WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION
OFFICIAL REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
By resolution and instruction of the Executive Com-mittee
of the Board of World's Fair Managers the follow-ing
members visited Chicago for the purpose of examin-ing
the North Carolina exhibits: Dr. W. R. Capehart,
Avoca, Bertie county ; J. B. Coffield, Everett, Martin
county; J. F. Payne, Alma, Robeson county, and H. E.
Fries, Salem, Forsyth county. Col. W. F. Green, of Frank-linton,
Franklin county, and Mr. W. E. Stevens, Clinton,
Sampson county, were detained on account of sickness in
their respective families.
The committee arrived in the city on Saturday evening,
July 8th, and on Monday, 10th instant, proceeded to the
Fair grounds for the purpose of examining the various
exhibits, which were formally tendered by Mr. P. M. Wil-son,
Executive Commissioner, and Mr. T. K. Bruner, Com-missioner
of Exhibits. The committee constantly bore in
mind the fiict that North Carolina had a very small appro-priation
with which to exhibit the resources of our State.
We now more fully than ever realize the wisdom of the
decision made bv the gentlemen in charge of the North
Carolina exhibit relative to the State building. Our com-mittee
appreciates the immense work done by the follow-ing
North Carolina ladies in their efforts to erect for the
State a separate building, namely: Mrs. S. S. Cotten, of
