A part of the original plane is preserved in the museum.

Nor must I leave the museum without mentioning the bullet-riddled hat of General W.R.Cox, and his gray military coat, with a blood-stained gash in front, where a solid shell ripped across.

General Cox's son, Mr.
Albert Cox, was with us in the museum when we stopped to look at this grim souvenir.

"It tore father open in front," he said, "spoiled a coat which had cost him $550, Confederate, and damaged his watchchain.
Nevertheless he lived to take part in the last charge at Appomattox, and the watchchain wasn't so badly spoiled but what, with the addition of some new links, it could be worn." And he showed us where the chain, which he himself was wearing at the time, had been repaired.
I must say something, also, of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, an institution doing splendid work, and doing it efficiently, both in its own buildings and through extension courses.
Fifty-two per cent.

of the students at this college earn their way through, either wholly or in part.
