Industrial North Carolina.

Charlotte News
The New York commercial one OF
the best trade papers in the country,
has jus; issued Il supplement devoted
to the textile industry OF North Caro-
lima. The supplement is big success
and is one of the most complete eX-
positions of the cotton mill industry
of this State that has ever appeared
in any newspaper outside OF the
borders OF North Carolina. The News
is gratified to note he accuracy with
which the work was done and the
matter presented gives IL good idea
of the development, the present scope
and the future of the textile business
in this section. 1t will place before
the people OF the whole country IL
more complete idea of what is being
done along these lines i'll the Old
North State.
The Commercial had special repre-
sentatives in the field for six weeks
gathering the data that appears i'll
the textile edition and they have
done heir work in Il most creditaDle
manner. Many OF the mills have
taken advantage OF the supplement to
advertise their products and no doubt
the money so invested will have IL
most desirable result.
EditOrially. the commercial has the
following to say with reference to the
textile industry in North Carolina,
which we take both pride and pleas
ure III reproducing here:
The astonishing Industrial develop
ment of the South, accentuated by it's
especial progress i'll textile manufacture
ing has led the Commercial to devote
several pages of tOday's issue to the i'm
pOrtant phase, as illustrated in the mill
Industries of North Carolina.
The growing Importance, nationally,
of those enterprises and their increasing
significance to New York. through which
city so largely their products reach the
consumer. have justified the commercial
in keeping sreprcsentativesin the North
Carolina field for many weeks in the
study and recording of industrial cOndi-
tions there
1T is impossible. within the limits of
newspaper reports and the tabulate ted
figures of products, to convey an ade-
quate idea of the enormously increased
resOurcefulness that the North CAROLYN
ians have developed in the last few years
The State is only Just realizing its
strength and. giant like, girding itself for
the strenuous Industrial race.
a. careful review OF the textile industry
pages will again confirm the view al
ready expressed in these columns that
the industrial progress of the South
and especially of North Carolina-has
gone hand-in-h hand with a financial con
servatism worthy of all honor. The
Over-capitalization of enterprises is rare
ly found, the creation of demand by pure
ly business methods is the rule; and pa
tient building up from small beginnings
is the pride OF & people that has found it
self anew.
The Commercial has only praise and
congratulations to bestow on the work
achieved by the North Carolina TWEEN
tieth-century spirit To those who have,
with true Southern cordially. placed it's
representatives in touch with North Car
olina's vital industrial facts-even
against the dodderings of any metropol-
itan old lady of commercial Journalism
who would have none of special textile
issues-the Commercial gives especial rec
ognition. To build up industries, to
make Il dollar grow where Il dime grew
before, to present North Carolina to the
metropolis and to the commercial world
as no other newspaper can, and bespeak
more and more attention for her increas-
ing industrial Importance are the pur-
poses of the pages devoted to this sub
iect today
All that is contained in the above is
we'll and truthfully expressed. To say
The State is only Just realizing its
strength and. giant-like, girding it
self for the strenuous Industrial race
is expressing it precisely Another
statement made use of, which is one
OF the keynotes to the wonderful sue
cess that has been achieved along in
dustrial and other lines in North Car
DINA, may we'll be emphasized. 1t is:
The over-capitalization of enter
prises is rarely found; the creation OF
demand by purely business methods
is the rule; and the patient building
up from small beginnings is the pride
OF a people that has found itself
anew North Carolina is safe and
sound. She began modestly and what
she has accomplished in agriculture,
i'll mining, in manufactures. in educa-
ton and in religion has been done
with earnestness of purpose and sin
certify of labor. Our people have a
deep and abiding confidence in their
ability and the success they have al
ready achieved serves only as an i'm
petus to even greater things III the
future.
