Former County Man Prospects For Oil In Robeson County E R. Smith And Partner Lease Several Thousand Acres In Lumberton Section. Lumberton, Nov. 12 — E. R. Smith and G. Gillespie, of Fort Lauder dale, Fla., oil prospectors, the for mer once of Kings Mountain, have been In Robeson county for the past five or six weeks and have secured leases on several thousand acres of land in the vicinity of the Davis filling station, six miles from Lum berton, Raft Swamp township, whe*;e oil has been flowing from a pump for the past several week3. Some of the leases are on land as far away as six miles from the fill ing station, it is said. Finding oil at the pump at the filling station brought to the minds of several of the people of the community facts that lead the.n to believe there has been trace of oil there for the past 30 years. For years people have been having trou ble with their pumps out there, often getting a yellowish sort of sub stance that resembles the stuff that Is being pumped out of the ground at the filling station. Recently many people have observed that some kind of oil has been on top of the small streams along Raft and Holy swamps. Some skeptical people have gone to the bottom of the streams and found leaves saturated with oil. Burns Well. The oil that has been coming from the pump Is of orange color. It has a peculiar odor, at first smells of lin seed oil and then of refined kero sene. It burns with ease, and some of the people of the community have been burning it In their lamps. The oil found in the streams and boles resembles that of the pump. While there is great interest In the developments, there are many who are skeptical and are not yet con vinced that there Is oil in Robeson county. Many people from Lum berton have gone out Into the sec tion and seen traces of the oil and are unable to explain where It comes from. The fact that the stuff smells cf kerosene has caused many to be skeptical. The leases which have been sign ad, none of which have been re corded in the office of the register of deeds of Robeson county, give the leasees the right to the land for cil-promoting purposes for a term of five years and as long after as oil is found thereon. The persons leasing the land furnished all equipment and do the drilling, and the lessors get one-eighth. It Is proposed to start drilling about January 1. Smith formerly lived in Kings Mountain. He. married a sister of Wiilie J. Prevatt, of Lumberton, and it was while on a visit to relatives here that he learned something of what has been happening out in Raft Swamp. He has had some ex perience in the oil business, it Is said. Gillespie is said to be a retired lawyer and superior court Judge hi the state of Missouri. He has had experience in the oil industry, it is reported. Penney Doll Show For Education Week Local Store Gives Play For Children As Part Of Educational Week Program.
