The road from Fayetteville
to Columbia, pallesjovcr lome
(. f th' pocrcjt, and Ibme a*- /I 1 tile
country, as any in North or
S futh- Carolina : It is generally
a flat, level country, fandy and
mcr, only on the water coin fes,
which are numerous, and com
monly are Jklrted with very rich
land. This road affords few
ct m for tabic houfes of ente rtani
ment, though a little encourage
ment would make things other
wife j the mail coaches palling
along this road, would induce
rnoft travellers to, and from
Georgia and South-Carollna, to
travel it; whereas they com
monly rake other routes froth
Fayetteville, than the main fou
ihern poll roftd, as feveral roads
lead from Fayetteville to the
fouthward, bcficle the pofl road.
The v acer courleson this route,
cjuny confequence, have bridg

ordt r.

tiouds of public entertainment
on mis road, if 10, at what dil
tances ?
Bth. If nor, are there proper
perfons, well circurn (lanced in
point of a iradlcr, &c. to keep
good houfe ?
In ardvwi, I can only fay,
that cn pa. -of the road toF table
accommodations are to be had.
from 51012 miles apart, and
that more may he readily got

bufinefs and gain.
c,th. ib it a n >ad of great tra
vel ; is the travelling increaf

I do not think the travelling
fo great to the Couth of Fayette
ydie, as north of itj bn: when
it is-- remembered, that a con

generally in North-Carolma, fo

Several mechanics, in the t wn
of Fayetteville, have riicn into

upoh the man and not on die

* Ala fores of timber, plank,

At Fayetteville a decent houfe

the average price of iron per

I prclurne iron t s to be Ih ',
without difficulty, at all the (
towns and (lores on the road,
at about 7 to 8 cents ptr ib.
at Fayetteville 120 dollars per
ton ; ic is made in abundance
in the upper part of the (late,
and brought by waggons, to the
middle country where imp >rt
ed iron is aifo to be had.
Blacldmiths arc to be found in
all our town.'-, and often on the
road. They charge half add- j

which lurnifhcs many ot our
laddlers; there is an txtenfive
tan yard at Fayetteville, and
at I .umber ton, and 1 prefume at
Raleigh and Warrenton, as well
as many other places. I be
lieve coarje leather, for barrels,
abounds. There are laddlers
and harnefs-rnakers at Rakish
and Fayetteville, though not°as
ex ten five as the places require ;
at Mil {borough, 36 miles from
Raleigh, are Ibme good work
men m that line. I am con
vinced a good man, in this line, j
would make a fortune at Fay- I

believe.
