... Loyalty ...
If you work for a man, in Heaven's name WORK FOR HIM. If - he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him; speak well of him; stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. If put to a pinch, AN OUNCE OF LOYALTY is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside condemn to your heart's content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it. If you do, you are loosening the tendrils that hold you to the institution, and the first high wind that comes along you will be uprooted and blown away, and prob- ably you will never know why.

PREFACE
North Carolina
The first attempt at colonization was made in 1548 by the illustri- ous Sir Walter Raleigh.
North Carolina was foremost to resist British tyranny. First pitched battle fought at Alamance May 12, 1771. Declaration of Independence signed at Mecklenburg, 1776. North Carolina lost 35,124 soldiers during the Civil War, having furnished more and lost a greater number of soldiers than any other Southern State (number from North Carolina, 125,000).
The population is of a singularly homogeneous character, being Virginians, mainly English, Pennsylvanians, mainly Scotch-Irish and German; Scotch-Irish, Scotch Highlanders and Lowlanders, Swiss and French Huguenots. Population, nearly 2,000,000.
North Carolina's position is nearly between the parallels 34 de- grees and 361% degrees north latitude, and between the meridians 751/2 degrees and 841% degrees west longitude. Extreme length, 50314 miles; extreme breadth, 18712 miles; average breadth, 100 miles; area, 52,286 square miles, of which 48,666 is land and 3,620 is water.

Mt. Mitchell, 6,711 feet high, is the highest peak of the Blue Ridge Range. Forty-three peaks exceed 6,000 feet in height; eighty-two peaks exceed 5,000 feet in height. The mountain region embraces 6,000 square miles. The mountains are covered with deep rich soil and clothed with massive forests to their tops. The walnuts, pop- lars and oaks attain a size that would hardly be credited by one who had not seen them.
All kinds of fruit attain a high state of perfection and all fruits, vegetables and grains are remarkably productive.
Average mean temperature, 59.6 from 1882 to 1897. Average snowfall for same period, 11 inches annually. Precipitation, 50.6. Wetest year on record, 1877; dryest year on record, 1897.

From Guilford county, west, it is 250 miles to the extreme south border of the State, while from Guildford, North, it is 211 miles to the most Northerly point on the Atlantic Coast. Thus showing Guilford to be in almost the exact centre of the State from North and South.
In the heart of the delightfully healthy Piedmont Plateau, midway between the mountains and the sea.
Guilford, is the only county in the State with two cities with over 10,000 population each, and no where in the State is the hand of improvement more visible than in Guilford county, almost the entire region is dotted over with thriving villages and towns. The homes indicate a high degree of thrift. Guilford has long been recognized as the banner edu- cational county on the State, it is the home of the noted Guil- ford battle field of Revolutionary fame. The largest Denim mill in the world is located here, where abundant labor is al- ways to be found and raw material for the great diversity of manufacturing enterprises located here. Guilford county has the best public school facilities. The largest number of fac- tories. The great diversity of manufacturing establishments The most churches and the largest population of any county in the State.
Guilford, has built 100 miles of good macadam road during the past five years and going steadily forward with the work of good road building, with the result that numerous modern homes are being built in the country along the line of the good roads.
Living is cheaper than in the Northern States, mild healthy climate and mild Winters make little fuel necessary. No ice in winter or droughts in summer to make it necessary for manu- facturing plants to close down.
The soil in the Piedmont Section is very much diversified. This added to favorable climatic conditions, offers great Agri- cultural possibilities for the farmer in all lines of farming and trucking, which finds a ready sale on the local market at good prices.
