OMBE Conducts Business Conference PEMBROKE ELECTRIC Highway 711 East The North Carolina Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE) recently coordinated a two-day conference that was of much benefit to business men across the state. The North Carolina Buyers- Sup pliers Conference was held at the Scott Pavilion. North Car olina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC on December 7-8, 1976. Co-sponsoring the con ference were OMBE and 15 other organizations and state departments that are associa ted with Business and Econo mic Development Programs throughout the state of North Carolina. Representing Lum- bee Regional Development Association was Gary Deese, ONAP Directorof the General Community Programming Project. The purpose of the confe rence was to allow representa- . fives of small manufacturing firms and businesses to have across the table interviews with purchasing agents of larger manufacturers, institu tions. local, state, and federal government. These nmiioLic- turing firms are constantly seeking new suppliers for products of competitive prices. The Buyers- Suppliers Con ference assisted these firms in reaching that goal by provid ing an opportunity for their representatives to discuss with small to medium sized firms the possiblity of doing busi ness. The information dissemi nated at this conference was of great benefit to many minority owned businesses in Robeson County: especially two specific publications- “The North Car olina Minority Business Direc tory’’ and “The Buyers Guide to Minority Businesses- Mi nority Purchasing Council.” They were specifically pub lished to assist in identifying minority suppliers of products and or .services. Both publica tions should be used as nierchanisms for obtaining economic parity among minor ity businesses, as a referral source, a/"I as a relevant tool. These publications will pro vide specific assistance to buyers who arc seeking to THECABOUNA INDIAN VOICX 521-2626 ffh e Life and Times of ^Henry Berry Lowty first of the Lowry Gang" members to perish was Zach McLaughlin, the only white member of the gang. He was a poor white who had been raised among the Indians in and around the Scuffletown area. Known among the whites as a thief and labelled ‘white trash’ by them, Mc Laughlin had long been sus pected of being a follower of Henry Berry Lowry. Thinking the whites still had no hard core evidence to implicate him with the Lowry Gang, McLaughlin was sur prised at his mother’s home where he resided by Sheriff Roderick McMillan. Although no evidence was found on the premises, he was taken to Red Banks, tried and found guilty of robbing the home of one Mr. Register. Sheriff McMil lan then took him to Lumber- ton to serve his sentence in the not-so-secure jail there. As many Lowry Gang members had managed before him, McLaughlin escaped and join ed Henry Berry and his co- herents full-time in the dense and jungle-like Back Swamp. After roaming with and parti cipating in the many activities and depredations committed by the Lowry Gang, it was only a matter of time before he. too, was outlawed and a bounty placed upon his head. On the night of December 21, 1870, Henry Biggs met Mc Laughlin at the home of another white, Noah Duncan. After supper, the two whites left together. According to Mrs. Mary C. Norment (author of ‘The Low- rie History’), “McLaughlin drew a pistol on Biggs and commenced cursing him, tell ing him that he had tried to persuade him long enough to join their band, and that he should compel him that night to go and aid him in robbing some cabins belonging to turpentine hands in the neigh borhood.” Being unarmed, Biggs ac companied McLaughlin, and the occupants of the cabins being sound sleep, they en countered no difficulties in robbing the cabins. Reported ly. McLaughlin was drunk and had traveled but a short distance with the stolen loot before becoming tired and sleepy. Biggs was ordered to start a camp fire. According to Mrs. Mary C. Norment, who related the account given by Biggs, VAs soon as the fire was made, Zach lay down (making Biggs lie down with him) with his gun under his head, and a belt around his waist with three large sized pistols in it. Soon he was snoring loudly.” Biggs then proceeded to withdraw one of the pistols, and holding the mussle of the gun to the back of McLaughlin’s head, he pulled the trigger. Most likely, the bullet snuffed out Mc Laughlin’s life instantly. Not taking any chances, however, the man who Mrs. Norment would have us believe was an innocent man caught up in a cruel situation, “leaped over the body and fired again, the ball coming through near the ear.” Be it cruel fate or actual luck, Henry Biggs concealed the body, went and contacted a justice of the peace, and collected $200,(M) for his trou bles. The last paragraph in ‘The Lowrie History’ dealing with the murder of Zach McLaugh lin relates: “The reader will recollect that McLaughlin was the murderer of Owen C. Norment (the author’s hus band) in March preceding his death. He was considered by all who knew him as more brutal than any of the gang.” If he was more brutal than Henry Biggs who shot a sleeping man through the back of the head, and then leaped over the body to shoot him once again from a different angle, then all this writer has to add is “God rest his soul!” Continued next w^. establish meaningful purcha sing relations with minority or disadvantaged companies.
