COL. HARRELL PURCHASES.
He Buys the Name and Good Will of
Alfred Williams n Co.

Yesterday morning she name and
"good will' of the old firm of Alfred
Williams & Co., with many valuable
copyrights, was sold at public auction.
A large crowd was present, the ma
iority of persons having been drawn to
the store through curiosity; there were
few bidders. Both the American and
the University Book Companies were
represented and put in bids on the copy
rights and plates. The American Book
Company secured them.
Moore's School History, copyright and
plate, was first put up. The two rival
book companies were bidders for this
piece of property and it went to the
American Company for 1915.
Mrs. Spencer's first steps in North
Carolina History brought $500, Col E.
G. Harrell bidding well for it. The book
went to the American Book Company,
bid in by Mr.. Thaxton
Mr.. E. G. Harrell bid in Williams
Reader, without opposition, for $50.
For the North Carolina Speller Mr..
Thaxton and Mr.. Harrell bid The lat
ter bid it in at 81 80. Then it was dis
covered that it was only a copyright
without plates, and Mr.. Thaxton with
drew his bid Mr.. Harrell bid 1925,
and then Mr.. Thaxton, reconsidering
bid in the book at the same figure he bid
the first time. This caused a ripple of
laughter
Col. Harrell bought the North Caro-
lima Speaker for SIS. The total for the
copyrights and plates amounted to 81,
$50. All were then put up at auction,
together and sold at an upset" bid to
the American Book Company. The
price paid was 1915.
Bushels North Carolina Form Book
went to Mr.. Harrell for $15.
The name and goodwill were then sold.
Mr.. Harrell was the purchaser, paying
$510. Messrs. Williams and Haywood
bid up to that amount. The outfit and
store fixtures will be sold to day.
1t was expected that the copyright and
plates would bring a great deal more
than they did. Some of the books sold
are considered valuable.

AT THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Beautiful Office Built by the N. c. Car
Company for the s. A. l..

Although the last Legislature refused
to provide for an exhibit at the Atlanta
Exposition, yet North Carolina will not
be entirely without representation in this
great Southern fair. Much is being
done by private enterprise, by many of
the various counties and by the great
railroads of the State. Both the Sea
board and the Southern will have credit
able exhibits, showing especially the
forest and mineral wealth of the State.
The forestry exhibit made by these
roads will be especially fine, for, in the
extent and variety of its native woods,
North Carolina is perhaps the foremost
State IN the Union. It's pine lumber is
famed throughout the world for it's
beauty and variety, and fluids a ready
sale in every market. There are in the
State seven different kinds of pines, four
Of these being of commercial value.
Mr.. W. E. Ashley had these facts in
mind, and desire to have the resour-
ces of the State exhibited in the most
complete manner possible, when be de-
signed the office for the Seaboard Air
Line, which has just been completed by
the North Carolina Gar Company and
will be shipped to Atlanta to-day, to be
placed in fhe main Exposition building,
in the centre of the Seaboard's exhibit.
1t is one Of the handsomest pieces of
work of the kind ever seen here, and is
as unique in design as it Is beautiful in
finish. 1t is 18x24 feet, with a passage
running through it, and contains four
compartments, two small aud two large
ones The wood of which if is cOnstruc.
ted is North Carolina pine, finished up
smooth with white shellac and filed.
All four of the commercial pines of the
State are used in its construction. The
posts are of Rosemary pi1e, taken from
the sills of the old Haywood mansion,
which, until recently, stood at the cor
ner of Blount and EIDE ton streets, on the
site of the Baptist Female University.
The lower panels are made of long leaf
pine, flat grain, and the upper ones of
curly pine. The rest of the wood work
is short leaf or pitch pine. This distribu-
ton also presents a pleasing variety of
color. The Rosemary and pitch pines are
a rich red, while the curly and long leaf
pines are of lighter hue The whole
structure. presents the appearance, at a
casual glance, of having been built of
several totally diffe' ent kinds of wood.
This Office will be used for the enter
tainment of the friends of the Seaboard
road, for business connected with their
exhibit and for the distribution of litera-
ture setting forth the advantages of
North Carolina and the South to immi-
grants. 1t will be sent to Atlanta to day.
