BRUNSWICK FARMERS NOW SHIPPING HOGS IN CARLOAD LOTS Initial Carload Shipped Last Week; Raisers Are Paid $1, 300 for First Shipment What is declared by many to have been the first carload of lWgs ever to be shipped from Brunswick county was forwarded by rail last week via the Wilmington, Brunswick and South ern railroad. The hogs were of a splendid variety and netted the shippers approximately $1,300, according to the Brunswick county farm demonstrator, who in no small way was responsible for the pro motion of the hog raising movement Inaugurated among the farmers some time ago. ,_ Under the old free range plan hogs were raised in Brunswick county, hut they were of a very poor variety and netted the owners practically nothing; even in meat. However, the farm demonstration agent began the ad\o eation of blooded hog raising among the farmers many months ago and since that time many splendid hogs have been produced. The carload shipment made last week was the first made of the better class of hogs that are now.being raised. The farm demonstrator found it ex ceedingly difficult to interest the farmers in the proposition at first, but after long and consistent effort' the farmers have been made to realize the great profit to be derived from hog raising and many of them are falling in line with the movement. ■ It Is expected that the first move ment is going to give great impetus to the idea, and that many that have not vet fallen in line will now do so. Owing to the splendid natural conditions ex isting in Brunswick county for hog raising, it is believed that great profit will be derived by the citizens of that county from the new scheme. J.

Governor and Attorney General Will Carry Matter Into Courts, Announced That Governor Cameron Morrisbn and Attorney General Manning are to immediately take action in the courts against the dismemberment by the At lantic Coast Line and Southern Rail roads of the old Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad will come as good news to WilmlngtOnians. Announcement that it is the purpose of the governor and the attorney gen eral to institute a suit against the C. F. & Y. V. dismemberment was made in Raleigh Saturday night, according to news reaching the city from Greens boro. Neither the governor nor attor ney general could state just what sort of action will be prosecuted nor where the case would be carried. The fight against the dismember ment of the line was re-instituted in Wilmington, Fayetteville and Gjeens boro some months ago and sin'ce that time a strong sentiment favoring the , placing of the great*"east and west rail road in the hands of one railroad for operation has been built up. The gen- , eral assembly investigated the sale of the old railroad by which one end want to the Southern and the other to the Coast Line, and the recent announce ment of the governor and the attorney general is the result of the investiga ting committee’s report. It is believed that the state will first proceed by having the attorney general of the United States to prosecute this action as a violation of the federal law. The late Governor Bickett gave a great amount of study to this dismember ment which he regarded as a rank vio lation of the law.
