North Carolina a few years ago,
known as an agricultural State, has
within the past few years become one
of the leading manufacturing States Of
the South. In all lines of manufacture
we are fast becoming the peer of any,
but more especially in cotton. In 1910
there were in North Carolina % cotton
mills, operating 1890 spindles and 200
looms; in 1850, % mills, operating 10000
spindles and 500 looms; in 1860, SO mills,
operating al, 900 spindles and 500 looms;
in 1870, SO mills, operating $4,000 spin
dies and 1900 looms; in 1880. 40 mills,
operating 92,4O0 spindles and 1900 looms;
in 1890, 81 mills, operating S37, 500 spin
dies and 1890 looms; in 1900, 1S6 mills
operating 1,290,391 spindles and 20, 493
looms; in 1901, 218 mills, operating l.
673 103 spindles and 81, $50 looms.
The manufacture of furniture is also
assuming vast proportions. More than
one hundred factories are now in oper-
alton, and new ones are being erected
all through the central and western
part of the State. The quality of the
output is not surpassed anywhere.
The natural resources of the State are
practically unlimited. Its water power
is not equalled by any Southern State.

tai and labor. AS we continue to grow
into great manufacturing State there
will, of course, arise those questions be-
tween labor and capital which have
caused so much friction in other Sec
tions, and it is to be hoped that we have
learned from them to the extent of set
thing amicably such differences that labor
and capital may dwell together in peace.
No State in the Union offers such in
ducements for the investment of capital
as North Carolina does today. Her cli-
mate is all that could be wished: her
people are the noblest of Gods creation;
her resources are limitless and she ex-
tends a most hearty welcome to all who
would seek home within her borders.
While much capital has come into the
State from other quarters, yet were her
unsurpassed advantages systematically
and wisely advertised we would witness
millions of dollars invested where only
thousands are now coming in.

WESTERN CAROLINA MINERALS.

We always appreciate good and public

worth until after he is gone, and there
is no one to take his place, this is how

all men in western North Carolina dur
ing his day and since, there was and is
not one who could so Thoroughly and
justly to this section give you an article
on the mineral resources of Western
North Carolina as he, and were he alive
today, I would not attempt to write this
article, but submit your request to him,
for feel that this county would then get
full and complete letter on it's mineral
resources.
The resources of Western North Caro-
Ina in so far as it's minerals are con-
cerned is not known. 1t is known, and
well known, however, that Western North
Carolina abounds in minerals and / make

minerals, suffice it TO say that marble,
iron, copper. tale, "K5fofi1i. corundum,
mica, sienna ochre, and other minerals

and numerous gems of the higher order.

The best evidence of the indus
trial possibilities of North Carolina
Is found In the progress made dur
ing the past few years. Accord
ing to the reports of the Twelfth
Census there was more capital em-
ployed in one single industry in
1900 than there was in all the in
dustries in the State in 1890. Ten
counties now have more money in
vested in manufacturing enter
prises than the entire State had
ten years ago. The value of pro-
duets in the two industries of cot
ton manufacturing and lumber is
now greater than that of all the
manufactured products Of the
State in 1890. From 1890 to 1900
the capital invested in manufac-
turing increased nearly 1874 per
cent. and the value of n,anufac-
tured products increased l35 per
cent
COTTON MANUFACTURING.
1t will be interesting to note somewha
in detail few of those industries in
which the most notable progress has
been made. First in Importance on ac-
count of its magnitude and also on ac-
count of the opportunity it offers for
profitable investment is that of cotton
manufacturing. In 1890 there were nine
ty-one cotton mills in the State with a
capital of about ten and three-Quarter
millions Of dollars, while in 1900 there
were III mills with a capital of $33,011,-
SIG. The value of the cotton mill pro-
ducts in 1890 was SO 500 443 and in 1900
it was s2S,372, 1893. These mills in 1900

When farmers can dig crops like that
late in November, it is evident that we
can compete on very favorable terms in
the production OF winter potatoes with
States North, which take the whole sea-
son to average 80 bushels on land worth
ten times the price that it can be had
for here.

There is a great lack of knowledge
regarding the cost of making oleomar-
garine. The Armour company of Chi
cago put in evidence Il sworn formula
for manufacturing the stuff, says Dali
ry and Creamery. Taking this formula
and the market cost of the materials,
the estimate of the cost of 100 pounds
of oleomargarine is as follows: Thirty
four pounds of neutral lard at 37s cents
pound, S1.32; p pounds of oleomar-
garine oil at 3l8 cents a pound, S4l2
cents; - pounds of cottonseed oil at
cents a pound, As cents; Is pounds of
milk at l cent a pound, IS cents;
pounds Of salt at about / cent a pound,
Si@ cents, making 100 pounds cost only
1921. Adding the cost of tubs and
tax, the net cost at Chicago for each
100 pounds manufactured is SG.41. 1t
is bad enough when such stuff is sold
ut i cents pound in competition with
good butter at Is and 20 cents, but
when the oleomargarine is palmed off
as real butter serious injury is done to
the dairy business. In Holland the
oleomargarine men go so far as to ar
que that the manufacture of their stuff
makes Il market for milk, Just as they
argue in this country that it helps the
beef cattle industry by making n mar
ket for tallow. Think of 100 pounds of
alleged butter from eighteen pounds of
