Thomas Michacl Holt was born July 15, 1831, in that part of Orange county, North Corolina, which was erected into the -new county of Alamance in 1848. His birth-place, by the way, was on the immor tal field of Alamance where the Regulators shed the first blood in behalf of American ; liberty.' Michael Holt, his grandfather, : was a colleague of James Mebane in the Kdrth Carolina Legislature, in which body he early took strong and advanced ground m favor of internal' improvements; and even at thaV early day, advocated what is known -as the North Carolina System, viz. : a railroad from the Tennessee line toMore- hcad City. 1 ouhg Holt? received his pnmary edu- tion ' partly' at 1 home under a private teacher and partly at the Caldwell Insti tute, then located at' Hillsborough, under Rev..

In 1862, and for some years pieviousy. he was a member of the secial court Under the old county court system, and acted as chairmaaf the Alamance Couaty Finance Committee. He was elected a County-Co misnomer of his native county la 187 i folding the place four years.. In IS?& he was chosen, to the State'Senate a a Demo crat, serving one term of two years. - He took an active part in compromising .the "State'a debt, and especially that part of it whicbuwaa a lien on the "State a stock, in the tJforth Carolina Railroad Company,' going on North to see the bond-holders in person for this purpose.

The success and valuo , of thia . great work and incidental dredging vare estab lished by tho results already accomplished. The coast survey of 1851, gave eight and severi feet at te Rip and eight feet at New Inlet. Now vessels drawing eighteen feet can cross the bar at the mouth of the riyet and come to anchorage eighteen miles above on ordinary tides, twenty feet 0H iM , From this point, twelve miles to . Wilmingtoa. there is 15 feet water on any ordinary tides, which will be : increased to eighteen or twenty feet during the present year. Ships of greater draught than fifteen-ot sixteen feet now lighter portions of cargo at little expense or detention.

'' The General Government has expended altogether $1,865, 099 on the lower Cape Fear and Bar ; and $71 000 on the upper Cape Fear to Fayetteville, and on Long Creek to Littragton.

Many other articles are exported not necessary to enumerate. Lumber has ag gregated fifty million feet, nearly, about one third going abroad. - Shingles seven to eight million, one half abroad. 1 Deep water facilities and extended inT terior railway connections will un doubtedly 'place Wilmington in the front rank of &suth Atlantic ports, both in respect to foreign and domestic trade. Her improvement and growth increases the valuer of the CAPE PEAK AND YADKIN VALLEY RAILWAY and 'augments its success. Every dollar, therefore, expended in developing deep draught to'the sea is an indirect contribu tion to the value and success of the Road. ' A 'fleet of eight or ten river steamers and a squadron of tug boats plv up and down the Cape Fear and its tributaries, concentrating at Wilmington, and it is a notable evidence of the efficiency and value of the River and Harbor Improve ment work in North Carolina during the past few years that these steamers increase their burden to a remarkable degree, find a steady growth in their carrying trade, and thrive better under conditions of multiplied competition. The management of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway anticipate no diminution, but an increase' of larger and better steamers on the upper Cape Fear, at the same time it is apparent that the parallel line of Kail- road from Favetteville to Wilmington will -nfl w these m,,ltmlie,l transportation facilities. The construction or completion by the General Government of the great INLAND SYSTEM OF NAVIGATION will lead the bulk of the coasting trade from the Gulf to the Northern Lakes inside through or near by Wilmington, affording the coastwise traffic of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railwaya cheaper, easier and safer channel North and South than by the sea. The Wilmington and New York Steam ship Line has been in steady operation since the war, and the Baltimore and Wilmington line, after a brief suspension, has been resumed. These; natural cheap water transportation allies will give the Cape Fear and Yadkin Road control of the interior , traffic of a wide territory through the 'Northwestern,' Middle and Coast counties to the port oi Wilmington. This is a port terminal for the Wilming ton and Weldon, the Wilmington, Columbia .and Augusta, and the Carolina Central (Charlotte) Railway. While they main tain close alliance with connecting roads leading to Virginia potts, it is still true that they contribute to Wilmington a large bulk of her trade. Wilmington contains a population of more than twenty thousand souls and has the free postal delivery system. The pro portionate increase of population was greater from 1870 to 1880 than that of j ANT SOUTHERN SEAPORT, being more than Norfolk and Portsmouth, or Charleston and Savannah, combined. The city rates high for healthfulness, the annual death rate being about seventeen to the thousand, in which respect it com pares favorably with the mast favored town of its size on the Atlantic coast. It is a fresh water port, the great value and importance of -which the owners and masters of vessels appreciate. There arc the usual public buildings and institutions common to a seaport or commercial city ; IT United States Signal Station of first class, there being another at the entrance from the sea, Smithville; Q. Hospital, 37 churches and 28 j 1 , ' na nrivate schools. &c &c ; PuoUc arm Pnvat acnoou, c, e. manufacturing and industrial ; establishments are. numerous. Two marine railways .and shin yards; one dry dock; seven lumber and planing mills, cutting 1 larmiii: mr T(ir;irrn i- rn ini' main 111 1 and .9 turpentine distilleries; two spirits turpentine and tar canning houses ; three cotton compresses ; one gypsum" mill ; one guano elevator; three nee and four .grain and flour mills ; gas and . water-works ; three machine shops and foundries; four peanut cleaners and millers ; one tobacco and twd cigar factories; eight newspapers and four job printing offices ; four carriage factories -v three ice houses; two fish and oyster packing houses, together with numerous other industries. The' Wilmington Cotton Mifls of 175 looms and 7,000 spindles manufacture 6,000 yards of print cloths per day. The Navas8a Guano Works have a Capacity for making 15,1)00 tons of stand ard fertilizer a year, selling about twelve thousand tons annually at an average of $30; operating expenses $6,000 per month; with two large sulphurine air-chambers 100 by 140 feet, have capacity for twenty flve tons acid ner dav from sultvhnr im ported from Bichy. The Cape Fear and Yadkin '"Valley will open np to them pyrites for ' acid, and the coal for their fuer. The large product of these works 79 disrribtited among the agricultural peo ple of the fttterior, thousands of tons going up the' route of this railway. The Acme manuiacturing company has been established1 for the manufacture of fertilizers and for converting vegetable and woody plants, pine straw &c, into fibres for upholstering and other purposes ; for extracting various oils, iiteradiag the manufacture of cotton seed oil and cake. Marls and phosphate beds lie contiguous to these works. " - The shops of the Wilmington and Wetdon" Railroad are the most complete and extensive in the Southern States. They manufacture their freight and pas senger ears (turning out some years as many 'as 'two hundred"), most of; their machinery &c. These manufacturing establishments all operate by steam, and will draw their supplies of fuel from the coal fields along the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway.

All of us who have been to college or boarding school remember with'what eager expect ancy we greeted the arrival of each train, bringing with it the new faces of the Fresh men. It is a feeling similar to this that prompts the. average Winstonian to exam ine carefully, the "bus" full of new-comers, and t6 scan closely the hotel registers after the arrival of every train, in order to learn the names of the new arrivalsand -if possible ascertain "what department of trade each one proposes to embark in. We are a city of carpet-baggers, the majority of qur population having come from a dis tance, and it is possibly more cosmopolitan in its character thanthe population of any other town or city in'Korth Carolina., We have natives of every State, and nearly every' Territory, in bur midst. There are Canadians, Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irish men, Germans, Jews, Norwegians, French men, Dutchmen. Italians. Indians, ne- groean6?SAen7rM Chfnse lalihdry lS established, we can add Jo the list of na tionalities represented, the mir-tailed celes- tial, and boast, at the same time, of having j the only Chinese laundry in North Caro Una." To the visitor and new-comer, Winston is an interesting place. There is not . a single town in the State that ran boast of the number of genuine attractions that our people have to show to , sojourners here, and it Is very likely this is one of the reasons why it has become the convention city of North Carolina, inasmuch as nearly every State organization has held one or more annual reunions here, includ ing the press, the various religious denom inations, the Masons, the .Odd-Fellows, the doctors and so on, and not one of I these can complain of the whole-souled hospitality that was meted out in a manner : at once suggestive of wealth and culture, j But I was saying .something about the j host of. attractions tbjRtvrin city, presents, j and the various things that interest a pros- j pectOT, and give him a favorable impression I of the push, enterprise and immense business interests of the place. He is at once struck with the bustle and activity of our crowded streets; the city-like appearance of the trucks, delivery wagons, and vehicles geh erallv. He observes that nearly everv place pf business is supplied with such conveniences as elevators, a cooious sunnlv t of water from an excellent water-works", j ever enjoyed. New firms are rapidly oper and that some houses use type-writers in ing up, new people coming in, and w ifhin their offices, while one boasts of a steno- ! graphic clerk, He will observe fnrther that much taste is manifested in the ar rangement and 'furnishing of counting rooms and offices, and that employees gen erally are well dressed and present an ap- Karance apace with the times. He will forcibly impressed by the existence of telephone lines over the place, electric lights in the Winston Cotton Mills, and gas light in Salem. A thousand and one other things will demonstrate to him that we arereally a city in miniature, and that before the next census our population will have passed its fifteenth thousand. Thirteen years ago the -spot now occupied by Winston was : almost a dense forest, with a house or two scattered at lengthy intervals. No place in North Carolina, and few in tha entire Southern country, has risen up so rapidly, so substantially, as Winston. Its situation for a large inland city is splendid, being on a gentle ridge in a beautiful valley, with the mountains in the distance, The country around is famed for its health-giving mineral waters, its salubrious climate, its fertile soil, es pecially adapted to the production of a bright tobacco, that for delicacy of flavor, toughness of chew and brilliancy of color, is unattainable elsewhere, and is sought by buyers from all over the world. The first warehouse , for the sale of to bacco was built in 1870. The manufac ture of tobacco was begun about the same time, and so; rapidly has the place been built up, that instead of ! one factory, we now have nearly thirty plug factories, several ef . smoking, and the tobacco busi siness has been so greatly augmented that four large, warehouses now keep busy iu the tobacco season,, and upwards of fifty leaf dealers and brojeers gain a livelihood through the, narcotic, yflniqcfipi the weed. Over fifteen riiulion pounds of leaf were void here in 1883, over , half of which will be manufactured, here during the coming factory , season while -the. 1 supply is in creased by . thousands of pounds sent hither from Durham, Henderson, Oxford, Milton, DaaviUa-and AaheviUe, to receive the advantage ct Winston's proverbial high prices.! , Large quantities of our leaf are sent throughout the United States, and our manufactured goods probe to the uttermost parts of the earth. During one day, two weeks-ago there were 826 wagons in town at , one time- More than fifty counties, in this State and Virginia, supply our market with tobacco, and it has been frequently .the case that planters living over on the other side of Lynchburg have hauled .their leaf .to. Winston, because we havc.the, fairly won- reputation of paying the most astonishingly ,'rfancy prices.". .-? The season Jjow, opening will witness the, empioyment jn, .out factories pf fully four thousand operatives, who receive on an average of nine, dollars per week. Thus a sum 6 nearly forty thousand dollars is placed into general cirpulation every Sat urday night, .which is productive of a most healthy, state of affairs, and results in a mote strict adherence to the cash system While tobacco ia naturally the basis of our wealth and prosperity; Our diversified manu-facturrng has helped materially to btih'g the twin city 'tip to' Its present mag nitude, '' The woollen mills operate nine hundred spindles, and manufacture every year nearly one hundred thotrsahd 'pounds of wool tntri rolls, yarns,' cloth, -eicv' The Arista Cott6n Mills operate 6,480 spindles, and work up into sheeting' etc.,' over twenty-three thousand pounds of cotton pe day.'' The twb aoove enterprises are owned by the Messrs. Fries,' who also op erate the largest tannery inNorth Carolina. TherA are four' flouring mills j that, owned by tht gentlemen -mentioned, is the only eneii the State-ibefag" fully equipped with 1 we patent, process- flotrr-rollerBj and other improved machinery.' ' ' i ' , The Witn Cigar Factory, Messrs. V. Ov Tonipson-dt Co, "proprietors, is a rp cently established enterprise that has iff stantly vaalted into a prosperoup nnsiness. They op-fate,tailarge1-Bumbei;:jDffihaBda, make equally as-, cigam . as any factory out of thet 8ta 4t aywhen8i ini . vThey have madA Bi moat remarkable -run on an excellent five-center, bearing the name, of "The Western Sentinel.'' ,,. .... . ; - , , The WihstoB Candy Manufactory is the third enterprise of the kind in our midst in noint of nWber. but the first in point nf macmirnda. and surpasses any other 1884. factory in'?forth Carolina in the delightful quality of its goods. It manufactures the very finest French and American confeci tions, and its candies are equally as-.good as those of Hyler, the famous ,New. Yprk; confectioner, in whose establishment Mrl' Potter, the head of the mantrfacturing de-' partment of the ' factory here,- learned hisr trade They received an order. Jaat week, from a Winston firm for two tonsipf .candy., The Winston Agricultural fork's prom ises to become' one of our leading indus trial enterprises. It manufactures, among other things, a wheat and grain separator, that is attracting considerable attention both in this State and in the South. The Tise Well Fixture Company manu facture a well fixture that has already been quite extensively introduced throughout this and other States. Besides these we have the shuttle block factory; 'five extensive tobacco Wagon works; a carriage factory; two planing mills; a pottery and pipe manufactory;' several tobacco box factories ; a large cpt-. ton gin; a brick machine with a "capacity of fifty brick per minute; four; tobacco flue factories; a house that bottles brandy peaches; another that puts Up writing inks, and the largest merchant tailoring, estab lishment in North Carolina, that ships' carefully made garments to every' portion of the State, and beyond, having recently' filled an order for a Tar-heel in Mexico. Besides all these, there are 1 many . other smaller industries too numerous to mention. The near future1 is ' just teeming with contemplated manufacturing enterprises! We are to have a plaid mill ; the company has been organized and the site purchased ; a knit goods millt a furniture factory, a paper mill, a woven wire mattress manu factory, and several other industrial coW-' j cerns, that will increase our population of ', operatives and attract tliousand of add. : tional wealth to the place, In the summer I the fruit packing business ' is extensively ' carried on, and our dried fnrft industry is i of such large proportions that we shipped j away last year over two million pounds -of ' evaporated fruit. , , . i Winston has two banks, five newspapers, ; and an army of drummers solicit orders i for our manufactured goods. We have j many men, although yet young, who. are; j worth r'nmfnrt-fllMp fortunes; Onp pjin wfllk i . - - -j .- - - . . a couple of blocks here and meet more. more, j really rich people than he would in liaJ- j other place in Tarheelia. r..;-. ! We have scores of beautiful residences, I imposing blocks of stone buildings, Lth ! plate glass, and withal, city-like frpnts, and the third finest opera house in' the State. Although there are now- being erected numerous buildings, the coming sprintr bids fair to witness an even .more prodisrious building boom than we have the last thirty days some twenty odd fain- ilies have moved into town. , It would be an unpardonable neglect iu, Trr'f-inrr of tlie twin eitv to omit P(1ips1- tional institutions. Salem" Academy, which j has Ix'en so long patronized by thc-Brst families of every Southern State, has ap propriately beeii called "the Vassar of tlie South." Our new graded school is the pride of every Winstonian, and in cost of buildings and efliciency of its teachers, is unsurpassed in the State. . It is a magnifi cent building, and 'will cost, HielhSiHy the grounds, fully twenty thousand dollars. Professors Tomlinson and Mclver are the superintendents. When the school is in session, it is thought, over six hundred children will attend. In the words of the Queen of Shcba, "the half has not yet been told." 1 have rirochettfd. so to speak, over the entire subject and dwelt on the points that would be most apt to interest and impress, but I have left untold many things of almost eoual interest to some, that would make nothing short of a visit necessary' to learn more about. The outlook for Win ston is indeed roseate, and there can be no possible doubt as to her future she is to become the largest city in Western Caro- lina. if not in the entire State. To every man in North Carolina or any-1 where else, who desires to locate in A push ing, wide-awake city, where the people take him by the hand and whisper words of encouragement into his ear; where living is cheap and wages arc good; where there is money and health ana 1 happiness' and many of the best things of, earth, I commend him to Winston.
