Vineyards Draw Northerners to Southern Pines Area
Prof W F Massey visited Southern Pines to inspect local grape operations and was surprised by the large vineyards planted and tended by settlers from the Middle and New England States. They show stronger grape culture than the local population, as inferred from success in the business. A live alligator ten feet four inches long was brought to Newbern after being captured near Haywood's Creek, Trent River, by Captain Alf Tillman and two colored men. The animal was hauled to shore, secured, and towed to the city.
