 however, very nearly the increase since 1890 in capital, annual

It was also ascertained that in this same time about twenty 

 plants, with an annual output of 25,000,000 feet, had ceased run- 

 ning. The above increase in loblolly pine mills lay largely in 

 "Washington, Onslow, Martin, Lenoir, Halifax, Craven, Colum- 

 bus and Xew Hanover counties, and in long-leaf mills in Moore, 

 Xash and Cumberland counties. 



The total increase in capital for the year 1893 was |392,000, 

 and in yearly capacity was 46,000,000 feet. 



There was besides this an increase for 1893 of twenty miles of 

 logging railroad, valued, with the rolling stock, at |80,000. 



MISCELLAXEOrS WOOD-WOKKIXG INDUSTRIES. 



There are several minor industries in eastern Xorth Carolina 

 Avhich are largely or entirely dependent upon timber for their 

 products and which annually consume large amounts of timber or

 three barrel factories making truck barrels and boxes, with an 

 output of 53,000 barrels and 1,790,000 staves, valued at §22,000; 

 two bucket factories using white cedar; and a great number of
