• Excerpt from Annual Report of the Colored Orphan Asylum Located at Oxford, North Carolina: From December 1, 1908, to December 1, 1909National Bank Of Oxford, North Carolina, supplemented with the powerful recommendation of our good and big hearted Governor, Hon. \v. W'. Kitchin, the Legislature of North Carolina, which was composed of a class Of clear headed and business-like statesmen, appropriated to meet the crying and aching demand Of this Institution with the understanding that the generous public will raise a similar amount. Now, that the Home might be sure to do its part in this great undertaking and especially to insure and guarantee an amount to equal that so kindly given by the State, we commenced in the early spring with energies bent double to mould and make brick by hand, the Old-fashioned way, and did make a few, but soon found the method to be out Of keeping with the progressive age and sadly deficient in economy and rapidity. In the meantime, however, this Old-fashioned and feeble undertaking has served to land us just deep enough into the earth to discover, what we think to be, a little mint in a Clay bed on our farm, from which we expect financial profit to the Home in the future as well as the manufacture Of brick to meet our present demands. So changing our tactics, and with the use Of a no. 2 Kell's brick machine, which we purchased from Mr. G. K. Hund ley at a cost Of for cash, and one 30-horse power engine of Mr. \v. E. Cannady, who is a friend of the orphan cause and has helped us in our struggles as has Mr. Hundley, at a cost Of we are in a position to furnish all the brick necessary for the new buildings here in question. W'e have already manufactured enough brick to erect the main dormitory building, in'contemplation, having burned with great success one kiln Of one hundred thousand brick and one hundred thousand more made and being placed in the kiln for burning. It may be interesting and eneo uraging to the publicto know that the orphan boys are the most conspicuous laborers at the Asylum brickyard, and that they have learned to do their work well there. This is also true on the farm and in the shoe and harness, black smith and wood shops.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
