PACTOLOS AND CAROLINA TOWNSHIPS. Two Of Pitt County Gardeu Spots, Their People And Business- PACTOLUS. In Asva MinoX, in that part known as ancient "Lydia, was a little strewxn known theater Pactottrs. On that' tfcram was ancient SeJis. Midas, otic of Lydia's king wUaed that ctry thing he touched would turn Ugold. Bacchus granted that wfah. ThraOTerjrth>hat Msdas toocsd turned to gold, even he food in -his mauth. Thus his wish d gratification became the gremtest.ciirts.and Midas oUas'ated retfeffcy bathing, at the command of .the .gods, in the River P act oWs, whose sands were turned into gold. And ws "Eardis and the country of the Pactoias became the richest of the Iben -known world. Froaa thit fctalory our Pactolus got kt name, About the yerr 179a' a schoof teacsxc, bynhe name of Lincoln, was teaching in our Pactolua section Observing I he productiveness of the toil and tke duture possibilities for producing gieat wealth, he called trial section 1he Pactolus ot Amen ca and about iio, the beginning of the village appeared and was named Pactolus. Previous to that time Yankee llall, now known s Pactolua landtag, on Tar river, was an important pJace in that section. The people were rural in those days and village did not spring up as now. It was long after petting its name before it became a village. The first store was built in 184a Now it is a village of business and 1 bustle. It is on Gnndie creek one mile from the river, and on th Washington A Parmelc branch of Atlantic CoaM Line Railroad, which was completed in 1S91. It is twelve miles from Greenville. It has three public gins, two saw mill, one grist mill, smith and repair &hopv six stores and over two hundred popu lation, ith a very large nearby population. Pactolus has no doctor. The sur rounding country is healthy and the climate good: The farm lands are very productive. Every crop grown in casiera uaroiina can oe grown around Pactolus. Near Pactolus is the Yankee Hall farm, where tradition says the noted pirate Tearh boned much treasure. One of hlj sUters lived there snd he often visited her. There are fe places about there that have not been searched and dug over for treasure and there are rumors that much hat been found.
