100 Year’s
Progress
C. 0. Ellis of the Burns
ville Hosiery Mill loaned
us a booklet entitled “100
Year Progress Salute’’,
compiled by the Holmes-
Darst Coal Corporation. It
appears, from looking
through the booklet, that
North Carolina may have
been concerned with Sou
thern Rights in 1850 about
as much as South Carolina',
Alabama and Mississippi:
are at the present time.
Even the political parties
put aside differences to
cope with the issue. (Who’s
making progress?). “A
meeting of the citizens of
New Hanover County,
without distinction of par
ty, was held in Wilmington
on the 29th ult., to consider
the present critical attitu

That is quoted in the book
from a newspaper of the
time.
The Raleigh Register of
Feb. 6, 1850 gives current
prices as “pork 4 to 5, ham
6 to 8, shoulder 6 to 7, but
ter 15, coffee 15, corn 50
(bushel, that is l, whiskey,
gal. 35 to 40, brandy, gal.
75 to 1.00.” Then, the pre
sent price of a Sunday
roast would have kept a
person supplied with ham,
and drunk for 30 days.
I see that the “Patriot”
has a front page appeal (
i for temperance including
i the Drunkard’s Will. The

When we disregard the
price of ham and whiskey,
North Carolina has made
progress. The population
of the State in 1850 was

Winter weathering causes
further losses in protein [

one-third as much protein

the forage is reduced in
