THE CANNING FACTORY AND OUR
ERS.
FARM-
The re-opening of the Canning
factory i qqt7 an jissuredx fact
investment All will be benifited
and oar town boomed as it ought
to have been years and years
ago.
The Laurinburg Exchange
tells of an Eeatern Carolina
plantar who had been in the to
bacoo business several years and
had averaged $100 per acre dur
ing the whole time and of anoth
er gentleman from the same sec
tion, who rented his tobacco
and on the 20th of this month, to a tenant and realized S56 per
4.
acre for his portion. At that
rate, tobacco culture is the most
profitable business one can en
gage. This is very attractive to
a farmer wno raises cotton for
six cents and sells it for five.
JTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND.
The Public School Fund of the
county apportioned at the Jan
uary session of the County Board
of Education $9,266,31.
This amount was divided as
folic ws.
Richland Township, District
1, $1,837,91. Chocowinity Town
ship, District 2, $1,171,10. Wash
ington Township, District 3,
$189,84,. Long Acre, Town
ship, District 4, 873,92. Bath
Townahip 5, $1,438,78. Pantego
Township, District 6, $993,04.
of Washipgtpn, $1,768,60.
It will be noticed th&l th &
portionmnnt for 1899 is ffiUCh
less than in 1898 the county
difference being $1,213,81. This
is caused by a decrease Mn the
tax list of property and polls as
well as in specific valuations,
such at railroads etc. The State
in '98 gave us $7,05,78. Nothing
this year.
Burton Stilley,
Sec. to Co. B'd of Ed.
(January), that part of our city
where the plant is situated will
be all bustle and a sceheof ac
tivity. For the past several
years this factory has been idle
due to the repealing of the oys
ter law then in vogue by the
General Assembly.
To say the repealing of this
law allowing dredging was a
grave mistake needs no comment
.time has proven the error.
Its an old adage and a true one,
"Time at Jast sets all things
even." The legislature of two
years ago modified the bill, so as
to allow dredging upon a limited
scale :to this modification is due
the determination on the part of
the proprietors of theoyster fac
tory to start up again. The ben
efits of this factory to our town
and this eastern section Is f ai'
reaching. We speak from no
mainary basis but from obe
servatlons gathered whoa the
faotery Wafe in operation several
years ago. More money was
paid out for labor while the
plant operated, than by any two
enterprises inaugurated here.
Every kind of business was
more or less benifited. Homes,
where desolation and want had
been dominant, at last had the
clouds brushed aside and the
smile of happiness rapidly took
a firm grip.
"If the oyster factory would
only open." Could that Screech
owl whistle ;break. the .stillness
these quiet mornings at the can
ning factory, we would haye
better times, " has often been
said in our hearing, by some
laborer who is dependent upon
the sweat of his brow and the
xercise of his muscle, not only
kas such expressions issued from
those in the lowly strata, but
heard to come from others sta
tioned a little higher in the
walks of life as well. Ou peo
ple should rally as a unit and
see to it that this prodigious
enterprise continue to operate.
Our farmers and truckers can
play a conspicuous part in this
drama if they Kyi 11. The canning
factory can operate at least nine
months in the vear if our farm
ors will boin at once to raise
tomatoes, peas, linr beans,
stiing beans etc This scheme
will not only be a roat benitit
to our farmers, but it will place
monev in their hands little
dreamed of; not only this, but
the factory will be placed on a
paying basis, and not dependent
upon oysters alone to ran.
Our reporter interviewed Mr.
Ford, in charge of the factory,
and he tells us, if you people
will omy raise vegetables, your ateoiu.e .redely tor Consumption and all
.j ihroat. Chest and Lunjj Diseases; also for
La Grippe Saccesifallj Treated.
4i I have jast recovered from
the second attack ol la grippe
this year," says Mr. Jae. A.
Jones, publisher of the Leader
Mexia, ;Texa. "In th latter
cace I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and I think
with considerable success, only
being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the
former attack. The second at
tack I am satisfied would have
been equally ae bad as the first
but for the use of this remedy
as I had to go to bed in about
six . hours after being Struck
with it, while in the first case I
was able to at end to business
about two days before getting"
down.'" For Sale at Tayloe's
