Charles Haigh. FAYETTEVILLE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR3 AGO, Difficult of Access by Rail From the Outer World The Fleeting Show at Sanford The U. 8. Arsenal Ruins of-the Obwrvsr Offlcs The Beauty of 8prlng-Tlm In Fsyettevllle Is a Relief Our Wonderful ' Recovery FROM Those Awful Times. Correspondence of the Observer. " Mr. Editor: The very interesting address of MaJ. E. J. Hale before the Civic Association on Fayetteville's past history, has for; a time turned our thoughts retrospectively, :, It la profit able even Jn these strenuouf and more active times, when all our thoughts and energies are and should be turned to our present and future, welfare, to recur to the days that are gone by in a city which Is so rich in history, and which at one time was the commercial and social centre of North Carolina. In 'this way,? while hodllng our faces steadily to the front, we may be en couraged by past worthy examples, and warned not to repeat any past mis takes in our future. V- v ; ; ' -r- 'J I . came across recently an old copy of the New York Times which, contain ed a letter dated Just 25 years. ago from FayettevlUe, : N. C I am' tempted to give a few extracts front It to amuse your readers and that they may bet ter appreciate the wonderful changes and improvements that have come 6 us within the past few years. .This cor respondent , describes the delays and vexatious he experienced in reaching FayettevlUe at that time. Think of It now t-; with, 'our partial Florida speo lala, our double dally Pullman service from New York, -and the twenty odd mall and passenger strains that arrive- and depart from our city each day; , . t . - Says this correspondent:; "No one who has business in FayettevlUe, N, C, should ever be in a hurry to get there or. In haste to get away, for if any body has gone there in thaf state of mind,' or should go there expecting to arrive and get away -speedily, he will be disappointed.; A ' man in a great hurry there would be sadly out of place in one of the serenest villages on the foot stool. '; To get to it from the North " one- must travel on- the Coast- Line toy- way of Richmond and Petersburg to - Weldon, arid - then change cars, proceeding by, the;. Ral eigh and Qaston . Railroad., In; a very leisurely manner to Raleigh. There another" Change must be made to thai Raleigh and . Augusta Air Line in or der, to .reach; Sanford.- At Sanford a halt must be made over night for the connecting railroads do not find it con venient :to arrange -their timetables for- the traveler.'; On the contrary, :t Is so.dlsaranged that .tlie F.ayetteville bound traveler gets to Sanford just after, the arrival, from FayettevlUe of the only train, each day from that place,' while he who wants to-get a- way from FayettevlUe reaches Sanford on his way North half a day before or. after the departure of the only train. A Merciful veil -of; darkness. conceals the "dreariness of Sanford from the eyes of 'the stranger' who .reaches it for the. first time. A, glimmer of light attracts him to the only hotel. Upon entering he finds the house to-be mean and untidy,, and the bed to which he will retire, in the fond hope of rest. after a rough and tedious jolting over the uneven railroad in dingy cars, will probably be supplied with a husk mat- tress, into, the stuffing of which a too liberal proportion of corn-cobs appear to have found their way. Daylight will reveal ceilings and walls -of un painted. boards,; a carpetless' and not Coo, clean floor, and primitive meagre- Lness 'of furnishing unrelieved by neat ness. If the traveler's appetite be not ruined by the V contemplation of his desoliite quarters, and lie rise In time, he may get breakfast'- To the sound of a Clanging bell he will be marshal ed into a bare diningroom in which are set 'several circular; tables. 'Each table Is made in two sections. . An out er rim, a foot or two In width, is set with- plates and their accompanlng knives and forks.' The inner section is' movable, and' when the traveler sits down at one -of the; tables, the movable section, as it is .whirled about by per sons' accustomed to. the contrivance, presents to him, on its edge, a pam orama of breakfast, .ar "merry - go round," . where the places jof hobby horses'Tmin riders -- are"" occupied by plates of bntter, bread,' pork, scraps of beef tried brown and. indigestlbly hard, eggs,. tr,led". chlckeni; fried hominy, shorteake, and other variously larded things in which the palate of the na tive Tar Heel delights.. ' , ; , As a linen' cloth is impracticable, on such a table,, the viands are spread on oil-cloth nailed down. Fortunate is the man who can so time his efforts so as to- pick as" he i prefers irom ' the un inviting spread, for It is much more than probable, that- th "novice who reaches for eggs will puf his hand in the butter,- or aiming for tried chicken will thrust his fork into the sugar bowl. The head' will swim with the recollec tion of this waltzing", breakfast table long after the only, east-bound train of the day has lazily pulled away from the rows of squalid shops ,; and bar roms that make up . the hamlet and goes most lelsurly puffing and thump ina' along towards f Fayetteville, A good runner might begin at his break fast and easily catch the train after he had; Been it start. , Going out of Sanford soon after 8, it clatters over an ill-ballasted track .through pine, for est full of withered trunks, past many trees tanned "for turpentine.', and many stacks of new4y cut pine kin ! lings, and if no untoward accident pre vents, arrives in Fayetteville, 42 miles away, In about three hours, reaching that, peaceful Village some time before noon." -This correspondent was not unmlnd' ful of the beauties of Fayetteville, al though his experience In getting here at that time had not;put him; in the besttof humors to enjoy them, : Says he: "To one who has ; time to look about Fayetteville "in the 'spring ol the year, when, aa-now, the peacn trees ara In bloom,' the birds singing In gardons and OKhards, the lubur num, splrea, and flowering almond be ginning to scattnr their blossoms on the ground, the Jouqulls, the hyacinths, and the narcissus brightening all tho borders and the trees putting on their garments of dullcato green, a few days could Jte pleasantly spent" , - This correspondent visited the site of. the splendid U. S. Arsenal which had been wantonly and ruthlessly de stroyed by Sherman; says the corres pondent; ". "He utterly destroyed it and at the same time demolished many other buildings. The ruins of the 'Ob server,', a newspaper, which had not carefully regulated its abuse of Gou. Sherman,, still stands on the corner of the principal, street,; Just as they were left a v black and moldy memento, Here and there one 'comes - across , a chimney standing In the midst of sim ilar riilns. I asked a negro what-these ruins were, he replied 'Sherman done it." Were you glad to se Sherman come, I asked an did black man. 'Yea, mar's, glad to see 'em come and glad ter to see um.

These, primitive appliances are never housed, for fear delay might be caused, in case of discovery ofjlre, in hunting for the keeper of the key."

The Observer Office stood on the corner, where Mr. Kindley's store is now, the property running back to Old Street The walls .Of the buildings were battered down,' and the contents set fire-to.'- This was by order, of Gen erel Sherman himself, a distinction ac corded to nor other newspaper In the South. - The torch was applied by Gen eral Slocum, who was entrusted with the execution of the order, and who, years after the war, sent an apology (!) by General Kingsbury to the "late Edward J. Hale for his part in the mat ter. While the work of destruction was going on, Sherman and- his staff watched it from a Veranda of the hotel opposite, hobnobbing over wine which they had taken from the cellars of Mr. Hale's house on Haymount (now owned by Mr. W. D. McNeill-. -.Mr. Walter Watson witnessed the destruc tion of this office, and, some years ago, presented to the Observer a part of the big power press found in the ruins. - This press, by the way, was the first power press ever brought to Nortn Carolina.

From Monday's Dally: . . - Exactly at five minutes before 12 o' clock Saturday night the electric cur rent .'from the plant of the Little River Power Company at Manchester, was sent through the transformers, in the substation, to the adjoining municipal electric light "plant, and by . the man ipulation of the switchboard) the steam generated electric power, gave way to the water- developed current, twelve miles away, the interval between this momentous change, during which the city was in darkness,': being only a fraction of a second. ; The new system worked splendidly and without a hitch, and the lights at once showed improver ment It is said when the new current la properly regulated, it will show a decided Improvement It is estimated that this new departure; will save the city at ' least two thousand " dollars, a year, with the present amount of busi ness and we' hope" that its promoters, Messrs.

Bell present A committee from the Chamber of Commerce, headed by Mr. H. R. Home, appeared before ther. Board, . and through Mr. Home, asked that the new; Clarendon bridge to be erected be provided with one or two sidewalk"), Mr. Home eloquently presented the matter, and at the conclusion of , his remarks, the Board agreed .to meet in the Superior Court room at 10 o'clock to-morrow to hear the matter further and make a decision. Mr. A ,8. Hall sprung a surprise on the Board by presenting a petition from; citizens around Godwin; asking that a steel bridge be built across the Cape' Fear at that place. No action, has yet been taken on this petition. The Board is still in session late this afternoon. ' , .,- ;'.-'.' .-: ' - :.-y;r-..

' " This morning at 10 o'clock ', the Board gave a hearing to a large dele gation of representative citizens from all parts of the county, asking that the contract" wlth the Owego Bildge Company for the construction of the Clarendon bridge' be so amended as to Include two footways.' Mr. H. R. Horne, representing, the Chamber of Commerce, Was chairman of the dele gation, and he was ably supported by a score or more of prominent citizens who all spoke in favor of the addition of 'the footways, ;;'...J,v-;r. ;;,;,;';: ., Just before adjourning for the. din ner recess at 1 o'clock this afternoor, the Board voted .unanimously to have two footways added to the bridge as contracted for. Mr. Mosely, the repre sentative of the Owego Company, was presentand was asked If he would re duce the amount of his original bid, Which Included two-footways, and was $39,600; or without footways, . $3,- 288. . C. -'::,,', -. ' . ' , At this point it was discovered that the bond which the Owego Company gave for the completion of the, bridge by July 1st carried no forfeiture with it, and was therefore worthless ii) that respect . . Mr. Mosely agreed to put a forfeiture clause in the bond, that his company; should forfeit $10 a. day for every day after September 1st that the bridge was not completed, if the County would' agree to pay a bonus of $10 for every day prior to that date, that the bridge was completed. " ..Mr. W. L, Holt, who was present, thought the forfeiture amount a redlcu lous, one,, and could not see why- the county should give a bonus. ' He said that as the price of steel , was now gradually falling, it might be to the Bridge Company's advantage to for feit $10 a day for 12 months or more. Mr. Charles G. Rose, County Attor ney, suggested a forfeiture of $25 a day for every day after August 1st of non-completion, and a bonus of $25 a day lor each, day of completion be fore that date. Mr. Mosely said he would accept this. v,c ' Thus the. matter stood when the Board adjourned for the dinner recess. . .. LATER , , Z,; At four o'clock, an agreement, was reached between the Owego Company and the Board of County Commission ers as follows: The bridge to be built with two sidewalks, for $39,000; by August 1st, with a forfeiture by the Company of $25 a day for each day after that that the bridge is not com pleted; or a bonus by the county to the Owego Co. of $25 'a day, for its com pletion before.

' These show that when Americans took possession there was required for the construction of the canal as at present planned, a to tal excavation of 174,666,595 .cubic yards. Of this amount, there' had been excavated at. the end of January last, 62,751,924 cubic yards, or a little more than one-third, leaving H.1,904,671 cu bic yards stia to be removed,-The es timate of total excavation made bv the minority members of. the Interna tional Board of Consulting Engineers, authors of the'bek caaal under con struction, was 103,795,000 cubic yards. The increase over, this estimate is due in part 'to. changes' in details f the plan which call tor a larger excava tion. ' i ' ' -' There will also be required undor the present plane 29,387,000 cubic yards of filling for locks and dams, which is about 7,000,000 cubic yards less than the amount estimated toy the minority members.;. There will also be required 6,015,400 cublo' yards" of concrete," an excess of 2,000,000 cubic yards -Over the estimate of the minority members.

Editor Observer; Being Intensely Interested in everything that menus "Progress" for Fayetteville, and beiug especially Interested In the develop ment of the "Little River Power" plant at Manchester, as It is the cul- mlnatlon of an idea urged by myself when Fayetteville first issued bonds for our Electric Light Plant I, in com pany with Mr. J. Sprunt Newton spent three or four hours there on yester day. " I certainly wished, Mr. Editor, that every other citizen of our town trad especially ' every crank maker and pessimist could also have been vti h me. ' To see the splendid manner in whi . h they have handled the power; the mas sive and well constructed machinery; the powerful water wheel and the ease with which it develops 500-horse pow er, driving the electric machinery wl'.h what appears to be, even less than 1-8 of the flow of the stream, is in deed a revelation. In fact, the wat-?r used by the wheel could hardly be missed by anyone, from the amount flowing over the spill ways of the main dam. ' I have for years looked upon Little River as one of the finest and most re liable streams in North Carolina; sup plied, as it is, with creeks and branch es fed from the springs from the sand hills of - Cumberland, Harnett and Moore' counties, it has at all seasons a full flow of clear spring water and at its minimum can always be depend ed upon, as it never runs dry as do the streams from the red clay sections. Messrs. W. D. McNeill and J. Sprunt Newton, to whom we are indebted for this splendid development, are cer tainly to be congratulated upon the practical completion of their work, as it Is now only a question of a few details for them to own a very Valua ble piece of property. Let me advise every man who likes to look at a good thing, and who has been a "doubting Thomas," as to the ability of those in charge, to "make good" their promises and agreements to complete this1 work, to take the noon traInoManche8terspend three Sours, satisfying themselves, and then come home on the 5 o'clock train and tell folks just what they have seen. Beyond making some necessary ad ditions to safeguard the dam and plant from high water, they will find an Ideal water power electrical plant Go see it. - V. jas. d. McNeill. William H.

Yield of Fruit- : Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage ment than of good luck. Fruit trees alid fruit plants need a UIxul supply of Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant foods-i-that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized that " return to the land what the tree rjemoves if you would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best . growers, . - : ,. i Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soort respond to . careful fertilization.. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. ; " I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. Oj ' Lowrjr, of Manatee County, Fla., " and yours proved to be the best The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as " much as where the other two i companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest because of their good qualities give better satisfaction and quicker ' results.. r " ; .
