disclosed yesterday in New Han.
over county's Superior Court be-
fore Judge Clawson l.. Williams
and a jury.
One custom, a quartet of four
estate operators testified to. is that

tween the two companies.
In return for the porto, of the
commission going to the company
which does not have the property
listed, it must soft pedal" any
like property in which the pros.
pective buyer might be interested.
Another custom is that the real
estate board arbitrates any dis.

cent on the commission ia such
cases but that custom has bee,

Strawberry OF Columbus

south. So interested was he in this
information that he went to Chicago
where he convinced the leaders
OF the project that Columbus
county held the advantages these
northwestern farmers were search
ing for and in April, 1895 a large
band Of farmers from that sec
ton came to the Chadbourn e
The success of their venture is now
history in the county.
Their arrival resulted in the
establishment of what was known
as THE Sunny South Colony and
constituted a two way experiment
which resulted in the establishment
of a permanent North Carolina
town and a North Carolina in
dustry.
Today. Chadbourn is one of the,
IT not the, largest center for the
strawberry industry.
This mammoth INDUSTRY. which
has brought millions of dollars in
income to Columbus county farm
ers, stemmed from the vision of
one man. With a far seeing eye,
Mr.. Brown perhaps did not forsee
the enormous proportions to which
the industry would grow, but he
saw clearly that there was straw
berry gold in the soil of Columbus
county. Until his death he was
the champion of the strawberry.
The story Of the strawberry in
Columbus county is n of the
great stories of the county's his
tory. And it's also the story Of

Some people can eat strawberries
and some people have to leave
them to others. But whether you
eat. the red berry Or not the grow
ing of the strawberry is most i'm
portant to the residents of Column
bus county.
1t was back in 1926 that the late
j. A.. Brown wrote, 'the straw
berry vas a major item in put
ting Columbus county on the map.
Thirty years prior to 1875,
Brown. who is credited with being
the father of the strawberry in
dustry in the county, came under
the influence of a far sighted
businessman who saw in the Chad
bourn area great possibilities for
the growth of the strawberry in
dustry in the community.
So convincing was the gentle
man that in strawberries lay a
great future that he convinced
Brown to pillow up several acres of
growing crops and substitute
STRAWBERRIES for the displaced
plants.
Now that was way back in 1895.
The first experiment was a total
loss. But the convinced straw
berry farmer, Brown, learned
from this first planting of the
berry that means so much to a
strawberry short cake these days.
But the pioneering of Brown
was not to be discouraged. On the
contrary he became more deter
mined. The next year he started
a greater crop and melted almost
six thousand dollars.
At the same time Brown was
experimenting with the growing Of
strawberries, other things were
happening in that section. What is
now Chadbourn was being settled
by a hardy colony Of northwestern
ers.
He had heard that there was a
sponsoring move afoot to bring
farmers from the northwest to the

Liberty Freighter Blaze
Blankets Delaware !
River Waterfront

PHILADELPHIA, May 2e-(P1-
A stubborn fire deep in the after
hold of the Liberty Ship Barbara
Friestcaie tonight ~blanketed the
Delaware river waterfront with
smoke and posed a difficult prob
lem for firemen.
No one was injured or endanger-
ed, Chief Engineer john C. Frost
reported.
Feeding on hundreds of tons of
tar paper, other paper products
and automobile tires and tubes,
the fire ragged beneath several lay
ers of steel pilings slowed in the
hold. Tons Of water were poured
into the hatch from shore lines
and two city fireboats.
The ship developed a steep list
to port but fire officials said there
was no immediate danger of the
vessel capsizing.
Hundreds of bags of sugar just
unloaded to the pier from another
vessel we're soaked.
Fne fire was confined to No. s
hold but it's cause was not de-
termened Immediately. 1t was the
last hatch to be loaded.
James F. Carney, chief clerk for
the A. H. Bull CO., the ships agent,
and also pier superintendent,
sounded the alarm for the fire.
He had no estimate of damage.
The ship was scheduled to sail
tomorrow for the Caribbean area,
but the fire will delay it's depart
ure indefinitely, Carney said.
