weeks Gold Leaf, writing Of this cdr
ton, Mr. Manning says:
'.The special Tobacco Edition OF the
News and Observer, issued Sunday, was
a pleasant surprise to its patrons.
with the School Edition and Cotton
Mill edition still fresh Ia their minds,
they expected much, but this last effort
surpassed them all 1t was forty pages
in size, profusely illustrated, its sub
iect matter being as interesting and IN
structiye in character as II was broad
in scope and comprehensive IN detail.
IT was complete history Of the tobac-
co industry in North Carolina, its cul-
ture, leaf traffic and manufacture
business tile proportions and import
ance of which We daresay IS a revela-
ton to many people in the State, as veil
as outside of it.
.sThis edition reflects great credit
upon the News and Observer staff, and
especially upon Mr.. f. b. Arendeii,
who did most of the work Of gathering
information and putting the mass OF
matter into proper shape for the print
ers. 1T was difficult and onerous task,
the work has been well done-as only
Mr.. ArendelI could have done il. The
paper is ernbellished with cuts Of many
Of the leading men identified with the
tobacco interests of the State, with
pictures OF number of the principal
factories and warehouses, together
with full description Of the same.
"3y the production of such paper,
ahe publishers have done well--bullded
better than they knew. One OF the
needs of outsiders is more and fuller
information about North Carolina, its
industries and resources, it's adyan-
tages and opportunities II is not
enough THAI we ourselves
should be informed about these
Ahinvs. but we should impart
orr information To others that
they may be induced to come and settle
amongst us, and by the aid OF their
capital and brains and labor, help TO
develop the dormant resources and inn
prove the opportunities THAI present
themselves on every hand.
"By its special Industrial editions the
News and Observer is doing a most
commendable work along this line.
Such publications as it's School Edi-
tfon, Cotton Mill Edition and Tobacco
| Edition cannot fail Of producing great
| and permanent good to the State.
"Such enterprise and public spirit
Is worthy Of the broad-minded, State
loving, progressive gentlemen, BY
| whose tireless industry, patient labor,
tact and Judgment, these comprehen g
| siye histories Of industrial Aor.h
Carolina have been made possible.

| been placed under additional obliga-
tions for the very great service rem
dered the State Ia this their latest and
