Company Find Ready Sale in Over
Twenty States. Big New Five Story
Building Erected TO Meet Increased
Demand foe Output. How This Gteat
Business Has Grown at Carthage.

Nearly every great industry in
North Carolina has grown into its
large proportions from small begin
nings. Few were born with ample
means and modern plants. They have,
been like the giant oak that grew
from a tiny acorn. The foundations.
on a small scale, were laid deep. and
broad, and expansion has been steady
and sometimes slow, but every forward
step taken has been held. and NORTH
Carolina, industrially, has come to
rank as the first of Southern States in
several of the most important lines
OF industry, and nearly every ono of
them has grown naturally and without
artificial aid because the men at the
head have been conscientious workers
and their product, however small. has
N of the best workmanship and up
to guarantee.
I ne great cotton mill industry was
born in the minds of a few men like
Edwin M. Holt who utilized the water
over that ran through their farms.
See how great an enterprise has grown
from the crude Manufacture o. cotton
in the little cheap mills erected on
creeks and rivers In less than half
a century, from little mills with small
capacity North Cardinals cotton mill
industry has grown until today there
are more cotton mills in this State
than in any Southern State, and the
number is excelled only by Massa
chusetts of all the States of the
Union. Less than forty years aeo
Messrs. w. r. Blackwell, Julian S.
Carr. and Washington Duke were
manufacturing few hundred bags of
Durham smoking tobacco, and now
the names of these men and the
brands they manufactured are as we'll
known in China and Australia as in

SALEM FEMALE ACADEMY:
ITS INSPIRING HISTORY

Continued from Page Six-Sec. One.)
This peculiarly personal influence
which has always characterized the
influence of Salem on its pupils, is
perhaps best illustrated by the man
ner in which the question of the re-
ligious life is treated. Salem has
always been deeply religious insti-
tuition, but at the same time strictly
non-sectarian The utmost care is
exercised to deepen the religious ma
ture of each scholar. The result is
that when a member of one of our
denominations enters Salem she is SO
Influenced that when fshe leaves she
is far better Baptist, or Luthran,
or Presbyterian as the case may be
In a recent conversation with a Meth
odist minister in another city, the
latter said Miss -- was the pest
Methodist, when she came from, Sa-
lem, that | have in my congregation.
She at once practically assumed the
leadership of our congregation among
the young people, by virtue of her
deeper Christian nature" This illus
trates the point. The pupils all live
together under the purest rellglouS
influence, but violence is never done
to the home faith and beliefs, and
Salem has the unquestioned CONN.,
dence of all.
1t would not be right to leave the
subject of the school of today without
calling attention to the very wide
scope of the patronage. When man
wants a good, safe home influence
for his child, and he knows that the
various influences described above can
be found in Salem, he will send one,
two or three thousand miles to gain
this particular advantage This fact
will explain why recently within
day or two, pupils were received from
Vermont, from California, from Kan
sas, from Texas, from Florida, from
Central America and from the West
Indies. Sixteen States and eight for
eign countries We're represented on
last years register. Probably no other
school in the South can show more
widely scattered patronage, and it but
verifies the claim which the peculiar
safe home care of Salem has always
held upon parents, regardless of creed
or belief distance or age
OF course it is needless to enlarge
on the excellence of the collegiate
work. or of the special schools of
braces all the advantages called for
by the A. 3. course, and the college
is entitled by law to confer all such
degrees as are usually conferred by
Institutions of learning.
The Centennial Celebration.
In 1902 the completion of the one
hundred years history of Salem
Academy and College was celebrated
with appropriate festivities. There
were gathered together men of re-
nown. and women of prominence
from North and South and the pa
irons and alumnae were present i'm

ton continued, with eloquent address
es. fine music, and enthusiasm every
where.

Some of The Events.
The Great Interstate Gun Shoot is

found the best and the foremost trap
shooters in the State and in the coun-

A great event of the week will be
the intercollegiate oratorical contest

the State will be represented by their
best speakers. The NOrtn CarOnnd
Agricultural Society has offered splen-
did awards in this contest and it is
to be exciting.
The great social affair of the week
is to be the Marshals' Ball on Friday
night, this to be an event of unusual
splendor and brilliancy, in which the
most beautiful and the most graceful
young women of the State will parti-
cipate, it being certain that gowns OF
unusual attractiveness will be worn
There viii also be the Canital Club
dance during the week. and other
dances besides these, there being one
scheduled for each night in the week.
Many societies are to meet. the Con
federate, Mexican War and Spanish
American War veterans are to hold
meetings. The Cotton Growers AS

All in all this is to be a Fair of the
greatest of delight and unusual in
struction. 1t will brighten UP life and
add to knowledge, and no one should
miss it, or they will ever regret doing
so. All North Carolina is to be here,

the former pupils and friends. Slowly
but surely the funds for this splen-

cured, and the influence of this new
home for the music department is
being shown b. the increased enthu-
siasm which is abroad More than
three hundred registered in the music
department last year, and the fame
which Salem has always had for it's
excellent work in music is a splendid
foundation for the greatly increased
breadth of plan now being laid for
the future of the music department.

Concluding Remarks.

is, has place for a description of only
Il few points of interest No doubt
the detailed plans which govern the
om-company life would be of in
terest to many. SO, too the manner
in which days work is laid out the
curriculum and the special schools
come under the same head. All these
matters. however. belong rather to
the catalogue than to the historical
sketch.

there are two things to which we will
