Along fha Way Bully Kllltttf Some of Duplin's most < beautiful buildings are her I churches. A great number of I the county churches have s been organized for many ; years, like the Rose Hill I Baptist Church, founded in t 1900. The freedom of worship is \ one of many freedoms which f has drawn people to S America. And, Duplin has r some of the oldest churches e in the nation within her I boundaries. Grove is one of ? the nation's oldest Presby- f terian churches and Wells c Chapel, which was founded t before Duplin was divided, is 1 one of the oldest Baptist c churches in the nation. Like a many Duplin churches. Rose t Hill Baptist Church can trace r its history to Wells Chapel. t Wells Chapel, originally c known as Bulltail. was or- y ganized in 1755. From Wells o Chapel grew Concord Baptist t Church in 1807, Magnolia h Baptist in 1835 and Kenans- v ville Bantist Church in 1837. t g - - ? ? According to the November f 3, 1950 issue of THE d DUPLIN TIMES, the Rose t< Hill Baptist Church was b organized by members from s Magnolia, Island Creek, b Dobson's Chapel and Corinth 1 Baptist churches about 1900. J The first regular service of g the Rose Hill Baptist Church S was held November 18, 1900. C Services were held on the second floor of Jacob Carr's n store building on the east a side of the Wilmington and b Weldon Railroad. The 25 d charter members included c W.A. Brooks, W.B. Hawes. a Pinkney Rich. J.M. Hen- a erson, W.C. Savage, R.M. ti Malpass, T.O. Swinson, b George Rogers. W.D. Hen- a derson. Esther Hawes, Mar- C garet Savage. Lessie Boone, C Susan J. Cox. Callie Hen- i lerson. Nancy M. Swinson, jott Blizzard, Catherine 3radshaw. Maggie Heath tnd Katie Rogers. The first >astor was the Reverend J.B. -larrell and he served six nonths. The Baptist congregation vas offered the use of the Methodist Chapel each third iunday afternoon until the tew Rose Hill church could xect a building. J.C. Mal ard of the Methodist con ;regation donated a lot to the laptists for the construction if their church and work legan in the fall of 1901. The tose Hill Baptist Church was ompleted in 1903 and the nnual session of the Eastern Association was held at the lew church. The original luilding consisted of only a hapel. Within the next ears, under the leadership .f fhp R#?v/f?rr?nH I M Prop wo Sunday school rooms, a laptistry and parsonage tere built. And. later, under he guidance of the Reverend k.L. Brown, five more Sun lay school rooms were added i) the church. The church iegan plans for future con truction and established a iuilding fund in the fall of 939 and the Reverend J.L. ones helped the congre ;ation reach a total of 90,000 before he resigned in Ictoberof 1943. The following May a fi ancial committee was ppointed to make plans to uild a new church. The esign and building specifi ations were drawn by Coffey nd Olson of Lenoir and pproved by the congrega ion February 10, 1947. TTie uilding contract was warded to E.F. Taylor 'ompany of Goldsboro. 'hurch services were held n the public school buildings until the basement of the new church was enclosed for use as a temporary chapel. The cornerstone, which had been donated by Palmer Stone Corpora***) of Albe marie, was laid November 25, 1947 and the Rose Hill Baptist Church chapel was used for its first services the second Sunday in June of 1950. The church was con strutted debt fee using the $90,000 building fund and dedication services were held in November of 1950, The membership in 1950 was 325 Hog Farmers Face Hard Times I Hog farmers ("pork pro ducers" in the euphemism of the day) face hard times again as feed costs soar in relation to market hog prices. "We had three bad years and l'/i pretty good years and that keeps us hanging in there." said Wendell Murphy of Rose Hill. "The cyclical nature of the hog business has always been with us and I don't see it changing." James Norris, Columbus County livestock extension agent at Whiteville, said "jumping in and out of the hog business won't get a farmer anywhere." Norris believes farmers should cut costs where possible and "hang in there" during de pressed periods. In doing this they will be in position to reap profits when the hog market strengthens, he said. Despite the ups and downs of the hog market. Iowa farmers, who produce more hogs than any other group of farmers the world has ever seen, have called their hogs "the mortgage lifters" for a century. The National Farmers Or ganisation. with head quarters in Corning. Iowa, has reported that farmers have sold off a large number of breeding gilts and sows, which will mean a substantial ICUUV.IIUII III Ul'g IIUII1UCI3 and pork supplies by the middle of 1984. Murphy and Norris see hog production assuming a more important position in North Carolina's farm economy in the next few years as farmers are forced to diversify in the face of tobacco limitations. Some favorable factors are the weather, warm winters in comparison with those of the Midwest, and plenty of water. Packing plant capacity has increased in North Carolina and Virginia and the major and specialty packers of the area are building reputations for quality. Murphy said. He said packers have the capa city to process more than 20.000 hogs a day and plant expansion is continuing. Major area packers are Lund; of Clinton, which is doubling its capacity. Dinner Run out of paper coffee filters? Cut a paper towel to the right size. Bell of Wilson and Smith field, and Gwaltney oi Smithvield, Va. In Columbus County, Norris said, most farms arc quite small, lending them selves to production of hogs, especially feeder pigs, al though farmers coulc produce more corn to feec their animals. Murphy produces hogs or I the Murphy tarms. He also f contracts with about two dozen farmers to grow out hogs supplied by Murphy : farms, a production system developed many years ago in , -the broiler industry and now spread to turkey and egg | production, as well. I The independent producer takes more risks, including i thr risk of bankruptcy if he i becomes overextended, but receives more profit than the contract grower, A program operator like Murphy takes the risk in this system but also takes the profit. The grower is paid a fixed amount per head or per pound of livestock or poultry produced under the contract.
