FRIDAY. Jl'l.Y 13. 1953.
RainenufToryu? .
It's Friday, the Thirteenth.
Anything gone wrong?
Th'ree straight shut-outs, and
here's Edenton again.
Well, Jess stood up pretty well
for an old fellow.
Wonder what Shelby's candid
opinioji of the Dempsey-Gibbons
light is today?
If every owner of a flivver
would vote for Ford, wouldn't
the flivver king get a landslide?
~ Wonder if anybody is seeing
to it that the kerosene cans are
dripping after the showers these
days?
The Advance is hoping that
Roanoke Island is planning to
observe Virginia Dare day this
year.
What with all the folks who
are being trained for leadership1
these days, one wonders if there
are going to be followers enough
to go 'round.
Glad to hear that the crop'
prospects are bright for a bump
er crop of Currituck sweet po
tatoes this year?and we a re
hoping that the price will be as1
satisfactory as the yield.
It's a hopeless sinner who,
proclaims his failings. What
chance would the prophet Na
than have had with old King
David if the latter had been
bragging about his devilment.
It would be interesting if
some one had been stationed at
the various banks Friday after
noop.t^.see how many forgot
that jjatiks . as well as stores
close Friday at 1 o'clock during
July and August.
From the number of revivals1
they have in Goldsboro The Ad
vance judges that the Coldsboro
folks must enjoy their religion
or else they must need more of
It than the average North Caro
lina town.
The fans were keen for news
from that ball game at Edenton
Thursday. The Advance got al
most as many telephone calls
asking for the result as it did
inquiries as to the "outcome of
the Willard-Firpo fight.
Kentucky rock asphalt is the
material that is being used in
Raleigh for re-surfacing Kay
etteville street ? one of the
bumpiest thoroughfares in the
capital city. Wjiat about using
the same thing to smooth over
Elizabeth City's Belgian blocks?
And what about trying it out on
one or two of the spots on the
Weeksville road that need patch
ing?

During the last 12 years the fur
niture Industry has grown to be one
I of the most Important In the state,
In 1910 there wi rt* 8 factories in the
Istate; today there are 107.
The value of the output of these
mills in 1910 was $1 1,232,000 an
nually. In 1921-22 the value was
130. 288.761.
i Guilford. Davidson, and Caldwell
{counties lead In this industry while
the city of High Point Is the ac
knowledged center of the industry in
I the state.
In 1910 the total number of wage
earners employed by the industry
I was 6.38.3; today there are 8,697.
[The wage scale has kept pace with
'the Industry for it has advanced 89
percent during the decade.
Capital invested in the manufac
tories in 1910 as $3,283,246 and 1:1
J.922 had increased to $6,525,102.
The annual payroll a decade agl.
was $1,618,150 while fn 1921-1922
it amounted to $5,467,614.
Wages in these plants are pail |
weekly uud semi-momhly.
The manufacture of tobacco pro
ducts ranks second among Industries]
of the state, being exceeded only by J
the cotton good* industry.
The combined value of the tobac
co and cotton goods manufactured
products represents more than 40
percent , of the total manufactured
products of the state.
North Carolina ranks first In acre- ,
age planted in tobacco among the ;
states of the> union and is second in '
quantity ad value of products.
Winston Salem is the center of the'
Industry, more than three-fourths of '
the tobacco being manufactured
there.
The tendency for the past 20 years
has been to concentrate the indus
try In Immense factories. In 1900
there were 96 factories in the state,
4 in i9io. and in 1922 only iS.
The value of products manufac
tured in 1910 was $35,987.00 and

and for women $3.07.
Durham. Asheville, Greennboro.
Hickory. Leaksville and Htatesville
are the principal tobacco manufac
turing points, with Durham second to
Winston Salem which leads all
others. Durham, because of the pro
duct bearing its name, is perhaps j
the most widely known of these ceu- I
ters.
