THE FRIES COTTON AND wooLEN
MILLS, SALEM.
In these days of wide awake and
pushing enterprise, in which industri-
al business ventures are the symbol of
the nations wealth and commercial
standing, it is proper to give as detail
ed account as possible Of such impor
tant enterprises as the above.
Late in the afternoon Of perfect
June day strolled over in the. quaint
old town of Salem. Every westward
window was blaze Of light, and it
lay in yellow fecks upon the old mos
sy tiled roofs in quiet, reposeful beau
.ty. My steps were arrested by the
hum of machinery, and turning, [ saw
what astonished me, the large elegant
new Cotton Mill of the Messrs. Fries.
The next move was to find the Office,
only short distance from the Mills.
[ found the gentlemanly Proprietors
perfectly willing to enter into CONVEX
sation about their business, which they
did with a frank and ready grace,
seeming at ease and on good terms
with the world at large

in 1868 and the business was conduct
ed by Mr.. III. w. Fries.
In 1879 the business was resumed
under the old pame of Frank III. Fries
and continued in the hands of the
present firm, Messrs. III. W., j. W.,
F. H. and III. E. Fries.
Their second Cotton -ssstory was
built in 1880 with capacity for $3.50
spindles and 1S0 looms. This is a very
handsome, we'll constructed three sto-

Fries got his special design from an

1t gives me much pleasure to find
among the prominent young members
of the Winston bar, Mr.. Eugene Gray,
whom met in Raleigh several years
ago. nd who was at that time ingaged
in the Insurance business. Mr. Gray
is a graduate of the Emory and Hen
ry College-graduated in 1873 at the
age of seventeen. He afterwards read
law with Judge Strong and was ad
mitted to the select at the January
term of court in 1879. Aside from
the pleasure of having met him sever
al years ago, it gives me greater pleas
ure to know that Mr.. Gray has been
successful as an attorney in his native
home.
Col. P. III. Winston is the brightest
genius at thelWinston bar. He is a
man of the most striking Individual
ty-he is unique-he is brilliant. If
you were to see him once you would
not be likely to forget him. You are
obliged to write enthusiastically about
him or not at all. There is a glow in
his face when he talks that you but
rarely see, and that quite "sets him
apart" [ am very sincere and very
much in earnest when [ say that he
will always have my best wishes.

showing signs of vitality, and the COW
etous eyes of capital in Europe as we'll

amazing resources. Railroads age run

most every description are in working
operation; manufactures of various
kinds, and in many instances of extra
ordinary capacity, are fourishing in
every State, forests are disappearing

for them ; agriculture is all the time
improving and advancing; men with
out work are exceptional the old cit

some of them greatly and prosperously
neW towns have sprung up and are
rapidly expanding into cities; farmers,
mechanics, merchants, professional
men, are not emily living but laying up
surplus in many instances; and In
deed almost everywhere and in almost
everything, throughout the length and
breadth of the Southern territory,
there are indications of a much great
