"From the looms of North Caro lina comes the largest quantity of cotton goods made in the South to day, the state ranking second in the Col-jNation isides thl9 $300,000,000 product, other industries bring an annual wealth around $600,000, 000 .

Best City Cagers Lose to Wilmington Loral Teiini Makes Hani Fight for Final Knee in Game That Ends Very Creditable Season The Elizabeth City girl cagers Sat urday night were defeated by the Wilmington quintet In a hard fought and exciting game at the Community Building. The score ended at 28 to 13. The Wilmington girls got a good start on the local team In the first quarter with a finish up of 10 to 2.
