11 State Counties Over 200 Years Old ROWAN COUNTY CREATED 1753; 179 YEARS OLD Albemarle, Created In 1663, Was First Great County But Has Been "Dead” 260 Years. Eleven of North Carolina’s 100 —four of them being 260 years old —and the youngest two have just reached their majority, 21 years. Albemarle county was the "great first mother,” but she has passed into history, Albemarle, created March 24, 1663, has been dead 260 years, having given her life so Chowan, Currituck, Pasquotank and Perquimans counties could be "born.” In the early days Albemarle county was a world within itself, embracing more territory than the whole of the present day North Carolina. It reach ed all the way across the continent to the "South See”—the Pacific ocean. But on December 5, 1672—260 years ago—Albemarle county was di vided into four counties and there has been no Albemarle county in North Carolina since, although a great part of eastern North Carolina today is re ferred to as the Albemarle section of the state. There is still Albemarle sound, however. With Chowan, Currituck, Pasquo tank and Perquimans counties holding the distinction of being North Caro lina’s oldest "live” counties, the sev en others which have passed their 200th birthday anniversary are Beau fort, organizeo 1702; Hyde, 1705; Bertie, 1722; Carteret, 1722; Craven, 1712; New Hanover, 1729, and Tyr rell, 1729. The two baby members of the fam ily are Avery county, created Febru ary 23, 1911, and Hoke county, cre ated Feruary 11, 1911. There are several "dead” counties in the records of North Carolina be sides Albemarle. North Carolina’s next county after Chowan, Currituck, Pasquotank and Perquimans was Bath, formed in De cember, 1696. It was taken from the southern part of old Albemarle. It too has long been dead, and Bath Town, the oldest town in the state, remains its only outward memorial—its county seat and the first "capital” of the pro vince. The other "dead” counties were Bute, created February 29, 1764 and abolished in 1779, becoming Franklin and Warren; Dobbs, created Decem ber 8, 1758, abolished in 1779 to form parts of Johnston, Wayne and Lenoir, and Tryon, created December 5, 1768, and abolished in 1779, becoming Lin coln and Rutherford.

NIEL An event, interesting and informa tive,-each year in Salisbury is the an nual dinner-meeting of the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce. This year it will be held Tuesday, February 23 rd, at 7 p. m., at the Yadkin Hotel and the program which is in the hands of a committee composed of Bryce P. Beard, T. A. Snyder and Paul Phillips is rapidly being whipped into shape and promises to be in every way en joyable. The principal speaker for the even ing cannot be announced as this is written but it is proposed to deviate from the course of formers years and forego a quasi-humorous, witty ad dress, substituting a snappy talk on conditions as they appear, the value of a trade organization to a commun ity and the opportunities ahead for the coming months. In addition to an out of town speaker there will be three or four "minute-men” talks by prom inent Salisburians who will discuss the problems local to the community and what may be done toward making bet ter conditions and promoting this city’s advantages. rveporcs oi me past years activities will be submitted in a brief manner and there will be musical and other features. The three civic clubs of Sal isbury have agreed to for'ego their luncheon meetings during the week and instead will join with the Cham ber of Commerce in its annual event. The committee having the affair in charge are desirous that it be known that the ladies are sincerely desired and it is hoped those attending will bring their women folk. It was on May 30, 1791, that Geo. Washington paid his memorable visit to Salisbury, reaching here in the morning and remaining until the next morning when he pushed on to Win ston and Guilford Court House. Dur ing this year of 1932, the bi-centen nial of Washington’s birth, celebra tions are being planned all over the country in honor of the anniversary. Some events have already been pro jected for Salisbury and should receive the whole hearted support of this peo ple. However, the suggestion is haz arded here that on May 30th, 1952, the one hundred and forty-first anni versary of the famous visit of the great hero, soldier and statesman, that Salisbury should stage a mammoth celebration in which history, legend and facts about Washington should be told. Salisbury never does things half way and the event could be made one that would attract visitors from far and near. Let’s think it over and begin preparations early in order that widespread interest might be created. The Chamber of Commerce has re ceived a number of blanks for the 1931 Census of Manufactures which will be mailed to any of the industries that have not received the blanks direct from Washington. The Census of Man ufactures, required by an act of con gress approved June 18, 1929, is com piled primarily for the purpose of showing the absolute and the relative importance, the growth or decline and the geographical distribution of the manufacturing industries, and the in dustrial importance of various cities and states during successive periods. The data and statistics also throw light on matters of general economic importance, such as concentration of manufacturing in certain localities. Prior to 1929 the Census of Manu factures was taken at ten-year inter vals. DurJhg the first two decades of this century it was taken at five-year intervals. As a result of the general realization of the importance and val ue of the census statistics, a law was enacted which provided for the tak ing of this census bi-ennially since 1920. The census inquiries concern name and location of the plant, com modities produced, time in operation, hours of labor, wage earners employ ed (by months), wages, cost .of ma terials, value of products, etc. As it is the object of the Census Bureau to publish complete statistics for each industry, it is necessary that every return for a given industry be on file before the final totalization can be made. The laying aside of a census schedule to be filled out at some more convenient time may not seem a matter of great importance to a manufacturer, but it is obvious that if even one important return belong ing to an industry is not received promptly the publication of the sta tistics for that industry will be delay ed and their practical value decreased in proportion. Therefore, the Salis bury Chamber of Commerce urges all local manufacturers to return their re ports promptly. It is to their advant age to do so. Under the law they are compelled to give the information sought; so after all, it better be done "sooner” than "later.”
