NUMEROUS AWARDS
/ IN THE FLORAL HALL
MADE BY THE JUDGES
A BULL DURHAM QUILT A FEA.
TURE IN THE TEXTILE DE-
PARTMENT.
Good WORK OF MISS HENDERSON
The Superior Quality and Number OF
Fruit Exhibit a Noticeable Feature
While the Culinary Work Was Of
Higher Order Than Usual.

In the womans department of thu
floral hall the entries were numerous
though the individual displays in tina
portion of the building were smaller
than usual In the textile depart
ment there were many admiral pieces
of woman's handiwork with the need
lie and in drawn thread work, bu
there were none, however, that at
tracted more attention than the quill
made by Mrs. Rawls. This curiosity
was pieced entirely from Bull Dur
ham tobacco sacks, these having beer
ripped open, hand dyed and hand
sewed. There were several hundred
sacks, colored in yellow and brown
and worked into fence row of col
ors. There was much comment on
the quilt and the excellence Of the
needle work, the uniformity of the
colors in the dyeing process, and the
novel manner in which the patch.
work of pieces were gathered.
In the fruit canning, preserving and
culinary department there were some
unusual developments In this de-
partment there were more than two
thousand articles, some of them be-
ing entered in collections which re-
quired judging only as collection
and not individually. But with all
this the judges passed upon 1,036 arti-
cles during Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning, and when the
work was completed 1t was a matter
Of but little trouble in the detail work
to get 1t In shape for publication,
the way of systematizing the entries
In their proper class having been 30
thoroughly and efficiently done by
Miss Charlotte Henderson at the be-
ginning that it was but the work OF
q moment to turn to any department
or any class and see at glance the
exact condition Of that class or de-
partment, and too much cannot be
said of the faithful and efficient work
of Miss Henderson and her corps Of
assistants.
