A BEsines Place,

Though not so old Red Springs had
developed wonderfully as a business
centre and new industries are expected
to be added to those already here. 1t
is a place that has not gone to sleep,
and there are constant proofs of this.
Lumbering is an industry here, and
apart from farming this is the back
bone of Red Springs prosperity In
this business several fortunes have

was erected, and the fame of the place
and of its springs extending the hotel
was thrOnged with visitors and Red
Springs attractions being known, the
place grew rapidly.
Soon after the erection of the hotel.
the place was chosen for the Baptist
Sunday School Chatauqua and great
crowds gathered there for several days
each year. The reputation of the place
continued to spread, and the Ministers
and DeacOns meetings of the Presby-
terians still further acquainted many
people with the ideal situation of the
town and the merits of its water. How,
then, could it help growing?
Red Springs continues to become
more and more popular with tourists,
an in its we'll appointed hotels these
are elegantly accommodated. Here one
sees forests of magnificent oaks and
hickorys on the grounds of Hotel

Health for All.
There is an abundance OF health TO
be had in the delightful climate of Red
Springs and its surrounding country
this being similar TO that OF Southern
Pines, the noted health resort OF Moore
county. The country is in the long
leaf pine district, and bronchial and
pulmonary diseases are unknown In
this favored locality For this reason
it offers special advantages to those
who have pulmonary troubles, for the
breathing of its balDy air, laden with
the fragrance from these pines comes
as a lfe-healing remedy for all dis
eases of the throat and lungs. The
winter climate is particular mild, this
giving opportunity for all kinds of out
door exercises during this season of
the year when places towards the
North are locked in ice and snow.

There will be festivities of all kinds

crowd gathers each day there will be
the joys of picnic dinners and barbe-
cues. The trains will bring their con-
tingent of visitors, and each road that
leads into Red Springs will be filled
with vehicles, riders on horseback
and pedestrians, all Robson county

Red Springs For The Meeting.
Red Springs is the place of meeting,
and it is a town worth knowing about,
a town of which its citizens are proud,
as indeed they have a right to be- The
truth is that besides these, the people
of all RobeSon are proud of Red
Springs and of it's progress and
achievements, for it is a town which
has been built up largely by the eff
forts of its home-folks. The place, as
its name at once indicates, is famous
as a health resort, claiming as it does
its name from the springs that are
situated there, the waters of which
possess merit. Here while Red Springs
was merely a beginning, large hotel

Ry EDWARD e. BRITTON.

In Robson county, North Carolina,
in q community noted for its heaithful-
ness, social refinement and literary
culture. as we'll as for its business and
agricultural back grounds, is the town
of Red Springs, on the Atlantic ana
Yadkin division of the Atlantic Coast
Line in easy driving distance of the
main line of that road and of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway.
The reason for a reference to this
place and an article concerning 1T, is
that this week it is to be the scene of
a great gathering, one upon which the
State has fixed its eyes and one which
will prove to be reG-letter event IN
the history of Robson county. The
dates for this great event are August
21-26. =
This is the ''Home-Coning Week
for Robesonians, and while the actual
days of celebration are from Tuesday
morning to Saturday yet in the coming
of visitors and in their departure the
entire week will be spent, and on next
Sunday there will gather in the houses
of worship in Red Springs goodiy
company of it's sons and daughters,
dispersed abroad, but now gathered
once again near to the spot where at
their native hearth-stones they once
watched the fires flash. Special low
rates are to be had over all the rail-
roads for this event.
The program for the week is one
filed with good things and there is no
doubt that the performance Will be
even better than the promise. An ex-
animation of this program will show
that some of the States most emin-
cnt citizens. among these the Govern
or. distinguished educators able law
yers, alert editors. prominent states
men and Robeson's sons who have won
fame in other States. will take part.
But there is something better than
this, and that is the splendid hospi-
tality which the people of Red Springs
and of Robson county will extend 10
all who will come within the bounds
of that progressive town this week, be-
ginning the twenty-first OF August and
ending on the twenty-fifth.
The Program For The Week

been made and many citizens of the
town are interested in the industry.
The chief enterprise of this kind is
conducted by the Messrs. Williams,
who have notalone made fortune
for themselves, but they are constant
in good works adding to the general
prosperity of the town.
There is a bank to look after the
financial interests, and this Bank of
Red Springs was organized in 1900,
and is in it's fifth year. It's success IS
shown by the fact that in its second
year the stockholders realized eight
per cent the third year fourteen per
cent, the fourth year eighteen per
cent. 1t is legaliZed as q depository
for North Carolina and no investment
is made in bonds, stocks or other Sc
curities for speculation. It's deposit
tors are secured, every officer is bond
ed. fire and burglar insurance is car
red, there is a fire proof vault, fire
and burglar proof safe. The officers
are A. b. Pearsall, President; A. t.
McCallum, Vice-President; j. S. Jones'
Cashier: w. A. Jones, Teller. Can you
find bank anywhere with a better
record?
There is no lack of business here,
for there are twenty-five firms engaged
in tr ,nsacting the business that is be-
ing done and that is increasing. More
is to be done for there are now in the
course of construction eleven brick
stores. That looks like progres, does
it not?
The fact is, Red Springs is in a
new business era and the people are
wide awake. New life is at work in
all lines of industry and there is no
letting up, the watchword being "On-
ward" and this is the keystone of the
success that has come.
Has an Able Newspaper.
Among the potnent influences that
is building up Red Springs is its news
paper. There is no use here to talk
about the value of a newspaper to a
town, for that is a subject past dis
cussion. The paper that is helping to
"do things for the place is '"The Red
Springs Citizen" a weekly paper with
large circulation at home and
abroad The sole owner, editor and
proprietor of it is an able man, Mr..
