THE FAIR WILL BE FORMALLY OPENED ON
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1899
AT 12 o'clock noon, by
Mis Excellency DANIEL L. RUSSELL,
GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA,
ASSISTED BY THE PRESIDENT AND EX-PRESIDENTS OF THE SOCIETY.
SUPERVISORS WILL RECEIVE THE BOOKS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AWARDING JUDGES AT TEN
O'CLOCK WEDNESDAY MORNING.
NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS.
Exhibitors must have their respective exhibits in place and ready for the
Committees when they call to make their examinations.
Read carefully this rule, touching all exhibits: "Exhibits not in place, and
fully installed by 12 o'clock Tuesday, October 17, will receive no attention
whatever from the Awarding Committees or Experts."
Exhibitors must make themselves acquainted ivith the prize lists and reg-ulations,
and he sure in what classes and departments their entries belong.
The original entry card must in all cases be attached to the exhibit, except
in cases of animals, when the card may be placed conspicuously upon the
stall or pen.
No article will be entered in more than one Department, except where
otherwise provided. This rule applies to all exhibits, except those in Speed
Department.
Exhibitors will not be allowed to sell goods during the Fair (though they
may receive and book orders), nor will they be permitted to call attention
to their wares in any noisy or disorderly manner.
Exhibits that have been erroneously entered may be transferred by apply-ing
to the Superintendent of Entries, before 12 o'clock noon, the second day
of the Fair. If, however, such classes have been judged, they shall not be
reopened.
Persons entering live stock to be exhibited in the ring or on the track will
be expected to have their stock ready when ordered, and if not brought in
promptly may be excluded from examination.
No animal or article will be allowed to leave the show grounds until after
five o'clock on Friday, this being a cor^dition of the entry Transgressions
against this rule will incur forfeiture of any premiums aivarded.
The Society makes no charges for space, and, except in special instances,
exacts no entrance fees; but ten per cent of all premiums aggregating five
dollars or over awarded by the Soidetv will be retained as entrance fees,
except where entrance fees are specifically charged. This is a liberal policy
towards exhibitors, as no one will be required to pay unless they are
awarded a premium.

INTRODUCTION.
You will be cordially welcomed at the Thirty-ninth Annual State Fair, held
by the North Carolina Agricultural Society.
Through the valued assistance of the State Board of Agriculture, Col. Jno.
S. Cuningham, President, the cash premiums have been handsomely
increased, especially for agricultural products and live stock, and the accom-modations
for poultry improved. Regular trains to the grounds from Union
depot, and electric cars on five-minute scnedule. Streets and roads are
well macadamized leading to the grounds, and buildings, track, etc., prepared
for one of the most extensive exhibits ever seen in the State.
PRIVATE SALES.
Exhibitors will be permitted to mark "For Sale" any article exhibited,
after the Judges have made their awards; but if any article is so marked
before the awards have been made, it will ba ruled out and uot permitted to
compete for premiums. And no article for which a premium has been
awarded will be allowed to be removed until the close of the Fair, without
special permission of the Superintendent in charge. A violation of this
rule will justify a forfeiture of premium.
RAILROAD RATES, ETC.
The railroads have promised to give us the very lowest rates possible,
and we are sure that they will be so reasonable that no one can object.
Full freight rates will be charged on all exhibits from shipping point to
Raleigh. Exhibits will be i-eturned to shipping point free of charge when
accompanied by a certificate from the Secretary to the effect that they were
properly entered and exhibited at the Fair. This provision does not apply
to racing stock.
RACES.
The large and increasing interest in the development of thoroughbred
harness and trotting norses in the State now insures the possibility of having
a large field of fine and speedy horses. Great satisfaction was given in this
department last year, and no effort will be spared to make the programme
of 1899 still more effective.
Classes, programmes and purses will be furnished on application. The
track has been in use more than twenty-five years, and is one of the best in
the country. Address
Joseph E. Pogue.
Secretary.
SPECIAL.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Agricul-tural
Society, held in the City of Raleigh, July 19, 1898, the following reso-lutions
were adopted, and the Secretary was directed to have the same pub-lished
for 1898, and to give them special prominence:
I. The Executive Committee has authorized the letting of only such privi-leges
as are required to satisfy the necessary wants of the people, or that may
add to their comfort, convenience and pleasure, but under no circumstances
will privileges of a questionable nature or of a demoralizing tendency be sold,
or in any manner tolerated on the grounds or in the buildings, nor will any
privilege be sold or permitted, where the business is conducted in any
other than a legitimate, decent manner.
II. All dining halls, lunch booths, refreshment pavilions and other stands
must be kept neat and tasty in appeai'ance, and supplied with wholesome
food and pure, honest goods, for sale to the people at reasonable prices. The

INTRODUCTION. 9
Executive Committee will carefully guard against extortion in any form
being practiced on the patrons of the Fair, and any such attempts will for-feit
to privilege holders all rights on the grounds.
III. The Executive Committee will not sell or grant to any person or per-sons
the privilege of selling, dealing or bartering in spirituous, vinous or
malt liquors on the Fair Grounds or in any of the buildings or booths during
the holding of the annual Fair.
IV. No privilege shall be sold, granted, or in any manner tolerated for the
operation or exhibition on the grounds or in any of the halls, buildings or
booths, of any gambling device, lotterj^ or games of chance of any character
whatever.
Renters will note that any business, trade or occupation that is in violation
of the above will be rigidly excluded, and violation after admission will be
punished by iorfeiture of privilege and ejectment from grounds.
Renters who pay as much as ten dollars for their privilege will be given
one admission ticket, good for the week, and for each additional charge of
ten dollars, or fraction not less than five dollars, one extra ticket, and no
more.
The above was re-adupted August 3;]. 1899.

11. No article or animal will be entitled to space until the proper entry
has been made. After an article or animal has been entered for a premium,
it can not be removed until the close of the Fair without permission from
the Secretary or the Supervisor in charge of the department; and if any per-son
removes an article or an animal without such permission he forfeits all
claims to a premium, even if the same shall have been awarded.
12. Each department will be under the special charge of its Director. He
will oversee the arrangement of all articles offered for exhibition in his
department, a"d have control of the space assigned to it. He will be
assisted in his duties by a special superintendent, who will receive all
exhibits, take personal charge of them, countersign the exhibitor's coupons,
and deliver the articles on the surrender of the countersigned coupons at
the close of the Fair.
13. The exhibition of articles not mentioned in the Premium List Is
solicited. These will be assigned to proper departments, displayed to vis-itors,
and reported on by the judges.
14. The Executive Committee reserves the right to withhold premiums in
any case in which it shall appear to them that the regulations have not been
complied with, or that fraud or deception has been practiced or attempted.
15. There will be a free Bureau of Information at the main office, where all
questions will be cheerfully answered.
16. Exhibitors must provide, at their own cost, all show-cases, shelvings,
counters, fittings, etc., which they may require.

evening for admission tickets to the grounds next morning.
22. No person will be permitted to remain on the grounds over night,
except those holding permits, which must be feecured from the Secretary.
23. SPECIAL RULE.—The Society makes no charges for space,
and, except in special instances, exacts no entrance fees ; but ten
per cent of all premiums aggregating five dollars or over awarded by
the Society will be retained as entrance fees, except where entrance
fees are specifically charged. This is a liberal policy towards ex-hibitors,
as no one will be required to pay unless they are awarded
a premium.
ENTRIES.
24. The entry-books will be open at the office of the Secretary of the
Society, in the City of Raleigh, from September 15th to and including the
Friday next before Fair Week, and at the Secretary's office at the Fair
Grounds on Saturday and until 12 o'clock m. on Tuesday, when all entries
will close. Much trouble and annoyance may be avoided by observing this
regulation.
25. Entries may be made in person or by person. In making entries it will
be necessary to give the name of the article, the name and postoffice address
of the exhibitor and the premium number under which the article entered
is to compete. This is especially necessary, in order that the article may be
properly entered.
26. All articles which are the product of the soil must be entered
in the name of the producer. Those showing handiwork or skill must
be entered in the name of the one whose skill they exhibit. Such
may be individuals, firms or factories. They must have been made
within three years, and not exhibited at any former Fair of this
Society. All other property must be entered in the name of the
actual owner. Any violation of this rule will bar the violator from
competing for any premium whatever, and render him and his exhibit
liable to expulsion from the grounds.
27. In case special facilities for meritorious exhibits are required, such
entries shall be made before October 1st. Any person may enter as many dif-ferent
articles as he or she may own, in any department.
28. The same article or animal can not compete for the premiums of two
or more premium numbers, except when otherwise stated in the head-notes
of the department in which it is exhibited.
29. All entries will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class, and corresponding tags will be issued, which must be
attached to the exhibit before such can be placed on exhibition.
:^0. Contrary to tlie cust<ims of most ag:ricultural societies, the Society has de-cided
that the names of all exhibitors shall l)e placed on the cards attached to the
articles on exhibition, except in Department E, Department H, and Department I, as
to do otherwise deprives the exhibitors of one of the main features of these ex-hibitions,
viz.: advertisino-.
31. No person will be allowed to see the entries or have access to the
entry-books until after the awards have been made.
32. All entries shall be for the first premium of the premium number
18 REGULATIONS.
under which they are entered; but, failing to take the first, shall compete
for the second, if a second is offered; and failing to take the second, shall
compete for the third, if any; but shall not be awarded more than one pre-mium
under the same premium number.
33. Exhibitors must see to the proper delivery of articles and live stock
on the grounds, and to the proper care of the latter, as no charges for
transportation or drayage will be paid by the Society.
EXHIBITS.
34. The grounds will be in readiness for the reception of exhibits any time
during Thursday, Friday and Saturday preceding the Fair, but no exhibits
will be received Sunday, except live stock from a distance that may have been
delayed in coming. Neither will exhibitors be permitted to make any
arrangements on that day, except such as the Superintendent may deem
necessary.
35. Articles and animals provided with the required entry-tags will be
assigned places by Superintendents of Departments until Tuesday, October
17, at 12 o'clock m., after which no more will be received in departments
where premiums are offered, except in classes where perishable goods are
entered.
36. All animals must be exhibited in such places and at such times as the
Superintendent in charge of such shall direct, in accordance with the official
programme.
37. Any and all articles obnoxious or repulsive in their character shall be
excluded from the grounds, or if entered without being fully known, shall
be removed at once.
38. Ladies from a distance desiring to exhibit textile fabrics may ship
their, goods to the Secretary, but in no case will he or the Society be respon-sible
for any loss, damage or breakage. Goods so shipped must be directed
to the Secretary, "Main Gate, Fair Grounds," and must arrive not later than
Monday, October 16th. No package loUl be accepted unless freight is prepaid.
Special notice is hereby given thai none but textile goods and art work
can be consigned to the Secretary for exhibition or competition.
39. Exhibitors will be required to keep their space and stalls in a cleanly
condition, by removing therefrom any filth or litter, and place it in front of
said space or stall, where the scavenger force of the Society may get to it
with ease.
40. Should any person misrepresent his exhibit and a premium be awarded
upon it, such premium may be withheld by the Executive Committee.
41. SPECIAL NOTICE.—Read carefully this rule as touching all
exhibits: Exhibits not in place, and fully installed by 12 o'clock
Tuesday, October 17, will receive no attention whatever from the
Awarding Committees or Experts.
ibis is but just to both exhibitors and management—more so to exhibitors.
The prime object of all exhibits is to show them to the public. Provision
is made for, and exhibitors should have, five full days in which to do this.
The management should fulfill its pledges to give four days' exhibition.
Exhibitors can have the use of halls and grounds for any reasonable
number of days preceding opening day proper in which to place their
exhibits. There is no good reason for delay. Hence it is repeated, this rule
will be rigidly enforced "for the good of all concerned."
PREMIUMS.
42. A premium ribbon is a badge of merit, and in no case
should it be attached to article or animal where meritorious
qualities are lacking.
43. The premiums are designated by ribbons: blue mean-ing
first, red second, and white third premium. These rib-bons
will be attached only by the Director of each Depart-ment,
or his Superintendent, after Judges or Committees
have made their awards and the same have been approved
by the Director.
REGULATIONS. 19
44. The Society deems its diploma or medal to possess
value equal to cash premium of not less than ten dollars.
The exhibitor entitled to a prize equal to that amount will
be at liberty to commute a money premium for a diploma or
medal, but not the award of a diploma or medal into a
money premium.
45. Premiums are payable thirty days after the close of
the Pair, and if not claimed by the first day of February,
1900, will be regarded as donated to the Society.
46. Medals and diplomas will be delivered at any time
between November 1 and December 31, 1899.
INSTRUCTIONS TO SUPERINTENDENTS.
47. No Superintendent of Department will be permitted to employ help
without written authority of the President or Secretary, and the Fair Asso-ciation
will not become responsible for the pay of help employed without
such written authority. An order for all supplies must be obtained from
the Secretary or Assistant Secretary.
48. Superintendents of Departments will be in attendance from 8 a. m. to 6
p. m., at their respective posts on the grounds, Monday, October 16 to Sat-urday,
October 21, inclusive. They will have exhibits promptly placed, and
departments must be in complete order by 12 m., Tuesday, October 17.
49. They will receive all property entered for exhibition and see that the
tags are securely attached, and place and arrange such property in a suitable
and attractive manner.
50. If erroneous entries are made they will make the necessary correc-tions,
or cause such to be made in the official entry-books.
51. Superintendents will point out to the Judges of Award the articles
or animals to be inspected, and cause the same to be displayed in their
proper places and at the proper time.
52. They will see that order and decorum are observed in their depart-ments,
and that property is protected against damage and loss by accident
or otherwise.
53. They will also see that no property is removed before the appointed
time, and that the checks are detached from the tags of property when
removed, as a means to prevent fraud or mistakes by such removal.
JUDGES.
54. The Society reserves the right to use either the single
or thr^e judge system, or both, during the Fair of 1899.
Special care will be taken to secure the best and most com-petent
judge or judges for the various departments that
can be had.
55. The Judges of Awards, when ready for duty, shall
be furnished by the Secretary with a list of all entries in
their respective departments, and books in which their
awards are to be recorded.
56. Should any of Judges previously selected fail to be
present, the Director of each Department is authorized to
select others to fill the vacancies, always endeavoring to
select persons duly qualified by their pursuits or experience
to make correct awards in each special department. In
all cases the Judges, before awarding any premium, will
be careful to see that the requirements of the Premium
List have been strictly complied with by the exhibitor.
57. No person directly or indirectly interested will be
allowed to serve as a Judge, and the Executive Committee
will quash the awards in every case when a person interested
has acted as Judge; nor shall a member of the Executive
Committee act as Judge or umpire, under any circumstances.
20 REGULATIONS.
58. Judges are specially instructed not to award premiums to any
animal or article because of its presence, it nriuci be iniiividually
worthy. It is not the policy of the Society to encourage indifferent
productions of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among
exhibitors, and no premium should be awarded to any animal or arti-cle
that does not possess high intrinsic merits.
59. When two subjects of the same kind presented for
premiums are deemed by the Judges of equal merit, and also
of such high degree that to either, if alone, the premium
would be awarded, in such case the award must be to divide
the first and second premiums equally between the two com-petitors;
or, in case there shall have been no second premium
offered, then divide the first only in like proportion.
( 0. The Director in charge and the Special Superintendent sliall
attend the Judges when making tlie examination in tlieir re-spective

premiums. The awards, when completed, sliall be signed by tlie
Judges, and also by the Director, who will take charge of the
book and return it to the Secretary. As the awards are made,
the Director or his Superintendent will attach the ribbon indi-cating
the award.
61. Decisions of Judges shall be final, and no appeal will
be considered except in cases of protest in writing, with
strong evidence of fraud or violation of the rules of the
Society, which may be filed with the Secretary before the
premiums have been presented.
62. Reports must be signed by each Judge in his own hand.
63. Judges cannot award premiums to articles not in the regular
Premium List, but may make recommendations and file these with the
Secretary, who will present them to the Executive Committee.

See that your entry tags are properly made out and securely placed in a con-spicuous

RULES GOVERNING JUDGES.
Judges on sheep are expressly instructed that it is their duty, in every case, to
require from each exhibitor in lots of pure breeds satisfactory evidence of purity
of breeding, as claimed ; and Judges, when awarding a premium in any such
lots, will be understood to say by such award that (in their opinion) the animals
receiving the premium are, beyond a reasonable doubt, purely bred as claimed.
They are further instructed that if they shall have good reason to believe that
any exhibitor, by false entry or otherwise, attempts to deceive the Judges or the
public, and obtain a pi'emium by misrepresentation, they shall report the fact at
once to th'- Superintendent of the Sheep Department, who shall immediately in-struct
the Judges that such exhibitor is henceforth excluded from competition
at this Fair.
All ewes three years old and over shall have raised a lamb this season.
All sheep offered for competition must be accompanied with an affidavit to the
elTect that they have been shorn since April 1, 1899, and the date of shearing
must be given.

thought by the most eminent teachers of the South. Every

Note.—Please read carefully, as marnj changes have been made in this Depart-ment.
Rule 1.—The American Revised Standard of Perfection will be the guide of
the Judges in awarding premiums on the printed list.
Rule 2.—Unless there are two entries in each class of Cocks. Hens, Cockerels
and Pullets, first premium money will be withheld, but first honor given. No
specimen will be awarded a first prize that does not score 90 points. No pre-mium
awarded a specimen scoring less than Ho p ints.
Rule 8. —Competition is open only to North Carolina breeders, and all speci-mens
exhibited must be the property <>f the exhibitor. Any attempt to evade
this rule will exclude all specimens entered by offending party from competing.
Rule 4.—Positively no fowls can be entered for competition after noon Tuesday,
October 1 7tli.
Rule 5. — All specimens will this year be classified, eacli breed grouped. No
deviations from this rule for any one.
Rule 6.—It is especially desired that entries shall embrace no less than five
birds of any breed : for the new coops it is obligatory ; any one or more of which
may be entered for award. For instance, the entry may be for award on cocks,
cockerel, hen or iiullet. or for all of them.
The reason for tins change is that the .Agricultural Society has gone to the
expense of putting in uniform wire c tops. 3 x 8 feet each, and as these coops are
large the requirement of not le>s tlian five birds to the pen will prevent an empty
appearance of the pens and give visitors a better idea of the beauty of the fowls.
There are also provided some extra large pens for those breeders who desire to
show flocks of turkeys, geese, ducks or chickens, when such are shown of one
breed and in- lots of ten or more
Rule 7.— For tlie benefit of beginner-; we append the recognized t;erms: Cock,
a male .specimen hatched prior to 1899; Cockerel, a male specimen hatched
during 1899 : Hen, a female specimen hatched prior to 1899; Pullet, a female
specimen, hatched during 1899.
Exhibitors ne d not accompany their fowls. When addressed to Director
Poultry Department, State Fau*. Raleigh, N. C., with express or freight charges
prepaid, they will receive proper atteiition and be returned to owners at close of
Fair.
Attach numbered leg-bands to each fowl entered for competition, then the
score cards which will be sent with each exhibit wdl be of service.
The Society will feed and coop free all specimens sent.
Make your entries very plain and send early to the Secretary. Do not depend
on the Director to make them for you after they arrive, for it will not be done.
No entrance fee is charged.
The Society will not be responsible fo- loss from auy cause whatever, but best
of care and attention will be given.
Potash.
PARMERS should know its
value and its importance
in a fertilizer to be applied to
their grain crops.
Our illustrated books which
tell what Potash is, how it
should be used, and how much
Potash a well-balanced fertil-izer
should contain, are sent
free to all applicants. Send

LIMESTONE COLLEGE
GAFFNEY, j^^^ SOUTH CAROLINA.
Founded
in 1845.
'T'HIS institution, famous in the history of education in South Carolina, has
recently been thoroughly reorganized, and now, with a large and able
Faculty, is prepared to do college work of the very highest grade. Nearly
$20,000 have been appropriated for improvements. A splendid new building is
being erected which will contain a large Auditorium, a Library, a Reading-
Room, a Museum of Natural Science, a beautiful hall for the Literary Society,
and some needed offices The building will be furnished with new heating
apparatus throughout, all the rooms will be supplied with new furniture, new
pianos will be purchased, new physical, chemical and mineralogical laborato-ries
will be equipped—in short, everything that is necessary in the work of a
first-class Woman's College will be provided. The site is unequaled in South
Carolina for beauty and for healthfulness. Limestone College makes its appeal
to the people strictly on its own merits. Literary, Scientific and Commercial
Courses. The regular college degrees are given by the authority of the State
of South Carolina. An especially fine course in Pedagogy is offered to those
desiring to become teachers. There are three Departments—the College, the
Seminary and the Primary. Let Limestone's friends and former students tell
the news all over the South.
The revered Capt. H. P. Griffith is the Senior Professor. Prof. WadeR.
Browx, recently of Winthrop College, is the new Professor of Music.

Read the rules carefully and comply strictly.
All entries in Fruit and Vegetable classes must be made by the growers,
and all fruits must be of State growth. All entries in Manipulated Fruit
and Vegetable classes must be by those who manipulated the same.
Entries in Tool and Package classes may be by manufacturer or retailer,
and need not be of State manufacture. Entries in Nursery class open to
State-grown plants only.
"Plates of fruit" means that the fruit is to be placed upon wooden plates,
which will be furnished by the Secretary. Each plate is to contain six speci-mens,
and no more. Each plate of fruit must be plainly and correctly
named, and the entry tag attached to the same, so that the entry can be
identified by the committee without diflficulty. Plates entered for the single
plate premiums are all to be arranged by themselves, and not mixed up with
those entered for general collections. A premium offered for a general
collection of fruit will not be awarded to a mere pile of apples or other fruit,
but must be for a real collection, arranged on plates of six each and all cor-rectly
labelled, and no fruit will be counted in a collection unless it is a fair
specimen of the variety. No trashy fruit of any kind will be counted merely
to make up a collection. A premium for the best collection of grapes,
peaches, or any other fruit, will not be awarded to a mere number, but to
the quality of the exhibit mainly. Brandies and wines must be in sealed
and neatly labelled bottles. The committee will withhold premiums in any
case where there is no competition and the article is of inferior quality, and
no second premium will be given solely because there is no other exhibit
but the two, but all fruits must be of good quality. No attention will be
paid by the committee to any fruit or other exhibit that is not arranged in
accordance with these rules. The awards for fruits will be made on the
afternoon of the second day of the Fair, and all not then in place will be left
out. No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the committee, or
to interfere in any way while the committee is at work. If the exhibits
are not so arranged that the committee can find all without help, they will
be left out in the award. To avoid all unnecessary walking to and fro on
the part of the judges, the fruit exhibits must be arranged in consecutive
space near together, and not scattered about the buildings. The same rule
will apply to the exhibits of bottled liquors and canned goods.
In the exhibits of exotic plants in pots, the plants competing for each
premium must be arranged by themselves, as the judges will not hunt
among a mass of plants to find the ones competing for special premium,
and no plants in the professional class will be awarded a premium, unless it
is a well-grown specimen of its kind. The premium for the twelve best cut
roses is held to mean twelve varieties, each in a separate bottle, with label
attachea giving the correct name of the variety. In the premium for the
best and largest assortment of cut flowers, each variety must be shown in a
separate bottle of water, or other vessel, to show them properly and keep
them fresh, and no notice will be taken of collections loosely thrown on the
tables. In the premiums for the best bouquet, basket and floral design,
attention will be given as much, or more, to the tasteful arrangement than
to the particular kinds of flowers used.
