  From 
  this 
  exhibit 
  it 
  appears 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  ninety-six 
  coun- 
  

   ties 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  eighty-seven 
  grew 
  tobacco 
  in 
  1879, 
  though 
  

   some 
  of 
  them 
  respectively 
  but 
  a 
  small 
  quantity. 
  There 
  are 
  no 
  

   statistics 
  showing 
  the 
  quantity 
  actually 
  produced 
  annually 
  

   in 
  the 
  State, 
  but 
  the 
  large 
  warehousemen 
  and 
  other 
  compe- 
  

   tent 
  judges 
  estimate 
  it 
  at 
  about 
  60,000,000 
  pounds. 
  The 
  

  

  *The 
  county 
  of 
  Durham 
  since 
  formed 
  of 
  portions 
  of 
  Orange 
  and 
  Wake. 
  Dur- 
  

   ham 
  and 
  Wake 
  will 
  this 
  year 
  produce 
  over 
  2,000,000 
  pounds. 
  Wake 
  hitherto 
  has 
  

   paid 
  very 
  little 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  tobacco, 
  her 
  chief 
  product 
  

   having 
  been 
  cotton. 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  tobacco 
  lands 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  lie 
  in 
  this 
  

   county. 
  Efforts 
  are 
  being 
  made 
  to 
  establish 
  a 
  market 
  at 
  Raleigh, 
  the 
  capital 
  

   of 
  the 
  State.
