FRIDAY, Augi ST 0, 1901.
LET US PULL TOGETHER.
\ century after the town of
Srpithfield was incorporated but
little progress hud been made.
The sleepy old town on the banks
of ttu- Neuse was but little larger
than it was in 1800. Its people
bad ever been slow and conserva
tive. content with their lot, each
for himself, never looking to, or
caring for, t h?-flit are, when a large
nuB prosperous town might take
th# place of the sleepy village of
the past.
A few years ago things changed
ai^d the town took on new life.
T&p? in a short while this progress
w&? checked, through fires and
ot;))arcauses, and the town lapsed
into its old-time lethargy.
About the close of 185)7 and the
begtnning of 1898 a new revival
of the material and commercial
interests of the town broke out, a
new spirit controlled its citizens
and a strong and healthful
grow th has been maintained ever
siflpe.
This new spirit of enterprise
aijtl energy was lirst s?s?n in the
young men who organized the
Kflftithfield Tobacco Warehouse
Company. This was followed by
the organization of another
warehouse company, the organi
>n and e ?' ub'ishmenfc of the
Bank of Smithfield.the Brooklyn
Manufacturing Company, the
third warehouse, and later The
Smithfield Cotton Mill. And just ;
Hi the cotton mill was nearing
completion some of our enter-1
prising citizens organized the1
Smithfield Improvement Coin
pgmy. Tbi s company is now build-1
itlg a largely nd commodious three
sttorv brick hotel which will bean
oBraunent to the town.
The establishment of a tobacco
market here has done much for
the town and we feel justified in
stating that no market in North
Carolina has held up and main
tained higher prices than have
otrr tobacconists. They deserve
praise and should receive
the encouragement of our citizens
for their untiring efforts to build
up a lively and strong market
fibre.
While the town is growing and
its enterprises thriving is the best
time to lay the solid foundation
fflfv future success and prosperity.
How can tnis be done? is the
question that confronts our citi
zens to-dav. This question has
fjj{fc>n partially answered in the
1.1st few weeks, by the organiza
tion of The Smithfleld Chamber
of Commerce. This organization
is designed to further the com
mercial and manufacturing inter
estsof the to .vn, to unite the busi
ness men of th town into a solid
body to w or . for the general im
provement of our thriving little 1
city along all lines. One of the (
truest of adages is "United we
sbrtrid, divided we fall." J/et us ,
bear this in mind and let every 1
businessman of the town unite
with the ( hamber of Commerce
and work lor the town's upbuild
ing. forgetting self for the time
being.
The Chamber of Commerce, or
ganized less than 30 days ago,
has already been productive of
good to our commercial interests,
and yet onlv a few of our busi- '
uess men en active in its i
\ 1
organization. Much more can
l>e accomplished by united effort.
So let ewer/ man who has the
welfare of Suiithfield at heart go
out to the court house to-night
and become an active member of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Some of the Cubans are anxi
ous that (ieneral Maximo Gomez
should lie first President of the
Republic. General Gomez, who
has done so much for Cuba, is
content for others to hold the
ollices. He positively declines
and recommends that Estrado
l'alma be made President.
