the tobacco of North Carolina took the first pre mium at the World's Fair nt Vienna, but such Is the case. It Is not general ly known that the minerals of North Carollua are the finest In the world. We have minerals and precious stones In our state that are not found In any other country on the globe. We have an untold wealth In mica mines, and we lielleve we can furnish sufficient mica for the markets of the world for years to come. Our millions of acres of nearly all kinds of timber are virtually In the virgin forests and untouched. The texture of our cotton can compete with the production of any other south ern state.

To bring about the results thus set forth. It will lie necessary for the peo ple themselves to take bold of the matter. Instead of waiting to see what the legislature may do for the state 1, ns your vice president and rep resentative, have appealed to the good people of our state to come to the res cue. I propose In the first place that the citizens of each county In the state call meeting of her iieople at the county oat or some other accessible polut and organize Tan-American clubs aud take Bubscrlptlons.
