able progress In cotton manufactures.
She IS now practically equal 10 South

mile North Carolina has consumed OF
this years crop 22l.0o bales. an increase
Of $500 over last year. She has new

consumed lli.cc0 bales, SO your State has
practically doubled her cotton manufac-
tories with the past five years"
