As the tobacco industry grew and prospered, certain persons used some of their divi- dends in establishing cotton mills, and this industry soon assumed a position of importance in the industrial life of the city. Later hosiery mills were established, until to-day Durham ranks as the first city of the South in the manufacture of full-fashioned silk hosiery. Other industries were added from time to time, including flour mills, fertilizer plants, iron works, wood-working plants, printing establishments, etc., until in 1931 there are engaged in in- dustry more than 7,365 wage-earners, producing $138,224,445 of manufactured products annually. These industries pay into the Federal treasury approximately $70,000,000 each year.
In 1924 a program of civic improvement was undertaken, and although it was interrupted by the World War, it has now reached the point where Durham has all of the conveniences of a modern city, including complete sewerage, asphalt streets, paved sidewalks, electric power, gas, the latest dial telephone service, Western Union and Postal Telegraph service, American Telegraph and Telephone repeater station, insuring rapid long-distance telephone communication, a fine recreation program, and a system of water works with an impound- ing reservoir sufficient to care for the needs of a city of 100,000 people.

VIEW OF NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE FOR NEGROES
18
Any story about Durham would be incomplete without mention of the notable contribu- tion which the Negro race has made to the industrial, commercial and civic development of the community. The progress the race has made here has been truly amazing. Under the leadership of E. R. Merrick, and later C. C. Spaulding and their associates, our colored people have established industries, insurance companies, banks and other commercial busi- nesses which would be creditable to any city. The labor which they furnish our industrial plants is intelligent and dependable. The high type of leaders among the colored people here has made Durham a conspicuous outpost in the advancement of Negro civilization.
One of the finest things about the founders of Durham is that material prosperity merely opened to them avenues of service to mankind. It has been said that more philanthropists have been produced in Durham than in any other city of the South. Watts Hospital,
22 55
##
DUKE HOSPITAL (FOR THE PUBLIC) AND DUKE MEDICAL SCHOOL SITUATED ON THE WEST CAMPUS
of 210 beds, was a gift to the city and county of Mr. George W. Watts. Lincoln Hospital, of 108 beds, is largely the gift of Mr. Benjamin N. Duke. Duke University is a living me- morial to Mr. Washington Duke and his two sons, Benjamin N. Duke and James Buchanan Duke. Other philanthropists have remembered the city from time to time in ways which help in making Durham a good place in which to live and work.
Durham is to-day the fourth city in North Carolina in point of population, having 52,036 inhabitants, and second in importance in the value of its manufactured products. It is far in the lead in its educational facilities, having an unexcelled public school system and Duke University within its corporate limits, and having within a radius of a few miles the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest College, Meredith College, North Carolina State College, Peace Institute, St. Mary's, and the Southern Conservatory of Music.
19
The colored people have in Durham, in addition to excellent public schools for their race, the North Carolina College for Negroes, the only college of liberal arts for Negroes which is supported by taxation in the Southern States.
All these things have been accomplished by people not especially favored by nature, but who by their determination, unconquerable will, tireless effort, and by their faith in mankind and in this community, have created a city which proudly takes its position as one of the representative cities of the new South and of America.
