PROPOSED PACKING HOUSE
Lumberton Business Men Much Im
pressed With Explanation of Prop
, osition to Establish Packing House
in Wilmington They Subscribe
Stock A Business That Ought to
Bring Prosperity to This Section
if Fanners Will Raise Hogs and
Cattle A Great Wealth Producer .
Lumberton business men who heard
Tuesday Messrs. Jno. W. Greer of
Moultrie, Ga.f and W. W. Love of
Wilmington explain the advantages
this section would reap from the es
tablishment of a packing house in
Wilmington were very much impress
ed with the Bound business sense be
hind the idea and several subscribed
for stock. Messrs. Greer and Love
went from Lumberton to Fairmont
and presented the matters to busi
ness men of that town Tuesday af
ternoon. w
A meeting of business men was
held in the commissioners' room . at
the court house Tuesday morning to
hear Mr. Greer, who is helping to
raise stock for the proposed packing
house in Wilmington, and Mr. Love,
a wholesale grocer ofWilmington.who
is chairman of the committee that is
raising the stock. The room was
about half full of business men who
had been reached by phone and per
sonal invitation, and the county com
missioners, who were here to hold
a special meeting, also were present.
Mr. Greer talked smoothly, easily,
convincingly about' the packing house
business an dwhy business men and
farmers of Lumberton and Robeson
county should be interested in the
venture. Listening to Mr. Greer,
you can just fairly see Robeson and
other counties in this section rolling
in wealth in a few years if the peo
ple of these counties get behind the
Wilmington packing house with their
support and go to raising hogs and
cattle. And the beauty about the
picture he paints is that he can prove
it by what has happened in other
places . Moultrie, Ga., from which
place Mr. Greer hails, is in a sec
tion which formerly was an all-cotton
section. The farmers were debt-
ridden and poor, wit hno prospect
of ever being able to pay off the
mortgages A packing house was
started there with fear and tremb
ling because it was an experiment to
try it out in a country where the
farmers were wedded to cotton. The
results were astonishing, even though
it was known that the packing house
business is the dividend-payingest
business that was ever started, :ind
the greatest prosperity promoter. In
the Manufacturer's Record 20 months
after this house was started was
told a marvelous story of general
prosperity in all that section. Farm
ers were, paying off mortgages, the
women were dressing better, more
comforts were f oun J in farm homes,
merchants were do'ng almost double
tre business they d'd bi'fore the pack
ing house came, and the country wa
fast getting on a cash basis.
Mr. Greer told about this and
more. He declarsd that Robeson is
very much the same kind of country
. i . ?
and predicted tnat sue nprosperuy a:
will never be known under the air-
cotton plan would follow the es
tablishment of a packing house in
Wilmineton. It would do more to
bring about diversification than any
thing else. Everything that can be
erown on the farm can be turned
into money. It furnishes a market
for everything. A packing house
furnishes a clearing house for the
farm. Farmers can make more
money on hogs and cattle than in
any other way. Farmers of this
section can beat the West raising
meat because they have 25 to 30
different feeds, whereas the farmers
of the West have only 5 or 6; and
the Western farmer has more ex
pense in housing and caring for his
hogs and cattle. Yet North Carolina
buvs $35,000,000 worth of meat year
ly from the West, and the South buys
$350,000,000 worth. They should be
selling meat instead of buying.
When the packing house is estab
lished in Wilmington it will furnish
a market right at their doors for all
the hogs and cattle the farmers of
Robeson and other counties in this
section can raise. Mr. Love explain
ed that it was desired to make this
a co-operative affair, hence no one
was being asked to take much stock
but effort was being made to get
all the business men and farmers of
this entire section to take stock. It
was explained that (fewer packing
houses have failed than any other bus
iness, that they have made more mil
lionaires than any other business,
that duriner the past 16 years the av
erage dividends declared by packing
houses have been around 30 per cent.
It is proposed to get the Wilming
ton plant in operation in about ; 8
months. The plant is to cost $75,000
and will have a capacity of 200 hogs
and 30 cattle daily.
COUNTY HOME PROBLEM
Commissioners Hold Special Meeting
to Discuss Perplexing question
The county commissioners were in
a called session here Tuesday for the
purpose of discussing the idea of
selling the old county home and buy
ing a farm and building a new home.
While two or three farms which
have been offered for sale for a
county home were looked over by
the board, nothing definite was de
cided upon. The board ordered at
a meeting some months ago that the
old home be sold, but no sale has yet
been made.
Mr. J. F. Ravbon returned Sat
urday from Bladen county where

Correspondent Protracted Meet
ing Gaddysville (Fairmont, R. 1), Sept.
13 Saturday was indeed a pleasure
ful, profitable day for your corres
pondent, it being our good fortune
to spend the day in the thriving pro
gressive "city by the Lumbee", to
mingle with the Democrats from all
over" and the hospitable entertain
ing people of Lumberton, which town
knows how to entertain a stranger
that comes within her gates . We
enjoyed everything, especially the
Virginian Governor's address. We
never heard a better. t
Lumberton is a city that is peopled
with the salt of the earth, a people
that can make a stranger feel as if
he was at home; and we know that
they are God's own pepole. 1
We saw many strides in prosperity
since our last trip. The new hotel
is rapidly Rearing completion and
will be one of the best class, a credit
to any city.
The person that travels the coun
try roads with a "nag" these days
is continually pestered with Fords,
especially when the roads are as
sandy as they are now, by turning
out and in. We wish they all had
a Ford and road to themselves.
Gaddysville is 'getting to be one
more busy place. Right out in God 3
open iron horses lash through the
fields blowing their whistles, scores
of railroad hands come and go and
automobiles continually pass.
Fall is almost here, the season
which affords the poet something to
draw his pictures from and the ar
tist as well. ' . ..
Hpreafter we shall try to write
to The Robesonian twice each week
