A POCKET MANUAL OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE USE OF 1EMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION 1909. COMPILED AND ISSUED BY THE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1909. f^ PREFACE. This little volume was compiled by the Historical Commission in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of L909, in convenient form, information about the Stale 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 1905 and 1!)(>7 by the Secretary of State, have proven of very general utility and interest. Requests for copies have come not only from all over North Carolina, but from most of the for them has been so -rent thai I States of the Union, and the demand editions have been and it is now extremely dif I both long exhausted, ficult to secure a copy. A comparatively small number of copie the .Manual for 1909 have been printed, because it is (lie hope of the Historical Commission later to elaborate it, incorporating a great deal more data about the State, and giving North Carolina a Manual equal to those issued by the other States of the Union. In the meantime the Historical Commission trusts that the mem hers of the General Assembly of 1909 will find this little volume of service to them in their work. r c r CALENDAR, 1909.
