SIR WALTER RALEIGH STATUE.
Address of the Committee Having in
Hand the natter of Raising Funds
for This Object.

RALEIGH, n. C., Nov. 20, 1901.
DEAR SIR:-The State Literary and
Historical Association, at meeting
held in Raleigh on the 22nd Of October,
1901, appointed committee OF which
General Julian S. Carr, OF Durham, is
chairman, to devise the means for the
erection of statue to Sir Walter
Raleigh, to be erected in our capital
CITY, named in his honor.
The primary plan adopted for rails
ing the necessary funds is by penny
contributions solicited from every
child of school age in North Carolina,
as it is deemed essential that all shall
have an opportunity to give, for its
educational value to the children OF
the State.
Friday after Thanksgiving Day,
Novemb Der goth, has been fixed as the
day for the beginning Of the coilec-
tions in the various schools through
ont the State. 1t is especially desir-
able that as large a collection as pos
sble be taken up on that day. You
are earnestly requested that, i'm
mediately upon receipt OF this letter,
you communicate with every teacher
in your county, acquainting them
with the purposes and desires of the
committee and urging upon them the
necessity for adopting systematic
measures. beginning on Friday, the
| 29th, or as soon after as practical, to
secure a penny contribution by each
child of school age in your county.
The committee believes that there
will be little difficulty in raising the
fund in this way if patriotic ideas are
instilled by teachers into the minds
of the children. You have doubtless
already seen from the papers that
this movement has been received en-
Enthusiastically throughout the State,
and that number of counties have
already pledged penny each from
every child of school age within her
borders.
Mr.. Joseph G. Brown, President OF
the Citizens National Bank OF Raleigh,
is the treasurer of this fund. Send
all contributions to his address, Raj
eigh, n. G., together with, as far as
| practicable, the names Of each contri-
butor, so that they may be perpetu-
ated
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the committee in regard to Sc
curing donations from contributors
other than school children:
Resolved, That the citizens of NOrtl
Carolina are urgently requested to make
contributions to the fund for the statue
of Sir Walter Raleigh OF one dollar each
While larger contributions are desired
and will be gladly welcomed. smalle
ones will be received thankfully. Til
request is not meant to interfere with TIN
proposed general movement for penn,
contribution by the school children O
the State.
The committee desires that yo'
cooperate with other patriotic citi
zens in your county who may b
seeking to raise this fund in othe
ways.

 We were very anxious to visit the iron furnaces, coal mines and steel plants of this district, but were unable to do 80 on account of the rain, which gives no sign of stopping even now. We have visited a number of shippers and railroad officials, thus meeting some pleasant gentlemen We hope to make another visit here soon"
