himself a South-erner—
having come to New York
from South Carolina.
"Messrs. Hopkins and Garland
were holding an animated conversa-tion
relative to good roads in the
South, especially as to the most feas-
I ible route from New York to Atlanta,
and it was the emphatic opinion of
; both that what is known as the Pied-
' mont air line is 'the only way,' and
| all other roads are delusions and
| snares.
"Mr. Hopkins grew poetic in his de-scription
of the beauties of the route
which takes one through the Shenan-
I doah valley of Virginia, down
.through Danville and into North Car-olina
by way of Greensboro to Char-lotte.
He stated that in the coun-
' ties of Rockingham, Guilford, David-son,
Rowan, Mecklenburg and Gaston
—in fact, in every county traversed
in North Carolina—some macadam
road has already been built, and
much more is in course of construc-tion.
"One of the most interesting points
to which the route can take the trav-eller,
he says, is Guilford Battle
Ground, near Greensboro, where was
fought the battle which was perhaps
| the turning point of the Revolution-
' ary war.
"The roads of Guilford and Meck-lenburg
counties are particularly good
; and through these runs the Piedmont

from the standpoint of roads, but al-i

of Mr. Cone's address was "Co-operation
Between Employees and
the Management." He prefaced his
remarks by thanking the operatives
for their sincere and hearty interest
in the mills. He said the interest
was mutual, and after telling them of
the struggle it had been to keep the
mills open on their account at a loss
to the owners, he stated that it would
be
est in the future as lie had done In
the past, and he then unfolded many
new plans for the betterment and
convenience of the villages which lie
contemplated carrying out in the fu-ture.
