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

Lines In Twenty Aears'
The manufacturing industries of
North Carolina until 1880 were limited,
but since that time 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 silkworms has occasioned the
establishment of u silkmaking in
dustry.
In 1896 the number Of cotton mills
in the state was 167, looms $4,000 and
spindles approximately 100000. Over
10. 900 persons were employed in these
mills, and the capital invested was
over S15.00O.0OO. There was a note
worthy advance during 1899 in cot
ton manufacturing. New plants put
into operation numbered % and new
spindles go. 1GS. with an estimated
capitalization of $S000.000.
The tobacco industry has greatly
prospered in recent years. During the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1899, there
were 20 manufacturers of tobacco, So
of cigars. and the combined output in
the calendar year 1893 was S,4S2, 14S
cigars, 20,940S9G pounds of plug to-
bacco, 1904 pounds Of fine cut, $685.
$40 pounds of smoking and 1882
pounds of snuff The tobacco factories
in 1898 gave employment to 10000
men. 9,700 women and 5000 children.
The increase in the lumber product
e oe a =
ed at so per cent. Eighteen new lum7
Der companies were organized last
year, with a total capital of 1862, 900,
Nine furniture factories, with tota
capital of 100000, were also added,
In 1897 the output of 1913 lumber mills
aggregated $4,55S,cS0 for the year.
The fisheries of North Carolina are
an important industry. In 1895 the
number of men regularly employed in
this industry Appropriated COCO and
the boats and vessels about $500 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
of the public grounds exceeding 10000
acres and the natural beds nearly
5000 acres. Legislative protection has
been thrown around the oyster and
fishery interests, and the laws are rig
idly enforced.
The Pan American Exposition at
Buffalo next year will offer to the peo-
pie Of this state an opportunity for
showing their resources that will prove
of greater value than any exposition
has ever before presented. The state
is now better than ever prepared to
make a great showing, and the won
derful resources Of the state can be
presented to millions Of people who
are near to us and more likely to be-
come one of us if properly impressed
with the advantages we offer, who
could not have been reached through
any other exposition.

streets and botlevards IRE paved with
asphalt and are as smooth as floor
Buffalo is truly the cleaneSt and finest
city in the United States, or at least,
the finest | haYe ever visited. The
Public Library Of Buffalo is very tine.
1t contains 100000 books, besides the
Reference Library, which contains 90
600 books. Buffalo has 181 churches,
as follows: Roman Catholic, 80; Meth
odiSt. 81; Baptist. Il and 6 missions;
Presbyterians. 16; Lutheran, II; Evan
gclical, ); Evangelical Reformed, 6;
German Evangelical, -; Jewish, 3;
Congregational, 4 Universalist, 2; Uni
tartan, ,; United Brethren, l; Disciples,
4; Floating Missions, /; Canal Street
Missions, >; Adventist, |; Spiritualist,
l. The church edificcs are large and
imposing. Buffalo also has some very
fine cemeteries. Forest Lawn Gem
etery contains at least Go acres and
has some imposing monuments. The
residence portion of the city is neat
and clean, with many beautiful and
artistic homes.
The work on the buildings at the
Pan-Amerlcan grounds is progressing
very fast and beyond question will be
completed IN ample time for the Expo
sition. The great Niagara Falls are
within Il Glles of the city-only few
minutes ride from the business center
and the Exposition grounds, and one
can have a choice Of either steam or
electric ears for conveyance to the
great cataracts. These attractions will
naturally bring to Buffalo during the
Exposition vast throngs of people, ana
we will be very fortunate indeed to
have an opportunity to display our
products and resources here during
that time. We cannot afford to let
this opportunity slip by. 1t is said
that the North Carolina exhibit is the
second best exhibit of any state at the
Paris Exposition, but we can improve
on that even.
appeal to every good citizen and
lover of North Carolina to kindly give
us his aid and influence in this impor-
tant matter. w. Il. PORTER
Vice President for North Carolina, Pan
American Exposition.

Mica In North cnro1lnn.

There are extensive beds Of mica in
the western portion Of the state. Mica
mining showed an increase in 1899,
there being SO mines. What was pro-
nounced to be the finest deposit of
magnetic iron ore in the southern
states exists in Ash county, and in
November, 1899, tract of 10000 acres
was leased by two Pennsylvania steel
companies, and railroad extensions to
the seat of operations were ordered.
A first class exhibit of mica and other
minerals at the Pan-American Elk
position at Buffalo might be the means
Of attracting the attention of capital
lied enterprise toward these invaluable
deposits.
