The educational advantages OF this
county are not inferior to any in the
STATE. The ''Salem Female Academy "
has beon IN successful operation for over
seventy five years, and is one Of the most
noted and popular institutions in the
South There are iifty white and eighteen
colored public schools. The Graded school
or Winston is III operation for its fiIs.. ses-
sion. ana is one Of the finest and 5ast ap-
pointed buildings for educational purposes
III the State.
There are Protestant churches Of al
most every denomination in every town
and throughout the county at different
points.
There are many other manufactures Of
impossible to give an account in this ar
ticle There is, however, ample room for
others which it is believed could be made
mos5 profitable, such as boot and shoe
factory. furniture shops, IL which q low

COW imported from New England and the

close at hand, and labor and taxation
are cheap as conscience could demand. .

ntO a business for which this county seems
o possess all the requisites
In conclusion we will describe the 'to-
oacco business which constitutes the
eading industry and which is located al
most exclusively in the county town of
Winston. AS has already been stated,
he first tobacco warehouse was estab
ished in 1872 by Maj. T. J. Brown, in an
Id stable building; previous to which time
10 pretentions were made as a tobacco
market by this town This venture prov
ng a success beyond the expectations of
he most sanguine, a larger house was
,uilt during the following winter, with
loor space of eleven thousand square feet.
there are now in Winston twenty two fac
ories and four warehouses; controlling
he largest trade in chewing tobacco in
he State. AS a market for leaf tobacco
t has no superior and the reputation
,ained by the tobacco manufacturer in
Winston is said to be dependent more
Upon the fact that nothing but native
took is used than from any peculiarly in
he manufacture.
There are in the county 81 factories,
chewing tobacco, and one
igar factory. For fear of doing injustice
o some, it is not my purpose to describe
ny Of these factories, which for size com
,leteness and quality Of product are IN
by any in North Carolina.
