Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLEO
WINSTON, \. c., Nov 17.-In place
where there is no thrift and enterprise.
money and lots, there are almost surely
to be boomers. These kind of men are
dangerous to the substantial growth of
any community and finally it will have
none. The false impression has gone
abroad that Winston-Salem is on boom.
Because of Its steady and substantial
progress boomers have found their way
into our midst, and the noise Of the
boom has gone abroad Winston will
carefully shun the rock on which many
other cities have split, and her land CON-
panies have linked themselves together
IN order to prevent booms and to prevent
pulling against each other The presi-
dents and secretaries of the different
companies have formed themselves into
board to study the means of growth
and to act in concert accordingly. Win
ston most respectfully hangs the sign
out at her door, mo Boomers Wanted"

An agent Of the Drue Mercantile
Agency was in our city Saturday making
arrangements to open up q branch Office
at this place. The papers have already
been signed which creates the office here
and it will be opened up Immediately.
Saturday all day capitalists from Bal
| timore and Philadelphia were driving
over the city putting down money in our
lots here and there and talking about
moving manufacturing enterprise on
the property of the Winston Salem Land
and Investment Company at an early
| date. Options have been taken on fine
mineral properties in the counties north
Of here.
Saturday afternoon many of our young
people went out to the Davis Military
School Athletic Grounds to witness an
interesting game of ball. Next Friday
or Saturday, Col. Davis thinks, he can
give dress parade around our public
squares. So many new cadets having
arrived it has been a difficult matter to
get them uniformed aud equipped for in
spectlon.
Next Sabbath Revs. w. G. Norman
and Ira Erwin preach their last sermons
during the present conference year to
their respective congregations here. 1t
is to be hoped that they will be returned.

Saturday afternoon it did my heart
good to hear strangers speak of our ex :
cellent Graded Schools. The day before
they had gone into the different depart
, ments and declared to me that they had
: visited graded schools in every state il
the South, the famous Atlanta schools
and some of the most wealthy and finely
, equipped in the North and West but 70
model school the Winston City Schoo
Y came nearer filling the bill than any o
:. them. They were exceedingly vel
a pleased and spoke as highly of the man
) agement Of Prof. Blair and the command
q of the teachers over their pupils.
Your correspondent wishes everybody
q in North Carolina could visit the above
;, institution. If they are friend to edu
cation it will make their hearts swell
> with pride.
Winston's manufacturers are becom
r. ing careful now as to buying stamps, 70
: fear they will have some left over afte
>. the first of January, when the reduction
! provision goes into effect. The sale o
stamps, therefore, at the revenue offic
is falling off somewhat, but last wee
1. we shipped 20O,0 900 pounds Of plug t
0t about 175 different points
L
= were about as large as any we have ha
"a "a this season. Although there is plent
7 of leaf, yet 1t is not as fine crop as
o was first represented to be.
