WINSTON, N. O., Aug. 29.-It has new
er been told the CHRONICLE readers that
there has been 100000 invested in
Winston Salem BY PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF
THE CITY within the past SIX MONTHS, but
nevertheless it is fact. The Daily of
this city yesterday appeared announcing
this, and it has set many of our people
to work calculating. The figures seem
steep but have them when anybody
doubts. The fact that outsiders have
had confidence to the amount Of one
million dollars in the future of city Just
IN the beginning of her development, and
before she has reached fifteen tbAlsand
inhabitants, speaks wonders Of great
growth that is to take place the next five
years. Could you have made the aver
age Carolinian believe that in the bor-
ders of his own great State there was
going up city which would some day
eclipse those O. The booming West in
point of commercial activity? When the
dissatisfied Carolina young man wants to
try his fortune in a growing section he
need not leave her borders. Let him
glance Westward, but there is no need
OF his eye reaching beyond the tops of
the Appalachians.
Another land and improvement COM
pany for Winston means that the conf
dence OF the people of means in our fu-
| ture is growing. To-day it was made
| known that Messrs. P. M. Wilson, r. J.
| Reynolds, J. L. Patterson and others
had organized what is to be known as
the North Winston Land and Improve
ment company with capital of SIS, 900,
with the privilege of increasing it. Their
lands lie out to the northwest and north
OF the city. and in one place nearly
touch the property of the West End
Hotel and Land company, which has q
capital of 100000.
Your correspondent saw to-day the
contour map of the latter com2any's
lands and also a complete plan of the
elegant resort hotel which is to cost over
a hundred thousand itself. The hotel is
to have long, fine front with right and
left wings, which are curved around to
totally cap the front view of the knoll
From the centre will be a long wing t(
the rear, the view from which will bt
superb.
To-day the hands who are working OF
the boulevard, completed the clearing O
tn wood and the grading will be com
pleted within a short time
To-day it was announced that the full
equipment of Messrs Breen, Feely ant
hv
the Roanoke and Southern, would bt
sold out to pay the laborers who wer
knocked out of their wages by the skip
ping of w. A. Stiles, a sub contracto
under this firm, who took away severa
thousand dollars unexpectedly. Th
property to be sold will amount to YER,
nearly $4,000, which will cripple th
firm to some extent
Flu ~ thousapd hands are at wor
grading the r. & S. road north towar,
Roanoke from Martinsville.
There is some difficulty yet in tn
Stiles affair.
Two convicts escaped from the rail
road squad yesterday and the guard wa
discharged. About six of those VIII
were on the sick list were sent back
: Raleigh to recuperate. The R. & S. roa
is now being rapidly pushed on t
Stoneville, which point they will prol
! bly, reach by the last of September.
