Roxboro—Soon there will come to this town another large manufacturing plant. Through the untiring efforts of J.A. Long, he has interested the A.T. Baker Company of Philadelphia, and they with some local capital will erect a large cotton mill about two miles north of Roxboro near the Longhurst plant. The new mill represents about half a million dollars at the beginning, and it is hoped and expected that the A.T. Baker Company will be so well pleased with Southern conditions that they will move their entire mill business which represents several million dollars, to this section. Work will begin in the near future on the buildings, and the whole plant will be rushed to completion just as rapidly as possible.
