Lumberton Dry (leaning ( <t. EMD!KL. McKEH t . Mgr.. !'hnne 94 We (lean Everything No Bid For Leas Than $31,000 Considered For First Nat. Bank Assets No Announcement Made as t ' Fur ther Steps—$25,000 to S35.000 I'rohably dan he Collected and Fourth ti^idend is Expected. Uncollcf ted assets of First Natiourl Hank of Lumberton. consisting lurge ]y of insolvent notes and judgments, were offered for sa!e at pubiic auc tion here on Friday. There were a considerable number of bidders on hand, but after considerabic effort the iargest bid offered was $5,000 by Mr. A. E. White of Lumberton. Re ceiver Maicoim S, McConihc finaiiy announced a bid in the sum of $31, 000 in the name of the Mortgage Loan & Investment Co., trustee. It is i understood that the uncoUcctcd as sets had been carefuiiy examined for the comptroller's office and had been appraised prior to the saie as being reasonabiy worth $31,000 and the re ceiver woulti not entertain a hid for iess than this sum. It is not known whether the assets wit! be again ad- ^ vertised or just what further action wiii be taken. The receiver stated white here that an effort is being made to ctosc the trust at this time,; because most of the valuable notes have been collected and the amount! that could be realized from the re maining assets would not justify the ! large expense of continuing the re ceivership, and that it was to the in-, terest of depositors to close the trust at the earliest date possible, provided! a fair amount could be realized by an immediate sale. Mr. T. L. Johnson, who has been j acting as attorney for the receiver, says that in his opinion between $25, 000 and $35,000 probably tan be col lected from the remaining notes and judgments and depositors will ulti mately realize this sum from tire same. He says several lawyers and business men checked the notes and judgments during the week prior to the saie and he thinks the estimate of the others was approximately the same as his. An examination of the list <pf as sets sold shows that a large majority of them are judgments adm^edly worthlcssh Among the larger ItenM arc judgments around Cdut$e&3 amounting to some $15,000,' ajHKpp collcctable; judgments ties at Hopewell, Va., amounting to six or eight thousand dollars; judg ments- on stock assessments, which are uncollcctablc, amounting to more than $25,000. Among the other large judgments that are worthless are Barber-Paschal! Lumber Co., $2500; Brett Engineering & Contracting Co., $5,000; Chas. B. Brown, $1800; W. L. Buck, $1,000; O. L. Joyner, $4,000; Lumberton Motor Car Co., $7,500; McAllister Hardware Co., $7,500; .1. P. Newman & Co., $7,500; Robeson Fatming Incorporativc, $7,000; Robe son Warehouse Co., $8,200; Squires & Co., $1,500. Fifty-five per cent has already been paid depositors and it is expected that a fourth dividend will la- declar ed at an early date.

Thousands of Dollars Will Be Brought Into County As Result of New Industry Taking Place of Cotton. LACK 4 CARS HAVING ENOUGH ON ONE DAY Three Shipments from Fairmont and Two from St. Pauls Will He Made This Week. Eleven carloads of beans were shipped by the truckers of the Fair mont section last week, the totn) number of hampers betng 0, PiH, ami thousands of debars wii) fiow into the lower part of the county within the next few days as the lesuit of this new industry which is taking the place of cotton. An Amazing S'ght. Fairmont has for several years h ui <[uite a reputation as a tobaceo mar ket, but on Friday of last week those who have been accustomed to taking their "weed" there for sale watched with amazement a sight that was even greater—Scores and score;, sof "wagwwt; trw&hs *nd* other waiting in line for hours at the time to get the graders of beans that iavr hecome famous as "Fairmont Firsts." Two refrigerator cars were there for that day, but beans went to Fairmont In such quantities unti! when the day's work was over, the two had been ioaded and enough beams had been graded and packed away on the cot ton platform and at other piaces to fib four addit'onai cars, which were teiegraphed for and ioaded Saturday morning. Growers were there with from as smalt quantities as two hampers to as iurge as 25 or HO on one wagon. iwencc.ars. The shipments last week from Fairmont made !2 cars that have been sent from that piace this season. On Friday of the week before St. Pauls and Fairmont sent a car together, and on Tuesday and Thursday St. Pauls shipped a car of beans each day. Tuesday of this week St. Pauls will thip a car of demonstration-fed hogs, also a ear of beans. Returns from th9 first car sent from Fairmont were $5.00 per hamper for No. 1 and $4,50 per hamper for No. 2. Based on the market price Saturday of an average of $4 per hamper, the beans sent from Fairmont last week ought to net the farmers of the county ,$25, M < 2. Other Places Shipping But Fairmont is not the only place from which beans raised in the coun ty are being marketed. As stated above, St. Pauls is shipping them right along. Many of the farmers in the lower end of the county are also taking theirs to Lake View. S. F. The money which these beans will bring into Robeson county, if the price remains firm until thc^ are marketed, will come as a great relief t„ farmers and business men, who are going through a period of depres sion on account of the low price of cotton. .The industry will help to off set the/low price of cotton and enable the farmers to start truck-growing in real earnest. They are praying that the market remain good until theirs reaches it ' Shipping Bays. Shipments will l<e made this week from Fairmont on Monday. Wednes day and Friday and from St. Pauls on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mr. (,). f). Dukes, county agent, says that farmers may have no fear of there not being enough cars to take care of the beans this week, for experienc has taught that the associations must be prepared.
