THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Lady Managers Views About What
North Carolina Will and Ought
to Do.
ICharlOtte Chronicle.

Mrs. Charles Price, of Salisbury, one
of the North Carolina lady managers
of the Worlds Fair, who has been IN
Raleigh attending the meeting Of the
board, returned to Salisbury yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Price, besides pos
sessing the most exquisite taste and
admirable judgment in her views and
ideas, is most jealous and indefatlgable
and her enthusiastic interest in North
Cardinals showing to be made at the
great Columbian Exposition will go
far towards making it a success.
AS noted yesterday, there was full
meeting, including two Of the lady
managers, Mrs. Price and Mrs. Cot
ten. Mrs. Kidder, unable to be pres
ent, telegraphed her regrets. She is
an active and valuable member and
her absence was much regretted.
Very favorable progress in the way OF
raising money by securing sub-com-
mittees all over the State is hoped
for by the board. In a conversation
with the Ne7os and Observer, Mrs.
Price, who is very entertaining
talker, said:
"The practical plans for the ad-
vancement of North Carolina in all of
this undertaking should appeal to each
one of US. 1t is much to be desired
| that the people who act on these COM
mittees will act in sympathy with US
who have been to Chicago and have
been enthused with the progress in
the work there and what other States
are doing"
In response 70 a question Mrs.
Price said with regard to what the
women are doing:
"Our building is already two-thlrds
completed. 1t is two hundred by four
hundred feet. We hope to have prac'
tical illustrations of the kindergarten

ain another room will be model
kitchen. Scientific men are already
engaged on bills Of fare. We are
proverbially the poorest cooks. The
French claim that they can live or
what we discard. Bellevue Hospital
the mother of trained nurses, has an
other room for demonstrating improved
methods of nursing. Another room
will be devoted to the literary pro
auctions af women. The first centu
ries will be very bare. Then we come
down later to some simple stories anc
rhymes. Then she appears in fiction
and later the well-filled shelves viii
show the world that she is part and
parcel of all the progress in literature
going hand in hand with all the dis
tinguished men in the abstruse science.
Mrs. Price hopes that employment
may be secured for ladies who are de
sirous of attending the fair, and who
would like to defray their expenses by
being guides. She assures us that the
official seals of their Board will secure
them constant employment.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, their president,
who has had such success in every en-
deavor, both in this country and
France, hopes to 60 to Mexico and en-
list their sympathies there.
The Board hopes that the news
papers throughout the State will awaken
to the importance Of ag'tating this
subject and bringing it before the peo-
pie of North Carolina, so gifted, so rich
in resources may not be tagging in the
race with her progressive sisters who
are pushing forward with all energy
and with generous appropriations.
North Carolina has secured through
her untiring and indefatigable commits
sioners an ideal space in the improved
part of Jackson Park for building, a
plan of which was submitted to this
| board.
