sECRETARY,S REPORT.

| Mr.. George Allen, secretary, then read
his report, which was as follows:
During the year 1903, the city of Raj
eigh has enjoyed its full share of the gen
eral prosperity of the State. and has had
marked exemption from epdemics acct
| dents and business difficulties.
Our cotton and tobacco markets have
given general satisfaction to the trade,
with profitable prices for cotton.
The several colleges located in our
midst are filed to their utmost capacity
and are an honor 70 the State New
buildings have been erected for the en-
| largement of the graded school system,
and larger attendance is reported than
at any pervious year The State Institu-
tions have also an increased attendance.
The cotton mills, knitting mills, Oh,
mill, fertilizer works, machine works and
wood working plants have been in con
tinuous operation.
More than the usual number of hand
some residences, and business houses have
been erected, and arrangements have been
completed that will insure the erection of
very handsome Masonic Temple during
the next year The hotels OF the city
have been placed under new management,
and many improvements hre being made,
which will be of advantage to the city
in bringing more visitors from other sec
tions.> to enjoy with US the fine climate,
and other advantages offered by the CAPT
tai city and educational centre of the
State
During the past year Raleigh his had the
pleasure of entertaining very large num-
Der of visitors from all parts of the State,
who came to attend the sessions OF the
July summer school, held in the splendid
new auditorium of the College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts. The meetings
of the county superintendent of the pub

ciety, the Annual State Fair and several
conventions.
The Chamber of Commerce reioices IN
the success of our citizens, in the matter
of building a railroad from this city to
Tide water, at Washington, with prospect
of early completion.
The street railway has been much I'M
proved, but an extension OF tracks is
greatly needed.
The success of the past efforts and the
present prospects should induce every clt1
zen and especially every member OF this
Chamber to make greater efforts during
the next year for the industrial advance
ment Of our city.

Fear Railroad 10 Ellington, and the Cape
Fear and Northern to Dunn have opened
up a good section OF trade to our mer-
chants To cement the bonds OF friend
ship more firmly the Merchants Associa
ton and the chamber gave a free eXcur-
sion from Ellington to Raleigh, which was
taken advantage Of, and greatly enjoyed
by more than 500 people. On the same
day Mr.. J. c. Angler, President OF the
Cape Fear and Northern Railway, ever
thoughtful and generous to the patrons of
his road. brought in a very large eXcul
sion from Dunn and the surrounding coun-
try, giving them his train and only charg
ing fare on the Seaboard Air Line from
Apex, his junction point, to Raleigh and
return. Such Kindness is greatly appre-
ciated both by the citizens of Raleigh and
the patrons OF the road.
1t is cause for congratulation that the
burned Seaboard Air Line shops have been
rebuilt and are now having The machinery
placed in them. We hope that they will
soon be employing more hands than ever
before.
What we expect. will be of more bene-
fit to our city. than any other single en-
tcrprise, will be the building of the Raj
cigh and Pamlco Railroad. which is now
assured. Its completion will place Raleigh
much nearer tide water than any other
route and will open up and develope O
large section Of country tributary to our
merchants The city voted a subscription
of $4,000 to the stock of the road
Our city has been frequently criticised
on account Of the hotel facilities. We
are glad to report, however, that our
hot oil haf, Ill
proved, and we are sure that they will
then compare favorably with any in the
country.
We have frequently agitated the ques-
ton of securing a government road to the
Federal Cemetery. 1t is needless to men
ton how much it is to be desired. We
hope the matter will be kept alive and
that something may yet be accomplished.
In our industrial life, the most important
event has been the taking over of the
North Carolina car shops by the Hildrup
Wood Vulcanizing and Fire Proofing Com
pany. plant which will in few months
be OF inestimable benefit to our com
munity. The Melrosc Knitting Mill is
building an addition to their plant, and
we understand that other mills have i'm
provements in contemplation.
Our Chamber and the community in
general has sustained a very serious loss
in the death OF one of our best business
men and former presidents, Mr. c. G..
Latta which occurred very suddenly last
July. We miss his genial company, wise
counsel and valuable advice very sorely.
1t is matter of regret that we shall
be deprived of the annual Thanksgiving
Inter Collegiate debate this year, last
year the cup was won by Richmond Col
lege. and the debate viii be held in that
city this year. We trust that next
Thanksgiving we shall have it again.
Respectfully submitted.

northwest and southeast, and readily
Sraceable by its great outcrop from Chi

through to Evergreen, in Jefferson county
near Platte canon. Shaifer controls about
three miles of it. 1t contains sheets of
clear transparent mica that will average
q by s inches and II by "a inches. In GER
tais sections of white quartz and feldspar
the sheets are clear as crystal. These
deposits run in pockets of 200 to 800 feet
