I After an absence of nearly fif teen years from North Carolian, haying, traveled - extensively throughoutf Uur own grand country and in Europe 1 come back to my native heath more firmly impressed than ever with her boundless re sources and natural advantages within a fair and gracious horizon, surrounded by bright auspices and illumined by the light of a most ar dent and progressive civiliza tion. ....... "For the past several years I have been actively engaged in Georgia and Florida journalism, and until recently held the responsible posi tion of staff correspondent on the Florida Dispatch, the leading and progressive agricultural journal in that $ t-ate in all matters pertaining - tQ progress and development. As the special representative of that paper, it was my good fortune to visit every hamlet,1 village, town and city in Florida, with a view of giving to the outside world the natural . advantages that , section offered to all in search of winter Homes.

An extensive spur of the State during vie 'past ?ar, with an eye become permanent until agricul ture in some of its branches takes root. It is also true beyond any quest- tion of doubt that agriculture is the most certain source of strength and wealth, and independence, and lor this reason North Carolina is bound to become a rich and power ful Sate. Commerce flourishes by circum stances precarious, contingent, transitory, almost as liable to change as the wind and waves that waft it to our shores. She may well be termed the younger sister, for in all emergencies she looks to agriculture both, for- de fence and. for supply. The earth indeed is doubly grateful, inasmuch as it not only pays tortyiold to the cultivator, but reciprocally im proves its improver, rewarding him with strength aud health and vig or. Agriculture, therefore, is the true officina melitum ; and in her brave and hardy peasantry, she of fers a legitimate and trusty sword to those rulers that duly appreciate her value, and court her alliance. the thousands vet to come to our 1 continue from year to year, for the '.down from the joints by. recent rains. shores find room for comfortable simple reason and the further fact, The joints arc. somewhat open and and happy homes ? that as a State she is prosperous, dust easily -tccumulntes in them.

OLD NORTH FUTURE OF THE STATE. North Carolina's grand future lies in her climate, her mineral wealth and in her 15,882,387 acres ot uncultivated lands. If she has'already accomplished so much m material weaitu, prog ress and advancement in the culti vation of 6,481,101 acres, .what .can she not do in the near future with her remaining unimproved farm lands now ready and waiting for the intelligent cultivator ! ; If she has disemboweled from her soil twenty-one of the usefu minerals, what may be expected that source when capital and ener gy, are actively engaged in that di rection I i If her aggregate water power is put down as beiiig over 3,000.000 horse power, what must be the out come when this force is utilized sunicient to turn i4U,ouu,uoo spin dies, in the different manufactures and avenues oi trade ? 1. She offers today over fifteen millions of acres of good farming land which can be successfully and ofitable cultivated and made to produce nearly every cereal grown. The larger portion of the State enjoys a climate distinctively healthy, due both to her location uid to her configuration, luee. or the most part, Worn malarial swamps, fanned by healthful bree es, occasioned by the diversified contour of the cbiintryV.her 'fertile ands are admirably .adopted to the support of a large population in health, wealth and happiness.
