THE WEEKIiY CraZENf THURSDAY AUGUST27; 189L SOME NOTES OF TRAVEL. IM A WONBEHFVUT FVL VALLEY. BEA'TI. Til Press) Hectlns IntcrcAtlns Rallnoad History -A DellarhMtal Extcaraloit An Old Canal ProJ cct flrat Settlement of Mora vians in the State. I have recently returned from attend ance upon the annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association at Winston, full of the impression of pleas, ant experiences nnH instructive observa tions. As I attended more in the ca parity of a guest of the association; and as, moreover, I was unavoidably de tained from participation in the pro ceedings ot the first (lav, and from the elegant entertainment of the night of that day at the Salem Fermile college, I leave it to my brethren of the press to illuslrate that pe.iodin their most ornate and enthusiastic words; for thev were all wrought to the highest pitch of en' thusiastic delight. Nor can I with justice to the citizens of Winston and Salem, undertake, in the space vou kindly allot to me, to speak of their cordiul welcome, their boundless hospitalities, their ele gant entertainment, their thoughtful kindness; or, of lliiir wonderful prog ress, their substantial municipal im provements, their finely paved streets, their convenient and well managed sys tem of electric street railway, their ex panding industries, their nipidlv increas ing manufactures, their s-tcarlilv growing business, and the substantial growth of both the cities, now practically so blend ed bs to be one in apeanince as they are one in interest and destiny. These things I shall aiso leave to the consider ation of the editors present who are as full of the subject as 1 am, with ampler liberties to express their admiration and their impressions j A Humble Hamcer On. I shall confine myself to things outside of Winston-Salem; yet things vitally in strumental in the striking development so apparent all around. These things are at once cause and effect, reciprocal action so inter-dependent in their motions as to be inseparable in their influence upon results. it is well known tnat Winston owes its business being to the construction of the Northwestern North Carolina rail road. It had previously existed a very humble hanger on upon the ontskirtsof the veneaable old town of Salem; and as the county seat of Forsyth county, had only that significance and nothing more. But the extension of that road was into the very heart of the tobacco region of long established repute, surry, stokes, Rockingnam, Forsyth, with lands lying along the Dun. the Yadkin and their nu merous tributaries, had, ever since their settlement, been famous for their produc tiveness aud particularly forthequuntity and excellence1 nf their tnh.irrn Hut thi-ir markets were distant. The completion of the road to Winston brought a market to their doors, and thev resorted to it without del;; v. Thev profited hv it and Winston grew and prospered. It became strong enough to project other lines, so that it might reach other sources of sup ply, and also secure to itself the benefits of competition. A Dellarbtral Excnrslon, It may be said injustice to the original road, that its managers did not propose to restrain Winston in its purpose to reach out for more business. On the contrary, the management of the R. & D. road has built that splendid line to Wilkesboro, and another to Mocksville, with view to still farther extension. What may be called the rival road is the Roanoke and Southern, from Roanoke, Va., to Winston, a north and south line, or nearly so, of 121 miles in length, of which about 70 miles out- Irom Winston is in use, and the whole line will be fin ished by the first of November.. On that the traffic is already so great as to pay an excess ot $5,000 per month over ex penses. On this road the association was given a delightful excursion as Mayo's river on the north side of the Dan, a dis tance of 35 miles, the road passing over a fertile country, gently rolling, until the waters ol Town Fork, a tributary ol the Dan were reached, and then it enters the Dan river coal basin, an old sea bed, ab solutely level, exceedingly rich. Down this creek for two or three miles, then crossing the Den and down the valley of that stream through continuous fields of corn until the mouth of Mayo's river was readied, and the surface changed from dead level to picturesquilly hillv, semi mountainous, and the channel of the river was broken by a long succession of rapids, constituting "Mayo's falls," and making the inducement to their purchase by a Winston improvement company with view to the profitable application of its great water power. A 'Wonderfully Rich Valley. This excursion made valuable addition to our knowledge of the resources of North Carolina developed under the in fluences of railroad construction, every new road becoming a key to the unlock ing of rnrne, perhaps known, but hither to unattainable, treasure. ; ' . This idea ha bad splendid illustration t: in the construction by the Richmond and , and Danville system of the line from Win ston to Wikesboro, a distance of seventv five miles, and opening to intercourse the wonderfully rich and surpassingly beau- . tlflll Yadkin oll.. .. St,!;.,,. Tf t-Ulm valley twenty-four miles northwest of .Winston, and then folio wing it up corf' tinuously for fifty-six miles, the dominant feeling was that of . amazement, mixed j with indignation that in an age of prog- rest like this so much that was valuable , in fertility, in variety of production, in inducements to enterprise, apart from its : beauty bad remained unknown except as h forced knowledge, upon other parts of the state by the use of primitive roads r aud primitive modes of transportation. It is a reflection upon the sagacity of projectors that access to this great -valley - had been postponed to this late date. A long time ago, as far back as 1820, when railroads were unknown, and canals .thought to be the only available thor oughfares leading to development, a Ca nal was begun around Bean shoals to connect the, more placid waters of the . Yutlkiu above and below that obstruc tion. The line of the railroad now fol lows the bed of that forgotten and in (onsvquential work.. But I anticipate somewhat. ' Old. Old Town. The train loaded with press represent atives and many gentlemen of Winston, the hosts of the occasion, shot out on its trip of 75 miles at 8:30 Friday morning. It did not take me long to learn that I was on one oi the best railroad tracks I ever traveled on. It was laid with heavy steel rail, and through the whole length there was not a jar or a jostle t- be felt. There was a solidity and smoothness altogether unexpected in tracks not yet a vearold, and the easv movement "and rapid speed of the train was in harmony with the charming environments. About ten miles from Winston, we passed Old Town, suggestive of past and peculiar history. Here was the first set tlement of the Moravians in their search after seclusion in the depths of the forest wilderness. Here Count Zinzerdorf, in the year 1753, pitched his tents far away from any other colony of the whites; and here, in that vear, was built the first church, in which Christian worship was neia in upper Nortn Carolina. The church, almost the only original relic ot early days yet remaining, stands much as it appeared one hnudred and thirty eight years ago. a lone, low buildine with massive walls of stone, surmounted by a belfrv in the centre of the roof. The building is divided into two parts, one for worship, and the other end for tin use of the pastor and his family, and it has been so divided and occupied since its earliest dav. In the Yadkin Valley. Little else is to be seen or learned as the train flew by; and at the distance ol twentv-four miles, after passing through a rich agricultural country, through fields of corn, tobacco, orchards and bod ies of well timbered forest, the train emerged at a station known as Donnaha into the valley of the Yadkin. And thence onward for fifty-one miles there was one continuous picture of natural beauty. The road lay close along side of the wooded foothills with the broad val ley on the other, often close to the river margin. Beyond lay the hills, mostly covered with forest, occasionally dotted with up-land farms and well built bouses. evidences of prosperity and cultivated tastes. This valley in extent, continuity. fertility surpassed all 1 bad hitherto seen in North Curolina. For fifty miles it was almost a continuous corn till , weighted with luxuriant crops, estimated to yie d from 50 to 75 bushels to the acre. Sometimes there were long stretches of tobacco; and sometimes the luxuriant weeds bore testimony to previous heavy crops of wheat. The whole valley is cu tivated, not a square foot unused; the valley is au immense grainary, and its value held at from $100 to $125 per acre. It is a very garden spot of fertility as well as a paradise of beauty, a beauty of a gentle kind; for even when coming in view of the long line of the Brushy moun tains, which stretch for twenty-rive miles or more along the southwestern horiozn ,t lien is a grace of form and smoothness ol outline, there is no antagonism be tweea the tenderness of the valley and the majesty of the mountains, the one is the complement of the other and they harmonize to form the perfect picture of scenic beauty. A oecaved Village. The road is so new, that time enough si not yet given for the growth of towns and villages yet to come. One very old town is passed. Before Surry county was divided to give name and place for Yadkin county on the south side of the river, Rockford, on the north bank of the river, was the county seat. With the re moval of the court house to Dobson, Rockford has fallen into decay. The old court bouse is still to be seen up on the hill, peeping from among the trees. Al present, its fortunes arc at a low ebb; but probably it will revive from the iu-. fluencc ot the railroad, and its advanta geous surroundings. As the river is ascended, the diminution of its width and volume becomes very no ticeable. In truth, it owes its waters largely to the waters poured down to it from the Blue Ridge in the north through the county of Surry. There are no less than five considerable rivers rising in and passing through this county. Tbey are the Little Yadkin, the Ararat, Fisherta river, Roaring river and Elkin river, all bold streams, with great water power, aud lor some distance up from their mouths, bordered with tine productive valleys. Elkin is not a new town, but it al ready feels the good influences of the rail road. It is at the mouth of Elkin river, and has long been noted for its excellent woolen factory. The blankets are scarcely inferior to the famous California "comforters, while its cassitners are as smooth in finish as those of any north ern loom. It has besides cotton mills. flouring mills, planing mills, including fourteen saw mills; is surrounded by abundant iron deposits, and a magnifi cent, agricultural country, including a most productive tobacco region. It is a pretty place, nestled up on the hitch grounds back from the river among the trees, and wins upon the -eye with its combination ot natural beautr - and boundless human thrift and energy. I was told that the population is now about 500. m ; The Awakening aT.plrlt. . Butit will not long - remain at that figure. The railroad is the touchstone to awake it into new life. Its future is al ready eeen from abroad. Already ; land improvement companies have taken hold, laid out new streets in all directions, and have' not Only laid them Out but made them, opening, grading,' levelling witn an industry and foresight that tore tends their speedy occupations. . - vv . TLe train stopped here but a moment as it went up. But on its return the whole population was ' out to greet us. and a halt of fifteen or twentv minutes was made to mingle with the eager and pleasant throng of ladies, children and men. All bad a pleasant word and a smil ing welcome to their sudden guests. Lads went through the crowd with open baskets of luscious peaches pressing them upon the free use of a'i who would take them. In the station house; copious liba tions of fresh sparkling cider were poured out; and as we returned towards the train two pretty little girls were in wait ing with great trays of beautiful bout tonkren of fragrant flowers, - each tied with a ribbon on which was printed "Welcome to Elkin." It was a pretty aud a touching little Incident which gave to Elkin an endearing charm not soon to bcaffaced. - ,. . Frofwae HoapltalRv. In a run of about three hours from Winston the train reached North Wilkes b jro, the present terminus of the road. It is just opposite Wilkesboro, the county seat, on the north side of the river. It is the creation of a land improvement com pany, having its central and chief inter est in Winston, and this company has gone to work with prodigious energy to build a town. A good hotel, the Gordon, h is been built, several stores are under c instruction, some new buildings have been built, streets opened, some of them at considerable cost, a new iron bridge across the river is to be built, and every thing gives promise ot a thriving town, entirely new. We were entertained at the hotel with profuse hospitality. A crowd of perhaps three hundred dined at tables planned for not more than forty plates; and we bear willing testimony to the judgment, the patience and the satisfaction with which I the unusual pressure was so successfully handled. On a commanding hill in the rear of the hotel is the old Finlev resi dence, somewhat time shaken, but still attractive, with its commanding posi tion. The scenery is very beautiful, a modified but very suggestive resemblance to the view westwa.d from Battery I'arl. The house has its interest from the fact that it wes once the property and residence of the grandfather of the present Senator Gordon, of Georgia. Higher ui the river, and on a similar height, Gen. Jns. B. Gordon, i he confederate cavalry office, was born and lived. He fell in battle, and in the afternoon I visited his monument in the Fpiscopal church yard in Wilkesboro. A Mew Hotel. After dinner numerous vehicles were in waiting to take us to the many points of view on the Wilkesboro side of the river. 1 fell, fortunately, into the hands of Mr. T. J. Ferguson, a prominent man of Wilkesboro, who did us the honor to be the driver of his own fine carriage and spirited team. The road from the new to the old tovs n traverses the beantiful valley I had been skirting the whole morning, and tnen crosses the Yadkin, here reduced to the width of about 100 feet on, an iron bridge, the most graceful in structure I have seen, and which cost thecounty $6,- 500, a high price for a single span, but not costly in consideration of the beauty and perfc-lion of the work. A new and good road led up into the town, and Mr. rerguson drove us to the new hotel, not yet quite finished nor definitely named. We were received by Mr. I. A. Cooper, brother of Messrs. A. D. and C. S. Cooper, of Ashevllle, and tendered the hospitalities of the house, no unmeaning tender, as some qf our party wiil pleasant ly testify. Mr. Cooper showed us over the house, a large, handsome, well finished hotel, and elegantly furnished. Jt is pro vided with electric bells and other mod ern conveniences, and will be a delight ful resting place for the many visitors who will now find their way up the lieautiful, long overlooked Yadkin Val ley. The Old and tbe Mew. Wilkesboro is ariyold place, ante da ting the revolutionary war. . It is a strong combination of the old and tbe uew, antiquated dilapidated houses standing side by side with handsome new brick stores and elegant dwellings of the most recent type. The popula tion is not more than 500, but will cer tainly rapidly increase. It is surrounded by a wonderfully fertile country, and the adjacent mountains abound with metal lic ores. Tbe scenery is very beautiful. Tbe Blue Ridge lies off in the distance to wards the north and northwest, the Brushy mountains stretch themselves along the southern horizon, while inter mediately there is a lovely combination of field and lorest, of hill and valley, of softness and boldness, a landscape alto getber of fascinating beauty. Ine xadkin valley is at length made accessible, its agricultural wealth made attainable, its wonderful resources opened to us, and its remarkable scenic beauties opened out to the eye. Long unknown in general to North Carolina, it will now, with tbe possession of a suberb railroad, not onlv invite the ear-, nest consideration of the man ol busi ness, but of all the ardent searchers after the charms of scenery. J. D. C. THE PENSIONERS). T bey are Republicans to Almost tbe Lost Han. An orator on the battlefield of Getty burg forgot himself so far as to sav: "Here stood the gallant boys in blue, and over there were the democrats." The way in which the democratic papers are abusing the G. A. R. encampment leads one to believe that the orator erred in taste rather than in fact. Detroit (Mich.,) Tribune. . From the ChUago He aid. Tbe fact that a reasonably decent re publican sheet should be driven to such extremes to fill out its editorial page shows how hard up the g. o. p. is for ar gument. The truth is that the recent re union in Detroit was reported as fully and in as complimentary a spirit by the democratic as by the republican press. The democratic press of Detroit in par ticular gave by far the most readable and entertaining accountsof theencampment. As for the remark of the blatherskite ora tor quoted : b the Tribune, it has long been conceded that many of the leading generals of tbe union army were demo crats and that a big share of tbe fighting and dying; was done by democratic sol diers. The large number of men who never smelled smoke and who are In the G. A. R. for pensions are all republicans without a single; eception. ; " iV - i '-.' IhVh T, ';::':;;:yiy?
