In my drive last week I stopped
at Smithonia In passing to note
what changes had been made since
the death of Col. Smith. The
manufacturing and other buildings
are still standing and in a good
state of preservation# but the oil
mill and some other enterprises
have been abandoned, but Smith
onia is still a hustling and impor
tant place. The barns ana out
buildings are still there, but of
course not as extensively used as
during ‘Col. Smith’s lifetime. But
the farming lands, while divided
into different settlements are in a
fine state of cultivation and the
same system a« practiced by Col*
Smith is continued. Several of the
men who own farms sliced from
the original tract lived for years
with Col. Smith and were trained
by him. They all make it a prac
tice to grow food stuff at home;
and what most attracted my notice
wgrfc the large number of negroes
at work in the fields. This is one
section not invaded by emigration
agents, and very few colored peo
ple have moved away. This is due
to the fact that they were well fed
and given Work by the farmers.
Col* James M. Smith began life
nfter the close of tho war between
the states by
once contemplated building a rail
road from Smithonia to TignaU, m
Wilkes county, and also putting a
cotton fa"fctory on his place to be
operated by negroes. He said ho
could pick out enough bright girls
on his place to run the looms. But ^
he did not carry these projects to trip to Cornelia last week,
