THE NORTH-OAROJLINA FAKMER. Mat 1888 Grange Land Bureau, 8ECRETAR1 OFFICE, 1 North' Carolina State Granffe, - i .'-. i - Mount PiKASANTjK. C , Jan. 24, '83. Dkah Sir and Brother : At the recent R.rmnn.1 mfifitinc of the North Carolina State Grange, Patrons of I Husbandry, the following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a Committee of three be : Grange (the secretary of State Grange to be Chairman of the Committe) to devise Elans for co-operating with State and ubordinate Granges in Northern and New England States in the establishment : 6f factories in North Carolina, and solicit- lUg liUCU UJHIICiaVIUU ill BGIilllUj TVVILIIJT and industrious Northern farmers on lands belonging to members of , Subordinate j Granges throughout North Carolina. j In accordance with the above resolution the Master, W. R. Williams, Esq., ap pointed the undersigned as the Committee. As Chairman of the Committee I' submit to you the plans adopted by the Committee -J V. 1. . ; t I uuu asji yuur.ueari.jr uu-uf.itfrt.uuii auu as sistance. We will be glad to receive from you any suggestions that you think will aid in this move. I I I V THE COMMITTEE S PLANS ARE I , i- . . :4 . i ; ; ' Fibst. The Secretary of each Subordi i nate Grange, or I some ; on? he may i designate, will be appointed by this Com- mlttee as the duly qualified officer, who shall be known! and recognized as the head ol the Lands - and Homes Depart ment for his respective Grange and the territory-it covers' and he hall be known ; as the Commissioner of Lands and Homes. SwnnKn TTis rintv will hps that nf liaf. j ing lands belonging to any brother mem ber who may oe nesirous ot aisposing oi part or all of his 'property and the care of with a. view ofi buvinar. He will be exr pccted to meet the land buyer at the near est railroad station, and carry him to his own home and show him such courtesy as I may be within j his power. Besides the j compensation hereinafter named he shall ' charge the prospectors, or visiting brothers from the North j the following amounts, which must be collected from the prospec- : . T- 1 ,1 1 ,1 : J t i tor ;. xuaru ouu luugiuj; ci uajr uue uui- i lar. use of horse and buggy going to and from nearest' station and while showing land for sale at the rate of one dollar per day.' These amounts are in every instance to be collected before the visitor leaves the i home of - the Commissioner of Lands and j Homes. The Commissioner of Lands and i Homes will ,be charged with the further I duty of doing all in his power to encourage i the establishment of manufacturing enter I' prises by inducing the people to offer tracts of land and as much money as they can afford as a bonus to persons who will come in and establish"; factories Persons own ing three to four hundred acres of land can well afford 1 to . give fifty to one hun l dred acres free of j charge and the - citizens in the neighborhood would do well to make up a sum of money to offer lo any responsible party who would come in and establish a factory suitable to the location, to cost not less than from ten to twenty thousand dollars. I The citizens of towns . near by will, no doubt, be glad to offer in ducements to factories. The establish ment of manufacturing enterprises will be of great advantage to the farming classes, as they will 'give a home market for farm product. Tiie factories of the New Eng land States have been the means of enrich ing the farmers, and without them the farmers ef that section could not .possibly make a living from their rdcky, hilly lands, which are covered' with snow and ice almost six months out of twelve. The selling of lands and establishment of fac tories, through the efforts of the Grange, will add .to the good work our Order has already accomplished, and with the aid our Northern brethren can give us much can be done in this line. Every year many people- from the Northern Granges are seeking homes in the West and .South, looking for farming - lands and localities for factories." "Our brethren North wifl be glad to co-operate with us by sending such persons to us, knowing that they will meet with a brotherly welcome ind kind .consideration. The move must be made on a business basi?i The Commissioner in charge must devote time to the work and must receive compensation. Therefore the Committee have agreed on the following plan : Each person having lands to list must pay to the Commissioner one dollar, which is to be used for printing a de scription of the land and mailing to each Subordinate Grange in the Northern arid New England States. Ninety cents of each dollar collected ' for this purpose must be sent to the Secretary of the Committee, J. T. Patrick; at Raleigh, who will com pile the description of land once every two weeks and forward same to the Subordi nate Granges. The Commissioner will re tain ten cents out of each dollar to. pay for postage, stationary, and incidentals. The dollar will be all the charges until a sale bf land is made when the following com missions will be collected from the land owner. Ten per cent, on all sales when, the amount is three hundred dollars and less.; eight per cent, when the sales are be tween three hundred and one thousand dollars"; six per cent, when the saies, are between one and two thousand dollars ; five per cent, where the sales are above two thousand dollars All commission s shall be divided as follows r The Com missi6ner of Lands and Homes shall re tain for his own benefit three tenths and turn oyer to the Treasurer of his local Grange two-tenths. The remaining five tenths shall be forwarded to the chairman of the Committee, who will distribute theT same as follows :. Two-tenths will be sent to the Northern Commissioner of Lands and Homes who sends the purchaser to us ; one-tenth ! to the Treasurer of the Grange of which he is' a member, to be used for the benefit' of the Grange, and one-tenth to the Treasurer of the North Carolina State Grange, said amount to be set aside to j be used as a State Lecture Fund. -' . The necessary blanks and 'instructions will be sent as soon as the name of the Commissioner is forwarded to the chair man of this Committee, v Again asking your early attention i to this important work, I am, Yours truly, , Signed) H.
