E-10S That Graham Property , I Near Rowland 1 • < Is Going To Be Sold But There’s | Much Speculation As To Who Is Going TonGe* It. ■;- . h m Miii.il > —in I Hitiif / . 4' 'i >«\f bu ;/it t-.-.K m.irr'J wt vi.«I (m'tfo « u - 1 till tUH'i ' It • ir !*rtl i lii : As stated in last Thursday’s issue of The Robesonian, we are now at work trying to sell the Graham property as a whole. The whole of the tract we are selling totals about 320 acres of which about an eight-horse farm is under cultivation with buildings sufficient to 1 take care of same As has been stated, this property containsone of the most attractive home sites to be found any where in Robeson county. For a home the place is ’’beautiful for situation,” and on this place is some of the finest fanning land to be found in the county anywhere. The Lumberton-Bowland highway, as recently surveyed, runs perfectly straight across the Graham farm and we are selling all that part North of the highway and 60 acres across the road directly in front of the old residence. Taking this property as a whole there is no i land anywhere in the county for sale that will anything like compare with it in points of value and location. It is hardly to be excelled in many places in the entire State. This is { , land of a type that does not go begging for a purchaser at anytime, and there is now much speculation as to just who is going to get the place. {■ . Hr. A- W. Pate owns several hundred acres of fine land that adjoins this property and ! he could use the place to a great advantage and he is prepared to buy it, and much more if ( he wants it. . But Mr. Pate is a man that talks only to himself about the things he wants, therefore, there can be no record made of hiswants until they have found expression in ac tion. but be it said, to his honor, he is a man of action. *' Dr. Geo. M. Fate, a man of land scattered all over that part of the great ”8tate of Rob eson”. has land in almost every direction from this property and he is a man with a deep sense of appreciation as to the real value of farm lands. Some two or three years ago j Dr. Pate wanted this Graham property to build him a home on and says at that time he would have been glad to pay $100.00 per acre for the property. ■ He, too, think* the pro ! perty one of the finest located places in the county. Dr. Pate is a man that buys what he | wants, but he, too, gives but feeble expression to his wants in words. Mr. Will McLellan of Rowland, another man that has land scattered in those parts to the extent of about fifteen hundred acres, also knows what he is about when it comes to j land values. He says the Graham property is one of the most attractive home sites to be found anywhere in Robeson county. Mr. iMcLellan is another man rather slow of speech, but loud in action. Yes, somebody is going to buy that land, and who will it be? Yes, and with all this, there is one other naan in the county who does things, stepping V out for action When few folks Are looking and none thinking. That man is Mr. A. B. White of Lumberton. He left last evening for New York, where he expects to spend about three days on business. Just as soon as he returns from this trip he is going to Rowland to look over this property with a view to buying. Yes, who is going to get the place? ? ^ j. The W. K. Bethune Be.
