CONG. DIST.
This is properly the Piedmont Dis
trict though so diverse in its sections
as to be not easily defined. Its Southern
and eastern tier of counties are inter
sected by railroads which have numerous
| thriving towns, and there are seveTai
Railways projected which must greatly
| Gevelope the magnificent highland
counties. Salisbury, the chief town.
| has about loo population, 2 railroads.
machine shops, factories, &C., and by
reason of railway intersections will
probably double its population within
six or eight years. Statesville, the
| second town. and in some sense the
political entire of the Dist; has 5000
, population, fine business, two railroads
| and unusually promising prospects.

THE EIGHTH CONG'L. DIST.
This is usually termed the Mountain
District, because its twenty counties
are mainly west of the Blue Ridge. 1t
is rapidly developing into one of the
best known summer resorts in America,
and is noted for its fruit, cattle and
timber. Asheville the chief town o.
500 has doubled its population in ten
years, and VIII probably double again
within five years, owing to its inpor-
lance as a Railroad center.
