advantages and the sold growth
given 10 the city by the influx OF
capital. we believe that the bright
est day of its history Is yet IN the
future.
1t was our pleasure TO visit some
of the places of interest in the city,
and we have seen no place where
the people are more unanimous IN
one directlon-and that IS the
building up of their city. Every
one who has lived there for any
length of time has uppermost in his
mind the common welfare OF Win,
ston-SaIcm; and those who move
there soon catch the spirit and are
in the solid ranks for progress and
for improvement.
Besides the great manufacturing
industries the g are other Influences
that make the twln-city attractive
to the outside; and notably among
these are the schools of the place
Salem Female Academy, presided
over by Rev. j. II. Clewel', is one
of the foremost institutions of learn
ing in the Solth: and there is q
prestige about its history that
makes every single inh9bltant OF
the old town proud of it. It's truly
a beautiful place and its beauty is
not it's greatest charm. The high
grade of scho' arshiD that character
ICES TIE institution in all It's depart
ments, gives 1t advantage over
almost any simile institution IN the
country. 1t is truly a model inst
tuition and IS worth much to the
twin city in It's march OF progress.
The famous Davis School recently
moved from La Grange, is anCtF er
potent factor in Winston Salem $
progress. Thera is perhaps no
similar institution il the South tt 1T
has 50 commended itself to the
public. Col. A. G. Davis, tie pio-
gresslye superintendent of the
school, has succeeded in M king a
reputation second to no one man
aging military school in the cOun-
try. Though yet young man, he
is possessed OF many rare accom-
plshments and is easily amongst
the foremost educators of the South.
His buildings are beautifully located
on the western borders of the town
Immediately on the Mocksvile
railroad; and the site is beautiful
one, aud his work Is a source OF
pardoned pilde to the people of the
city. Col. Davis is a worker and
the prosperity Of his school is
unmistakabie evidence of it.
The new Zinzend0rf hotel will
soon be completed and though mole
than a mile from the centre of the
town, 1t wilt beiwithin easy reach OF
the centre OF business by reason OF
the street car lines that traverse
the entire town. There are already
several miles Of car lines running
through the various parts of the
town, and soon the lines will be eX
tended even beyond the extreme lin
its Of the town. The Zinz2ndorf is
already well under way and WREN
completed vii. be one OF the finest
and most. commOdiouS all-the-year-
round hotels in the South. The
equable climate in Wlnston-Salem
is such as to make the twin.city a
resort for 9TH winter and summer.
Indeed we know of no pl2c, blessed
with finer climate than Piedmont
North Carolina, and Winston.Salem
enjoys most favorable location in
that part of the State.
The Graded Schools are of a h!g h
order and the churches are we'll
presided over by able and progress
slye divines.
The royal welcome the people of
Winston-Saleu gave the editors OF
the state was even warmer than
they had anticipated. Every HON :
was open to them and nothing was
omitted that could have added to
their pleasure and comfort. The
homes in Winston Salem are all
attractive from without. and an air
OF wealth in many and comfort in
all prevails within. Such was the
hospitality shown the members CT
the press that not one of them was
allowed to pay his fare on the street
cars-Indeed complimentary passes
were given the members Of the
Press Asso citation.
Personally, the editor of THE
DEMOCRAT was shown many cour-
tesies and by many citizens. While
