UNPRECEDENTED GAINS SHOWN
IN TABOR CITY DURING 1852

will be in operation long before
1858 fades away and many Wo-
men will nave steady jobs in this
area.
Again the Caroiinas Yam Festi-
val was staged. 1t drew a record
number Of people and put Tabor
City on the map again. Even pic
ture road maps now have the
famous Tabor City yams pictured
in Columbus county.
The post office found a new
home and helped eradicate the
traffic pre- blem of the narrow
Fifth street that had been head
ache for so many years.
A dozen new homes were CON-
pleted in Tabor City during 1852
most of them of the type that does
credit to the community.
Several new business buildings
were constructed and new store
fronts went up on many others.
Air conditioning was installed in
-even business houses during 1852
marking the beginning of this ltlx-
ury in this area.
The Tabor City schools witness
ed another good year and athletic
teams enjoyed creditable won and
lost records.
The Tabor City Negro school
children had a new seven room
building when they came back to
hit the books this fall and the
white school had the best cafeter-
ia available in history.
The city water tank got its face
lifted and cleaned out.
A new street lighting contract
was signed that will give Tabor
City rs percent more Illumination
The markets were strong in
price again with the yam market
averaging over $500 per bushel
for the first time. The volume Of
sweet potatoes was also above the
1851 season.
At long last Tabor City has a
feed mill that can take care OF
the grinding needs of farmers in
the area. The mill located On the
Whiteville road just outside OF
town has been a need discussed
by many for years and became a
reality just this week when it op-
ened its doors for the public.
And the people of Brunswick
County We're welcomed 20 the
area as the handsome PireWay
bridge was opened across the Wac

All in all, if every year shows
progress in Tabor City like 1852
it will bear out the slogan coined
six years ago that Tabor City Is
the Town With A City Future"

Wednesday Closing Is Uncerta;r,

The Wednesday afternoon clos
ing controversy was back in the
limeight among Tabor City mer-
chants this week.
Long known as one of the most
tedious questions which merchants
must decide upon, the most recent
friction has arisen since the an
nual banquet of the Merchants
Association. In past years, the
practice has been to close on We'd
nesday afternoons during the
months of May, June and July
only.
Newly-elected president S. T.
Rogers circulated a petition among
the merchants asking them to vote
in writing whether they chose to
close on Wednesday during May,
June and July OF to close each
Wednesday NTH august first, be-
ginning with TIE first Wednesday
in January.
The results Of this petition ShcW-
&c that more than two merchants
to one favored closing beginning
in January. TIE actual vote was
2S for closing beginning in Janu-
airy as compared with only 10
who favored the May, JIne and
July closing.
But there were still some bust
ness firms who did not agree to
close and this week there was
considerable doubt in many peo-
ple's minds al to just what the
situation was.
President Rogers was OF the
Opinion that the overwhelming
majority favored closing starting
the first of the year and that eve
ryone should join in, but there
was some doubt as to whether tius
procedure would be followed.
About the only sure thing that
could be said about the situation
was being said everywhere, aid
that was that the affair was con-
siderabiy iambled up and carried
with it the overtunes of disruptlns
an organization that has function
ed advantageously for Tabor City
for the past six years.

were ablaze in different areas,
which might add strength 10 tne
assumption that fires were set IN
