known as one of the strongest men
in the Senate in a running debate
Northern Mems Success in the South.
1t has been said that few North
ern mon going South have succeed
cd in business, but that is evidently
a great mistake. for recently we
saw where Mr.. Julius Lewis of the
city of R1leigh. N c., was un1ni.
ously elected by the Democrats to
the position of chairman of the
county Board of Control, which is
the board having cont rot of the en-
tire of the entire business of the
county in which is the capital of the
State The local paper, the Raleigh
Daily News & Observer, of that city,
referring to the election, said: "Mr.
Lewis came South some few years
ago and has made fortune in the
mercantile and manufacturing bust
ness. He served through the war
of 1861 to 1865 in the Union Army" "

Northern men and women. Here
we see large hotels that accommo-

thousands of acres of fruit trees and
vines, from which annually, millions
of pounds of fruit is gathered and
sent to the Northern markets.
The interest in this is so great that
when a train passes through the
town the passengers crowd the plat

If you will go into the Seaboard

dow of the Old Dominion Steamship
Co., which represents the most pop
ular line leading into the South you
will find that many tickets are being
sold to the Yankee town down in
Dixie land.
The Northern psople have literal
ly made that section of the South
blossom as a rose. They have pur-
chased in that territory more than a
hundred thousand acres of land and
it is being rapidly brought into cul-
tivatioD. When they first came

cents an acre to-day some of 1t is
selling at hundred dollars an acre.
The success OF Southern Pines has

Hampshire people, Roseland by
Massachusetts settlers, Pinehursi

James w. Tufts, manufactures OF
soda water apparatus, and last not

business men known as the New

body of land was bought at low pri

farms of fourteen acres which arr
