MIl.rORTEITS APPEAL
VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE STATE AD
DRESSES THE PEOPLE.
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.
Our corn, wheat, rye and other pro
ductions nre as fine and of as good
quality as any In the United States.
We desire a good class of Immigra
tion, and It Is the duty of every good
citizen of our state to use every effort
in his power to tiring about a plan to
encourage such Immigration, that our
slate may be developed aud Improved
to such an extent that she may stand
at the head of the column of the south
ern states.
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. We lielleve at least
:0,000 or $2.,000 could be. raised In
this way. We could then erect a build
ing for our state and could have stitU
clent means to make a creditable dis
play of the products and Industrie of
the state, which would no doubt be
the means of bringing millions of capi
tal Into our commonwealth.
It Is believed that the state legisla
ture would tgke a broad view of till
effort to promote the public welfare
and without delay reimburse those
who subscribe to this fund.
