PLACES OF INTEREST IN AND ABOUT RALEIGH.

        Raleigh is a pleasant city of about 14,000 inhabitants, about equally divided between the white and colored races.

        The city is well laid off with broad streets, well shaded by elms, maples and oaks, and contains many comfortable and handsome dwelling houses. The site of the city is on slightly rolling ground, more level than the surrounding country.

        The State Capitol is within one block of the centre of the city, and is a handsome, massive structure three stories high, built of gray granite quarried at the southeast limit of the city.

        Few places the size of Raleigh have as many handsome public buildings.

        Raleigh is somewhat celebrated as an educational centre, there being located here two large female schools, one classical and high school for boys, two large normal institutes for the colored race, one of them, the Shaw University, being among the largest in the world, having on their grounds five large four-story brick, metal roof buildings; and the public graded schools, white and colored, six in number.

        Visitors having time should see the following places:

An Appeal to the People of North Carolina.



Office of the North Carolina State Exposition, RALEIGH, N. C., June 19th, 1884.

        At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina State Exposition the following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted, and according to instructions of the Committee it is herewith presented:

        "Resolved, That the President and Secretary be authorized to make an appeal to the people of the State, stating that the Exposition had grown beyond all expectation, and that the buildings, though large, are not sufficient; that more buildings are needed, and that to erect them we need more help."

        In obedience with the above resolution, the President and Secretary desire to make the following statement.

        While the Exposition Company was organized with the provision that the stock should not exceed $50,000, the Company have never been able to secure within the State more than $18,500 in stock subscription.

        It has been necessary to erect one large main building, size 336x336 feet, at a cost of over $12,000. In addition we have the machinery shed, grand stand and floral hall of the Agricultural Society. With all these we need additional space, for the prospect now promises more than even the most sanguine supporters of the enterprise had reason to expect or hope. It is necessary to erect buildings to represent saw-mills, wood-working machinery of various kinds, and also other buildings to display ladies' work, &c. The amount of funds in hand do not at present warrant an outlay sufficient to cover these buildings, and in order that every branch of industry and all resources of our State may be fully exhibited, we most earnestly appeal to the patriotic and generous citizens of the State to aid the Exposition Company by increasing the stock subscriptions so that we can raise at least $5,000 in addition to the stock already subscribed for.

        The shares of stock are $25 each, with no individual liability attached to the stockholders. We request all who are willing to aid us in this work to remit the amount of their subscriptions to our Treasurer, MR. LEO D. HEARTT Raleigh, N. C., and immediately upon receipt of the same a certificate for a corresponding number of shares will be issued.

H. E. FRIES, Secretary.

W. S. PRIMROSE, PRESIDENT.

Introduction.

        In presenting this pamphlet to the public we wish to say that it has never been the purpose of the North Carolina State Exposition Company to attempt, a display equal to the display made at Atlanta or Louisville. The purpose of the organization of the Company was to display the products and resources of our State, and we shall endeavor to make this the prominent feature. We desire also to have represented such machinery and implements as would interest and instruct our people, and encourage more rapid development of our resources and more improved methods of agriculture. The officers have found that there is a tendency to patronize such an Exposition, and they have already received so many applications for space that they have prepared, and herewith submit, general rules and classifications for exhibitors; giving preference to County, State, Railroad and Machinery exhibits.

Railroad and Steamship Companies.

        It is a gratifying fact to be able to present to the people of the State the favorable rates by the various Railroad and Steamship companies. The following Railroads in North Carolina have granted the following:

        "By a prepayment of the freight and a certificate from our Exposition Company that the goods were exhibited, the goods will be returned to the shipping point free of cost, and the amount prepaid will be refunded."


        Raleigh & Augusta, Raleigh & Gaston, Carolina Central, Richmond & Danville, Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line, Milton & Sutherlin Narrow Guage, the North Carolina, the Western North Carolina, the North Western North Carolina, Ducktown Branch, the State University, Cape Fear& Yadkin Valley, Atlantic Coast Line, and Albemarle & Raleigh.

        The following Railroad and Steamship Companies have given us the same favorable rates as were given to the Atlanta Exposition, viz:

        "All goods will be transported to the Exposition at usual rates, and all such articles as are brought by this line will, upon the presentation of the freight bill, or a copy of the same be returned free."

County Displays and County Combinations.

        We herewith present a list of combinations formed by counties which will make collective exhibits, and also a list of such counties as will be represented by appropriation or by individual effort, viz:

Department of Privileges.

Restaurants, Saloons, &c.
JOHN NICHOLS, CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT.

        A few privileges for restaurants, &c., will be rented for the entire time of the Exposition--October 1st to October 28th. The Executive Committee have ordered that no spirituous liquors shall be sold on the grounds; nor will any side-shows,


Page 5

of an immoral or objectionable character, or any species of gambling be permitted.

        Persons wishing to engage privileges for keeping dining saloons, cigar stands, soda and mineral water stands, privileges for selling beer, stands for sale of trinkets, &c., space for photographic tents, &c., &c., should be addressed to the Secretary, or Mr. Nichols, Raleigh, N. C., stating exactly what privileges are wanted, when a diagram of the grounds will be sent, stating upon what terms the application will be received.

Department of Installation.

A. W. SHAFFER, CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT.

        Article XIII of Rules and Information for Exhibitors reads as follows:

        " All exhibits must be entered at the office of the Chief of Department of Installation, and before unpacking or arranging articles, the permit for space must be endorsed by the Chief of the Department."


Agricultural Department.

MR. W. G. UPCHURCH, CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT.

        Several large and commodious sheds will be devoted to displays of agricultural implements and agricultural machinery. In order that the machinery may be seen in actual operation we have planted quite a portion of the ground in clover. Mr. Upchurch, the Chief of this Department, will be most happy to aid the Plow manufacturers in representing the efficient work of their Plows in this field. After the sod is turned he respectfully invites Harrow manufacturers to represent their machines in actual use, and after that a most cordial invitation is extended to the various Drill manufacturers, granting them the privilege of drilling in any kind of grain that they may prefer--either wheat, oats or rye. (See pages 2 and 3).

        III. The space granted an Exhibitor is available floor or ground space, exclusive of intervening passage between exhibits. It may be utilized in various ways as follows:

  • By placing Exhibit directly on the floor.
  • By constructing platforms or counters on which to arrange goods.
  • By erecting, show-cases in which Exhibits may be tastefully displayed.
  • By erecting ornamental columns, pillars, cones, and partitions to obtain wall space.

        IV. All platforms, counters, or ornamental partitions, show-cases and appurtenances, must be erected at the expense of the exhibitor, in proper form or design. No particular form or design is prescribed for cases, counters, &c., but they must not exceed the following heights without special permission:


Page 13

        Show-cases, 15 feet above the floor; counters, 2 feet 6 inches above the floor, on the side next to the passage-way; and platforms, 1 foot above the floor.

        V. In order to ensure the advantageous and satisfactory locations of the products, applicants desiring to erect show-cases counters or partitions, must furnish to this department a scale, drawing or tracing, showing clearly the elevation and ground plan of the same, and especially indicating the side of the cases intended to be open for inspection.

        VI. Machinery in motion must be enclosed in railings of uniform height of 2 feet 6 inches. Exhibitors of other articles will have the privilege of placing railings of approved design around the space allotted to them. All such railings must not exceed the height of 2 feet 6 inches above the floor level, and may be attached to the case by projecting brackets or be supported by posts from the floor. In every instance the floor space granted includes the area embraced by the railing. The line of the railing will be placed upon the line of the passage-way, and no railing will be allowed to project beyond the case or the counter into the passage-way.

        VII. Exhibitors desiring to display products pendant from the roof-trusses, must in each case obtain permission to that effect from the chief of the department of Installation.

        VIII. No signs will be allowed to project beyond the floor area of space allotted. The size of all signs will be subject to approval.

        IX. The avenues and aisles and passage-ways remain under the control of the Exposition Company, and trophies, decorations, portals, fountains or other special Exhibits will not be permitted in them except by special permission. Each building will be divided into divisions (see accompanying floor plans), and each division will be divided into suitable section.

        X. All Counties proposing make Exhibits are requested to make application before July 21st and Counties which do not apply before July 21st will have to take such space as may then be left. Collectors of County Exhibits are requested to exclude from their County Exhibits all displays that are purely personal in their character.


Page 14

        XI. Shafting will be hung in the Main Building over the Western Aisle in West Division, and will extend in two divisions the entire length of the west side. The portion of shafting from the centre south will run 150 revolutions per minute, and the portion from the centre north will run 200 revolutions per minute. Shafting varies in size and dimensions towards the ends. Exhibitors are requested to state with the number of horse-powers required to operate each machine.

        XII. Exhibitors' business cards, circulars and samples may be placed within, or distributed from, the exhibitor's space; but loud talking in connection with such distribution is prohibited and will not be allowed.

        XIII. Exhibits must be entered at the office of the Chief of the Department of Installation, and before unpacking or arranging articles the permit for space must be endorsed by the Chief of the Department.

        XIV. All articles arriving at the doors of the building by rail, wagon, or otherwise, will be received by the Department of Installation and delivered on the space granted. Each Exhibitor will then be expected to unpack and arrange his goods without delay.

        XV. All Exhibits must be in position and finally arranged not later than September 27. If the Secretary does not receive a bill of lading, with notice of shipment, on or before September 24th, it will be supposed that the Exhibitor is prevented from coming to the Exposition, and the space allotted to such Exhibitor will be forfeited and revert to the Secretary for re-assignment.

        XVI. All Exhibitors are required to prepay freight, and goods with freight prepaid will be taken charge of by the Department of Installation and be deposited in the allotted space. Whenever drayage is necessary, a uniform rate will be charged as follows:

TO THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS.

        Single dray from N. C. R. R. 50 cents per load, and from the Raleigh & Augusta R. R. 50 cents per load.

        Double dray, from the N. C. R. R. $1.00 per load, and a double dray from the Raleigh & Augusta R. R. $1.00.

        After goods are deposited, the Exhibitor is expected to arrange his goods as per par. XIV. All applications for space must be directed to the Secretary of the North Carolina State Exposition, Raleigh, N. C.

OPENING AND CLOSING.

        The NORTH CAROLINA STATE EXPOSITION will be held near the city of Raleigh, N. C., and will open October 1st and close October 28th, 1884.

        Applications to space and all matters concerning Exhibits must be directed to the North Carolina State Exposition, Raleigh, N. C.

APPLICATIONS--WHEN MADE.

        (a) Applications will be received at any time upon blanks furnished from this office. (b) Space will be granted to general Exhibitors on or after July 1st, 1884. (c) Space will be granted County and Railroad Exhibits on or before July 1st, 1884. [As our space is so limited Exhibitors are requested to make application not later than September 1st, 1884 and all articles are expected to be in place by September 21st, 1884.] (d) If the Society has no notice of the shipment of any exhibit by or before September 24th, the Exhibitor forfeits his space and entrance fee, and the space will revert to the Secretary for reassignment.

FEES--ENTRANCE AND GATE.

        (a) Free space will be granted County displays, displays of Schools, Academies and college, Ladies' work and agricultural products. (b) Stockholders may be granted free space not exceeding 100 square feet, if the space is wanted to display products of factories or farms, or any exhibits tending to improve the industrial interest of the State. In no case can this space be transferred. Additional space may be granted when the Stockholders have subscribed for five or more shares of stock. (c) Residents of North Carolina who are not stockholders will be charged an entrance fee of $15 for space not exceeding 60 square feet, and if more space is desired we invite correspondence. (d) General Exhibitors will be charged $25 for space not exceeding 100 square feet. If space is required we invite correspondence. When an Exhibit demands the constant attention of a person, one such person will be admitted free. Such free pass can only be used by the person named thereon. Regular Entrance Fee 50 cents; Children 12 years of age and under, 25 cts.

PAYMENTS.

        When there is an entrance fee to be paid a check for the amount must in all cases accompany the application. Exhibitors can only consider their space secured when they hold our receipt for the entrance fee and a statement of the exact location of their exhibit.

        Exhibitors must provide at their own cost all show cases, shelving, counters, fittings, &c., which they may require. All arrangements of articles and decoration must be in conformity with the general plan adopted by the Company. Special constructions of any kind within buildings or grounds can only be made upon the written approval of the President or Secretary.

FOUNDATIONS.

        We have made the floors sufficiently strong for all ordinary purposes. Exhibitors whose Exhibits require foundations of additional strength or solidity must prepare such foundations to their own expense.

INSURANCE.

        The Exposition Company will take precaution for the safe preservation of all articles exhibited; but it will not in any way be responsible for loss or damage of any kind, or accident by fire or otherwise, however originating. Favorable facilities will be arranged by which Exhibitors may insure their goods.

WATCHMEN.

        Exhibitors may employ watchmen of their own choice to guard their goods. Appointments of such watchmen will be subject to the approval of the President or Secretary.

RECEPTION AND ARRANGEMENT.

        Exhibitors or such agents as they may designate shall be responsible for receiving, unpacking and arrangement of Exhibits, as well as for their removal at the close of the Exposition. The transportation, receiving, unpacking and arranging of articles for the Exposition will be at the expense of the Exhibitor.

INSTALLATION.

        The installation of heavy articles requiring foundations should be begun as soon as progress upon the building will permit. The general reception of machinery and other heavy exhibits will commence August 15th, and the other goods September 10th. Space not occupied by September 24th will revert to the secretary for re-assignment.

UNCLAIMED GOODS.

        If no authorized person is at hand to receive goods on their arrival, and if freights on such goods are prepaid they will be taken to the Exposition building at the expense of the Exhibitor; otherwise they will remain at the Railroad station at the risk of whomsoever they may concern.

SKETCHES, &c.

        Sketches, Drawings, photographs, and other production of articles Exhibited will only be allowed upon the joint assent of the Exhibitor and the President or Secretary; but views of portions of the buildings may be made upon the sanction of the President or Secretary.

REMOVAL OF GOODS.

        The removal of goods will not be permitted prior to the close of the Exposition. Immediately after the close of the Exposition, Exhibitors must procure permission from the Secretary to remove their goods, and must complete such removal before Nov. 20th, 1884. Goods then remaining will be removed and sold for expenses or otherwise disposed of as the President or Secretary may deem advisable.

SALES AND ORDERS.

        Exhibitors will be allowed to sell goods manufactured on the grounds free; but Exhibitors who make Exhibits for the special purpose of selling goods will be charged 15 per cent on gross receipts; payment to be made to a properly authorized officer each day.

EXHIBITORS TO BE BOUND BY RULES.

        Each person who becomes an Exhibitor thereby acknowledges and undertakes to keep the rules and regulation, established for the government of the Exposition.

CATALOGUE, &c.

        An official Catalogue will be published. The sale of Catalogues is reserved for the Exposition Company.
