Liberality 'of our Laws In Inviting Men Here and Elsewhere to Deveiop the Vast Resources ol the North State. Kai,-i.'li I ones. The very great increase of work in the ollice of the secretary of State is a fair index to the iiiorvelous pro gress that the Stateof North Caro lina is now making in an industrial nay. That ollice for the year ending November 30, 1903, issued 423 grants for which it paid to the treasurer I,.r4t.v5 'as against $3,8C7.92in lima, 1,3,043.01) in 1901. The grants now being issued are generally for entries made uner'the old law and for land sold by the State at 122 infll 15 cents per acre. All land entered since March 9, 1903, verv few grants for which have yet been issued, willbe sold at mi cents or more an acre, wnion dioiild considerably increaselthe? re venues from that source. The increased values of liiud'from the general business improvement, rise in values of agricultural pro ducts and lumber and mining de velopment in Western riorth Caroli na, lias caused a jjreat movement of land sales and the time of Mr Nor wood, the chief clerk, is almost en tirely consumed in "searches" for old grants, etc. The sales of supreme court reports have increased the amount received from them for the vear ending De cember 1, 1903, being ; $5,071 .31; sales tor 1902, $2,648.25; 1901, jt3.37H.C4; 1900, $3,219.55. I lure have been 554 certificates for domestic corporations filed in t ho ollice of the secretary of State for the past year, on which an organi zation tax of over $17,000 has been aid into the treasury. Inese csr- porations represented $48,790,150 luthorized capital stock, ana $lo-, 71,490 subscribed to commence iiisiness on. The business men of the State and lsewhcre recognize the liberality of our laws, and realize that North Carolina is fostering every legitimate ministry anil is niviiing enpiuii w help develop its resources, assuring it protection and fair treatment. i 1113 is suown vy me ginning num ber of corporations in North Caro lina.

The last Legislature passed an act authrizing the secretary of State to harater banks and under that act 24 banks have been incorporated. The same Legislature fixed a tax liiioti foreign corporations coming into the State to do business, which is now yielding considerable revenue to the State. Five railroads have filed charters with the secretary of State during the iast year as follows: Kinston. and Carolina Railroad Compay, Holly Shelter Hailroad Company, South- port, Atlantic and Western Kail road Company, North State Railway Com pany and Atlantic itaiiway iom- pnny. This does not represent the num ber of new railroads for the State this vear, as the Legislature charter ed a number. The Legislature of 1903 passed an t to provide for registration of labels, train marks and designs. Under this law quite a number of trade marks have been registered. Tho proprietors of trade marks are just beginning to learn of the exist ence of this law and business con cerns desiring to protect their labels, marks, etc., are registering tna same and the year 1904 promises to show a large increase in the number of registrations in tins department.
