A DESCRIPTION OF SALEM

Visit There.
AN IDEAL MORAVIAN COMMUNITY.

! The Home, Recently Established by

Movement to Establish a Hospital
: in Winston-The Calvary Chapel
In recent number of The Moray

i Joseph A. Rice describes visit he
made to Salem in the interest of the
| theological seminary nearly finished
at Bethlehem. Among other things
| he said:
Salem is in many respects an ideal
Moravian community. There is no
church of any other denomination
within its city limits. The home

soon to become six in number, tOgeth-

town, and extends unto its twin city,

a recent institution, and an impor-
tant factor in church life is 1.-The
Home" purchased and established by
the sisters of the congregation as a
retreat for the aged and invalid poor
and for orphan children. 1t is sup
ported by the voluntary contributions
of the people at an annual cost of
about 81 200.
Moravian women are the leaders in
movement to establish hospital in
Winston, which will be successful.
The congregation at Salem numbers
eight hundred communicates. To
care for the fourteen hundred child

attend the praycr-meetlngs in its
various chapels, demands. large

the congregation are active in spirit
ual as well as in material things. The
policy has been for years to develop
lay activity in provincial as well as
congregational affairs. The Academy
would never had done what it did, if
it had not been for the lay help. The
laymen are very closely associated
with the ministers in all work. The
young people are especially active in
spiritual work, and it was a matter of
surprise and qualification to see the
large number of young men and wom-
en- in attendance at the morning SER
vice at the church.
An essential point in the position of
affairs impressed me greatly, that is:
there is only one pastor who is the
responsible head of affairs. He is
most ably assisted by the Brethren

HIGH POINT ANXIOUS
For Railroad to Connect With the
N. & w. Here.
Ir3m the High Point Enterprise. |

from the High Point Enterprise]
The more we think about it and
the oftener the question is discussed,
the more does it appear that High
Point and Randolph county along the
line of the Asheboro road should make
some effort to get railroad communi-
cation with Winston. We have one
outlet North and South and so far so
good, but what we want is compel
ing line and it deeS seem that while
we are within eighteen miles of the
great Norfolk s. Western system, we
might reach out and take hold of it.
We can never realize the advantage
such an enterprise would give US UNI
til it is completed. 1t would make us
the center of attraction from every
direction and would draw all people
unto US. Such advantage would
make US large city within a few
years and the growth would be so
rapid that we could hardly realize it.
There is one thing this town has
realized and that is that if we ever be-
come city, it must come through
manufacturing. There is no other
salvation. There are smaller things
which will help to an extent but the
main stay is the factory. If the fac
tories multiply and prosper, we live,
if they do hot we die. When we say
this we do not belittle the business in
other lines we are proud of them all.
but we face the truth and speak it
when we speak thus of the factories.
If what we say about the factories
is true, then it is not to the adyan-
tage of all the community to look
after the maintenance of TIE factor
les and the establishment of more?
There is nothing that would give the
impetus to the manufactures here as
this short railroad to Winston. More
wood, more tobacco, cheaper rates,
larger population, and scores of adj
yantages as soon as the last spike is
driven,

LARGEST OF THE SEASON.
Tobacco Breaks at the Winston Ware
houses.

''The biggest tobacco break of the
season."
That is what the farmers and ware
housemen say about the Winston
market Friday.
Considering the season the amount
of weed offered for sale Was immense.
At the four warehouses there were
325 wagons which arrived last night
and this morning from all over the
Piedmont section. In addition to the
wagon trade there were pretty large
shipments by rail. In weight it was
estimated that at least los, 700 pounds
of leaf were sold.
At Browns warehouse there were
about 100 wagons; at Farmers, about
90: at Piedmont, about IS; at Orinoco,
about 60. The estimated number of
pounds at each warehouse is as fol-
lows: Browns, $4,000: Farmers, 40,
900; Piedmont, 10000: Orinoco, 80, 600.
In regard to prices various opinions
are expressed. The farmers say they
are low, while the buyers all say that
considering the grade of goods offered
prices are very good. Very little, OF
no fine tobacco has been marketed
yet.
An old dealer remarked recently
that the farmers were expecting
too much for the leaf they are now
selling. ''It appears that they want
as much for Tugs as they could get fol
wrappers" continued the dealer. CAL

More About the Line From that City
to Europe.
THE SENTINEL the other day pub
lished a special press dispatch giving
| the infol nation that Wilmington
was to have line of steamers to as
sist in Hugusta's export of cotton.
In this connection the Augusta Chr on
icle says:
"More transatlantic facilities for
the cotton shippers Of Augusta are in
sight.
''Mr. w. G. Hilton, agent for Bar
| Der & Company, the great ship own
ers, of New York, wSS in Augusta
Saturday consulting with the cotton
shippers on the prospects of establish
ing line of steamers from the har-
Dor of Wilmington, N. c., to the
European ports of Liverpool, Bremen
or Harvre.
Barber & Company are among the
biggest and most reliable ship owners
IL the country, and are now running
steamers to and from all the big ports
of ,the world. They have made an
agreement with the Sea board Air Line
whereby freight rates from Augusta
to Wilmington, n. c., will be the
|

"Mr. Hilton, in company with Mr..
| Charles Heard, agent for the Seaboard
| Air Line, interviewed the prominent
cotton shippers and they have given
| every assurance of cooperation. 1t
was his desire to secure about two
| thousand bales for export and put on
| a steamer at once, but in the present
| condition of the market the prospects
| line will take place Immediately after
| the holidays. The stock of cotton in
| Augusta is over 10000 bales and the
| estimated receipts for the rest
| of the year are about $4,000 bales
| in view as a basis on which to calcu-
| late. Mr.. Hilton feels very much en-
couraged and looks forward to the
steady employment of d line of steam
ers between Wilmington and European
ports. He is not depending on cotton
| alone, however, as his company pro-
| poses to make a bid through the aid of
the railroad for Western freight, much
of which it is possible may come
| through Augusta.
| ''Neighboring cotton markets will
| be able to take advantage of this new
| line as Athens and other cities will be
| given the same ;rates to Wilmington
| that they now have to Charleston and
| Savannah.
| Augusta will in this way become
! the central point of operations. With
| the Seaboard agency here the sur
rounding country will ship through
Augusta to feed the line of steam
| erS.
1.-THE value of this new enterprise
| to Augusta is apparent. AS cotton
market the city will increase in i'm
portance and will become one of the
largest COMPRISING points in the
country.
J with ggood prices and superior
! facilities for shipping, Augusta prom
| ises to climb still higher in the
| list of the cotton markets of the
| world"

WALTER FUTILE ARRESTED.
The Office Had to Knock Him Down
Before he Gave Up

Walter futile, Winston negro
who is somewhat of a desperate, and
who has been at large for several
months, was captured December 18th
by Deputy Sheriff J. E. Ziglar.
Tettle has been a fugitive from
Justice ever since he recovered from
his injuries sustained after being cut
in an affray by Farmer Nelson at the
Piedmont warehouse. 1t will be re
membered that Tuttle, as a second to
Bob Wiley, white, went to the ware
house and raised row with the far
mer. The latter drew his knife and
cut futile and Willeyup badly. Their
injuries, it was thought for several
days, would prove fatal. Both, how
ever, recovered.
Sheriff Macarthur learned few
days ago that Tuttle was in Stokes
county He advised Deputy Ziglar of
his whereabouts and the latter went
in pursuit of him. He 1ound futile
at GermantOn.
The officer had heard of Tuttle's
threats which were to the effect that
he would die before being arrested.
MI. Ziglar was prepared for any
trouble that might arise. When he
saw futile he told him his business,
but the negro SAID mo" ana proceeded
to resist arrest. After being knocked
down once, however, he realized that
the officer was man who meant bust
ness. He thereupon surrendered him
self and came on to Winston where he
was locked up in the county jail.
Acting Solicitor Glenn referred
the case to Judge McIver. He
spoke of futile as being one of
the most dangerous characters in the
State, and that there were now three
charges against him for assault and
battery. The Judge enquired as to
the nature OF the charges when Mr..
Glenn replied that they were for cut
ting ScrapeS.
Judge Mclver ordered the clerk of
the court to bind futile over to the
next term in justifiable bond of $500.
This means that the prisoner will
make his home in Jail until his trial
comes off.

soft way, caused the negroes to smile
on both sides of their mouths.
We are glad to see Johnny Swice-

came near having a serious accident
on last Saturday. While driving with
some speed his buggy struck stump
