Several eminent physicians have given

Dr. a. N. BeXL, Editor American Sanitarian, says: "I find
it difficult to conceive of any other place which so eminently
comprehends all of the most desirable conditions for the estab-
lishment of a WINTER HEALTH RESORT."
Dr. W. C. Wile, Editor New England Medical Monthly

Dr. Wm. F. Waugh, until recently editor of the Medica.

How to IrLcach Southern Pines.
Southern Pines is located on the Seaboard Air Line, in North
Carolina. It is comparatively a new place, and should agents
of railway lines not be able to give the proper directions, notify
l\Ir. T. J. Anderson, General Passenger xA.gent Seaboard Air Line,
Portsmouth, Va. All coupon ticket offices in the Northern,
New England and Northwestern States are directed by their
General Agents to sell winter excursion tickets to Southern
Pines. If they refuse to sell tickets and check baggage through,
(notify Mr. Anderson.
NEAR SOUTHERN PINES, N. C.
Eminent Physicians Endorse Southern Pines:
Hozcard J 'a// Re/isst'lcar, Ph. D., M. D., Editor Medical Annals. —
" Particular] }• valuable for those persons who are run down in health,
and especially for those with consuming" tuberci:losis. "
\V. Blair Slczvart, M. D., Instructor in the Philadelphia Medico-Chi-
riirgical College. — "A natural sanitarium; the climate can be highly
recommended; malaria is iinknown."
W. a lViU\ A. A/., M. D.. LL. D., Past Surgeon General G. A. R.-
'' Southern Pines has all the qualifications of a geniiine health resort."
Dr. W. F. Waugh, Medical Writer, of Philadelphia. ~'\Q.o to South-
ern Pines, inhale the aroma of the turpentine all day and all night, and
recover vour health. "
What the Leading Papers say :
-^ ^ -^ *f
New York World, February^ i8q2. — " The air is very dry and
salubrious."
New York Sun, July 6th, i8go. — "The contentment of the
people is found in the fact that some member of about two-thirds
of the families there have been afflicted, and comino^ to this
place have found health. It is probably the most contented lot
of Northern people to be found in the South."
NEAR SOUTHERN PINES, N C.
Baltimore Sicn, February gth, i8gi. — "The enthusiasm with
which all these Northern settlers speak of the climate, the
country and its possibilities, is very striking. As to the bene-
fits to health, there seems to be no manner of doubt. There is
but one expression of opinion on that subject."
Harper'' s Weekly, February 2ist, i8gi. — "Sandy soil and
shadowing pines that give out health and healing whenever the
wind moved their branches. Some one adventurous individual
discovered this and came down from the North, and when he
found himself better wrote to other sufferers, and brought so
many of them to the Pines that there was soon a little colony."
T he North Carolina
College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts
This great State School of Technology was founded
seven years ago, and the rapidity with which it has grown,
and the rank it has taken among the leading institutions
of the country [Harper'' s Magazine^ The Forum and the
Cosmopolite i^ of New York, all bearing unsolicited witness
to its me^^xt), furnish indubitable proof of the excellence
of its worth, and of its value to the State.
It offers to young men thorough courses in general Aca-
demic Studies, Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanical,
Civil and Electrical Engineering, and in Applied Science,
and its instruction is of the most practical character, its
Lecture Rooms, Laboratories, Shops, Barn and Dairy
being well equipped. Its Faculty of Instruction consists of
nineteen men, specially trained for their work. Expenses
are nominal, and many young men have opportunity to
reduce the moderate cost to a still lower figure. This
College is doing a great work for young men, and its
graduates are all well placed.
THE TOTAL COST PER SESSION, INCLUDING BOARD, IS:
To Students holding County Scholarships, $ 91.00
To all other Students, I2I.OO
The Next Session will open September 3d, 1896.

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE
Traverses the Beautiful Piedmont Country of the Carolinas and Georgia, and offers
the Best Facilities of Transit between the Atlantic Ports and the
South, West, Pacific Coast and Mexico.
Pursuing a Wise and Liberal Policy, its Management Seeks the Larger Development
of the Territory on its Lines, which means the addition
of Incalculable Wealth to the South.
Practical Farmers are Especially invited to settle along its Lines. Lands here
combine with Cheapness, Extraordinary Advantages of Soil, Climate,
Water, Timber, Stone and Convenient Markets.
Superadded to the excellent service on its own railway, the Seaboard Air
Line commands the sviperior advantages afforded by a splendid and perfect
system of water communications extending in close connection with its trains
to and from the principal nortliern cities. The magnificent harbor of Norfolk-
Portsmouth is the converging and departing point for scores of the finest
steamers in the -world. The vessels of the larger companies are splendid sea-
going steamships elegantly furnished for the conveyance of passengers, with
stiperior accommodations for the transfer of large cargoes and consignments.
Daily these vessels are moored alongside the numerous wharves of the Sea-
board.
The advantages of such a complete and comprehensive water system work-
ing in harmony with so prompt and reliable a land carrier as the Seaboard
Air Line, are obvious. Fruits, berries, melons, garden truck and perishable
stviff reach their destination in better condition, and will command better
prices than if jolted and pounded by railway transport over the same distance.
The Seaboard Air Line Territory.
Dense groves of pine and hardwood trees, heavily clothed with verdure and
clinging vines, alternate with fields of tobacco, cotton, corn, peas and oats.
The soil, no matter how light or sandy, is notably rich in the elements of
luxuriant vegetation, and two-tliirds of it still open to cultivation.
The Piedmont section, that high, undulating jslateau which separates the
lowlands of the coast from the western or mountain section, shares witli Italy
its characteristic sunny skies and delightful climate. It is watered by several
large rivers, many creeks and innumerable living springs, while the average
rain-fall (from forty to fifty-two inches) is so seasonable and equally dis-
tributed that droughts of serious detriment are unknown.
Cotton, corn, tobacco, fruits and vegetables yield abundant crops in this
territory, but certain portions of it are peculiarly adopted to special forms of
plant life. The trucking lanls around Portsmouth for ten miles out (and it
might be made fift}" miles) ct)nstitute a series of rich vegetable gardens, the
sales from which approximate $8,000,000 annually. The same field here will
produce five crojis in one season. After kale is shipped, cucumbers and peas
are planted in alternate rows. When they are marketed and the vines plowed
under, grass springs up and a crop of hay is gathered, after which fall potatoes
are dropped. The strawberry crop is also early and profitable.
For sixty miles along the road from Wilmington, truck farmers make two
crops of Irish and sweet potatoes, peas, beans, cabbage, tomatoes and peanuts
per year from the same land, the season coming in between that of Florida
and Norfolk. In the vicinity of Raleigh and Charlotte and other cities, as well
as in many flourishing smaller towns, trucking in connection with poultry
raising is very profitable, with future possibilities practically unlimited.
Tobacco and Hop Lands.
The Seaboard Air Line passes through the finest tobacco lands in the
South, on which the most wonderful results have been attained. The heart
of this paradise, producing the famous "golden leaf" (the best and highest
Lvi BRANt^ON'S N. C. DIRECTORY.
priced grade in the word ) is penetrated by the railway lines from Weldon to
Raleigh, with the forty-two mile branch from Henderson to Durham and by
the branch lines to Warrenton and Louisburg.
The }'ield of the " golden leaf and the prices it commands are remarkable.
From ijf^OO to $450 an acre is an average profit. Improved farms have reim-
bursed purchasers their entire cost from the profits of the first season's crop.
Hop growing, a new and important industrj'- in North Carolina, has proved
a success, and is destined to fill a formost place among useful products. Sub-
jected to everj' known test by experienced hop growers, it has been found that
in certain Carolina fields adjacent to the Seaboard Air Line the yield is equal
to that in the west, while it is richer in lupuline and possesses a much finer
aroma than any other American hop. The cost of production is less than one-
half that of New York, and not more than half the cost in the most favored
localities on the Pacific coast. Hop culture has come south to staJ^
This middle section blends the soils of both the eastern and western divis-
ions, and is so diversified that, with its favorable climatic conditions, it offers
the widest range of agricultural possibilities. It is here that the culture of
cotton is largely extended, and coal, building-stone and minerals are found.
Coal abounds, but its mining on a commercial scale has been limited to Egypt,
in Chatham county, where the annual output is 350,000 tons of a quality
superior to the Pocahontas and manj^ other coals.
Cotton Manufacturing.
In North Carolina 149 cotton mills are now in operation, representing 19,000 looms and
756,000 spindles. But these cotton and wool mills, successful as they have proved, are
but the vanguard of what is to follow. The Manufacturers' Record (which is good
authority on all southern interests) declares that " the largest future possibilities for the
profitable development of cotton industries are located in the Piedmont section in the
Carolinas and Georgia, which is tributary to the Seaboard Air Line System." The
territory thus outlined is about 500 miles long by 100 to 150 miles wide, covering an area of
50,000 to 60,000 square miles. Within this circumscribed limit, the Record locates the"future
situs of the cotton manufacturing of the south, and 'that mean' [it adds] so far as human
foresight can predict, the future situs of the cotton manufacturing of the world." Among
the reasons adduced in support of this prediction and belief are: Elevation above sea level;
abundant andcheap water power and coal; a plentiful supply of native American opera-
tives ;cost of labor, because of low cost of living; unsurpassed healthfulness; cotton supply
at hand, and cheap and abundant transportation to the markets of the world."
Fruits and Fruit Lands.
Peaches, pears, plums, apricots, flgs, apples, grapes and berries grow profusely all over
the Carolinas and Georgia. It has been found ,by practical experience, that the elevated
sand-hill region in the long-leaf pine belt between Sanfordand Hamlet, on the Seaboard
Air Line, is a most prolific producer of fruits of various kinds. The peaches, pears,
plums anil grapes of the Niagara and Deleware variety, and blackberries, make large
yields, which are distingusined alike for their size, firm texture and delicious flavor.
Orchards a ud vineyards have been planted at Southern Pines, Manly and Pine Bluff, and
the fruitage! has brought the highest prices from Northern dealers. One farm of 360 acres,
within three miles of Southern Pines, mostly planted in peaches, has returned its owner
this season a profit of S8,063.51 over all expenses. Orchards of less size have done as well
in proportion. The net profits of the grape yield were aLso more than satisfactory. The
first Delaware shipments this season sold in New York at twenty cents a pound. Black
berries produced 3,000 to 5,000 quarts per acre, on which the profit was four to six cents a
quart. The net profit on grapes was five cents per pound. The "scuppernong" grape is
indigenous, and, like a banyan, spreads over an immense area. It is not a table grape,
but the wine from it can hardly be excelled for body and flavor.
Cereals and Grasses, Sanitary Resorts, Etc.
Though cotton, tobacco, garden truck, and (latterly) fruits are the leading money crops.
North Carolina, in proportion to her population, has not lagged in the production of
cereals and grasses. In 1891 the harvest of rye from 13,110 acres was 478,017 bushels; of
hay, 164,525 acres, 228,561 tons; of potatoes, 17,955 acres, 1,113,210 bushels: of wheat, 69o,147
acres, 3,475,72t bushels; of corn, 2,259,663 acres, 22,959,484 oushels, and of oats from .527,892
acres, 5,754,024 bushels. This total will be largely exceeded, in some instances doubled,
In the summarized reports for 1895.
Almost the entire State of North Carolina is one vast sanitarium. Scores of places on
the Seaboard Air Line are welcome resorts to those in starch of rest and recreation.
The odors of the pine forests are balsam for sore lungs. Wild game and flsh In most
localities tempt the sportsman. The summer temperature cooled by ocean breezes
blowing inland, is never excessively hot, and the nights are refreshingly cool. Any ten-
dency to extreme cold in the winter season is .sensibly modified by the Gulf Stream.
The climate is at all seasons exhilarating and soothing, invigorating and mild; a happy
medium between the rigorous Northern winters and the enervating summers of the far
South. Other sanitary accessories are numerous. Mineral springs abound everywhere,
many of them noted far and near for their medicinal efficacy. Southern Pines, by
reason of Its altitude, perfect drainage, sandy soil, pure water and curative ozone, exhaled
frona long leaf pines, is especially favored, both as a resort and permanent abiding place.
Numerous summer visitors go to localities in the western section and find health in its
mountain air, forests and streams. ,. v, i.^

Professor in the Philadelphia Medico-Chirurgical College; Dr.
Geo. Taylor Stewart, of the New York Medical Times, and
Superintendent of Ward's Island Hospital.
Their report as to health resorts gives Southern Pines, N. C,
the lead. Following is an extract from their report:
"For persons whose health requires a mild winter climate.
Southern Pines, because of the dryness of its soil, its elevation
above sea-level, the invigorating quality of its atmosphere and
its accessibility, presents natural advantages that highly com-
mend it to the favorable attention of the medical profession."
Prominent Medical Journals Commend
SoutherQ Pines.
Homeopathic Physician, of Philadelphia, Pa. — "Prominent physicians
have visited the place for investigation, and without a single exception
say it is the best. "
Cincinnati Medical Jo ta'?ia I, Apj'il, 1894. — "Thousands of Northern
invalids have visited the place, and many remarkable cures have been
effected."
The Prescription, April, jSg4. — " Its bound to prove a ]Mecca for people
suffering from pulmonar\' complaints."
Southern Medical World, November, iSgj.—^'A new winter health
resort, * * * the best in the United States."
The Sanitarian, March, iSg4. — '' In soil and climate, Nature seem.s to
have made it an ideal place. The air is dry, balmy, balsamic and ozonic. "
SOUTHERN PlNES-HOME PARLOR.
The Medical Times and Register, March, 18^4 —"As soon as the place
becomes better known, it will prove the most popular health resort m the
country."
New York Polyclinic, March, /<S"97.— "Situated in the centre of the
renowed long-leaf pine belt, famous alike for its elevation, its health-
giving balsamic odors, and its absolute freedom from malaria. There is
absolutely no moisture in the atmosphere. The hotels are first-class and
reasonable in their charges."
Philadelphia Times and Register, September, rS^^.— " Whatever may be
the dangers of infection in the older resorts, there is none at Southern
Pines. "
New England Medical Monthly.—'' One point impressed me at once—
the desire to sleep. It was said by the people who were there for their
health, that the desire for sleep for the first two or three weeks is almost
irresistable. Rest, blessed rest, gives Nature a chance to get in her fine
work."

O
Buncombe County was formed in
1791, from Burke and Rutherford coun-
ties, and derives its name from Col.
Edward Buncombe, of Tyrrell county,
who was Colonel of the Fifth North
Cirolina Regiment in the Continental
Army.
Colonel Buncombe raised a regiment,
fed, clothed and drilled them at his
own expense. He was killed in the
first battle in which he was engaged.
He nor his heirs ever received any pay.
Gen, Vance offered a bill in Congress
to appropriate $3,500 for a monument,
which was refused.
It lies immediately west of the Blue
Ridge, and is the centre of the Trans-
montane section.
AsHEViLLE, the county seat, is on the
French Broad river. It was named in
honor of G )v. Simuel Ashe, of New
Hanover, and was originally called
Morristown. Its elevation is 3,350 feet
above sea- level.
The population is about 13,000, in-
cluding suburbs, and it is one of the
most noted summer and winter resorts
in the S mth.
Asheville is the metropolis of "The
Land of the Sky,"
Surface — Buncombe county is sit-
uated on the west side of the Blue
Ridge, and occupies a beautiful rolling
country down the Swannanoi and
French Broad rivers, which streams
water it finely, and along the valleys
of which are found thousands of acres
of very rich lands. Nearly all the
land in this county is susceptible of
cultivation, as the fine growth of tim-
ber, even on the sides of the moun-
tains, indicates. The scenery is en-
chanting — the air invigorating.
Staples — Corn, wheat, rye, oats and
live stock. Tobacco is now being
grown successfully, and of fine quality.
Fruits — Peaches, apples, pears, grapes,
chestnuts, and nearly every kind of
fruit grown to great perfection.
Timber — Walnut, white pine, oak,
poplar, hickory, ash, maple, cherry,
chestnut and many other kinds of
wood noted in the fine arts.
Minerals— Mica, and other valuable
minerals are found in this county.
Mineral and iron springs abound. The
water-power is unsurpassed.

BRANSON'S NORTH CAROLINA
CARTERET COUNTY.
AREA, 520 SQUARE MILES.
POPULATION. 10.825; White, 8.528; Colored 2,291.
Carteret County was one of the
original precincts of the Lords Propria- 1
tors, and was called in honor of one of
the Lords, Sir George Cartaret. It bor-
ders on the Atlantic Ocean for a dis-
tance of 75 miles, and is so near to the
Gulf Stream as to make the climate
quite equable all the year round.
Beaufort, the county-seat, is on
Beaufort harbor, and is a town of grow-
ing importance. It is a delightful
summer resort, 144 miles east of Ral-
eigh, and has a population of 2,500.
MOREHEAD City, the terminus of the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad, is
a beautiful new city. It has a popula-
tion of 1 ,365, and is a charming sea-
side home.
Surface— 1\ie land is low and level,
much of it in swamps and marshes. It
extends up and down the sound for
seventy miles. A portion of the county
in narrow strips, called The Banks, lies
between the sound and the ocean.
Much of the swamp is very rich, and
very productive when well drained.
Staples— Theie are some very fine
cotton lands in this county. The mois-
ture of the climate has a tendency to
produce a fine, soft fabric. Corn grows
well, and in the western portion, along
the sound, ground-peas are produced to
perfection. Sweet potatoes are raised
in large quantities of superior quality.
The fisheries are extensive and often
very valuable.
The last battle fought in the State
with the Indians was fought in 1713,
within one mile of the present town of
Beaufort. Col. James Moore, of South
Carolina, was in charge of the Colonial
forces. The battle was with the Core
Indians, who inhabited this county.
Fruits— Yigs, apples, peaches, pears,
grapes and melons to great perfection.
Timbers— Live oak, long-leaf pine,
cedar, cypress, ash, gum and juniper.

MARY POTTER MEMORIAL SCHOOL,
OXFORD, N. C.
The object of the School is to prepare colored young men and women for
the practical duties of life by training the hands, heart and head— the hands to
do with might and skill what they find to do, the heart to obey God's law, and
the head to think.
The School is named in honor of the late Mrs. B. F. Potter, of Schenectady,
N. Y., through whose influence the work was started.
The School is under the direct control of the Freedmen's Board, through
whose hands come all donations, or who will be informed of all donations that
come direct to us. It is also under the control of a local Board of Directors
and Advisers.
It is supported by the Freedmen's Board, by personal friends through the
Freedmen's Board, by the students, and by the people of both races here on
^^e field. Rev. G. C. SHAW, A. M., Principai,.

BRANSON'S NORTH CAROLINA
CASWELL COUNTY.
AREA. 400 SQUARE MILES.
POPULATION, 13,028; White 6.639. Colored 6,389.
Caswell County was created in
1777, out of Orange county, and takes
its name from Richard Caswell, the
first Governor of the State under the
Constitution.
Yanceyville, its capital (named in
compliment of Hon Bartlett Yancey),
is 69 miles northwest from Raleigh,
and contains a population of 965.
Swr/ace— Caswell county lies on the
south bank of Dan river, and on small
tributary streams. The surface is mod-
erately uneven, and the soil generally
good, especially for tobacco. There
are probably no finer tobacco lands in
America.
Staples— Tobacco is the great staple
in this county. The leaf grown here
is celebrated far and rear. Wheat.
corn and oats grow finely, but are not
considered so profitable as tobacco.
Fruits— Apple?, peaches, pears, and
all the small fruitp. melons.
Timbers —Oak, hickory, walnut, pop-
lar, pine and various other kinds com-
mon to the middle part of the State.

GENERAL PRINTERS,
HICKORY, N. C.
The Press and Carolinian is bright, crisp, breezy
and pungent. Is a thoroughbred Democratic newspaper,
published every Thursday. It is read by the people —
also by the other side.
Hickory is a looming — not booming — young city, and
is a competitive point, and the nucleus of nine counties.
Think of it ! Pretty good for a weekly newspaper of any
sort of " git up and git."
Aftvertisii Rates Very Reasoiialile for the Senrice !
This newspaper has a vein, or streak of humor permeat-
ing its interior, which has to be appreciated to be acknowl-
edged. It always trusts to the public to see the point.
They know as much about it as we do. Try a sample
copy. Write for it.

POPULATION, 18.689; White 16,073, Colored 2,616.
Catawba County was cut off from

on the Western North Carolina Kail-
road, and is 178 miles west of Raleigh.
Population 1,656.
Surface— This county is situated in
the bend of the Catawba river, which
makes a curve around the north and
east sides. The land is moderately un-
even, and most of it quite productive;
it is well watered, and plenty of water-
power for immense macninery. Cataw-
ba is a prosperous county, out of debt,
taxes low, and money in the treasury
—a desirable place to settle. The cele-
brated Sparkling Catawba Springs are
in this county.
Staples— Corn, cotton and wheat are
the great staples, and large quantities
are 8hipp<?d to other counties. Irish
potatoes and grass are grown with suc-
cess. Live stock is profitable. This is
among the best wheat growing coun-
ties in the State.
Fruits — Peaches, apples, pears, ber-
ries, grapes, plums.
Timbers— Bldick walnut, poplar, ash,
gum, hickory, chestnut, wild cherry,
elm and all the oaks.
Minerals— Iron, gold and alum are
found in this countv.

BRANSON'S NORTH CAROLINA
CHATHAM COUNTY.
AREA. 800 SQUARE MILES.
POPULATION, 25,413, WHITE,J7,2l4 ; COLORED, 8,799.
CHA.THAM County was organized in
the year 1770, and named after the eel
ebrated English statesman, William
Pitt, Earl of Chatham.
PiTTSBORO, the county seat, is 33
miles southvpest of Raleigh. Popula-
tiorr, 588.
Sur/ace— This county is undulating,
some parts almost approaching moun-
tainous. The uplands are susceptible
of a high state of cultivation. The
valleys along the streams are rich.
Staples— Com, cotton, wheat, oats,
rye, tobacco, potatoes, peas, grasses and
nearly every kind of vegetable, and
large quantities of butter, chickens
and eggs.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, pears,
plums, apricots, melons and berries.
Timbers— Odk, hickory, pine, gum
and ash.
Water-power— Th^x^ is an abundant
water-power. Haw river enters the
county at its northwestern boundary,
an 1 passes diagonally across, affording
at almost every mile the finest water-
power in the State. Deep river, run-
ning through the western and south-
ern portions of the county, and Rocky
river through the centre, afford a series
of water-powers unsurpassed. In fact,
it is believed that the water-power of
Chatham county is superior to that of
the whole State of Connecticut.
