time to find that the Columbus
soil and climate was peculiar
ly adapted to growing straw

In 1898 there were 10 carload
shipments leaving the county
with 5000 crates. The following
year this jumped to 1900
crates. In 1900, 1856 carloads
were shipped and in 1901 4l,00O

The red juice flowed down
the streets and as Mrs. J. A.
Brown, wife of the founder of
the industry, said in 1888 those
of us forced to inhale the fer
'menting carnations were quite
sure that we would never again

1t took more than $4,000

As carloads of berries steamed

Some of the berries could not
be transported by the railroad
and the trucking industry was
not yet born. In this predica-
ment, large quantities of the
berries spoiled on the railroad
and they made payments to the
farmers for the loss. At one
time, payments OF S48O,OO0 were
made to farmers for spoiled
berries.
This phenomenal growth con-

In Just about every phase of
economic life, Columbus county
has progressed in the last SO
years but in the matter of straw
berries, this area has been on
the way down.
A half century ago. Columbus
county, with Chadbourn in the
forefront was truly the straw
berry capital of the world. More
Strawberries were shipped from
Columbus county right after the
turn of the century than from
any other area of the world and
it justly deserved the distinction
of being the leading berry
growing and shipping center in
the nation"
Today with only a few thouS-
and crates of berries shipped
eoch year, the total annual bust
ness can scarcely compare with
a weeks business in the old
days.
Take 1906 for instance. That
was the record year. On 4
single selling day in 1906
there were 1870 carloads of
berries shipped out Of Chad
bourn. This titantic day saw
$4,000 crates of berries sold,
q total of 1,152.O00 quarts.
During that season. 217,O00
crates of berries were market
ed In the county representing
11,104,000 quarts. That was
the year to remember.
The strawberry business in
Columbus was started by J. A
Brown in 1896. Brown founded
the Sunny South Colony and
began growing berries on a
modest basis that year. That
first season he shipped berries
in what was known as pony re-
frigerators." This was in actu-
ality a galvanized pan about
four inches deep with ice in the
top of the box. These containers
held 60 quarts OF berries and
were shipped by express at a
cost of about y cents per quart.
In 1897 the business really
had its beginning. Four carloads
containing 600 crates were ship
ped to Northern markets from
Chadbourn. This shipment earn
ed for the farmers who grew
them S5,562 and the encourag-
ing figure started everyone to
planting berries
Two years before, 1895 Mr..
Brown had started bringing
in farmers to the Sunny South
Colony, a fertile but totally
undeveloped area surrounding
the village of Chadbourn.
These farmers were progress

growing Strawberries. The dis
tance to Chadbourn made it adj
viSable to sell closer home if
possible because travel in that
day was difficult at the best and
impossible at times.
As early as 1918, the Tabor
City market sold as many as
40 carloads a day. Chadbourn
was still the big market but
Tabor City was expanding the
Columbus county outlets for
this fruit that was in such
great demand in the North.
Then came two stumbling
blocks in the strawberry bust
ness. A strawberry weevil APP
peared and in that day of little
research and scarcely any know
ledge of insecticides, sprays, etc,
this little critter was real
problem. And to that the begin
ming of World War l, and you
spell out the reasons for the
sudden downward trend in the
strawberry markets.
The war left few laborers
available to handle the crop and
annual shipments for the coun-
ty fell to something like $50
carloads a season.
a mod-nbrebA 4eprfo e 800.
With the close of the war and
return to normally the berry
business picked up again. BY
this time the government had
come to the berry farmers res
cue. DR.. w. A. Thomas with his
Laboratory and assistants struck
a death knell for the weevil and
Strawberries again became
queen of the crops.
This is how Mrs. Brown de
scribed the era following the
war: Again streams of vehicles
of every kind. size and variety
began the procession from the
country to the Chadbourn mark
ct place and pour their rosy,
sun-kiSsed treasures in a double
stream into the markets wait
ing nav, where they are eager
ly bounced upon by dozens of
buyers from Eastern and North
.ern markets"
ChadbOurn at this time had
~ buyers on the strawberry
market.
But the berry never came back
with the impact OF those early
years although it was a leading
money crop again. In 1882, for
instance, Chadbourn shipped
nearly 700 carloads OF berries.
Tabor City in 1880 shipped
$1,000 crates and in 1887 there
were 10000 crates shipped
from Tabor City. This jump
ed to $1,000 crates in 1899.
In 1893 Tabor City had built
an auction shed for the berries
and hired an auctionccr and as
they said al that time Tabor
City is out . give the growers
70 new deal. They also adopted

peared to be a desperate attempt
to inflict damage on the facilities
of Israeps major deepwater port

Israel's third largest city. Israeli
batteries responded within min
utes of the first Egyptian shots
and the sky was lit up by the
criss-crossing flash of shells and
the glare of rockets. By daylight,
the Israelis had scored hits on the
frigate which sealed her fate.
An Israel communique after the
engagement revealed that the
Egyptian gunners had caused no
casualties in Haifa. Nor did they
damage property, according to an
Israeli spokesman, although the
conclusion of shots fired by both
sides had shattered some win

ADJ SCORES BUSINESS
GROUP FOR BARRING
JEWISH MEMBERS

NEW YORK, (JTA) = An elite
club, described as the nerve cen
ter of the cotton textile industry,
bars Jews from membership, it
was charged here by the Anti
Defamation League of B'nai
Birth. The ADJ charged that the
Merchants Club, which operates
like private social group, is
nevertheless exempt from taxa
ton on the basis of its claim that
it is a business organization with
a quasi-public function.
The ADJ said that it had found
that while club members disclaim
any prejudice against Jews and
concede that many of their friends
and business contacts are Jews,
''The Merchants Club has never
been known to accept an Ameri
can of the Jewish faith to mem
bership" in the 85 years of its
existence. The B'nai Birth group
added that an explanation by the
club that it was a social organfza-
ton based on common religious
belief would be impressive" if
the club itself had not fought in
the court for tax exemption on
the grounds that it was no such
thing.
