THE STATES INDUSTRIES.
A Growth Along Many
Lines In Twenty Years.

Lines In Twenty Years.
The manufacturing industries or
North Carolina until 1880 were limited,
but since that tire the spindles and
looms for the manufacture Of cotton
and wooden fabrics have been largely
increased, tobacco factories have been
established and enlarged and the Gull
ture Of silkworls has occasioned the
establishment Of q Silkmaking in
dustry.
In 1896 the number Of cotton mills
in the state was 1G7. looms $4,000 and
spindles approximately 100000. Over
$4,000 persons We're employed in these
mills. and the capital invested was
over S15.O @ coo. There was q note
worthy advance during 1890 in cot
ton manufacturing. New plants put
into operation numbered % and new
SpindleS 23O. 1853, with an estimated
capitalization of SS,O0O,OOO.
The tobacco Industry has greatly
prOspercd i'll recent years. During the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1890. there
were 20 manufacturers Of tobacco, 80
Of cigars. and the combined output in
the calendar year 1898 was S.4S2, 14S
cigars. 300 SOC pounds Of plug to-
bacco, 12.O4l pounds Of fine cut, $3.50
$40 pounds of smoking and 1852
III 1898 gave employment to $1,000
men. 300 women and 5000 children.
The increase in the lumber product
Of 1889 Over that of 1898 was estimat-
ed at 80 per cent. Eighteen new lum-
Der companies were organized last
year, with q total capital of $4,000,
| Nine furniture factories, with a tote
| capital Of 100000. were also added,
In 1897 the output of 1913 lumber mills
aggregated S4,55S,oSO for the year.
The fisheries Of North Carolina are
an important industry. In 1895 the
number of men regularly employed IN
this industry apprOXimated 5000 and
the boats and vessels about ZOO. The
value Of the products is nearly equally
divided between sea and river prod
ucts. The Shad and herring fisheries
are the most important of any state.
and the greater portion Of the catch is
made in and about the Albemarle
sound. Oysters are abundant. the area
