Mr.. Editor This is one of the most
active, thriving towns | have visited.
Its population and business are rapidly
increasing, and Its railroad shipment in
dictate greater variety of agricultural
products aud pursuits than any county
In the State. In tact,p labarrus has
TWO distinctive soils, two different eli
mates. and TWO separate populations.
The Eastern part OF the County has a
cold, oroAeu, sandy soil-settled almost
entirely by Dutch and German-a.ways
thrifty and self reliant, raising their
own supplies and making no debts.
The " estern part has a warm, level.
clay soil, settled mainly by Eng i,h,
Scotch and Irish. On either siie the
streams and local surroundings indicate
the differences. East of Concord. YOU
find cold water creeks lbig and little
Dutch butialoe creek, the village oi
Slount Pleasant, any number OF gold
mines, and Other peculiar characters
tics. West OF Concord you have Irish
and English, Buffaloe creek, Alallard
creek, Back creek. Nicely creek, and
other Indications Of a Hat, Atlantic re-
gion. In their earlier days the two
populations INDUCED in fierce and fire
quent conflicts. and when the new
county OF Cabarrus was cut off from old
Mecklenburg, the struggle over the 10
cation OF the county site grew so bitter
as to threaten a r. ,eai Of the act, when
Stephen CabarrU~, alter whom 1t had
been named, wrote a letter to the com
mlssIoners so fu.l OF patriotism and
harmony that they at once buried al
differences, located the present town,
and dubbed it toHcDrd. From these
conflicts, these differences of soil, eli
mate, race aud products, spring the
greatest progress and the highest pros
perlty. Cabarrus raises almost every
thing; it is full of blooded stock !; it
has Its own fence law; is preparing to
adopt Its W road law; is developing
its mines; has any number OF fish
ponds, its cotton factory, and any kind
of school, church, and college. By the
way, while Mecklenburg is discardinc
the Alexander Road Law" the more
practical people of Cabarrus are talking
Of adopting it.
