Moss had grown on its roof aftd its win dows were dimmed by ah accumu lated fabric of lint, cobwebs and dust before there was a dawning appreciation of what an industrial giant it was to become. In more recent years a twin giant, the blast furnice, made its appearance in the Sonthern industrial field, and today the Souths cotton and the South's steel can put a wrestle against all 'comers from all parts of the world. The blowing in of a blast furnaee in North Carolina is an eye'nt that attracts more attehtioA than did the startiiig of the, first cottoi mill, afid the first run of th furnace Of the Empire Steel and Iron Works at Greensboro last Thursday is regard ed as the baptizing of cotton's twin giant, steel, in this State. The Greensboro plant represents an out--lav of $250,000 cash investment, whith include nearly 2000 acres of land in Chatham county, where it pets its ore suddIv. Previous to the war the iron industry in this State was a much bigger thing than it is now. It is a little surprising that eanital and enterprise has been so slow in turning to the de velonment of the well-known iron ore beds of this State.

The company starts' out with four runs k Tf v of thirty five tons for each run. North Carolina has done won ders in the development of the tex tiT indiistrv.
