PLAGES 0F INTEREST IN AND AB80T 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 cily 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 hand-some,
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 :
I. The Capitol building, including the Halls of the Senate and House of
Representatives, the State Library, rooms of the Supreme Court and State
officials. The view from the top of the Capitol is very fine, overlooking a
complete surrounding of good farms and fine forests.
2. The building of the State Agricultural Department, including the rooms
of the Commissioner, Hon. M. McGehee, the Chemical Laboratory, the Fish
Department, and the State Museum.
3. The U. S. Government building, containing the Circuit Court room, the
rooms of public officials and the Post Office.
4. The Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, (White.)
5. The Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, (Colored.)
6. The Insane Asylum, three-quarters of a mile southwest from the Capitol,
a handsome building, well equipped in all respects.
7. The State Penitentiary, a very handsome, substantial and secure building,
one-half mile west from the Capitol.
8. Oakwook Cemetery,—one of the finest inland locations for a cemetery
in the South, and containing many beautiful monuments. (East suburb.)
9. The National Cemetery, southeast suburbs.
10. The Peace Institute for Young Ladies.
II. St. Mary's Institute for Young Ladies.
12. The Shaw University—Colored Normal.
13. The Fish Hatchery, one mile north from Capitol.
14. Some of the good stock farms near Raleigh.
15. The Ice Factory.
16. The Exposition grounds and buildings, \ l/2 miles west from the Capitol.

Raleigh, N. C, June 19th, 1884.
At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the North Caro-lina
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 suffi-cient
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 certifi-cate
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 pro-ducts
and resources of our State, and we shall endeavor to
make this the distinctly prominent feature. We desire also
to have represented such machinery and implements as
would interest and instruct our people, and encourage a
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 Com-pany
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, Caroliua Central,
Richmond & Danville, Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line, Mil-ton
& Sutherlin Narrow Guage, the North Carolina, the
Western North Carolina, the North Western North Carolina,
Ducktown Branch, the State University, Cape Fear & Yad-kin
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 At-lanta
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."

It may be
utilized in various
ways as follows:
By placing Exhibit

By constructing
platforms or counters
on which to arrange
goods.
By erecting show-cases
in which Ex-hibits
may be taste-fully
displayed.
By erecting orna-mental
columns, pil-lars,
cones and par-titions
to obtain wall
space.
IV. All platforms,

partitions,
show-cases and ap-purtenances,

following heights without special permission :
Show-cases, 15 feet above the floor ; counters, 2 feet G inches
