NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE FOR NEGROES


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, of 200 beds, was a gift to the city and county of Mr. George W. Watts. Lincoln Hospital, of 100 beds, is largely the gift of Mr. Benjamin N. Duke. Duke University is a living memorial 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 popula- tion, 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. 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.

Transportation : Durham has five lines of railroad, radiat- ing in seven directions. It has two lines of Southern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Norfolk and Western Rail- way, the Durham and Southern Railway, and the Norfolk South- ern Railroad.

Excellent bus service is maintained between Durham and Raleigh, Henderson, Oxford, Roxboro, Greensboro, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Siler City and Danville, Va.


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 purpose, would at the present rate of consump- tion, supply the demand for a period of three years. There is no longer any danger of a water shortage. The water is ex- cellent for domestic uses and is soft and free from iron, making it very desirable for industrial pur- poses.
