H ILE many Southern states are feeling the burden of a huge cotton crop at low prices. North Carolina, which not only ruises cotton but has also come to manufacture cotton goods on a large scale, can see the other side o f the picture. North Carolina Is passing through a renaissance. Due to her steadily In tensifying shift from cotton fields to mill centers and from once-ldle streams to throbbing dynamos, she has suddenly "»discovered herself on the threshold o f Industrial power. The legendary North Carolinian who in the ’60s called his three daughters Rosin, Tar and Turpentine, would today be naming them after cigarette brands, furniture trademarks and cotton-goods patterns. Charlotte, situation between the big hydroelectric developments along the Catawba and Yadkin rivers. Is a plexus of this new industrialism. In the last 25 years the number o f tex tile mills operating within a 100-mile radius o f that city has been increased fivefold, with a present spindleage o f 10,000,000. An hour’s ride beyond Charlotte Is Gastonlu, one o f the Largest textile , centers In the United States. O f its 20,000 people, about three-fourths are workers in the 42 mills whose tall stacks cut the sky. Yet, In the town’s broad, tree-shaded streets, lined with neat cottages on well-kept, flower- fringed plots, one feels no oppressive sense o f concentrated Industry, but rather the restfulness o f some model suburb, widespread to sun, air and surrounding countryside. With mill workers’ cottages rentable nt $3 a month, with water and electric light free, and a mild climate, neces sitating little fuel, which Is obtainable at cost. It Is not uncommon for moun tain families to work at Gastonia long enough to pay olT their farm mort gage and then return to the Bine Ridge. Gaston county contains 98 textile mills, which represent one- sixth o f the state's total spindleage und consume almost one-third o f her cotton crop. W Winston-Salem’s Factories. Another center o f Importance In North Carolina’s new Industrialism Is Winston-Salem. It has been designat ed “ the twin city” since its component towns were merged in 1913, but no twins ever showed greater dissimilar ity than old Salem and yonthful Win ston. Here one has the stately Eighteenth century and the Industrial Twentieth century side by side, with a mere street or so acting as the hyphen. Salem signifies that "peace" which was sought hy the persecuted Morav ians who founded It In 1753. And that “ peace” has never forsaken old Salem. Cross a few streets and one la atnld Winston’s humming bee hives o f Industrialism, where 15.000 wage-earners are turning out their daily trainloads o f manufactured to bacco, furniture and textiles on a scale that leads Uncle Sam to rate Winston-Salem as the South's second Industrial city. A circle enclosing Winston-Salem with the denims center o f Greensboro and the furniture center o f High Point delimits an Industrial patch 30 miles across, representing an annual prod ucts value o f more than $300,000,000. Winston-Salem’s stamp-sticking ma chines consume asnually the most ex pensive meal In the world— a matter o f I100.000.ii00 worth o f Uncle Sam's familiar blue imprints. That Is the sum o f her federal tobacco taxes, which represent one-half o f those paid by North Carol Ira. From the tobacco standpoint. North Carolina's civic twins are really Win ston and Durham.
