Held In Salisbury Judge Pritchard orating and the seasons equable" and ben eficent, there were practically no markets in the interior for any surplus that might remain after the wants of the sett-tiers had been supplied baiter and trade being the only methods yof exchange. There were few If any manufactories, flour and grist mills being as a rule the extent of the operating machinery of the colony.

Jjapie was so that clothing for the men and boys was readily and cheaply obtained from the hides of the red-deer and raccoon, while the fields of flax and the fleeces of sheep provided gowns for the gentler sex, among whom the bleaching, breaking and hatcheling of flax, the picking, washing, carding, spinning, reeling, twisting, and weaving of wool were regular and engrossing occupations. The gin not then having been Invented, there was but little cotton grown or used in the manufacture of clothing among the sturdy colonists. Methodism had not at that time made its appearance in America, but the Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Catholics and Episcopalians were more or less active towns among the sparsely-settled, regions of the interior and the few towns and villages scattered from the sea-coast to Salisbury. The church balldings themselves were generally speaking a few rude log structures which also served as school houses, wherever the services of a' teacher could be secured, which probably was not very often. The population of all the colonies in 1753 was only 1.053,000.

Weem'a "Life of Washington." Notwithstanding the abundance and cheapness of land, however, there seemed to be among some of the early pioneers a greater desire for game, solitude and the free and independent life of the wilderness. The limits of North Carolina were supposed to extend from the Atlantic ocean on the east to the Mississippi river on the west. As the settlements gradually extended westward the more restless and adventurous of our ancestors invariablyj inevitably, maintained their homes some miles in advance and nearer the setting sun hunting, trapping, fishing until ioon the foothills of the Blue Ridge began to harbor, here and there, at great intervals between the lowly huts and camping places of our forebears. while the eastern settlers were thus continuously encroaching upon the mountains from the east. France and Spain from the south and west, were as constantly trespassing upon the western border of our colony, coming from the banks of the Mississipi river.

So that before long the great mountains, rising range upon range to the ultimate sky, from the Cumberland on the "west to the Blue Ridge on the east, were the only real terra Incognito of all tne regions of the Southland. For James Adair, trapper and trader. Is known to have been even to the tawny waters of the Mississippi itself, and resided with the Chero-kees and the Chickasaws from 1735 To 1775. Others, too had penetrated into the regions west of the mountains, following the headwaters of the Savannah into Tennessee, and had extended around the cabin fires of the east the fame of this wonderland of savannah, stream and woodland. What a wikl, free life was theirs! How they must have reveled in the sentient silences of the dim woodlands, the flower-spangled meads, the perfumed.
