PRESS CONVENTION ECHOEJ
The nineteenth annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Press
Association held at Winston last
week is a thing of the past, but
will be pleasantly and long re
membered by those of our breth
ren who had the good fortune to
to be present. It was one of the
largest of conventions ever held
by the editors of the State and
considering the number of brainy
men present, the most successful
one. We are almost sure that
every one who could possibly at
tend was there, for all had a de
sire to be eye-witnesses to Win
ston's pluck, progressive!) ess, en
terprise and last but not least
Winston's hospitality. That the
brethren were rovallv entertained
while there, is an indisputable
fact. They w ent there, saw a good
thing and like the Queen of She
ba, are willing to tell it. From
every corner of this vast State,
for weeks to come Winston's
praises will be sung and heard,
for t he editors, whom, as charged
by J. C. lhixtou, Esq., of Win
ston, in his admirable and elo
quent address of welcome, are the
moulders of public opinion, have
come t o believe that Winston is
is the biggest town in the State.
There is not a city throughout
the State, or rather in the South,
that has made more rapid strides
in the past ten years than Win
ston. In 1881 the population of
Winston-Salem was 4,1 1)1 , to-day
it numbers nearly 1 ;"),()()() inhabi
tants. Would you believe it? Ten
years ago the taxable value of
property there was $900,000,
while to-day it reaches nearly six
million dollars. Its banking cap
ital in 'SI was 2r0,00() to-day
it is over half a million dollars.
Ten years ago there were only
eighteen tobacco factories, to
day they number fifty, composing
plug tobacco, rigar, and smoking
tobacco factories. In addition
to these extensive manufactories
t here are cotton and woolen fac
tories, hosiery and flouring mills,
iron and machine shops, foun
dries, agricultural works, fertili
zer, buggy, basket, box and can
dy factories, and several oth
er manufact uring establishments
too numerous tomention. I n all
therearelOO factories in actual
operation with five now in course
of construction. There are (,500
operatives employed in these fac
tories, who, during t he past twelve
months received 1,21)0,000 in
wages. Over one million of dol
lars are yearly paid to the r. S.
government for revenue stamps
on tobacco. An admirable man
aged telephone exchange, under
the supervision of our former
townsman, Mr. W. .1. Crews, has
been recenty established there
and already it numbers over 200
patrons. Its electric street rail
ways, electric lights and water
works are the pride of the town.
From the number of excellent
schools in Winston-Salem, wecan
judge that education must be at
home there. The time-honored
Salem Female Academy, estab
lished in 1802, is undoubtedly
the largest college for young la
dies in the South, Last year's
record shows an enrollment of
'ir( students who came there
from all parts of the Fnion. The
buildings which are located on a
beaut iful spot, fronted by a spa
cious park, form a small village
in themselves ; they are all well
warmed and are lighted with
both gas and electricity. The
rooms are furnished with all the
comforts of a home, the dormi
tories are under the supervision
of teachers, but each pupil has a
private curtained alcove. Rev.
J. II. Clewell, its principal, is an
educator of no little renown, and
him the editors will always pleas
antly remember for the grand
banquet given them Wednesday
night. The Davis School, the
largest military school in the
State, has been located there.
Last year's enrollment shows
27o students. Its bindings are
all new and commodious. The
city also enjoys free graded
schools, for white and colored,
with an attendance of 1,400
pupils.
A carriage drive which was
given the editors Wednesday
evening showed us w hat 1ms been
done there during the past twelve
months. We have it from relia
ble authority that 11 miles of
new streets were graded on which
140,000 were spent for improve
ments. Its residences are a mod
el of architecture and in that re
spect it is a head of any city in
the State. A fifty thousand dol
lar residence is an ordinary thing
there. The Hotel Zinzendorf, lo
cated in the "West Hud," w ill be
completed by December 1st, at a
cost of 100,000, not including
turniture. it is a magmnceni
structure, and is most beautifully
located. The whole city is alive
with masons, carpenters and
street workers, and even at this
season Winston looks lively.
There is no more progressive city
of its population anywhere than
Winston, nor is there anywhere
that we know of a population
more thoroughly in accord on all
matters involving the interest of
the community, or the prosperity
of the place. They believe in
Winston-Salem, and that is the
main secret of their success.
We spent two days in her midst
and we have only the most pleas
ant recollections of Winston
Salem and her charming and cul
tured people. Any one who fails
to enjoy himself with them must
be built the wrong way, or has
no appreciation of whole-souled
hospitality. To note the Twin
City's push and enterprise and
failing to notice her excellent pa
pers w ould be doing great injus
tice to that hustling city, as a
town is generally judged by the
local press. The Daily Sentinel,
Tnion Republican, Southern To
bacco .Journal and the People's
Press have done much to the ad
vancement of Winston-Salem,
and we a re glad to know that her
citizens are appreciative of the
fact. More anon.

all who have seen me bear testimony. I
cannot say too much in its praise."
