Winston-Salem produces one-seventl

that it would take a string of cottor
mills thirty-eight miles long to YIELD
in value the output of that many cot
ton mills equal to the tobacco industry
of Winston-Salem. The United States
received from the city last year in in
ternal revenue ST., 00O,861.98.
1t is city of diversified industries
and the largest manufacture & plant
of finest knit goods in the South. 1t
has a large manufacture of wagons,
machinery and harness. In social con-
ditions, Winston-Salem believes in
home ownership and home life by a
democratic, substantial and self-re-
sepcting people, with avoidance of
extravagant display
One of the finest hotels in the coun-
try is the Zinzendorf, a worthy monu-
ment to the pioneer of the Moravian
sect. Winston-Salem was established
because Salem did not want a court
house. They were willing to leave all
disputes to the elders of the church,
and finally the Moravians were in
duced to sell fifty acres of it's large
grant of land just north of Salem and
the town of Winston was named in
honor of Major Joseph Winston,
hero Of revolutionary fame. These

two cities became consolidated in
May, 1918, but prior to their CONSOLE
dation, by vote Of the people, they
were known throughout the world as
Winston-Salem.
Lexington
Lexington was formerly in Rowan
county, but, in 1922, Davidson county
was formed out of Rowan county and
Lexington became the county seat
Davidson county is separated from
Rowan county by the Yadkin river, a
stream of national reputation, for, in
crossing the Yadkin river, General
Greene showed Lord CORVALLIS a bit
Of strategy that led that distinguished
English commander to his doom and
final surrender at Yorktown. Yadkin
College, school of no mean reputa-
ton, is located on this river.
Lexington is an old town and more
like the old towns of Massachusetts
and Connecticut than are other North
Carolina towns visited by the writer.
The people are slow, plodding, but
and frugal in their habits.

Winston Salem
This is one of the best cities OF
North Carolina, originally two cities
which have been joined hand and
heart and whose sign is an arrow
piercing both names. This is the
county seat for the county of Forsyth,
a county that was carved out of Gull
ford county. This city is reached by
the Southern railroad, Norfolk and
Western railways, and the Winston
Salem South-bound railroad. It's ship
ping facilities are unsurpassed. The
county of Forsyth is very much
like Upton county in topography, but
Winston-Salem is an old city founded
over two centuries ago by band of
Moravians, who had received a grant
from the English government, and
their leader was Count Zinzendorf
These Moravians were fleeing from
religious persecution from Bohemia,
and Count Zinzendorf secured for
them this little colony of $4,000 acres
of land, and the town of Salem was
founded where you see the quaint
houses built on the Dutch style with
the rooms or porches extending out
over the sidewalks, and possibly
house will be built on hill side and
the family can walk out of the second
story into the back yard or garden,
and as you pass along the sidewalks
you walk underneath the rooms or
porches like you do in the cities of the
far East.
The Moravians built the churches
and schools of Salem, and they have
one academy or college established in
1902, which has graduated $4,000 stu
dents and now has an enrolment of
500 students. Students from every
State in the Union attend this college
or academy. Connected with the lead
ing Moravian churches is its burying
ground, and no matter where Mora
Wan dies his friends and loved ones
will strain many points and undergo
many sacrifice to see the body of
the deceased return to Salem for bur
ial. The MoravianS were the first to
send missionaries to the Indians in
what is now Oklahoma, but then just
the far unknown west frontier. A true
story is told in connection with the
history of these people that this Mo-
ravian church sent missionary and
his family to the far west frontier,
and while performing this Christian
duty, son of the missionary died,
and in crude way this old man en-
balmed the body, placed it in box, as
he could not purchase casket or cof- I
nm, and drove across this wild terri
tory of Arkansas and Tennessee back
to Salem in a wagon that he might
have performed the last sad rites to
his dead child.
Winston-Salem as a commercial
city has a wonderful record and turns
out S60,000,000 of yearly finished pro-
ducts and has $3O,00,000 invested in
factories. It is the greatest tobacco
market or manufacturing point in the
world. Two years ago Winston-Salem
was the recipient OF a new postofice
from Uncle Sam, which cost $3.50, 900. /
The United States government, within
seven days from the day the work was
started on the handsome building, re-
ceived the cost Of the building in to-
