those which are classed as fully
integrated; i. e., those which start
with the basic raw material wood,
and those which are classed as
"converting mills"; i. e.. those
which are dependent upon other
plants for their supply of wood
pulp. The Champion mill at Can
ton falls in the first class, being
entirely self-contained in that it
is 'equipped for every step in the
process of making paper, begin
ning with the liarvestrng of the
tree.
Mr. Damtoft said the mill at
Canton began operation in 1907
"Incidentally you will be interest
"d to know." he said, "that the
mill might have been established
it V;i nesviile. had Mr. Thomson
been convinced of the practicabil
ity of the suggestion which was
made by one of Waynesville's then
enthusiastic boosters, that sufficient
.vater could be made available by
lushing a tunnel under the moun
tain near Davis Gap and diverting
Pigeon liiver through it! As or
iginally designed it included pro
cesses for the manufacture of sul
phite pulp, soda pulp, container
!o;ird and tannic acid. Through
nit the almost 40 years which have
since elapsed there has been a
gradual expansion of activities, in
cluding establishment of threi
paper machines and two additional
processes for manufacture of pulp,
and an over-all increase in pro
ductive capacity. Today the pro
ducts of the mill fall into three
major classifications, to wit: pulp,
paper and chemicals."
Wood is reduced to pulp by four
standard processes, each of which
's particularly well suited to cer
iain species of trees and to the
IcvcU.pmeiit of certain fibre qual
t ics. The Canton plant of Cham
pion is one of but two mills in the
'.'niled States which is equipped
lo employ all of them; and that is
."by Champion is often referred to
is the pioneer in the South in the
ield of diverstied pulp ami paper
(induction. Other mills in the
region for the most part, employ
but the one process, known as sul
phate or kr.il't.
Of the four pulping processes,
one is mechanical and the other
three chemical The mechanical,
as its name implies, involves the
leai ing apart of the fibres of wood
by the mechanical action of a re
volving stone Although it makes
a separation of the fibres it does
not eliminate the lignin from the
cellulose and hence its product
can be used to only a very limited
extent in the higher grade papers
where requirements for color and
texture are relatively exacting. It's
one advantage is comparative low
cost for low quality papers, such
as newsprint; hence it occupies an
insignificant place in Champion
production.
"The three chemical pulping
processes are sulphite, soda and
sulphate, the former employing an
acid and the latter two an alka
line solution for the softening and
dissolving of the material which
binds together the cellulose fibres
of the wood. Inasmuch as the sul
phate process is particularly adapt
ed to the resinous woods, such as
yellow pines, it is the one which
is assuming increasingly greater
importance through the South; for
example, all of the mills which
have been established in the South,
in the past decade use it; and the
post-war conversion plans of Cham
pion include the elimination of its
sulphite digesters in favor of sul
phate. "The sulphate process was pat
ented in Germany in 1880 and
subsequently developed in Sweden
a very prominent pulp producing
country in 1898. The first mill
to utilize it in the U. S. was in
idtntally the first paper mill to
be established in the pine terri
tory of the South, at Roanoke
Hapids. in 1909 another North
Carolina fust!
"When Champion first employed
the sulphate process in 1915. its
use was then limited, as in other
mills, to the production of un
bleached brown paper, known as
kraft wrapper.' Subsequently,
however, Champion chemists suc
ceeded in solving the problem of
bleaching the sulphate pine pulp
to a high degree of whiteness with
out seriously reducing its strength,
and thereby definitely contributed
to and stimulated the recent dra
matic expansion of the pulp indus
try in the South. Champion's own
most recent expansion, the con
struction of a mill at Pasadena,
Texas, is an example there it
manufacturers from pine a high
grade paper, much of which is
used in the publication of one oi
the most popular of our national
weeklies. Life.
"The versatility of Canton's
pulping equipment and the re
finements of its processes, com
plimented by local availability of
a wide variety of tree species,
permit the manufacture of a wide
range of types of papers, each of
which involves the blending of
pulps of the qualities necessary
to produce the required character
istics, including paper for business
stationery, envelopes, postage
stamps, catalogues, magazines and
labels; drawing and wrapping
paper; foil wrapper; paper board
for file folders and guides, post
cards, cans, cups and milk con
tainers. "Incidentaly to the manufacture
of pulp and paper several impor
tant commercial chemicals are pro
duced. Most important among
them is chestnut tannin extract,
the outstanding tannin agent for
the production of heavy leathers.
mrh-as olfc ahd belting
"This material is bleached from
chestnut chips prior to their pulp
ingand incidentally the plant at
Canton is the largest single unit
producers of Chestnut tanning in
the world.
"From the spent liquor of the
sulphite pulping process ithat is
the liquor after it has been used in
the digesting or pulping of wood
we obtain a ligning extract, known
is Bindex, which is used as a
inder in foundries, as a general
adhesive, and also in tanneries for
.he plumping of leather.
"An important adjunct of the
Canton mill is the electrolytic
bleach plant in which is produced
.he chlorine, which is the bleach
ing agent used in developing the
jroper degree of whiteness of the
pulps. Chlorine, as you probably
known, results from the electrolysis
jf brine. An important by-product
if the process is caustic soda for
ivhich we find our principal mar
et in the textile plants of the
Piedmont Carolinas.
"Now, what does this mean to
he local economy (and again we
must resort to statistics). Wood is
now being purchased at the rate
jf approximately 4'!4 millions of
dollars annually and the local pay
roll involving 2,400 employees is
ut the rate of approximately Sfi,
700,000; a total of V-i millions of
Jollars for circulation in Haywood
ounty. and surrounding territory.
This compares with a correspond
ing figure of 7' millions of dol
'ars during the year immediately
six-ceding our entry into the War,
and with $4,100,000 for the year
prior thereto."
Mr. Damtoft concluded by point
ing out; "That, gentlement, as an
over-all sketchy picture of the de
velopment, structure and products
af one Haywood county industry. It
:s staple from the standpoint of
continuity of operation, having
functioned for nearly forty years
with but one very short period
of interruption; it is staple from
the standpoint of labor turn-over,
nore than 1900 of its approximate
ly 2400 employees having served
nore than 5 years. 1403 more than
10 years, 972 more than 15 years,
317 more than 20 years anil 291
more than 25 years. Whatever
success has been achieved is funda
nentally due to the vision of Peter
G. Thomson and to the correctness
of his appraisal of the resources of
Western North Carolina, both ma
terial and human. Regardless of
the advantage of the material re
sources in relation to the require
ments of the industry its history
could not have been so happy had
it not been for the character and
nature of the loeal people, for their
fine spirit of cooperation whether
as co-workers within the industry,
as public officials or as neighbors.
Those of us who are now connected
with Champion management are
truly grateful that Mr. Thomson
selected Haywood county, in West
ern North Carolina, a grand place
In a grand State.''
