Today there are in North Carolina something over 7.500 separate and distinct manufacturing establishments. giving employment to over 100.000 laborers. which represents a population of between 300.000 and 400.000. Nearly all of this army of employees representing. as I say. a population of about 400.000. came from the farms. while there has been practically no accessions to this population to supply this drain except that of natural increase. We have had no foreign immigration in Noith Carolina. Less than onehalf of 1 per cent of the people of that State are of foreign extraction. There went to North Carolina last year only 183 foreigners. and the average of the last twentyfive years is a much smaller number. Nor have we had. except to a very slight degree. immigration from other parts of this country. So that practically the whole number of these 100.000 laborers. representing 300.000 or 400.000 people that have gone into the factories. have been drawn from the farms. while there have been. as I have said before. no accessions from the outside to replenish this drain. Manifestly.
