SEABOARD  AIR  LINE. 


The  University     resort,  for  some  years  past^  have 

North  Carolina   ons  sufferino^  from  almost  every 

B%^  zt  mankind  is  subject  to.     Ma7iy 

^j   Jr^^rr.  r^ave  obtaifieci  the  relief  they  were 

EmS^^^OTfe^fe^P^^  ^^^"^y  "i^emarkable  cures  have 
been  effected. 

Several  eminent  physicians  have  given 
it  as  their  opinion  that  this  place  is  the 
nwst  desirable  location  for  invalids  lit  the 
'  States. 


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 
and  Past  Surgeon  General  G.  A.  R.,  says:  "Southern  Pine: 
has  all  the  qualifications  of  a  genuine  health  resort.'' 

Dr.  Wm.  F.  Waugh,  until  recently  editor  of  the  Medica. 
Times  and  Register^  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  in  advice  to  con- 
sumptives, says:  "Go  to  Southern  Pines  ;  inhale  the  aroma  0:1 
the  turpentine  all  day  and  all  night  ;  recover  your  health;  stay 

there  and  keep  it."

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." 


The  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.

WHY  HOT  BE 
UP-TO-DATE? 


The  Modern  Traveler  requires  and  demands  modern  methods  of  transpor- 
tation.    In  the  old  stage-coach  days  traveling  was  oftener  a  stern 
duty,  to  be  avoided  if  possible,  than  a  pleasure. 

But  the  advance  of  civilization,  with  its 
rock-ballasted  road-bed,  its  heavy  steel 
rails  and  iron  and  steel  bridges,  its  superb 
equipment, — comfortable  coaches  and 
most  luxurious  Pullman  Palace  Sleeping 
Cars,— all  of  which  are  to  be  found  on

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.^

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."

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."

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

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."

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.

CATAWBA  COUNTY. 

AREA  440  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,  18.689;  White  16,073,  Colored  2,616. 


Catawba  County  was  cut  off  from 
Lincoln  county  in  1843,  and  takes  its 
name  from  the  beautiful  river  which 
forms  its  northern  boundary. 

Newton,  the  county-seat,  is  directly 
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.

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.

BRANSON'S  NORTH  CAROLINA 


GRAVEN  COUNTY. 

AREA.  900  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,  20,533;  White  7.175,  Colored  13.358. 


Craven  County  was  one  of  the 
original  precincts  of  the  Lord's  Pro 
prietors,  and  derives  its  name  from 
William,  Earl  of  Craven,  to  whom, 
with  others,  the  charter  was  granted 
by  Charles  II. 

Newbern,  the  county- seat,  is  named 
after  Bern,  in  Switzerland,  and  is  one 
of  the  oldest  towns  in  the  State;  loca- 
ted at  the  junction  of  Neuse  and  Trent 
rivers,  110  miles  east  of  Raleigh.  Pop 
ulation,  estimated,  9,000. 

Surface.— This  county  is  level.  It  is 
traversed  by  the  Neuse  river,  running 
from  northwest  to  southeast.  On  both 
sides  of  the  river  there  is  much  bottom 
land  that  produces  heavy  crops  when 
well  drained.  The  advantages  of  water 
transportation  are  very  fine. 

Staples— Cot\oi\  and  corn  are  the 
great  staples.  Shingles  and  lumber 
are  manufactured  profitably.  Naval 
stores  and  fish  are  items  of  very  con- 
siderable profit.  Newbern  is  one  of 
the  finest  fish  markets  in  the  State. 
Truck-farming,  of  late  years,  has  be 
come  extensive  and  profitable. 

Frmfs.— Apples,  peaches,  pears,  ap- 
ricots, nectarines,  figs,  melons,  and 
nearly  every  species  of  small  fruit. 

Tmbers.— Pme,cypress,poplar,gum, 
live  oak,  white  oak,  etc.

CUMBERLAND  COUNTY. 

AREA.  900  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,    27,293,   WHITE.    14.952;  COLORED,    12.341. 


Cumberland  County  was  formed  in 
the  year  1754  from  the  upper  part  of 
Bliden.  It  derives  its  name  from  the 
Duke  of  Cumberland,  a  popular  and 
brave  officer,  at  that  time,  in  England. 

Fayetteville,  the  county-seat,  was 
settled  in  1762,  and  was  at  first  called 
Campbelltown,  afterwards  Cross  Creek, 
and  in  1784  its  nmie  was  changed  to 
Fayetteville,  in  honor  of  General  La 
fa -eite.  Fayetteville  is  located  on  the 
Cape  Fear  river;  it  is  sixty  miles  west 
of  south  from  Raleigh,  and  contains  a 
population  of  8,000. 

Surface — Cumberland  is  situated  on 
the  Cape  Fear  river  and  tributaries; 
land  generally  level,  a  d  much  of  it 
quite  productive  when  well  drained — 
especially  so  along  the  streams. 

Staples  —  Cotton  and  corn  are  the 
leading  staples.  Naval  stores  are  still 
pr  iduced,  but  not  as  extensively  as 
formerly,  though  still  a  source  of  con- 
siderable income  to  the  county. 

Fruits — Pears,  apples,  peaches,  apri- 
cos,  grapes  (the  Tokay  vineyards  are 
in  this  county),  all  the  small  fruits  and 
melons  equal  to  any,  perhaps,  grown 
in  the  State. 

Timbers — Pine  in  abundance,  oak, 
gum,  hickory,  cypress,  etc.

BRANSON'S  NORTH  CAROLINA 


CURRITUCK  COUNTY. 

AREA.  200  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,  6,747;    White  4,731,  Colored  2,016. 


Currituck  County  was  one  of  the 
early  precincts  of  the  State,  in  1729, 
when  the  Lords  Proprietors  surrend- 
ered their  rights  to  the  English  Crown. 
It  derives  its  name  from  a  tribe  of  In- 
dians who  once  inhabited  and  owned 
the  county.  It  is  situated  in  the  ex- 
treme northeastern  portion  of  the  State, 
and  is  bounded  on  the  north  by  the 
Virginia  line,  east  by  the  Atlantic 
Ocean,  south  by  the  Albemarle  Sound, 
and  west  by  Camden  county.  The 
county,  especially  on  Currituck  Sound, 
is  well  adapted  for  truck-raising. 
Melons  can  be  successfully  grown 
from  four  miles  above  the  court 
house  to  Powell's  Point — a  distance 
of  thirty-four  miles.  The  fishing  and 
ducking  interests,  from  November 
until  March,  is  a  source  of  consid- 
erable revenue  to  the  thirty  four  miles 
of  territory  above  named,  including  the 
islands  and  beach.  With  the  Albe- 
marle and  Chesapeake  Canal  and  the 
N.  S.  Railroad,  her  shipping  facilities 
are  good;  on  the  i*oad  her  trucks,  etc., 
can  leave  this  evening  and  be  in  New 
York  to-morrow  morning.  Moyock  is 
quite  a  thriving  little  village  on  the  N. 
S.  Railroad. 

Currituck  Court  House,  the  county 
seat,  is  beautifully  located  on  Curri- 
tuck Sound,  and  is  242  miles  northeast 
from  Raleigh.  Population,  including 
township,  2,000. 

Surface. — Low  and  level,  soil  rich. 
The  navigation  advantages  are  very 
good. 

Staples. —  Cotton,  corn,  and  fish. 
Trucking  for  the  nordiern  markets  is 
extensively  engaged  in.  Large  quan- 
tities of  live  fowl  are  killed  during  the 
winter  months,  and  find  a  ready  sale 
at  Norfolk  and  points  farther  north. 

Fruits. — Apples,  peaches,  pears,  ber- 
ries, melons  and  grapes  in  great  profu- 
sion. 

Timbers, — Pine,  cypress,  juniper  and 
gum.

BRANSON'S  NORTH  CAROLINA 


DARE  COUNTY. 

AREA   160  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION:  3,768;  White  3,362  ;  Colored  406. 


Dare  County  was  organized  in  1870 
from  Tyrrell,  Hyde  and  Currituck,  and 
was  named  in  honor  of  Virginia  Dare, 
the  first  white  child  born  on  the  Amer- 
ican Continent  after  its  discovery  by 
Columbus. 

Manteo,  the  county-seat,  is  250  miles 
northeast  from  Raleigh,  and  derives  its 
name  from  the  chief  of  an  Indian  tribe 
that  formerly  occupied  that  portion  of 
the  State.    Population  of  the  town,  175. 

Surface. — Dare  county  embraces  a 
small  area  of  high  land,  and  large  bod- 
ies of  swamp  at  d  marsb.  The  surface 
is  cut  up  by  extensive  collections  of 
water,  hence  the  principal  occupation 
of  the  people  is  that  of  fishing. 

Nag's  Head  on  the  east  shore  is  a 
noted  summer  resort.  Education  and 
enterprise  would  make  thia  one  of  the 
finett  counties  m  the  State.  It  is  noted 
for  its  sea  breezes  and  htalthfulness. 
The  first  English  settlement  was  made 
here  in  1584.  Virginia  Dare,  the  first 
white  child  born  on  this  Contment, 
first  saw  the  light  of  day  lu  this  county, 
hence  the  name;  and  the  first  religious 
services  of  this  country  were  performed 
on  the  banks  of  Roanoke  Sound. 

Staples. — Fish  form  the  great  staple 
of  this  county.  The  product  of  this 
item  is  estimated  at  over  two  hundrtd 
thousand  dollars  per  annum.  Rogers 
&  Etheridge  alone  did  a  business  of 
some  seventy- five  thousand  dollars  in 
one  year.  Corn,  sweet  potatoes  and 
scuppernong  gi  apes  grow  finely.  This 
is  the  native  home  of  the  scuppernong. 

Timbers. — Cypress,  juniper,  gum, 
water  oak,  live  oak  and  others. 

JVttifs.  — Figs,  apples,  peaches,  cran- 
berries and  other  small  fruits.

Forsyth  County  was  formed  in 
1848,  from  Stokes  county,  and  was 
named  in  honor  of  Colonel  Benjamin 
Forsyth,  of  Germanton,  Stokes  Co. 

Winston  is  the  county-seat.  Popula- 
tion (estimated)  13,500. 

Salem,  settled  by  the  Moravians  over 
one  hundred  years  ago,  and  adjoining 
Winston  contains  a  population  esti- 
mated at  5,500. 

jSrtr/ace— Moderately  hilly,  and  wa- 
tered by  many  small  streams.  Much 
of  the  soil  is  good  and  susceptible  of  a 
high  state  of  cultivation. 

Staples — Corn,  wheat,  oats  and  dried 
fruit.  Tobacco  has  recently  become 
one  of  the  leading  crops,  and  the  large 
number  of  tobacco  factories  and  ware 
houses  in  Winston  has  given  an  impe- 
tus to  the  culture  of  tobacco  in  the 
county  almost  unprecedented.  Forsyth 
is  one  of  the  finest  fruit-growing  coun- 
ties in  the  State. 

The  Fruits  of  this  county  are  apples, 
peaches,  pears,  apricots,  nectarines, 
cherries,  plums  and  the  small  fruits. 
The  export  of  dried  blackberries  from 
this  county  is  immense. 

Timbers  of  this  county  consist  of 
oak,  hickory,  poplar,  walnut,  pine, 
chestnut,  and  other  kinds  common  to 
the  Piedmont  counties  of  the  State.

BRANSON'S  NORTH  CAROLINA 


FRANKLIN  COUNTY. 

AREA  420  SQUARE  MILES. 
[POPULATION  21,072;  White  10.737,  Colored  10,335. 


Franklin  County  was  formed  in 
1779,  from  what  was,  prior  to  that 
time,  Bute  county.  In  that  year  the 
General  Assembly  obliterated  the  name 
of  Bute  and  formed  from  it  territory 
which  now  constitutes  Franklin  and 
Warren  counties.  Franklin  was  named 
in  honor  of  the  philosopher  and  sage, 
Benjamin  Franklin,  who  rendered  his 
country  important  services  in  a  civil 
capacity  during  the  Revolution. 

LouiSBURG,  the  county  seat,  is  situ- 
ated on  Tar  river,  35  miles  northeast 
from  Raleigh,  and  has  a  population  of 
1,200. 

It  was  a  common  saying  of  this  part 
of  the  State,  during  the  Revolution, 
"  There  are  no  Tories  in  Bute." 

Surface — Franklin  county  is  situated 
on  Tar  river  and  tributaries;  is  moder- 
ately undulating,  well  watered  and 
soil  generally  good.  It  is  nearly  on  the 
dividing  line  between  the  cotton  and 
tobacco  Fections;  is  a  pleasant  country 
and  has  a  thrifty  population. 

Staples — Both  cotton  and  tobacco  are 
produced  successfully,  and  may  be 
called  the  leading  staples.  Corn,  wheat, 
oats,  clover,  grasses,  and  sweet  pota- 
toes are  profitable  crops. 

Fruits — Apples,  peaches,  pears  and 
the  small  fruits,  melons,  etc. 

Timbers — Oak,  hickory,  pine,  gum, 
beech,  walnut,  etc.

from  Hertford,  Chowan  and  Perqui- 
mans counties.  It  was  named  after 
General  Horatio  Gates,  the  victorious 
commander  at  Saratoga  in  1777. 

Gatesville,  the  county-seat,  is  situ- 
ated 180  miles  northeast  from  Raleigh, 
and  has  a  population  of  300. 

Surface. — Low,  level,  and  soil  rich; 
lies  north  and  east  of  the  Chowan  river. 
This  is  really  a  desirable  county,  and 
its  proximity  to  the  Norfolk  and  Balti- 
more markets  will  always  insure  abun- 
dant reward  to  the  agi'iculturist. 

Staples. — Corn  and  cotton  are  great 
staples  of  Gates  county.  Sweet  pota- 
toes, fish  and  naval  stores  are  items  of 
pecuniary  profit. 

Fruits. — Grapes,  melons,  peaches, 
pears,  apples,  plums  and  the  small 
fruits  generally.  Scuppernong  grapes 
are  here  at  home. 

Timbers, — Juniper,  cypress,  sweet 
and  black  gums,  pine,  cak  and  a  va 
riety  of  the  shrubs.

GUILFORD  COUNTY. 

AREA,  680  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,  27,868;  White  19,645,  Colored  8,223. 


Guilford  County  was  formed  in 
1770,  from  Rowan  and  Orange  coun- 
ties. It  was  called  in  compliment  of 
Lord  North,  who,  in  1770,  succeeded 
the  Duke  of  Grafton  as  First  Lord  of 
the  Treasury  and  Prime  Minister.  He 
was  heir  to  the  title  of  Guilford  and 
eventually  succeeded  to  it  as  Earl  of 
Guilford. 

Greensboro,  the  county- seat,  is  83 
miles  northwest  of  Raleigh,  at  the 
junction  of  the  Richmond  &  Danville 
and  Cape  Fear  &  Yadkin  Valley  Rail- 
roads, and  was  named  in  honor  of  Gen- 
eral Nathaniel  Green.  Population  (es- 
timated) 9,000. 

Surface  —  Pleasantly  undulating — 
hilly,  but  not  mountainous;  soil  good, 
water-power  very  fine.  Deep  river  and 
other  smaller  streams  supply  abundant 
water,  and  the  central  location  makes 
it  a  desirable  county  for  residence.  It 
contains  a  thrifty  population. 

Staples — Tobacco,  corn,  wheat  and 
fruits  in  abundance  and  in  great  per- 
fection. Several  nurseries  have  been 
in  operation  for  many  years  and  have 
accomplished  much  for  the  interest  of 
fruit-growing.  Grass-growing  is  also 
profitable. 

Fruits — Apples,  pears,  peaches,  cher- 
ries, grapes,  quinces,  melons,  plums, 
and  other  small  fruits. 

Tmbers— Pine,  oak,  hickory  and 
poplar,

HALIFAX  COUNTY. 

AREA  680  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION:  24,868;  White  19,645;  Colored  5,223. 


Halifax  County  was  formed  in 
1758,  from  Edgecombe  county,  and  in 
this  year  the  court  house  for  the  coun- 
ties of  Edgecombe,  Granville  and 
Northampton  was  moved  from  Enfield 
to  the  town  of  Halifax.  It  derives  its 
name  from  the  Earl  of  Halifax,  who  in 
1758  was  the  first  Lord  of  the  Board  of 
Trades. 

Halifax,  the  county-seat,  is  83  miles 
northeast  from  Raleigh,  on  the  west 
bank  of  the  Roanoke  river,  and  also  on 
the  Wilmington  and  Weldon  Railroad. 
Population  500. 

Scotland  Neck,  21  miles  southeast  of 
Halifax,  has  a  population  of  1,400. 

Surface — This  county  is  located  on 
the  west  side  of  the  Roanoke  river; 
generally  level  and  soil  rich.  Conve- 
nient railroad  and  river  transportation 
make  it  very  desirable  for  farmer.-^. 
This  is  doubtless  one  of  the  finest  coun- 
ties in  the  State. 

Staples — Cotton  is  the  great  staple. 
Corn  and  sweet  potatoes  are  profitable 
crops,  and  tobacco  is  grown  success- 
fully in  the  northern  part  of  the  coun- 
ty. Plenty  of  water-power  and  timber. 

Fruits — Apples,  peaches,  pears,  cher- 
ries, grapes,  plums,  melons  and  a  great 
variety  of  small  fruits. 

Timbers — Pine,  oak,  hickory,  poplar, 
maple,  cypress  and  juniper.

^      Lenoir  County  was  foTined  in  1791, 

J^  from  what  was  Dobbs  county  at  that 

time.     It  was  named  in  h^ nor  of  Gen.

high  state  of  cultivation. 

Staples — Cotton,  tobacco,  rice  and 
corn  are  the  great  staples  of  this 
county.  Sweet  potatoes  are  produced 
largely  and  to  perfection.  The  scup 
pernong  grape  grows  !uxuriantlv.  Rice 
is  now  an  important  crop.  This  is  a 
fine  trucking  section. 

Fruits — Apples,  peaches,   strawber- 
ries, cherries,   grapes,    plums  and  the 
other  small  fruits  common  to  this  sec 
t>s  tion.

NEW  HANOVER  COUNTY. 

AREA,  80  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,  25,586;  White  11,649,  Colored  13,937. 


New  Hanover  County  was  formed 
in  1728,  and  named  in  honor  of  the 
House  of  Hanover,  then  on  the  Eng- 
lish throne. 

Wilmington,  the  county -seat,  was 
named  in  honor  of  the  Earl  of  Wil- 
mington, the  nobleman  to  whose  pat 
ronage  Governor  Johnson  (in  1739)  was 
indebted  for  his  office.  It  was  origi- 
nally called  Newton,  and  is  situated  at 
the  head  of  ocean  navigation,  on  the 
Cape  Fear  river,  148  miles  south  of 
Raleigh.     Population,  34,968. 

Surface — New  Hanover  county  is  sit- 
uated between  Cape  Fear  river  and 
Onslow  Bay,  and  lies  in  the  shape  of  a 
cone  with  the  apex  extending  south  to 
New  Inlet.  The  county  of  Pender 
took  the  greater  portim  of  the  former 
territory  of  New  Hanover.  The  land 
is  level  and  much  of  it  swampy — 
quite  rich,  and  very  productive  when 
well  drained.  The  advantages  of  navi- 
gation are  very  fine. 

Stajyles— Cotton,  corn,  rice,  ground- 
peas,  vegetables,  naval  stores  and  fish. 

The  climate  and  soil  of  New  Han- 
over make  it  very  valuable  for  truck- 
ing, vegeta^)led  being  at  least  twenty- 
five  days  earlier  than  at  Norfolk  and 
points  further  north. 

This  is  the  banner  county  of  the  State 
in  the  production  of  ground  peas,  a 
very  profitable  crop  to  the  planter. 

Fruits — Peaches,  grapes,  berries  and 
other  small  fruits. 

Timbers — Pine,  cypress,  gum  and 
live-oak.

PAMLICO  COUNTY. 

AREA,  360  SQUARE  MILES. 
POPULATION,   7.146;  White  4,767.  Colored  2,379. 


Pamlico  County  was  formed  in 
1872  from  Beaufort  and  Craven  coun- 
ties, and  bears  the  name  of  the  sound 
on  its  eastern  and  southern  borders. 

Bayboro,  the  county-seat,  is  140 
miles  from  Raleigh,  located  on  the  B  ly 
river,  and  takes  its  name  from  that 
stream.     Population  500. 

Surface — This  county  is  low  and 
level.  It  is  traversed  by  Bay  river. 
On  both  sidesof  the  river  there  is  much 
swamp  land  that  produces  heavy  crops 
when  well  drained.  The  advantages 
of  water  transportation  are  fine.  It  id 
sufficient  to  say  that  this  county  makes 
the  well-known  "Bay  River"  sectiow. 

Staples — Cotton, rice,  sweet  and  Irish 
potatoes  and  corn  are  the  great  sta- 
ples. Fish  is  an  item  of  very  consid- 
erable profit.  Newbern,  one  of  the 
finest  fish  markets  in  the  State,  is  soon 
reached,  by  land  or  by  water,  from 
any  part  of  this  county. 

Fruits — Apples,  grapes,  melons  and 
the  small  fruits. 

Timbers — Pine,  poplar,  ash,  gum, 
oak,  holly  and  beech.  Large  quanti- 
ties of  pine  timber  are  produced  and 
shipped  to  the  Northern  markets.

its  name  from  a  town  in  England.  It

potatoes  and  live-stock.  Rowan  is  a 
fine  wheat  county,  and  many  of  the

vation. This  is  the  largest  hay-pro- 
ducing county  in  the  State. 

Fruits — Apples,  peaches,  pears,  cher- 
ries, berries  and  other  small  fruits.

POST-GRADUATE  COURSES. 

Post-gradviate  courses  have  been  established,  leading 
to  the  degrees  of  iMaster  of  Science  (RI.  S.),  Mechanical 
Engineer  (M.  E.)  and  Civil  Engineer  (C.  E.) 

Candidates  for  the  Master's  degree  may  take  their 
major  subject  in  the  departments  of  Agriculture,  Horti- 
culture, Chemistry  or  Physics.  Minor  courses  are 
offered  in  Agricultural  Analysis,  Organic  vSynthesis, 
Theoretical  Chemistry,  Vertebrate  Zoology,  Veterinary

regular  College  Catalogue,  which  will  be  promptly  for- 
warded on  application. 

A  thesis  embodying  the  results  of  some  original  in- 
vestigation must  be  submitted  and  accepted  before  the 
final  examinations  are  taken. 

The  studies  will  be  carefully  adapted  to  the  expansion 
and  development  of  the  special  lines  of  work  selected 
b}-  graduate  students  for  a  professional  calling. 

IRREGULAR  WORK. 

Students,  otherwise  qualified,  may  be  allowed  to  elect 
certain  studies  from  the  regular  courses  already  provided 
in  the  College,  if  no  inconvenience  results  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  regular  classes. 

SUB-FRESHMAN   CLASS. 

A  Sub-Fre.shman  Class  has  been  organized,  to  give 
special  preparation  to  such  young  men  as  are  unable  to 
enter  the  Freshman  Class,  and  who  nevertheless  desire 
a  technical  education.  No  count}'  will  be  allowed  to 
have  more  representatives  in  this  class  than  it  has  in 
the  House  of  Representatives  of  the  General  Assembly.

who  wish  to  escape 
the  severe  cold  of

Words  in  Favor  of  Southern  Pines  by 
Men  of  Prominence: 

The  Governor  of  North  Carolina— ''li  is  well  and  widely  knowu  as  North 
Carolina's  health-resort  section,  and  is  being  largely  patronized  by  persons 
from  the  Northern  States,  who  invariably  express  themselves  as  thoroughly 
satisfied  with  the  result. ' ' 

The  late  State  Geologist  of  North  Carolina,  Prof.  IV.  C.  Kerr,  one  of  the 
most  eminent  men  ifi  his  profession. — "  It  has  the  most  perfect  drainage  possi-

1~\URII^G   the    past    five 
-*— ^  years  thousands  of  peo-

Pines.  ■  Some  came  in  search 
of  an  atmosphere  that  means 
restored  health;  others  came 
for  pleasure  and   to    escape 
the  rig  ore  of  severe  northern 
climates,    while   others,    at- 
racted  by  the  thrift  and  enterprise  which  has  characterized  the
