Sampson County Farmer Chas. R. Beaman Produces 1,148-Pound Porker, Feb. 1, 1921

Clinton, Jan. 30—Again Sampson challenges the State to beat its big hog. Mr. Chas. R. Beaman is the champion. Year after year, for several years, he has killed a monster porker, but that of this year probably beats his best record, as well as set one of the whole State. The monster porker, killed this week, netted 1,148 pounds, and this did not include the liver and other loose parts, as is the case in weighing some big hogs.

Several others weighing over 700 have been killed in the county, the next largest being an 846 pounder, which belonged to Mr. Alvin Royall. Mr. L.T. Alderman reports the slaughter of a 720 pounder by his brother, Mr. D.B. Alderman. Sampson has plenty of hog and hominy to supply the county needs.
