Noted for its churches and church life, Fayetteville and vicinity proudly claim a number of the oldest Presbyterian churches of North Carolina. The First Presbyterian Church, on Bow Street, was founded in 1755 andorganized in 1800. The original edifice wasburned in thefire of 1831. Itsfoundation and walls were used for the present structure, which was built and dedicated in 1832.
Three early Presbyterian churches-Longstreet, Bluff and Barbecue-are the oldest in the upper Cape Fear County. They were organized Oct. 18, 1758, by the Rev. James Campbell, native of Scotland, who is buried on the east side of the Cape Fear River.
St. John's Episcopal Church was organized April 8, 1817, with the Rev. Bethel Judd, D. D., as the first rector. In June of that same year the founda- tions of the building were laid by the Masonic Order, and the church was dedi- cated in April, 1819. This first structure was burned in 1831. The present church was soon rebuilt on the old foundations.
Many other outstanding historic spots in and around Fayetteville will appeal to visitors, as well as numerous sites of modern progress. Myrtle Hill, on which the new Veterans' Hospital is located, once was the estate of Judge Robert Strange. Remnants of the old Confederate breastworks thrown up during the War Between the States are still visible on the grounds, and also a part of the old canal running along the Cape Fear River.
McNeill's Mill, which until recently stood on the corner of Old and Green streets, was built in 1764, and was in continuous service for 175 years. The Masonic Lodgeat the head of Mason Street has recordsas far backas 1788, and probably was chartered by the Grand Lodge of the Masons of Scotland in 1760. The second session of the Grand Lodge of the State was held here, Governor Samuel Johnston being the Grand Master.
MODERN FAYETTEVILLE Location and Transportation
Fayetteville is located at the head of navigation on the Cape Fear River, with an eight-foot channel to the coast. Petroleum products make up the bulk of the freight handled on the river at the present time. In addition, there is some transportation of sand and gravel by barge. Fayetteville is served by three rail- roads and several motor-freight lines for freight; and by one main-line railroad and three bus lines for passenger service. Air transportation is available at the modern Municipal Airport, with twelve flights per day. Located on two of the most heavily traveled north-south main highways (U. S. 301 and U.S. 15-A), Fayetteville is a convenient stopping point for tourists, who find excellent ac- commodations in the local hotels, tourist homes and tourist courts.
Industry and Agriculture
Over a period of years, agricultural activities have been of prime importance in this section of North Carolina. The biggest development in this connection in recent years was the establishment of a tobacco market in 1946. At the present time there are two tobacco warehouses, where the chant of the auctioneer rings out in all its traditional color during the market season, which lasts for about two months beginning in early August. These local warehouses have a combined total of approximately eight acres of floor space. During the 1954 tobacco season, this market sold approximately 9, 750, 000 pounds of tobacco for an aggregate price of $5, 000, 000. In addition to the tobacco market, Fayetteville has a cotton market and a livestock market. The livestock market handles annually approxi- mately 20, 000 animals and pays out approximately $825, 000. In recent years,
XI
INTRODUCTION
industrial activities have come more and more to the front, and the industrial payroll is now estimated to be about $11, 000, 000 annually.
Military
Fayetteville is the home of Fort Bragg, one of America's largest and most important military installations. It also is the home of the 82d Airborne Divi- sion, "America's Guard of Honor. " This division was located at Fort Bragg prior to going into combat and returned to its "old home" covered with glory and honors earned during the struggles of World War II. With the separation of the Air Force from the Army, Pope Air Force Base was established on the reser- vation, occupying the location formerly known as Pope Field. Headquarters of the Ninth Air Force is located at Pope Air Force Base.
Commercial
With the post-war improvement of existing stores and with the addition of new stores, both chain and local, Fayetteville is becoming more and more pop- ular as the shopping center of southeastern North Carolina. Virtually all items found in the larger cities now can be found in Fayetteville at prices which are in line with those of the larger shopping centers. Fayetteville has grown in recent years to become the seventh largest city in North Carolina. It is the largest city between Charlotte, N. C., and the Atlantic Coast, and between Raleigh, N. C. and Columbia, S. C. The trade area extends approximately 35 miles north, 50 miles east, 75 miles south, and 70 miles west, and in thisarea there is an estimated population of 500, 000.
Housing and Recreation
Housing and recreational facilities have been overtaxed more than anything else in recent years, but progressive programs in both these fields are begin- ning to show favorable results. Present home and apartment construction has reached a new high, and it is probable that more family units will have been completed in this community in 1955 than during any previous year. There are 22 municipal parks and recreational facilities, including two municipal swimming pools, one for white and one for Negroes. There are two country clubs, with tennis, golf, swimming, dining and dancing facilities. Five regular theatres and seven drive-in theatres furnish entertainment in the motion-picture field. Two U. S. O. clubs provide recreational facilities for service men and their families. Other recreational facilities include bowling alleys and skating rinks. Fayetteville is in the Class B Carolinas Baseball League, the Fayetteville Athletics being a farm club of the Kansas City Athletics. Several nearby ponds and lakes furnish quiet recreation for those who enjoy fishing. Large and small game provide excitement and recreation for the local and visiting nimrods.
Government
Fayetteville is the county seat of Cumberland County. The county is gov- erned by a Board of Commissioners, and the city has the council-manager form of government. The five-man Council elects one of its own members as Mayor.
Utilities
Urban bus service, telephone service and gas are furnished by private com- panies. Water and electricity are furnished by the Public Works Commission, except that large consumers of power are permitted to deal directly with the Carolina Power & Light Co. The municipally-owned modern filter plant has a normal capacity of 5, 000, 000 gallons per day, but this can be increased 50% without undue strain. In addition, an older plant with a capacity of 3, 000, 000 gallons per day is maintained for emergency use. The source of water is springs arising from adjoining sand hills, and threelakes areused as reservoirs. These lakes have a storage capacity of 320, 000 gallons. Two elevated storage tanks have a capacity of 1, 000, 000 gallons each, and a clear-water reservoir has a capacity of 1, 500, 000 gallons. The water plant is surrounded by a veritable garden, with rolling green lawns, flowering plants, and evergreens. Glenville Lake mirrors the surrounding cypress and tall pine trees in a peaceful setting. Water pouring over the spillway creates a sparkling waterfall which flows among the rocks, between lacy green weeping willows, and hundreds of multi-colored azaleas. The rose garden contains many varieties and colors to delight the eye,

and there are many smaller beds of hydrangeas, gladioli, jonquils, dahlias, and other flowers. Dogwood trees dot the landscape, in addition to several varieties of evergreens. Visitors always are welcome to inspect the modern filtration plant, and to enjoy the flowers in season.
Education
Fayetteville long has ranked high in the education world. One of the first graded schools in North Carolina was started here by Dr. Alexander Graham, father of Dr. Frank P. Graham, and for whom the present Junior High School is named. The handsome new high school building is one of the finest in the state. Greater Fayetteville now has seven graded schools, one junior high school, and one senior high school for white children. There are three graded schools, one junior high school and one senior high school for Negroes. In ad- dition the oldest state normal school for Negroes in the U. S. is located here. Founded in 1877, it has enjoyed phenomenal growth. It is now called the State Teachers College. Nearby are several other institutions of higher learning- Presbyterian Junior College, at Maxton; Flora MacDonald College, at Red Springs; Pineland College, at Salemburg, and Edwards Military Institute, at Salemburg.

Numerous azalea and camellia gardens and wisteria decorate the community each spring, and Mother Nature is ex- travagant with the variety of colors each fall. Annual events of interest to vis- itors include the Camellia Show, the Flower Festival, the Fall Flower Show, a dog show (American Kennel Club-approved), and a dairy cattle show.

Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!
Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!
The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.
2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irregular and broken. Portrait merges into the background.
Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Back- ground is a fine screen of regular lines.
COLORED SEAL
Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.
Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.
SERIAL NUMBERS
Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance.
Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.
PAPER Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.
Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scat- tered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit: ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTER- FEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRANGERS.
This information is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32. page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY". which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and bilis and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may be purchased for 10c each. or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office. Washington, O. C.
