TO THE READER.

OFFICE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
Raleigh, N. C., March 1st, 1878.

        The collection and publication of statistics and facts relating to the industries and general condition of our people, and the physical resources and advantages of our State, is of the highest importance to us at this time. The tabulated statements made on the following pages contain information greatly sought for, especially by foreigners and citizens of other States, now that public attention is being attracted towards our State, and it is very important that it should be as accurate as possible. These statements as a rule were made by a class of our citizens whose constant employment on the farm gave them but little time to devote to other matters, and when we consider this fact, the reports are creditably full and correct. But as these tables are designed to be placed prominently and permanently before the public in the Hand-Book, for which I am collecting material, it is important that each county should be fully and faithfully represented. These advanced sheets are therefore sent to you for your examination, and should you find any omissions or errors in the statement for your county, will you do the Department and its Correspondents the favor to correct on the blank form accompanying this Report, and return to this office at your earliest convenience?

Your immediate attention would greatly oblige,
Yours Respectfully,

L. L. POLK,
Commissioner.

COTTON AND WOOLEN MILLS.

        It will be seen by reference to the following statement, that I give the names of fifty-three mills, seven of which have not reported. Of the forty-six reported, five are operated by steam and forty-one by water. It will be observed, also, that several of the mills have not the number of looms reported, while others have omitted the capacity, and others still the number of operatives and the amount of capital invested. Seven of the mills, as before stated, have not reported. Thirty-five report amount of capital invested which aggregates $1,547,300.

        The aggregate number of operatives in the forty-four reported is 1620. The aggregate number of spindles employed in the forty-five mills reported is 82,240.

        Only seven report that their operations are ever checked by cold weather, and those rarely, and only for a few days. That this interest will soon become a very important one in our industrial wealth none can doubt, and it is very desirable that a full and complete exhibit of its growth and progress should be kept before the public. I therefore hope, if there be errors or omissions in the statement, that you will at once correct and return to this office. I want every Cotton and Woolen Mill in the State represented in this list.

        P. S.--Will the reader examine the report for his county carefully, and write me at once giving corrections, if any are to be made.

CITIES, TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

        In the second column, opposite the name of the county, the name of the county seat is given and is designated by the letters C. H. In the same column are the names of the other towns or villages in the same county, and the third column shows their distance and direction from the county seat. The population for each county is taken from the census of 1870. Any corrections to this table will be thankfully received.
