Churchill Itragaw, a forestry graduate of State college, manages the 15,000 tract and in addition to handling the landscaped grounds about the old colonial home, carries on a plant nursery and much fores- t try development. Orton Plantation belongs to J. L. Sprunt of Wilmington and the home is a fine example of old southern architecture. The original parts of the house were built in 1725 and additions have been made as late as 1910. It is located on the River road 17 miles south of Wilmington and 9 miles north of South|>ort. Just south of the gardens, and on the plantation, is the ruins of St. Phillip's Church and the site of colonial uovernur nj??3 i palace where the first armed j resistance to the State act up- j on American soil occurred in 1766. Between the church and ! the river arc the ruins of the colonial village of Brunswick and the old breastworks of the j Confederate Fort Anderson. This was one of the last strongholds to fall to the victorious northern troops. Orton was t used as a hospital at this time anil was probably saved from destruction as a resnlt. * * * j Mr. Bragaw grows all the I plants used for replacement in j Serving 71 Military Camps in Dixie Seventy-one military camps n n A oct-okltclimpnfc. where more than 570,000 men will be in training, are located in i the nine states served by the Southern Bell.

Necessary switchboards and other equipment and more than 66,000 miles of telephone wire in cables have already been installed. Additional equipment will be provided as required. Nearly $40,000,000 will be spent this year by Southern Bell for new construction and general expansion to meet the South's increasing telephone needs. New central offices, buildings and local and long distance lines are being put into service, and the net gain in new telephones is expected to reach 115,000 this year.

Brunswick county has an area of 605,000 acres of which 34,148 acres were in cultivation last year. There are 2.140 farms which means that the average sized farm is only about 15 acres.
