MR. HUMPHREYS was a native of Maryland; he came to this country some 30 years ago, a very poor man, and acquired, by his industry and enterprise, an immense property for his facilities and situation. It was MR. HUMPHREYS, we believe, who by his own individual exertion gave the first successful impulse to the cotton manufacturing business of North Carolina; and his extensive factor, in this place, with its various looms and thousands of spindles, all in successful operation, we trust will long stand as the best monument to his history.
