Exposition Experts Here!
Eminent Officials Of the State Board Of Agriculture
Collecting Specimens for the
Fruit Exhibit at the Charleston Exposition !
An Interesting Outline Of its Leading Features.

Secretary of the Department OF
Agriculture +. X. Brlner, State En-
tomologist Franklin Sherm n, Jr.,
and Curator of the State Museum
H. H. Brimley were the members
of most interesting scientific
party which visited Southern
Pines last Saturday. They were
here for the purpose Of collecting
specimens and making photo
graphs Of our orchard, vineyard,
and agricultural products for ex-
hibition at the South Carolina,
West Indies, and Interstate Ex-
position, to be held at Charleston,
S. c., December l, 1901 to June
], 1902. Incidentally, they gave
some attention to the study of
diseased fruit, the San Jose scale,
and similar subjects. The major
part Of their time, however, was
given to selecting specimens of
the different fruits. with a vi4w to
preserving them, in original form
for exhibition, and to making pho
,ographs OF sectional views Of
orchards, individual trees, etc., in
order that visitors to the ex-
position may get comprehensive
idea of the fruit growing industry
in this section of the state. South
ern Pines has been selected to re
present the sand belt district OF
the commonwealth. The j. Van
Lindley orchards were selected as
representative on account of the
extent Of the place and the album
dance of its varieties. Dozens of
specimens and dozens more of
photographs were secured by the
party and Southern Pines will
have no mean share in the state
exhibit.
The gentlemen ofthe party gave
the FREE PRESS some very interest
ing information as to the eX-
position generally and the North
State exhibit particularly. The
exposition grounds consist of a
100 acre park on the Ashley river,
lust on the outskirts of Charleston.
! he place is now in the hands ct
the workmen; groves have been
planted; the frames of most of the
buildings have been erected; and
the staff makers are now at work
on the sculpture and decorations.
The avenues and walks have all
been Handicapped" and great taste
and skill has been shown in their
arrangements as we'll as in the
designing and locating of the
various buildings. The space
secured by Secretary Braner and
Curator Brimley for the North
Carolina exhibit comprises 1000
square feet, including and sur

past Is years. He made exhibits
in Boston, 1888, in Raleigh, 1884,
in New Orleans, 1885, in Atlanta,
the second time, 1895, in Omaha,
1898, in Chicago, 1898, in Paris,
1900, and is now working for the
Charleston exposition Of 1901
1902. He and the other gentle
men of the party sincerely regret
ted that inclement weather and
limited time prevented their max
ing more extensive visit in this
section but they are anxious to Sc
cure specimens from everybody
that are suitable for exhibition. In
this connection, Secretary Bruner
says:
"Any one having anything Of in
terest in the way OF extra choice
product of field or farm, is most
cordially invited to correspond
with Commissioner Of Agriculture
S. L. Patterson, with Curator
Brimley or myself. The exhibit
will be serious presentation of
the natural resources, agricultural
and trucking conditions of the
state. Curios will not BIZ taken,
as the state can derive no benefit
from the exhibition Of such arti-
cles. Farmers, truckers, and lum-
bermen are particularly requested
to present, through the Board of
Agriculture's exhibit, any Of their
fine products"

minerals: mica, tale. monazite,
zircon, corundum, etc.; 400 to 500
cut gems; and a large collection OF
gold, silver and copper nuggets,
free metal as taken from the
ground. This exhibit will occupy
the circular center booth or ex-
hibit stand, directly in front of the
main entrance to the building.
The Agriculture exhibit will
comprise large collection of
grains in sheaf, wheat, oats, rye,
barley, corn, buckwheat, peas,
beans, and forage crops and seeds
of all kinds.
In the Horticulture exhibit will
be shown under glass all vege-
tables, small fruits and tree fruits
of the state. An attractive fea-
ture of this exhibit will be con-
tinuous apple show. From the
opening until the close of the ex-
position the tables will be kept
filed with fresh green fruit.
Every exhibit in all departments
will be supplemented by a large
series of interesting photographs
and the whole will be in charge Of
an attendant who is thoroughly in
formed on the resources and wealth
of the state, This work will
doubtless fall, at the beginning at
least, to Secretary Bruner and
Curator Brimley, who have done
and are doing the gigantic work
of preparing the state exhibit.
They are both exposition experts
and have had extensive experience
in the work, so that the people OF
the state can depend on having
it's resources and advantages we'll
presented to the thousands of
visitors who will attend the big
show.
Secretary Bruner began exposi-
work at Atlanta in 1881 and has
been the exposition agent Of the

PLANETS AND STARS.
Short Days and Long Nights Feature

Short Days and Long Nights Feature of December.
 The month of December will bring to close the interesting series of plane- tary groupings which have beautified the evening sky for so many weeks. Jupiter and Saturn will move farther and farther away from each other, not to meet again for 20 years. Venus will soon rettrace her steps, but not in sea- son to vertake her sister planets. Be- fore, howver, they finally separate, the planets Mars, which has been a quiet spectator of recent planetary movements, will join the company. A new series of groups is formed, but so low down in the southwest that only the careful watcher will behold them. Mars, moving rapidly eastward. over takes Saturn on the 14th and Jupiter on the 17th, passin gthe former l degree and the latter 1s degree southward. The three planets may be seen from 5. to 5:30 D. m. nearing the southwestern horizon. Mars will be below the other two and be very much fainter. The crescent moon passes the group on the 18th, it's path lying about 5 degree farther north. A very pretty stellar picture will be pre- sented on that evening and on the two following, as the moon hastens toward the brilliant Venus.
 Venus is left alone as evening star and increases in brilliancy as if the light of her rival planets had been add ed to her own. AS the month advances. she seems more and more the queen of Che heavens, coming to adorn the holi- day season.

PHINEAS T. BARNUM DEAD.

Stationer Whose Mail Used to Get Mix
 ed With That of Namesake the Show Man.
 The following notice in New}York pa pers yesterday attracted much atten- ton, says last evenings New York Mail and Fvcress:-
 BARNUM.-At his residence, 339 East 6od street, Phineas Taylor Barnum. Funeral services at the house Friday night, at 8 o'clock. Members of Howard lodge, No 35. r and A. M, are requested to be present Members of the several lodges of the Fourth Masonic district, are invited to be present. Interment private.
 The notice refers to the death of Phineas Taylor Barnum the son of a second cousin of the famous snowman, and his namesake, who died at his home 939 East Sixty-second street, of Bright S at 3S Park place
 During the lifetime of the big show man, the Phineas Taylor Barnum, who has just died used frequently to get mail which was addressed to his name sake. oddly mixing up the details of his stationery business with advces of consignments of wild animals from Af- rica and India, and with offers of ser vice from acrobats and tight-rope danc- CTS.
 Tt was his fortune to meet the elder Barnum in Bridgeport, Conn.,, where the snowman had his headquarters. The latter had also had his troubles with the mails, asking why printing ordered had not been sent, and with other details foreign to his business, so he asked:
 "'Why don't you call yourself, P. Taylor Barnum; then there will be no trouble with the letters?'
 But MT. Barnum said he had an ob- jection to parting with any portion of his name, and i'll order to prevent con- fusion he adopted the title of Phineas Taylor Barnu1n, second.
 "He leaves wife and one son, Phin- eas Taylor Barnum, third, in moderate circumstances"

novelist, Winston Churchill, is now hard
at work on a dramatization of "The

his English namesake, the late Sir Ran
