Writes From Greensboro, One Of
AIabamas Oldest Towns,
IS AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER
Home of Many old Families, Younger
Representatives of Whom Must
Leave On Account of the
Agricultural System.
BY NED BRACE.

I spent several hours in Greensboro the
other day and was much interested. It Is
one of the Oldest of Alabama towns. 1t
contains handsome residences and has
furnished many good people to Brming
ham and the more progressive centers of
Alabama. 1t Is beautiful residence city
and is somewhat of an educational center
1t is the home of many old families of
Alabama. Many of the younger represen-
tatives of the families, however, must
leave 1t because of the system which pre-
walls in this great agricultural center
The wealthy land owners, known as
planters, lease their lands to tenants, who
farm them. AS a consequence the sons of
planters have nothing to do except to
practice law or become merchants, and
already there are sufficient merchants in
Greensboro to do the business.
But Greensboro, which has a popula-
tion Of about $500, is up-to-date in many
respects. 1t has good ebert streets, or,
better, roads, because the town is not
laid Off with any degree of regularity
1t has a good water works system which
is supplied from artesian wells and an
electric light plant and other modern con-
veniences. The town Is a trading center
for the rich territory within a radius of
twenty miles 1t is the oldest prohibition
town IN Alabama. No liquor has been le-
gally sold here since 1856 Indeed, when
the charter for the Southern University.
a Methodist institution, was granted by
the Legislature in 1856 1t was provided in
the charter that no liquor should be sold
in the town of Greensboro. This univer-
sity is still In existence and is a widely
known institution.
About Greensboro, like many other Sec
tions of the black belt territory, there are
m any artesian wells. These wells have
made South Alabama healthy and pros
porous. They supply the purest of pure
waters, and in many instances these wells
are used to mechanical advantages. In
deed, there is a well on the plantation
of Colonel W. c. Tunstall near Green's
boro, which flows such a volume of wa
ter that it operates a turbine wheel which
furnishes the power for a grist mill,
cotton press and a ginnery. The well
spouts with such force that a silver dollar
dropped into it will be thrown out by the
force of the water.
Mr.. Blackman, the AgeHerald artist,
who accompanied me to Greensboro, got
some we'll known types of the town on
the street One can readily recognize the
characteristic pose of Mr.. ALT Tunstall,
