City of Oaks in North Carolina shines in reflective stroll
A correspondent titled Barclan from Raleigh recounts a morning walk through the capital’s streets. He notes Deaf and Dumb and Blind institutions, the Capitol, electric-car wires, Alma Mater, and a growing cotton trade, contrasting beauty with the cotton compress’s ugliness. He visits Nash Square, Cottage Hotel ruins, and the old oaks, reflecting on memory, aging, and the City of Oaks as North Carolina’s loveliest city.
