Of Interest to North Carolina.
North Caroliua has more peo
ple engaged iu manufacturing
than anv other Southern state.
High Point is second ouly to
Graud Hapida as thegreatest fur
niture market iu America.
The last census shows that of
the 1,889,318 persons in North
Carolina 1,804,028 were born iu
I the state.
North Carolina has $141,000,
000 invested in manufacturing
enterprises, against $08,000,000
five years age. Then the value
of products manufactured was
($85 000.000 and to-dav it is
$142,500,000.
The industrial growth of North
Caroliua is shown by the growth
j in the number of charters grant
ed in the state. In 1903 there
were 21; in 1904 there were 540;
1 in 1905 there were 003 aud thus
far this year 962.
In North Carolina ouly four
tenths of one per cent, of t he pop
ulation are of foreign parentage,
while iu New York it is 50.3 per
cent, aud iu North Dakota 07 3.
I North Carolina has the smallest
percentage of foreigners of any
state in the Union.
In 1900 there were 200,000
| persons in the other Southern
states that were born in North
Carolina. Texas had 23,000,
Georgia 32.000, Arkansas 20,
000, South Carolina 29,000 and
Virginia 53,000 native Tar
| Heels.
North Carolina leads all the
Southern states in increase of
capital invested and is second
only to Virginia in the total
amount, and that by only eight
million dollars. While Virginia's
! increase was only fifty-five mil
lions in five years, North Caro
! Una's was seventy-three mil
lions. I
The census of 190U showed
three comparative tables ot pro- I
green: Population, Manufactures
and Agriculture. Only two states j
in ail the Union bettered their]
relative positions in all three of
these tables, Texas and North
Carolina. Texas advanced three
poiuts aud Nurth Carolina seven
| points, thus the Tar Heel State
led all the 44.?North Carolina

I To the Editor: 1 was approach.
[ ed a few days ago by a good
member of the Southern Cotton
Association, who has paid his
dues, with the question?why
there was no more active cam
paign being made from the head
quarters of the Southern Cotton
Association than has been re
cently. My reply was that the
best reason I knew was that the
Association was without funds
to prosecute the work.
It is strange that people would
expect an organization of this
kind, or any other kind to be in
good working order if its mem
bership, and those receiving the
benefits from it, fail to give it at
least sufficient financial support
to pay the actual expenses of the '
organization; nevertheless, this i
seems to be true with a large
portion of the membership, and ?
those receiving the benefits of
the Southern Cotton Association
in North Carolina.

people of the State were to calm- J
ly consider the advantages aud f
benefits that have been derived E
from the efforts put forth by this J
organization, aud the possioili- J
ties that thecontinued education c
and agitation in this line have ?
in store for North Carolina aud ?
the South, and realize the loss 5
aud disaster that might follow J;
the abandonment of the organi- c
zation, they would come to its j
financial rescue aud put the or
ganization on a good financial
working basis.
There are people in the State
who have contributed liberally t:
of their means and energies to {;
support this work, but there are J
others in large numbers, who ?
have perhaps received great ben- ?
efits from the Association that jj
have not given it any assistance o'
whatever. II the reader is one of 0
that class, ask yourself the ques- JJ
tion?have you done your duty ?i

The Kind You Have Always Bought J
1
Servants.
Complaint* about servants are
universal. Ever since we have
been reading tbe servant prob
lem has been a source of jokes, in
one uiood, and homilies, in an
other, in the Northern papers.
Within itui years conditions nave
become as acute in the South.
We have no "solution" to of
fer The golden rule is the only
solution we know of; and what's
the use to offer that?
But we have a remark or two
to submit. Since the complaiuts
are universal, is it not possible
that the fault may not be all ou
one side? If you employ six
j cooks and uoue of them please,
i is there uot ground for self ex
amination? Our observation is
that there are people who can
get along well with servants
whom others tind it impossible
to tolerate There is an art of
managing?and all good bouse
| keepers should contrive to ac
quire it. The servant, problem is
largely the woman's problem;
and the Southern woman ought |
to master it. We can make good
servants, we should uot expect
to pick them up. Somethiug is
likely to be wrong with the |
house-ket per who is forever in i
trouble about servants.
Wages have risen. Colored j
men now receive enough money .
to keep their wives at home. \
That deprives us of the better i
class of servants; but it gives the 1
negro a home, and home-life, ?
which are the best possessions of 3
civilization. Most of us will not. '
be able to employ more than ?
one servant under the higher .
wages. Many cannot afford one.
It becomes us all, therefore, to
learn to be independent. Work i
is the best thing in the world. I
Let us cease to abhor it. The {
love of ease is the mark of de- ?
generacy. Accept the situation; J
do your work gladly. Do not ?
complain of your lot. ?
The opportunity for the poor J
is great. If colored servants can J
command good wages, white
servants cau command better r
House keeping, nursing, sewing .
and cooking?each a great call
ing?offer open doors for poor
girls in the South Let them not r
be ashamed to enter them. They ?
offer self-respect, independence J
and usefuness. Jesus Christ put *
the servant above the king ? J
