NORTH CAROLINA'S RESOURCES, By GOVERNOR R. B. GLENN. Industrially, North Carolina has evolved to that position of prosperity and output where the oniy limits upon continued expansion are those which result from basic limitations. That is to say, that whereas the problem of former years was to secure the in- vestmtnt of the capital of the State in active State industrial enterprise, the time has come when the lesson has been so WjU karned that the question has shifted to the procurement of the necessary capital to carry out the plans of an industrially awakened citizenry. In industrial development, the mills that manufacture fabrice still lead in im- portante. The State has taken first place among all those in the U.nion in the number of textile manufactories and is second to Massachusetts in point of value of production. The growth of this industry is t.vpical of that of the State, is in a large sense the index of its prosperity, for what has been done in cotton milling, while done in larger figures, has been equalled if not exceeded in other numerous lines of industry.

"We want to tell you further, brethren, about the grace of God which has been evident in the churches of Macedonia; For in the midst of an ordeal of severe tribulation, their abundance of joy and their depth of poverty (together) have overflowed in a wealth of lavish generosity on their part. For, as I can bear witness, they gave according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability; and they did it voluntarily, .... first they gave themselves to the Lord...."

This movement was under the leadership of John and Charles Wesley, George Whitfield, and others. While students at Ox- ford, the Wesley brothers would conduct meetings with those people who were interested in developing their spiritual ex- periences.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    Did You Know? North Carolina

    Did You Know? North Carolina Discover the history, geography, and government of North Carolina. The Land and Its People The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain affords opportunities for farming, fishing, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright-leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state’s many beaches. The mainland coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains—including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in eastern America (6,684 feet)—add to the variety that is apparent in the state’s topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and textile manufacturing plants. The Piedmont Plateau, though dotted with many small rolling farms, is primarily a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles. Here are located North Carolina’s five largest cities. In the southeastern section of the Piedmont—known as the Sandhills, where peaches grow in abundance—is a winter resort area known also for its nationally famous golf courses and stables.

Gehrke I THE GERMAN PERIOD, 1747-1790 Practically throughout the eighteenth century the Pennsyl- vania-Germans ^ in North Carolina remained German in speech, although, from the beginning of their settlement, a few were able to speak English. John Ramsauer of the present Lincoln County kept a ''Mamberranton" of his journey to North Caro- lina, in which such entries appear as ''August 27 day 1752 to his gorney went . Cot to my gorneys ent to Antry Lamberts tis 6 day of October."- Martin Phifer's knowledge of English must have been considerable, since he represented Mecklenburg County in the General Assembly of 1764. In 1771, the Epis- copal rector in Rowan County declared that frequently such Lutherans as understood English attended his services. ^ On one occasion in 1773, an English traveler in the present Ala- mance County found it impossible to make his inquiries in- telligible, ^ while on a previous visit to this region he had found at least one ''Dutchman" with whom he could carry on a con- versation.^'' In Burke County, "Paul Henkel in 1787 delivered 1 Available records of the small colony of Palatines, who settled in and near New Bern in 1710, are too meager to trace the transition to English. In 1740, twenty-five Palatines (some with Anglicized names, or more probably. Palatines and English) signed an agree- ment to have a chapel built on Trent River "for the use of the high Germans and the Church of England ..

I, Asa Biggs, was born on 4th day of February 1811, so that now I am in the fifty fifth year of my age; and although I have passed through many vicissitudes yet upon a general review of my history I have abundant cause of gratitude and thankfulness to Almighty God for His supporting and directing care and for the eminent success with which I have been able to surmount difficulties and to attain among my fellow men my present distinguished position. I have concluded, my dear children, if time and opportunity are afforded me, to note for your instruction and information some of the incidents of my life, with the hope that this legacy of affection may prove useful and entertaining to you, in the journey of life on which you have entered, and may stimu- late you to a course of conduct in ivhich, on the termination of your journey you may have as much cause to felicitate yourselves as your affectionate father. I shall not write with a view of critical composi- tion, but to detail facts, with such lessons of experience as may suggest themselves as I pass along.

This volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Commission in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of 1915, in convenient form, information about the State which otherwise would require much investigation in many different sources. It is also hoped that it may prove of value and service to others who desire to have in succinct form such data about North Carolina. Similar Manuals, issued in 1903, 1905, and 1907 by the Secretary of State, and in 1909, 1911, and 1913 by the North Carolina Historical Commission, have proven of very general utility and interest. Re- quests for copies have come not only from all over North Carolina, but from most of the States of the Union, and the demand for them has been so great that all of these editions except those for 1909 and 1913 have long been exhausted, and it is now extremely difficult to secure a copy. The Historical Commission trusts that the members of the General Assembly of 1915 will find this volume of service to them in their work. NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION. J.
