MISTO..SAEEJI. The Standard lias no apology for consuming so much space for telling what the editor saw, heard and learned about North Carolina's biggest and best town. We believe ourreaders will be interested in the reading of it. In preparing this we obtained no little help from facts obtained from Mrs. A. V. Winkler's Souvenir and dates and facts kiudly given us b; Miss Gertrude E. Jenkins, who enjoys the reputation of being the most efficient stenographer in the State. Winston-Salem owes its greatness to King Tobacco and to the indom activity of its population. There are no factories in this live ci y. are no mossbacks or fogies thev can't live there the clique I here there; atmos- phere is instant death to them. It would heip every town iu the State to send some representative men to Winston-Salem to catch on to a peculiar push that i3 prevalent there. The population is made up of restless and active men, with good horse sense. They welcome every body selfishness is unknown. The Twin Cities i3 the Atlanta of the Tar Heel State. SEPOUTED FIFE-SCHEXCK I) I' EL. The Matter ForeYer Settled Se rip tnrnl Answers to Interrogators. Charlotte Cnronicle. The following letter received yes terday from Evangelist Fife explains itself: Mt Vernon Springs, N. C, Aug. 18. Upon my return from the Northern Bible corference last week I found a report going the rounds of the press that Judge Schenck and myaeif were arranging to light a duel. Allow me to 6ay it is absolutely false, and without foundation. I think the report does injustice to both Judge Schenck and myself- I also see in the same article a report to the erlect that I will have case brought before the civil courts, which is also not true. The matter has been settled so far as I am con cerned forever. I have had some friends to write and ask me why I did not write an article in defence of myself. In the first place I will say to them and to others that may have asked thenicclves that question, that I am out working for God and fighting his battle?, and if I do my duty he will defend my character a gain t all adversaries. He says in Psalms xxxvii:G. "I will bring fortu your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday." He also says in Isiah xiiv:17. "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall arise against you in judgement thou eh alt condemn, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." Then Hgain, why should I have anything to say in my own behalf when the ministers and christian people of Greensboro have seeu fit ti defend me ? Then, again, one more reason, "and this is the greatest of all,' Christ Jesus gave me an example in Isiah liii:3 and 7. "He is despised and rejected of men, a man ot sor rows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces fioiu him: he was despised, and we esteemed him not; he was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the daughter, and as a sheep before his shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth." And 6urelr if Jesus could do this for me, I think it little as I could do to keep quiet and follow his com mand in Matthew v.ll. "But I say unto you, love your enemies, blet s them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use and persecute you." And now, so far as newspaper eontroversary is concerned, with ine this is the Alpha and Omega- Also allow me before I close this article to thank the hundreds of friends iu North Carolina aud elsewhere, who have by letter and otherwise expressed to me their sympathy iu these, my times of troub:, assuring them it ia greatly appreciated. I am yours redeemed by the blood of (Jlmst. W, P. Fiff. WIHSTDH-SUJEM Oisto 111 S.i en Hustling, Busy Winston ! R KESl'EC'TX TO THE II I'KTLI'.KK !

It sprang into existence from necessity, and its marvelous growth since its birth reflects credit on the spirit and char acter of the people who have made inston what it is. The man that has not visited the Twin Cities has not seen easy the best and most prosperous in North Carolina, and one for thrift and business activity unsurpassed by any in the South. Newspapers, magi zine articles, descriptive letters and tonsrues have not told half. The story is a big and interesting one It is full of lives, of words, brains and muscle and energy and pluck, indomitable spirits, that story is. This writer had never seen Winston Salem until the morning of the 12th. lie had read about them ; he had pictures drawn and knew what was coming. Such is not true. That the Twin Cities are, in impor tunes and character, about 100 times larger than fancy had taught him, the writer is free to admit, SALEM. Among the rolling woodlands that furnish an approach to the Blue Ridge mountains, and nearly one thousand feet above the sea, is the town of Salem, founded one hun dred and twenty-eight "years ago by the Moravians (Unitas Fratrum) un der the supervision of Frederick William Marshall, who in 1793 wa3 superintendent of the AVachovia named thus on account of the meadow (Aue) along the (Wach) priucip:il creek resembliug some what the outlines of the valley in Austria formerly in the possession of the Zinzendorf family settle ment. Marshill, educated at the University of Leipzig, and through the influence of Zinzendorf entered the Unity of Brethren and studying the English language, became a justly popular and able leader. It is he to whom the historian accords the honor of founding the place of our subject. It is said that he gave his personal attention to the laying out of the grounds and the beauti fying of the surroundings and the planting of trees, and through his good taste and judgment he made the beginning of an interesting town. During the first part of 1TG3 Marshall located the town and called it Salem (peace), in accordance with the request of Count Zinzendorf. That the settlement lived, grew and became permanent and strong, shows the well directed plans of it3 founder and the character of the people whom he led. New arrivals came in from Europe and Pennsylvania, Wrrk began with a determination. Authenticated accounts give some thing like this : "In June the first family house was erected of logs aud a loom set up. Every thing was governed by agents of the church, the hotel, bakery, pro vision store, tannery, saddlery, shoe shop, and every class of labor the church paying them only a pro rata for their services. The lands were leased for farming purposes. No outsider was permitted to live within the Moravian settlements, and no reckless character ever dis graced the town by lawlessness." They rose, began work and retired by the ringing of the bell at the meeting-house. It must be remembered that try ing difficulties were encountered. The raw condition of the country, the limited number of settlers, and the trials of the revolution joined in taxing and tempting the spirits of the heroic band. But they were not to fail, that was not in it. It has been said of Moravians that they are economic, industrious, perse vering and systematic, and history does not tell of a failure where these elements are found. TUE FIRST TOWN, kC. There is an interesting history of! the location and settlement of the first Moravian town, which was known as "Bethabara," and in later days as "Old Town." The few men who started it worked together in unity ; they appreciated their condi tion. The work was divided out some went to Virginia for salt; one! went to Dan river to buy oxen, and others sought the Yadkin valley for flour and corn. They had a physi cian among them, and that people sent a distance of sixty miles for him is evidence of his skill aud ability. They increased in build ings aud enterprises as their settle ment began to grow iu population. Bernhard Adam Grube, who wa3 a native German and superintendent of the colony in temporal affairs, returned to Pennsylvania and was succeeded by John Jacob Fries. (Mr. S. F. Patterson, of Forest Hill, is a great-great-grandson of this gentleman.) The name Bethabara nit a. is "house of passage," but the colony kept in view the idea of establishing a central town, which afterwards was Salem. The first Moravian child born in North Carolina was in this settlement, and she was baptised. "Anna Johanna Krause." At the close of 175G, the population numbered sixty-five per sons. The church built by those people is an attraction for tourists, and many go there to study its peculiarities. A description of this church ii given by Mrs. A. V. Winkler. Space does not allow its' publication now, but the Standard has it in store for another issue. FORMEU CUSTOMS OF MORAVIANS. The Moravians had no difficulty with the Indians, as they treated them with kindness and gave them food, for all this the government of North Carolina afterwards paid the Moravians. For a long time thry made no provisions for entertaining visitors; they contented themselves with suf cent room for their selves, while laboring to establish their settle ment. A writer says: While contem plating the cluraeter of the early Moravians of North Carolina we are lost ia admiration hero were a peo ple sucking homes in a trackless wilderness, guiding their lives by Christ as a model, relying upon His strong arm in every hour of trial, seeking to be the first, true and faithful in order to impress others with the loveliness of the christian beatitudes, proposing to educate the heathen and erect an altar for relig ion which should become a centre of missionary effort." The publication of the descrip tion of the clwch at Old Town will give one an insight to the cus toms and tastes years ago. They leased their lands for farm ing purposes, an idea that is obtain ing much following in this day. They for-nerly sustained in Salem a Brother's House, where aged bach elors were cared for. This is now known as the Widows' House The Sisters' House, in its original me thods, has been discontinued, but is yet rented to unmarried ladies who prefer not to live with relatives and desire to support themselves. The first lire engine ever brought to America (from Germany in 17So) is a tjneer old thing, and is preserved with much interest It was a custom of the Moravians, years ago, to marry by lot. The young people were not allowed to mingle fieely in social life. Not withstanding the peculiarities con uected with marriage as celebrated among Moravians in earner ttavs, there has never been a divorce. The manner of courtship, if such it is, is given in these words : " When a brother desired to marry he went to the pastor of the church, signifying bis purpose, and perhaps naming the young lady wnose cnaracter ironi leputation would suit him. Assem bling the elders, after consultation and prayer, he matter was decided by lot believiag if it came out 'yes' it was God's will, and if 'no,' accepting it as not the best for either they should live together in matri mony. When the lot revealed 'yes,' then the minister went to the elderess of the bisters' House and told her the decision. She summoned the young sister, who had the privilege of declining or accepting the offer of marriage after due consideration. If she accepted, the day was ap pointed, and tne elderes immediat ly ut to work to help her prepare lor the impor'aut event, one of the re quirements teing a goodly supply of ineu for household use, which was spun from the llax cultivated so ex tensively in the country and woven by their own hands, lhe marriage was usually celebrated at the church, the bride entering one door with her father, the bridegroom the other meeting at the altar perhaps for the first time." Many stories cluster around the memory of the old Salem Hotel. A ghost story is given, in the truth of which many believe. It is said that Peter Stuart Ney stopped there, and a room is known as the one in which GvOrge Washington once slept. THE MORAVIAN' CEMETERY. A more beautiful place, with ap pearances grand and attractive, is not in North Carolina. The cemetery is not neglected a3 is the case in some communitU'S. The green carpet of gt-tation 'is watched aud kept in right shape; no weeds appear. The avenue that runs along iu front of the cemetery, lined bv magnificent cedars a century old, is perhaps the superior, in symmetry and beauty, to anything in the State. It is said that the grave levels all humanity. Iu observing unpretentious tombs near elegant aud costly monuments, some remarked, " Not the grave but its bottom levels all humanity." Such is not the case in the Moravian cemetery. There is a very small mound, at the head of which lies flat an 18x18 inch slab, that contain? the eimple name, birth and death dates. No tomb stands up. In one square old men are buried, in an other the young, and across an avenue the graves of aged and young ladies are arranged in plats. THE ACADEMY. This Institution was founded in 1802, and has had since uninter rupted prosperity. Since the organ ization of this Institution more than 10,000 pupils have been edu cated there. Even during the dark days of the War for Southern Inde pendence the buikung wa3 filled to its utmost capacity. The last term had an enrollment of oou girls. The Institution is so well known that nothing we may say will be new. In Cabarrus there are quite a num ber of women who wer j educated at this Institution, and they yet talk of the school days at Old Salem. The beauty about Salem Female Acade my is the thoroughly practical line upon which training of pupils is directed, besides the capacious room and the excellent care and supervi sion all pupils receive. Since the founding of the Institution iu 1802 the following are the principals : Rev. Samuel Kramsch. " Abraham Stewer. " Gotthold B. Reichel. " John Chrestian Jacobson. " Chas. Adolphus Bleik. " Emil A. de Schweinitz. " Robert de Schwcinitz. " Mr. E. Grunert " J. T. Zorn. " Edward Rondthaler. " John II. Clewell. pjiE PARK. The beauty of tiie park in the rear of the' Academy building is !? yond description. The trees a.e first growth, besides some that were planted to complete the symmetry of a figure. The fountains in differ ent parts ad'l freshness to the scene, and a spring nearly seventy-five feet b'low the base of the Institution is tastily put in shape for use and convenience. Rustic chairs are numerous, and "Lover's Leap," a high offset, receives that name not from any actinl demonstration but from the suitableness of the spot for such pranks. Tlir. MlLSEl'M.

A stranger can not help from admiring Salem, and be almost snell-bound at some things to be seen. There is prevailing r.n iir of human kiudness, peace with all and a disposition to shoulder each other's burdens, There is scarcely a home without a musical instrument, and the society there is beautifully cul tured and refined. That one police man does all there is to do speaks volumes for th. law-observing citi zens. Salem has its own mayor and officers and its own postoflice. Many notes taken can not he used for the lack of space, but the reader can not take a more profitable visit than one to Salem. VINMO A NK.KillltOl'. The I.ivesl Tom ii In Winston The Stale is Winston is only another name for success. It is easy at the top of the I rocession of growing towns. LOCATION. Side by side with Salem is Win ston. Where one ends the other begins. A stranger can not tell, nor does he need to tell. It makes no difference, neither does Winston care. The people of the two towns or cities now live and trade among each other, and while each has its own government, they are yet the same town. STIiEETS, iC. Winston yearly is adding to its macadamized streets, and even now her main streets are in excell. lit condition. The electric cars, every one of them beauties and comforts, run on the four main streets with branch lines to, different points. A person stands at one point and every ten minutes a car passes along. We were told, too. that the system was paying handsomely, lhe com pany that operates the electric cars also furnish are lights for the town. Some of the streets are beautiful, but as business swells i.nd extends and bursts out, the trots and pri vate residences give way to magnifi cent store rooms. FACTORIES, kc. There are 30 plug tobacco facto ries, with an annual output of $3, 300,000; 18 leaf and re-drying fac tories, 1,000,000 ; -1 warehouses; 4 cigar factories, producing 4,000, OuO cigar3 per year, output .s.r)( 1,000 ; 3 smoking tobacco factories ; one cotton factory, cousuming 1,000, 000 pounds of cotton ; one hosiery mill ; one woolen factory, consum ing 180,000 pounds of wool annu ally ; 2 flouring mills, capacity 30,0d0 pounds per day; three iron and machine shops; 4 wagon works; 2 furniture factories; one fruit canning establishment ; 2 broorii factories ; one fertilizer fac tory; and many ether manufactur ing enterprises. STORES, kC. Winston-Salem has a good back country, and with 5,000 operative in the tobacco factories there is room for extensive mercantile and other business. There are G wholesale stores, 78 stores (general merchan dise), G hardware stores, 12 contrac tor j ; other places of business, 104. This is exclusive of lawyers, tea diers and agents (railroad and real estate.) SOME IDEA ABOUT MONEY. Winston-Salem people invest in Winston dirt and Winston enter prise. They do not run off after false gods. The 5,000 factory hands are paid off every two weeks, and just imagine how much money is put into circulation. Without including salaries to clerks or persons em ployed in stores, shops, livery sta bles, hotels, restaurants, or anything outside of factory operatives, there was paid in wages, in 1S89, S97, 258.98. This does not include money spent for leaf tobacco in the ware houses it is wages! TtBACCO WAREHOUSES: Between October 1, 18S0, and March 20, 1890, there was paid out by warehouses for leaf tobacco just $1,03S,755.S7. During the month of November, 1890, 1,800,000 pounds of leaf tobacco were sold. 1'OFULATlOK is over 14,000, and increasing ra pidly. Bradstreet rates the Twin Cities at 5,000,000. HOTELS. Mr. George R. Quincy, a most ex celleut gentleman, kind and clever, is manager of the Quincy House. Mr. Quincy, unfortunately, has not the house he and the town deserve, but Geoige Quincy feeds a fellow in royal style.

In the lirst place, at the Alliance meet ings heretofore t.e election of offi cers always occurred on Thursday. This time it was held a day ahead; that is, as far as president and State lecturer are concerned. Mr. Butler was the leader of the Alliance in the last Legislature, and is in the highest councils of the order. He is editor of the Clinton Caucasian, and is quite a young man, a strong and enthusiastic speaker, and very aggressive. He also led the move ment which resulted in the passage of the railway commission act. Senator Bell, of Clay, becomes the State lecturer. He i3 also a very ardent Allianceman. The Quill drivers.

We were entertained there by Hotel Gordon, a small hotel, that has been built in New Wilkesboro, The day wa3 spent in eating, driv mg and drinking pure mountain water. At Old Wilkesboro we met Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hix and L, (Fayte) M. Pharr. They all like their new home. A magnificent brick hotel is just being completed. We had the pleasure of meeting Congressman C.owles, who remained so true to a Cabarrus county vete ran. We were in the house in which Senator Jno. B. Gordon, of Geor gia, was born. The house is on i very high knoll, overlooking all the surrounding country. we stopped at iMKin ior nair an hour on the return. The citizens met us with fruits, cider and many other good things. The little girls had small bouquets tied in ribbons printed as follows: "Elkin, N. C, Welcome." Little Miss Willie Click and little Miss Lizzie Nash mnde the editors kneel and get the beautiful flowers pinned on their coats. Ihese sweet little girls made us feel like living. To forget Winston-Salem,to forget the hospitality of a live and splen did people, to forget the royal enter tainmenr, is to forget you are in the land of the Jiving, and he that doe: it is to be pitied. In ten years, (this is our parting word and pre diction) Winston-Salem will have a population of 30,000. Mark you! While in Winston we were a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Ogburu. In this delightful home and with this most hospitable and kind family, we were royally enter tained. F.iioeht ille llemw.
