MADE-|N-CAROL|NA
EXPOSITION OPENS
THE PRODUCTS OF 60 YEARS OF
GROWTH MEET THE ADMIRING
EYES OF VISITORS.
GRADYS PROPHECY FULFILLED
Al the Same Time Abundant Evidence
10 to be Seen That the carolinas
Have Just Begun to Grow.

Charlotte, N. C.-The Made in
Carolinas Exposition, presenting in
truly wonderful array the products of
so years of growth in industry, was
opened without ceremony or osten-
tation, the doors simply being thrown
open to admit the crowd which had
been gathering during the morning
hours.
Great interest centered in the pro-
gram of the opening day, that Of
the afternoon being featured by the
address of Governor Cameron Morri-
son.
A trip through the great building
just before the opening hour showed
that the long, hard efforts of the ex-
positions employees and the employees
of the exhibitors had brought their ac-
tivities practically to the end
When the visitor realizes that the
Carolinas so years ago were in the
grip of poverty, and for years after
the war between the states struggled
against all manner of difficulties and
adversely, the real story of the expo
sition stands out with vividness and
impressiveness. For the first time
the New South is truly presented in
definite form. It proclaims that these
two states in their progress and pros
perity have more than fulfilled the
brilliant prophecies of Henry w.
Grady. At the same time, abundant
evidence is offered that the Caro-
inas have just begun to grow. -

Chapel Hill Needs Hotel.

Chapel Hil1.-Probably no other
town ever needed a good hotel more
sorely than does this seat of the
University of North Carolina. The
need is discussed seriously enough by
the inhabitants themselves, but it
takes the voice of passer-through to
register the genuine note of distress.
Indeed, the tone of the stranger who
has sought eating and sleeping accom-
modations in Chaepl Hill usually be-
trays something worse than distress
it contains more than a hint of mar
tyrdom.

GREAT QUANTITIES OF FlNNY.
TRIBE sHTPPED ANNUALLY
TO NORTHERN MARKETS.
FISH MONEY STAYS At HOME
Cash Does Not 90 Back TO the North
In Form Of Remittances for High
Priced Fertilizer and Seed.

Elizabeth City.-The fish shipped to
Northern markets through Elizabeth
City annually reach an aggregate val
ne not far short of half million dol
lars, according to figures and estr-
mates given by A. S. Daniels, manager
of the Globe Fish company and r. E.
Black, agent of the affiliated trans
portation company, the Wanchese
Line. The business done by the
Globe Fish company alone during the
year 1920 totalled more than $3.50, 900;
and for the year ending May Is 1921;
the Wanchise Line handled through
shipments of 1872, 100 pound boxes
of fish in addition to between $1,000
and 10000 boxes for the Globe Fish
company.
The value Of the fish business to
northeastern North Carolina is spec
tally apparent when one remembers
that practically all of the money thus
brought into this section is here to
stay.
1t does not go back to the North in
the form OF remittances for expensive
fertilizerI and seed, as Is largely the
case with thetruck crops. Finding it
way directly, into the pockets Of the
fishermen themselves, much of this
comes directly to Elizabeth
City wholesalers and retailers for
food, furniture, salt and ice
for fish packing, and a multitude OF
other supplies.
