MARVELOUS ACHIEVEMENTS
OF 50RTH CAROLINA
- . M-
Mr. S. H. Hobb whe la a member of
the editerial Voard f the University
' J.ertn, Carotin, New Letter ear: that
cno. marvelous achieremeata of North
Carolina ia causing woods rmecit la the
entire country. In a Meant letter he
aajar"
On the Pullman cars in hotels, at hi
oonvwattona to fact, almost
vhexathe Old North State ia being
disfsiawed, according te the educator,
who recently completed a 3,000 mile
Kip.
Twentj years ago a Tar Heel away
from home kept the state of his na
tivity a secret," he writes.
"Today be ia proud of his homeland,
PPo who meet him are anxious
to hear about the marvelous achieve
ment, of the southern giant that has
awakened to his vast powers, has tak
en stock of himself, and has decided
to develop to full maturity his wonder
ful possibilities."
And why is the North Carolinian
so proud of his state ?
Mr. Hobbs gives the following a.
specific reasons:
"North Caroliua is a reat agricul
tural state. She is not the acrrul-
tural state she should be, not the state
she wUl be within a decade or two. but
even today, she is the empire state of1

And our position is growing stronger. :
"Our 450,000 farm workers produce .
around $410,000,000 worth of larm
wealth. Not all this is new wealth.
For instance, we spend 350,000,000 for
fertilizer alone. Our 157,700 factory
workers tum out a total produce valu
ed at nearly one billion dollars. Nearly
a half billion dollars is the value ad-

Eighty thousand cotton mill opera-
Uvea turn out $318,000,000 of output
Of this total, $132,000,000 is created
m the processes of manufacture.
"We have 18 tobacco factories, cap-
italized at about $130,000,000. These
concerns employ about 14,000 workers
and the yearly output is valued at
about $126,000,000.
"Our 124 furniture factories are
' capitalized at about $16,000,000. They
employ more thanil5,500 workers and
the value of the yearly output is
about $35,000000. This is factory
valui, not the prices the consumers
ay.

The young woman smiled and said :'
"He is not Tery old, perhaps he will

"Not Mm ; . be never will learn.
Twice I have tried to set him up In

The ynung woman demonstrated her

her paper and harried Into the car.
But she did not read the paper on her
way home. She had other things to
