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.
