Great Natural Resources (Carl C. Taylor la Tar-he-Lion) North Carolina's greatness will de pond la Uw future, as It doaa at tin present, upon a combination of natur al resources and human organisation. This h true of greatness wherever il it found, whether the greatness he of an individual, a state or a nation. Ac eoppttahment is.always the result oi hidnan effort and human' vision ap pits! to material opportunity. The future of North Carolina inheres in bet geographic situation. The mens uraof that future depends upon what the people of North Carolina do with it. The accomplishment of the State in the past has been great or small ac centing to one's method of measuring gasalnstii How gnat we an as a Stpita ought sot to be our chief con carn. How greet an our potentialities ■■I haw great ear determination to sake the neat ad the, ia what akm. eamtfc ’•/ Our Natural Isnsnu North Carolina aa a geographic uah la a cosmopolitan State. Its atti tude varies from the mountains to the asa. It cen grow practically every kind of plant and animal known to AuMrleau agriculture. It has mineral potentialities of various kinds. It has commercial clay and sand potentiali ties, It has hydro-electric potentiali ties second only to those of New York among the Eastern Sates. Its geographic, phyiscal, or material potautiaHUes an varied as well as A Great Stake of Development North Carolina standi in. a position of peculiar compariative advantage in relation to the centers of economic activity and centers of population. It |a at the cross-roads, just at this time, in the economic evolution and de velopment of the nation. It is prob ably destined to make more progress in the neft two decades than it has made in all its past history, and more than any other peagrapbic areas of the nation will make during that period. Our national sivisation has devel oped by traveling westward. It some time since struck the Pacific coast and is now turning back on itself to consolidate the ground it has gained, by intensively, developing the areas Our national prosperity has depend ad Mi the past upon the production of yaw agricultural products, produced largely for export. It is now very raj&By turning to industrial activities. In |hf future to a much iMger d|gme than in the past, its prosperity will depepd upon domestic markets and tha^uftning of goods. North Caro lina Is in a most adrantageius posi J. & tboc.dOn CITIL ENGINEER LBAKSYILLB, N. C. tionto participate heavily in the gains which will acrue from this national eeomic activity. The Stats has a large capacity to produce raw prod ucts for factory consumption. It has large power capacity to turn the wheels of industry. It is near the great American consumption centers and can easily make transportation contacts with foreign countries. It has the raw products, the power and the market contact necessary to a great Industrial deveopment, and that development is sure to take place in the near future. Our HuauP Factor Assets North Carolina is rapidly building the habit of looking for opportunities to go forward. Few 8tates in the na tion exceed the egotism of this State, and, peculiar as this may seem, this is an asset Just at this time. It believes hi itself. It thinks it is destined to be greet. It is proud of its attainment, and the promising thing about this pride ia that it largely is pride ever ml and resent accomplishments rather than over peat history and family anceetry. So recent are the iccomplishmenta of our educational, welfare, health, agricultural, road, tdn industrial progress that they are a part of the existing activity and thought of our people. The men and women who have stimulated and gntded the progress of the last decade yr twi are yet in our midst and are »- 111 ..1 '■ .. actively engaged In tb« wry thin*! which here developed our present de tree of frestnees. The feet Juat related la one of deep est significance. A social movement calls for oar appearance at the sta«« door in the role of one of the leading ehracterg Just at this time. We hav« the faith to believe we can play th« part. If we fail it is oar fault, such ae an era of progrsaa, is as much dependent upon real material facts aa la any othe rmovement dependent upon anch facts. The leaders in North Carolina’s new greatness are material factors, not mere tradition and memories. The progress of North Carolina will not slaken so long as wc can keep contact with the person who have in the past and now are develop ing the resident forces of the State. The things mentioned above are all real. Give us eyes to see them clearly end hands to guide them surely, and we will convert our millions of acres if idle and waste lands into farm pro duction, our streams into factory powers, our raw products into refined good our illiteracy into enlighten i ment and our poverty into a stablt prosperity. % Our physical potential!ties are here.

This is no more true than that all hind is alike. The truth of this can be proven—not alone by the enthusiastic praise of success ful fanners who have used Royster’s, but by your own experience.

The names of renowned admirals of the French navy were resurrected and will be carried again to the con fines of the far seas which they visit ed while alive by the three fast cruisers, one of which, the Duguay Trouin, was launched last August. The other two, to be known as the “LaHotte-Picquet” and the “Primau guet," will be in commission during the first months of 1925. They are 8,000 ton ships am! are expected to levelop a speed of 36 to 38 knots an hour. Wild animals of the jungle were called into service in the christening of the grim destroyers.

In no other large business enterprise is so great an amount of capital risked for so small a re turn as in railroad transportation. The $285,000,000 of new money that has been put into the Southern Railway System in the past twenty years has been largely devoted to increasing capacity and promoting operating efficiency. We receive many requests for the elimination of grade crossings, the construction of monu mental passenger stations, and other non revenue-producing improvements. The com munities we serve naturally desire to have as much of this work done as can be safely financed, but they have recognized that their interests will best be served by expenditures which produce more and better transportation. • It is only because new capital has been ex pended on productive improvements that the Southern Railway System today is an efficient transportation machine and an asset to the South. | (9^ie SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
