"Old Savannah" Gets New Look And Paws
Tribute To Modern Day Farming Methods
BY AL HARRISON

Farmers who knew of the VEN
ture told him that he was crazy
for investing money in such poor
earth but their pessimistic views
only added fuel to the fire of de-
termination in Tally Eddings TO
turn THE Old Savanna" between
Tabor City and Loris. into a pros
porous farm.
Two hundred and fifty acres of
wilderness flushed with swamps
and basins is Nd easy task for
any person to tackle-it becomes
even more difficult when the per-
son has had no farming expert
ence and knows about farming
only what he has read in books.
These obvious handicaps weren't
given the slightest edge when Ed
dings gave up his business in
Knoxville, Tenn, and started out
to make a fervent wish come true.
Tall tales about the entire tract
Of land being submerged in water
were taken lightly by Eddings. He
possessed knowledge that even
the many hunters, who had cussed
the cold, watery Savanna" in
their quest for game, failed to re-
alize. >Eddings was armed with
the report that within these $50
acres Of wilderness was the high
est point in Horny County.
Evidently, no one had waded
all the way through the swamp
land that dotted the edges Of The
Savanna or they would have re-
allied that within this watery-
grave looking land was q rich
and fertile SOIL" said Eddings
as he recalled years Of hopeful
wishing for ownership Of "The
Old Savanna"
Highly successful farms border
the Savanna on all sides which
was the key to Edding's thought
that proper drainage and employ
ment Of scientific farming methods
would result IN some Of the ricA-

Progress has been rapid in get
ting the farm developed for pro-
duction this year. During the
early part Of January a tobacco
bed was put in and Eddings stated
that he hoped to have a crop this
year. The allotment for the first
farm was three and one-half
acres.

New Development
In Pond Project

This week Dodd agreed to sell
the pond to the corporation for
$500 cash and every effort will
be eXcrted to raise this amount
and thus affect a huge saving on
the purchase.
Organizers of the fund raising
effort have expressed the hope
that $50 shares can be sold. This
would make it possible for the
pond to be paid for in cash and
in full and set aside enough addi-
tional capital to carryout a great
deal of the Improvement work
scheduled to be done.
All persons interested in look
ing over the pond before deciding
to buy stock or not will have the
opportunity April II and 10 when
motor boats will be available at
the lake to escort prospective
stockholders on a tour of the
property.
With several people selling
stock, IL was impossible ut press
time to know exactly how many
shares had been sold to date.
However. Il was a certainty that
at least SO shares were sold. OF
this amount, $500 had been
paid In cash and checks, and
$1,000 was on hand In the form
OF signed personal notes.
A meeting of stockholders who
have paid for their shares will
be held within few days to elect
the corporations original officers.
Officers are expected to be elected
on an annual basis by the stock
holders at a special called meeting
each year.
