In the markets the goods of our North
Carolina mills have found no difficulty
in meeting the same grade of products
of Northern mills, and the demand for
them has in many instances outrun pro-
duction. They are to-day sold in every
nearly every quarter of the civilized
world From whatever point of view,
indeed, our cotton milling industry is
regarded there is much to make the
pride of the State in it. North Carolina
is increasingly a factor that must be
reckoned with in cotton manufactures.
She ranks six among the States now.
Who does not believe that it is merely
matter of time until she will rank
first?
NEW TEXTILE PLANTS.
The following from the AM
erican Wool and Cotton Reporter, of
Boston, shows the progress made in
the establishment of Textile plants for
the first six months of this year:
The first half of the year 1899 has
slightly surpassed the last half of 1898
III Ile hulNUtl VI uGN anu ltIOEibStu lCIh-
tile enterprises entered into in the limited
States. Thus the total number of new
enterprises launched in the first six
months of this year was 116, against 101
in the last half of 1898 and 155 in the
last half of 1898. The South continues to
lead in new mill construction, and the
number of new enterprises compares very
fayorably with those of any previous year
for a long time The number of new
enterprises in the North is considerably
greater than that of the last half of 1898,
but it is decidedly less than that of the
first half of that year The record Of
''enlargements and improvements" shows
up very fayoraIbly as compared with last
year. The textile mills of this country
are today running full, almost without
exception, and more new machinery has
been ordered during the past six months
than for a like period in many years. One
result is that the various machine shops
are enjoying period of remarkable pros
perity, several of them being overrun
with orders so that it lis necessary to
work a portion of the night to fill them
The Lowell machine shop, for instance, is
said to have 1,750 hands employed, the
largest number ever at work in that es-
tablishment. The following table shows
the number of new enterprises in the
North and in the South for the last two
half years:
