THE MECCA OF
ALL TOURISTS
SOUTHERN PINES.IS A WINTEH
PARADISE.

Popularity Among Well-to-do
Seekers After Health and Pleasure.
Some Facts About Its Leading

Southern rincs, N. C, March 12.
LKAVINO ttlCHMOND southward
wo have the choice o three
great railway systems .which
give quick nnd direct nccess and
competitive service to nil parts:
the Seaboard Air Lino, the .Southern
railway and the Atlantic Coast lino.
Choosing the Seaboard, wo cross the
James river to Manchester, Va., di
rectly opposite on a largo steel via
duct a mile long, which Is a wonderful
feat of engineering skill, from which
wo got a good view of the historic
river and the onco capital of the
Southern Confederacy.
Manchester Is a thriving manufac
turing city of 10,000 population, con
nected with Hlchmnnd by numerous
bridges, and no doubt some day It will
be annexed. Unlike most American
cities, Richmond has not gobbled up
nny populous territory and population
for a generation. On Manchester
Heights, In 1645, Fort Charles was
built as an outpost of the colonists on
the river below.
TO PETKUSnURQ.
Our routo la over a plateau of twenty-three
miles to Petersburg with but
little rolling ground, through dense
forests of pine trees from six to twelve
Inches In diameter, straight as an ar
row for thirty, even fifty, feet without
a limb and to 100 feet In height, with
nil occasional opening and then a
stretch of oak, the soil being clay and
sand of chrome yellow In color. "Wo
pass battle Holds where the ground Is
yet scarred nnd furrowed with the
lines of the old earthworks thrown up
by the contending nrmles. We are
told, however, that the devastation of
the war has boon Inrgely repaired by
the Improvements of Inter years and
cultivated farms nnd orchards now re
place the wasted fields that were the
camping ground of great armies.
We enter Petersburg on a high tres
tle over the Appomatox river, the
town mainly laying beneath. Its com
modious canal, its numerous church
fplivs, its one-story flat-roof, outside
gable end chimneyed negro houses were
noticeable features. The population
Is nearly 'J.'.non. Two -.nlle outside of
the city southward are located two
Male institutions, one of the two col
oied normal schools of Virginia and
the t'ential insane Asylum, both large
and Imposing structures, worthy of
the "Mother of Presidents."
A ride of seventy-tlve miles farther
noiitli brings us to the Carolina lino,
'lhe aspect of the country is greatly
charged, either by the cutting away
of forest or by the growtli of woods
i ver former fields and open country.
The pine forests grow heavier; the
1 iiuber camps more numerous, and
rotted with turpentine stills, which
lie one of the greatest industries of
1 "lis rectlon. The holl, while light nnd
fin.'y, improves ns wo go bouthward.
RALEIGH,
une hundred and fifty-seven miles
fi on) Richmond is Raleigh, the capital
of Not th Carolina, founded in 17SS,
an I now a handsome and flourishing
manufacturing city with a population
Important
to the Ladies
Of Scranton and
Vicinity.
As you are well aware that fur
work is slow work if you want to
have it done properly, and as this
is our only way of doing work, I
would advise the ladies to have
their fur work attended to at once,
besides you take the advantage of
our low prices which we are giving
during the summer months and we
store same for you free of charge.
Today and tomorrow we vil
put on sale a beautiful line of
Tailor-Made Suits
Odds and ends ol our season's best
styles at way below manufacturing

in New Yojk; regular prices $15,
$20 and $35 waists for
$6.98
while they last. Come now and
put one aside you may want one
soon,

Coal Exchange Building,
of 13,l3. The city Is peculiarly laid
out. In tho center Is a largo plot,
called "Union Square," around which
tho city Is built, in Us center, on
higher ground, Is tho capltol building,
an Imposing structure 00 feet by 180
feet, costing $C50,000. Tho citizens of
Raleigh arc full of vigor and enterprise
as expressed In public work, through
their Chamber of Commerce and In
dustrial association. Among the man
ufacturing Industries are n largo
hosiery, yarn and gingham mill, a to
bacco factory, a cotton seed oil mill
and phosphate works, while Just out
side the city limits Is located the State
Experimental Station and Farm of
fi.OOO acres, tho first In the South and
the second In tho United States, an en
terprise resulting In Incalculable good
to tho agricultural Interests of tho
state. Tho city has nearly fifty miles
of broad, well paved and well shaded
streets, and a superior water and
sewerage system Hero Is located
tho State Geological Museum, an In
stitute for the Deaf, Dumb and Wind,
also tho State Insnno Asylum and
Penitentiary. A feature worthy of

emulation by other states Is their
"convict system," utilizing the con
victs on tho public works throughout
the state and in various camps. Ra
leigh Is one of tho leading educational
centers of the state, having three col
leges for young ladles, a malo academy
and a fine system of public schools.
For the higher education of the "col
ored people" there are Shaw Univer
sity and St. Augustine Normal college.
Of tho population of Raleigh, sixty
per cent are white. Tho public schools
are supported by a per capita tax not
exceeding two dollars and tho rallro-'d
companies pay a large sum for school
rui poses. Thirty-live per cent of the
pupils are colored, they having sc.ia:--ate
schools. Amoni, tho Institutions
:V.r higher education are the Uapt.st
Female university, with twlve dis
tinct schools nnd also St. .Mary's
school, bottt large and prosperous 1 ti--stltutlons.
Tho massive and M'arlad
shade-trees which abound In Raleigh
have given it the title of tho "City or
Oaks."
SOUTHERN PINES.
From Raleigh to Southern Pines, the
"Mecca of health resorts," is sixty
eight miles through many flourishing
places and lumber camps, with im
proved farming country well adapted
to the raising of early vegetables,
grain, grapes and stock. As the swift
speeding train sweep southward, we
feci more and more the ice clutch of
the northern winter relax, though re
luutcntly, and commence to breathe
11. e invigorating air of the great pines
only found In the "High Sand Hills,"
where winter Is distanced In the race
for supremacy.
This Is Southern Pines, whose fame
is abroad in tho land, and tho neatest
and most convenient resort for us
northerners where we may feel secuic
from the cold blasts of winter, and T
confess to a genuine surprise wil'i till
other new comers.
The air hero is simply aromatic with
the odor of tho long-leafed pine for
ests which suriound the town. Heic
wo lind tcpose without dulness, health
without medicine, and pleasure with
out much exertion. The equability of
the climate here Is most marked; the
nearest appio.ioh to It Is Southern
California at the foot hill of the moun
tains. Yet they have cold, piercing
winds which are ivver found here. The
average winter teiiipoiatuio is 14 de
grees, anil tile ye.-uly aveiagf is t..i ho-greet-,
thus admitting out-door exer
cise during tlie entiie ear with no
discomfort whatever.
CMMATE ACCOUNTED FOIJ.
This mild climate is accounted for
mainly In the Inlluence of the Gulf
Stream. This Immense body of super
heated water attains a width of seventy-five
miles at a point on the North
( 'moll mi shore, directly cast of South
ern Pines, 110 mlle.s distant. This
stteant parts with Its heat during its
coutt-p, and modifies the climate of
the photos It touches, and Is can led
over the plne-bclt by tho trade winds
prevailing the greater part of the year.
Southern l'lues is located on the Sea
board Air l.lno railway, right In the
heart of the renowned long-leafed phi"-hi-lt
and high sand-hill section of
North Carolina, which covers an area
over a hundred miles In length south
ward and some thirty miles wide. It
In liOO foot above sea level and with Its
f-andy, porous soil, high altitude, and
distance fioni the water among those
everlasting pines, all combined, It pos
hCKWH all the advantages of icsorH
farther Miuth anil is the healthiest and
probably the most deslialile winter re
sort In Amotion. Tho .ibf- nee of largo
licdles of water, which i ui-e by their
cooling effects the ( nnd nsallnil ot the
vapor In the attninnliere and produce
fog, precludes tho possibility of mias
ma, always fi.uuil in lou lands border
ing on streams. Ilote, there Is abso
lutely nothing for inieiubes to feed on.
Professor W, (', Kerr (stato geologist)
while exploring; this tegion discovered
that tho people who lived here wera
entirely fito front all foims, of pulmon
ary and throat diseases and ho thought
It was duo to the presence of the lons
Uafeil pine, which Is the giowth of
this "Plun Hill" section largely. Is It
any wonder, then, Hint this region Is
visited now by thousands of tourists
front nil o"or the land, who de.sre to
sia nd their winter months In this
grand climate, neither too hot nor too
cold.
Southern Pines Is now a prospejous
little hamlet of 1,000 population, In
habited by thoso who camo seeking
health, but tho be3t of It Is they are
no longer Invalids. The erection of
many elegant cottages by northern
people of wealth and refinement dur
ing the past few years, has given an
Impetus to tho village; real estate has
advanced and wonderful progress Is
being made every year and tho out
look for new comers Is very favorable.
The schools are excellent and guests
with families can spend the winter In
this mlU climate and not neglect the
education of their children. Educa
tional opportunities nre offered not
only In the ordinary branches, but
teachers of languages and music nnd
art aro found hero. There are, too,
churches of most every denomination.
Hero are stores and markets of an
branches.
PUDLTC CONVENIENCES.
Hut tho btst of all ! tho water nnd
sewage system. Tho village has
water system of unequaled mirltv: It
Is claimed, purer than that provided
by nny other sysleni In tho country
of which an analysis has been made.
This Is owing to tho water being fil
tered through the sand which nt places
Is over a hundred feet In depth. A
complete system of sewage has been
Inaugurated so there can bo no pollu
tion of tho soil. Thero are no large
factories for mill hands to find em
ployment In, but In tho way ot fruit
growing, raising tobacco and garden
truck, unusual opportunities are of
fered. I learn from John T. Patrick,
chief Industrial agent of the Seaboard
Air Lino railway, that In favorable
yjears millions of boxes of fruit of var
ious kinds nro shipped from this tic
pot, In 1S98, some 3,600,000 boxes one
farm alone, 20,000 crates, and last year
by express alono 2",o00 cralon of
peaches and grapes. Hero aro peach
orchards, comprising some 7,000 ncres
with 50,000 trees, nearly all bearing
fiult. Here nre fifty different persons
working orchards of pears, plums,
blackberries, grapes and peaches, from
five acres to 700 acres each, one man
holding some 3,000 acres. This, too, Is
famous cotton and tobacco lnnd, the
fertilizers used being cotton seed meal,
bone,, and, for fruit manures; guano
and Carolina phosphates.
EXCELLENT HOTELS.
Southern Pines can boast of some
excellent hotels, eight, all told, rates
varying In price from ?!) to ?:ir per
week. .Rut the most palatial nnd com
modious strucluio Is tho new I'lnoy
Woods Inn, n cut of which appears
herewith. This hotel will comfortably
accommodate two hundred and fifty
guests nnd make them feel comfort
able and satisfied. Home-like In every
respect, Its guests nre free from all
restrjctlons and can here enjoy a win
ter home with all tho comforts of city
life.
Opened In lR9fi, Its success the first
senson was moot marked, and the fore
runner of a brilliant future, and, I
understand, with each succeeding year,
greater success and Increased popular
ity have been Its good fortune. The
"Inn" is located upon a sandy ildge
nt an elevation of 000 feet above sea
level, which has a gradual slope toward
the village, a half-mile dlstnnt. Tho
soil Is clean sand, extending to a
depth of fifty to ninety feet, giving n
perfect natural drainage and prevent
ing any surface dampness. Numerous
spiings of the purest water flow fiom
this hillside, issuing forth as clear ns
crystal, the gre.at depth of the sand
through which they pass acting ns a
Ultcr and removing all deleterious mat
ter. The "Inn" has all the up-to-date im
provements connected with a first class
hotel good toilet rooms on every floor,
electric light, electric call bolls, spa
cious parlors, reception rooms, reading
and writing roonn for both ladles and
gentlemen, wide verandas, long piom
enndes, .-tin pallors on oacli story,
steam heat in fact all tho conven
iences of city hotels. The ofilco is spa
cious nnd roomy and the growing
palms and ferns, with bric-a-brac and
wot Us of art, give an stir of luxurious
comfort tint Is un welcome to tlr
stranger. Tn the hotel Is a billiard and
also ,pool table, free to the tiro of
the guests, while tho commodious par
lor, so tastefully decoiated, the chcry
sun parlors, and tho reading and wilt
ing rooms wltli a large llbi-iiy of books,
all tervo to make tho visitor fee! that
lie Is at home and among friend'--.
The .sleeping rooms aro all g'-ed "
Willi a closet in each loom. Fl'i'ir
are of hard wood, with uig- thus- ;!
u.g absolute cleanliness, whl!- piiv.il

HANDSOME D1NINC1 ROOM
The dining room is of iiiuisr ! ci
pacily, adorned with tropical and fiiiI
tiopical plants. The table is- yonoinu--!
supplied with till the fruits ami
luxuries in market and the white f

An uieheslia dl.s-cciuiK.--i music at all
meals and during ceitahi hoin.s in th"
day and evening. A ielih nt hotire
physician is always in attendance,
t'oniinned consumptives aro not re
ceived. I should mention the nine
hole golf com so, an Id to be one of the
lust In tho south, with a professional
golfer in attendance: also, the great
est of spoits, fox hunting, with a pack
of hounds, u-ed for this special pur
pose. Guides and horses ato furnish
ed lor a chase any time, also dogs for
hunting iiall, wild turl.ey.s, deer and
fox. Tho game shooting lieie cannot
be surpassed. It Is an Interesting
sight, when the saddle riders assemble
at the hotel liont for the morning ride.
The "Hotel Path," In which th- hotel
stiinds, contains twenty notes, cov
eted with a heavy growth of the long
Icai'fd pines, the tiees growing to a
height of slvty, even sevuity feet, and
is rapidly being made n place of
beauty. Hurtle arbors, bridges, set
teep, etc., are elected with skill and
tasie, that lhe nwn refined and In
tclllgent people who come to dwell In
this "paradise of nature" may enjoy
IhiMi'selve.s thoroughly. In absolute
freedom I mm noisy Interruptions and
Willi the balmy odor of the pines per
meating tlie air you breathe, It is a
perfect paradise for thoso needing rest
and quiet and outdoor air. Within
this park mo located tho Southern
Pines mlneial springs. These waters,
on account of their saline properties,
liuvp boon found btiericial for gout,
rheumatism, scrofulous diseases, con
Mlpatlon, obesity, diseases of tho skin,

Invariably charmed with tho home-llko

otheiwlso when such nn all around ho.
tel man Is the moving spirit. I can
say that In all my travels from Maine,
to California nnd Alaska to Florida,
only In one or two other Instances
have I found a moro genial, skillful,
painstaking and natural born hotel
manager than the proprietor and man
ager, Charles St. John. His having
for many years conducted a northern
summer resort at High Point Inn,
near Port Jorvls, N. Y., with gratify
ing success, and attracting numerous
people of refinement nnd culture there,
with ench recurring season, Is tho best
possible certificate as to bis good man
agement, particularly when the same
"old-time" patrons enter their names
anew on tho hotel register of his "win
tor resort" nt Southern Pines. Aside
front an able corps of assistants, In
cluding niembots of his family and a
brother-in-law, Atnnsto Strykcr, of
Hlnghamton, N. Y (a thoroughbred
hotel mnn), It wns a pleasure to meet
among the guests our old friends, his
father-in-law and popular ox-Erie
conductor, Charles m. Salmon, so well
and fnvoinbly known In Scranton and
Ilonesdale, having relatives In ench
rlace. Looking hnlo and hearty, he Is
ever on tho alert to extend the con
ductor's gilp Its welcoming his numer
ous friends to become guests of the
lun. This alone Is sillliclent gtinrnn
iee that every pdtron of tho "Plney
Woods Inn" will be heartily welcomed,
royally entertained, nnd made to fool
at homo during his stay With such
Inducements none should fall to seek
this land of ozone, pines and health,
as a winter retort.

system of tailoring has called forth many inquiries
both from the custom tailor and his patron. We
have been pleased to demonstrate its advantages
its improved points of tailoring, giving all the facts
concerning the modeling from the cutter to the fin
isher. It has taken thoughtful effort on our part for
many past seasons to accomplish, and perfect this
high standard of tailoring.

reputation of improving their methods from year to

"Atterbury System" of tailoring. Our English may
not be classic, but our motives, principles and theo
