v THIS WESTERNSglfTmEL, WIinTON-SALEM, N. . C. jgtntf- l - ? i F , VhenWinston Was 'A Village By Harry Lee Dalton. I once beard an interesting story, ' telling why tne legislature passed an act on January, 1849, creating For- 'V sytn county out of Stokes.. When toe t county- seat was at Oermanton the ' Moravians would ride their horses to court and tie them to the fence of Mr. i . J. W. Biting, who lived close tp the . court nouse. Mr. tutting, Deing waig : nant at having his fence torn down every court, determined-to , unfasten ' the horsea. Thig made the Mora vians very indignant and tbey vowed tnat tney would, form another county : .. and change their county seat z The Moravian carried out their threat and selected a spot for ' a court notree and jail about a mile from the balem Moravian church. Thug a new county feat was formed .which is situ ate, two Hundred miles inland from the jseaja the , heart of. the famed v ledmont section of Uie South with an altitude of nearly one thousand feet, a cllmatedry and healthful. 'tbS subject rWaen' Winston Was a Village came to me thrqugh a sugges tion from my Knajfsh teacher., ( know ui HiuB, ui U17 own. Knowledge, aDoul tne time Winston wag a village, for Winston is somewhat older than D 1 shall be compelled, therefore, to write upon information gleaned from inter views -wiin people Who Knew Winston from-its birth to the time that Jt com menced tot call itself a town and city. Winston began, when but young, to : put on airs, to boast of the enterprises or it citizens and to predict great wunga ;or ita jumre. By , the time it reached, the ago of twenty-one years, 11 naa grown to a village Of perhaps three hundred happy and contented oiuxens, each one knowing every othei cltiaen , intimately. Uts male .citizens wore no coats in warm weather, ex cept on Sunday. Its women and young inuiei anew notning of clubs, nothing Of. "pink teas.?, of "pop calls," for one visited another usually the . whole family went along, and. spent the en. tire day, partaking of two meals,, din ner; and wipper. They had a perfect right, having no town charter, so mi bid pal or police, government, to talk about their neighbors at will. Thu? was the only governmental restraint upon the men and boys, but this re- . atraint -was sufficiently wholesome to secure. orderly: Conduct on the part pi ; all the male population, ; Winston then had no baseball teams no football games, but the boyB played, marbles in the streets and the glrlt jumped the, rope on the Uvwna and had no sweetheart until they had passed : the age of sixteen, :i. East' of" the'townT&iT .firusay . Fork creek, was an old mill owned bj '. Nathaniel Blum,, who. was affectionate- ly known as Knotty Blum. Dp, the creek, about the, mill pond, were many , old runs filled, with water and othei ponds. Heje,manj picnics were beld j and many were -the hours the young folks spent by the side ;of Uhig .om mill,, The principal gport f these day wag. fishing,, and the young men. and boys loved to angle in these bodies of . water for perch. The fish they caught were about the Size of pumpkin seeds, but they were Hah and they, were al) brought home and cooked for supper, ' There were no cattle laws in the good old days of; Winston. Sheep, cows, hogs' and dogs had the freedom of the city. The cattle ringed over the whole neighborhood ' for ; miles around, and browsed for a living. . The .'hog -were all of razor back variety.1 , They, ot their living for the greater ' portion of the year by .climbing in the fanners' wagons, robbing the farmers' dinner baskets and forcing themselves through garden and truck patch fences and rooting up, and destroying plants and vegetable. . The sheep ranged the : hills in the summer time, came in, In the early winter and took their quar ters in the court house, to the great annoyance of the .Hon..' John . Black Jrorn,,who during all these years was clerk of the superior eourt of Forsyth county, ana also probate judge. Old people tell me that the probate Judge '. usually slept in. his office in the court , noose and "had .'many controversies with' the 014 jretefan leaders of the flock of sheep, and it had even been Intimated that some times during the dark hourg of the .night, strong lan guage was used on both sides in the many controversies that arose. -During these days, Winston bad but one doctor; tthe, people were healthy and lived to j ripe old age.j There were three lawyers in the village, and If. a man. got crippled, (usually hewn permitted to recover and return to his avocation .without a visit rom a sin gle .lawyer on professional business. I have been told, that tbe court's dock ets, during this period of Winston's village life, do not show the record of a single action brought to recover damages for personal interests. Tne village having but one doctor, there was not a single surgical opera tion during this period for appendi citis.,. Hookworms were never knows or heard of and there was not a ease of pellagra within the corporate limits. Sometimes .there appeared scattered .aei or measles, mumps, whooping "ow anainen a slight case of. colic at the usual season. Wtn ton, as an .Infant, had no rich lawyers or doctors: , the cltlpn much money and, indeed, had very lit- '" lur . -oys, wnen growing np, had ew. pennies, and now aad then e small .piece, of silver, all of which tney careruiiy hoarded. Coca Cola and ether soft drinks were unknown la the town. No wonder this village afterwards grew into a great cHy. -- There waa little politics in the ill lage la those days. After the village . w" incorporated it was a difficult matter, toj find candidates for mayor and commissioners. The word graft w . uuKuown m mis Tillage; taxes were very low and public funds were -very small at that time. 1 hv. wn told that tbe most exciting election ever neia in tne village, and one that ortugni out a run vote, was upon the question as to whether the village raxor-back hogs should further run at large or be penned by - the owners. Thig brought out a aojid.vote of legs than a hundred ballots cast, and took place when tbe village waa Just twenty-one year ot age. During this period the Ig.ljc rore 'hats of ordinary dimensions, . which never had to be removed In public as semblings. At one time, however, hoop skirts were in fashion, about the size of an ordinary toDacco tierce. 1 They were a sight they started Ismail but grew larger each year until thev obtained their lull size as lndi cated above. When this craze had reached its climax a village poet com posed (he following lines: "Tell me ye winged wings .That 'round my pathway roar, Is there not some, quiet ipqt Where hoops are known no more?

Tot young people all got married .at th proper "age;' the yonnjf ladles helped their mothers in the house work; al learned to cook, all had rosy cheeks all -walked with an elastic step; tbe; 3at uprtght'in church, and you nevei saw a young man sitting near one ant caking an inventory so as to ascertaii the probable cost ot her wearing- ap pare! and then engaging in a mathe matical calculation to see whether h could. offer to marry. The consequent was that the village had. very few ok bachelor shells within its Umits,,, 5 ; There' 'were Very few liars In ;iin Milage,- not more than one' or two, ant -.bey were compelled to wear badges fhe people gave in, their taxes, honest y, "Rendering unto Caesar the thing that were Caesar's", without complain 3T evasion.

I would not exchange the happy and contented people of a village of three hundred people for a whole city, full of .men wildly struggling for the accumulation at fortunes:. The one Is God built. The' other is tbe work of nervous hands propelled by'- abnormal - disordered brainsi -,We would Jo well in 1U to consider, going back to village habits. ; .We have been speaking' of ithe. In habitants. "Now let us close by look ing at some of the buildings In those days. We have already spoken ,of the court house, so let us look at tbe buildings surrounding it. There was a general merchandise store on the cor ner of Main and Liberty streets, Con ducted by Mr. B. F. CrosJand, and Hod- gin at Sullivan s store evas on the cor ner of Liberty, and Fourth streets. TIse's furniture store was on the east aide of the court house, and Thomp son's drug store was on the east, until It burned down, then he moved to the north side of the court house. Where the municipal building now'- stands there was a garden In which the late Mr, John Kester kept two rabbit gums. Mr. Robert Gray rah a merchandise store where the Wachovia Loan and Trust Co. building is, . and he lived tacingtbe court house. Curing these days Winston had onlv tw hotels, which were the Merchants'.! and Wilson .hotels. To show what a magistrate, and WV W Albea had the magistrate's office . and ; a tailoring shop all in one roomv The maRlstrate's salary was $52 per year.' The Owl warehouse was opened ud in an old stable, run by Maior- Brown.. When tobacco came fn eiirnclent quantities tor a sale, the Major would blow a large horn to let the oayerg know that a sale was golng to bp held. There Was not a stone on any ot our streets and It, wag not an unusual sight to see drays sink tip to the hub on Main street,- All goods ,ia those, days were buiu wr tu., mercnanis nad CO .or ders and there were no delivery wag ons and such things as collectors were nnknown. ; We had no apparatus for lighting fire and when the block burn ed where the People's Bank now stands, sereral men lined up and pass ed buckets of water from a little hand pump tnat belonged to Salem.' ..; Prohibition had not yet been thnnhi of and when a man would get drunk me peopie wouia lock him tip in a lit tle house about the size of a chicken coop. It was so small that It had no windows but had holes bored l fh sides for air, A man was allowed to stand In this until he became sober. ( - in SOUTH POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Farmers are jsing iertinzers more scientmcaiiy ind better farming la being practiced ery generally throughout the South, which may be. expected to result In in increase In the average yield per icre.

Looking forward to tne progressive development of Its terri tory, the carrying capacity, of , those parts of its lines where the traffic is not sufficiently heavy to require douV ble tracking is being increased by the construction of a modern system of lap-aidlnga. and these lap-sidings tare being so constructed that, if business Shall become sufficiently, heavy fer double-track lines, they can be used In a double-track system...

There no one to warn him that love and sweet red Hps can be bitter fruit and women false as they are. alluring. uiuyaiiiuiiB ol Qoia sexes see him go ing headlong to destruction without re gret,, without a word to stay him. or n tear. -;r - .
