GLENN, Governor. North Carolina Building. The North Carolina building at the Jamestown exposition Is of colonial architecture and was erected at a cost of $23,000. It is an imposing structure, constructed upon a plot of ground 135 by 110 feet in size, situated on Wllloughby Boulevard, east, and overlooks the broad waters of Hampton Roads. The building was designed by Zimmerman & Leister, architects, , of Winston-Salem, N. C. and was Constructed by J. D. Elliott, contractor, of Hickory, N. C. The building Is three stories high and contains fourteen commodious apart ments, a hallway on each floor and a number of closets and bathrooms. The Vanderbilt Room. To the right on entering the main hall is the Vanderbilt room, so called for the reason that the beautiful and ex pensive mission furniture It contains was presented by Mrs, George Vander bilt. This furniture was made by the members of the Biltmore Industrial club, composed of the . children of tha workmen employed on the Vanderbilt estate near Asheville, and is a very Interest ing exhibit. Just back of this room is another re ception room finished after the mission style, with hardwood walls, like the. Vanderbilt room. The furniture in this apartment is a gift from the Whit? Furniture company, In the lower hall hangs a board Qf North Carolina pine upon which is painted the following toast: Here's to the land of the long leaf pine, .

HULI Dr. Shoops Magic Omtaeat Theodosia Burr's Portrait and the Mys tery of Her Death. The North Carolina state historical exhibit, but recently installed in the History Juuilding at the Jamestown ex position, forms one of the most inter esting and valuable collections of its kind at the Tercentennial and reflects great credit upon the state and those Individuals who are responsible for it3 presence. The exhibit, which is partly under the auspices of ' the Wachovia Historic society, a Moravian organiza tion of Winston-Salem, N. C, is under the direction of Miss Lindsay Patter Bon, chairman of the committeer Miss Schenck of Greensboro, Miss Mary Hinton of Raleigh and J. A. Linback Ithe building. It is compact and ex of the "Wachovia Historic society. j haustive and thoroughly exploits the The Moravian exhibit is a most in- resources of the state, natural and teresting collection of the handicraft, and- genius of the people of that de nomination who settled In North Caro lina in the early part of the eighteenth century and demonstrates their won derful ingenuity. Among the relics of this exhibit Is the first fire engine im ported In this country; also one of the first printing presses, which was cap tured later by Cornwallis and used in the printing of his orders. Pottery, beadwork and pewter ware form an Important part of the collection, which is exhibited for the first time outside of the city of "Winston-Salem. The state exhibit, which covers the entire early history of North Carolina from its beginning 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 ters and silverware from many of the old families of the state, Relics from the famous battles of Guilford Court House and Morse Creek bridge also form part of the exhibit. The portraits are among the. most in teresting of the exhibit, consisting of the noted John White collection of In dian pictures presented by Colonel B. H. Cameron, the portraits of Tresi dent Jackson, Pope and Johnson, two of Reynolds' portrait and a famous portrait of Theodosia Burr by an un- known artist. The portrait of Theodosia Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr, the saddest and most romantic character in Amerl can history, has a history too remark able to pass over without some men tion. Theodosia Burr (Mrs. Alston, wife of Governor Alston of North Carolina) i bel sau 110111 or,eion, W set sail from Georgetown. N. C. to ! meet her father, Aaron Burr, In New York upon his arrival from Europe, The ship she sailed in was lost at sea and nothing was ever known of the fate of this beautiful woman until re cently, when the picture which now forms part of the history exhibit at the exposition was found In the posses sion of an old woman whose remark able story proves without a doubt that Theodosia came to her death at the hands of pirates. The portrait was found In the shanty of a very old worn an at Nags Head, N. C, who told the story of how a piratical crew lured ships on to the shallows by false lights, benefiting by the resulting wrecks, The painting found in her possession was given her by one of the pirates as his share of the booty taken from a ship that was without a doubt the one on which Theodosia Burr set sail never to be heard of again The collection of silver services pre sented by some of the most noted fam ilics of the state also adds greatly to the value of the collection. The ex hibit in its entirety Is one of the hand soniest and best chosen which have. been installed at the exposition and must be seen to be appreciated, North Carolina Negro Exhibit. North Carolina has - contributed to the Jamestown exposition a most inter esting negro exhibit, housed in the Negro building at the Tercentennial Under the charge of the Rev. C. H, Williamson, commissioner general of the North Carolina negro exhibit, this display represents the work of every educational, industrial and religious in stitution in the state, Most wonderful of all is the work done by the school for the colored deaf, dumb and blind, located at Ral elgh. The needle and fancy work and the woodcarvlng and other handi work of the unfortunate students of this institution have attracted the at tention of the entire country. The colleges and schools represented In the negro exhibit of North Carolina are as follows: School For the Colored Deaf, Dumb and Blind, Raleigh; Ashe- Tille graded school, Asheville; High Point Normal school, High Point; State Normal school, Elizabeth City; Roanoke institute, Elizabeth City; Whltted graded school, Durham; St. Augustine's school, Raleigh; A. and M. college, Greensboro; Joseph K. Bride scboo, Enfield; Henderson Normal institute and Shaw university, Raleigh. Among the most Interesting exhibits in the general display of North Caro lina negro development is a collection of negro publications. The exhibit of African curios is also most Interesting and unique. Exposition Rates Reasonable. District Passenger Agent J. H. Wood of the Southern Railway company at Asheville has returned from a. several days' trip to the Jamestown exposition and declares that he was favorably im pressed with the excellence of the ex position. He said that there was no reason for complaint; that the trans partfitfoo facilities were entirely ade quate; that hotel facilities were ample and that rates were reasonable. The exposition itself, Mr. Wood said, was Interesting and Instructive and sight seers could very pleasantly ?,nd jpiKriit ably spend several days in and around Nrf alk- and the exposition groundj, Citizen, Asheville, N.

Odd Specimens on View In These Sec tions White Possum and Albino Raccoon Agricultural Pyramid With Its Novel Peanut Umbrella. The North Carolina exhibit in the States' Exhibit Talace at the James town exposition is second to none in manufactured, covering something over 6,000 square feet of floor space in the northwest corner of the building, Just to the left of the main entrance, this exhibit is In the form of the capi tal letter "L," with a square within It This square contains about 3,000 square feet of floor space and displays the exhibits of agriculture, forestry, fish and game. That space contained In the "I." accommodates the exhibits of like character in the building. The collective assemblage cost $15,000, twice as much being spent In the square as in the side booths. The state colors blue, red and white are prominently displayed in the dec orations, and yet the prevailing scheme is cream and gold. Around the several sections of the exhibit Is a railing of polished brass. The posts supporting this rail are finished In cream and gold. On the top of each is a flagstaff with a golden ball. The entrances and there are some eight or ten of them are flanked with tall cream white columns with Ionic capitals, surmounted by gilded eagles with wings outspread. Draped in festoons between the col umns in the central booth are cords of gilded and colored peanuts in unique and artistic decorations, aided by nu merous designs of grain and forage plants. On account of Its size and unusual appearance the decorated building in the central exhibit catches your at tention almost Immediately. On the sides and roof of this little house is shown in quaint designs and displays nearly every principal agricultural product of North Carolina. The roof Is made of cornshucks, the sides of wheat, tobacco, grasses, cornstalks, cotton and clipped grain. Among the most attractive designs on the house are the monogram of the state and the seal of the department of agriculture. The most artistic display in the booth and one that will not. fail to call forth admiration is an agricultural pyramid, built in four sections and exhibiting in tubes and jars all the grain products of the state. Covering this, drooping from the top, is a hanging umbrella of artificially colored peanuts, blending perfectly with the brown and yellow grain and with the red background with which the very picturesque pyra mid is finished. In the exhibit of agriculture there are unusually fine samples of all North Carolina grains and grasses in the sheaf or bundles. While the whole state of North Carolina Is represented by the fine exhibits of the department of agriculture, a great many of tha finest were sent from the plantation of W. n. Robins, near Raleigh, Mr. Rob ins himself arranging them in the booth. Though a by no means" ancient sci ence, forestry finds many of its ardent students in North Carolina, and the exhibits In this department are sur passed by none of like nature at the exposition. Among the exhibits of the depart ment of fish and game are several of the most strange and unique at the entire exposition. The visitor will see a possum with creamy white hair and beautiful pink eyes and an albino squirrel as white as cotton. In the same case with these freaks he will see a yellow raccoon so nearly, approaching albinoism as to be al most a true representative of the type. These three specimens are from the North Carolina state museum, where for the last several years they, have attracted great attention and in terest. They were all killed in the state, the possum having been caught near Raleigh, the raccoon near Wil mington and the squirrel in Craven county. Then there are a number of game and fur bearing animals, together with a large assortment of skins. There is a case full of wild ducks twenty-three varieties, two of each, as a rule and six or eight wild geese. They were collected by II. II. Brimley, curator of the North Carolina muse um, many specimens having been pre pared especially for exhibit at the exposition. With the ducks is shown a hybrid duck, a cross between a mal lard and black duck. This was shot some time ago in North Carolina and Is one of the few specimens of "hy brid ducks in existence. The fishing Interests of the state are represented by a numler of large colored reproductions ot the most im portant fish of -North Carolina waters and a full assortment of crabs, clams, oysters, turtles, shrimps, etc. Jamestown's Accessibility. Within a twenty-four hour radius of the exposition there live some 40,000,- t- 000 people, or nearly half, the popula-, tion of the entire United States. Eight . . or ten railroads and as many' steam ship lines center in Norfolk and New port News, making it possible to bring : all of these people -to the exposition during the period of the celebration, . and all who enter the gates of the Co- lonlal City" by the Sea will find enter tainment in the highest sense of ta word.
