Traveling from place to place enables us to note the fact that it is by far a better way to grow gradually than to have a great boom and then suddenly come to a standstill, which is bound to cripple trade so that many are often brought to want. This fact we judge has been thoroughly considered by your people, as is shown by the steady and careful way in which they have so successfully estab- lished a business centre which can be justly classed as one of the most enterprising centres of the "Old North State."
The addition of two new railroads has added greatly to the in- terests of the Twin-Cities, which is just fairly stepping out in the world, and within the next five years we predict that the popula- tion will be nearly doubled as there appears nothing to retard such a growth. Three months after the publication of our last Directory a substantial brick building was erected on Fifth street to be oc- cupied by the Electric Light and Motive Power Company. The building together with the machinery cost nearly $25,000. The system used is the Brush Electric. The arc dynamo is of 45 light power and is taken to nearly its full capacity. This requires about 10 miles of wire and the incandescent system with 450 light dynamo has nearly 15 miles of wire in use. A Ball engine and Erie City Tron Works boiler, both of 80 horse power, and manufactured at Erie, Pa., are in place and are doing satisfactory work. J. W. Mc- Farland, for several years connected with the Brush Company, at Cleveland, Ohio, is superintendent and electrician; D. P. Mast, secretary and treasurer; W. A. Whitaker, president.
In our last Directory will be found on page 157 that the popula- of the Twin-Cities then was 9,856 which from our present canvass we find to be 10,479 which shows an increase of 623 above all re- movals and deaths.
MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENTS.
In 1875 Winston had about 1,500 inhabitants and property valued at $300,000, with five tobacco factories having an aggregate capital of less than $100,000. In 1880 there was eleven factories
18
APPENDIX.
with an invested capital of $417,500, and giving an annual product of $750,000. The present status shows over thirty factories and in- vested capital of $2,000,000. The annual product is above $4,000, 000. This is a great tobacco market and several hundred wagons come weekly, sometimes daily, from the mountains and surround- ing districts, making the annual transactions in leaf tobacco foot up to about $1,500,000. Other manufacturies here do an annual business of about $1,500,000 and the wholesale and retail trans- actions of the general merchants foot up to nearly $2,000,000 an- nually.
The continued progress in mannfactories gives to the Twin- Cities an exceedingly bright outlook. Taxes are low, real estate has not reached a speculative boom and the large amount already invested in factories and machinery will ever be a prevention from a retrograde movement. With the best graded schools in the state, and the oldest and best Female Seminary in the South, to- gether with several private schools and excellent religious advan- tages, the high social and moral standing of the Twin-City will al- ways be a laurel in its crown of progress. The business men here are wide awake and pushing. While ready to welcome Northern capital and immigration, they are not Micawber-like, waiting for something to turn up, but are progressive. But few cities of this size can boast of as many men who are rated in the hundreds of thousands, and the number of brick residences or costly frame mansions clearly demonstrates that we have a large per centage of well-to-do citizens in this handsome and healthful city.
SETTLEMENT OF SALEM. MORAVIAN HISTORY.
While it is not our purpose to go into a detail of past history, it is only proper that we should make a brief reference to the people who settled this town and county more than a century ago. Bohemia and Moravia were first to protest against what they believed to be the unrighteous claims of the Romish Church and the Reformation became prominent under John Huss, who suffered martyrdom in 1415. From his memory arose that religious body officially named the Unitas Fratum or Brethren's Unity, and more generally known as the Moravians. To be freed from the spirit of oppression many of the brethren fled to Saxony.
In 1557 a parish was established in Poland, but an anti-reforma- tion was fostered by Ferdinand II in 1620-27 which crushed out this church leaving only a handful of the Brotherhood from whom the line of descent was continued. The foundation for the town of Herrenhut was laid in June, 1722, on lands donated to the Broth- erhood by Count Zinzendorf, of Saxony, and this soon became their general rallying place. A large number of Moravians subse-
19
APPENDIX.
quently emigrated to Pennsylvania and from there, in 1752, Bishop Spangenberg, accompanied by five brethren, set out to select a loca- tion in North Carolina. Together with Mr. Churton, the surveyor and agent for Lord Granville, they traversed the wild forests of this section and after numerous harships and privations selected the " Wachovia tract," which, with subsequent surveys, was made to contain 98,985 acres and covers what is now about two-fifths of Forsyth county. This was deeded to the society August 7th, 1753, and the first settlement was made at Bothabara (now Old Town), a few months later. Salem was selected as the central town for the Moravian Brethren in 1765, and the first house was occupied the next year.
In 1857 a separation of civil and religious government took place, since which time Salem has held regular municipal elections.
The present generation might derive an instructive moral lesson by contrasting the privileges and discomforts which beset the first settlers, with the happy circumstances by which they are sur- rounded; such a contrast should inspire the latter with feelings of gratitude for the blessings which they now enjoy.
In reviewing the hardships and privations that these early pioneers must have endured to withstand the savage beasts and savage men, and lay the foundations of civilization with all its ineumbent blessings, a feeling of reverence comes over us and we can only recall the memory of those hardy veterans and gaze upon the work they have accomplished with the most profound respect. We find much embraced in their personal history that would inter- est the general reader if space would permit, but the bounds of this artiele and the important pressing present forbids our enlarging on those early scenes.
The industrious habits of the early settlers laid a good founda- tion for manufacturing and it is not surprising that with the advent of the railraad, industrial establishments sprung up on all sides and the growth of Salem's young offspring-Winston-has been marvelous.
The Wachovia Society believed in making the children learn useful trades and it is worthy of note that the first substantial house built in Salem-1766-is still in use as a pottery and has some of the quaint old moulds dating back to 1774. The Salem water works built in 1778 were in use up to ten years ago when the demand for a larger supply brought the present system. It is said that the water works were much admired by President Washington on his visit to this place in 1791.
SALEM FEMALE ACADEMY.
An educational institution that has been successfully conducted for 84 years should be a just pride to the city in which it is located, and rerered by its numerous and widely scattered alumno. The
20
APPENDIX.
Salem Female Academy was opened as a boarding school in 1804, having ever since continned its educational work without interrup- tion. During this time more than 6,000 of its alumnæ have gone forth to do their allotted part in life's field. The children and grand-children of its early pupils have in many instances been ed- ucated here giving this academy a wide spred influence and well earned reputation. It is unsectarian in its teaching, but is conducted under the auspices of the Moravian church and strict regard is taken for the moral and religious welfare of the students. Pupils are associated together in room companies under the charge of the teachers, their habits carefully noted and every safeguard thrown around them. Beautiful grounds adjoin the building. The sanita- ry surroundings are in excellent condition and judicious calisthenic exercises have been instituted for pleasure and physical develop- ment. The course of study is thorough, distinctive in its feature of individuality and covers every desirable field, but our space will not permit of an extended review of the curriculum terms, etc. which can be secured on application to the Principal. The build- ings are located in a pleasant and retired part of the quiet Moravian settlement of Salem, and the extensive private grounds are a de- lightful place for out of door recreation, surrounded by the beauties of nature.
Rev. J. H. Clewell, is Principal, and superintendent of the com- mercial course. He was educated at Bethlehem, Pa., and Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Rev. Edward Rond- thaler, D. D., pastor of the Moravian church, and recent principal, is superintendent of the department of languages. Prof. L. B . Wurreschke, a graduate of a German University in Silesia, has, charge of the Physical Science Department, and the chief position on the musical staff is now held by Prof. Geo. F. Markgraff, who, in addition to his training in the best Moravian schools on the Con- tinent, has taken a course in the Berlin Conservatory of Music.
Every department has a full corps of instructors-in all, twenty- five teachers-each enthusiastie to accomplish the best results in education. The average attendance is about 220.
A Male Academy, or boys' preparatory school, is run in connec- tion with the Moravian interests here, in charge of a principal and four teachers, having an average enrollment of 150. -: 0 :-

FORSYTH COUNTY.
This county was formerly included in Rowan, and was formed from Stokes county in 1848. It was named for Col. Benj. Forsyth, " a soldier of the war of 1812 to 1815, who was killed in a Canadian skirmish. It is situated in the north-western part of the state, with the Yadkin river as its western boundary. It is eminently fitted for tobacco raising. The yield on new lands ranges 500 to 650 lbs., and on old lands, with fertilizer, a much larger crop is of- ten realized. The annual yield for Forsyth county is now over 4,000,000 pounds. The soil, climate and situation of this county, are peculiarly adapted to the growth of the vine, which yields in the most luxuriant manner, wherever the least attention is paid to it.
As early as 1761 this record appears in the archives of the church in Salem: "Great abundance of wild grapes, nineteen hogsheads of wine were made in the three settlements." The Concord, Clinton and kindred varieties are the most popular, because they grow with the least attention. Others can be grown with case. Sorghum grows finely, and is manufactured into syrups of a bright color, and pleasant taste. Broom corn of long staple and excellent qual- ity, is raised on many of the bottom lands.
This county is hilly and undulating, well watered and adapted to the production of the most nutritious grasses. The orchard grass, mountain grass and clover make excellent pasture and tim- othy makes good crops of hay, millet does well, milo-maize and other forage and food can be produced to perfection so that sheep
22
APPENDIX.
and cattle can be raised easily, wintered cheaply and there is no reason why the production of thoroughbred stock and dairy cattle is not eminently practicable. With abundance of milk cows, on these fine grasses, could be produced first-class butter, and cheese manufacturing is not only feasible but the field is especially invit- ing to those skilled in its production. Even the poorer grade of lands in this section grows grapes to perfection and is adapted to peaches, apples, pears, plums, cherries, gooseberries, currants and small berries.
More than a hundred different varieties of trees are found in this and surrounding counties. Mica, iron, manganese, asbestus, and traces of gold are here : marble, granite, soapstone and sandstone are abundant, and the entire county is fairly settled up with an in- dustrious, and peace loving community. However, there is room for a population three or four times as great. Lands are cheap and good citizens from any section of the country will be welcomed. An admirable feature of the agricultural lands of this section, is the susceptibility of the clay subsoil for retention of fertilizers to a de- gree unsurpassed by any kind of soil. Traets that are much worn are thus easily revived and made to produce good crops.

MORAVIAN CHURCH.
TIIE BRETHREN'S UNITY.
In connection with the settlement of Salem we have given some Moravian history, as the church had control of the land matters here for a hundred years after the purchase of the Wachovia tract.
The first settlers of Salem arrived in January and February, 1766. They were George Holder, Jacob Steiner, Michael Ziegler, Melchoir Rasp, of Pennsylvania, and Gottfried Prazel, Nicls Peter- son, Jens Smith and John Birkhead, from Europe. These were re- inforced by additional emigrants from Pennsylvania in the coming fall, accompanied by Rev. Richard Utley, who became the minister of the parish. A two story church building was erected in 1766 which served a half dozen years as a house of worship when a more substantial church took its place. In 1772 a bell, weighing 2,758 pounds was brought overland from Pennsylvania, and which serv- ed as a town clock by tolling the hours. A two stop organ was also made that year and took the place of the trombones which
24
APPENDIX.
had been brought from Europe with the first settlement of the place. The 1772 structure served as a "meeting house" until the present remarkable edifice was completed in 1800. A large pipe organ was built in the new church in 1799, which is still in acceptable use there. The church structure is an imposing brick edifice which would probably cost $20,000 to duplicate at the present time. It was erected by the individual labors of the brethren and a large donation from Brother Frederick Marshall, the leader in the Mora- vian settlement, but no record was kept of the total expense. The superstructure is surmounted by a town clock which strikes not on- ly the hours, but the quarters as well. It has a convenient seating capacity for 800 people, and will hold on pressure a thousand souls or more. It is heated by furnaces, has kitchen attachments, pas- tor's conference rooms a large Sunday School Chapel, and is a cred- it to the people who worship there. The simplicity, industry and moral integrity of the Moravian Brotherhood has been widely felt in its refining influence over this section of country. The Sa- lem Female Academy was established by the Southern Synod of the Moravian Church in 1802. The organizations of this section are Salem and its four mission churches, Eden, Friedland, Fried- burg, Hope, Macedonia, New Philadelphia, Olivet, Old Town, Be- thania, Mt. Bethel, Providence and Oak Grove, numbering over 1,600 communicants-of whom about 600 are in Salem parish. For eleven years past the Salem Church has been under the spiritual charge of Edward Rondthaler, D. D., of Pennsylvania. After grad- uating at the Moravian Theological Seminary, at Bethlehem, Pa., Rev. Rondthaler was a student on the continent for some time. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him at Chapel Hill, in this State.
