COL. CUNNINGHAM ADDRESS.
Col S. Cunningham was happily
introduced by Mr.. G. A. Follin. The
Colonel opened his speech with an
allusiOn to our town and section. Said
he: | am pleased to again have the
pleasure of coming to Winston Sale m,
the huSpitable home Of gallant mel,
fair women, God bless them. the home
of that gallant ex-Confederate soldier,
that estimable gentleman aud patri
Otto citizen OF our commonwealth. the
Hon. Cyrus B. Watson. Here zeal,
enterprise, and public spirit give the
world an example OF prosperity,
wrought by cooperation, under direc-
tion of master minds. Here we be-
hold a community pressing forward
to attain splendid aims, and to realize
legitimate and patriotic ambitions,
and accomplishing their honorable
purposes by working together in har-
mnnV.
Your pluck and energy have built
these resources, cotton and tobacco
factories, beautiful residences and
handsome churches You show your
faith in your home by spending your
money here, which is the best evi
deuce of your belief that a still bright
er future is in store for your city,
which has won the meriLed appelatiOn
OF being called the "Metropolis of the
Piedmont belt" The husbandmen,
who come from the mountains and
the plains, have contributed their
share towards the upbuilding OF this
tobacco market, and giving you the
worldwide reputation which yea
enjoy" He then iwelt upon the
theoIy OF NoItherB Immigration the
hope OF progressive South, saying
the incoming tide has begun to rise.
Every train brings manufacturers
seeking to establish themselves or
their sons near the raw material and
in this growing market. Let the
EfullneSs OF the tide roll in.
The Colonel is the greatest tobacco
farmer in the State and he gave snme
mag nitfcent advice to tobacco farmers
"a farmer" SAID he, "mus5 have
great push and energy. for without it
no good result can be attained. Econ
| Omy upon the farm is one Of the OBJ
jects which every man engaged in
agriculture should carefully study and
consider for without it nothing but a
sad failure will ensue Habits of or
der, punctuality. industry, self gov
ernment, should all be assiduOuSly
| cultivated Fortunately nature works
for US while we are trying to help our
selves. and what at first required la
borious eff rts, needs but the slight
impulse of the will to make the act
almost automatic The honor roll Of
every State furnishes thousand eX-
amples Of the rise of lads from the
farm house to the highest posts of
honor. The farmer who looks for a
good harvest and expects his lands TO
respond and to yield remunerative
| crops, when he robs the land of every
| tn ing, who does not rotate his crops,
or put something back upon the land,
| will sooner or later learn that such
| cultivation will not bring profitable
results"
Tnen the Colonel gave some statis-
tics as to the money earning capacity
| OF Southern lands. The speaker then
| concluded:
Let the history of the Auglo-Saxon
| race be our inspiration to US to press
forward with all Of our might to the
goal of our mbiJlon The scholars,
| poets, heroes, statesmen furnished by
our State and nation are proud heri
| tage to those who are living today.
Let US initiate their noble virtues,
| and strive to add lustre to what they
have done in their day and genera
| tiOn.
