are feeling the burden of a

not only ruises cotton but has also

North Carolina Is passing through

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

broad, tree-shaded streets, lined with
neat cottages on well-kept, flower-
