Tobacco is the principal money crop, although cotton, corn and truck are also important. The County has good roads and splendid schools and churches.

It has large tobacco industries, manufacturing such well-known brands as Duke's Mixture, Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco and a great many brands of cigarettes, including the famous Chesterfield. It is the home of the Durham Hosiery Mills (manufacturers of the Durable Durham Hosiery, the largest manufacturers of hosiery in the world), and the Golden Belt Manufacturing Company, the largest small bag manufacturers in the world. There are also manufactured in Durham Erwin and White Star sheetings and pillow cases, Glasgow Zephyrs ginghams, chambrays and cheviots, Virginia-Carolina fertilizers, Occo- neechee, Peerless and Climax flours, silk shirtings and sports goods, novelty fabrics, blank books, castings and iron products, cigars, harness, bread, ice, mattresses, brick, overalls, wagons, building materials and proprietary medicines. On account of nearness to source of raw materials, cheap electric power, and its transportion facilities, Durham offers un- excelled opportunities for the location of industries.

Streets-Durham is today one of the best paved cities in the State, and several hun- dred thousand dollars are being expended each year for street paving. The white-way lighting system in the business district is admitted to be one of the best in the South.
Transportation-Durham has five lines of railroads, radiating in seven different directions. It has two lines of Southern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Norfolk and Western Railway, the Durham and Southern Railway, and the Norfolk- Southern Railroad. These railroads afford unusually good freight facilities.

Taxes And Valuation-In 1926 the City of Durham had an assessed valuation of $71, 721, 785, with a city tax rate of $1.35 on the $100. The tax rate showed a decrease of 5c on the $100 over the previous year. Property assessed on 75% of true value. The County of Durham had an assessed valuation of $83,828,563 and a county tax rate of $1.05, which showed a decrease of five cents over the previous year. Property assessed on 75% of true value. No property tax is levied by the State. The City Council has already stated that a material reduction would be made in the city tax rate for 1927, the exact amount of decrease depending on values shown by the quadrennial assessment now being made.
Water-The City of Durham has an ample supply of pure water. An impounding reservoir, completed in 1926, stores 4,600,000,000 gallons which, if used for no other pur- pose, would at the present rate of consumption supply the demand for a period of three years. There is no longer any danger of a water shortage ever occurring. The water is excellent for domestic purposes, and is soft and free from iron, making it very desirable for industrial uses.
