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.

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

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
