THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN 2 THE CAPE FEAR. A Trip Down the Historic Old River From Elizabethtown to Wilmington. Written for The Robewnian. Rev. Mr. Davidson's sermon in the court house in Elizabeth town Thanksgiving Day, brought vividly before us the day when the Pilgrim Fathers first returned thanks to the Ruler of the Uni verse, for "all His benefits to man." Following this, Mr. Bayard Clark talked finely on a subject dear to many of the list eners the future of the Cape Fear river, when as one of the important rivers of .the South, plyed by fine steamers, she would successfully compete with the railroads the stream free to all craft, versus the monopoly of the railways. The sea coast, I believe it is claimed, will be brought 100 miles inward, mak ing Fayetteville a seaport town. These talks were fresh in the memory of the writer when in the early days of December, af ter breakfasting at Mrs. Hall's well-spread table, she gave the last tug at the suit case lock, stepped into the postoffice, stand ing at the bridge, spanning the 'Tory Hole," where the van quished Tory, in the years gone by, yielded to the Whig, paused a moment in the "brick store," standing in proud pre-eminence since "the sixties" of Civil War, and passed down the winding road, by the Newton-Wilkinson brick yard, to the beautiful land ing, where the moment's stop shows ferry with its usual busy accompaniment of man and team to be transported, across, to the village nestling on brow of hill. The palace must be something of a ship yara too, for there in evi dence is a boat under construc tion. A tramway running from the fine Newton-McArthur lum ber plant to the water gives the final picturesque touch to the view. "Pappy," otherwise Belah, a noted character, comes up with his hearty laugh. Around the bend "The Lis bon," a steamer new in the up per waters of the river, but like ly to become an institution, cn account of the "day trips" to the "City by the Sea," heaves in sight, "All aboard," and Eliza bethtown passes from the vision. The day is crisp. Old Sol flings his warmest December rays lavishly. Seated at rear of ladies cabin, one keenly enjoys the vista, looking at receding points. The first glance is en trancing, for as the wheel re volves, throwing its spray, a tiny rainbow is evolved, showing the long day out, whenever the wheel is in proper angle with stmrays. "Sugar Loaf," the underground drainage of White Lake, makes one feel the land of prisms has been reached, for the long crescent radiates every gleam of the rainbow. The eye revels in the changing panorama. Perhaps some long stretch shows exquisite foilage, enough of au tamn's tinting remaining to give the needed touch of color to sombre pine and cypress. Some monarch of the forest tosses moss-draped limbs against a brilliant red or yellow, while clinging bamboo transform an otherwise skeleton with won drous beauty. Some turn changes the rivtr into lake, there being no suggestion of outlet beyond. At yonder landing lies a great pile of cotton bales ready for steamer; here teams and logs show rafting begun; there rises smoke, where a busy farmer turns some of his labor into sweetness sugar cane syrup; down some steep cut barrels of turpentine find their way to the boat's deck. Now some poor frightened ox is dragged and goaded over the broad cattle way, a victim later on in some market stall. Raft after raft of cross ties, saw logs, wood, pass in review, the crews ex changing cheery greetings. A busy tug whiffs by. The banks of the next landing, perhaps, rise scarce above the water's edge. Again, as at Walker's Bluff, the trees on the summit seen striving to reach the skies. For many, many miles, whether towering cliff, or low elevation, is seen a dark strata in unbroken line, called "Indian soap," "disitegrated scbale," etc As sunset tints merge into twilight, the shower of sparks look like fairyland. The lights along the shore, where the ship per patiently awaits the boat that is to carry his "porkers" to market, shine out more vividly. Before the era of "wooding" passes from the Cape Fear, one should see the craft glide elobe to the shore, fasten her "bow "lines" around tree, root or stake, throw out gang plank and with six or eight strong deck hands, SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS On tbc Sunday School Lesson by Rev.
