A POCKET MANUAL OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE USE OF MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION 1911 COMPILED AND EDITED BY R. D. W. CONNOR SECRETARY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION RALEIGH E. M. UZZELL a CO.. STATE PRINTERS 1911 PREFACE. This little volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Com- mission in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of 1911, in convenient form, information about the State which other- wise would require much investigation in many different sources. Ir 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 by the North Carolina Historical Commission, 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 States of the Union, and The demand for them has been so great that these editions 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 1911 will find this little volume of service to them in their work. On CALENDAR, 1911.
