ENTERTAINING LETTER.
A Former Stokes Boy Writes Inter
estingly of Things '•Down South."
Hamlet, N. C., Jan. 8.
Editor Reporter :
With the dawn of the Now |
Year, I left Greensboro over the
Southern Railway, No, 33 fast
train for the South, passing
numerous prosperous towns and
citios lam by noon in Columbia,
the capital ot' the great old Pal
motto State I rest for a few hours
until next train going my route,
and by 0 p m get off at a little
wayside station called East, over
in the hc.urt of the cotton growing
regions. Here 1 find an institu
tion not found anywhere els§
south the Mason and Dixon line,
a free delivery for the school chil
dren ot' the district Morning and
afternoon yon soo a merry crowd
of happy Children going to and
from school in a bus built express
ly for their transportation. I am
inform -d that four or five schools
wore consolidated and u graded
school established anil that this
feature attracts a larger attendance
and that the difference in the cost
of maintaining the several schools
separately more than pays the ex
pense of hiring the men to operate
tlioso doliverioß.
Well, my work is complete by
Thursday and 1 leave over the
Atlantic Const Lino for Sumter.
Here 1 tind t!.>> true sportsman.
Sumter, a town of 12,000 inhabi
tants has 65 automobiles. I became
weary with the continual toot, toot!
of these machines as they give
warning that they are coining. Well
Sumter is a good town to spend
Sunday, although there is no place
like home to the true "knight of
tho grip." Sunday morning dawns
warm ami clear and 1 go for a
walk over concrete sidewalks and
paved streets, past beautiful homes
where 1 sec in tho yards large
bushes of capo jessamines in full
bloom and 1 compare in mind the
difference between the dead, bleek
winter of western North Carolina
and this a sunny dine where the
violets are now in full bloom. I
am much impressed with the city
hospital which is built with the
now concrete blocks made like a
stone from sand concrete which
hardens with age and becomes as
serviceable as granite. There are
several factories in Sumter that
manufacture these building blocks.
I suppose tho hospital with its
furnishings must have cost at least
$75,000. Well, 1 became weary of
walking before 1 have seen near
all the streets of interest and go
back to the hotel and am in bed
by nine o'clock to fight at one or
two old mosquitoes who have
survived tho colds so far and who
seem to think they should bite
you in January as well as July.
Sumter is tho next best town to
Charleston in the lower S. C.
country and the only thing I dis
like about the town is that water is
running tin year round in gutters
of its streets, but from a sanitary
standpoint, its system is perfect.
Well. Monday morning finds me on
my way to historic Camden, pass
ing 30 miles through vast swamps
and some tine farming lands. I
arrive in tho town whore there is a
monument erected in moruory of
tho great Baron DeKalb, who
came from France to help Ameri
can patriots in their struggle for
liberty during the Revolutionary
war. There is also a monument to
the ".i n fumous Mexican
war 1., u'.c ■ •!. '•ut 1 failed to take
his name. Thore it. a grave of an
Irish lassie near Camden who
followed Cornwallis to America to
see her lover who was dead when
NUMBER 5
ahe arrived, and she died and was
buried by the soldiers and the
tombstone is still there. Camden
has throo tourist hotels and is now
full of people from up north who
, came South for the winter. Golf
and polo are leading pastimes
and quite interesting to me. Somo
idea as to the growing woalth of
this greatjcountry is demonstrated
by the bank statements of Sumter
and Orangeburg; there is on de
posit in these twojtowns over four
million dollars. Just think of
these things, young man from
Stokes, when you emigrate west,
Change your mind, come to a
sunny clime where you can grow •
almost anything andjwhere money
is easy. Sooner or later the
'•nigger" will be a .thing of the
pastas a help to the Southern farm
er and the people now' are.anxious
to get emigrants from the foreign
countries to replace them. A
negro is good to shine shoes and
wait on tables and .run errands
around towns, He is like a pig
eon, loves a congregation of white
houses and the "toot" of a railroad
train.
